Jackknife Johnny’s Player profile (January 2009)

 

DOB: Sometime in 1973
Location: Somewhere in Lincolnshire, UK

TF2 purchased: September 2008
Reason for purchase: A few beers and handy Steam download. What the hell!

 

 

Main classes played: Medic, Engineer and Pyro. I played a lot of Soldier when I first started, and I’m also playing some sniper now. But CrazyDon and Dazman (to name two of many) make it incredibly frustrating sometimes by their constant sniping. I then have to go back to Medic and Uber their asses with Sponge!

 

Not yet got into playing Heavy, Spy or the annoying Demoman!

 

Lazytown, why Lazytown! I just stumbled across it by accident one evening due to getting a good ping. I instantly enjoyed the map, due to it being easy to remember! A couple of goes later and Dazman caught me with the growing (>Nutter<) net! From that point on, gaming means playing Lazytown, preferably with other like minded (>Nutters<)!

 

Style of play: I like to think of myself as an attacker. This accounts for my extremely high death rate (that’s my excuse anyway). While playing medic I like to be healing upfront. I can then usually be seen typing ‘damn’ as I’m sniped with a headshot just as I’m about to uber The Cleaner!

 

Hours of play: Daily, usually 8pm till 11 or 12. Would like to keep playing in to the early hours but kids and work get me up at 6am! Beers are usually restricted to Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, hic! (game play possibly affected)

 

Personal: I’m a family guy with two young kids (9 months and 5 years). They and my partner (not marriedJ) help keep me sane and very busy and also stop gaming ruining my life! I enjoy building and tinkering with PCs and helping friends/family out with theirs. Work wise, I work as a production/quality manager for a company that specialises in the high pressure preservation of timber.
