About Me

Hmmmm what to say........I'm married to a wonderful woman that I fell in love with at first sight, started going out a week later, and got engaged 2 days after we started dating. I have 2 tornadoes of rampant destruction called kids, I'm a gamer geek, and a role player. Been known as Xilshale and as Rhendor on Everquest (MT and EMarr servers) for far far too long, kicked the evercrack habit and probably not going back to it (despite the temptation of a classic server coming out and being "not pressured" by a friend to go back :P).........almost 6 years playing that damned game, time to get back to real role playing games. (second generation Roleplayer, it's an addiction that makes up part of who I am, like my addiction to cafiene)I tend to be brutally honest, if I think you're not worth my time you know it, or if you really irritate me I don't hesitate to make damn sure you are aware of it. I'm vindictive, vengeful and stubborn as hell. I tend to keep my aquantances few, either you're a close friend or I'm usually indifferent, just the way I am.I took a few years off roleplaying, something about being burned out very very badly after running a 40+ person Vampire the Masquerade LARP game and dealing with a dumbass co-ordinator who was supposed to manage the games' resources failing to let us know we were about to loose our game site til the week before we lost it (and a few die hard retards who mess plots up just for the fun of it /shrug). The new ruleset released by White Wolf games has, however, sparked the interest in me to roleplay again.Currently I'm a stay at home dad, was basically solely responsible for the running of a call center working R&D for a company that was making VoIP dialers for call centers for awhile, I was worth more than was being paid, they wanted to pay less, found someone who'd do the job without the raise so I'm not there anymore......no big loss, the job sucked, and now the R&D department is gone due to mismanagement :P

My Interests

Role Playing, dabbling in web and graphic design, drinking coffee (is 4 pots of coffee a day too much??)

I'd like to meet:

more WoD gamers in the Sudbury area, Here's my new pet project , I'm thinking of starting a NWoD larp in Sudbury, but would like to know the level of interest before I go and locate a site for the game and deal with the other hassles involved. would also like to get in touch with some ppl from highschool, see who's dead, too stoned to walk, disappeared from the face of the planet, etc.

Music:

AFI, Avenged Sevenfold, Drowning Pool, Cruxshadows, Bella Morte, GOB, Type O Negative, New York Dolls, 16 volt, Voltaire, Seether, Skid Row, Iron Maiden, NiN, the Mahones, a bunch of other stuff slipping my mind atm. Oh, and if you're a band looking to get added to my friend's list here for more promotion (and there's nothing wrong with taking free promo space where ya can get it that's for sure), if I think your music sucks, I'll deny, if it's decent I'll add ya.

Movies:

Resevoir Dogs, Queen of the Damned, John Carpenter's Vampires (good for a laugh, lots of WoD influence/inside jokes), Macross, Shaun of the Dead, Bubba HoTep (if you haven't seen this movie SEE IT)

Television:

much loud, Family Guy, forced to watch too much reality tv when the wife's home.

Books:

alot
as far as comic books, Gloomcookie, JTHM, Squee, I Feel Sick, Nightmares and Faerietales.

Heroes:

my wife for putting up with me. My kids for reminding me there's still good and hope in the world at times.

My Blog

Damn the MMO industry

    Ok, new addiction.  Yup, definately not going back to the utter crappiness of WoW, and if I go back to EQ it'll only be on station access so I can see who's still around. ...
