Have gun, will travel. I've seen the other side of 100MPH (legally!) on the German Autobahn, laughed myself silly with locals during the Thai water-splashing festival, dueled against Korean StarCraft players in Seoul (and lost badly), known the limits of joy and the sting of betrayal.

The one thing I haven't yet done? Meet you. Only one way to fix that! :D
