It's been exactly one year to the minute since I last checked in. For everybody that was keeping up with his Alaskaworld Alco-skiing incident this year, he's okay.

For about three months, there was radio silence, but I was there by his side through thick and thin. Yes, that's right - I was there when he was diagnosed with Radial Warp. Yes, I was there when he was treated for Zygomatic Nerve Bend. Yes, I was even there when he had to undergo Cranial Impaction.

I'll get the bad news out of the way first: he looks and sounds different than he did before. His DNA has been altered at the nanomolecular level, and unfortunately his nose has indeed twisted.

The good news? This son of a gun has become the No.1 Ranked Demoknight in 4 states and 8 counties. You heard me.

He had a K/D of 58/0 just last week in a 1V8 comprised of 2 Spies, 5 Medics and a Heavy. The amount of flags that this guy captures is enough for make one question whether or not he's an insurrectionist.

The recovery is going well. I've been there every day to try and monitor his condition, and much to my (and everyone else's surprise), this guy is improving.

It started with helping to improve his aim with one of those "FPS aiming tools", and strapping him into an eye-tracking VR headset. Within mere minutes, he was eliminating his enemies' heads - popping them one by one; William Tell would've grinned wide in awe at the sheer accuracy of this guy's shooting.

But there was one big issue... Whilst, yes, he has become ludicrously good at popping heads, he's unfortunately... gotten worse at being a medic. I was in the kitchen just last night, and had dropped a comically large hammer on my shin. In agony, I cried out, "PLEASE, PLEASE, HELP ME!", to which this guy fell out of his iron maiden-like VR machine, slipped a disk and knocked himself unconscious. To say I was livid is an understatement.

Either way, I'm glad that he's able to walk around now.

Things have gotten... Worse.

This guy used to be a really good medic, but ever since the alcohol-related early-onset dementia took hold, things have gone incredibly downhill.

I tried to ask him recently, "Hey, Fridge! Remember when you pressed left-click and healed me?" but... He turned his model towards me and replied, "Where's my wife? Where's my uncle?".

It's incredibly sad, and I just don't know what to do. I can't help but give him -rep, as he can't even play games properly anymore. He's riddled with issues, and he just makes them worse for himself. We went on Sawmill recently and he just kept walking into the sawblade, saying, "Let it end, let it end." repeatedly.

I just played again with this guy. Idk what happened to him in the past two years but he's gone downhill. He spent the entire match talking about how his life has fallen to shambles, his wife, dog and uncle all left him for his accountant, and now he spends his days in a drunken stupor.

I for one am a big fan of searchable BIOSes - it makes life a lot easier.
