Hey there

Hey everyone, my name is Joe "Cry0sin" M. and I finally decided to write one of these.

I am a hardcore PC FPS junkie who has been playing FPS since the good ole days of wolfenstein 3D. I didn't actually own a computer back then, but I played it at various places when I could. The first shooting game I actually owned would be Goldeneye 64, which really kicked off shooting games for me.

At this point I have played multiple games at what a roughly semi-pro level. Never really competed at large events yet, but I have a few accomplishments I'm proud of.

I was a Gladiator Rank in World of Warcraft, I played Counter-Strike Source in the Cal-Main league and I also play StarCraft 2 at a Diamond level. Shooting games are more of my thing, but I love all styles of games really. Anything that is action packed and gets you going is something I would get into.

Game's that are deep and have an immersive team-work based environment are what really keep me engaged. Planetside 1 really shows what happens when you let players choose where and how they fight. It's a game that I've always enjoyed and now I am more hooked on it more than ever.

I have always loved Vanu Sovereignty, even though our weapons kinda suck

. TR is also okay, but I can't stand the NC for some reason.

The order is pretty much Lasers are cool(+2), Black/Red looks sexy(+1), The Jackhammer and Scatmax are really lame (-20) but Matt Higby is kinda cool(+5).

So VS is on top with 2 points, TR is close behind with 1 point, but the NC are far behind with -15. Sorry Matt.

After running around and getting my butt kicked, I finally joined Azure Twilight. They have been a great outfit to play with and I have recently started streaming for them on many occasions.

My outfit shows what happens when you coordinate large numbers of people really well. I have seen many 5v5 teams and even 10v10 teams do a great job of coordinating and guiding players, but we run upwards of 100+ people at some peak hours. The leaders who guide and run the outfit really showed me skills that I have never seen in a video game; large scale leadership. It's really a beautiful sight to see, and I encourage everyone to watch our streams to see how its done. You can find many great leaders for competitive 5v5 teams, but few great leaders for 100+ player outfits

Our channel is www.twitch.tv/azuretwilight if you're interested. We don't bite and are very friendly with viewers.

I also want to give a final shout out to the Dev team, who are more engaged and active with this community than any other game I've ever seen. Props to you guys. I have gotten to talk to a few of them on our streams and it has always been a blast shooting jokes back and forth, while Matt watches NC get decimated of course.

So anyway, that's who I am, who I play planetside with and why I still play it. I look forward to shooting my lasers your way in Planetside 2.
