Continue to get to know the Gala Games Team that makes the magic happen with another Galaxian Highlights! Today we spotlight Light GG!

The Primarchs of the Crimson Sun

Our community at Gala Games is a beautiful thing, and a lot of people work very hard to support and foster a positive culture and environment throughout every life that Gala Games touches. The Primarchs of the Crimson Sun are the front line customer service professionals who are there day in and day out to make sure the needs of the community are met.

In this installment, we are taking some time to get to know Elijah– better known as Light GG among the community. While you may not interact with him as often as some of the other Primarchs, his hand helps keep both the community and everything under its glorious hood running smoothly, even when unseen. He’s commonly the go-to for Founder’s Node issues on the Gala Games Discord, but is always there for whatever the community needs.

What do you do at Gala Games?

I am a Customer Support Lead. I enjoy working with my co-leads and my awesome team members to help resolve issues for the community. I help train and mentor people, manage the apps utilized by the team, and help with what needs to be done to provide support to the company.

What previous experience brought you to Gala Games?

Before Gala Games, I worked in the IT industry for small to medium businesses and large corporations. My previous role was a Systems Engineer that works with non for profit organizations. I helped with daily IT operations, provided consulting, and managed systems and network infrastructure.

I have been in the crypto space for some years and experienced the entire rollercoaster for better and worse. This combined experience allowed me to transition well into Gala Games and it’s been a pleasure ever since.

Why did you pick your Galaxian D&D title?

I’ve picked Light Mage because I enjoy supporting people to excel in their roles. The sense of fulfillment in seeing people succeed is such a satisfying feeling. It’s also the role I commonly pick when playing games because magic and wizardry are so cool.

What are your favorite games?

I grew up playing video games as I was in computer shops for the majority of my childhood. I heavily played GoldenEye007, Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, Tenchu Stealth Assassins, Tekken, Counter Strike, DotA, League of Legends, and Rust.

My play to earn experience started with DotA in Warcraft III though as when I was in grade 6, I started joining tournaments and events where people pooled money and whomever team wins gets it all. I’ve competed in the Bicol region within the Philippines with friends and had such a wonderful time. Ah, this brings back great memories.

One of my favorite games is League of Legends. I started playing it back in 2009 and managed to reach Diamond in 2014 playing Jungle, ADC, and Mid. The Nidalee One-shot build is one of my favorites because Tons of Damage!

Lately, I’ve been playing Spider Tanks, Risks of Rain 2 and trying to learn how to play Minecraft.

Favorite music?

In terms of music, I enjoy listening to a wide range of genres depending on the mood. I listen to pop, rock, punk rock, metal, heavy metal, kpop, and EDM.

After watching the Bohemian Rhapsody movie, I played my Queen playlist on repeat for a month which my wife surely appreciated.

Favorite foods?

Picking a favorite food is tough. I like fried chicken and it’s probably why I used to work for KFC Restaurant. In all seriousness, I love fried chicken, especially Korean Fried Chicken and Jollibee. Also, I like a medium-rare steak with a hint of garlic and paprika. I also like sushi– specifically mango and volcano roll. I could go on…

What’s your ideal pizza/sandwich date?

I’d choose pizza any day of the week. An ideal pizza for me would be a donair pizza that has extra cheese, onions, and garlic, then watch a thriller movie with my wife.

Get to know the customer service professionals that are dedicated to our Galaxian community. Up today, the ChairBandit himself!

The Primarchs of the Crimson Sun

On the front line of the Gala Games legion are brave heroes that serve, defend and educate. Their ferocity to protect the community is equally matched by their compassion for every Galaxian. They carry good tidings between the people and the rest of the Gala Games team, but also carry the legendary Banhammer of Deletion.

The Primarchs of the Crimson Sun are Gala Games’ elite Customer Support squad. Longtime members of the community are likely very familiar with these devoted denizens of Discord, and it’s well past time to take a minute to get to know them a little better.

Today, we start with the lead of The Primarchs, Levi– better known as ChairBandit!

What do you do at Gala Games?

I’m a Customer Support Lead. I help identify issues that need fixing, interface with the other departments around the company in a variety of ways as well as the community to help get goals accomplished, and look good while doing it.

Why did you pick your Galaxian D&D title?

Bandit of Chairs, Mentor of CS, Wielder of Beard. My long history of stealing chairs has become somewhat of an urban legend on every continent except Antarctica (I’m coming for you next!) There have been many copycats over the years, but there can only be one true, original ChairBandit.

Lately I’ve been dedicating my life to mentoring the Customer Support team both professionally and personally to help them grow and become as awesome as they can be while maintaining a somewhat respectable beard. Having said that, I do plan on coming out of retirement one of these days for one last heist.

Favorite games/music

I actually grew up in the punk/metal scene. Mohawk, leather jacket, all that jazz. I still harbor quite a bit of love for that genre of music. It instills that rebellious mind set that helps me push forth and continue to want to change the world for the better, particularly for the little guy that often doesn’t get the attention or adoration they deserve.

As for video games, I’ve grown quite fond of seeing just how high my threshold for smashing a keyboard can be with Elden Ring and I’m loving every second of it. I’m also very much looking forward to competing in Spider Tanks and finally becoming the world renowned gaming legend my twelve year old self knew I could be.

Some of my old school gaming loves definitely lie with a variety of Super Nintendo and N64 titles such as MegaMan, Super Mario, Final Fantasy etc… One of my favorite games of all time is Donkey Kong 64 and it’s not up for debate.

Favorite food/hobbies/interests

Favorite food is definitely a Carne Asada Burrito. If ever I’m hungry and looking to order something and can’t decide on what to get, that is my default option probably 90% of the time.

As for hobbies and interests, that’s quite a difficult question. I’ve grown up with ADHD and one of the byproducts of it could actually be considered somewhat of a superpower when applied properly. It is my ability to entirely focus on a singular thing and learn everything there is to know about it, and I mean REALLY go down the rabbit hole.

One of the downsides is that this process is very cyclical and can result in a number of unfinished hobbies and projects all over the house that I’m “planning on getting to one day.” I’ve got 3d printers, Warhammer figures, lockpick sets, magic sets, you name it, just all over the house at all times and I jump into them for a couple weeks here and there. I am quite literally a Jack of All Trades and Master of None, but I enjoy how dedicated and enthusiastic I’m able to become with the things that interest me and wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Previous experience that you bring to Gala Games

I come from a long history of being an IT nerd and a lot of it was customer service related. I’ve worked as the sole IT person for a large development company, I’ve worked for the US Department of Defense in a variety of roles, and that experience really helped me hit the ground running when I came over to Gala Games.

The best part is, I got to take all that professional experience I’ve accrued over a 10+ year career in IT and start applying it to my biggest hobby– video games!

Ideal pizza/sandwich date

Is a Mexican restaurant an acceptable response? Don’t get me wrong, pizza is great and all, but I’ll take a burrito over pizza any day of the week.

Which SpiderTanks hat bests describes you?

Definitely the viking helmet. I’m very in tune with my norse roots so any opportunity I have in a video game to adorn myself with viking aesthetics and pillage my way to victory is a no brainer.

Guy Incognito is on the case. Risking life and limb, he’s infiltrating the Galaverse to give you the latest clandestine intel!

My contact called me late Sunday. She was cool headed– a quick thinker and ice cold under pressure. But not this time. Something was different. She didn’t say much, but there was fear in her voice that let me know I needed to get there right away.

I grabbed my hat and hopped a bird across the Atlantic, headed towards the Mediterranean. She said she’d meet me in Malta and to make sure no goons were tailing me. I’ve heard that one before. I’m not the best damn investigator in the business for nothing, and nobody gets the drop on Guy Incognito.

Under the Maltese Sun

I landed in Malta on Monday morning and slipped through the back avenues and alleys to the spot she said she’d meet me. Didn’t take long for me to see that something about this island was more off than a cockroach in an overcoat. I watched from the shadows as masses of people strolled the tiny island wearing long, dark, hooded cloaks with a strange cube logo on them. I couldn’t tell what they were up to, but they were all converging on one massive event center… and I knew they couldn’t be up to any good.

When I met my contact, she explained that all these hooded figures had descended on the island over the weekend. They were here for some important meeting, but she had been unable to gain access or get any intel out of the strangers.

They had been friendly enough, but under questioning about their interest in the island they seemed to slip into their own language she couldn’t make heads or tails of. Said they seemed to be some kind of fanatics who worship a giant chicken– unsettling stuff. God knows what they’re up to in there, but she said they’d all been invited to come “into the Galaverse.”

This sent my head reeling. Malta is a tiny island. How are all these people going into whatever this “Galverse” is? She was right to call me. I like seafood as much as the next man, but something that wasn’t coming from the harbor struck me about all this.

Into the Galaverse

My client had an extreme interest in finding out what was happening inside that building to share with their community, and that’s all I needed to know. No cloak-wearing cube cultists are going to scare me away from getting the job done. Guy Incognito always gets his mark.

I told my contact to get off the island as fast as she could. I didn’t know how all this was going to go down, but the risk was mine and mine alone. She handed me one of the cloaks she was able to grab off a stoolie who may have taken a drink too much of the golden lagers popular in this stretch of the Mediterranean. We said our goodbyes and lingered for a minute– our eyes telling each other more than our words could bear to say.

As she walked away, I put on my cloak and overcoat and fixed my hat before walking out into the hot Maltese summer sun. I slipped into a passing crowd of cloaked figures unnoticed as they processed towards the building. They seemed to be in a kind of daze of excitement and wonder. I pulled my hat low and put my hood up. It was time to get down to business figuring out what this “Galaverse” was.

My clients hire me because they know I get results. It’s time to follow the clues, dig up the dirt and crack this case. Nothing is too secret or too exclusive for Guy Incognito to infiltrate!

Next Steps

As I make my surroundings and piece together the clues, I’ll organize bits and pieces to feed back to you, so stay frosty, gumshoes!
