We would like to congratulate RL on being selected the HKC player of the month! We know him as an engineer with a love for splitting heads with his feared wrench! Always on the top of the scoreboard we enjoy having him in our servers and the community :)

Q: How long have you been gaming and what was the first game you really got addicted to?

A: I think I've been gaming since I was about four. The first game that I really became attached to was the original Super Mario Bros. That, coupled with the Atari 2600 my parents had kind of sealed the deal.

Q: What originally brought you to HK's TF2 servers and why did you stay?

A: Originally, it was thanks to a certain friend of mine. He and I were really into TF2 on the Xbox (DON'T LAUGH). After so long, we decided that we wanted to play with the updates (and hats), and we each picked up a copy of the game on PC. He managed to find the HK servers through pure chance, and I followed suit. We ended up frequenting the servers since this seemed to be one of the few corners of the internet where not everyone was a complete douche. In other words, we love you guys <3

Q: What's your favorite map, and why?

A: It's a tossup between Dustbowl and Badwater. Dustbowl is one of those maps that I've been playing since the release of the game, and I have yet to grow tired of it. Honestly, I'm not quite sure why, but I won't argue it. Badwater is just one of those maps where I've had luck playing as any class, and I like the payload gametype. It seems like a good combination.

Q: What's your favorite class and why?

A: Engineer. Have you ever seen a swarm of dancing, yippee-ki-yaying Texans? That should be enough of a reason. Alternatively, I enjoy building things, both in game and out.

Q: And what do you consider your worst class to be?

A: Sniper, easily. I rarely play the class, and when I am in the mood to try my hand at it, there are usually a half dozen other people already sniping. I like to at least pretend to be useful to the team.

Q: What is your favourite weapon unlock?

A: The Gunslinger. I love being able to assasult with a shotgun, retreat, and leave mini sentries around the corner for my pursuer. You have no idea how much satisfaction I get out of doing that.

Q: And which unlock do you think should never have been added into the game?

A: I think I have to say the Equalizer. I have never been a fan of the weapon, and it takes away part of the teamwork of the game. Its taunt is fun, though.

Q: When in a game, what is the most annoying thing your team can do or not do?

A: Complete silence. Not only does it take away from any amount of teamwork, but it's pretty boring. Give me a losing team and some people with personality over a team of winning jerks any day.

Q: What single thing do you think they could add to TF2 to make it even better?

A: I would love to see some new game modes and server options. I know a lot of people have been clamoring for an option to revert back to vanilla game play with none of the new weapons, and I think I might be on that bandwagon, providing they can implement it without letting it be abused.

Q: That's all the questions I have for you, is there anything you would like to add or say to our readers?

A: Yes: Defeating a sandwich only makes it tastier.

Q: Congratulations on being picked :)

A: Thanks much. Send my love to everyone on the servers.

Well done RL and thanks to Emil for conducting the interview!
