Pointless Poll Vol 2.3 (Real Life)
« Reply #15 on: August 14, 2006, 05:22:25 AM »
I enjoy taking risks ... such as mixing things I enjoy with things relating to work.  I've managed to do this without injury ... ASFAIK ....

I've worked RP events and/or characters (developed in game: NWN) into stories for my creative writing classes.  I've submitted character portraits in my art classes.  And presently, I'm working on a database system for a PW server (not this one) as well as a web interface to view and modify the data ... which in turn will allow for rather limited control of the PW via the web interface.  This project will help fill out my resume ... and, hopefully, help land me a better job in the near future.

If not for these aspects, I imagine I'd have put NWN aside long ago.  I play very few other games ... unless solitaire counts ....

*nod nod*  It's good experience, and looks good when you do that stuff for fun.  You sure as hell know LotN is mentioned on my resume.  I even got to bring y'all up briefly in my last interview.

My friends think I'm a loon where LotN is concerned, and consistantly refuse to listen to anything about what is going on online. ;)

Gaming did effect my life, then I found a wonderful girlfriend to help me out. Before that even I still had a social life, but I've always been reclusive.

I voted Yes. But I play far less than I used to.
