Get to know your Mods!!

[forefront]

This thread is for the mods to post their intro stuff. I mean, we're obviously all super cool, and you want to know about us right?

Anyway, I'll start, and the rest of you mods, you can edit my post and put your own info in it so it'll be on the first page, or just add your own post or whatever.

Name: Eli (I'm a first name type of person. Don't like going by my GT.)
Age: 23
Games: Halo, SSF4, Final Fantasy, anything that brings back good memories
About me: I'm a former Marine, currently attending Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville. I live near St. Louis, and love it here. I will be attending all the MLG events this year, and running LANs in my hotel room so come join me if you're there. I've been engaged twice and it never worked out, so I'm just your average sexy, single, young man. (Hit me up ladies.);)
How I became a mod: I wrote an article and posted it in the forums, very near the beginning of them. It was titled 'The Rundown', and it chronicled TLN's short journey from Ustream to an MLG sub-community. Mr. P seemed to like my writing, and I was asked to write articles for the site. As you might be able to tell, that didn't pan out, but I was noted as a good contributor and active member. I guess that's how it happened.

About Me: I am a former university student, now i am a Web Developer for a charity based in the UK. I studied Computer Games Design at university and i quickly realized that wasn't an industry that i wanted to get into. So i took an easy life of a Web Designer. I am a keen Paintballer and LARPer(I am aware of the connotations of that, but screw it. I love hitting people with swords and getting drunk with people while i wear armor.) So that is me in a nutshell, Nerdy Web Designer who works for a charity.
How i became a mod: What can i say? I write an awesome CV =D

Dressing up and hitting people with foam swords while drunk does it get better?

I wish more universities offered Web Development as a major :(. I'm stuck taking Computer Science, but would rather have a more focused program.
