He has a DSL showcase [http://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,2904.0.html here], a stock showcase [http://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,2925.msg84492.html here] and an Ironforge showcase [http://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=17779.0 here].

He is very helpful around the forums and also contributes to the wiki. He hosted [[Wheely Tag]] after [[Mouldy King Bash]] experienced technical problems. He has become known as the Tournament Paramedic, helping members through tournaments by AI'ing bots and/or making splashes and/or filming matches. He has done this for [[Terror Twisters]], [[Combat Clusters]], [[Chinese Whispers]], [[Mechapocalypse]], [[Micro Mayhem Reincarnated]], [[XBW]] and [[Xtreemer Than You]]. As mentioned previously, he took over [[Wheely Tag]] completely. He later completed his own tournaments [[Back to the Beginnings]], and the sequels, [[Back To The Beginnings#BTTB 2|BTTB 2]], [[Back To The Beginnings#BTTB 3|BTTB 3]] and [[Back To The Beginnings#BTTB 4|BTTB 4]]. Became Tournament Mod in October 2011 and remains so despite numerous spells of inactivity. [[Back To The Beginnings#BTTB V|BTTB V]]is currently being hosted.
