Jahdoh Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Hi, My name is Mark. My IGN for Warframe is Jahdoh. I've been here over a year playing over 900 hours in game so far. I consider myself very passionate about Warframe and appreciate what and how it's helped me get through challenging times. I'm a retired SGT from the United States Marine Corps. I served from 1976 to 1984 when I was retired from a spinal cord injury (while I am service connected, my injury was not combat related). I've lived as a quadriplegic for 30+ years now and use gaming as one of the many tools to keep my mind and body working the best it can. I must use a controller as I don't have the full dexterity to use keyboard and mouse. I do play the PC version. I'd like to thank the developers of the game for including controller support for this game. So many games over the years I've wanted to play but can not only because they didn't support controller. I'm in the half century club at 54. I have 4 boys, 4 step children and 11 grand children. We all love gaming. I have not previously been monitoring the Warframe community forums. I decided to take a short read today and see what the community has been doing. I'm not a big fan of community forums because of the endless drama that usually accompanies them. It's not my age either. I just think time can better be spent in game. I'll try to participate a little more this year. I like the direction Warframe is going. The whole package. Game immersion is a must with me. I like being able to login every day, strap on my Tenno of choice and leave the real life chair I exist in. While In Warframe, I'm a bad &#! with a gun again. Just like I was years ago in the Marines. Thanks for that. That's my introduction. Thanks for reading. -Mark (Jahdoh) SGT, USMC, Retired Disabled Veteran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady_Khaos Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Thank you Sergeant. It's awesome to think that Warframe speaks to servicemen at all ages: myself at 20 and early in my enlistment, and you at 54. If I were the developers I would be proud and honored that the game lets you feel so alive. But since I'm not, I'll take your statements to heart, because sometimes we play so much that we forget the reason why we play: to feel like a badass, to feel the exhilaration.

------ArtOfViolence----- Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Thanks for your sacrifice for our country, Mark. Welcome to the forums, enjoy your stay.

Phobose Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) -snip- Welcome to the forums Mark! I do agree that the forums can be a bit dramatic and threads can get derailed if the topic is controversial. But all in all you can find useful information and participate in helping the Warframe team by giving feedback and reporting bugs aswell as aid/suggestions from fellow tenno. I also salute your service to the USMC, I have friends in both the Army and Marine Corps. Edited March 28, 2014 by Phobose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That brought a tear to my eye. It makes me remember why I play this game, and my dream to one day be in the same position as Steve, Scott and the other Coders, to make something that brings us out of our everyday life, to feel like a badass.

xethier Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Welcome to the Forums, Jahdoh! You'll find that this community is far better than most, although we do have our fair share of occasional drama fits. The larger community for Warframe seems far more supportive of our beloved game than most. Glad to have you with us! ~Xethier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattonsguy Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) My father is currently active in the air force and working in the pentagon.

I hope someday I will get the chance to do a mission with you sometime. +5 faith in humanity thanks to you.
