My Favorite Game, PlanetSide.

Alright, so I am a long time player of the original PlanetSide (http://planetside.station.sony.com/) and am beyond excited for PlanetSide 2!!!  (http://planetside2.com/)  As a New Conglomerate soldier, I was originally frustrated with the extent of Terran Republic propaganda coming out of SOE's front door.  I have to say though, now that NC have gotten their foot out and made themselves known I can say I am proud to be one.  Originally I was attracted to idea of a Freedom Fighter, I still am.  However NC has it's dark side like most organizations.  There are a lot of businessmen (and women) backing the NC that are more interested in money and separation of Government and Business than in individual freedoms (which they are interested in because their workers want it).  Guerrilla Warfare is my preferred tactical approach to combat in games, so I naturally feel like part of the NC.

Freedom.  A privileged we take all to lightly.  NC for life!

The original PlanetSide is a big part of my interest in the game industry.  Having played for nearly eight years, it is by a long shot the game I have invested most of my gaming career in.  I lead an outfit called Darkfire Company and they are the best bunch of players I have ever met.  Many of them have become life-long friends and we are more like a family than I thought was possible through games.  The bond between us all is part of why I can't wait to be a part of developing games like PlanetSide!
