Hello! I am Hinds and I am new here. I hail from the most excellent state of Illinois in the United States. I'll be 25 this year and my current occupation is graduate student. I'm finishing up research for my Masters and then it's off and away to a "big boy job" as an engineer somewhere, probably. I haven't really decided what exactly I want to do with myself yet!
In a way, being stuck on campus doing research leaves me with a healthy amount of disposable time. Gaming is my #1 hobby and I have been at it for the past 20+ years. I enjoy all sorts of stuff, from management games to shooters to grand strategy to simulation. Any game that stretches my mind is of interest to me. Recently I've been making the rounds on several MMOs and playing Rising Storm 2, Vermintide 2, and a little modded Minecraft and Post Scriptum on the side. I'm also part of a European Arma community and play organized Arma 3 weekly.
Outside of games, I'm interested in history, science (not mathematics!), technology, and lots of other things. I enjoy learning in general and I like to read about various things. Most of my reading nowadays is online. However, I did recently purchase both The Bear Goes Over the Mountain and The Other Side of the Mountain. I have an interest in military tactics, operations, and strategy, as well as the organizational, logistical, and technical considerations of military activity. Combat Mission is something of a lightning rod that attracts my attention because it combines so many different things that I am interested in.
Right now I'm making the rounds of the demos since I can't decide which game to start with! Once I make up my mind and get some experience under my belt, I'd love to try out some head-to-head.
Thanks for reading! In advance, I'm pleased to meet you all!
