I suppose I should have read the rules earlier and posted here before I started replying elsewhere . I'm an engineer type , undiagnosed (why would I pay to learn what I already know?) and 44 yrs old . I play chess at about a 1600 USCF rating . I used to grow Bonsai ...can't do that in the desert where I now live . I like to work hard and have yet to discover the secret of making long lasting friendships . I also play Battlefield 2 and its mods ... I can hear the chuckles but someone old has to lead the young gamers . I enjoy military history , strategies and tactics . I love quotes and sayings , and you'll have to bear with me as I pepper my posts with them . I am very glad to meet a group of people who , like me , exhibit symptoms of AS . Hava Good Day .

I think it was more of a suggestion than a rule maybe :wink:

Welcome to the party anyway. You are never too old for video games. 8)

Alei's right, plenty of folks here bypassed the introductory threads altogether and just dived straight in. Welcome!

Hi HandyAndy

Welcome to WP :)

My mothers ex partner used to be OBSESSED with Battlefield 2. He used to spend 24 hours straght playing the game sometimes.
It really out me off playing as I saw the effects of gaming addiction haha. Not that it is a bad thing, but if you become so obsessed that it's all you think about, it really annoys others around you as I have learn't.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy posting here :)
