About Us |
|
| |
GeezerGamers is a community.
A community of crusty folks who play games between diaper changes.
A community of gamers in their thirties and above that don’t take themselves too seriously.
Contrary to the many urban myths promulgated about its inception, GeezerGamers did not evolve from a porn-infested message board dedicated to the worship of Devo and the Amiga computer.
It started with a bunch of friends that liked almost above all things shooting each other in the nether regions on Friday nights. All on Xbox Live.
These are the people that put up the time and money to build this site. The folks that will eventually be doing the perp walk as they are hauled off to the slammer for some FCC violation or another.

For a day job, FireMedic41 is a career firefighter/paramedic for a "combination" fire department in Colorado. At night 'Medic has attempted (without success) to be a sword, sniper, newb-combo, rocket-launcher, flamethrower, and needler whore.

A fan of the Colorado Avalanche, Colorado Rockies, and the Denver Broncos; he has taken enough crap, and has learned to ignore most other teams fans (Jester76, MadGod, Blokey, etc...) |

When he's not trying to worm his way onto the Xbox, he works as a software developer for a major printer manufacturer.
