New World Delayed
Again, New World was delayed until May 2021 and to fill the gap, we have started playing many different games. World of Warcraft and Guild Wars 2 have been the most popular, but Stormborn is being represented in other games too like Star Citizen, Final Fantasy XIV, Project Zomboid, and many others.

what got you hooked on gaming?
Oh geez, there's so many. I've been playing games as early as I can remember. I think my first console was a SEGA Genesis. I would play Battle Toads, Mortal Kombat (the original), that old Lion King platformer (so good LOL). My friend growing up owned (well his parents did) a movie/game rental store, so we would get to play all the games for free!
what do you do for a living?
Sr. Software Engineer for a big financial institution.

My favorite sport is Ultimate Frisbee. I played on our college team and I'd totally get rid of football or basketball to adopt it as a national sport instead.

I've lived in 6 different states and over 20 different houses growing up (I've stopped counting). In case you were wondering - Virginia, New York, Tennessee, Illinois, West Virginia, Pennsylvania. I currently live in Pittsburgh, PA!

I did stand up comedy at an open mic night! Also, I love stand up if that wasn't apparent LOL

Yes, I have two cats. A 14 year old Nebelung (Dusty) which came as a package deal with my wife, and a 6 month old Bengal kitty (Mazikeen)!

I'm an introvert so I love just hanging out with my close friends, relaxing, enjoying the nice weather, but my wife is an extrovert so I inevitably get dragged out to the clubs LOL.

what got you hooked on gaming?
My very first console was SEGA so I'd have to say the game that officially got me hooked was Sonic and Knuckles. But I need to give credit where credit is due and also mention Mario 64, Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, and Warcraft III. Oh and also NES Punchout.
what do you do for a living?
I am a NetSuite Functional Consultant. A common question I'm asked is what is NetSuite and the easiest way to explain it is that it's an accounting system in the cloud.
