Gamer Spotlight: EGC YODA EF
He’s a Metallica fan who doesn’t have a lot good to say about the Waffle House. Say hello to EGC YODA EF.
KP: What’s the story behind your Gamertag?
EGC YODA EF: I grew up in a small neighborhood in Ohio. Unfortunately at the time I was very short. All of my friends called me Yoda because I had a very short temper. So I stuck with the name, but the temper is gone, and now that I’m 6’7”, none of my friends call me Yoda any more.
