I'm a software/network engineer designing creating modifications to better the community. You can contact me by pming me on the forum or connecting to my IRC @ irc.brandanlasley.com. I worked for Intel Corporation when I was 14 then got very sick and quit, I live in a 2 story house in Portland, Oregon. I started computer programming in the 5th grade while trying to help out with Populous: Tribal Conquest witch turned out to be a failure because everyone left. I've made over 20 projects (most not released to general public) to help the populous community, most of which go unnoticed, but it still helped me become a better computer programmer. Right now I'm working a game development in the network engineering field for Roleplay 2 or ECW http://moddb.com/games/rp2 or http://roleplay2.com

Early Era

I got this game on my birthday in February 2000 after playing the demo for 2 years off of the Sim City 3000 Demo me and my bother would played lan until 2003. I later broke/lost 5 disks and spent probably over 100$ in replacements; In 2003 I broke the disc in between the couch. This is the dark ages. I didn't find another copy of the game until I discovered torrents in 2005 and the Popre community. I didn't like online games very much so I helped King Warg out with his matchmaker until finally in 2007 I decided to rejoin Popre and had Kiyana delete my old username because it was linked to an invalid email address. I Worked with King Warg at Populous Resurrection modding and developing new tools to help better the populous community from 2005 - 2007 was known as Popbot, PopulousThekill. Helped with the Populous: Tribal Conquest game for 2 years before the production stalled to the point where I was not needed anymore. I owned a website called Http://populous3.org that held a large forum and database where the community hung out and I posted my projects, unfortunately, the forum was accidently deleted when by a software malfunction in the Cpanel software the website never resumed operations. In 2006 I began to get very sick very often starting with Strep Throat and progressing on to Mono and MRSA; I suffer from constant sore throats ever since then. In December 2012 my blood cell count was 270 (HIV/AIDS = 250) and was hospitalized for a week until they my blood cell count returned to normal and the reason for this is unknown, but everything except sore throats; I skipped my Senior year of my High School (Aloha High School) and now i am going to Portland Community College.

The Name PopBot

After switching my name from PopulousTheKill to Popbot I went on a long line of trolling. I was known as King Warg's AI he programmed to play online against player and respond to chats. I later on also did it in the Popre Community as well as Incawarrior's bot. The name was eventually changed to Brandan in 2008 when I rejoined the Populous Reincarnated Community.
