The King’s Eighth has been playing games since he first picked up that wonderful orange and grey zapper gun from Nintendo’s Duck Hunt. Ever since then video games have been an item that would consistently show up in birthday presents, Christmas presents, and bought from saving up his meager allowance. The King’s Eighth grew up with Abyssus Aeqoureus enjoying many of the same games. The King’s Eighth enjoys playing almost any type of video game.

In high school The King’s Eighth become good friends with The River Salmon. In particular they both shared the same interest in Half Life 1, playing many dethmatches after school. Soon The King’s Eight, The River Salmon, Shadow Syndicate, and Abyssus Aeqoureus, became close friends through the medium of video gaming.
