You say you work on your Jeep a lot, Are you a mechanic or do you just have a lot of knowledge on the subject? curious to know :P

I've always loved tanking things apart and putting them back together, and one of my best friends has a sweet garage. I just research what needs to be done and I do it.

Welcome Boat Van! I'd love to hear the joke sometime :P What is the best MMO experience you have?

[Boat Van]

My first day playing EVE Online, after just completing the tutorials, my friend told me he wanted me to meet him. I proceeded to meet him with his corp, about to warp in to a huge fight, similar to a operation in SWTOR. My ship got wrecked within minutes but my friend sat in vent with me as I watched the rest of the battle from my capsule, and explained everything he could. I learned more in those few minutes of battle about pvp than any tutorial could have taught me.
After the battle, my friend and several people I didn't even know chipped in a ton of isk and equipment to get me back on my feet. Things like that really make you feel welcome.

[Nwahs]

Nice answer! Sounds like a pretty sweet experience.

You seem to have what it takes to start your trials. Are you ready?

[Boat Van]

Yep .

4. Age Of Empires Series (Wololo)

Which is your favorite AoE game (1, 2, or 3)? I have to ask cause I love this series even though I haven't played it in foreeeeever.

[Boat Van]

I guess I'd have to say II, I really liked all of the races and the campaigns from the original and the expansion. Online multiplayer, from what I remember was pretty balanced and fun.

Which was your favorite?


Also, on a semi-related note, if anyone wants to play some Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds over himachi sometime, i think it would be a blast.

[FullMetalSeraph]

I liked the second best too. My favorites were Celts and Chinese. I played 3 for a while, but it just didn't seem as fun.

[Boat Van]

Here is AoE II in a nutshell, for those who never played.
