I dabble.

Darwinian and I are roughly the same level.

But I rule at Thud.

Define 'good'. I've loved to play in the past, haven't played for a long time.

Thud look interesting.. must give that a shot.

I suck, haven't played it much, but I love it. I just don't play it because there's other things I love more. Lol. If I wasn't doing them I'd do chess. I'd need the time to play regularly though, I hate being a half-assed gamer (I've spent too many years of my life being highly committed, not taking games seriously is really dull for me now).

My dad taught me to play when I was 6. Maybe I should have capitalized on that and played regularly from then on, I might have been really good at it by now lol.

I've been playing it a lot more, recently. Well, on the computer, at least. Not sure why but I suddenly had the desire to play it haha

You should know the state of how well i play the game by the last time i pwned you, Theblindferrengie...

But if you once again doubt my abilities: I will deny no challenge Dodgy

I must warn you though... I have only gotten better over the summer Wink

I used to play chess a lot at my local library with this really nice man who gave me my first computer from the discards at his daughter's work.


I sucked at chess though.
