1.  Your first name (for real!)
  Tom

2.  Your handle (your name as it is in-game, should also be the title of the thread).
  Anomaly

3.  Your previous handles/nicknames.
  It's almost always been anomaly.  For a brief time in CS 1.6, I was also known as "Don't Fear the Reaper" and "[Kniph] General"

4.  Where you are from (include time zone).
  Born, raised, and currently living in Cleveland, OH, EST5EDT.

5.  How old you are (birthday).
  24.  March 26.

6.  What games you play and how much experience you have at them.
  Like many others, my first online game was Counter-Strike 1.6.  I typically focus on 1-2 (online) games at a time and don't download everything on the planet.  Various online games where I gained proficiency at at one time or another include Counter-Strike 1.6, Natural Selection, HL2DM, TF2, and BC2.

7.  What your hobbies are.
  I'm a complete computer geek, and so I do that both professionally and a fair bit in my free time.  I've been doing TaeKwonDo for about 4 years now, and had one fantastic year of Kali.  I also like pretty much anything that goes "bang", and am an NRA certified Range Safety Officer.

8.  What your profession is.
  I'm currently in graduate school for Computer Science, though I often consult for local school districts on a variety of issues described by many acronyms to stay current, have fun, and earn a little extra cash.

9.  How you found [IAM].
  I first started gaming with the [I AM] Clan community when kMac and FaPHaT/Mercaptan were there back in the day.  I joined [I AM] when kMac brought me in, then left with him to found Abducted.  After that, we went back to [I AM] for a time, then kMac left and eventually I took the helm at [I AM].  Finally, kMac and decided to make [IAM], so we can both say "I made this!".

10.  Any unique skills you have that you'd be willing to help community members with (tech. help/server-saavy, etc.).
  I'm pretty good with most things that have the word "server" in them, and have experience with a variety of computing technologies, so I can help with most tech questions.

11.  Any additional information that you feel like providing (stories about your life, anything!)
  I also like playing chess!  I'm not outstanding at it, but if you wanna have a game, just click the Chess link at the top of the forums.  Catch me in mumble sometime!  Also, [IAM] attackofthemike is my brother IRL!

Peace!

I bet I can beat him in under 40 moves.

I beat him outside once.  However, he embarrassed me on the Chess mod.

Lol, given that the average chess game lasts about 40 moves, if you're going to beat me, you've got a pretty good chance at beating me in under 40 moves.  I'm in no way infallible, kMac has beaten me and IBA nearly did and clearly will sometime, but I would hope that anyone doing so will at least have to work for it.

Haha, what was our game, like 80 moves or something? Probably half of them were us just fucking with each other.

Want to make it interesting? Bet cash on it? How about 15 moves..
