Hi guys! My name’s Kate Farrow (girl on the right) and I’m the new Community Manager at Launch Media Network. I’ll be working on the GameSkinny and Gamer Launch sites. You’ll see me around the forums, social media, and support, so drop me a line! Don’t be shy!
I’ve been playing video games since Super Mario World (Super Nintendo). The first console that I bought with my own money was the Sega Genesis, and I played Jurassic Park: The Lost World, Primal Rage, and some majorly pixelated racing game where your car would explode if you were on the grass for too long. My parents’ #1 form of discipline was “confiscating” my video games when I would misbehave. Before the days of save points, my best friend and I would stay up WAY past bedtime on weekends playing games with the lights off and the volume down so we wouldn’t wake my mom. If we heard her coming, we’d turn off the TV but leave the game system on and pretend to be asleep. When the coast was clear, it was back to gaming.
