RKade Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I'm a cripple (eyes, ears, lungs, lungs, chronic pain, and lungs) from the states. Born 3 mo's early back in '83 and the docs said "get him a video game" and my parents bought me the greatest video game system ever, the Atari 800xl. I've literally been playing it since before I could talk AND I learned how to read and write with it. I originally signed up to thank people for altirra because I had been banging my head against a wall ever since I got Windows 7 and my old best friend died so so long ago. So, yeah, I'm Ryan and I'm going to try my hand at the high score games and generally lurk about. I would someday like to get another Atari 800xl (or better) and a way to get all the rom files onto floppies so I can play it like it OUGHT to be played, on a tv being prompted by a black background, yellow letters, and dark blue prompt letters to pick my choice! In other news, I enjoy Civilization 4, Lord of the Rings Online, and my wife whose parents hated her and gave her the inferior 2600 as a child.

slyde Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 We play on Laurelin. I'd rather not fire off that warhead. Her mom's crazy... hmmm, im not familiar that that server, but admittedly ive pretty much just been on Brandywine and Elindimir. I rarely look thru the server listing. Its a great game, especially if you are a fan of the books.. i think they've really done a good job at making it as authentic and lore-rich as they could have...

sloopy Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Except Legolas' hair is blonde which cheeses the wife off (no idea on the swearing stance so I'll err on the side of caution) swearing stance is business casual fridays... the 5 letter ones can slip by on occasion, but the 4 letter ones will get an evil eye ;') and i will put my in-laws up against anyone when it comes to 'my parents are figgin crazy' ;') sloopy.
