StriderKyo is the creation of a Venezuelan anarcho-relativist improv comedy collective known as El Shine del Eslplendoroso Pantomimo (E.S.D.E.P.).
StriderKyo first appeared in the 1970s stage play Lost Years: Dealing With Moonshine Abuse, a cautionary touring production presented to North American high school students. The character's needlessly combative nature and substance-induced lunatic rants gained a cult following and in the late 1990s was brought back as a recurring character in E.S.D.E.P. street-improv assault festivals, recast as a faux-intellectual videogame afficionado.
When the festivals were banned in 1999 by Hugo Chavez' Fifth Republic Movement as counter-revolutionary, the surviving members of the collective able to flee the country relocated to Canada and took their act to the internet. Striking at the heart of radical militaro-leftist conformity through comedy, overbearing insults, and seemingly pointless arguments about videogame minutiae which are actually coded directions and messages of support to Latin American resistance groups, "StriderKyo" has been a semi-valued member of the GameFan/GameGO!/TNL community for half a decade now.
Several collective members have taken turns posting as the character, producing many conceptual electronic tableaus well known throughout the South American anarcho-relativist performance community. Some of the more notable include: 'StriderKyo insults SpoDaddy[1],' 'StriderKyo hates Smash Bros.,' 'StriderKyo acts like he knows everything about every sport[2],' 'Sl1p is a pedophile and here's the graphic evidence,' 'StriderKyo's Robobo Fan Fiction,' 'StriderKyo wins the TNL review contest with an analysis of the awesome Dynasty Tactics but bahn is cheap and refuses to pay shipping and never sends him his Contra: Shattered Solider prize[3],' 'StriderKyo frames EA for inciting street racing and violent accidents[4],' 'Shenmue II is over your head,' the popular summer series 'StriderKyo loves Sony[5],' and the anarcho-minimalist classic, 'StriderKyo bans a creepy Korian dupe account.[6]' The latter led directly to the overthrow of corrupt Quelepa village headman and noted Del Feroz Cartel enforcer Carlito Torres, won two Golden Papaya awards, and was nominated for three more.
In 2004 E.S.D.E.P. collective members dressed as celebrated Venezuelan human rights activist and mime Rafael Cadenas and kidnapped members of Nick's family. They were held at rusty spoonpoint, bound and gagged with strawberry flavoured gauze. They were then forced to watch while group members covered their bodies with a mixture of Dr. Pepper, sour cream and salsa and recreated the cover image to Dynasty Warriors 4: Empires by rubbing against the walls, while another member silently mimed the Hammer Dance. The confrontative performance piece was an ironic commentary on consumer culture and its ties to exploitative cobalt mining practices in Southeast Asia. Nick was so delighted by the performance that the character of StriderKyo was promoted to TNL moderator, a move which has yielded little in the way of practical results since.
StriderKyo looks fat on tv when framing EA but is not in real life. He used to own an Xbox 360 but then it broke four times so he got a Wii and a Playstation 3 instead.
