"I'm a dark and evil muthafucka, JOE...They call me 'The Evil Muthafucka' where I'm from."

eezstreet is a coder who also refers to himself in third person. Despite spending a lot of time in Jedi Academy, eezstreet has focused efforts into Flash development, C++ game engines, and various experimental projects in mobile apps, C#, and reverse engineering older games and consoles. Notable mod projects include Jedi Knight Galaxies and Gunslinger's Academy. He also contributed (directly or via assistance) to Movie Battles II, Neo Dark Ages and Jedi Betrayal. Side projects include Jedi Knight 2 Uncut, an IRC client within JA (as a proof-of-concept which would also be implemented into SpiBot), Xbox 360 Controller support, and various other contributions to the coding community. He's fairly active within JA Coders as well.

Beliefs

eezstreet has held a high opinion that game developers need to focus on more thematic, realistic and emotional, story-driven elements, instead of focusing on the tactics of companies such as BioWare that build massive environments and stories that immerse you in them. Evidence for this belief has roots within Star Wars itself, which he feels can be seen as a story with a inner meaning which relates to books such as Frankenstein which serve as reminders that technology and science need not always be the core of the science fiction genre.

Personal Life

eezstreet rarely intertwines his Jedi Academy, modding, or programming lives with his personal life, and is mostly quiet and receptive in real life. It is believed that he suffers from a slight inferiority complex, though it has never been proven outside of several conjectures and observations from others. Physically, he suffers from congenital heart issues, which may give way to the theory of his inferiority complex. Fearing questions, snide comments from peers, and old wounds being brought back up, he rarely speaks, which is ironic since he is often outspoken within the JKHub community.

eezstreet's avatar reflects his musical tastes. His favorite band is Mushroomhead, despite never attending one of their impressive live concerts, and some of the other side projects of the various band members are considered top-tier to him. According to his Facebook page, he also enjoys Ventana, Iron Maiden, and Serj Tankian. He also holds a great appreciation for Shakespeare and classic novels. He's also a very large Diablo fan, preferring the first game over the others, and holding very little respect for the way the developers handled Diablo III. He is currently developing a Diablo clone of his own, and eventually wants to finish it. Some of his knowledge of modding Diablo II was useful when designing the code behind Jedi Knight Galaxies' inventory system.

eezstreet is progressively losing interest in Jedi Academy, due to the way the community reacts to his oft-misinterpreted posts and reactions to the mods that he's made. Recently, he posted a status update stating something to the effect of "Thinking about leaving this community", to which the first reply was "Nobody fucking cares." He has since gone on hiatus from Jedi Knight Galaxies in pursuit of other projects, including a Digital Design competition, ventures in mobile app development, and his own game engine, as well as finishing his education, with a degree in Software Design.
