benwp 518 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Former Shadowbane Developer (well, since this is about truth, I was a QA guy, QA Manager, and then QA/IT Manager for SB, so is that a "developer"? Beats me.) - I met my wife-to-be in an insane asylum. --- she's named after a donut shop in Chicago where her mother once lived. I caught her by bringing her a donut every day. - I lived in Europe for a couple of years. - Don't let them fool you; Boy Scouts were formed because the British needed scouts for their army, and too many died because they couldn't live off the land, track, hide, etc. I was a Eagle Scout as a boy and later a Recon Scout in a war. - Visited or lived in 13 countries - Worked in the game industry for 10 or 11 years. - Work in IT, but my degree is in Marketing, where I never worked a day in my life (yuk) - Got into IT by sheer accident, but been an IT guy/manager professionally for 16 years - Favorite adult beverage: tequila - Absolutely loved Shadowbane. I put in tons of unpaid time doing things on Test. Anyone want to tell about themselves? doc gonzo, Conspiracy Theorist, shiden86 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkyotrack 4,618 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) I was in the Army for several years. I currently live off disability I get from the VA for a back injury incurred. In the past year alone I have lived in Alabama, Kansas, North Carolina, and Mississippi. Ive been to four continents. I watch M.A.S.H obsessively. I name my son Jean-Luc after Jean-Luc Picard. I also won Shadowbane. Edited January 13, 2015 by checkyotrack benwp 1 You are so incredibly helpful, CYT. I don't know how I ever managed to do anything before we met. I was just bumbling my way through life, all lost-like. Thank you. My blessing cup runneth over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aperion 101 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Shadowbane effectively setup my high school years for failure. mal 1 "Camouflage is the color of fear.. I have no need to hide from my foes..

I put in tons of unpaid time doing things on Test. Anyone want to tell about themselves? That's pretty interesting stuff, Ben! Hmm. I met my fiancé working for him at Circuit City. We're getting married in Austin in 2 months. I have a 2yr old little girl named Elizabeth. She is a Halloween baby. I also lived in Europe for a few years as a little kid. My dad was in the ARMY, but we didn't move around a whole lot. I'm a 911 dispatcher/Paramedic for a private ambulance service that services counties in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. I'm not a huge drinker, but my favorite is Malibu and pineapple juice. I also absolutely loved playing shadowbane. The people I met made it an experience that nothing has compared to. I'm hoping that my favorite people from test will at least all end up on the same server in Crowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aperion 101 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) The name Mal resounds heavily in my memory, although I do not know where I've encountered you, I know for certain we've exchanged words years ago, but for the life of me can't remember where. Also Shadow Mal comes to mind, did you play on Treachery or Test? Edited January 13, 2015 by aperion mal 1 "Camouflage is the color of fear.. I have no need to hide from my foes..

checkyotrack 4,618 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Isn't Test where all the bad players like Hidetade played? dajjal and mal 2 You are so incredibly helpful, CYT.

Aperion 101 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Must've been Test then, I enjoyed myself there for quite awhile after Treachery went down. I just saw your name, and it clicked in the back of my head that I knew you, almost from a past life lol. I was good friends with Takakko Shimitzu if you remember him. Hope to see you around in Crowfall, may we reforge old friendships! Edited January 13, 2015 by aperion mal 1 "Camouflage is the color of fear.. I have no need to hide from my foes..
