This man is wanted by several different international crime-fighting agencies.  He is dangerous, insane, and has been known to carry an ipod and psp.  Shoot on sight.  For details on how to attain your reward for the capture of this individual, hit the jump!


 

 

 

 

 


 

 

Bitmobber: Lance Darnell

Profession: Lowly Data Entry Dude
Local: London, Ontario, Canada
Twitter: The_Lancer
Live: Sparkley Puppy
PSN : BITMOB-Lance
Three adjectives to describe yourself: Overworked, Underpaid, Eccentric 

What do you like best about BITMOB?: I can read stuff from the ex-EGM Dudes.  Then read some blogs from smart and savvy Gamers, and then write something of my own and it is actually put up in the same space! 

 

Okay, so that is the information from the Bitmobber post.  And now I would like to take inspiration from James DeRosa and Evan Killham's posts and go into third-person mode.

The Lancer, as he is called by his friends, currently resides in the town of his birth: London, Ontario:

Digital Extremes works out of  the glass building to the left of  center of this picture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Lancer has a degree in Ancient History and Religions, but has yet to find any career that allows him to use all of the useless  knowledge he has required.

Instead The Lancer works as a Deaccessioner.  Which means that he takes  artifacts and records that  were once part of a  collection and removes them from that collection.  This requires a lot of data entry and paperwork, and is without a doubt the most boring job in the history of humankind.  The Lancer feels that this job is making him lose his fragile little mind, but he gets to work from home a lot, so it all evens out.

But The Lancer does need his head examined:


Besides video games, which obviously The Lancer really likes, he also has a fascination with Elephant genitalia:


And The Lancer really likes to travel:

This is The Lancer in  Quebec City during  its  400th Anniversary  Celebration.

When The Lancer is not playing video games, reading articles on Bitmob or working, he likes to make mini-documentaries on strange stuff, such as UFOs:


The Lancer could not be happier about being a small part of Bitmob, and would gladly take a bullet for any of his fellow Bitmobbers - just don't ask him to!

So we call you "the Lancer" now? Maybe your job at least pays well?

I said that only my friends call me The Lancer, so of course!!! :) The job pays fairly well, I guess....

Great post. I really enjoyed your mini-doc. The paranormal is one of my passions as well. I am a big Coast to Coast AM fan as well. Look forward to part II.

Look on the bright side. 1. Despite its uselessness, at least your degree is in something pretty rad. 2. As long as you are purposefully vague, telling a lady you are deaccessioner would probably sound pretty impressive. Like secret agent or something.

I've been meaning to do a recent meet the mob of me, but I want to hold off till I can get some recent pictures of me... and I don't have a camera. So, how do you end up in data entry with a degree like that? No offense, just wonderin'.
Lance_darnell
August 15, 2009
@James - :D The Deaccessioner!!! That actually does sound good. @Jazz - I work for the government and I got the contract due to my degree. And the stuff I am working with is all historical records. And get a camera! ;)

That's crazy, Lance! We studied similar subjects. My major was History, and one of my minors was Religious Studies.
Lance_darnell
August 15, 2009
@Brian - Freaky!!! Perhaps that similarity is due to us playing the same games as kids!!! And I am still waiting for [i]YOUR[/i] Meet the Mob post! ;)

Elephant genitalia, eh? Well, you learn something new every day. Now Meet the Mob is gaining momentum, all these new profiles are putting mine to shame.

[quote]putting mine to shame[/quote] I was going to put up a pic of my game collection, but after seeing James DeRosa's, I came down with a bout of "Game Closet Envy"..... ;)

Lance, the symbol in the sky on the right hand side of that youtube video you posted looks suspiciously like the symbol for Xbox. Did Bill Gates finally get enough money to build a time machine just to go back and mess with unsuspecting Germans?

Game closet evny... I like that!
Lance_darnell
August 16, 2009
@Jay - Don't write that stuff down! If Gates sees this that he may try and get you out of the way so no one else figures out his master plan! @James - I thought you would :D

@Cosmo - You definitely have to do something like this. James DeRosa started it all: [url]http://bitmob.com/index.php/mobfeed/flipping-your-wig-with-the-bigwigs-meet-the-mob-james-derosa.html[/url]

I'm disappointed that there's no picture of Hornballs in your Meet the Mob profile. After all, you made the word -- you should provide a visual example.
Lance_darnell
August 22, 2009
@Jason - I thought Michael made the word up, but after a google search it seems that I was the only one who didn't know about it...... I will find a pic though! ;D

I present an assortment of HORNBALLS!!! [img]http://img.alibaba.com/photo/201349301/Football_Horn_ball_horn_plastic_horn_party_horn_football_whistle.summ.jpg[/img] What did you think I meant? You Hornball!

@Lance- Hey Lance, could I have your email? I have some confidential information I need to share. It just might involve my plans for world domination. Or if you don't want to list it here. Check my Meet The Mob which has my email. Actually, this is about an article, but it's important.
