About me

Known elsewhere on the Internet (including Steam and the rest of Stack Exchange) as BoltClock, I'm a teen software developer who relishes hacking PHP on the Web, C# on his PC and Objective-C on his Mac. I adore math, Jesus, Apple and π, but not apple pie!

I'm not a hardcore gamer by any rate, but I do play some games. Puzzle's probably the genre that gets me the most.

My 5 most favorite games of all time (so you may see me patrolling these tags most often):

  1. The Ratchet & Clank franchise, by Insomniac Games, who are awesome.

  2. The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. I often prefer Knuckles to Sonic though, for some reason.

  3. The reboot of the Tomb Raider franchise. Admittedly, I was never interested in Lara Croft's previous capers, but Crystal Dynamics was right: I'm really captivated by the idea of going through this brand new, character-building adventure of survival with a fellow (albeit fictitious) human being.

  4. The RollerCoaster Tycoon franchise, originally created by the talented Chris Sawyer, who is also awesome.

  5. Team Fortress 2, my favorite class being (although I main as ).

Check out my site. Read my tech blog. Follow me on Twitter (if you dare).

comment Pyro Tactics and Tips?
Doesn't mean you shouldn't use it if it's going to save your ass (or your Medic's). Sure it doesn't run down as fast if you use flames, but you have to get pretty close to do that.

@Nicholas1024: Yeah it takes a little getting the hang of, but I deflect most grenades to neutralize them more than anything else, really.

comment What's the secret to playing Pyro?
+1 General tips are always nice, and even I think I can benefit from yours (particularly hitboxes, retreat and scavenging), so thank you for them! I still think my answer doesn't belong here, but oh well, at least 30 upvoters disagree.

What are these "certain situations" you speak of?

comment What does the “Enable Glow Effect” checkbox do?
Don't only ScoRes stickybombs glow like the payload and intel, though? Or are you referring to the pulses emitted by all stickybombs?

comment How does Wheatley recover after GLaDOS's crush?
It's not just his eye. His entire shell is also damaged, however it wasn't damaged beyond repair.

comment How to perform TF2 taunt kills effectively?
@Powerlord: The stabbing maneuver only stuns as far as I know. He can miss that, but still hit someone else walking by when he pulls the arrow back. That takes a little longer. But if someone does get stunned then it's a guaranteed kill unless the victim or the Sniper himself is removed.

@Dave McClelland: Wow, that'd be awesome if the servers I went to allowed spectating in the first place.

Sometimes even retry doesn't guarantee you your slot. I tried this on popular servers and I get kicked out with "Server is full." That said, it works much of the time.
