Greetings...

My name is Josh... Known throughout the gaming worlds as Orion, Korvinus, Johannus, Chester, and The Onion (long story...) . This is my site (in case you hadn't figured it out by now) . Here, you will find information on things that interest me (I know, such a unique concept...) .

I first got introduced to gaming at the mere age of four. Nineteen Eighty-nine was the year, and Sierra Entertainment was in its prime! My uncle (lovingly referred to as Unka from here on out) had bought Hero's Quest, a game designed by the husband and wife team of Lori Ann and Corey Cole (www.transolar.com).

Well, I would sit for hours watching Unka play. His little 16bit hero hacking and slashing (with very repetitive attacks) his way through the forest.

I was hooked. Many a night was I fought with to get my four year old arse to bed. Unka wasn't happy when he was told to shut off the game so I would. (For that matter, now that I think of it... I wasn't very happy about that as well...)

In fact, I was four years old and knew how to type...

C:> cd sierra
C:\SIERRA> cd hero
C:\SIERRA\HERO> sierra

*childish smile* I was brilliant for my age.

Anywho... Sequels came, the hero graduated from EGA to VGA. I could actually play the games easier with the new point-and-click interface, (Yay!) because at four, I lacked the knowledge to be able to read the manual, or type out the commands in the games parser interface.

And then, years later... X-mas 98 if I remember correctly (Oh dear God... almost ten years ago... Man do I feel old...) , Sierra released the final game of their best series to date. Quest for Glory 5: Dragon Fire. (You see, Hero's Quest had to be renamed... Sierra failed to copyright the name, and had to change it due to a now forgotten board game called "Hero Quest.")

This was a big day for me, because now I actually owned my own QfG game. I rubbed it in to Unka (neener neener neener!) ... he didn't care (I did, so that's all that matters) .

So around that time, I started a bit of writing. Very. Immature. Writing.

I'm still proud of it, because we all have to start somewhere... But yes, it's cringe-worthy. (Ten years later, I'm STILL writing it rather slowly, not sure if anyone even reads it. Post it on forums and get zero replies... Thus, lack of motivation to continue.)

So, I now moderate a forum geared towards QfG. (Which is by far on of the bestest places on the net!)

And then came winter 'ought five.' The year the Blizzard hit me. World of Warcraft! Consumer of Souls. Devourer of Free Time. And I liked it! No... no... LOVED it! *squees*

Here I am, over a year later. Epitome of the casual. One character level 70, the others below 70 still. I have fallen ill with Alt-itis.

Why spend gold on 'phat lewts' for your main when you can totally pimp out your alts in gear far better for them?

But anyways, why bother boring you more...
