About Me

Well, I'm a recently-converted-to-hardcore-except-I-still-sort-of-suck gamer stuck at a dominantly anti-gaming school: Wheaton College, Illinois (useless fact: there's another Wheaton College in Massachusetts). For me, addictive game == action with RPG elements. Hence many happily-wasted hours on Oblivion, Ninja Gaiden, RE4, TF2, CoD4... Haven't been able to get into RTSs or turn-based RPGs yet.

Anyway, I'm from around Fairbanks, Alaska (seriously) and am a math major, computer science minor, maybe a physics minor too. Would love to be a professional game developer except big programming projects (like games) are incredibly difficult and annoying. I know this from personal experience. Independent development might be a different story, but I haven't tried yet. Writing is fun and I keep intending to record my impressions of games, but just end up playing them instead.

If I'm not gaming, I'm doing homework, reading news (Destructoid, Slashdot, Digg, Kotaku) webcomics (XKCD, Penny Arcade, Zero Punctuation), reviews, or toying around with computer software/hardware.

In case you were wondering, my ID is formed by reversing my real name, Sam Cole, to get masjeloc, then changing mas to math since I'm a math guy, and finally adding an s on the front since smath sort of sounds like smash, as in Smash Bros.

360/PC Crossplay in TF2? smathjeloc | 12:58 AM on 10.16.2007 8 comments

Does anyone have TF2 for 360 and can you play on PC servers (i.e., against PC users)? Supposedly this has already been implemented, but I haven't heard anything about it recently. BTW, feel free to add me as a friend. I play pretty often (username = smathjeloc).
