Since 1999

Founders:
James L "JMechanic"

tm (techsmedia) started in 1999 as an experimental webtech brand of venture projects in site creations, script mods, webserver management, and hosting. Benji and William soon joined after, especially with managing various website projects. Some of the early tm projects are now long established websites with mass memberships, or niche area gems. The profitable and successful web projects such as SiteManaged, JLHost, and ModCloud have been merged with more scalable brands, as the young venturers moved into University!

tm Steam Group started in 2007, with the same three youngsters destroying the PC games with devastating ease and hilarious laughter. Steam proved a lively digital social platform. The gaming group was especially active between 2008-2013 and the tm teams and members were approached and recruited by British powerhouses at the time such as Team Element and Power Gaming (PwR) for Left4Dead and Starcraft.

Now in 2020, our members are top tech professionals, Silicon Valley engineers, entrepreneurs, educators, rockstars, musicians, eSports players and more. We are seeing the dreams we chatted about 10, 20 years ago being realised - it is quite amazing. We are changers and changing.

But one thing hasn't changed for some of us.

We still game.

Next update, 2030.
