I’m obsessed with learning the development history of something and personalities behind it.

Hard to point at something outside of video games, as my main hobby always was modding and editing in games. Outside of video games, what other hobbies do you enjoy? It's still fun to play after all these years. So I’d say Space Rangers 2, a multi-genre sandbox space sim game from 2004.

What is your favorite game of all time?Īnswering Arma would be too easy and too obvious. I usually have a game and development setup running so I can jump back into development at any time. Though, most of it is simply having the game running while doing something else. What is your current Arma 3 playtime?ġ9,671 hours in Steam. I really loved editor capabilities and spent most of my time with it. I heard about Operation Flashpoint (OFP) from my older brother and read reviews of it in magazines, but didn’t have good enough PC back then and actually played it only a few years later. I got signed up and got to shoot a low caliber rifle, all on the same day! Totally free, didn’t even need any permission from parents, that’s 90's Russia for you. I was 11 years old, I was roaming around the neighborhood on my own and went into a random open basement door, which turned out to be a shooting range youth club kind of place.
