Hi, I have been reading the forum here for a few years. It's a great source of information and opinions and is well moderated which is very appealing after the anti-social behaviour that happens on NZ's most popular internet forum at Trademe.

My main interest is in PC's as I am a big fan of Turn-Based Games like Civilization and Galactic Civilizations. Also the odd RPG like Skyrim and FPS such as Deus Ex which have a strong exploration factor. Virtual worlds fascinate me and I read Science Fiction space operas. Now usually on Kindle.

I live in Wanganui and like it here. It's a much pleasanter town than people think, and contrary to popular belief does not have and never has had a "gang problem." Just had to get that off my chest!

Welcome! Yeah nice & quiet little town. It all depends on which suburb you are ;-) I was there for a couple of years and had a great time!
