About Me

I am a very big fan of sci-fi movies, books and especially games. My favorite TV series are BattleStar Galactica, and the early version of Star Trek with Shatner and Nimoy. I am also a very avid watcher of Game of Thrones, Vikings (on History Channel) and recently finished The Last Kingdom and the Black Sails series, both of which I binge watched. Couldn't help myself. My all time favorite movies of course are Star Wars!!

One of my favorite authors is Blake Crouch. He wrote Wayward Pines and just released Dark Matter. Check out Dark Matter... it's one of the best sci fi books I have read in years. Literally could not put it down!!  I also have read a lot of Neal Stevenson and I really enjoyed 'Ready Player One', by Ernest Cline.  Check that one out as well.

My favorite computer mmorpg game of all time is Star Wars Galaxies where I was a Droid Engineer. I really miss that one. I have also spent a fair amount of time in Asherons Call, Anarchy Online (another sci-fi favorite) and also SecondLife where I mess around a bit with scripting and building.

I started a software company a few years back and my gaming was put on hold for the most part but I did manage to put in a few hours to checkout games like Eve Online, Wow and the Elder Scroll games. I am currently involved in some early augmented reality development and have a great interest in both AR and MR. I think it (MR) will be the game changer (in more ways than one) in the very near future.  I closely follow the product development of Rony Abovitz (the CEO of Magic Leap).

Like most of you I'm sure... my time is valuable and limited.  I prefer not to run quests for an NPC dumbass who wants me to collect crap for no good reason. I want to be part of a world where I can 'live' and have my actions impact the world.

 

Lately my time has been spent with cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.  It would be interesting to see DU utilize blockchain.

I'm very laid back in my gaming and usually joking a lot. I really don't care too much if my character develops... or levels or gets the uber club to wack you with. I'm more about the experience of living in a virtual space with other players, making friends (and a few enemies), working on shared goals such as the development of a space station, or city or to help forge a new political party or negotiate alliances. The underlying tech that this game is utilizing is what interests me a great deal.  I love online gaming.   :)

I'm backing DU for several reasons.  The creators seem to be making very bold and smart decisions.  JC has put together a very impressive group. Also, they are making the game I wanted to play since the early SWG days.  It's certainly not a sure thing... but it will be fun to be a part of this regardless if it materializes.  This is the one I am taking my chances on.

 

Thank you for reading my profile,

 

Hunter
