Caledas here. I am the resident scientist for Unhinged and the only thing I like more then gaming is lists.
What games have you played or like to play?
I have played many games. I go back to the release of NES, and the evolution of gaming. My preference in gaming is MMO (ive played pretty much all of them), RPG, RTS city builder types and squad combat shooters.
What time of day do you game?
Depends on the time of the year but im EST so 7pm to midnight. I get up at 5am from September through June so occasionally I get tired.
Where are you from?
I reside in New York not in the city but close (about an hour north)
What is your occupation?
High school Science teacher/Scientist. I was schooled as an Environmental Scientist and worked in pollution remediation as well as energy technologies. Switched careers to become a teacher and have been doing that ever since.
Any hobbies or passions outside of gaming?
Working out, bike riding, gardening, plastic models, yard work, being a dad (the most difficult and rewarding thing I have done)
What triggers you? Nails on chalkboard? Chewing?
Not giving up my weakness this easily.
Are you brave enough to post RL pics?
Yes, but no feet, all about the ankles.
Kids, pets or pretend friends?
Kids and pets but they don't differ to much. Have to feed, house and keep all of them alive. As long as I keep taking the meds the pretend friends are quiet.
Favorite food?
Just a good old cheeseburger, from that old school joint down the street. Where the waitress have been there forever and basically runs the place and knows exactly what your going to order when you sit down.
Hot takes/opinions
The three greatest foods on the planet are bacon, egg and cheese, and when combined are a gift from the gods. Peanut butter is a very close 4th.
Unique personal challenges that will make us go....awww, yikes, or wtf?
I have walked a long road with bumps and holes, twists and turns. Just have to keep moving forward.
What do you think is missing in gaming currently?
Complete games on release
What does your ideal gaming community look or function like?
Respect - we are all here to play and have a good time, not only for ourselves but we should also actively help others enjoy what time they get to game because we are all here for a little escapism.
How do you feel about meeting up as a group in real life? or what about doing video meets?
Absolutely fine meeting in person or through video. Its fun connecting a face to a character. Have met up with plenty of people I have played games with and consider them great friends.
