Robby “brownkidd” Weiss
Founder/Editor-At-Large
Contact: brownkidd@albotas.com

I’m the 24 year old, 2-time design school dropout responsible for this mess of a site (with LOADS of help from my good friend Eddie). I consider myself a jack of all trades; I’ve dabbled in the music scene, dabbled in fine art, dabbled in comics, dabbled in film making, dabbled in graffiti, and now I spend most of my time dabbling in the internets. Ever since I can remember, I’ve always excelled at one thing: telling people about awesome stuff. This site is my way of sharing awesome stuff with the rest of the world. Hopefully you pass the awesomeness along to others.

I originally got involved with Albotas by just having a domain available. Robby said he was starting up a T-Shirt company and mentioned they wanted to get a site going, I had a domain, Albotas.com was born. At first I had nothing to do with it at all, as time went on I helped here and there with website coding, then jumped on board with the T-Shirt idea. So, we had a site up but nothing on it because we couldn’t afford to get shirts to be made, so we filled the dead space with local and random news. Fast forward a few months later and our full fledged blogging consumed the internet in all it’s glory.

I’m a big gamer across all platforms and have been involved with the modding community for games like Half-Life and Unreal since it’s started. Oh yeah, I’m a loose leaf tea connoisseur.

Thanks for reading my rundown, have an awesome day.

Jose “Prime”
Contributor/Canadian Corespondent

My name is Jose, but everyone calls me Prime or Jprime. I’m the Montreal agent of ALBOTAS and the self proclaimed director of dudeness. I know video games and everything that revolves around them pretty well. I’m very happy to be part of the awesome team of ALBOTAS and will do my best to make this site even better. The net is vast and infinite, so let’s explore it with style.
