Could you tell us where you are from and your age?
I currently live in Cincinnati, OH and I am 21 years old.
Would you mind telling us a little about yourself?
I love sports and I am a very competitive person.
How did you find XboxAmerica?

Favorite restaurant?
Cheesecake Factory.
Most famous person you have met?
Peyton Manning of the Indianapolis Colts.
Person you would most like to have dinner with?
Jessica Alba
Who is hotter, Minnie Mouse or Daisy Duck?
Minnie Mouse of course!
PC or MAC?
PC
How long you been an active gamer?
18 years and counting.
What is the story behind your Gamertag?
There was a game called Arctic Thunder for the Playstation and I saw it in a magazine. I kind of stuck with Arctic from that point forward.
Favorite game genre?
First-Person Shooters are my favorite genre. My reasoning is that I love being able to pull off amazing shots that have my opponents in awe. Besides, whats better than a UT Headshot.
Favorite 360 game?
Battlefield 2: Modern Combat - The game was so fun! Strapping a C4 to a car and running it into a tank or a group of enemies was hilarious. I also was a pretty good chopper pilot so spawn camping for 60+ kills and no deaths was just as fun.
All-time favorite game on any platform?
Unreal Tournament (Dreamcast) because it was an amazing game for its time! It really opened the doors for me in competitive shooters.
Xbox 360 game not named Halo 3 you are looking most forward too?
Unreal Tournament 3
How often do you play multiplayer on Xbox Live?
I play on a regular basis probably 3-4 hours a day. I rarely play single player games.
What type of Live Gamer are you?
I would categorize myself as an intense gamer. I always take a competitive angle towards all of the games I play so Im usually very enthralled in my games.
What does your Gamerscore mean to you?
Random Numbers.
Best in-game accomplishment?
Helping my teammates on vBi win some money.
If you could lift 5 things from existing games to make the ultimate game, what games and what parts would they be?
1. Halo 2 Matchmaking.
2. Gears of War Graphics
3. Unreal Tournament Gameplay
4. Dedicated Servers (Battlefield 2:MC)
5. Halo 2 Gametypes
One thing you would like to change about anything related to Xbox 360?
I would like the Dashboard to have the 16-man chatrooms that were on the original Xbox. I would also like to see Clan/Team support integrated into the Xbox 360.
What can be done to improve XboxAmerica?
I would love to see XboxAmerica receive a facelift on the website. A much needed improvement on the visuals would be pleasing to the eyes. Other than that, XbA is great!
