This week's eGO: =(eGO)=? Cpt. Kirk {RED}
Aliases: (None)
You good to go? I'm ready when you are. Alright.
Favorite map (eGO-supported or not) and why? It's definitely Flash. I know, shocker, right? I like it because it's the most fun I've had anywhere. It's got the best sniping spots, it's a gauntlet for grenades, and the regulars are awesome. Don't get me wrong, shankers {**Redbud**ShankerS**} on Donner is a ton of fun but Flash is where it's at. I love being a "flasher" hehe. That answer is almost as much of a shock as the next one will be...
Favorite side/class and why? Hmmm, let me think....in all honesty for me the side I play depends on the map. Certain maps have better sniping spots for snipers and that's the side I choose, but I would have to say it's Axis. They just seem to have better weapons, aside from the noob tube. Favorite class is definitely the sniper, yet another shocker. I play that because there's nothing like the feeling of shooting someone from across the map and they weren't even able to see you. You can just reach out and touch them with the tip of your gun and you don't even have to be in the same part {of the map}. The "noob tube"?
Ahhh ze noob tube. Tis the Thompson...the head shot wonder of the world. Oh yeah. I call it the spray-n-pray. You talking about the random stray bullets from across the map that end up kill shots? Yep. Come around the corner, fire three bullets, and get five head shots...with your eyes closed. Sigh....been there. Funny story about that from just this last Friday, in fact. But...for another time.
What is your favorite thing about eGO? It's definitely the people. Nowhere around can you find a better group of guys (or girls). It's people like goomba {=(eGO)=? CaptGoomba}, semper fi {=(e)=? Semper_Fi ΞŜΞ {RED}}, blindy {=(eGO)=? Blindy?}, and dutch {=(eGO)=? Dutchoper72} that make this place what it is. It's why I keep coming back. Man...all of you interviewees are like beauty pageant contestants with this one.... lol, if we all say the same thing, then it must be true. Sometimes I wonder...
We all have some pretty sweet DoD:S stories. Share with us your favorite moment. This could get long, F.Y.I., but here goes... Have at it. We've heard some pretty lame ones.
haha {Just kidding, guys} lol, I'll try to do better. Ok, so those on Flash, at least the regulars, know of what is called "Kirk's Curse" or "Kirks Law." Basically it's if I say your name, you die. It works 99% of the time. Unfortunately it only works on my teammates. Well, this has also been known as a "power word kill", something a friend told be about from D&D i think, that resembles it exactly, so when playing, and I don't do it on purpose, I'll say your name to watch out for a grenade or an enemy and they'll die, and afterwords I whisper "power word kill". It can get people mad, I'm usually told to just say "hey you" to get peoples attention so I don't get them killed. This was the back story for reference. So on to the story... Well one day on Flash, I had consistently "power word killed" the same individual about 8 times. The same person that told me about the "power word Kill." This person happens to be joeboo {Joeboo {RED}}. Well, he got sick of it. So the round was just starting and he wanted to prove me wrong, and as we're leaving spawn he tells me to say his name, I said no, I'm not gonna kill you again, and he kept asking me. finally we get to the entrance archway to the axis field on flash and I pitch a tent to start covering hotel and blue cafe and joe won't drop it. He says "the round just started, there's no way I can be killed". He's jumping around me saying "say my name" over and over again, he goes and stands behind me and says "say my name" again, so finally out of frustration i yell "JOEBOO" and he blows up. A rocket grenade had been shot over the archway and behind us, no one saw it. He just incinerates. Never in my life had I seen this before. The whole Axis side of the server stops. Just stops. Then the whole right side of my screen lights up in mics of people laughing. The whole Axis side stopped and cried from laughing so hard. We lost in 30 seconds because everyone was laughing and not moving, no one could shoot, and the Allies ran us over and won. Single best moment on Flash to date. Told you it was a long one. Hahaha. Nice. You freak. lol, yeah. Also, I never knew that joeboo was a member of Destiny's Child. Destiny's Child? Whao huh? "Say my name, say my name...if no one's around you..." Oh God, "say baby I love you" now you got me started...
If you had to name your DOD:S arch-nemesis, who is it and why? ARCH-NEMESIS, CAPTAIN KIRK COULDN'T POSSIBLY HAVE AN ARCH-NEMESIS. But if I had to choose one, it's definitely chocolatevillain {=(eGO)=? ChocolateVillain}. If he's got a sniper rifle and he's on Allies I can keep up and go 1 to 1 with him, maybe even 2 to 1 if I'm having a good day, but it's not his rifle skills that scare the everlivin' crap out of me. It's when he picks up the support class. And then it's not even the gun that scares me. It's his damned grenades. That candy bar (my name for him) can hit me from anywhere on the map with a grenade. If he's got a sniper rifle, I can fight back, but with those grenades there's nothing I can do. They don't even bounce. He throws them with such precision and finesse that they blow up 2 feet above your head. You can't even wait for the ping sound they make when they bounce telling to you to get the hell out of there and leaves me yelling "NAAAAADE" like a little school girl. It's just one minute I'm sniping on main the next I'm looking at a picture of chocolatevillain on the death cam from the Allied field. That's the other part that sucks, he can throw them from across the map. It's like an artillery strike. So is he bald then? Dare I ask...bald? Like Picard. Try to keep up. lol sorry, it's Monday, give me a break. He very well could be bald. At least it would make me feel better, knowing that's why.
So this is another no-brainer, but what is your screen name from and why did you choose it? Hmmmm, I wonder where it's from.......? It's obviously from Star Trek. I chose it because I love Star Trek. I chose Captain Kirk specifically for what it represents. In the beginning I was torn between Captain Kirk and Captain Picard. Both are great captains, but it came down to the fighting. When you're in the trenches doing hand-to-hand combat, getting dirty, and firing your phaser pew pew pew (sorry, I had to), do you want the guy that goes "Tea. Earl grey. Hot." every 15 minutes, or do you want the guy that's in the thick of it going "I didn't realize I'd have to blast my way out of there". The choice was simple. And, as a bonus, Captain Kirk does get all the girls.
In your quest to boldly go where no man has ever gone before (and to bastardize grammar by splitting an infinitive verb)...what is the craziest place you've ever gone? New York. I live in Wisconsin, so I'm just a cheesehead. But I went on a trip to New York once. Took the subway supposedly from Times Square to the Statue of Liberty, got off, and I was in the middle of Chinatown. OH MY GOD! Beam me up, Scotty. I have never been so lost in my life. Tons of people around to ask for directions, none of them that speak my language. KIRK ME! Do you speak like William Shatner in real life? No, but I wish I did. The way he talks is dynamite. It's just so powerful.
What's been your favorite Priceline commercial to film? The one where he helps this guy book a trip and then he gets the guy to talk like him. Best line "I'm guess I'm just speaking the language of the deal." I am a little confused...which is a higher rank? Captain of the Enterprise, or Chief Priceline Negotiator? Oh Captain of the Enterprise for sure. Did you get to keep your redshirts when you got demoted to Chief Priceline Negotiator? Lol, I wouldn't use the word demoted. It's more of "retired" to Chief Priceline Negotiator. And no, Paramount wouldn't let me keep them. Sad.
Last question, let's go out with a sort of a bang... Sweet. Speaking of your redshirts...many people don't know that the {RED} tag identifies your own redshirts within (and some outside of, no?) the edgegamers organization. Who does their job well to watch your back and sacrifice themselves? Who is failing at their job? Give us the short version of your little crew of redshirts... Ah my redshirts. They're a great bunch. Always willing to go out and die or take a rocket to the face for me. My best redshirt would have to be semper fi. Nobody kills himself for me like he does. The one redshirt that is slacking would be erich {=(e)=? Erich {RED}}, he just doesn't seem to die for me as much as he used to. How selfish. I know, right, he should know better. The one wearing the gold shirt gets to live, that's just how it is. But....your display pic has you in a red shirt...Maybe he gets confused? Yeah, it's to signify the group, but everyone knows I wear the gold shirt. And, well, it is erich, not hard to confuse him. I kid, I kid. And you wonder why he doesn't suicide for ya more... lol
Alright, thanks for participating, Kirk! Thanks for having me, it was fun.
