Blizzard interface pirate! Sam Lantinga, more often known as Slouken, frequently posts help and updates for the World of Warcraft UI, and is very much involved with the community. He currently does not accept cookie donations due to being on a diet.

It is believed that Slouken's avatar is not an accident. He looks quite a bit like it, except younger and without a hat.

Prior to joining Blizzard, Slouken was the lead programmer for Loki Entertainment Software. Loki's stock in trade was making games for the Linux operating system, as well as porting popular games to Linux. He is also the primary developer of SDL, or Simple DirectMedia Layer. SDL is a cross-platform game development library.
