Questions
- What is day job?
I’m a software engineer, from the forums I gather that most people are nowadays so I’m going to specify that to that I develop planning software in Java and C++.- Aside from gaming how else do you like to spend your free time?
I like to go to the driving range to play some golf. I also regularly meet up with some friends to play board games and I watch quite a lot of tv shows and movies.- Biggest life adventure so far?
I haven’t had many adventures, but I the first thing that comes to mind is a budget holiday to Bali with a friend where nothing was really planned, just the plane ride there and back. Had a great time there and managed to get a roof over our head every night but it was a very different experience when compared to all inclusive beach holidays.
Apart from that, skydiving and bungee jumping was also very cool.- If you could pick anywhere in the world where you would love to travel to, where would it be?
I’m not really the traveling type, but I would love to visit the US at some point. I don’t have a clue to which part so if I ever go it will probably be a road trip to visit some the obvious touristic locations.
- Favourite food?
Pretty much anything that is unhealthy. I think that at the moment the Dutch dish Kapsalon (fries with donner, garlic sauce and lettuce) is pretty high up the list.- How did you find out about Orcs Must Die! ?
A friend played the first game and liked it and made me buy it in a Steam sale. I usually only play co-op games so I tried it and didn’t really ever finish it. When omd2 came out we both bought it and loved it so the moment I heard anything about omdu I bought a founder pack.- Who is your favourite OMDU hero and why?
I like Stinkeye the best. Up until the last patch he was a great hero to defend with and when you were set up with totems you could take down an attacking BlackPaw.
Since the patch with the new way of gathering leadership I find that I lean more towards picking Ivy though.- What do you think should be the “ideal” length of an OMDU match?
That’s a tough question. I think the 20 target that I think Robot is aiming for sounds like a good goal but the matches I like most are the ones that are a close call, they usually last longer.- Is there anything missing in OMDU that you would like to see added?
Until the last patch I would have said group queuing. I know a lot of people want an endless game mode but I think I am mostly missing a required tutorial (or a different way to force people to learn how to slot cards etc) and a way to make leavers not ruin a match.- When can we usually catch you in matchmaking?
Usually in the evenings somewhere between 8 and 10 CEST.Shout Out
- Is there anything you would like to say to all the OMD fans out there right now?
We have a great community in the EU so I’d like to thank them all for making the game a fun experience so far. And of course a special shout out to FaTeReLLa’s ‘dream team’
