Favourite 8-Bit Theater Character: Evil Princess Sara (why is she not in the strip anymore?!?!? WHY!?!?!?11eleven11!

A Little About Myself: Born in Fairbanks Alaska at the ripe old age of 0 seconds, I grew up here in the Golden Heart City (not to be confused with The Golden Arse City - Cleveland), I maintain my sanity doing various nerdy things including running around in a ninja costume pulling pranks on random people. It's only gotten me shot at twice.

I have been reading 8-Bit Theater since about page 50 and never felt the need to get online and actually voice my oppinions about anything of, or not of, any concern to anyone ever.

But I've been noticing a severe lack of EPS lately in the strip and just wanted a shout out about her character: she is, and always will be, WAY cooler than King Steve.

Currently I am looking forward to being unemployed and blaming it, as usual, on the offspring of others (yeah, my boss in pregnant... suck).

Book(s){make this Authors }?: R.A. Salvatore and some Forgotten Realms books.

I am nice guy but tend to be shy around new groups so if you say hi, I will respond I am married with two kids and doing all I can to maintain a semblance of sanity. I came to 8-bit theater about August of last year through a friend's word of mouth about how the comic's heroes seemed to fit our social circle. I used to be all into MMORPGs but with two kids now, my time has become limited. I like RO for the idea behind the classes and the seemingly ease of leveling but the end game seems to be a bit empty from what I have read (MvP bosses that need many players to bring can make them far and few between). Most of the classes I focus on tend to be support classes as I am a group person and less of a solo person. Anything else, just ask and may/may not answer depending on the privacy issue.

Meh...Hard part I guess... I like music. I'm no critic or expert, and I don't try to be snobbish, but I really like my music and am picky about it. I don't sound like I type, at all (but then, who does?). I'm a lurker, the closest I get to joining a forum usually, is the registration part. I don't keep up with new games or anything....If I get the chance to try it out, I will. Oh and uh, my first real introduction to games was freeform roleplaying, which I still do.
