Bitmob

I have to apologize for something: You probably have no idea who I am. And here at Bitmob, that simply won't do.

See, I've been here for almost a year, and I still haven't gotten around to writing a Meet the Mob post. It's high time that I did so. And I thought maybe you'd like to join me.

What is a Meet the Mob post, you ask? Simple -- it's a place to tell us who you are, both personally and as a gamer. Where do you come from? What are your favorite titles? What do you like to do outside of gaming? Cake or pie? Aliens or Blade Runner? Whatever you want to share is cool with us.

Whether you're a consistent community writer, a new site member, or a long-time lurker, we want to hear from you. Who knows -- you might even find some new Xbox Live or Steam friends or a fellow Bitmobber with an inexplicable love for the Little Nemo game on NES. Wait...that's me. But you didn't know that about me, did you? That's what Meet the Mob is for!

If you want examples, some of our other staff members have written their own introductions (and to those that haven't, myself included -- we need to!):

Be sure to tag your post with "Meet the Mob" when you write it. And if you've already done yours, feel free to link to it in the comments below. Soon we'll all be one big, happy Bitmob family. (I call dibs on the "creepy uncle" role.)

Update: As promised, here's my post. Where's yours?

Yup, I'm one of those who loves Little Nemo on the NES.

This sounds interesting, expect my own post in the next couple of days.

I'm Chase Koeneke, and I approve of this message.

Knew you would. You were the inspiration for it. You and James DeRosa, who invented the idea of Meet the Mob in the first place.

As do I. Meet The Mob is my favourite Bitmob feature.

Ever since I first read a Meet the Mob post, I always wanted to write one. I guess I'll get writing this week.

I kind of want to write a new one. So much has changed in the last two years! Well, actually, not much has really happened since then.

Yeah...mine is horribly out of date, too.

I always wanted to know more about my fellow staffers. Now I know too much.

I just read Mike's, that was pretty epic. I've been here since Sore thumbs, and I still haven't written a Meet the Mob. Maybe someday...

Sure,  I'll write one.  Always loved this site and community and I need some more xbox live friends to play more obscure games.

My epic tale of woe is up.

Layton, if you're the creepy uncle, can I be the deformed, half-aborted lump of hairy flesh chained to the furnace in the basement?

I finally posted my introduction.

I want to redo mine, too, even though I created this bullshit. All my picture links are broken since I let my old website lapse (into the depths of Internet/Squarespace hell), and though my grammar is *acceptable* in my original post, I've learned way more about how to write well since I joined the staff.

Actually, yeah...I'd like to rewrite it (but I won't 'cause I like the archival nature of the original). Maybe I'll do a new one sometime -- a part two or something.
