What, I do have 2 prostitutes living with me, that's what I said... and at least they don't charge (that often). http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Yes, they are of the felidae family, more specifically the felis silvestris catus subspecies. And yes, they tend to suck up my resources, both gold and supplies, I fondly call them "fat cats".

31 year old family practicioner. I'm a regular over on Space Empires, played the Dom 2 demo and enjoyed it but never purchased as I heard that 3 was in development and was hopeful that it would fix some of the start-up (set-up) problems I had with the game.

And yes, I pre-ordered. So my money is where my mouth is http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Nah, Shmonk... admit it... you live in your own private seraglio. I have heard about the lavish lifestyle you Californians demand (compared to what we prefer here in austere New England)! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

I never knew what smog was till I went to California. It's freaking DISGUSTING!

I'm 19 years old, male, living in central British Columbia, Canada, near a tiny little town called Fort Fraser. Currently semi-employed, working on a cattle ranch. So everytime you eat a steak...it coulda been me who helped create that steak! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I spend a lot more time over at the Space Empires forum, but lurk around here now and then. First got into the world of Dominions a couple years back with Dom2. I found it highly enjoyable, even if the AI always kicked me in the arse with a steel-toed boot. Looking forward to, and have pre-ordered, Dom3.

As far as gaming goes, my favorite genres are Turn Based Stratgy, the occasional FPS, Space Simulations, and games that require more thought than reflexes.

I have an intense interest in astronomy and astrophysics, along with chemistry. However, I am not going to pursue any of those fields in further education. In fact, not sure what I'm going to do. Hopefully I'll figure out in a year or two, until then I'm working when possible.

I hear British Columbia is an amazingly beautiful place!

Re: Introduce yourself!! :-)
 

It absolutely is! BC has essentially all climate types, from temperate rainforests to deserts to mountain ranges to broad valleys, etc. I'm very happy to have grown up here, and I'll probably live here for quite some time. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Of course, be careful where you go in the winter. The winter before last, we hit -49°C once [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Cold.gif[/img] [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Cold.gif[/img] [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Cold.gif[/img] Though that's by far the exception, not the rule.

Re: Introduce yourself!! :-)
 

It's better to have cold winters. Otherwise you don't have snow and you don't appreciate the summer properly.

Imagine growing up without snowballs http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: Introduce yourself!! :-)
 

I don't have to imagine, I have no snowballs :\
Damned tropic climate! (not really tropic, we almost never go under 10 or over 40)
But atleast no one in the country is more than an hour's drive away from the ocean, and the weather allows bathing ~6 months per year (though if you go to the ocean too early, everything might be closed), and I know that in many states in the USA going to see the ocean is something special.
