Oh well, I wouldn't mind to shoot H. Lotti's chute

Hes been a gamer since forever. Hell, he named his daughter Zelda.

When she'll need some money, she'll just have to let a pack of lawyers loose and sue him....

Lol deSelys, true true!

I've heard the thing about Broderick and E Van Halen too... VH I doubt, Broderick who knows.  I doubt ANY celebrity would give thier ID so we'll probably never know anyway.

......however I do know Asia Carrera is into Unreal Tourney lol  (do porn stars count?)  She's even got skins (lol) posted on her website.

Good thread - been wondering this off and on for some time.  Although I doubt anyone in the "celebrity" category is doing anything other than reading this post and snickering.  Would be nice if one or two would post.

Ok..I am Alex Lifeson

[Elfenwolf]

I am Elvis Presley, former King and present Anti-Christ.

Here's an odd thought,
Out of the vast number of "celebrities" there is probably roughly, or slightly higher, percentage of them who play online games, as "normal" people.

With the vast number of people most encounter IN online games, the odds of not having run into one of them at one point are quite small.

So what happens when you realize that someone you've been flying with turns out to be *insert celebrities name*?

Holden MaGroin flies under the handle of JoeDirt.

Confession time... I have been reading this name for over a month now, and I just now finally get it...  hehe

[Shane]

Mark McKinney from Boys in the Hall and SNL flew AW3  at least occasionally (and maybe earlier) and showed up at one of the cons a few years ago.  dunno if he flies AH.

I'm Alan Ladd's evil clone.



and if i encountered a celeb  in game and they were a ganging lamer, why i'd call them exactly that!

what about me - i'm bill gates dammit - look@me!!!

[Vulcan]

He definitely flew WBs, he was either in Gryf's squad (The Rogue Gryffons) or possibly the FT's. I'm sure it was rekkof who told me, but it might have been Gryf (I think was flying with Gryf's squad at the time).

I was watching the Science Channel, some show on computer gaming. Anyway, they did an interview with Michael Dorn (Warf) which through screen shots implies that he flew in AirWarrior, and that he is still a flight sim geek. He also happens to be a pilot and the owner of his own T-33.

Any other celebrity dweebs that we know of?

I remember reading somewhere that she has a masters degree. IMDB has this to say:

A member of Mensa with an IQ of 156.

Taught piano in japanese college by 16

Performed as pianist on stage in Carnage Hall while still a teenager. Self taught web master of her own web sites.

She is a member of MENSA, an international organization of about 100,000 highly intelligent people whose IQ's rank among the highest in their respective countries.

Used to attend Rutgers University in Newbrunswick, New Jersey, USA

Sounds geeky enough to me.
