Greetings space travelers

Hello one and all. I am Kaelus and I believe I have found one of my new favorite sites. I cannot believe as long as I have used the Internet, that I haven't seen this site before. Anyhow, despite my lack of attention to this subject I hold near and dear to my heart, I have found it at last. I'm going through so many posts as I'm a gamer from way back. Like Star Flight 1 on my 386 or Tradewars on my friends 286 for that matter 
. I remember I bought Master of Orion on CD before I had an optical drive it was the longest 8 months of my life before I could finally sample its glory! I thought I had played nearly every space type game that exists, I appear to be wrong however. In the past few weeks I have dug and dug and dug with my Google-fu and have found so many games. Many times Google brought me to this site and so rather than using the mighty engine as a middle-man I decided it was easier to trawl the boards looking for treats. I tend towards lurking but I'm attempting to force myself to be more of an active community member in the sites I exist in. This community seems very friendly and definitely my style of people so we'll see how I fit in. My gaming interests tend to be quite varied I like to say i've played everything, though I suppose I have in a way. I have beta tested hundreds of games including big name titles such as all the Diablo and expansions, Starcraft, and various other big name titles. I have beta tested I would say 70-80% of a the MMO market including MMUD, Realm, and Meridian 59. So I guess you can say I've "been there done that". I don't just dig space titles though, but they do give me a special thrill that few other games manage (especially in this day and age.) I recently had an epiphany, which is excellent because I thought that I was getting bored with games (My main passion in life.) However, after much contemplation and consideration I have determined that big name companies, AAA games and the like have a fatal flaw. The developers haven't included fun in the game for some time now and so much interest swept to "Indies" and I have found an amazing world. I love combination of retro themed with modern game design concepts. It's really an amazing thing to see some of these games do so well and for the trend to continue.Well, I have used enough of your time with my ramblings thank you for the amazing contributions this site has and I look forward to seeing what else it offers.
