haha i remember doing the interview and podcast thing, but thought it was via this or xwis forum?
dunno maybe im wrong -_-
and as for the grays comment.
Heres how you should look at it
was i the best player? absolutely not
if you had pros like ray, dachs etc jump into mods and grind, at the time, they would demolish myself and any of the "top modders" at the time, because as we all know now, pros at WW destroy pros at mods.
In saying all that, they didnt play grays, they didnt play mods....i had some competition (sm0kn comes to mind) but otherwise I was untouched for the most part.
When I left to learn WW maps, it actually made me realize how little I actually knew, and made me so much better.
But at the time, for the players who only played on mods, I had very little competition.
