In the Beginning...
PWC Gaming started off in 2004 as PWE. It was a community designed for SgtMuffin and his friends to play with the same group. The group was for fun and we had a 6 person server running in his basement.
As time went on, SgtMuffin started to get into map design, and set up a special website at the time for our clan which was ut2004.projectilewaffle.com, considering his website was projectilewaffle.com with his friend Paul. The first playable map (completable) was our version of ScorpionCoaster. We clearly had an identity crisis as we shortened the name of our group to PW (ProjectileWaffle). Some of our first maps people may recall being released as AS-PW-* which are all very early maps.
The group for a long time consisted of a relatively small user base, primarily of friends and some great online buddies. Below are some photos of the original headquarters in SgtMuffin’s parent’s basement. He is very gracious that his parents supported his computer hobby.
The Mid-Years...
In 2007, SgtMuffin went to started working full time since graduating from college. As he started earning money, he spent frivolously, and eventually in 2010 bought his first home and got away from the basement… to a house that surprisingly had no basement. With a mortgage of $180/mo (imagine those prices now… wouldn’t that be nice?!) While the initial boom of players had started to fade out a bit, our community was still going strong. Here are some photos of the place.
Current Time
In 2020, SgtMuffin bought the company he had been working at since 2007. He moved to his now current house in the fall of 2020 and things went out of control since.
His house is built for parties and get-togethers. He has a nice relaxing home office where work gets done. Then there is the basement that has been converted into the craziest Arcade Bar you’ve ever seen. While it is not a business our running joke is it’s branded like one.

A lot of the PWC team and friends meet weekly to hang out and play games and just be around friends.
Our beliefs and mission
This community has always been around fun and enjoyment. The world can be a tough place with a lot of negativity. It is important we focus on positive environment we can joke, be sarcastic and find other people who can appreciate what we do.
We are very fortunate to have the people we do and the community we have. Things like this do not just happen organically, it took years of showing who we all are and making a great place to hang out and share in all of life’s adventures (good or bad).
