<ManlyPotato> Good morning! How are you?
<Shook> GREETINGS HELLO
<Shook> I'm quite fine thank you. A bit cold but such is life in the winters.......
<ManlyPotato> So lets begin this interview. Who are you?
<Shook> I AM shook. But my real name's Søren, Or Sören, Or Soeren, Depends on how much you hate ø and ö. I'm a 21 year old dude from Denmark who doesn't do a lot at the moment. Before i did not a lot, i studied geology and got stressed to all fuck so there's that
<ManlyPotato> Ok. Now how did you come across Toribash and when?
<Shook> ohhhhh boy that was..... 7 years ago? Found it on Fun-Motion Thought like "OH SNAP THIS LOOKS COOL". Turns out it was :v Can't remember exactly when i played it first, but my join date says January 16th 2007 or something
<ManlyPotato> Good, good.
<Shook> oog oog
<ManlyPotato> So I doubt many of us who joined toribash in the beginning had a smooth transition from singleplayer to multiplayer to forums. How was either for you and what have you been doing across those years?
<Shook> WELL NOW. I started in singleplayer, obviously, then at some point i tried multiplayer a wee bit then i was like "NO" and ragequit. But then i came back to multiplayer again and played things like classic, TK and kickboxing, then i found wushu and that was cool for a while. And then i also came to the conclusion that this was silly as well. Since then i have pretty much stuck to singleplayer. Transition to forum was fairly straightforward, I was super polite and careful to begin with Now i am totally a huge dick with sandpaper skin of abrasion y'know?
<Shook> all the time
<Shook> ever
<ManlyPotato> I do. So you're mainly known as a singleplayer dude. And a fairly good one at that, what was your inspiration for them?
<Shook> Inspiration? "OK LETS DO THIS" *replay* and then sometimes magic happens. Sometimes i feel the mojo of Make A Replay Dammit wash over me But it's super infrequent now
<ManlyPotato> And what about ORMO? You are the current leader now, what’s your history with it?
<Shook> Well i joined it back near the beginning of it, then i hung out with people because they were pretty cool, then i got recruiterness, then i got co-leaderness, and then larfen passed his ball of power to me
<ManlyPotato> And no one knows what the future holds I guess
<Shook> nnnnnnnope although i'm looking for the next leader. I'm not doing a lot to be honest :I
<ManlyPotato> Maybe me ;o
<Shook> ;o
<ManlyPotato> Now lets get on with it, you were even in the defaults one time. So you got pretty famous, did the extra praise affect you or was there any?
<Shook> Well i didn't see many effects of any fame. Got an extremely occasional PM from random people saying YO I KNOW YOU YO Besides that, not much I don't consider myself above anyone else :v
<ManlyPotato> What do you think of Toribash and it's surrounding community now as opposed to when you started?
<Shook> It has grown like all fuck with tons of new people, both cool and less cool. Toribash itself has also gotten somewhat cooler, especially the graphics Although i think there are too many slight variations of colours in the shop :U
<Shook> But the fact that it's free now is pretty rad DID YOU KNOW IT USED TO COST $20
<ManlyPotato> 20 WHOLE DOLLARS!?
<Shook> 20 ENTIRE DOLLARS
<ManlyPotato> WOWEE
<ManlyPotato> Anything that you see as worse?
<Shook> Well, besides the fact that some cool people have left the community, not really. Maybe the horrid inflation of the economy? :v Also devaluation of texture items maybe,
but that's just me being a whining oldfag
<ManlyPotato> Always on the positive side, well you're also a person outside Toribash. What hobbies do you have outside of it?
<Shook> OUTSIDE of Toribash? I play games :v Besides that, me and a friend are also developing a game called Angry Laser Space which i'm sure every single person ever knows of
<ManlyPotato> What is angry laser space about?
<Shook> VERTICAL SCROLLING SPACE SHOOTY GAME. It's about shooting things and not dying at the same time you control a space ship and you fight aliuns *originality* Of course there are more finesses but that's beyond the scope of this i think :v
<Shook> And then i also dabble in drawing things
<ManlyPotato> That is pretty original, now what about your ms paint drawings?
<Shook> well yeah i draw things from time to time, mostly for shits and giggles. Started out way back some years ago by TRYING to make sprites for Cortex Command mods, trying and failing pretty hard though :v
<Shook> But i didn't give up and after maybe months i started seeing some kind of progress And then now it's what, 4-5 years later?
<ManlyPotato> something like that
<Shook> Got a tablet somewhere in between now and then and then i doodled
<ManlyPotato> Any good examples of your doodles?
<Shook> GOOD examples? Well, relatively speaking......
<Shook>

<ManlyPotato> These are pretty nice, not ms paint though, I see you branched out.
<Shook> gone full GIMP yo ;o
<Shook> Although MS Paint is still a thing they just tend to look more like this
