When he's not working, you can find IckTwo playing CS:GO with his nose practically touching the screen, probably because he thinks that's how you aim better. He's also been known to tinker with his motorcycle and spending money on computer parts. He loves a wide variety of games and genres, but his recent favourite definitely must be Disco Elysium!
