Hey Helge Aka Pudding can you tell the rest of GamingOrb community who you are, and what are you doing at TG 09?
Hello, my name is Helge "Pudding" Holwech, i'm just an ordinary boy from Oslo. I'm 18 years old and i'm having the pleasure of being at The Gathering for my first time! I'm also the manager of the team Gamefuel, who are participating in the Counter-Strike compo here at TG. So I'm basicly here to make sure that they performs at their best, behave nice and of course to meet the great guys I've gotten to know over the internet.

How does its feel to be at a lan of this size?
I've never been on a lan even close to this size, so it's a new, but also a really cool experience. The people i've talked to are all great persons, and I have enjoyed nearly ever second since we arrived here! It's also nice being on a lan with not only computers and gamers, but also stands from some huge brands making it possible to buy gaming-gear etc.

There is no place dedicated to gaming/gamers, do you think that there should be one?
Considering the fact that they have the availiability of applying for Gamer-Tickets, it would have made sense to me if there were some small restricted areas just for gamers & VIP's, but after all, this is not a Gamer-LAN, it's just a whole lot of fun!

Many gamers that are competing in the tournament are making complaints about the rules. What are your thoughts about this?
Well, some parts of the rules are really strict, which in my opinion is a good thing. Many gamers are switching back to default config's which will make the matches more fair & even for every team and contestant, which again will make the matches more interesting. The only downside is that they are allowing powerstrip.

I have heard some rumours that you have rented a cottage somewhere?
Yes the rumours are true, we have rented a little cottage just outside of hamar, its close to Mjøsabrua, estimated travel time is around 25 minutes. Me and 4 others from gamefuel are lucky enough to share the space of the small cottage, which is more or less constructed for 3 persons, not 5. Therefore am I sharing the sofa-bed with Slettemoen.

How does it feel to have to share a bed with your companion?
Sharing the sofa with Slettemoen is just fun, it will give us something to look back and laugh at. I've also been told that I "accidently" roll over to Mortens side when we're sleeping.

Do you have any last words ?
I would like to say thanks to Slettemoen, the team and the rest of the guys in Gamefuel. I'd also like to make a shoutout to all our fans and, of course our newest sponsor; Steelseries!

Thank you for taking your time with me Helge, we wish you the best of luck at the compo!

Xuliduim and its still easter:)
