Gaming

Favorite Game (Current)? NHL 11 (SOCOM 4 would have been if PSN ever gets back online)


Favorite Game (All Time)? SOCOM 1 & 2, I also need to give a shout out to the online Splinter Cell series (Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory)


How did you choose your GT? WAAAAAYY back in the day, I opened a new AIM account and couldn't figure out a stupid screen name......so AOL suggested this and I just went with it and it stuck. The number 17 is from my baseball days and has become my favorite number.


What is your gaming set up like? Nothing too sophisticated, 56' LCD Projection, with 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound


What games are you looking forward to? Brink and Diablo 3


What Xbox 360 Achievement are you most proud of? Zuma - Sharp Shooter (was freakin hard, for me atleast)


What does your significant other think about your gaming? I know most of you will insert your favorite "lap/TROCKS" joke in here....but my real girl Bethany.....is very cool, I have a good balance between my alone time and my girl time. She supports anything I enjoy as I have the same respect for her. It makes for a great relationship and certainly a smooth life. She is my best friend and probably the best thing to have ever happened to me.

SG Related


How did you arrive at SG? I was playing Pandora Tomorrow and ran into T1gerblade, he introduced me to SG loved playing with everyone and stuck around.


What is it that makes you keep coming back to the SG Forums? The people and the amazing friends I have made.


What SG thread is most memorable to you? Way to many to pick one.....but when ZOMG! was first published and the laughter that went on with the zipper bashing was pretty damn funny. All the Spring Fling threads...Why? Because they brought alot of laughter.


Best SG Moment? Meeting everyone at the 2nd Spring Fling in NJ @ Ace's House.

If you had to choose one what would you want: X-Ray vision or Batman's utility belt?X-ray vision for sure.


Share one thing interesting thing about yourself that many folks might not know. I was scouted by many Major League baseball teams and was very close to signing with the Atlanta Braves until I blew out my shoulder. I have a nice framed document on my wall at work to remind me of how close I was.


When you were little, who was your favorite super hero and why? He-Man, because the beginning of the cartoon was probably the most bad ass song EVER!!!!


Name something that you lied to your parents about that you still haven't come clean on?

It was actually my first real experience with alcohol.
