sig: much thanks to Dr. F for the help with this sig

I usually prefer to play as Roland, but I currently working on my Hunter.

I am obsessed with collecting items. I like to collect guns with odd, ironic, disturbing, or otherwise odd names that are randomly generated, no matter whether either the gun or its title is common or not. I also just like to collect exceptional or unusual variants of guns of all sorts, whether I use them or not. Currently, my Soldier has about 1400-1500 guns in total (yes I did mod my bank), and the game is starting to take so long to load my bank that I am considering off loading to my other characters.

While I am an avid modder, I nonetheless am also a compulsive legit weapon hunter (or farmer as the case may be). I freely advocate for modding on a reasonable scale, but when it comes identifying legitimate permutations of weapons, I would be the first to admit that I am a stickler. Nothing ticks me off more than someone with a modded gun claiming it is legitimate despite evidence to the contrary, and you may see me often in the forums bringing evidence from WillowTree to bear on issues with varying degrees of tact.

My work in WillowTree
I do considerable work in WillowTree, both investigating theories and issues circulating on the Wiki and experimenting with my own initiative, but I also like to create and test my own custom firearms built in WT. I do not create or embrace game-breaking items, and I do not circulate what I make except among friends because I do not like to see modded stuff being passed off as legitimate in the online trading market and would hate to see any of my work fall into that category.

I also will sometimes relabel guns in WillowTree not for performance, but for amusement when the game cannot oblige me with the most interesting names. Examples to follow shortly I also like combining weapon components to create unusual or extreme attributes (except for damage, as too high damage weapons take the fun out of the game). Most of them could never appear in game, but I'll be damned if anyone will ever convince not to use my highly impractical "Rage Rage" that fires 13 round bursts at a 36.0 rof when I want to.

I'll add a gallery of this stuff for my own amusement, and on the off chance that maybe someone will actually see any of this if they bother to look at my user page.

Can you make something for me?
Yes I can, and would be happy to as long as it does not fall into the categories mentioned in the "OP Hax" section. Give me a general idea of what you want and I can probably tell you whether it will work or not. Giving me a set of specific codes is even better. Which brings me to...

The Skeve Philosophy of Modding
While I am all for modding for fun, I do not believe that modding should be used as a way of making the game easier, bypassing legitimate obstacles, or gltiching achievements and such. I mod because I have earned millions of XP, because I have killed the mother-f&%@ing worm a hundred times normally, and in short, because I like to make the game more interesting after I've played through most of it multiple times.

WillowTree guide
In order to clean up the page, I have decided to move the guide in progress to a new location on this page - thanks to Dr. F for help in creating it

Dr. HAX
Something you will inevitably see at some point or another in my editing is the figure of Dr. HAX. With his degree in Anti-Hacking Detection, DR. HAX serves as a metaphor of sorts for the part of me which violently detests people who hack irresponsibly or try to pass hax off as legitimate. Originally appearing in DasBoShit's The Gmod Idiot Box , a series of YouTube videos created using Garry's Mod, Dr. HAX has consistently been seen busting no-good hackers throughout the series, often showing up unexpectedly and suddenly to bring the computer monitor of justice down upon haxors (and often other just plain annoying people who deserve a monitor to the head).

Why I Don't Play as Lilith
If you are playing as her, you don't get to see this otherwise:



My Stance on Over-Powered (OP) Items


I define OP HAX as generally including Scorpio items, Stock Weapons, the Rose Omega shield, and everything where the person simply added double Shredder or Anarchy titles to increase damage through projectile count. These things are just stupid and give annoying people the ability to be even more annoying.

All the cool kids know how to beat the game without OP Hax.

OP Hax is not a solution to noobitus.

Improper use of OP Hax may result in having a large computer monitor flung at your head by Dr. Hax.

Attempting to pass OP Hax off as legit will result in loss of social status and Wiki credibility, temporary or permanent online bans and deletion of items.

Transporting, duplicating, or trading OP Hax is illegal in approximately 100% of the world.

EXCEPTION: OP Hax may be used to directly combat encountered online users of OP Hax, but only insofar as to negate their intended undue advantage, i.e. using Scorpio guns to destroy users of Rose Omega shields in duels if one is not a Hunter or does not possess a Vladof "Hax Buster" Vengeance sidearm

My favorite pages

 * Favorite page #1 http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/User:Skeve#
 * See the above, because it is worth it and is certainly not a shameless self promotion for someone who is totally not the same person as me even though he sounds and looks the same other than sporting a more pronounced mustache. It's full of high quality material which is sure to enhance your Borderlands life!
