Member Spotlight - PainKiller>XI<ADM

 PainKiller>XI<ADM COD2

 

Do you have any nicknames? Personal or in game?

PainKiller, Pain, Pain in my ass, Pain in the ass. PK.

When and where were you born?

South East England, 1994 babyyyy!

When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I think it was a pilot, or work in the Royal Navy. Never did, so instead I pretend I do in video games

Where have you lived?

My hometown, then Farnham in Surry, and now Canterbury in Kent     

What got you into gaming?

Just something I started off really early as a kid, and its been something I have loved ever since!

Your first game you played?

I really can't remember but I have a lot of memories of Rayman on the PS1 and Command and Conquer on the PC. I have played so many I can't remember.

And what do you play now?

I play a LOT of things, I don't think I can put them all here but here are my top 5 that I play now:

    War Thunder
    CoD 2
    7 Days to Die
    Project Zomboid
    ARMA 3

Why did you join XI?

My dad used to be an Admin in CoD2 way back when I was a teenager. I was the first JR member - you can double check if you'd like but when he left, I had to go with as I was only a JR but when I hit 18 or so, I came back, told folks in CoD2 who I was, and the rest is history. I am now a well established member of the clan, and an admin for CoD2 - something I never thought I would get!

What do you get from being in this clan?

A wonderful group of idiots in CoD2 I call my extended family. I have known them for about 14 years, and I have a lot of fond memories of all of them. Loader has been someone close to me for a very long time, and helped me grow into who I am now in the clan.

What is your favorite hobby?

Gaming, duh! My Steam account keeps growing, but I also have GOG and Origin games on top of that!! I have recently gotten into Warhammer: Age of Sigmar, Warhammer 40k, and Magic the Gathering. Keeping me busy, and my bank account empty.

What is your favorite travel destination?

Bed, as I have never been abroad in my life, but I hope to change that one.

What kind of pets do you have, if any? What are their names?

I don't own pets, but through my life I have had cats, fish, a snake, a lizard and an owl. Currently, my parents have two dogs, who I love to pieces and wouldn't trade them for anything.

What is an interesting fact about you?

Have you continued your education past college or university with career development seminars or classes? What kind?

I studied at Canterbury Christ Church University in Kent, doing Digital Media. Before that I did some months doing a Games Design course but left that because mental health.

Did you know what profession you wanted to work in when you started college?

Video games! But sadly, that has fallen to the wayside - but in the interim I am now in IT.

I don't know it now because dad and I don't talk much now, but he was Noddy when he was in the clan.

Now that I have read that, I didn't learn anything new, except that you can't really grow a beard.  Cya in game.

Good interview there, Alex (interview left out name, but FB!). Man, you're the same age as my oldest of two sons! Been a pleasure playing you through all those TDM weekends (pain in the ass, unless you're on my team) and thanks for what you do for our COD2 servers.

Yeah @PainKiller we all really owe you a huge thank you for your dedication to the servers and to making our weekends fun when we game. Remember that you can never talk as much as Dirk so you are fine unless you and @window are on the same team then your team is going to lose most of the time or you are trying to get to a glitch. You were our first Jr member and we had several long debates about the Idea but because it was you and you are such a nice person we took the chance. You have proved over the years what those of us who gamed with you knew long ago, you are a kind good hearted person who has your friends backs always. I am glad to be able to consider you my friend and remember I don't care who is doing the maps and server settings I am always going to bitch about something because it is my nature to point out shit. Doesn't mean I am right just means I bitch and if it is major it can be fixed before it becomes a problem. Nice Read BTW (Look it isn't in all caps)

Window and I just screw around every now and then, I don't know why! 
I've always got my friends backs. Yea I get frustrated in the game, and with the people at times, but each and every one of you guys are my friends, and I will always have peoples backs. Even Windows back, sadly  There might often be times where I can be an asshole but in all fairness everyone has that capacity; but everyone I know says I'm a lovely person. Just not when I am tired or in a bad mood  I should just have a bowl and go chill.

I've worked hard on the server, for years now, always thinking of ways to keep it fresh. I think what we have now thanks to all the input from yourself and the others, we have a good thing going with the rotation and the settings. I can't please everyone, and that's still something I am getting used to! The less I care, the happier I am! I can get almost all fixes done on the server in a few minutes, like rotation errors and some settings and I've said a few times that if there is something happening, and I am not around to fix it in game, PM me and I will look into it ASAP.
