Revision as of 23:47, 1 September 2008
Alex Penev is a Mario Kart player, staff member, all-round gamer, and popular personality in the kart community. He won the inaugural Karter Contest over Finn Berger (2004), was runner-up to Sami Cetin in the second content (2006), and won the champion-of-champions playoff against Sami and Michael Fried in the third content (2008).
Alex is a former Mario Kart 64 world champ for both Non-Shortcut and Shortcut. He pioneered some strategies (notably Kalimari Desert) and many shortcuts, and has had several long-standing WRs. Most were shortcut WRs, and they have all fallen as the years went by. His most famous WR was CM NonSC flap, which despite being done with an inferior strat stood for more than 5 years. Some of his other long-standing records, such as LRSC 3lap and CMSC 3lap, were eventually beaten with new shortcut discoveries. Alex was the top "universal" (non-shortcut and shortcut combined) MK64 player for many years; he is still 3rd in Universal ARR and 6th in Universal AF despite hardly having played since 2001. Alex has never officially retired and has made some returns to try out new SCs.
Alex was MKDD champion in the infancy of the competition, rising to the top in a few short weeks' time during Jan 2004. He dominated for 4 months, but has been inactive since July 2004 and slipped to outside the top-50.
In 2008 Alex joined the MKW page. He is unranked because he has only played 11 courses, and mostly played single laps. He briefly held a 3lap WR on 'Mushroom Mountain' after finding the extra trick to making the shortcut jump earlier to save a few seconds on each lap. At present, he still holds the MG lap WR at 13'331 -- a time that was 1 second ahead of anyone else when he got it -- and also holds the oldest site record (22'764 Peach Beach). Alex has held the lap record on all except 2 levels that he's played.
Alex is a veteran of N64HS and a member of several hi-scores sites. He holds or has held site records in Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Pokemon Snap (among others; he no longer keeps track).
In addition to gaming, Alex has helped the community by creating the current front-end for the SMK, MKSC, MKDD, MKDS and MKW sites. He designed and maintains the database, made the update parser, site templates, styles and most of the graphics. Dictatorship of the MKDS and MKW sites, in particular, was assigned to Sean Sullivan and William Lacey (resp.), and the able pair have added many features beyond Alex's contributions that Alex probably likes to take credit for when, er, chatting up chicks. Yeah.
In more visible roles, Alex still updates the weekly MKDD news. He is also an admin on the forums, but rumour has it that he has other secret powers.
Personal quotes include "chown -R me ~you/base*" (all your base are belong to me), and "...no queue jumping" (in response to "I want your babies!").
