Steve Patterson
Steve "gamingguru" Patterson (also known as gg) was certainly one of the most distinctive and original personalities The Elite has ever had the pleasure of coming across. He started out as a promising young noob in the VERY early days of the Elite, beginning his career by creating the worst topic title ever. gg promised big things to come in Perfect Dark, and they soon did, as he rose to 11th on the rankings.
However, where he would really end up making his mark was on the boards, specifically the new General Chat board, which he was one of the first to ever post in, and soon became a true Pioneer of. His incredible post count is a real tribute to just how active he was in those days, constantly breathing new life into a relatively small and generally slow board. Always irrelevant, always funny (well... almost always), and always making references to male genitalia (he was, in many ways, the original Tyler Probert). gg is one of the Elite's true treasures.
