Hope everyone has a good one.

Newest member of KKi is Fr0z3n. He's the community event manager for TF2maps.net. I've had the chance to work with him on a number of their recent events and found him to be a bang-up guy (as are all KKi members).

As a reminder for all. Being in KKi just means you've agreed to listen to anything that somene else here comes to you with. - Just hearing them out is enough.
Even if you don't want to or can't help them out maybe you've worked with someone recently who'd be a good fit for their project..

Has been far too long since we had fresh blood here.
Foxy joins us from http://TF2Center.com which will be, if it's not already, the go-to location for those hunting for mixes.

Body: (International - March 15, 2012) - Celebrities are lining up to throw down for charity. Three lucky gamers who donate to Child’s Play Charity will have the chance to compete with the likes of Notch, Robin Walker and others, later this spring.
TF2 Mix-up has brought together some of the most exciting people in the gaming world for a Team Fortress 2 show match. The teams will consist of game developers, such as Robin Walker and Corey Peters (Valve), Nathan Purkeypile and Philip Nelson (Bethesda), and Markus ‘Notch’ Persson (Mojang), as well as online personalities like Yogscast, Veronica Belmont, Freddie Wong, and CaptainSparklez. TF2 Mix-up is asking the public to donate to the charity event, at tf2mixup.com, where three randomly selected donors will win a place in the match as well as signed merchandise from Valve and Bethesda .

“TF2 is my favorite game, hands down. I have spent way too much time organizing my (virtual) backpack and I can talk excitedly for hours about different strategies on Badlands. When new multiplayer games come out, I ask people if it has hats and carts. Those are the two most important things obviously. My office is also decorated almost entirely with TF2 posters and the Heavy Statue. I once even convinced a bunch of Bethesda people to dress up as TF2 characters for a TF2 themed party. Some people might say that I have a bit of an obsession... they are probably right.” - Nate Purkeypile (Bethesda developer)

This is the fourth TF2 Mix-up match of its kind. Donors have up until April 1 to be entered into the draw. The match will be held in private at a time and date that best suits all 18 competitors. Afterwards, the edited game will be released as a YouTube video on http://tf2mixup.com.

Everyone is welcome (and able) post in whatever they like in KKi. If you're working on a project and think anyone here may be able to help you out then just ask. You don't have to say "yes" to everything, but a little assistance can go a very long way.
