From Armagetron

I downloaded my first copy of Armagetron in early 2002. I only played locally, but didn't like it as much as other lightcycle games so I deleted it after a few days. In December 2007 I decided to try it again, but this time I played online. Since then I've been addicted.


ArmagetronAd is more than just a game to me - it's a creative outlet.

  • I've made lots of textures and models, most of which can be found here.
  • I created some sound effects in anticipation of a future Arma version.
  • After years of not having one, I finally wrote up a Capture the Flag strategy guide. (Includes a 15 page manual on defense, plus a couple essays on holing and base-camping.)
  • And I've even done streaming commentary on Ladles.
  • I won a few tournaments:
    • Ladle 49
    • Brawl 13
    • Brawl 21
    • Illegal Exit 1
    • Illegal Exit 2
  • Also won Tronnies in the years 2010, 2011, 2012, & 2013.

I'm sometimes mocked for my catchphrase, "sumo is luck." There just happens to be more scoring randomness in Sumo than other game modes because of it's design, and a little luck goes a long way in Sumo.
