Introductions

Greetings and bienvenue <Insert Name of Knight Here>!


I am Another-Guy, slayer of Devilites, bane of Wolvers, and eater of snacks!


I joined the Spiral Knights community shortly after the game went live on Steam, and after playing for about a year now, I've finally decided to sit down and create a user page for no reason whatsoever! Huzzah!

Feel free to keep reading if you want, but be warned! There are things about me that no one should probably know... BUT thankfully, I've decided to keep this clean, so you shouldn't have to worry about that! (Or WILL you?!) *overly dramatic music*


About Me

In-Game

I'm a 5-star knight at Vanguard rank with Tier 2 Shadow Lair clearance. While I was previously a bomber by vocation, I've come to be a full-on hybrid (Guns/Bombs/Swords) player, although I lean very much toward musketeering (Guns/Swords) nowadays, ironically enough. I somewhat frequently run through the Firestorm Citadel and Royal Jelly Palace for profit and often visit the Arcade every once in a while, for old times' sake. You'll often find me roaming aimlessly about Haven every now and again, usually either talking with friends and guildmates, checking the Auction House, or just standing in the garden having staring contests with Monomi (At least I think that's what the statue's name is. You'd think after so many staring contests, we'd be on a first name basis by now).

Formerly, you could easily spot me wearing my trademarked (not really) outfit pictured above, but to be honest, I've branched out a lot more in terms of accessories and costumes... mostly because I've run out of weapons I really want to make. Sometimes, you'll find me dressed up as Warmaster Seerus or Napoleon (or at least a fiery, evil version of him) as I try to gather brave knights willing to aid me in my conquest of Haven or Europe, respectively. (What I want to conquer really depends on my mood, more than anything.) Other times, you'll find me dressed up as a girl in Hallow gear with a fetish for guns, an arctic warrior wearing WAY too many Frosty accessories, a new player with a questionable choice of Proto gear, the Almighty Crash Pod, a wall in Haven's bazaar, or a respawning block in the Advanced Training Hall. Yeah... I think I'm going through a bit of an identity crisis at the moment, so just bear with me. :x

Other Facts About Me

  • According to my files, I've officially been a part of the Spiral Knights community since June 15, 2011. *toots party favor*
  • I've unlocked every Achievement in the game, with Fully Loaded being my last one. [1]
  • I once managed to find two rare item drops in one FSC run, a Pepperbox and a Graviton Bomb, through an absolutely incredible stroke of dumb luck, getting me about 85,000 crowns for absolutely nothing. Hooray for random number generation! :D [2]
  • As of June 22, 2012, I have successfully completed Depths 24 - 27 of the Firestorm Citadel solo in a full Proto set with a Proto Shield, Shadow weapons, no Trinkets, and no deaths. I managed to make it to phase 5 of the fight against Vanaduke, but I have to say, unless you have HOURS to burn, you'd probably be better of hitting him with a wet sponge (perferably a used one that can inflict Poison on him >:3). To be perfectly honest, it isn't impossible by any means. In fact, phases 1 though 4 were a total cakewalk. But when phase 5 kicks in and ol' Vanny gets total shadow immunity, weeeeeellll... lets just say it would take roughly 8 times longer to kill him with an Acheron than it would with a Polaris, which, itself, takes ages to kill him. Just like in my 1st Shadow weapons run, I eventually quit because the fight was simply taking too long. Still, as far as I know, no one has made it this far with this setup, so that's... something, I guess! XD [3][4]
  • I am currently a Member of Jedi Knights, a guild which has surprisingly little do with either Jedi's or the Star Wars franchise but is probably the best guild I've been in so far, largely do to Howardfeng (a.k.a. the best GM ever :D).

Out-of-Game

In real life, I'm a 3rd year Computer Science student currently working towards a career in video game development. While Spiral Knights is pretty much my main video game at the moment, I also like to play games like Team Fortress 2, Half-Life 2, Left 4 Dead 2, PlanetSide 2, and Sonic Adventure 2. (I swear, I never even noticed how many of my games have a 2 in them until I typed this up XD.)

While my main interests revolve greatly around video games, I also dabble quite a bit in the Maths and Sciences, receiving an Associate of Arts degree in Engineering literally 3 weeks before earning my High School Diploma, due to my Dual Enrollment status and some questionable date planning by my school district :x. My altogether favorite subject throughout my education has been Calculus, and although I consider video games my passion, I've also considered math majors, such as Number Theory, from time to time.

Despite all this, I do have a life outside of video gaming and academics (although not much of one, admittedly :x) which usually consists of me goofing off, drawing, programming my own games, and occasionally working out (which you probably wouldn't believe if you ever saw me)... Oh! and sleeping, even if I do forget it more often than I'd like to admit XD.
