Who Is Nighthawk Zale?
[Nighthawk](http://enlist.thebase.sc/?referral=STAR-BWQZ-9WR3&twitch=Nighthawk_zale&youtube=/channel/UC9IGifESkWt-Lk7dkphphqA&beam=Nighthawk_zale&orgsid=SRCON) has been an avid fan of the science fiction genre since his childhood in the early '80s. At the age of 8 he was first introduced to the [Wing Commander](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_Commander_%28franchise%29) saga and spent endless days playing the game, or drawing pictures of the ships and characters.

###Weekdays
*****
The channel's schedule of programs is currently in flux due to my real life. Please be patient as I work my way through school (again).
*****
**Star Citizen Gameplay**
*Mon, Wed thru Fri*
*****
*****
###Weekends
*****
Expect to find me playing other space games on the weekends. Everything from Space Engineers & StarMade to Mass Effect & Elite Dangerous. Not every day has to be Star Citizen, but that doesn't mean it can't be space-mazing!
*****
**Saturday**
Saturday's gameplay will always be randomized according to my gaming mood that particular day. Can't have everything regimented and planned out!
**Sunday**
Hobby Sundays focus on those non-digital things I love to do. More often than not I'll be painting miniature figures from various tabletop war games like Warhammer 40,000, Warmachines, and Infinity:The Game. Sometimes you might catch me building a Gundam model. Who knows!
