I was introduced to Killa (Andy) in 2006 when I first started playing with >XI< and the game was Call Of Duty 2.There was a crowd of us that really made >XI< something very special.Killa was a massive character who I chatted to in and out of game in xfire.Like so many have said he was extremely helpful with Pc problems and knew his stuff.In the year he died he was making the "mother of all Pcs" as he put it and was in the process of putting up to 4 grahic cards into a custom built pc.
I loved the way he dealt with people and miss the "fricken homo" expression he used.
When killa became ill I happen to know he was in Hospital and suddenly he appeared on xfire so I called him up,we went on mic and I quickly called Noddy and Johnnydos into a group chat with him.We soon had him saying "guys you kill me,makng me laugh" as I said the nurses were on their way to take his temperature with a cucumber in his arse and Noddy was asking if he had licked any of them yet !
Killas laugh was infectious as always and he loved the constant banter.
Killa sadly died on the 18th December 2008 and it was suggested we had a collection for him,it was a dream that we could give his wife $1000 dollars and at the time I was thinking that maybe the figure was a bit ambitious,we actually presented her with a cheque for over $2000 dollars and this is where >XI< goes far beyond just a gaming clan,this is where >XI< becomes a family that we feel proud to be part of.
I do have killas song saved on my pc its titled "XI killa theme" and its 1.35mb.
I havent even deleted Killa from my msn messenger and still wait for his name to light up and send me the "fricken homo" greeting.
I made this youtube video in memory of a great unforgotten man.
I miss you Killa you "fricken homo"
