'''Blake "SpiderWaffle" Piepho''' does not actively compete in [[GoldenEye 007|Goldeneye]] or [[Perfect Dark]], but has contributed strategic ideas to Goldeneye that have saved many seconds on the rankings.  He discovered the [[Caverns]] SA mine throw for Objective B, the [[Infiltration]] "super bug toss" and the [[Surface 2]] "shoot through the window get the last camera" strategies.  He also has many other contributions that usually truly push the game to its limits.  While some ideas are too unreliable to practically integrate into normal play, many have found their way into tool-assisted runs of the game.  He is active on the [[The Elite|Elite]] forums and GE/PD TAS forums contributing help for speedrunners.

Blake is also an avid and currently active player of the Half-Life mod Team Fortress Classic.  He plays for top ranked American clans and was selected to represent the United State’s national team for attack/defend style of maps.  He is considered by many to have been the best player ever for attack/defend and the best soldier trick jumper.

For an interesting half hour, feel free to IM Swaff at "SpiderWaffle" on AIM and ask for his thoughts on the United States government.
