Introduction: Emiel "Party Spice" Nickolson

I am Emiel “Party Spice” Nickolson. I am 21 years old and a freshman at the University of Utrecht where I study Game Technology. Despite being the oldest of the group, or maybe because of it, I have the reputation to be a little on the wild side and a little crazy at that. Hence my nickname. If you ever see me in public and want to say hi, keep in mind that the rest of the day may not go as you planned it. You will have a night you will never forget, although you probably will not remember large chunks of it. You will probably wake up somewhere else (like Barcelona or Budapest) with a huge hangover and clothes on you have never seen before. Right next to you will lie a beautiful woman, although it also just might be a donkey. So say hi, if you dare.

Introduction: Jimi "Terrible Spice" van Oosten

In a world where everything is orderly and boring, there are only a handful of people who can restore chaos and madness. Jimi "Terrible Spice" van Oosten is one of them. Armed with terrible jokes, dark humour and the creativity of a door he's determined to reflect this in his personality. Oh, and also in his games. Going boldly where many men already have been, but in a more unconvential and awesome way, he is determined to make the most out of his Gametechnology Study on the University of Utrecht. Where will you be when the madness comes alive? And yes. Doors are creative. It's a Dutch thing.

Introduction: Mathijs "Tiny Spice" Bangma

Hi. Some people call me Mathijs Bangma, others say Tiny Spice. Being two years younger than any other Spice Girl, I'm early to the party - but you're damn right I am the life of it. Before a friend of mine told me I could study my greatest passion, I didn't know what I wanted to do with my future, but now he's told me and I do: I'm studying Game Technology and I'm going to make games. My biggest dream, consequently, is presenting my own Triple A game on a big stage - small body (which is always ready), big dreams. My head is always filled with ideas, and sometimes, if I'm lucky, even the means to accomplish them.

Small person, great man.

Tiny out.

Introduction: Eva "PSI Spice" Witschge

As a young’un Eva ‘PSI Spice’ Witschge wanted to do something creative in life. She started a 3D Visual Arts course in the southern parts of the Netherlands over a year ago, combining her interest for games and art. There she learned the basics of creating computer graphics. While the course was very enjoyable, she actually found out programming might be more of her cup of tea, putting art on the side as a hobby. She decided to study game technology at Utrecht University. Whether she eventually wants to work for a big game company, or a smaller, more intimate, indie-game company, she hasn’t decided yet. But she does hope that her future career will take her across the world.

Introduction: Max "Grumpy Spice" Houx

Hello. My name is Max “Grumpy Spice” Houx. I’m a freshman game technology student at the University of Utrecht. I owe the nickname to my ever so positive attitude towards all thing I have the pleasure to encounter. Another possible nickname was “Sarcasm Spice” but that just didn’t seem accurate enough. If you ever happen to see me in public and wish to either say hi or shake hands, then please don’t. You’re advised to keep a minimal distance of 5 meters and to regard me with nothing but awe and respect.

Introduction: Johnno "Tall Spice" de Vos

For the person reading this, I am Johnno "Tall Spice" de Vos.
Like my group members I am currently in my first year of Gametechnology at the Utrecht University.
I think you can guess why I got this nickname.
I'm always towering above the rest, and because of that, I'm not hard to miss.
If you want to know what the weather is like up there, I suggest you watch the weather report because I have no clue.
And apoligies if I sit in front of you at the cinema or in class, I can't really help it either.

Introduction: Thomas "Shiny Spice" Kok

Hi there! My name is Thomas "Shiny Spice" Kok, 18 years of age and freshman game technology student at the University of Utrecht just like my teammates. I have no clue what this nickname is supposed to mean or why my teammates thought it was appropriate for me. Actually I do have some clues, but for my own sake I won't go into detail. Originally I considered "Tall Spice", since I am pretty tall, but that name was unfortunately already taken by Tall Spice. Naming one of us Taller Spice wasn't possible either since we're pretty much the same length. Anyways, I have nothing else to say.
