Suburbanjoe = Team Binky

Soon I shall begin posting with our hella cool new logo at XBLF, so for those of you who come from there, make no mistake, the Bink is in the building.

So, why such a big...suit? Sorry, random Talking Heads reference. I mean, why the two names? Well, for a while I had my own site called suburbanjoe.org that was relatively prosperous in that no one knew who I was and I had to pay family to visit it. That folded due to accounting improprieties and my small stint in jail for "spending time" with an underage chinchilla. It was then, when my spirits were at their lowest that I bought an Xbox. Maybe it was the liquor, maybe it was the lonliness, maybe it was the need to play with a controller the size of my head.

Once I had an Xbox and then got broadband, Live was just a matter of time. Some lout had already claimed the mantle of suburbanjoe, and with the negative stigma attached to the name, I decided that I needed something new. Thus, I decided to use the name that had stricken fear in the hearts of 3rd World dictators who had run afoul of the CIA, the feared assassin, Team Binky. Confident that most deposed dictators don't have access to high speed internet, and if they did, wouldn't be gaming from 7PM - 8PM EST, I took back the name that I had used so well in the early 70's. 1870's that is. It is with this name that I battle with fellow Live gamers, offering myself as a sacrifice to pad their stats and make them feel better about themselves. You haven't gamed until you've killed Team Binky, as everyone seems to do. A lot.

So, in short, he is I and I am him, slim with the tilted brim on 20 inch rims.
