Eden Wirefly-

Eden Wirefly just happens to be one of the many aliases used by Jordan Schilling. He also uses the name “Ophelion” for his music side project and in certain MMO’s.

Jordan is an alum of C.F. Brewer High School in White Settlement, TX. He was a member of NHS, a marching band section leader, multi-instrumentalist for jazz band, and graduated in the top 5% of his class. He also earned a blackbelt in Kihido karate at 15.

Currently speaking, he is a Music-turned-Business Major at the University of North Texas in Denton, TX. He is a proud member of Mu Epsilon Kappa, the UNT Green Brigade, and one of the founding members and lead guitarist of the instrumental rock/fusion band “Working Title”. He plays tuba, trombone, bass, electric and acoustic guitars, and a little bit of piano.

Jordan Schilling’s favorite video game genres are fighting, racing, action-adventure, and FPS, but he thoroughly enjoys getting his feet wet in other genres . Though he personally leans toward the classic, older games, some of his favorites include Starcraft, Serious Sam II, Guilty Gear XX #Reload: The Midnight Carnival, Metroid Prime, Tomb Raider: Anniversary, Ikaruga, Soul Calibur II, Diablo II, Prototype, Jet Set Radio Future, Star Fox 64, Sonic Adventure 2, Vectorman, Shining Force, Secret of Mana, American McGee’s Alice, Burnout: Revenge, Wipeout 3, Comix Zone, Galaga, Actraiser, Contra, Battletoads, The Legend of Dragoon, Dynasty Warriors 3, Twisted Metal 4, Extreme G 2-3, Resident Evil 4, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Lineage II, Super Metroid, Megaman X, Megaman Battle Network 2, Pokemon: Silver Edition, SNK VS Capcom, Dead or Alive 4 and NFS Carbon.

If he was a character in a video game, his theme would be Dream Theater’s “Never Enough”.

OriginOfBob-

OriginOfBob has too many other names to list, but you’re allowed to know about Luke the Tatum.

He graduated from a high school in a state which may or may not be Texas. He was involved in a handful of things, but the only one that’s been declassified is his involvement with the marching band.

Currently, OriginOfBob is an English major at the University of North Texas in Denton, TX. He is a member of a few groups and organizations (none of them recognized by the university). He is also mastermind and founder of Grey Chamber Games, an independent game development company, of which Astringent Gaming is a part. He plays drum set and is learning bass guitar.

Rumors lead us to believe that OriginOfBob’s favorite video game genre is strategy, both real-time and turn-based. He considers himself a “zen” gamer, however, and is open to any innovation in any genre. He’s been playing games for very nearly the entirety of his (natural) life. Some confirmed favorites of his are Starcraft, Half-Life (all of them), Advance Wars, Contra, Metroid Prime, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2, Shogo, Star Fox 64, Unreal Tournament 2004, Megaman 2, Megaman X, Raiden (I and II), Cave Story, Shadow of the Colossus, Chrono Trigger, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Doom, Tetris, Fallout (1, 2, and 3. Tactics can suck it.), Dwarf Fortress, Team Fortress 2, Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2, Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, Command and Conquer: Generals, XIII, Jets’N'Guns, Baldur’s Gate (1 and 2), Beyond Good & Evil, and The Longest Journey.
