I'm always interested in hearing other's stories and what they're working on. Anyone care to share?

I've been a professional software engineer in the game industry for 22 years now. I started off in school at first on Apple computers with Basic, then when I got a graphing calculator in school I started writing tools for school work and games on it all the time. After college, I wasn't sure what sort of software I wanted to work on (dot-com era), but one of my good friends talked me into applying to some game companies. I've been in a bunch of different companies since then but right now I'm working on online systems for one of the biggest online games.
