Hoping on the bandwagon here...
Anyway, my name is Ben and I am a proud staff member on one of the best video game sites on the Web. My job on the staff is as Hardware Contributor, although I spend as much time on the games database as I do the hardware database. My main specialties are pre-SNES systems and Japanese systems. I am specifically interested in the Atari 7800, NES/Famicom, Sega Master System and the TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine. I joined the site on August 20, 2004, and became a staff member on July 7, 2007. In between that time I was essentially inactive on the site, but then I noticed how incomplete the database was and I decided to something about it. Not long afterwards, I applied for a position on the staff and got my current position as Hardware Contributor.
I am currently a college student in my second year and I plan to major in history. I'm currently trying to wrap my GE (general education) courses before I begin working on my major, and afterwards I might transfer to SJSU to get my BS. I am currently unemployed, and I haven't had luck finding a job yet. Aside from playing video games and going to college, I am a huge music fan and I also enjoy the occasional anime.
I've been collecting for about as long as I can remember, starting back when I was about 7 years old. During that time, I discovered the wonders of Funcoland and started collecting for the NES and Game Boy. A few years later, I began collecting for the Sega Master System and Genesis, and by 2003 I was into the Atari 2600. Just recently I've been into collecting for import systems, mainly the Famicom, Sega Mark III and PC Engine.

Well, Dave did the first one, so I guess I'll do one too.
My name is Mike, I believe I am the newest Staff Member on this wonderful slice of Internet heaven. I joined the site on August 19, 2006 after I stumbled onto it through a series of recommendations. I immediately started loving scanning images and eventually started to enjoy filling in missing info. I knew I wanted to become a permanent part of this site right away. Earlier this year, I started a little blog called the Treasure Hunt Chronicles, mainly as just a way to keep track of when I bought stuff and the circumstances I bought them. It turned out to be very successful and I was asked to join the staff on July 22, 2008 at 1:09 PM, by 6:30 that afternoon, one of my dreams had come true. I was to be a blog writer, something I had never, ever thought I would do.
Well, that's quite the history on me and RFG, but RFG isn't my entire life, just 90% of it.
I am going to school for Environmental Studies and am in my 3rd year. My dream job would be to get into Wildlife research or management, but really as long as I get to work outdoors, I will be content.
I also love to hunt, I shot my first deer within an hour of my very first time ever hunting. It was a smaller doe, but she went down quick and painless and that's what is important in my book. She was also damn tasty.
I guess you could call me a collector in general, as I don't just collect games. I think it must be genetic as my dad, his brother, his aunt, and my grandmother are all major pack rats. Some people think it is weird, but no one ever has a problem borrowing something from them. But, I try to only collect useful or potentially valuable items. I used to collect records, I've got a few hundred but I've quit buying them simply because I have no room for more. So, games have become my main focus.

I’ve seen this on another site, and I thought it could be fun. Basically, this little feature will be a “learn about the people behind RF Generation”, provided I can convince other staff members to do it. Basically, there are a bunch of standard questions, and if you want a question answered, ask it. Provided it isn’t perverse, I’ll answer it. Let me start off my introducing what I do here, and you can find out all you want to know about me after the jump.
Well, my name is David. I happen to be the Site Director of RF Generation. Coupled with the rest of the directorship, we are responsible for the well being of the site and its continued operation. I tend to deal with the big picture on things, and make sure that the site overall is always moving in the right direction. I try, I really do. In addition to being the Site Director, I do a lot of other things. I am also the PHP programmer, and I’ve coded every file that ends in .php that is not the forum. That makes me responsible for things like the submissions system, staff pages, and blogs, amongst many, many other things. I also like to write for the blog, when I have the time. Oh and yeah, I designed the current layout of the site. I registered here way back at the end of June in 2004, and look where I am now. If you told me back then that I’d be the Site Director, I would have laughed at you, but… it’s strange and sad how I ended up in the position I take here today.
