Hola, Memb. We all know you as a professional streamer and Black Forest player. While you might have said most you will tell in this interview on your stream already, I think 99 % of the people reading this interview have not watched that much of your stream to know everything.
(That’s my wife and me on our balcony, but before people go crazy, I live in a “cheap” place in Spain because we are in a small city. It’s not my house, it’s my wife’s house. This view was a good reason to keep going out with her when we met for the first time, Kappa.)
Let’s make this interview a bit more unpredictable and start with a question only Edie dared to ask: When you were young (and not in a relationship yet), how many girls could you get per month?
I never kept track of those things, sometimes none, sometimes few. Honestly, I don’t think people really care about that, I never did, I don’t know.
So already a bit of a fail on my side now. But no Titanic yet. We can still make this a Victoria (Magellan’s ship to circumnavigate the world for the first time. Spanish too).
How old are you now? And what did you do before AoE?
I’m 41 years old, before AoC I did a lot of things, as you can imagine. I was born in the city of Almería, but have lived in a few other cities during my life. Actually, I came back to Almería when I was around 18 years old, in my last year of high school in Spain, the middle of the last year to be more precise. Was a really tough one because I left all my childhood friends behind. Sadly, most of them I’ve never seen again. I have kept the friends I made when I was 18 though, you know those that you consider friends forever even if you only see them once a year.
About me, I studied Economics and then did teach at the university, loved 2nd one, dislike the 1st one, during the years I have studied that was basically 8-10 years, I was working at the same time as lifeguard during summers, I was working at a restaurant as a waiter on weekends and special days. I remember in the evenings being in the class and getting a phone call, Dani, I need you in 2 hours. Worked as mailman, I worked doing buildings, think the correct one is as builder? Worked selling insurances, was working in a casino. That one was a tough one, was close to 2 years and I was working from 20 to 4 am and then wake up at 8 to go to university. My free days were Monday and Tuesday during 2 years and then on Saturday, I was working from 20 to 6 am and on Sunday from 14:00 to 4-5 am, depending on the summer/winter time, like this during 2 years, so you start to know from where I get the energy to stream as I do. I have worked a lot in my life, had to do it because we are 4 brothers, with only 1 salary from my dad. I might forget some stuff but I think in general this is enough for who is reading this.
When and how did you start playing Age of Empires 2? Have you played Age of Empires 1/3?
I think I started just when it was released. I was playing with my high-school friends and brothers most of the times in LAN with them. Those were the best moments, like when you are innocent as a kid and you enjoy 200 % of everything. It was the same feeling back in the days. I don’t remember about Age 1/3, maybe I tried them once or twice.
What are your hopes for Age of Empires 4?
Well I have really big expectations for AoE II Definitive Edition but about Age 4 I don’t know since I know nothing about it. I hope they make a good product, because it’s needed.
In which clans have you been and in which tournaments have you participated?
I started in FOPT, Fruit of the Poisonous Tree. I was there forever, only really “left” when it totally died. I joined ArgoNauT next which had DauT in it among many other top players. I wasn't one of the top although I reached 2k on MS Zone but the system was different there as the nickname had a combined ELO for all games, 1v1 and TG. I think Dreams, the Finnish legend was with me in FOPT too, and some others.
I always participated in RTS clans, back in the day when it was so popular, but other than that I didn't try to be an expert, maybe I also can't be one if even if I try, so who knows. When I was in FOPT, we did a lot of tournaments, but I was mostly a viewer there. I only organised a big 2v2 Black Forest cup that DauT and Rami won vs. Colin and Dan (2 British brothers, with Chinese parents) former “trash” clan. The 1st game was the longest I remember in the competitive scene, over 6 hours and no wood left, Spanish vs Celts war, I’m sure DauT remembers it.
Why did you choose the AoE nickname “Memb/Membrillo“?
It comes from FOPT, you needed a fruit or candy nick to join, so I chose Membrillo, from “dulce de membrillo” you gotta try it, it tastes so good.
We will talk about streaming as a profession later again, but let’s provide this first:
What is your stream link?
https://www.twitch.tv/membtv. I'm thinking about changing the name, not sure yet, but I might go with just Memb.
How frequently and at which times do you stream?
I stream every day, with few exceptions. I cover every single event, most of the time LIVE, though if for whatever reason I can’t not live I do recorded games. Other than that, I can come streaming when my real life lets me, so you must be ready 24/7 :D.
Can you estimate how many hours in total you have spent streaming?
Well, I started streaming at the end of 2013, streamed a lot on VooblyOfficial and also on my FOPT_Membrillo channel, but I can tell that since I got my actual bot, 05 July 2015, I have 4935.8 hours on FOPT_Membrillo and since I switched to MembTV, 24 February 2017, it says 10195.9 hours that make over 15 000 hours without counting streams on Youtube, I did a lot during Nations Cup 2017, and some few days that bot was down and I needed a backup, so you can estimate how much I have streamed AoC.
What is special about your stream, why should it be watched?
If I say it here it would lose how special it is. It’s definitely a special stream, but to watch it and get deeply into it, you need to watch more than 1 and 2 times, then you might really know how special it is, maybe you won't still like it, but if you do like it, you probably won't regret that decision (it’s a meme in my channel) hehe, I’m there to entertain everyone including myself and that is what I try, I’m honest, there is no fake, sometimes that brings me problems, but well, I’m like that.
May I add something? I have not watched many streams in 2017 and 2018, but when I compared your stream to others in 2015 or 2016, I have to say that your two strongest points were the passion and the interaction with the viewers, which was not so common back then. Also, of course covering almost every tournament was a plus.
Back to your private life. As much as you want to share. We all know you are married and father of two young children. What exactly has caused your decision to become and stay a professional AoE streamer? How often did you regret it? And how often did you think about abandoning streaming? Due to what?
I never thought becoming a professional streamer, I don't know if I can consider myself professional with the complete meaning this word has, since professional is when you get a contract and people pay you for some task that they demand. I’m an individual that has a partnership with Twitch, but that doesn't make me a professional streamer. That said, I try to be a pro mostly in tournaments, then I just try to entertain, so there is a different POV in my stream. I started to stream because I had really bad moments in my real life, something that affected to my health, was doing pretty bad, then I came back to AoC to have some fun.
One day I saw a red symbol on Voobly, I don't remember who it was, but probably was Katsuni. I clicked it and checked it out, I’ve loved this game since I can't remember, immediately the thought came to my mind “I want to stream, I want do this, I can do it”. I messaged him, was before November 2013, I think October or something, I was checking my AoCZone and I only have this http://prntscr.com/kx3p6m from November 2013. He answered me very nicely, and we got good chemistry pretty quickly, don’t remember when but I started to co-cast with him very quickly, and well, I remember those times like some of the best moments in my streaming life.
I don't know if regret is the proper word, but I’ve had some bad moments, yes, and since I’m so passionate when I care for something, it’s for good and for bad. I have thought leaving streaming, yes, because when I stream I love it because I never got that feeling when going to work and thinking, pfff I have to go there again. I’ve had that feeling a few times and that made me think, Memb, this is not working. Why? Well the Maldives thing did a lot of damage to Katsuni and me. Back then my channel was partnered but very small, not that now it is huge, but compared to what it was. I almost stopped streaming, Katsuni left streaming/internet for a long time, and I started to focus on my channel 100 % and that is when MoA3 hype came around. Master of Megarandom, Nomadness, Arabia Invitational that I could not stream live but streaming recorded games was getting a lot of viewers, and well, I moved on and kept streaming.
Then I got disappointed again when I joined Escape the 1st time, for several things, everything was different than it was said at the start. I remember how I was at the airport coming back from my honeymoon, and I messaged Zak that I was leaving Escape. That was a bad moment for me in the Age of Empires community, since I wasn't even invited to go to the LAN in Germany. I was a caster and didn't get a word to go there so like you can imagine I wasn't happy. Some things were said before the creation of Escape and then it happened in a different way. I also got insulted big time on YouTube, etc. etc. I'm sorry to say this but well I wasn't happy and left, no drama no nothing, just left.
In addition, I have had some exaggerated hate directed at me from some people. You certainly can like some casters/streamers more than others but I have done a lot for this game and sometimes I felt that I deserved some recognition, or maybe better said respect. The worst that I do in this community is that sometimes I blame my team mates and rage in BF, and if I do something wrong, and I have done, I apologize. Some did me a lot damage and I never got an apology, these things didn't make me feel like leaving, but made me feel worse, so for a long time I didn't enjoy it, now I feel better and I’m doing better in my stream as well.
I don't know about everything that happened and often only from what is written by some individuals on AoCZone/AoEZone, but I 100 % agree that you have done a lot for the publicity of the game and entertained a lot of people and I always respect you for your efforts. As a public figure, it is normal to sometimes deal with unjustified criticism and even bad words, but you keep on going and you have also learned and improved over the years with your experience.
So we want to find out more about your past. You already told where you live. What do you like and dislike about your city and would you like to move to somewhere else?
I was born in Almería, a small city in Andalucía in the Southeast of Spain. I’m living actually close to it, but is like a little village, called Aguadulce, which belongs to Roquetas del Mar. Well, like all small places there is some culture stuff that is hard to find, you won't get the variety in concerts for example or some kind of cultural activities but the rural tourists, the beach, the weather, and what we know as “tapas”. It’s a great place to be, and very good to educate my kids in. I’m happy to be here, I hope I can stay here, I don't want to move.
How did you meet your wife and how long did it take for her to accept your AoE addiction?
I saw my wife for the first time at my previous job, the job I had before I started to stream, but i didn't talk to her there, well, I went to her, and said if she needed something..., but you know she said bla bla, and when I finished my shift I was mad with myself, because I could not get any contact detail or anything at all. Three weeks after I met her in a disco-bar, she didn't remember me, can you believe it? I remembered her, but nothing happened that day. I was just trying to know her more and asked where she works and if she wanted to have a coffee next Tuesday, since she finishes her shift at 18:00 (it was Saturday night), but nothing else. That following Tuesday I shaved (I usually didn't do it) and went to her work, can't forget her face, she thought I wasn't going to be there. We went for some coffee and we started to talk, now more seriously. Poor her, she was so nervous, her hands never stopped moving all evening, it was normal, she said. She then told me that she just broke up with her ex, a 13 years relationship! When she told me that I thought, you have to be patient and let her make the moves needed, but damn, she never did anything in many dates, I was about to give up. Then one day she finally decided and kissed, and now we have 2 kids, maybe I should have RUN? Titanic!!!! :D
She has never said the word addict and we never had a problem for AoC or streaming. What sometimes happens is that we have some moments to share with family and friends and I have missed it for some AoC tournaments since the most important games are always on weekends and my wife’s free day is only Sunday. So yes, there are some problems, but she is my biggest supporter, I could not stream without her.
That's a good story and while I have seen your daughter several times on stream and also your wife I think 2 times, as a (casual) viewer, you never know what goes on behind the scenes. Congratulations on not titanicing
.
What are the worst 3 things your wife has said to you because of AoE?
I really don't remember, it's not about AoC, it are things that can happen in any job when it iss too much, and definitely I have dedicated too much to AoC, so yes sometimes we have discussed or argued even, but we keep going so everything is fine.
Your favourite things:
What is your favourite food and drink?
Serrano ham and Paella, they are great but I’m puffy for a good reason, I eat everything :D
As far as drinks, I love Tinto de Verano, is not sangria like some people think, it’s actually like wine with lemonade, very cold, I love it!
Which foods from your home country/region would you recommend?
From my country exactly – Paella, for my region, well there are many, I recommend you to come and enjoy.
I actually want to go to Spain since a long time. My Spanish was not bad in 2012, now it’s were rusty. It’s strange how I did not manage, but I managed to go to other places. Now I should wait 2-3 years until I travel. If I still live in Europe then, we will for sure go to Spain.
What can you cook well yourself and how often do you do it? What are you cooking for your children?
I’m really basic in the kitchen, not gonna say something that I don't do. My wife is great, she usually cooks the most, but if I’m alone with the kids, then, yes, I cook what they need ofc. That doesn’t happen often because they eat in school too.
What would you put on top of a mastapizza?
I love all pizzas man, I told you, I’m puffy for a reason.
What is your favourite colour? (Does not need to be one of the 8 AoE II colours)
Blue and green.
What is your favourite animal?
I’m not fan of animals at home, because I’m in a flat and I think they must be living in better places, but if someday I had one it would be a dog, some of them are great. I loved my grandmother’s dog.
What/where is your favourite place on Earth?
I wish I have still to discover it, but the last nice place I have been, Bali, where I went for my honeymoon and it was great, incredible I would say.
What is your favourite song at the moment, of all time (can be top 5)?
Nothing from top 5, but there are many songs that are great, mostly all from some time ago. I love REM - Losing My Religion, Bon Jovi – It’s My Life. I like the Titanic theme song, no joke jaja. I love a lot of Spanish music, there is one called “Chiquilla” from Seguridad Social, here is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzqePpBUNZY. There are many, but I usually do not remember the names. Old music is just OP, love Zombie from the Cranberries, as I said great music, at least for me.
What is your favourite movie of all time (can be top 5)? Who is your favourite actor?
There are a lot of nice movies, mostly from some years ago. I love Braveheart (Mel Gibson), Gladiator, most of the movies from Denzel Washington, he is my favourite actor. I must say that Dark Knight is a great saga but the 2nd one, the role from (RIP) Heath Ledger as Joker was incredible well played. I love very different movies, I named my son Noah because I loved “El Diario de Noah”, “The Notebook” in English, I think. I might be missing some but I just told you what came to my mind, and I admit I have watched Titanic few times. I’m a romantic.
Do you have a favourite sports team? (football, basketball etc.)
Real Madrid and in the NBA I loved Chicago because of Michael Jordan, then I followed every team with Pau Gasol and loved Vince Carter in the Toronto Raptors.
If you were not in a relationship, and could date anyone, who would it be?
Never thought about that, Scarlett I consider really beautiful, I can go simple mode and say her. I would say that if I was not in a relationship I love to be with talkative people, that also listen, and make you smile, the rest comes later.
What time do you usually go to sleep? What do you like doing before sleeping?
My sleeping time is a total disaster, before I was always reading something or mostly watching some favourite show/movie, now I just fall sleep like a baby since I’m destroyed almost every day.
Which countries have you visited? And where would you like to go to? Why?
I have visited France, Italy, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Indonesia. I think that overall, I want to travel more. I would like to go abroad much more, Australia, US and Canada. The 1st one because I want to meet some people from Age of Empires, same from US and Canada, but US is a country that I always wanted to visit. I don’t know why but I want to see the way people live there. I think it might be a very interesting country to visit, it’s also huge so would be impossible to get bored. Also, I love to communicate with people in English, it’s just great.
What are your hobbies beside AoE?
I love doing sports, going out with friends and take tapas, don’t know how to explain it, but here you go to a bar, ask for a beer and you can also ask for some “tapas” which are small servings of different kinds of food, for around 3 euros which is great. I love to watch movies, home or cinema, also watch sports, and I love travelling. When my kids are a bit more grown I hope I can do it more, before I used to also read a lot but now I have no time to do it, sadly. I have read a lot in my life, but it’s never enough.
What would you like to do to make the world better?
Pff, this is a question to think about a lot and make a huge statement but something quick is that envy kills everything and everyone, focus on yourself and the world will be a bit better.
Some more questions about you and AoE:
Do you have an AoE idol? Who is your favourite Black Forest player?
I don't have an idol, never was this kind of guy if I can say it like that. I always liked DauT from the MS Zone days, and there were great Asian players, like Iori, bt4, Halen, etc etc. My favourite BF player was Fayt, from the United Kingdom, by far the best I have seen, then Hearttt was playing great BF too, but he moved on and started to Titanic jeje.
Who would you like to meet once, who you have not met? One AoE player and one other person.
I would like to meet slam as AoE player and I would like to have a talk with Raul Gonzalez, former striker of Real Madrid.
What is your favourite civilisation, map and unit?
Spanish for a civ and Black Forest for a map. I don’t have a favourite unit but I think boyars are incredible.
Which sound is your favourite in-game sound?
I don’t like taunts, since I stream I mute all the time, so my favourite in-game sound is when I win, but sadly it doesn’t happen too often :D.
If Arabia did not exist, which map do you think everyone would be playing like people play Arabia?
People would suicide probably, so hopefully it won't happen, but they would play any similar map, Serengeti or whatever.
Who is your favourite team mate?
a) For just playing
Slam, he is always chill so I can blame him and he doesn't complain even if he gets annoyed sometimes, but yes him, he is great.
b) Also outside of the game
One of my brothers, won't say who in case they read this, love all of them, but one is always special, happens always in life, people just don't admit it.
c) Would you live in a a) 1-bedroom, b) 2-bedroom) apartment with him/her for a) 1 month, b) 1 year?
Well that's a different thing, he is special but to be living with, those are very different things hehe.
In the new expansions, what is your favourite new civilisation and unit?
I loved Indians, but they got nerfed a lot, now I think I prefer Slavs, and Boyars, so fun those tanks.
ECL: Predict a placement.
1st Secret, 2nd SY, 3rd aM and 4th Suomi or Frantic. I think the rest of the spots do not even matter.
Make a ranking of the best 5 Spanish players a) at the moment and b) of all time based on 1v1 skills.
I think right now there is not huge Spanish skills players so I would make a top 3, TaToH, LaaaaNNNNNN [11] and Ralber (he is a legend).
All time, I would go for 1st Ruso, 2nd Rukkie, 3rd TaToH, 4th Chicho (he is my brother), 5th Ralber (probably now TaToH is 1st but at those times TaToH was also playing and all those in this list wrecked him).
Which 6 players from your country do you think will form the A team, if there would be a Nations Cup next summer? It will probably be on WK, which maps would you like to be included apart from Arabia, Nomad, Islands?
TaToH, LaaaN, Ralber, Moneimon, Poxo and hopefully my brother if he leaves the stupid League of Legends.
Which 4 players would you like to see forming a team? (can include inactive players)
The Viper, Chris, Halen and Dreams.
Which 6 / 8 players would you invite for Nili’s Apartment Cup 2? (Player 7 and 8 need to be excluded if 6 is the limit. Player 1-6 don’t need to be ranked) [The question was sent out before the announcement.]
I would invite Viper, Liereyyy, TaToH, MbL, Jordan, Nicov, Slam and FeAge. I know the first 6 are the ones Nili invited because he told me already. The last 2 are the ones I would love to meet in real life since I’m going there too. Also, I think those 6 deserve it since they are great and active players. Jordan is not much active anymore, but I want to know him in real life too so it’s great.
If FeAge comes, it will be really funny and I want to see slam compete in a 1v1 LAN too. So good choices. But, there are lots of players too, who would deserve to qualify.
Now comes a part, where I hope you can explain a lot and tell things that most people involved with AoE did not experience like you did:
Streaming:
What has changed about streaming in general and streaming since you started? What helped, motivated and inspired you?
When I started almost nobody was streaming, just me and don't remember who else, it motivated me, the game and the chemistry I had with Katsuni. Definitely he was the one who made me stream and love the stream, now everyone streams and wants to stream but streaming is not easy, you have to put in a lot of effort. Even with a lot of effort sometimes you don't get viewers. I was streaming many times getting almost no viewers and I never gave up, all I got has been with a lot of effort.
I got a lot help from Genette when I started, I literally knew almost nothing and he helped me quite a lot, right now the stream is really different and since I stream with 2 computers, capture card, and some other stuff, I'm not using much of what I learned, but when I didn´t have the components that I have now, he really helped me. Another guy that helped me a lot was Taff, he also helped me to get my channel partnered, won't forget that ever, them with Katsuni and Masmorra we were a very nice team on VooblyOfficial, I was really motivated at that time, and I barely streamed in my own channel other than late whisper streams, I'm talking for a long period, like close to 2 years, till Maldives things happened. But those times were great, miss those times for sure.
Back in the days I never thought about getting a sub, getting a donation, or getting anything from the stream, basically I got 0 income in more than a year, but I had 100 % motivation, I feel that now that has changed, not only me, in general, people first look at what they can get if they stream, I have seen people that are new at streaming, like no followers, no time streaming and their title in the stream is !donate or just a panel below the stream with the same word, in my view people must stream because they love the game, and love to interact with people, want to share things with them, their knowledge, and for sure to get a lot of fun, then if after that there is some extra and they can get an income, wow, great, but the house should not be started with the roof.
You quite often have streamed until 2, 3, 4 am, how do you do that? How do you still stay healthy?
I've been working very hard during many years so I’m used to big marathons, and if you have will power you can get not everything, but almost everything in this life.
What is the funniest moment in your life you experienced because of AoE?
I don't know 100 %, we had huge amount of moments. There was a moment with Katsuni and Taff in Voobly Official where I got confused about the name in the score board, he said Gaylord Fockers, and I thought he said Gaylord ****ers with a crazy flag. It wasn't a troll I just thought that was the name. This is the link to that stream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXcRW8vLOLA&index=25&list=PLfKUKNqtHS2PFiFVxBhUHR_KgFuRQfWPX&t=0s hilarious.
Who is your favourite co-caster?
Katsuni.
What’s the biggest “badaboom” you have ever seen?
Masters of Arena 3, MbL vs. TheViper - Celts vs. Britons.
What are the best 3 things a viewer of your stream has said or done to you?
I have gotten private messages from people to say thanks to me they recover from depression. I also got a request from a guy that wanted a special message to show at the wedding of his friends, because they love my stream. The best is when some of them talk to me in private and ask about me or my family, that is just great. Then how they come to me after some crazy casting in tournaments, and the motivation they show just makes my day.
Organisation:
Do you enjoy ECL? Compared to other tournaments, how would you rate it on a scale from 0 to 10? What would you improve?
I don’t enjoy it as I should. It should be a huge hype, while I barely have hype sadly. I’m not a fan of weekend events, they make me disconnected and people disconnect as well. I can't rate it from 0 to 10, because it’s hard to do that. It has some good stuff but in general tournaments should bring motivation to everyone, and people are not motivated, at least I do not feel they are. I would change some stuff, but I won't tell here, because I’ve never been asked. Definitely one of the most important things is that e-sports must be live, no matter how difficult it is, it must be done.
Which tournaments in the past did you enjoy the most?
King of the Desert and Battle of Africa, when you host something it is always special so I’m not objective with it. After those all Nations Cups for me are special and Master of Arena 3 was incredible.
I did not watch anything of KotD and BoA live, so I don't know, but MoMR was really great too, I remember a game, I think it was slam vs. FeAge? One of the craziest 1v1 tournament games I have watched.
Independent of resources and possibilities, which kind of AoE tournament would you like to host or stream?
Well, I have some ideas to host one, but I can't share like you can imagine.
[AngelinaJolie’s question:] Will you host another tournament like Battle of Africa? When would that be?
In 2019 if I get the resources and support to do it, I’m not a company so I need help, I can´t do it alone.
If the SY sponsor no longer can help with sponsoring a Nations Cup, what do you think would be the best way to fund and host the next Nations Cup?
Microsoft or some other sponsors, but if there is not, all streamers together can do something, we never work together.
What did you struggle with the most, when organizing a tournament?
Some players’ behavior, if everyone was like Suomi, every tournament would be possible, also with an admin like swissboyy there is no fear.
If you could go back in time and change something – anything related to AoE, what would be the top 3 situations that come to your mind?
Maldives crap should not have happened.
If we set rules we must follow the rules, we can't change to our interest or just do not follow them at all. There were few times it happened and lately happened with ECL rules. There are some rules that are there for nothing. One of those (there are some more) is the non-native casters together, Nili and I not casting together I can understand but I still think it’s a joke.
Wasn't huge, but swissboyy tried to host Master of Arena Special Edition, he changed the map and it started from Castle Age, but he had to cancel that. I’m sorry to say but all Arena tournaments since had not much impact, and all events where swissboyy has been involved have been a success.
If you had $200,000 you have to spend on AoE within one year, what would you do with it? (e.g. only one or multiple tournaments, sponsor a team, invite celebrities to play AoE on a LAN)
I won't say, people will copy haha, but with 20k I would do something great, so imagine with 200k, LAN would be possible for sure.
The last 3 questions:
If you visit AoEZone and Voobly, is there something you like especially or would like to have improved?
Voobly is great to the game, but the chat client can be hugely improved, it’s really too old. AoeZone - PkZ is doing a decent job, Kappa, I think we have a great site for our community.
Choose without me giving you any background information or what it should be about: a) Chris or DauT? Tim or TheViper? Metal or DraCoNT? FeAge or Lavie_Head? ZeroEmpires or T90? Lumberjack or Hunter? 1v1 or 2v2? Feudal Age or Imperial Age? Arena or Islands?
DauT, Viper, Metal, Feage, None, Hunter, 1v1, Imperial Age, Arena.
Who do you want me to interview and what question would you like me to ask her/him?
Swissboyy, he is great guy and know a lot about Age of Empires.
Thank you a lot for this detailed interview. But we can’t end this interview without an announcement, so what will it be?
I will keep trying to make Memb events, King of the Desert and BoA won't be the last ones.
Stay Tunis.
(That’s my wife and me on our balcony, but before people go crazy, I live in a “cheap” place in Spain because we are in a small city. It’s not my house, it’s my wife’s house. This view was a good reason to keep going out with her when we met for the first time, Kappa.)
Let’s make this interview a bit more unpredictable and start with a question only Edie dared to ask: When you were young (and not in a relationship yet), how many girls could you get per month?
I never kept track of those things, sometimes none, sometimes few. Honestly, I don’t think people really care about that, I never did, I don’t know.
So already a bit of a fail on my side now. But no Titanic yet. We can still make this a Victoria (Magellan’s ship to circumnavigate the world for the first time. Spanish too).
How old are you now? And what did you do before AoE?
I’m 41 years old, before AoC I did a lot of things, as you can imagine. I was born in the city of Almería, but have lived in a few other cities during my life. Actually, I came back to Almería when I was around 18 years old, in my last year of high school in Spain, the middle of the last year to be more precise. Was a really tough one because I left all my childhood friends behind. Sadly, most of them I’ve never seen again. I have kept the friends I made when I was 18 though, you know those that you consider friends forever even if you only see them once a year.
About me, I studied Economics and then did teach at the university, loved 2nd one, dislike the 1st one, during the years I have studied that was basically 8-10 years, I was working at the same time as lifeguard during summers, I was working at a restaurant as a waiter on weekends and special days. I remember in the evenings being in the class and getting a phone call, Dani, I need you in 2 hours. Worked as mailman, I worked doing buildings, think the correct one is as builder? Worked selling insurances, was working in a casino. That one was a tough one, was close to 2 years and I was working from 20 to 4 am and then wake up at 8 to go to university. My free days were Monday and Tuesday during 2 years and then on Saturday, I was working from 20 to 6 am and on Sunday from 14:00 to 4-5 am, depending on the summer/winter time, like this during 2 years, so you start to know from where I get the energy to stream as I do. I have worked a lot in my life, had to do it because we are 4 brothers, with only 1 salary from my dad. I might forget some stuff but I think in general this is enough for who is reading this.

When and how did you start playing Age of Empires 2? Have you played Age of Empires 1/3?
I think I started just when it was released. I was playing with my high-school friends and brothers most of the times in LAN with them. Those were the best moments, like when you are innocent as a kid and you enjoy 200 % of everything. It was the same feeling back in the days. I don’t remember about Age 1/3, maybe I tried them once or twice.
What are your hopes for Age of Empires 4?
Well I have really big expectations for AoE II Definitive Edition but about Age 4 I don’t know since I know nothing about it. I hope they make a good product, because it’s needed.
In which clans have you been and in which tournaments have you participated?
I started in FOPT, Fruit of the Poisonous Tree. I was there forever, only really “left” when it totally died. I joined ArgoNauT next which had DauT in it among many other top players. I wasn't one of the top although I reached 2k on MS Zone but the system was different there as the nickname had a combined ELO for all games, 1v1 and TG. I think Dreams, the Finnish legend was with me in FOPT too, and some others.
I always participated in RTS clans, back in the day when it was so popular, but other than that I didn't try to be an expert, maybe I also can't be one if even if I try, so who knows. When I was in FOPT, we did a lot of tournaments, but I was mostly a viewer there. I only organised a big 2v2 Black Forest cup that DauT and Rami won vs. Colin and Dan (2 British brothers, with Chinese parents) former “trash” clan. The 1st game was the longest I remember in the competitive scene, over 6 hours and no wood left, Spanish vs Celts war, I’m sure DauT remembers it.
Why did you choose the AoE nickname “Memb/Membrillo“?
It comes from FOPT, you needed a fruit or candy nick to join, so I chose Membrillo, from “dulce de membrillo” you gotta try it, it tastes so good.
We will talk about streaming as a profession later again, but let’s provide this first:
What is your stream link?
https://www.twitch.tv/membtv. I'm thinking about changing the name, not sure yet, but I might go with just Memb.
How frequently and at which times do you stream?
I stream every day, with few exceptions. I cover every single event, most of the time LIVE, though if for whatever reason I can’t not live I do recorded games. Other than that, I can come streaming when my real life lets me, so you must be ready 24/7 :D.
Can you estimate how many hours in total you have spent streaming?
Well, I started streaming at the end of 2013, streamed a lot on VooblyOfficial and also on my FOPT_Membrillo channel, but I can tell that since I got my actual bot, 05 July 2015, I have 4935.8 hours on FOPT_Membrillo and since I switched to MembTV, 24 February 2017, it says 10195.9 hours that make over 15 000 hours without counting streams on Youtube, I did a lot during Nations Cup 2017, and some few days that bot was down and I needed a backup, so you can estimate how much I have streamed AoC.
What is special about your stream, why should it be watched?
If I say it here it would lose how special it is. It’s definitely a special stream, but to watch it and get deeply into it, you need to watch more than 1 and 2 times, then you might really know how special it is, maybe you won't still like it, but if you do like it, you probably won't regret that decision (it’s a meme in my channel) hehe, I’m there to entertain everyone including myself and that is what I try, I’m honest, there is no fake, sometimes that brings me problems, but well, I’m like that.
May I add something? I have not watched many streams in 2017 and 2018, but when I compared your stream to others in 2015 or 2016, I have to say that your two strongest points were the passion and the interaction with the viewers, which was not so common back then. Also, of course covering almost every tournament was a plus.
Back to your private life. As much as you want to share. We all know you are married and father of two young children. What exactly has caused your decision to become and stay a professional AoE streamer? How often did you regret it? And how often did you think about abandoning streaming? Due to what?
I never thought becoming a professional streamer, I don't know if I can consider myself professional with the complete meaning this word has, since professional is when you get a contract and people pay you for some task that they demand. I’m an individual that has a partnership with Twitch, but that doesn't make me a professional streamer. That said, I try to be a pro mostly in tournaments, then I just try to entertain, so there is a different POV in my stream. I started to stream because I had really bad moments in my real life, something that affected to my health, was doing pretty bad, then I came back to AoC to have some fun.
One day I saw a red symbol on Voobly, I don't remember who it was, but probably was Katsuni. I clicked it and checked it out, I’ve loved this game since I can't remember, immediately the thought came to my mind “I want to stream, I want do this, I can do it”. I messaged him, was before November 2013, I think October or something, I was checking my AoCZone and I only have this http://prntscr.com/kx3p6m from November 2013. He answered me very nicely, and we got good chemistry pretty quickly, don’t remember when but I started to co-cast with him very quickly, and well, I remember those times like some of the best moments in my streaming life.
I don't know if regret is the proper word, but I’ve had some bad moments, yes, and since I’m so passionate when I care for something, it’s for good and for bad. I have thought leaving streaming, yes, because when I stream I love it because I never got that feeling when going to work and thinking, pfff I have to go there again. I’ve had that feeling a few times and that made me think, Memb, this is not working. Why? Well the Maldives thing did a lot of damage to Katsuni and me. Back then my channel was partnered but very small, not that now it is huge, but compared to what it was. I almost stopped streaming, Katsuni left streaming/internet for a long time, and I started to focus on my channel 100 % and that is when MoA3 hype came around. Master of Megarandom, Nomadness, Arabia Invitational that I could not stream live but streaming recorded games was getting a lot of viewers, and well, I moved on and kept streaming.
Then I got disappointed again when I joined Escape the 1st time, for several things, everything was different than it was said at the start. I remember how I was at the airport coming back from my honeymoon, and I messaged Zak that I was leaving Escape. That was a bad moment for me in the Age of Empires community, since I wasn't even invited to go to the LAN in Germany. I was a caster and didn't get a word to go there so like you can imagine I wasn't happy. Some things were said before the creation of Escape and then it happened in a different way. I also got insulted big time on YouTube, etc. etc. I'm sorry to say this but well I wasn't happy and left, no drama no nothing, just left.
In addition, I have had some exaggerated hate directed at me from some people. You certainly can like some casters/streamers more than others but I have done a lot for this game and sometimes I felt that I deserved some recognition, or maybe better said respect. The worst that I do in this community is that sometimes I blame my team mates and rage in BF, and if I do something wrong, and I have done, I apologize. Some did me a lot damage and I never got an apology, these things didn't make me feel like leaving, but made me feel worse, so for a long time I didn't enjoy it, now I feel better and I’m doing better in my stream as well.
I don't know about everything that happened and often only from what is written by some individuals on AoCZone/AoEZone, but I 100 % agree that you have done a lot for the publicity of the game and entertained a lot of people and I always respect you for your efforts. As a public figure, it is normal to sometimes deal with unjustified criticism and even bad words, but you keep on going and you have also learned and improved over the years with your experience.
So we want to find out more about your past. You already told where you live. What do you like and dislike about your city and would you like to move to somewhere else?
I was born in Almería, a small city in Andalucía in the Southeast of Spain. I’m living actually close to it, but is like a little village, called Aguadulce, which belongs to Roquetas del Mar. Well, like all small places there is some culture stuff that is hard to find, you won't get the variety in concerts for example or some kind of cultural activities but the rural tourists, the beach, the weather, and what we know as “tapas”. It’s a great place to be, and very good to educate my kids in. I’m happy to be here, I hope I can stay here, I don't want to move.
How did you meet your wife and how long did it take for her to accept your AoE addiction?
I saw my wife for the first time at my previous job, the job I had before I started to stream, but i didn't talk to her there, well, I went to her, and said if she needed something..., but you know she said bla bla, and when I finished my shift I was mad with myself, because I could not get any contact detail or anything at all. Three weeks after I met her in a disco-bar, she didn't remember me, can you believe it? I remembered her, but nothing happened that day. I was just trying to know her more and asked where she works and if she wanted to have a coffee next Tuesday, since she finishes her shift at 18:00 (it was Saturday night), but nothing else. That following Tuesday I shaved (I usually didn't do it) and went to her work, can't forget her face, she thought I wasn't going to be there. We went for some coffee and we started to talk, now more seriously. Poor her, she was so nervous, her hands never stopped moving all evening, it was normal, she said. She then told me that she just broke up with her ex, a 13 years relationship! When she told me that I thought, you have to be patient and let her make the moves needed, but damn, she never did anything in many dates, I was about to give up. Then one day she finally decided and kissed, and now we have 2 kids, maybe I should have RUN? Titanic!!!! :D
She has never said the word addict and we never had a problem for AoC or streaming. What sometimes happens is that we have some moments to share with family and friends and I have missed it for some AoC tournaments since the most important games are always on weekends and my wife’s free day is only Sunday. So yes, there are some problems, but she is my biggest supporter, I could not stream without her.
That's a good story and while I have seen your daughter several times on stream and also your wife I think 2 times, as a (casual) viewer, you never know what goes on behind the scenes. Congratulations on not titanicing

What are the worst 3 things your wife has said to you because of AoE?
I really don't remember, it's not about AoC, it are things that can happen in any job when it iss too much, and definitely I have dedicated too much to AoC, so yes sometimes we have discussed or argued even, but we keep going so everything is fine.
Your favourite things:
What is your favourite food and drink?
Serrano ham and Paella, they are great but I’m puffy for a good reason, I eat everything :D
As far as drinks, I love Tinto de Verano, is not sangria like some people think, it’s actually like wine with lemonade, very cold, I love it!
Which foods from your home country/region would you recommend?
From my country exactly – Paella, for my region, well there are many, I recommend you to come and enjoy.
I actually want to go to Spain since a long time. My Spanish was not bad in 2012, now it’s were rusty. It’s strange how I did not manage, but I managed to go to other places. Now I should wait 2-3 years until I travel. If I still live in Europe then, we will for sure go to Spain.
What can you cook well yourself and how often do you do it? What are you cooking for your children?
I’m really basic in the kitchen, not gonna say something that I don't do. My wife is great, she usually cooks the most, but if I’m alone with the kids, then, yes, I cook what they need ofc. That doesn’t happen often because they eat in school too.
What would you put on top of a mastapizza?
I love all pizzas man, I told you, I’m puffy for a reason.
What is your favourite colour? (Does not need to be one of the 8 AoE II colours)
Blue and green.
What is your favourite animal?
I’m not fan of animals at home, because I’m in a flat and I think they must be living in better places, but if someday I had one it would be a dog, some of them are great. I loved my grandmother’s dog.
What/where is your favourite place on Earth?
I wish I have still to discover it, but the last nice place I have been, Bali, where I went for my honeymoon and it was great, incredible I would say.
What is your favourite song at the moment, of all time (can be top 5)?
Nothing from top 5, but there are many songs that are great, mostly all from some time ago. I love REM - Losing My Religion, Bon Jovi – It’s My Life. I like the Titanic theme song, no joke jaja. I love a lot of Spanish music, there is one called “Chiquilla” from Seguridad Social, here is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzqePpBUNZY. There are many, but I usually do not remember the names. Old music is just OP, love Zombie from the Cranberries, as I said great music, at least for me.
What is your favourite movie of all time (can be top 5)? Who is your favourite actor?
There are a lot of nice movies, mostly from some years ago. I love Braveheart (Mel Gibson), Gladiator, most of the movies from Denzel Washington, he is my favourite actor. I must say that Dark Knight is a great saga but the 2nd one, the role from (RIP) Heath Ledger as Joker was incredible well played. I love very different movies, I named my son Noah because I loved “El Diario de Noah”, “The Notebook” in English, I think. I might be missing some but I just told you what came to my mind, and I admit I have watched Titanic few times. I’m a romantic.
Do you have a favourite sports team? (football, basketball etc.)
Real Madrid and in the NBA I loved Chicago because of Michael Jordan, then I followed every team with Pau Gasol and loved Vince Carter in the Toronto Raptors.
If you were not in a relationship, and could date anyone, who would it be?
Never thought about that, Scarlett I consider really beautiful, I can go simple mode and say her. I would say that if I was not in a relationship I love to be with talkative people, that also listen, and make you smile, the rest comes later.
What time do you usually go to sleep? What do you like doing before sleeping?
My sleeping time is a total disaster, before I was always reading something or mostly watching some favourite show/movie, now I just fall sleep like a baby since I’m destroyed almost every day.
Which countries have you visited? And where would you like to go to? Why?
I have visited France, Italy, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Indonesia. I think that overall, I want to travel more. I would like to go abroad much more, Australia, US and Canada. The 1st one because I want to meet some people from Age of Empires, same from US and Canada, but US is a country that I always wanted to visit. I don’t know why but I want to see the way people live there. I think it might be a very interesting country to visit, it’s also huge so would be impossible to get bored. Also, I love to communicate with people in English, it’s just great.
What are your hobbies beside AoE?
I love doing sports, going out with friends and take tapas, don’t know how to explain it, but here you go to a bar, ask for a beer and you can also ask for some “tapas” which are small servings of different kinds of food, for around 3 euros which is great. I love to watch movies, home or cinema, also watch sports, and I love travelling. When my kids are a bit more grown I hope I can do it more, before I used to also read a lot but now I have no time to do it, sadly. I have read a lot in my life, but it’s never enough.
What would you like to do to make the world better?
Pff, this is a question to think about a lot and make a huge statement but something quick is that envy kills everything and everyone, focus on yourself and the world will be a bit better.
Some more questions about you and AoE:
Do you have an AoE idol? Who is your favourite Black Forest player?
I don't have an idol, never was this kind of guy if I can say it like that. I always liked DauT from the MS Zone days, and there were great Asian players, like Iori, bt4, Halen, etc etc. My favourite BF player was Fayt, from the United Kingdom, by far the best I have seen, then Hearttt was playing great BF too, but he moved on and started to Titanic jeje.
Who would you like to meet once, who you have not met? One AoE player and one other person.
I would like to meet slam as AoE player and I would like to have a talk with Raul Gonzalez, former striker of Real Madrid.
What is your favourite civilisation, map and unit?
Spanish for a civ and Black Forest for a map. I don’t have a favourite unit but I think boyars are incredible.
Which sound is your favourite in-game sound?
I don’t like taunts, since I stream I mute all the time, so my favourite in-game sound is when I win, but sadly it doesn’t happen too often :D.
If Arabia did not exist, which map do you think everyone would be playing like people play Arabia?
People would suicide probably, so hopefully it won't happen, but they would play any similar map, Serengeti or whatever.
Who is your favourite team mate?
a) For just playing
Slam, he is always chill so I can blame him and he doesn't complain even if he gets annoyed sometimes, but yes him, he is great.
b) Also outside of the game
One of my brothers, won't say who in case they read this, love all of them, but one is always special, happens always in life, people just don't admit it.
c) Would you live in a a) 1-bedroom, b) 2-bedroom) apartment with him/her for a) 1 month, b) 1 year?
Well that's a different thing, he is special but to be living with, those are very different things hehe.
In the new expansions, what is your favourite new civilisation and unit?
I loved Indians, but they got nerfed a lot, now I think I prefer Slavs, and Boyars, so fun those tanks.
ECL: Predict a placement.
1st Secret, 2nd SY, 3rd aM and 4th Suomi or Frantic. I think the rest of the spots do not even matter.
Make a ranking of the best 5 Spanish players a) at the moment and b) of all time based on 1v1 skills.
I think right now there is not huge Spanish skills players so I would make a top 3, TaToH, LaaaaNNNNNN [11] and Ralber (he is a legend).
All time, I would go for 1st Ruso, 2nd Rukkie, 3rd TaToH, 4th Chicho (he is my brother), 5th Ralber (probably now TaToH is 1st but at those times TaToH was also playing and all those in this list wrecked him).
Which 6 players from your country do you think will form the A team, if there would be a Nations Cup next summer? It will probably be on WK, which maps would you like to be included apart from Arabia, Nomad, Islands?
TaToH, LaaaN, Ralber, Moneimon, Poxo and hopefully my brother if he leaves the stupid League of Legends.
Which 4 players would you like to see forming a team? (can include inactive players)
The Viper, Chris, Halen and Dreams.
Which 6 / 8 players would you invite for Nili’s Apartment Cup 2? (Player 7 and 8 need to be excluded if 6 is the limit. Player 1-6 don’t need to be ranked) [The question was sent out before the announcement.]
I would invite Viper, Liereyyy, TaToH, MbL, Jordan, Nicov, Slam and FeAge. I know the first 6 are the ones Nili invited because he told me already. The last 2 are the ones I would love to meet in real life since I’m going there too. Also, I think those 6 deserve it since they are great and active players. Jordan is not much active anymore, but I want to know him in real life too so it’s great.
If FeAge comes, it will be really funny and I want to see slam compete in a 1v1 LAN too. So good choices. But, there are lots of players too, who would deserve to qualify.
Now comes a part, where I hope you can explain a lot and tell things that most people involved with AoE did not experience like you did:
Streaming:
What has changed about streaming in general and streaming since you started? What helped, motivated and inspired you?
When I started almost nobody was streaming, just me and don't remember who else, it motivated me, the game and the chemistry I had with Katsuni. Definitely he was the one who made me stream and love the stream, now everyone streams and wants to stream but streaming is not easy, you have to put in a lot of effort. Even with a lot of effort sometimes you don't get viewers. I was streaming many times getting almost no viewers and I never gave up, all I got has been with a lot of effort.
I got a lot help from Genette when I started, I literally knew almost nothing and he helped me quite a lot, right now the stream is really different and since I stream with 2 computers, capture card, and some other stuff, I'm not using much of what I learned, but when I didn´t have the components that I have now, he really helped me. Another guy that helped me a lot was Taff, he also helped me to get my channel partnered, won't forget that ever, them with Katsuni and Masmorra we were a very nice team on VooblyOfficial, I was really motivated at that time, and I barely streamed in my own channel other than late whisper streams, I'm talking for a long period, like close to 2 years, till Maldives things happened. But those times were great, miss those times for sure.
Back in the days I never thought about getting a sub, getting a donation, or getting anything from the stream, basically I got 0 income in more than a year, but I had 100 % motivation, I feel that now that has changed, not only me, in general, people first look at what they can get if they stream, I have seen people that are new at streaming, like no followers, no time streaming and their title in the stream is !donate or just a panel below the stream with the same word, in my view people must stream because they love the game, and love to interact with people, want to share things with them, their knowledge, and for sure to get a lot of fun, then if after that there is some extra and they can get an income, wow, great, but the house should not be started with the roof.
You quite often have streamed until 2, 3, 4 am, how do you do that? How do you still stay healthy?
I've been working very hard during many years so I’m used to big marathons, and if you have will power you can get not everything, but almost everything in this life.
What is the funniest moment in your life you experienced because of AoE?
I don't know 100 %, we had huge amount of moments. There was a moment with Katsuni and Taff in Voobly Official where I got confused about the name in the score board, he said Gaylord Fockers, and I thought he said Gaylord ****ers with a crazy flag. It wasn't a troll I just thought that was the name. This is the link to that stream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXcRW8vLOLA&index=25&list=PLfKUKNqtHS2PFiFVxBhUHR_KgFuRQfWPX&t=0s hilarious.
Who is your favourite co-caster?
Katsuni.
What’s the biggest “badaboom” you have ever seen?
Masters of Arena 3, MbL vs. TheViper - Celts vs. Britons.
What are the best 3 things a viewer of your stream has said or done to you?
I have gotten private messages from people to say thanks to me they recover from depression. I also got a request from a guy that wanted a special message to show at the wedding of his friends, because they love my stream. The best is when some of them talk to me in private and ask about me or my family, that is just great. Then how they come to me after some crazy casting in tournaments, and the motivation they show just makes my day.
Organisation:
Do you enjoy ECL? Compared to other tournaments, how would you rate it on a scale from 0 to 10? What would you improve?
I don’t enjoy it as I should. It should be a huge hype, while I barely have hype sadly. I’m not a fan of weekend events, they make me disconnected and people disconnect as well. I can't rate it from 0 to 10, because it’s hard to do that. It has some good stuff but in general tournaments should bring motivation to everyone, and people are not motivated, at least I do not feel they are. I would change some stuff, but I won't tell here, because I’ve never been asked. Definitely one of the most important things is that e-sports must be live, no matter how difficult it is, it must be done.
Which tournaments in the past did you enjoy the most?
King of the Desert and Battle of Africa, when you host something it is always special so I’m not objective with it. After those all Nations Cups for me are special and Master of Arena 3 was incredible.
I did not watch anything of KotD and BoA live, so I don't know, but MoMR was really great too, I remember a game, I think it was slam vs. FeAge? One of the craziest 1v1 tournament games I have watched.
Independent of resources and possibilities, which kind of AoE tournament would you like to host or stream?
Well, I have some ideas to host one, but I can't share like you can imagine.
[AngelinaJolie’s question:] Will you host another tournament like Battle of Africa? When would that be?
In 2019 if I get the resources and support to do it, I’m not a company so I need help, I can´t do it alone.
If the SY sponsor no longer can help with sponsoring a Nations Cup, what do you think would be the best way to fund and host the next Nations Cup?
Microsoft or some other sponsors, but if there is not, all streamers together can do something, we never work together.
What did you struggle with the most, when organizing a tournament?
Some players’ behavior, if everyone was like Suomi, every tournament would be possible, also with an admin like swissboyy there is no fear.
If you could go back in time and change something – anything related to AoE, what would be the top 3 situations that come to your mind?
Maldives crap should not have happened.
If we set rules we must follow the rules, we can't change to our interest or just do not follow them at all. There were few times it happened and lately happened with ECL rules. There are some rules that are there for nothing. One of those (there are some more) is the non-native casters together, Nili and I not casting together I can understand but I still think it’s a joke.
Wasn't huge, but swissboyy tried to host Master of Arena Special Edition, he changed the map and it started from Castle Age, but he had to cancel that. I’m sorry to say but all Arena tournaments since had not much impact, and all events where swissboyy has been involved have been a success.
If you had $200,000 you have to spend on AoE within one year, what would you do with it? (e.g. only one or multiple tournaments, sponsor a team, invite celebrities to play AoE on a LAN)
I won't say, people will copy haha, but with 20k I would do something great, so imagine with 200k, LAN would be possible for sure.
The last 3 questions:
If you visit AoEZone and Voobly, is there something you like especially or would like to have improved?
Voobly is great to the game, but the chat client can be hugely improved, it’s really too old. AoeZone - PkZ is doing a decent job, Kappa, I think we have a great site for our community.
Choose without me giving you any background information or what it should be about: a) Chris or DauT? Tim or TheViper? Metal or DraCoNT? FeAge or Lavie_Head? ZeroEmpires or T90? Lumberjack or Hunter? 1v1 or 2v2? Feudal Age or Imperial Age? Arena or Islands?
DauT, Viper, Metal, Feage, None, Hunter, 1v1, Imperial Age, Arena.
Who do you want me to interview and what question would you like me to ask her/him?
Swissboyy, he is great guy and know a lot about Age of Empires.
Thank you a lot for this detailed interview. But we can’t end this interview without an announcement, so what will it be?
I will keep trying to make Memb events, King of the Desert and BoA won't be the last ones.
Stay Tunis.
