I have a couple of questions..

If so, what kinds (RPG, FPS, RTS, MMOs etc)

How often?

What is your sun/moon/asc, and what sign is on the cusp of your 5th house?

I absolutely love gaming - board games, video games, card games, word games, you name it. I'm interested in finding if there are any correlations to video gaming/gaming and specific astrological characteristics.

And does anyone have an opinion on what aspects they would consider to lend itself to a love of gaming?

Me too! If it's a game I can probably get into it, though I grew tired of chess eons ago. I really love elements of every type of game.

I'm a computer programmer among other things, so for me there's as much fun in designing them as playing. Some of my favs

My current game of choice is Dungeons & Dragons Online! It's a lot of fun!! If any of you want to play let me know and i'll tell ye what server I be on

As for RPGs, I love Vampire the Masquerade, Morrowind, the Sims, American McGee's Alice, hmmm that's all I can think of at this early hour!

I don't go in for sports much, but I will play a lil football and baseball on the PS2 w/ my roommate sometimes. Oh, and I don't really care for FPS, although I will play em in certain settings (like a James Bond game).

I've been playing EQ2 for the past year or so, but I'm getting kind of burnt out on it (not to mention MMOs can be such a time sink). If I were to switch it would probably be to DDO. (Hexxie, would love to hear your take on it)

My first video game was a pong/breakout combo machine when I was maybe 7. I had an Atari 2600 that I played religiously until puberty distracted me - and I still have my original NES, Sega Genesis, and a PS2, although I'd have to say I'm primarily a PC gamer.

Has anyone tried out Gametap? It rocks! $14/month for a couple hundred games on multiple formats, including original arcade versions of games, Sega, Atari, Intellivision, Windows and a few other platforms. Nintendo games are conspicuously absent though...

D&D Online is pretty cool, IF you like instances (which I do). It's set up different in the sense that you only interact with people in common areas like the Pubs. Then in instances (like instances in WorldofWarcraft) it's only your group in there. Only thing I regularly complain about is the group limit is 6 (Too small! I think you can add a couple more for a raid type group but not all instances allow you to have a raid type group). The character selection is quite fun in my opinion, lots to choose from. It's also funny to me to see people roleplaying and stuff since, afterall, it IS D & D hehe!! I do miss PvP from time to time

BlueRoamer - I still have an active WoW account! I haven't played in quite awhile due to Beta testing D & D Online and now playing D & D Online. Just you mentioning it makes me miss it hehe. I have a lovely Undead Mage on Stormreaver! What about you, Blue?

I love computer games! I started playing them as a child and really haven’t stopped. My favorites gaming genres are RPGs or MMORPGs (for the computer – I just can’t get into console games). But I also love table top RPGs and I've even done a bit of LARPing.

MMRPGs I enjoyed: I’m currently playing World of Warcraft on the Khadgar server. But I played Final Fantasy XI, and Asheron’s Call 2 in the past. They were all amazing games. I’m looking forward to checking out D&D online, Lord of the Rings Online, and Warhammer.

RPGs I enjoyed: I LOVED Morrowind, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I and II, Vampire: The Masquerade Redemption, and the Longest Journey. I’m gearing up to start game binging on Oblivion some time this weekend.

Ah yes and I’m a Cancer sun, Taurus moon, and Sagittarius ascendant. My 5th house ruler is Aries but that house is empty.
