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):

The Ratchet & Clank franchise, by Insomniac Games, who are awesome.
The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. I often prefer Knuckles to Sonic though, for some reason.
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.
The RollerCoaster Tycoon franchise, originally created by the talented Chris Sawyer, who is also awesome.
Team Fortress 2, my favorite class being tf2-spy (although I main as tf2-pyro).

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

Jun 4	comment	Is a ride of a type you already have just as effective as any? Technically, the merry-go-round itself can be considered its only part (excluding the entrance and exit), since you can modify it with the construction tool just as with any other ride.
May 22	comment	What happens when I block someone on Steam? @GnomeSlice: Ah, OK.
May 22	comment	What happens when I block someone on Steam? "I blocked my friend whilst on skype with him." Wait, what?
May 13	comment	How are Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon related That's an excellent analogy.
May 7	comment	Rollercoaster Tycoon screen tearing The version that is sold by GOG is RCT Deluxe which includes CF and LL, so the patch branch OP is looking for is 1.20, not 1.08.
May 7	comment	What is a 'crab', and how does one perform/obtain one? Spy, do you even crab?
Apr 29	comment	How do I play against GLaDOS in Poker Night 2? tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SequelDifficultySpike
Apr 24	comment	Does Origin support Spore? @Brant: The original question as stated is about playing Spore from Origin. It never said anything about getting the game to run on Windows 7 specifically. I don't think the quoted response changes the meaning of the question in any way.
Apr 24	comment	Can you check your progress before moving to next stage? aka save scumming.
Apr 23	comment	Warcraft 3 obtain phat lewt in early Orc stages @Sadly Not: I see what you did there.
Apr 17	comment	Finding Grenade launcher ammo for getting a relic on Research base I realize that "port" may be an abbreviation of "teleport" here, but I feel tempted to edit it to "fast travel".
Apr 17	comment	How exactly does the “Strange Part: Domination Kills” count? "Increases if the actual domination just so happened to take place on an assist" Considering that the item description specifically states that it tracks "the number of enemies you dominate by killing them with that weapon", I doubt it.
Apr 17	comment	How can I tell what glowy-ring buffs the enemy team currently has? @Retrosaur: Done.
Apr 14	comment	How can I tell what glowy-ring buffs the enemy team currently has? @Russell Whitchurch: Sorry, I've rolled back your edit. While formatting improvements are generally OK, it's not appropriate to completely replace somebody else's answer with your own writing and formatting. Plus, I do not feel comfortable taking credit for something I didn't write. If you want to post your own answer, please do so.
Apr 12	comment	Pressing 'e' does not work at the beginning of the game @tombull89: Both should work...
Apr 12	comment	Does “Bonk! Atomic Punch” cancel out fall damage? The Scout can attack by taunting if he has the appropriate weapon equipped, but he can't do so the conventional way (primary fire).
Mar 25	comment	Are some of the challenges/treasures possible to miss forever? "They've done a great work, instead, in hiding in plain sight your goals." Mmph hrhrrmph.
Mar 25	comment	Rocket Launcher vs. Black Box @Yawus: Oh. You can still be overhealed by a Medic, but the Black Box itself won't overheal you if you score a hit with it while at full health. I'll clarify this in my answer...
Mar 24	comment	Rocket Launcher vs. Black Box @Yawus: I just joined a game and tried... it's not possible. There hasn't been a recent patch that changed this behavior either (if there were, my game would have updated itself first).
Mar 19	comment	What different backstabbing techniques are there? Thanks! I'm assuming as a Pyro my best bet is to keep a distance with airblast and use flares to kill...
