Important Hi, I'm Gabe the new CS CM, AMA!

A little bit about me: I originally joined EdgeGamers in 2011 under the Counter-Strike division. I swapped to the MC division around 2013 until I swapped to TF2 in 2015. In TF2 I became an EC Advisor (present day Manager rank) for 3 months until @Don kidnapped me and I joined Tech. As Tech, I helped put on some of the biggest events in the community's including one of my personal favorites: A Knight of Demomen. More recently I've been an at-large Tech leadership/CM member. After some recent events I decided that I wanted to return and try and take a hands-on approach. So while I know some of you may not know me, you should start to see me pretty frequently on the servers. My goal is to return CS to it's former glory and empower the leadership team to make quick and effective decisions without feeling like they need a rubber stamp.

I don't intend to make any drastic changes, or at least not any changes that @blank_dvth & @Cascsiany don't approve of ;). I ultimately just want to bring back the community feeling that I grew up with

This is truly an AMA, if you want EdgeGamers lore, more personal history, a crazy story about Don or anything else I will do my best to deliver

I'm craving chicken right now. If you were in my position, where would you go to satiate your desires?
 
I don't intend to make any drastic changes, or at least not any changes that @blank_dvth & @Cascsiany don't approve of ;). I ultimately just want to bring back the community feeling that I grew up with
My goal is to return CS to it's former glory and empower the leadership team to make quick and effective decisions without feeling like they need a rubber stamp.
Thank you for stepping up. Excited to see what you do as CM :)

When is the ETA for jb_obama we gotta get that rolling XD
 
On the Original Soundtrack to the first Earthworm Jim, do you prefer 'New Junk City' on the Sega Genesis or the Super Nintendo?

There is only one correct answer, by the way. If you decide incorrectly, you will be banished to the shadow realm with Jimbo and the Sunshine Girls

A little bit about me: I originally joined EdgeGamers in 2011 under the Counter-Strike division. I swapped to the MC division around 2013 until I swapped to TF2 in 2015. In TF2 I became an EC Advisor (present day Manager rank) for 3 months until @Don kidnapped me and I joined Tech. As Tech, I helped put on some of the biggest events in the community's including one of my personal favorites: A Knight of Demomen. More recently I've been an at-large Tech leadership/CM member. After some recent events I decided that I wanted to return and try and take a hands-on approach.
