 CannonBalls is the webmaster of Brood War Dynasty and the soon-coming Blizzard Dynasty. Klimyardhad a chance to interview him. Klimyard's questions will be in Purple while CannonBalls answeres will be will be in White.Ok, here we go. Tell us about yourself. Things like age, where you live, and what you do.
I live in Albany NY, about 3 hours from NYC. I'm 15 years old, and I do computers and school :-)
Why did you start Brood War Dynasty?
I started Brood War Dynasty because their were no other sites just focusing on Brood War material, and we can't have those looking for information on the biggest expansion be left in the dry, no can we?
No of course not. That makes a lot of sense, since the first all Brood War site I saw was your very own Brood War Dynasty. What other sites do you work at?
I work at more of a personal website with Agent911, called I Can't Win!
Ok, this brings up my next question... How did you and Agent911 get to know each other?
We met in Kali one night, and we just began talking I suppose. We started talking about my website, and we ended up talking for hours.. and ever since, we've been "tight" :)
Oh really? I have e-mailed Agent numerous times trying to get him to notice me :)
Anyways, back to the community, What other sites do you like to look at?
I visit Battle.net, Blizzard.com, SC.org, WC.org, Infoceptor, DII.net, DII.com, and most of the forums daily.
Hmm, mostly all of the site I look at. Ok How do you feel about viewers of ICan'tWin.com spamming hate words about you?
Oh, I sit back and laugh, the reason is because I used to take things personally, but I don't anymore. I've realized that the internet is just for fun, and things shouldn't be taken seriously.
When did you start this whole web page stuff? And why?
I started working on webpages nearly 4 years ago, basically because I was mezmerized at what I could do with it. I was just engulfed in all this technology, and I told myself I'd try my hardest to get into and it, explore, learn, and try to master it.
Wow, when I didn't know web pages, I just looked at them the same way you did, but didn't do anything about it. The past year I finally tried though, used FrontPage, and look where I am ;)
Heh.
Who is you faverite online player? Or do you have one?
I admire Maynard, Zileas, Dudey, and probably the most.. Agent911.
I see.
Do you plan to one day work for Blizzard? Why?
Do I plan to? I hope everyday I'll get a job in this industry.. if I worked at Blizzard, that'd be even better. Why? Well, I have a strong passion for games, and for computers. Frankly, they fascinate.. and it's a mind-boggling idea for me to work / play with these things all day long and get paid good money for it.
Why is the Blizzard Dynasty being born?
Well, we're building Blizzard Dynasty because we can't avoid the inevitable, that Starcraft and Brood War's popularity and age are wearing thin, and besides the fact we have a passion for all the other Blizzard Entertainment games out there.
A lot of one-game sites are now turning into all Blizzard gaming sites. What do you think of this issue?
I think that a lot of them are doing this for the same reason we are.. except we're getting a lot of that "You're following the crowd.." when in actuality, we were planning on going to Blizzard Dynasty LONG before Shakuras, Infoceptor, Warcraft.org.. you'll see why it needed so much planning and dedicated workers when it opens.
Do you plan to ever leave the community that is Blizzard? Why or why not?
I don't have any plans to, simply because I've got a list of about 45 games, some new some old, and none of them could even compare to any of Blizzard's games. I just love the games, and I have a passion for the company.. and I'd like to continue to devote my websites to them. It pays off..
It does. Completely.
I think thats it :) Thanks for your time CannonBalls, it was a pleasure. :)
Oh and be sure to visit Infoceptor everyday, for about 20 times :)OK! :)
See ya.
