From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi, I'm Cathal. I'm an Irish student studying Genetics in Cork, Éire.

I came across Wikipedia long before I knew what Wikiwiki was, but when I returned to it in 2005 while studying evolution (the day before the exam!) I was pleasantly surprised to see that it had matured significantly.

I'm delighted with the concept of Wiki, and I'm a member of another Wiki site associated with the White Wolf game Exalted, to be found at "http://exalted.xi.co.nz/wiki/wiki.pl", where my username is "Alaron".

I'm obsessed with the biosciences and physics, which is what led me to Wikipedia, but I love knowing things in general. Consequently I've quickly developed a habit of surfing the site randomly for the reading pleasure.

I love to play first person shooters like Battlefield and Counter-Strike (I found a legal Non-Steam version, 'tis great.).

I play many tabletop RPGs such as the aforementioned Exalted and also games such as:
Vampire:_The_Requiem (Expect Vampire_watermelons to feature in my next game..)
The new World_of_Darkness, a game of which I am currently running for my hapless, weak mortal players. Soon to be Vampire: The Requiem I should think.
Legend of the Five Rings (Fantasy Feudal Japanese-style game).
I'm an active member in my City's gaming community, as my family runs a gaming shop and cafe entitled Other Realms, to be found online at "http://www.otherrealms.ie". Drop by if you're ever in Cork.

Meanwhile, I hope I can contribute useful info to Wikipedia, and I'm enjoying everyone else's work so far, so nice work lads, it's great.
