'Sup! It'sa me, Krakob of the Skylark, knight of semi-hipsterness, proud officer of Aeonic Doom, and great cat lover.

SK history

WIP section. Joined on Steam release day, spent almost 1000 hours playing now.

Guilds

I joined a guild known as Templarknights ages back, after having gone guildless for very long. I was already an Ash Tail when I joined my virgin glorified friends list. Back then, Templarknights only had two active members, Templarknight and I. I soon left after having been recruited to Aeonic Doom by Scottish-Archer, a nice fella who parted with Aeonic Doom later on. It only took me a day or so to go from Recruit to Member. The next step was considerably longer, I think it was more than three months. Aeonic Doom values quality over quantity, however, so I'm happy with us having few but veteranish veterans.

Somewhere along the road, all active members of Aeonic Doom migrated to Shadow AD. This was due to innactive GMs, and us needing a fresh start. I believe this event took place before I was promoted to Veteran.

Months passed, people left, people went innactive, people joined, people returned and the guild changed. Shadow AD is not the guild I once joined, but many of our dear core members are still actively playing. I was eventually promoted to Officer by Myrtle. It turned out she thought I already was. So here I am, the silliest, ascocialest, Kat-lovingest Officer of Shadow Aeonic Doom, here to stay, perhaps for another six months or more.

WIP paragraph. I joined Shard Squad with an alt lulz.

Personal stuff

My real name is (prepare to have your minds blown) S. Jakob S. I am a Swedish nub, Spiral Knight since the Steam release day. I've been gaming since I was just a few years old, starting with the Nintendo 64, playing Mario Kart 64, Super Mario 64, Super Smash Bros., and more. Our family eventually moved on to the Nintendo GameCube. I also grew up with a SNES emulator, used for games such as Sunset Riders and Final Fantasy IV. Yes, I do realise those are totally unrelated. I also had (and still have) a GameBoy Advance SP. Good stuff!

I've been using the internet for ages but I was never really active in any communities until I joined the IRC channel #gmc, that is dedicated to the GameMaker Community. I started using Game Maker many years ago and joined #gmc around the 4th GameMaker Community Jam. I have released very few games since because I greatly lack motivation more than really often.

Playing and developing games aside, I also listen to music and uh... I don't do much more than that. I do go to school, thank the gods. Most of the genres I listen to are subgenres of metal, including Death-, Goth-, and Symphonic Metal. I also listen to game music and some chiptunes. Here's the full list of bands/composers I listen to:
