Biography
💠Gamer, collector, and drummer
💠I'm passionate for my favorite characters
💠Completionist for my favorite games
💠Plays on PC, all consoles, and handhelds
💠HUGE Kiss fan (totally not obsessed)
💠Admires Space, Astronomy, and Technology
💠Appreciates luxurious lifestyles

Can’t decide if Left 4 Dead or Jet X2O is my favorite game. But you’ll notice that most games I love are developed for classic Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles. I'm fairly well-rounded in the genres I do play, but I always ride the line between reaching competitive levels and playing for genuine enjoyment. If you want to see the games I play, refer to my character tier list to give you a general idea.

I'm very old-school when it comes to video games and music, but I do appreciate technological advancements and always try to balance between the two. I tend to get very irritated when people try to dismiss the classics as if they are irrelevant or don't hold any importance. Without the fantastic work of previous generations, we would not be here today. Have respects for the classics or get the ♥♥♥♥ lost.

I currently work doing active duty military, however, I strive to eventually work for NASA, Valve, PlayStation, Nintendo or Capcom upon transitioning jobs.

The Left 4 Dead 2 Beta Restoration Project gives the Valve gaming community a close replication of the Left 4 Dead 2 E3 Demo, a pre-release build of Left 4 Dead 2 that showcases many unused designs, features, and concepts. Even though I’ve managed the Beta Pack since its debut in 2011, while also partaking in developing assets for the project, I could not have achieved success without my talented team, the many content creators, and all the additional contributions. As a whole, allowing players to experience a pre-release version of Left 4 Dead 2 gives modern gamers a chance to relive that history made at E3 2009!

Jet X2O Remaster Project
My team and I are (slowly but surely) working on a remake for the classic PlayStation 2 Jet X2O video game. Currently, we are disassembling the older pre-release (beta) builds by investigating its file structure, format, and programming. In doing so, we hope that we eventually will reverse engineer its functions to make a more efficient and remastered version of the final game. The intent is to provide better gameplay, more multiplayer capabilities, additional customization features, and re-add most unused content. We will primarily transition to this project once we can put our Left 4 Dead 2 Beta project on the back-burner. I also plan to release videos that coincide with this project, including reviews, tier lists, guides, and more.

KISS Video Series
As mentioned above, I'm a huge Kiss fan and collector, and while gaming is a huge part of that passion, this hobby of mine actually stems from my favorite band Kiss. I know too much about this band, own a ridiculous amount of merchandise, and have also played drums for 25 years with Kiss as the complete inspiration for doing so. Therefore, I feel it would be most appropriate to migrate to this type of content. Since Kiss has a 50-year musical legacy and 20 studio album catalog worth of material, it could naturally generate decent amounts of content. I plan to release album tier lists, album reviews, product reviews, Top-10's, and more.

Left 4 Dead 2 is a unique, classic, and exciting video game unlike any other zombie game out there. Its fast-pace strategies force players to stay engaged, as the game can go from 0 to 100 real quick. The base game includes lots of content which constitutes tons of replay value. If for some reason the base-game isn't enough for you, Left 4 Dead 2 provides the Steam Workshop, where there is tons of custom content to freshen up and enhance your experience. This has been my favorite videogame for years and I highly recommend it to anyone!

One of my most favorite games ever made, and that says a lot when we're in an age where corporations can easily ruin them.

My review might show only a few hours as of this post, but I have platinumed the game on PS5 already when the game first released. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience then, and still do even on this port. Stellar Blade is a game that strictly focuses on a deep well-written story, exciting gameplay and mechanics, and of course, a very attractive lead female character.

The game does have a learning curve and a lot of exploration to be had, but once you get the hang of it, you as a player will excel. Even though this a single player experience, this game has tons of in-game collectibles, bonus game modes, easter eggs, great DLC, and even multiple endings (with New Game+ feature).

I've had only minor issues with the PC port, as even though my PC greatly exceeds the required specs, I do have some frame drop and minor optimization issues when level sections begin loading during gameplay. Aside from that, playing on a keyboard and mouse is a challenge so I highly advise playing with a controller, as that is what this game was native to.

Highly recommend for those who want to try something new, engaging, and something at your own pace!

It took me a grand total of 11 minutes to fall in love with Eve

Known this man since College! He's a Throwbacks kinda guy for sure always loving the Classics of KISS & The Left 4 Dead Franchise. I had the honor of being apart of his L4D2 Beta Pack Speed Run Event as one of the creators- He has truly built a team of gamers that show their passion and love in their work together. I am super exited to see what is in store!
