Well, I was looking at this introduction forum and realized I'd never bothered to formally introduce myself.
I'm John Shandy`. I'm currently a corporate finance major and a .NET developer. I'm also a casual gamer, and I come from an extensive background of different game genres and communities. Thus far I have really enjoyed becoming a part of the Reborn Gamers community, and am quite impressed with success of RG-sponsored servers.
I'm an admin of the Nachos & Juicebox Empires server. For those of you not familiar with Empires, it is a very enthralling mod for the Source engine, consisting of dynamic game play, player-buildable structures, technology tree researching, and an assortment of vehicles. Empires is an FPS/RTS hybrid, meaning that there is a commander who plays the game as an RTS, while his or her subordinates play the game as an FPS. Empires requires a mindset different than that demanded by any other game. It really does require teamwork, but it is addicting and fun - its dynamic game play is what attracts most of its players. If you want to check it out (and I strongly advise you to), visit www.empiresmod.com/ - you only need to own a Valve game that provides you with access to the SDK Base, and you will be able to play. Feel free to join us - the server information is listed on the tracker at the upper-right-hand corner of the BorForums. Additionally, in my signature I have a blog that is useful for new players or players wanting to learn all about commanding & game play. The official mod website has lots of additional resources as well.
If you want to get to know me better, just catch me on the Empires server. I'll be the guy rallying up a rag tag group of subordinates and leading them to a ground breaking upset victory!
I'm John Shandy`. 100% satisfaction guaranteed.
Cheers,
