Username: Robtot



Name: Freaking Matt Kelly!!!!!!!!!z0r

Role: I parade around in a school girl outfit to titillate the fantasies of men on shore leave before they head back to the war. During the brief moments I'm not playing into pervert's fantasies I write content for the sites, talk with publishers and further expand the world domination plan.

What else, besides gaming and Mymedia, do you do?
Fumble my way through Japanese and CGI graphics, I'm not very good at either

What is your favourite game of all time and why?
The Marathon Trilogy from Bungie Software. Way ahead of its time right across the board (graphically, gameplay, level design, story, multiplayer) and even now it's doing stuff that modern games completely fail at. Get em at source.bungie.org/
And plus like, what was the last game that YOU played with the catch phrase 'Frog blast the vent core!'. What was that? Never? Thought so!

What are you currently playing?

DS: The World Ends With You, one of the most amazing games I've played in a LONG time.

PS3: Metal Gear Online Beta

Wii: Mario Kart Wii.... wait.... everyones gonna say that right? Uhhh I'm playing Halo on it.... yeah Halo....

Xbox 360: You know, that game.... you steal cars and stuff and you're like this Russian dude... it's really obscure, you've probably never heard of it

Table: Monopoly (edit: alone)

What game are you anticipating?

DS: Civilization Revolution

Wii: Strongbad's Cool Game For Attractive People

Why isn’t the number 11 pronounced onety one?
Well actually it was, once upon a time.
During the Illuminati's planning of humanities next 5,000 years of history, they knew there was going to be a mass need for low key jobs brought about by mass migration. While the obvious answer was to plan for expansion in commercial employment, they quickly came to the conclusion that while they could create employment, the process would not be financially viable in the capitalistic vision they had in mind. The only way to solve this was to create mass brand awareness, but sadly seven onety one didn't seem catchy enough to be able to deploy as a mass market brand. So in swift action onety one became eleven, and formed the future branding plans for the 7/11 convenience store chain, thus once and for all solving world employment issues. Or at least until the anarchist uprising...

We’re Glad Mr.freaking Kelly finally answered

What else, besides gaming and Mymedia, do you do?Well me thanks for asking! Year 12 is always good fun and occupies most of my time.

What is your favourite game of all time and why? There’s so many its but I’ll have to go with Goldeneye, it basically set the path for so many great FPS’s and so many hours where spent playing as 007 in the fanatic single player, let alone the multiplayer, infact I’m going to go get the N64 cranking right now.

Xbox 360 Rainbow Six: Vegas 2,

Name: Robbie M

Role: MyPSP Admin (Im the one who bans the noobs)

What else, besides gaming and Mymedia, do you do? I work and school. Not much but sometimes i take sickies just to be on MyMedia, I’ve done it about 3 times this year. I think once on MyWii when they were having a medal I was late to work cause I wanted to get the medal. Sad, I know

What is your favourite game of all time and why? My favourite game of all time would probably be '40 Winks' on PS1. It was my first game and it was the best! Its a pretty stupid plot to the story but anyway basically you just go around collecting things in a dream. Its really good fun, but now I’ve got a PS3 it sucks.

What are you currently playing? PS3: Fifa 2008 - I will be playing GTA-IV in a few days though.

What game are you anticipating? GTA-IV for sure. I really hope it lives up to the hype. From what i have seen on trailers all around different websites this game is a must get. I am quite disappointed that we get the uncut version - we don't get to see the virtual boobies

Why is it considered necessary to nail down the lid of a coffin? Because if you don't, people from World of Warcraft will come and open your coffin up and steal you then sell you as a slave but you can't be sold as a slave cause you would already be dead but the people who bought the dead body of the person who sold the dead body who got the dead body out of the coffin wouldn’t have been 'owned' if the coffin was shut . Therefore, you must nail your coffin! Like who didn't know that!?

Thanks to Robbie for his time

Username: RerunWii



Name: Max

Role: My360 Admin - resident spelling/grammar nazi

What else, besides gaming and Mymedia, do you do? YR 12, various part-time/bottom-of-the-barrel jobs. I've played bass guitar for 5 years and drums for a little bit longer (massive amateur)and do a few gigs whenever I can get them.

What is your favourite game of all time and why? Dunno', I'm going to say the Resident Evil and Street Fighter series', gre up with them and loved them since I first played them, capcom is the best developer ever, hands-down...

What are you currently playing? No time currently, spent 10 hours yesterday on a freaking assignment but I'm trying to finish Condemned 2 and will definitely get into GTAIV in the next day or so...

What game are you anticipating? Check my profile on My360, full list of games there, way too hard for me to pick these...

Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer? So you can't see the severed heads when you grab a cornetto...

cheers Max



Username: Elraro



Name:
Joel...the rest I leave to the imagination. Or at least my profile.

Role:
Admin of My360.com.au and resident arsehole.

What else, besides gaming and Mymedia, do you do? I'm a HUGE music buff. It's a passion of mine. I simply love music, particularly metal and prog rock. I play drums mainly but have been around on the stringed instruments as well...just not very much. Aside from music, I'm heavily into the Warhammer 40k tabletop hobby. It's a guilty pleasure, really. I just find myself at peace and so relaxed when I'm there painting these detailed models for hours on end. Plus the satisfaction of completing such a huge task is enough of a reward for me.

What is your favourite game of all time and why?:
It's a toss-up between Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Dark Chronicle. Why? Because I'm gay for RPG's.

What are you currently playing?
Xbox 360: Mass Effect and an odd round of Team Fortress 2 here and there.

PC: World of Warcraft.

Wii: Mario Kart Wii.

What game are you anticipating?
None at the moment. I have too many games I have yet to complete.

Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours?
Because babies don't get punched in the head for snoring in the middle of the night. Thus they get better sleep.

kudos for making people use their imagination
