'''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.
Blake does play competitively in other areas, and has several videos listed on [[Speed Demos Archive]], including runs on [[StarCraft]], [[Half-Life]], the HL expanion [[Opposing Force]], Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, [[Metroid]], and [[Contra III]].
In non-speedrun related gaming Blake is world class at Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 and has won $300 in a [[Twin Galaxies]] best combo contest. His Tony Hawk videos including many world records can be found at [http://jedsvideos.planettonyhawk.gamespy.com/ Planet Tony Hawk].
Blake is also an avid and currently active player of the Half-Life mod Team Fortress Classic. He plays for top ranked American clans and was selected to represent the United State’s national team for attack/defend style of maps. He is considered by many to have been the best player ever for attack/defend and the best soldier trick jumper.
Blake studies mechanical engineering at the University of Washington. His favorite hobby is volleyball; he plays for the UW men's club team and for a Seattle area men's A team.
