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 Is there a reason why the Dead Ringer doesn't produce a sound when it is fully charged? Can I make it beep?
None of the invisibility watches produce a sound for that matter.

comment Temporary download folder for Steam on Mac
Aren't you worried about file corruption that might cause Steam to choke again, resulting in all 11 GB having to be redownloaded anyway?

comment What are standard weapon builds for a Heavy?
Humorously, I often see Heavies fooling around with steak + GRU/Fists of Steel on my frequent servers.

comment Can a spy reach the shack outside the second spawn point in CP Granary?
Crouch jumps help you get to slightly higher platforms you couldn't otherwise reach with a normal jump (this is true of all Source games). It also increases the height of rocket and sticky jumps.
