Just call me: Newman, or Laxdragon, or just Lax.
My job is to keep the chinchillas that power our custom-built servers fed. I also pretend to know how to code websites. When I get the chance I do graphic design and video editing. I am a lifetime gamer. I've been gaming since my little paws could pick up a joystick. I'm platform agnostic. I will use whatever platform that gets the job done, be it Linux, Mac, or even *gasp* Windows.
