    Ahh, and here arrives the Short-Media Lada Limousine.

    The first person to step out is the illustrious PRIMESUSPECT.

    At 5'6" and 225 lbs, he's not exactly a physical powerhouse, but he sure has the build of a geek! He's looking suave and ready to game in his non-descript khaki pants and a long-sleeved buttondown that could use a good pressing, but he's cracking his knuckles and looks ready to game!

    Right behind him comes the illustrious SHORTY! Now THERE'S a guy who knows how to dress the part! Observe the geeky glasses and the backwards-turned baseball cap! Oh, and the piercings! Only a true fragmeister gets that many piercings.

    Don't let his size fool you! Those arms are just the right length to destroy anyone in a fast-paced FPS.

    Now, the clouds darken and thunder rumbles. Straight out of Scandanavia comes the Swedish Deathbringer - The ominous MACKANZ!

    Despite his bright smile and friendly eyes, his larger frame hides a killer poised to strike. This is a man who knows how to use a rocket launcher! Better bone up on your swedish, cause he's sure to be hurling fifty syllable insults your way as he plows over your dead pixellated corpse!

    Waiting to greet you at the door is the Black Knight himself, PSEUDONYM! Forget the lack of arms, or legs.. Somehow he will manage to defeat you in any game he chooses... Oh, and he is choosing the games, so you'd better be wary.

    And now a man who can probably beat you just by thinking, THRAX!

    You'll notice that he carries no keyboard or mouse with his rig, and that's of no concern, because his vast mental powers will be controlling the game at the code level, giving him a vast advantage over all of us un-evolved beings who still must rely on clumsy nerves and muscles. Bow down!

    Everyone hush! Stand tall, for GENERAL KEEBLER has arrived!

    Make sure you are on best behavior, and don't forget to salute!

    Obviously, with his imperious military credentials, the General will have an utter advantage over all of us civilians.

    Now for a man who needs no introduction! Well, he needs a bit of introduction - if only to teach you how to pronounce his name: "The Smidge"

    That's right folks, one of our resident comedians, THESMJ was one of the mighty forces of team USA in the USA vs UK tournament that was held earlier this year. So keep him away from shorty!

    Arriving from the Distant Carolinas, comes our resident friendly southerner, CLUTCH!

    Despite the fact that he is wearing shorts and a t-shirt in 25 degree weather, he is no fool! He is ready to decimate anyone who stands before his weapons, while smiling all the way!

    And from the hallowed halls of legend comes a visitor from the homeland - a man from the old country, a welcome addition to our gathering.

    Straight from our sister site, Icrontic, comes the main man himself, ARANYIC.

    That's right folks, MR. BILL has stepped onto the short-media red carpet!

    And next up we have a strange face - someone who's never been seen in these parts before. He arrives with Clutch.

    Before he's done, though, he'll leave some of you laying in the dirt.

    Enter EGOSHOWCASE

    What's this? A NEW limo pulls up. It's the diplomatic kind - all black, with bulletproof glass and a police escort.

    Who could it be?

    Ah! The door opens, and several.... playboy bunnies come out? Who are THESE girls?

    Oh wait! The President of WuGgaRoO Nation has arrived! The one and only WUGGAROO himself!

    Right this way, Mr. President....

    Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!

    Most of you may not know him, but he holds the keys to the server that you all lovingly while away your hours on. When something goes wrong with the site, the man who is called is the dark, tragic, -TK.

    (You can imagine that he gets called a lot)

    But despite his sparseness in these parts, he is a master of the saber and the force grip - so do not get near this man when playing jedi knight.

    Next up, the man with the obscure avatars and location references.

    MCBAIN arrives from nearby Dearborn, Michigan to lay the smack down on anyone who dares to challenge him.

    A cold wind starts blowing! If it didn't seem impossible, I'd say even more snow just fell! Wait! From the far flung reaches of the frozen north comes another international traveller... He appears to be wearing a sealskin parka and reindeer boots! Is that a spear he's carrying?

    Bust out the whale blubber, eh?! TBONZ has arrived!

    Next up, we have a true thug, a man who's been hardened not only by life, but by the tough streets that he calls home. Hailing from the homeland of American Culture, New York City, comes the site code god himself, TD_ISLES.

    Yet another limo pulls up.

    This one is dark blue... With a big "i" painted on the side.

    Out steps a man whose name is no secret to any of you. Our brother in arms. Our compadre. He is the Prime Minister of our #1 friend and ally in the sordid world of tech sites - CITRIXMETA from icrontic!

    The trumpet fanfare blows.. What is that? The clippity-clop of .... hooves?

    A white horse? Who shows up to a LAN party on a white horse?

    Someone who has a flair for the eccentric - someone who knows how to make a dramatic entrance. Someone who will blast the measly hordes to pieces with his Flak Cannon, the mighty QCH2002!

    Oh wait! The icrontic limo isn't empty yet! There's someone else coming out!

    He's wearing a badge that says "IC3"

    He's one of the elite! A host of an SMx rig! Let's hope his ability to frag is as good as his ability to fold! SEPTIMUS steps onto the carpet!

    Now comes a man who knows dark deep secrets about primesuspect. A man who has known primesuspect since the tender age of 3.

    A man who, if you turn your back, will ERASE YOUR SAVE GAMES and CHEAT BY ANY MEANS to get ahead.

    That man is the electronics genius, MICROMAN

    As if in an old western town, there is quiet. A dusty breeze is blowing. A tumbleweed blows by. You hear the familiar crow call. A stranger has come to town. A stranger packing an arsenal. A stranger who may very well be the end of your gaming success.

    This mystery man?

    SICARIUS is his name. And just maybe, he'll be the one to walk away with the ultimate gamer crown.

    But wait! Across the corral, from a different town, comes another stranger! A man with an unpronounceable name. Will he challenge Sicarius to a duel? Who will win?

    Perhaps it will be CRADSK8EN.. We shall see.....

    Hey! Somebody just threw something at the paparazzi! They must have taken one too many pictures...

    Must be MR_BOJINGLES3264...

    If there was a queen of gamers, it may very well be this woman...

    Mind your manners, wear deodorant, bathe, and most of all, BEHAVE yourselves gentlemen, because there is a LADY in the house:

    JLUNAR steps onto the red carpet! Clear the way, gents! This lady's gonna kick your butts!

    You call yourselves geeks, but here comes a man whose generation INVENTED the concept. When you kids were crawling around in diapers, this dude was programming machines as big as your house with punch cards.

    The original geek, AGEEK has arrived!
