Well, Akbip was a good sport and made the necessary modifcations to be out 35th installment of Better Know a Gamer! If you’re interested, you can Nominate a Gamer, or even yourself, all you need is an email address! So read on and learn about Akbip!

NuAngel: What’s your Gamertag, and what’s the story behind it?
— Akbip (Steam). There is a hidden meaning that has never been told about it, but I think I will keep it that way :).

Nu: Where are you from, how old are you, and what do you do (school, job, family, hobbies)?
— Wichita, KS. I am 25. I own my own computer business, have a wife and son, enjoy gaming and working on machines.

Nu: How long have you been gaming in general?
— About 20 years.

Nu: How long have you been a 360 owner?
— I used to own a 360 but that has been a long time ago. I only game on PC now as I favor it highly over consoles now. Sorry console gamers. 🙁

Nu: What was one of your favorite Xbox / Xbox Live moments?

Nu: Which Xbox 360 Achievement are you most proud of?
— My favorite Steam achievement probably has to be getting 1000 saps as spy. Not that it was hard, but it was the last one I got as I don’t do achievement idle servers.

Nu: Are you currently working toward any achievements?
— Nah, not really. I more enjoy the pro gaming scenes (TF2/LoL).

Nu: Do you have any gaming buddies you frequently play with / want to make almost as famous as you (shoutouts)?
