An Interview With Canuck-eh

Pigmy: Describe how your pilot name came to be your pilot name.

Canuck-eh: Quite a while before joining the Rangers, I flew under the name Roids, the in-game messages that Roids killed so-and-so always got a laugh from everyone. When I joined the Rangers I was asked to come up with a less "colourful" nick so I chose Canuck. Shortly after choosing the nickname, another Canuck from Kali said that was his name and to stop using it. I challenged him to play 5 games winner gets the nick. I won 4 out of the 5 games and he relinquished the nick to me, whereupon I decided because he honoured the wager that I'd just add the -eh part after and let him keep his nick. He was quite grateful.

Pigmy: What drew you to the Descent Rangers in the first place, and who recommended you, if you remember.

Canuck-eh: I was playing online in Kali and noticed that all the best players seemed to come from Wildcards and the Rangers and I would hang out on their servers to solicit games from pilots waiting for a next round or wanting to warm up. I was about to join the Wildcards simply because their server had better ping, but after playing the Rangers for a bit more, I decided to go with them. I found the Rangers on my own and I'm glad I did.

Pigmy: How long have you been playing Descent for?

Canuck-eh: Started with the 7 level demo (Shareware) in October of 1995, beating the un-patched boss in level 7 was intense and apparently impossible for some.

Pigmy: What other kinds of games are you interested in?

Canuck-eh: Crysis, GTA, Minecraft

Pigmy: What hobbies interest you outside of Descent/Gaming?

Canuck-eh: Electronics, I eat, breathe, and sleep it. I do have a sizeable stamp collection and I love x-country skiing. Recently I found out I like working out in the yard so I built a tiered garden and a fire pit area. This Spring I will be planting vittles and fending off the deer that will maraud anything in a garden.

Pigmy: Would you recommend Descent to other people and would you recommend the Rangers to other people?

Canuck-eh: I try and get as many people interested in Descent as I can, and if I'm online and see a new pilot that has a good attitude and sportsmanship, I'll tell them about the Rangers and ask them to check us out.

If you can't sleep at night, it's because Nora hasn't taught you the rest skill. Sorry, I don't make the rules
