XbA Username: CROOKLYNMAYO
Gamertag: CROOKLYNMAYO

Could you tell us where you are from and your age?
Brooklyn, New York (yeah baby, yeah!!), born and bred. My family is mixed, being that I'm half Cuban/half Jamaican and 30 years old.

Would you mind telling us a little about yourself?[/b]
Well I'm pretty much an open guy who likes to have fun but also put in a good day's work. I love to hang with my friends and don't hold back on anything. I like to compete and I'm a die-hard Yankee fan!! Right now I'm in a relationship with my girlfriend (whos' a red sox fan) and we are expecting our first child together which I am proud to say is a boy. I already bought a second controller to put in his crib lol

How did you find XboxAmerica?[/b]
One of my real life and online gaming buddy, xStopEnvyingMEx told me about this site and I've been addicted ever since. Now my one goal is to get to the top of the leaderboard (And beat his gamerscore of course)

Favorite restaurant?[/b]
Hmm, I would have to say it would be Aunt Suzie's an Italian place in the Park Slope section of Brooklyn. Been going there since I was a kid and still love the food!!

Most famous person you have met?[/b]
I met a couple of famous folks: Mike Tyson, the hip hop group A Tribe Called Quest, Malik Yoba, Steve Buscemi, and Mayor Rudi Giuliani to name a few

Person you would most like to have dinner with?[/b]
That's an easy one: Jada Pinkett I Think she is so hot!!

Tennis Shoes or Sneakers?[/b]
Definitely Sneakers but arent they the same thing??

PC or MAC?[/b]
That's a tie since I own both

How long you been an active gamer?[/b]
Since I was about 7 or 8 when I beat the game (Frogger in front of my older cousin. That got me hook plus I enjoyed crushing his ego lol

What is the story behind your Gamertag?[/b]
Well the first half is from where I live and the movie by Spike Lee, Crooklyn. The second half, Mayo is a nickname from junior high that stuck with me to this day!!

Favorite game genre?[/b]
That would have to be role playing games. I got hooked on Final Fantasy VII and love a good story line. Plus, I like to customize the character names to people in my life

Favorite 360 game?[/b]
Gears of War is my favorite because I love to play with my friends and talk smack all night long but they need more maps

All-time favorite game on any platform?[/b]
Duh, Final Fantasy VII!!!! It was the greatest game ever made

Xbox 360 game not named Halo 3 you are looking most forward too?[/b]
GTA VI, Gears or War 2, and Mass Effect

How often do you play multiplayer on Xbox Live?[/b]
Almost every time I fire up the Xbox 360

What type of Live Gamer are you?[/b]
I love the trash talk but I tried not to go over board about it. Some people get waaayy to personal and forget that its only a game. Love to compete so Im intense when I play

What does your Gamerscore mean to you?[/b]
Everything!!! I see other gamers with bigger score and I think to myself "Hmm how long will it take me to crush their score?" I feel good every time I heard that wonderful ding and the sign "achievement unlocked"

Best in-game accomplishment?[/b]
Wiping out the enemy's team in Gears of War when I'm the last man standing and they have a full squad in multiplayer (oh I love that feeling)

If you could bogart 5 things from existing games to make the ultimate game, what games and what parts would they be?[/b]
1. GTA Sandbox concept
2. Pop and shoot fighting of Gears of War
3. Create a character from Smackdown vs. Raw
4. Intense fighting from Call of Duty 3
5. The story writers from the Final Fantasy Series (all but FF8, the game blew)

One thing you would like to change about anything related to Xbox 360?[/b]
Make it a lot easier to create your own gamer picture and maybe create your personal page/profile like myspace or something

What can be done to improve XboxAmerica?[/b]
I would love if there was a way to keep track of how many spots you moved up since joining the site so you can track your progress. Other than that nothing at all! You guys rock!!

Kinda like Sucker or Lollipop, Ditch or Creek, Sneaker or Tennis Shoes. LOL Just an inside joke on my part I guess. I had college room mates from Long Island and Jersey and we used to always have drunken arguments on which was the appropriate description.
