Introducing myself.... (warning nudity)

Time for my first post on GG (not including hacking Ari's account), woohoo!
Hi, I'm Jon. I work at BrokeAss Games with Ari, Rex (aka teh Rexican) and Mo. I have shoulder-surfed Ari for about two years and have often wanted to post comments, but never made an account. I enjoy reading these blogs/forums as part of my daily routine and look forward to contributing at some level.
As for background on myself, little is known and it's closely guarded. I met Ari, the lead dev of Ruin Online and creator of the BrokeAss vision, when we were teenagers, about 15 years ago. Feels like 30. He, Mo and I met in high school in Northern California. D&D, paintball, martial arts, hacking, and home-medicating - the classic skills chicks dig; we embraced it all. So now we're making an indie MMO (about 2yrs deep), its fun.
Recently, Rex has come aboard and has been a major asset! (Did he just say asshat?) He's teaching me alot of the classic character design rules that I missed, since I learned on the mean streets. We spend most of our time working on our characters which are available as a drag and drop BVH/mocap character solution for Torque, and featured in Ruin Online.
The four of us head off the BAG team and work with various web-devs from our Ruin Online Test community, which is about 5000 members (some of which might be porn-spam bots). Our mirror site (mmosite.com) shows nearly 4000 downloads of our BETA4 client, so things are starting to pick up, we're getting a lot of testers and a lot of good volunteer offers. Thanks guys!
I look forward to meeting some new contacts here at GG, so drop me a line if you like to walk on the beach and talk about pixels.
