About Me

I can tell you I have been gaming longer than most SK players have been alive. I prefer genuine coop, which is why I like SK so much. I like when I find a posse to run with who know how to work together, and still have fun. It would be nice to find a regular group.

I carry a Valiance just about everywhere, then tailor the other armor and weapons to match where I am going. I usually wear my trusty mining hat, so that is one way you will know me when you see me.

I am looking for an Extra Tall Modifier, because in real life, I am seven feet tall.

Philosophy

Philosophy? You may ask what philosophy has to do with gaming. I would counter, How can you be a gamer without a philosophy about what gaming should be about?

Maturity does not always follow age, but usually it does. It would be great to meet some older gamers. I joined a forum called The Older Gamers (TOG), but not much has come from that yet. I doubt it is realistic to find anyone my age in SK, but if there are other older gamers in here, say above at least 25 or so, then I am looking for you people. I was born in 1966, three years before man landed on the moon, and three years before the launch of ARPA net, the predescessor to the Internet. I got access to one of the first PCs when I was a teenager.

Coop is the best game mode. That is what I think. Even a tough sprite plays by rules, and thus can be beaten, and then beaten consistently. Human players adapt and cheat, so while more challenging, playing deathmatch is not really an escape from real life.

Some like to call CounterStrike and TF2 coop games, but they are not really. It is team deathmatch. While I like a round of CTF as much as anyone, the best and purest experience comes from team play. Good teams can have it in any game, but coop games encourage it. Spiral Knights is one of the best coop games ever devised.
