djWHEAT - This isn't strictly TL related, but it's 5AM and I am reflecting on life. You have had more of an influence on me than you know.
At the ripe young age of 16 (6 years ago) I knew nothing of competitive gaming and spent my life on World of Warcraft. The first version of Weapon of Choice was born (under RadioITG / WOWRadio) and I had little expectations as to what would follow, but I was completely wrong. ITG eventually dismissed its relationship with WOWRadio and I followed them, learning of competitive Quake, Counter-strike, RTCW and more. Suffice to say, I found competitive gaming.
A year past and Weapon of Choice was reborn under the banner of Guild Wars, where you welcomed WoC / ITG fans in to a guild that many of us eventually became proud of. I followed you into this guild with high hopes of getting to know you and the world of competitive gaming and was not disappointed. VXIX may have lived a short life with the birth of your son leaving us leaderless, but you personally introduced me a world that a 16-year-old antisocial high school dropout and overall fuck-up could appreciate. I have lived in this world ever since.
Being one of those always-teased kids growing up and moving from school to school in the military family, I rarely had people I could call true friends, let alone regular-old friends. VXIX was among the first times my social development was really challenged, where I was merely an awkward kid learning how to fit in to a clique of people. Of course, I'm not giving you all the credit- people within the guild (kF mostly) welcomed to me the community and I learned much from them, even he-who-shall-not-be-named ("I've got a warrior on me" - an inside joke that other readers won't understand).
Since then, we have met a number of times. Whether at the two Digital Lifes I attended, MLG DC or (I think) one of the CPL events I attended, you always welcomed me with a familiar smile and a firm handshake. I may have not always agreed with you (and specifically recall a time I disowned you during v2 of Epileptic Gaming in Califonia, but I digress) but I have always appreciated how you helped shape my life in to what it is now.
I've always told myself, if I win the lottery, you've got a millions of dollars heading your way. You've done a lot for me, directly or indirectly, and I have sat and watched your passion for years. From your work Nevada and in to a set of unfortunate circumstances in GGL / CGS in California, and back to Nevada, you have never lost your passion. For that, you have been a role model I could always appreciate, and I thank you for it.
Asking kF if he has the real version of this oldschool picture, but for now, I recreated it.
