ABOUT LEGACY MOB COMMUNITY
I started LEGACY MOB CLAN in 201 1 as a competitive gaming clan for games like call of duty , halo etc. Over the years us kids in the clan grew up and moved apart. LM0B has always stuck with me through my endeavors with graphic design , retail ,gaming and everything I do seems to have Legacy in front of the marketing strategy. Some successful and a lot of failures. Now I want to bring a community together. Finally!!! Games have played a vital roll in my life and brought me hours of happiness. From Playing them to watching others play my creation. there's no better felling then the comments when someone enjoys your hard work. Legacy Mob is a community I want to bring people together and bring new people into so they can experience the joy of playing games and making them. IN A WORLD THAT SEEMS LIKE ITS FALLING APART CREAT SOMETHING TO HOLD IT TOGETHER. MY thought for this community is that the new people that come to this community may be the minds that write programs that save the world.....or just a really fun game. either way I'm happy with it. Either way you never know. Welcome to the community! -Kris Woodward-
