September Staff Spotlight!

Hello, and welcome to our September Staff Spotlight thread. This time we've got LX5. He's been Staff for a while, but hasn't gotten an interview yet! We're going to fix that today!

K3fka: Hello, LX5. How are you today?
LX5: I'm ok, kinda busy with university, but still alive on SMWC!
K3fka: Well that's good to hear. University kills too many of our dear members :'(
LX5: yeah, it's very sad
K3fka: Well at least you're surviving!
K3fka: (for now...)

K3fka: So one thing I've wondered about: What's the origin of your username?
LX5: I have been using my current username for at least 10 years (yes, that's a lot!).
K3fka: But where does it come from? Does it stand for anything?
LX5: I remember that I started using after I played Stunt Racer 64 because there was a character with a very similar name as my username
LX5: I have a pic, so wait a minute so I can find it!
LX5: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/67177523/origin.jpg
LX5: I actually didn't know where I choose my username until two years ago, I started investigating and that's what I find
LX5: it's kinda weird if you ask me LOL
K3fka: Haha, that's a bit unexpected
K3fka: Well now the mystery is solved, though!

K3fka: Moving on to actual hacking...You specialize in ASM. How did you get started there?
LX5: I read wiiq's block making tutorial, then I started making my ROM to crash with blocks and then started doing more complex things, it was so fun to learn
LX5: also, I started learning ASM because I once tried doing GFX and music, but failed miserably :P
K3fka: Wow, you're making me feel old. I remember wiiq's early days ;_;
LX5: rip wiiq ;-;
K3fka: But that's funny. I tried my hand at music once, myself, but it wasn't very good
K3fka: Yeah I miss him too

K3fka: So one thing I'm interested in is Proyecto Latino. I saw you released a demo at C3. What's the story with that project?
LX5: well, the story it's kinda long, I'll try to make it short:
LX5: it started some years ago (I believe more than 7 years...?) with a few spanish users who wanted to do a great collab hack, I don't remember who these people are, but they started doing levels and the overworld
LX5: I think the project went too far, but they needed ASM and other things and the hack wasn't finished. After some time they rebooted it and invited more members to participate in it
LX5: I didn't know about that project until 2012 I believe, it was being keep secret for some reason
LX5: then it got rebooted AGAIN, but this time it's almost complete!
K3fka: That's good. Collab hacks are very difficult to finish, especially when they're large-scale.
LX5: the almost all levels are done, we're doing some tweaking to the levels based on the feedback we got and anonimzwx and I are doing the ASM (mostly bosses)
LX5: yeah, I actually don't recommend doing a large-scale collab, they can last forever and that's not good
K3fka: *cough* SMWCP2 *cough*

K3fka: Anyway, how do you like being an ASM mod?
LX5: I really like it! Sometimes it can be a bit hard, especially if you join when a block remoderation is going on >.>
K3fka: Haha. At least that remoderation is done, though!
LX5: yeah!
LX5: also, dealing with Vitor is the hardest part of being an ASM mod *runs*
K3fka: This incident will be reported.
» LX5 hands over 1000 US dollars
LX5: nothing happened here ;)
» K3fka whistles

K3fka: Well, let's head into the random questions I guess!
K3fka: What's your favorite color?
LX5: Purple

K3fka: μ’s vs Aqours?
LX5: AAAAAAAAAA I can't decide, both groups have cute girls
LX5: but... if I take into account their songs, I'll go with μ’s
K3fka: Good ol' Snow Halation, right? ;)
LX5: nah, I prefer Love Wing Bell ;)
K3fka: Fair enough

K3fka: What's a country you'd like to visit?
LX5: Canada and Germany

K3fka: Favorite game soundtrack?
LX5: probably Bunny Must Die (the original soundtrack though, the remixed one isn't that good)
K3fka: Ah, I've yet to play that game, but I'd like to in the future.
LX5: it's pretty good!
K3fka: So I've heard
LX5: and try to beat my personal record
K3fka: Oh I will >;)

K3fka: Well I think that'll wrap us up. Any thoughts you'd like to share?
LX5: give me some monies to buy japanese μ’s toys
K3fka: Ok, then. You all heard the man!
K3fka: Well, see you next time
LX5: and don't do large-scale collabs, or at least don't be a leader, it can get you very stressed <.< you ask Najeraldo about that
LX5: alright, cya!
Congrats for getting September Staff Spotlight LX5.
Continue doing great ASM stuff like you do.

It has its highs and lows, sometimes the whole team is dead and sometimes there are huge wawes of work. I already got used to it, but yeah, it can get very stressing at first.

Congrats, LX5. Now get back to coding the bosses for PL
Congrants lx5, wena culiao xddxDxd

I haven't been paying attention to the collab since I finished the level I made a couple of years ago, but I'm glad it's almost complete.
congratulation for the spotlight
