About Optec
My real name is Ed Shire and i am a 21 yearr old Student.

Optec is an officer in the guild of Master Brewers. I have played WoW since patch 1.9 launch but in my relatively short time i have been playing i have found out much about the game and i am having alot of fun in the game with the guild. I am a dedicated gamer but i would say i have been at one point in my life hardcore.

I am currently in year 3 about to enter into year 4 of a MPhys degree course. I have just finished my time with the MOD and have loved this past year.

Former games i have played (MMORPGs) are Star Wars Galaxies which i played for the best part of 12months then i moved onto Everquest II which i also played for about a year. After accepting a minor GM position with EQ2 i decided to take a break until i had received my training. I reluctantly gave WoW a try and found it to be a far superior game, sadly when the time came to take up my position with SOE as a GM i had to decline as i was now focussed elsewhere.

Work by Optec
Over this year i have dabbled in the arts of Avatar construction for my fellow guild members as well as designing the guild banner and other bits of site art. I recently started to try my hand at WoW Movie editing. Using the infamous "Blackwing Lair the Movie" as inspiration i have started to produce movies for the guild.

 * Movies
 * Master Brewers vs The Snake Boss - My first ever movie with my technical skills lacking i hope to make it up with humour.
 * Master Brewers vs Mandokir - An attempt to record using Fraps i don't think ill record sound again.
 * Warlock Epic Mount Final Summon - By Far my most watched movie simple informative funny
 * Master Brewers 1st Ony Kill - My first editing success with my new software
 * Master Brewers Hakkar - My favourite for introduction sadly the editing suffers as this was an experiment with new features
 * Master Brewers Undead Race - Probably one of my favourites so far its funny and a bit different
 * -NEW- Death of the Firelord - Proper amount of technical work whent into this one its short intense and dramatic (Please download it, it pains me to see it in nerfed quality)
