OT: How old are you ?

[Neo]

I am male, 28, unmarried, living in Knoxville, TN, USA. Have a BS in CS. Been trying to work for the Last year as an independent computer programming consultant, but not making enough dough that way so am starting to look for a real company to work for again.

When I am not hacking on my computer, I enjoy physical activity to return some circulation to my sore gluteus maximi and relieve my chronic carpal tunnel, like weight lifting, hiking, running, and mountain biking. I also enjoy sci-fi movies and reading books about theoretical physics, cosmology, and philosophy.

I have been playing strategy and RPG computer games for many years now. My recent Favorites have been MOO2, Civilization, Fallout 1&2, HOMM3, Alpha Centauri, Starcraft, Diablo, and Jagged Alliance 2. I have been earnestly waiting for MOO3 for years now and even bought the really disappointing BotF from Microprose, then I just found SEIV a couple of weeks ago, and found out that it is everything that MOO3 claims it will be, and more! I ordered the full Version after playing the demo for only a couple of hours. I'm really surprised it hasn't gotten more attention. I know I'm going to recommend it to all the strategy gamers I know.

I think it is very telling that the majority of the posters here are either old-school computer geeks or in the military. That is a perfect indication of just how great a strategy game SEIV is.
