It's that time again. That's right, time for the InstantAction blog Spotlight. This user is probably one of the most active and helpful on InstantAction. Constantly submitting bugs and helping out other users get up and running. Mim is one of a kind.

"A very long time ago, when I was... much shorter and a lot younger, I
came into contact with a Commodore 64 machine. A machine that had a
joystick that you could easily invert, simply by turning it 180
degrees. I still remember the huge floppy discs and the endless hours
of waiting on tapes with funky coloured screens, it totally rocked my
world and kept me busy for days and even years. That was until my uncle
made my gaming addiction even worse. The times of playing with
Lego was officially over and the Commodore soon found its way to a
dusty shelf! My uncle showed me cool stuff like Wolfenstein, Heretic,
Doom, Civilization, Settlers, Wing commander and all those golden
oldies, you can bet that seeing such a wide range of games piqued my
interest for games even more.
In the years following what my
uncle showed me, I bought several systems like an Amiga, Nintendo 8bit
(duck hunt p0w) and in the end the same sort of PC system my uncle
showed me games on. I basically went from Mario to Starcraft and from
Total Annihilation to Duke Nukem. You can say that over the years, I’ve
played my fair share of games.
During the years that followed,
my online gaming “career” pretty much kicked off. Games like Total
Annihilation, Boneyards (multiplayer service which was great btw), and
Allegiance followed, a space-sim shooter which featured some awesome
gameplay aspects. Luckily for me (well especially my father) we got
cable after awhile which opened up the world of online gaming even
more. Not much later, THE game came, the game that made Counterstrike
look like a wrecked car... that game was Tribes 2. It was new, looked
good and was like nothing I’d seen or played before. Not long after I
started playing, my Tribes 2 career was the only thing I was
interested in. I played a few teams in a competition environment and I
still remember the days like it was last week. (shout out to my
hindsight/df/et homeboys!)
Besides having games as a point of
interest, I’m also an avid fan of watching movies. That combined with
hanging around with my friends, appreciating the female form and
enjoying a wide range of music basically sums up my idea of fun. After
finishing my IT study (probably the reason why I like helping people
out on the troubleshooting section 
) I changed the course I was heading and switched to a marketing/management study which I am enjoying quite a lot at the moment.
I
really believe in the potential that Instant Action has, as a gaming
platform. Besides being enthusiastic about Instant Action, there is
ofc ourse (you could have guessed) Legions but we will probably have to
wait a little longer before the beta kicks off on that one. In the
meanwhile if you wish to talk or just hang out, add me on IA (Mimelim)
and slap me around in Think Tanks, crush bugs or simply start up some
good conversations. (for conversations you could also join #legions on
irc.quakenet and talk to me there )
Well, thats basically it! Hope to talk to you all soon!
Cheers,
Mim

We love you Mim!
