Farewell Dez1013

Dez1013 (Jan 4, 2006 - Feb 17, 2008)
With a single ebay posting, our friend Dez1013 has passed on. From his humble start in Halo: Combat Evolved, Dez grew to be an avid gamer. He pwned at LAN parties and then learned to game into the late hours of the night with Halo 2 on Xbox Live. From there he came to join our ranks in Real Custom Games. He was an integral part of the initial group formation, being a valued Core Member. Many have memories of Dez owning them during gamedays and ladder matches. Sometimes RCG members would freely offer themselves up to Dez for ownage. Other clans learned to fear Dez1013 when they faced RCG in clan matches.

Dez1013 went on to grow into an Xbox 360 gamer with the consoles release. With that advancement he was then able to demonstrate his dominance in such games as Gears of War and Crackdown. The 360 gave Dez the opportunity to own others in arcade games such as UNO and Aegis Wing. Crackdown opened Dez's gaming world to the Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta. That preview made others shudder in fear at the 1337ness that is Dez1013. For the next few months Dez continued to dominate in 1337 fashion in games such as Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4. He thoroughly explored and conquered RPG games such as Oblivion and Mass Effect. His latest conquest was sheer perfection on the drums in Rock Band. Truly, Dez, you will be missed.

On an early Sunday in February Dez1013's gaming life game to a sudden and abrupt end. The reality, that is life, finally caught up with him. Sometime in the future maybe Dez1013 will return to us in a reincarnated form. But for now we as gamers mourn the loss of one of our great brethren.
