Gamertag: IM CHIEF
Could you tell us where you are from and your age?
I live in Columbus, OH and I am 35 years old. I grew up in Caldwell, OH (population 2,500).
Would you mind telling us a little about yourself?[/b]
My real name is J.D. - I'm in the Final Year of a 3 year Pulmonary/Critical Care/Sleep Medicine Fellowship. I'm still single (probably because of my jobs' hours, perfectionist character, and my Xbox/Xbox 360!) and live with an 8 year old cat named Cabo. Have spent all but the last 2 years of my life living in Ohio (GO BUCKS!) and have basically been either in school or training (Internship/Residency/Fellowship) for my entire adult life.

How long you been an active gamer?[/b]
Bribed a medical student on my service for an original xbox @ cost 2 days after its release in 11/01...been addicted since!
What is the story behind your Gamertag?[/b]
IM CHIEF - picked it at the onset of the HALO craze, its simple "Internal Medicine CHIEF (Resident)" which I was at the time in 2002.
Favorite game genre?[/b]
If I had to pick one, its sports games. I played college baseball, but the baseball games pretty much suck, so football, hoops, hockey, golf, boxing, etc...have 'em all. FPS are a close second, mainly because of the comradery of playing them over Xbox Live.
Favorite 360 game?[/b]
Not GoW (just think its way over rated). I guess if I had to pick just one, I think it was Fight Night 3 - graphics were awesome and playing on Live is ALWAYS a blast.
All-time favorite game on any platform?[/b]
Halo ( I think I've played years of my life on this game - would play multiplayer slayer for days with my friends (even when oncall at work).
Xbox 360 game not named Halo 3 you are looking most forward too?[/b]
Grand Theft Auto IV
How often do you play multiplayer on Xbox Live?[/b]
5-6 nights a week (If I'm not working, you can find me on Xbox Live).
What type of Live Gamer are you?[/b]
I pretty much stay to myself...NEVER 'trash talk' UNLESS provoked.
What does your Gamerscore mean to you?[/b]
My gamerscore is important, but I just view it as a measure of the time I commit to playing games. Certainly, I don't use it to measure my skill (how tough was it to leave my 360 on for 8 straight hrs for GRAW achievement points?).
Best in-game accomplishment?[/b]
"Eagle Eyed Driver (5,000 miles driven)" - Test Drive Unlimited.
If you could bogart 5 things from existing games to make the ultimate game, what games and what parts would they be?[/b]
Fighting Graphics from FN 3, "Coffee Dates' from GTA, the cars from Test Drive Unlimited, the super powers of Marvel, with a Halo 2 on line experience!
One thing you would like to change about anything related to Xbox 360?[/b]
BIGGER HARD DRIVE and FREE THEMES/GAMER PICS when you BUY the game!?!
What can be done to improve XboxAmerica?[/b]
Hmmm...maybe more Gamer Events (but I'm being picky).
