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?
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 did you find XboxAmerica?
Found XboxAmerica when is was still XboxOhio one all night shift at the hospital when surfing the net to STAY AWAKE!
Favorite restaurant?
Outback Steakhouse for the Filet & Fries.
Most famous person you have met?
President George H. Bush (1992)
Person you would most like to have dinner with?
Sammy Hagar (he's gotta have some stories).
Tennis Shoes or Sneakers?
Running Shoes (no tennis or sneaking here).
PC or MAC?
PC
How long you been an active gamer?
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?
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?
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?
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?
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?
Grand Theft Auto IV
How often do you play multiplayer on Xbox Live?
5-6 nights a week (If I'm not working, you can find me on Xbox Live).
What type of Live Gamer are you?
I pretty much stay to myself...NEVER 'trash talk' UNLESS provoked.
What does your Gamerscore mean to you?
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?
"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?
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?
BIGGER HARD DRIVE and FREE THEMES/GAMER PICS when you BUY the game!?!
What can be done to improve XboxAmerica?
Hmmm...maybe more Gamer Events (but I'm being picky).
Got a question or comment? Put it below!
