A long time ago in a city in another state, I was born the first of three kids. I am the nerd of the family, the geek, the square. And proud of it. First and foremost, I'm a dad. My motto has always been "Real Life Always Comes First" which is why I'm so often interrupted when gaming. I've been gaming since the early 80s, and have no intention of stopping soon. Around 1990 I "upgraded" to PC, and that's where I now do the majority of my gaming. I was playing World of Warcraft for many years, and far too often, but my favourite genres have always been scifi and fantasy, usually building games or simulators, and sometimes RPGs and card games. These days my most played games are Elite Dangerous and American Truck Simulator with some time wasters thrown in for a quick fix. I play other games, mostly Sims and Sci-fi. If its cheap or free I've probably played it. If anyone has a special request (especially if its free :) ) I'll give it a shot. Sleep is usually just a word. I do try, and occasionally succeed, to get at least 2 hours each night. Other hobbies include: Watching dubbed anime (I prefer to watch it rather than read it, otherwise I'd buy the manga); Annoying my pets and children; And asking flerfers questions about Australia.

1: Don't get stressed, chill out, relax and (hopefully) have fun 2: Keep the offensive language to a minimum. I do occasionally slip up myself. Usually when I'm driving. 3: I'll talk about ALMOST anything, but my main topics will be related to the game I'm streaming. 4: If you want to have an argument, leave. Only friendly discussions are welcome 5: Keep the political drama, religious bigotry and SJW stuff away. 6: Prejudice is not welcome. I'm an equal opportunity streamer, everyone is welcome, everyone gets treated fairly, if you have a problem with me or someone else in chat, discuss (respectfully), or leave.

I'm extremely proficient at becoming mediocre in games. I don't expect I'll be the best at any one thing, but I've done a bit of everything and I'm happy to help beginners and or returning players. I started streaming because I wanted to help people, specifically my nephews, but anyone who wants to try Elite: Dangerous. I thoroughly enjoy playing this game, and have devoted thousands of hours to playing it and even more time watching others do so. Its never been about the credit balance, its about exploring all aspects of the game, the ships, the stations, the players and the galaxy itself.
