August 2017: Very out of date, but leaving it here for fun.

2008

Hi everyone! Let me introduce myself...

I am DJ Hirko. I graduated from Full Sail with a Bachelor of Science of Game Design and Development. The design part is kind of a misnomer, as it's almost all about programming. Check out Ultimate Fairy Battle, which was my Final Project at Full Sail.

I'm a multiplayer/networking programmer for Volition, working on Red Faction: Guerrilla.

I'm always willing to help out other programmers who need a hand or those who are interested in the games industry, so if you need anything, leave a message on my UserTalk page or AIM me at Nihir Nighthawk. Even if you're just getting started, I don't mind helping.

I'm a hardcore gamer, both video and board/card. Many thanks to my friend Kyle for helping me fix my userboxes.

My Wikipedia Status edit

I'm an Inclusionist Wikipedian, and generally vote to keep articles, rather than deleting them. Just because a subject is not "Wikipedia notable" doesn't mean there shouldn't be an article on it. Wikipedia is a repository of information and should not be artificially limited by those who aren't interested in a topic. I've begun archiving pages that are up for deletion that I believe will be deleted, but knowledge will be lost by their deletion. You can find my archive here.

I maintain Full Sail Real World Education, as it's my alma mater. I don't have an eye for design, so when I create articles, they generally won't be pretty. I do more small-scale editing than anything else, though I have done some overhauls of articles, including creating new ones.
