So you want to know a bit more about Asystole the person rather than Asystole the gamer?  Fair enough.  

Well to start my name is James.  I am 26 and reside in San Antonio, TX where I have lived most of my life besides Hawaii, Arizona, Virginia, and South Carolina.  I am a native born Texan.

I am a professional Firefighter and Medic.  I work for the city of Seguin which lies about 30 miles East of San Antonio.  I have been a paid professional since 1997 and prior to that I volunteered as a firefighter for several local fire departments.

Besides playing games on the computer I also enjoy camping, amateur astronomy, paintball, darts, and pool.  Though I am an avid hunter on my PC in actuality I am not much of a hunter at all.  I've been dove hunting several times but save for a few clay pigeons I have never actually bagged any animals winged or otherwise.

I am also very fond of animals.  I have a Dalmatian named Spot (go figure) and Sugar Glider named Molly (she just had a baby).

I get a lot of questions concerning my screen name Asystole.  Asystole (pronounced a-sis-toe-lee) is a medical term that most anyone in the medical field is familiar with.  It is the term that describes a specific rhythm of the heart present when there is no longer any electrical activity occurring within heart.  Asystole is the flat line you see on a heart monitor when the heart has ceased all activity.  Basically means your dead.  Anyway since I am very active in first-person shooter type multiplayer games I thought this was a morbidly appropriate screen name.  Most medics I have encountered in online games usually get the humor of having such a screen name.
