Blogs \ MyMedia Admin Interviews - MyWii + MyDS
Continuing the MyMedia Admin interviews, we finally have some Actual admin. Today we sit down the the admin team from MyWii and MyDS. These guys are volunteers and we understand that an admin position across MyMedia is more than being a normal forum moderator that you get at other sites. For that we sincerely thank them for all the time and hard work that they put in, and now it's time to sit down and have a chat!
So without further ado, I present to you the hardest hitting interviews you'll see on the Internet all year.
K-M4N (K-Man aka Evil_Guy)
Real name: Kenni (and he LIVES!!!)
Location: California, USA - the sunshine state!
Role at MyMedia: Basic regular admin role at MyWii + MyPS3, handling most American members, being Guyver's punching bag, and adding games (MyPS3 only)
Outside of MyMedia what do you spend your time doing?
Not much, just spend time on the computer. Not a socialable kind of a guy as I like to keep myself private. Oh listen to my iPod Touch!
What are you currently playing?
Well count the Wii out as I haven't bought a game in over two years! Though MadWorld and Punch-Out!! has been calling me but no monies, RAAAAGGGEEE!!!
PS3 - Warhawk
DS - Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time
If you were trapped on a deserted island with anyone, who would it be and why?
That's a toughie. I mean there's so many people here that I would looooooveee to spend time on a deserted island so my pick goes to... Malaka! Surprised? I am to. =O
What is your most played game of all time?
That would have to be Warhawk on the PS3 of course. My most played online game of all time. In fact I have clocked in more hours than Resistance 2 and Call of Duty 4! Oh and I just earned Captain rank, WOOT!
What is your least favourite game of all time and why?
I can't think of one so I'll just say any half-assed third party game on Wii
What upcoming game are you most anticipating?
There is a LOT especially for PS3. I won't say the most obvious ones but I am excited for Dead Rising 2 and BioShock 2. More M rated games for my ever so growing PS3 collection.
Where do you think gaming will be in 15 years?
I hope gaming doesn't change at all and that it will stick to the regular sitting on your ass and enjoying the good life style. It's nice to know that Microsoft and Sony are entering the motion sensing business but that crap will get old fast. I just hope they won't start putting in more energy into the casual market. Even though Nintendo made dumb money off of that, doesn't mean Microsoft or Sony have to do the same.
How can you hear yourself think?
I can and I sound like Keanu Reeves.
Speedyg
Real name: James B
Location: NSW
Role at MyMedia: Administrater at MyWii
Outside of MyMedia what do you spend your time doing?
Well, I go fishing occasionally, when its not raining(it is pretty much always raining here), Quad riding(when it is raining ), i enjoy sport(getting into a soccer team next year!), i enjoy cooking occasionally and hanging with mates.
What are you currently playing?
Well, bit of this, bit of that really
Nintendo Wii
- Donkey Kong Jungle Beat NPC
- Mario Kart(Now and again)
- Wii Sports Resort
PS3
- Guitar Hero: Legends of Rock
- Resistance 2
If you were trapped on a deserted island with anyone, who would it be and why?
The Stay Puft Marshmellow Man because you can never really get sick of marshmellows. And you would probably have a fire, so whats a camp fire without marshmellows? *Starts singing*
What is your most played game of all time?
I would have to say Banjo Kazooie/Tooie. I spent hours on those games
What is your least favourite game of all time and why?
UHHHHHHHHH, probably Wii Play. I(and probably everyone else) just got it for the Wii Remote that was bundled with it.
What upcoming game are you most anticipating?
Ohh, thats a pretty hard one to answer. There are alot of great titles heading our way this year and next. But i would probably have to say....Super Mario Galaxy 2.
Where do you think gaming will be in 15 years?
Well, i think that everything will have at least motion sensor capabilities, 15 years is a long time...I couldn't really have a straight answer for you there. With Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft making crazy decisions left, right and centre its hard to tell what will happen. But one things for sure, it will be good!
If you had x-ray vision, but closed your eyes, could you still see?
I would say so, because X-Ray vision just really shows the bones doesn't it? *Closes eyes, tries to see through eyelids*
Matteh
Real name: Matthew Shmabaloo.
Location: Queensland
Role at MyMedia: MyWii Admin, patrolling the forums, writing news, holding medals. Bit of everything.
Outside of MyMedia what do you spend your time doing?
Work at Woolworths, spend time with my friends or just bludge at home with my good friend..Nintendo Wii.
What are you currently playing?
Nintendo Wii and Wii Sports Resort. Archery and Sword Fighting mostly.
If you were trapped on a deserted island with anyone, who would it be and why?
One of my closest friends, we'd be used to each other by now so we'd be able to handle each other on the island...and wouldn't go insane and try to kill each other either.
What is your most played game of all time?
I'd have to say it would be Super Smash Bros Melee. Played it so much when I got it.
What is your least favourite game of all time and why?
Hmm..Frolf on Wii Sports Resort. Ha, it never goes where I want it too.
What upcoming game are you most anticipating?
New Super Mario Bros! 2D, multiplaying action!
Where do you think gaming will be in 15 years?
Motion control will definitely be apart of it, also perhaps..mind control? Virtual gaming, so you are in the actual world, instead of being behind the screen. You're in it.
Are zebras black with white stripes, or white with black stripes?
They are white with black stripes. They have a white belly and you see where the stripes start and end on the body!
=D
sjt333
Real name: Potato McGavin
Location: Omicron Persei 8
Role at MyMedia: Kudos collector, also a MyWii admin or something.
Outside of MyMedia what do you spend your time doing?
Sleep and prepare for the coming ice age.
What are you currently playing?
Wii - Right now Grand Slam Tennis is in my wii but I've been rotating between Boom Blox: Bash Party, Pikmin1&2 and The Conduit.
DS - I just finished Mario&Luigi: Partners In Time, I should probably get round to finishing TWEWY.
What is your most played game of all time?
I'm not sure so im just going to say Windwaker.
What is your least favourite game of all time and why?
I...hmmmm. I don't think I actually have one.
What upcoming game are you most anticipating?
I haven't been hyped for a game in a while, it works out better that way.
Where do you think gaming will be in 15 years?
I don't know and i don't care. As long as I can still play games I'll be happy. Unless it's virtual reality, that can go to hell.
Why do people never say "it's only a game" when they're winning?
Because that would lead to someone getting punched in the nads.
dossaer
Real name: the Doss
Location: Sydney, NSW
Role at MyMedia:: MyWii's resident grumpy old man (formally in charge of kicking n00bs down wells)
Outside of MyMedia what do you spend your time doing?
I'm a motorcyclist and doting father
What are you currently playing?
Wii Sports Resort (Wii), GTA Chinatown Wars (DS) RE5 (360) RedAlarm (Virtual Boy) God of War: Chains of Olympus (PSP)
If you were trapped on a deserted island with anyone, who would it be and why?
Scarlett Johansson, she still owes me five bucks! *grumble grumble*
What is your most played game of all time?
I've clocked more hours on Tetris than any other game.
What is your least favourite game of all time and why?
Rise of the Robots (SNES/3DO) =[ World record for squandered potential.
What upcoming game are you most anticipating?
Metroid Other M
Where do you think gaming will be in 15 years?
Fully interactive cloud gaming experiences with a hint of direct neural interface. I think Microsoft's Natal is forging the right path for user interface, that's for sure. The definitions of gaming, information technology and media will be blurred.
Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
Because he never reached sexual maturity. Without appropriate social and chemical (pheromone) stimuli, his body never entered puberty. By the time Jane turned up, sadly it was too late.!
iamtom
Real name: Thomas J. Robinson
Location: Melbourne.
Role at MyMedia: Newest MyDS admin, forum control?
Outside of MyMedia what do you spend your time doing?
I spend my little free-time split between schoolwork, which involves copious amounts of study and effort, and my girlfriend, which seemingly requires copious amounts of attention...No-one tells me these things. Ever. Aside from that, I travel on trains. A lot. I actually spend more time on a train then I do playing video games, which is kind of depressing.
What are you currently playing?
Heroes of Newerth - PC
Monster Hunter: Freedom Unite - PSP
There's nothing released for me to play on Nintendo DS.
If you were trapped on a deserted island with anyone, who would it be and why?
That's a tough choice...It's probably a tie between my girlfriend, Emma Watson and both of them at once >_> Yes, I'm a teenager...don't give me that look.
What is your most played game of all time?
Easily Ragnarok Online. I have sunk several thousand hours into that over the last few years since it was released in English. It's either that, or Diablo 2. I used to play both of those games religiously.
What is your least favourite game of all time and why?
Oh god. I don't really know. Pick a game based on Naruto and run with it, I suppose, or Counter-Strike/CS:S...it's not that I dislike Counter-Strike, it's just that I detest the community, and I'm a big believer in communities. Might also be because I suck at Counter-Strike >_>'
What upcoming game are you most anticipating?
Probably Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 because it looks utterly sexy - and I don't really like FPS. Been watching Final Fantasy XIII and XIV lately, too, and they're shaping up to be some games for me to get. Also, Batman: Arkham Asylum - do I really need to explain? I love Batman. Yeah, that's 4 games...but it's soooo hard to choose just one....
Where do you think gaming will be in 15 years?
Ever seen or played a .Hack// anime or game? I'm hoping we'll all be playing MMORPG's and video games in complete virtual-reality, and that we'll be able to move how we want, as we want, adding new aspects to multiplayer gaming. Just no nasty coma's, thanks. I'm all for blowing people up in First-Person shooters, too.
Why do scientists call it "re"search when looking for
something new?
(different for everyone)
It's a government conspiracy created to fool us into thinking we're researching newer and newer things...everything has actually been discovered and we're in a world akin to the Matrix. The Government just leaks us new information and technology as we want and require it. You know I'm right .
insidious
Real name: Julian
Location: NSW
Role at MyMedia: MyDS Admin
Outside of MyMedia what do you spend your time doing?
Study at tafe, hunt for work and go out with mates to the movies.
What are you currently playing?
Oh gee. Where to begin. PC: Cod 1,4,5. Wii: Grand Slam Tennis, Tiger Woods 10. 360: Battlefield 1943, PS3: nothing as of yet, hoping to get Fat Princess soon. DS:Nothing really.
If you were trapped on a deserted island with anyone, who would it be and why?
My best friend I guess. She means the world to me.
What is your most played game of all time?
Call of Duty 1, 5 years and counting <3
What is your least favourite game of all time and why?
Call of Duty 2. Single player was decent but multiplayer was terrible. Graphics were bad, game play was poor.. /rcon +Recoil anyone?
What upcoming game are you most anticipating?
Definitely Zelda on the wii. Just the thought of a wii exclusive Zelda makes me drool.
Where do you think gaming will be in 15 years?
I don't think it will be too different from today. Graphics will definitely be close to photo-realism by then surely. Other than that, controls and styles of games I doubt will differ too much.
If 4 out of 5 people suffer from diarrhea does that mean the fifth one enjoys it?:
Maths isn't my forte.
However 4+5=9. Nine being the number after 8 and before Ten. That said, 10 does come after 9 but in fact comes before 11... OH HANG ON! You're asking me about non-verbal diarrhea.. Ok back on to the original question.. 4-5=1.. Can I have some money now?
Azza123
Real name: Aaron
Location: Queensland
Role at MyMedia: MyDS Admin.
Outside of MyMedia what do you spend your time doing?
Not all too much, actually. Boring life, I suppose...
What are you currently playing?
Xbox 360: Midnight Club: Los Angelas
PC: Battlefield Heroes
DS: Nothing, sadly...
PSP: Ace Combat: Skies of Deception
If you were trapped on a deserted island with anyone, who would it be and why?
Anyone? Tom. I'll wait until he dies, eat some of his flesh to survive and use the rest of his caucus to sail away.
What is your most played game of all time?
Pokemon Emerald, I think. From what I remember, I clocked between 200-300 hours in it.
What is your least favourite game of all time and why?
World of Warcraft. I hate it. WITH A PASSION!
What upcoming game are you most anticipating?
Ah! Too many! I'll list a few!
Forza 3
Assassins Creed 2
LittleBigPlanet PSP
Assassins Creed PSP
Gran Turismo PSP
Halo 3: ODST
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
I think I may be missing a few, but that's all that comes to mind.
Where do you think gaming will be in 15 years?
Motion control seems to only be a phase, I mean in the next 15 years we'll be far beyond that! Possible controlled by mind? I can imagine life-like graphics in the next decade and possibly seeing digital distribution as a standard.
If it’s true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?
To laugh at. Isn't it obvious!?
Thanks to everyone who participated! Next we'll have the interviews for My360 and MyFrag, they'll be up on Sunday.
