Hello from SAM and AMD

Hello everyone,

My name is Sam (a.k.a. Warsam71), AMD’s newest Community Manager helping with everything enthusiast: Gaming, APUs, GPUs, CPUs, events and much more…

About me:

I’ve been in the gaming industry for more than a decade, where I have worked on numerous titles including Tomb Raider, Hitman Contracts, Just Cause, 25 To Life, Age of Conan, Alice Madness Returns and Rift to name a few (phew), and currently playing in the open beta of World of Warplanes by Wargaming.net. My first console was the Atari 2600, followed by the Commodore 32 and 64, Intellivision, all the PlayStations and X-Boxes…you get the idea.

On the PC front - I started with an 80286 processor based PC where I played a golf game on a monochrome screen, and got my first taste of the “pre-internet era” via BBSes, remember? From there I went through every processor type and played hundreds of FPS and Action Games (i.e. from Wolfenstein 3D to every COD).

I’m gonna be the guy behind “^ST” on the @AMDGaming Twitter handle, and you can also follow me @Samshaw71.

I’m here to help you in any way I can guys. So, feel free to message me with any thoughts, comments, issues and ideas you may have. I will be reading threads, participating and asking you lots of questions!

Sam

Send me a private message if you have any AMD related questions, issues, and/or ideas :rolleyes:

Hello and welcome to the enrichment center. -zzt-

*cough*

Sorry about that. Welcome Sam, its nice to see AMD reaching out into the community. Out of curiosity, could you post your current rig (or rigs if applicable)? It's time for a litmus test. :P

Hi Sam. You might want to contact the Hexus staff (bottom of this page: http://forums.hexus.net/showgroups.php) to see about getting an official rep badge/handle so we don't mistake you for the rabble.

Welcome to HEXUS Sam. Someone will get with you soon to sort out your status as an official rep on the boards.

Just a warning PM's are currently disabled on your account as is standard for new members see; http://forums.hexus.net/welcome-hexu...r-rewards.html Once your rep status is sorted you won't need to worry about that though. :)

Welcome Sam! :D

Welcome to the madhou-

...I mean Welcome to HEXUS :D

Nice to have you with us. Will you be looking at posting updates about what AMD are currently doing, such as with the Frame Pacing issues etc..., posting a blog or linking to a blog to help us keep in touch with what AMD have coming up (NDA news excepted of course)?

Hello Sam and welcome to heXus!!!

Personally am looking forward to your next gen of GFX cards. One can never have *too* much AMD POWAAA.

Butuz

Welcome to the forum :) Great to see an AMD rep here.

Welcome Warsam71.

Forgive me for being a skeptic, though. The opening post has been pasted verbatim to a dozen forums in the last 14 hours, but nothing has been made available to verify the poster actually is who he says he is. Perhaps a listing on an official AMD website could clear that up?

Hexus guys will validate I guess :)

I hope so, if not I want Ferrari rep ;)

Welcome!

nice to see amd in the wild .. now let slip all the juicy gossip ... lol

Hi Sam well come,

I am great fan of Tomb Raider and that is my all time favorite game. I read some where that Square Enix is creating its sequal. waiting for the launch that game

Thank you all for the warm welcome.

I am real :)

I just joined AMD a couple of weeks ago and just wanted to say hello and introduce myself.

I'll work with Chuckskull to validate my status as a rep, and will follow the link to get me a badge/handle (ty for the ref Kalniel!)

Sorry that all happens well above me. I'm just in the shouting department. :P

It's been flagged with the right people, HEXUS is very thorough with these things, I'm sure you understand, but don't feel you have to wait to join in.

Hope you enjoy it here. :)

Hi Sam!

Yes, that's part of my "world". I'm still in the process of getting acquainted with the forum, community and my own team...but I'll do that tho :)

Hi Guys,

Look out, I'm gonna post some info about the release of our Catalyst 13.8 Beta Driver. It will include a link for dl as well as a thorough article (review) by Guru3D.

If you're from AMD you can do better than just repost net articles a week later can't you Sam?

O the Moderator is cute.
