Mike's the name.
Viking by nature.

I'm Mike or "RealMikeTheVike". I make Star Citizen content, run the Cardiff Bar Citizen community, and spend my weekends in the Viking Age.

About Mike

Coworkers started calling me "Mike the Vike" because I reenact the Viking Age. The name stuck – so I made it my brand. One week I'm hauling salvage across Stanton, the next I'm holding a shield wall in a castle courtyard.
