Joe Mackie

He's Guts, the lead character in Berserk. Born from a corpse and raised by mercenaries, he has become a warrior of immeasurable power. Guts once survived a battle against one hundred men, all on his own. He lives for battle, no matter the odds. Like Guts, I enjoy a good challenge. After all, there's no greater feeling in gaming than pushing one's skills to the very limit.
Joe joined up with GamingWorldX shortly after the official site launch in February of 2002. Joe has brought numerous ideas to the site, including the implementation of avatars. He is also our most active forum member. When Joe isn't playing or writing about videogames, which is rare, he's probably enjoying a good roleplaying session or watching some anime. Although Joe and Sonny have frequent arguments, Joe Mackie is truly what GamingWorld X is all about. He's the local cynical bastard, and he's also managed to become editor-in-chief of our beloved GameCube department. Joe is in college, and hopes to write about games for a living in the near future.

I almost always play the thief. There's just something fun about lurking in the shadows, waiting until exactly the right moment to strike.
