Articles - mnemonick

I'm an older (and slower) PC gamer- I remember when Quake was a new thing :D Mostly play SP shooters, adventure and RPG (lite) games these days. I enjoy SciFi settings a lot more than fantasy; I'm not big on potions, powers and magic stuff. I predate both the personal computer and cable television - I remember when there were only three (US) broadcast TV networks! On the other hand, these days I can build and setup a PC from scratch, publish a website, mangle script code as needed and do all kinds of other things I'd never even heard of as a kid in the 1970s. And yet - I still own neither a jet-pack nor a flying car. What's up with that?! I freely admit my SciFi nerd-dom (and the vast collection of dog-eared paperbacks that come with it). I do also like to get out of the house on occasion - honest! :)
