Greetings! I'm a new user to Wikipedia! It's a great resource, and I hope to contribute in whatever small manner I can. Right now, it's mostly to deal with spots of vandalism I've run into, mainly because I have a hard time considering myself an expert in anything. That said, I know a little about a lot....

[edit] Occupation
I have worked as a Cobol mainframe programmer and as a systems analyst. I have also previously done a stint as a cashier and a bagger in a grocery store, but that really isn't all that relevant!
[edit] Gaming Interests
[edit] Pen and Paper
I've played a number of Role-Playing Games over time, as well as a few wargames and tabletop games. I started RPG's with Star Frontiers, and moved on to Dungeons & Dragons. I've played assorted other games sporadically (Toon and Paranoia remain a pair of favorites), but I keep coming back to D&D. I've also enjoyed good games of Diplomacy and Titan in the past, and of course I have always been a fan of the classic games like Monopoly.
[edit] Computer Games
I have always been interested in computer RPGs, but I've also enjoyed first-person shooters, strategy games, and recently MMORPGs. My recent gaming interests have been heavy with Star Wars Galaxies and World of Warcraft-although I have also experimented with City of Heroes.
[edit] Reading Interests
The fantasy and science-fiction genre has always been my preferred reading, although I've also been known to pick up other books (Tom Clancy, for example). I also have read a number of comic books, primarily Marvel Comics, although I have read trade paperbacks from DC Comics.
[edit] Television and Movie Interests
Movies I have seen recently: Casino Royale, 300 (You can tell how often I get out to see movies). Television shows I watch regularly: Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica, Heroes
[edit] Current Wikipedia Activity
Most of time on Wikipedia has been centered on dealing with vandalism via the Recent Changes Patrol. I've made minor edits to some articles, but have not written any articles at this time. I have recently begun to look over ways to clean up the article Lightsaber Combat after its AfD discussion, mainly because I suspect nobody else will.
