'''Blake "SpiderWaffle" Piepho''' does not actively compete in [[GoldenEye 007|Goldeneye]] or [[Perfect Dark]], but he contributes strategic ideas to Goldeneye. His contributions are usually ideas that truly push the game to its limits. While some ideas are too unreliable to practically integrate into normal play, they have found their way into tool-assisted runs of the game. Blake does speedruns on other games, and has several videos listed on [[Speed Demos Archive]], including runs on [[StarCraft]], [[Metroid]], and [[Half-Life]].
'''Blake "SpiderWaffle" Piepho''' does not actively compete in [[GoldenEye 007|Goldeneye]] or [[Perfect Dark]], but has contributed strategic ideas to Goldeneye that have saved many seconds on the rankings. He discovered the [[Caverns]] SA mine throw for Objective B, the [[Infiltration]] "super bug toss" and the [[Surface 2]] "shoot through the window get the last camera" strategies amongst others. While some ideas are too unreliable to practically integrate into normal play, many have found their way into [[tool-assisted runs]] of the game. He is active on the [[The Elite|Elite]] forums and also gives assistance to Goldeneye/Perfect Dark TAS speedrunners in their respective communities.

For an interesting half hour, feel free to IM Swaff at "Spider-Waffle" on skype and ask for his thoughts on using scroll wheels for segmented runs.
