Nu: What’s your Gamertag, and what’s the story behind it?
LancerX7. Originally, my name was LancerEvolution7, which was shortened to LancerEvo7, thanks to EzBoard. Then one day, a few of the guys from there and I were having a laugh, and all put X7 on the end of our names, and it just kinda stuck heh.

Nu: Where are you from?
Australia… Yeah, the place with lots of Kangaroo’s and other indigenous stuff..

Nu: How old are you, and what do you do (school, job, family, hobbies)?
I’m 21 years old, and trying hard to find more work… When I’m not gaming of course..

Nu: How long have you been gaming in general?
Oh man.. My father bought me a Sega Master System II when I was about 2-3 years old. He claims it kept me quiet, and was the best thing he ever bought, for his sanity..

Nu: How long have you been a 360 owner?
Not very long unfortunately. I’ve wanted one for a while. I have, however, had my original xbox for a few years..

Nu: What was one of your favorite Xbox / Xbox Live moments?
The grenade I threw around a corner in a Halo 3 map, killing 3 people. The whole team knew about it too, thanks to my mic. 🙂 Since I haven’t had the 360 long, I haven’t had a whole lot of time to do something awesome.

Nu: Which Xbox 360 Achievement are you most proud of?
My Guitar Hero 3 ones. I’m not very good, but I’m trying my best. Halo 3 ones are very nice as well..

Nu: Are you currently working toward any achievements?
Quite a few actually. Mainly the Halo 3 ones. Would be nice to have the “Legendary story mode” one unlocked. 😉

Nu: What game(s) are you playing the most now?
GH3, Halo 3 and Gears of War I’d say. To much World of Warcraft too, but that’s a story for another time.

Nu: What’s playing now (what music do you listen to when away from your Xbox or when listening to music ON your Xbox)?
Right now? lol. Muse – Knights of Cydonia.. Once I heard it on GH3, I loved it. Not an easy song to play tho.

Nu: Do you try to stick with one Gamerpic, or change it frequently?
Stuck with one since day one. I’m using the one from Perfect Dark.

Nu: What is your current favorite Xbox related website to visit?
I must admit, I don’t go looking for xbox 360 news, but to think about 360 sites I know, Winbreak would be it.

Nu: What game are you looking most forward to in 2008?
Guitar Hero 4 and Gears of War 2. I also wonder how UT3 will go on xbox 360..

Nu: Do you have an all time favorite game, for any console or the PC?
Yeah, World of Warcraft.. The game has be HOOKED. Quake 1 would be next on that list, because it was that game that showed me what FPS fun was all about.

Nu: Do you have any gaming buddies you frequently play with / want to make almost as famous as you?
Yeah. My mates IRL.. Piddy, Daniel, Dale, Mysterio, SplicerXT and Squida. They all come over to my place and “Skunge”. (Which means we get in Halo 3 online and own it up..)… Oooof!

Nu: Any parting words for the droves of readers?
Hmm.. Stand up to your parents. When they say “16 hours gaming is to much”….It’s not, they’re just jeleous that they couldn’t do it.. 🙂

I agree, 16 hours is just the beginning of some good gaming. 🙂 Thanks for taking part, LancerX7, let’s hope you spread the word of WinBreak intercontinentally!

Nu: What’s your Gamertag, and what’s the story behind it?

My gamertag is kwerty. I’m a big geek and I’ve been writing software for years so a QWERTY keyboard plays an important role in my career and hobbies. I figured that the gamertag qwerty might be taken so I replaced the q with a k because it’s my favorite letter in the alphabet and that is how kwerty came to be.

Nu: Where are you from?

I live in Centreville, Virginia.

Nu: How old are you, and what do you do (school, job, family, hobbies)?

I am currently 24 and I work for a federal contractor that writes software for the Navy.

Nu: How long have you been gaming in general?

I remember playing Seasame Street math games on my family’s Apple IIe back in the mid to late 80’s. Like most kids, I grew up exposed to healthy doses of Nintendo console and PC games. It wasn’t until ’98 and the release of Starcraft that I started to get interested in online gaming.

Nu: How long have you been a 360 owner?

Ahh, I remember it like it was yesterday…Standing in line outside of Best Buy on Black Friday in 2006, being chilled to the bone by Erie’s cold bitter winds. It wasn’t on sale or anything but that night I decided I really wanted a 360. It was totally worth it.

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

When I actually killed someone on Halo 3! I was so proud of myself. 😀 (it should be noted that I really suck at Halo 3)

Nu: Which Xbox 360 Achievement are you most proud of?

Hexic was the first game where I completed all of the achievements. I love puzzle games, but what I love more is knowing that none of my friends have been able to make a flower of black pearls.

Nu: Are you currently working toward any achievements?

I am in a race to beat one of my friends’ gamerscore. I don’t care what the achievements are, as long as I get them. You’re going down RovinRhonin!

Nu: What game(s) are you playing the most now?

My two favorite games right now are Guitar Hero and Geometry Wars. I am about halfway through the Hard tours in both GH 2 and 3. Just a little bit more practice and hopefully I’ll finally be able to play Expert. Geometry Wars just freakin rocks! Watching those bright neon shapes explode is like crack for my eyes. (Don’t do crack kids)

Other than that, I’m trying to catch up on missing achievements in games like GoW and Crackdown.

Nu: What’s playing now (what music do you listen to when away from you Xbox or when listening to music ON your Xbox?

There’s no better way to rock out to a game of Settlers of Catan than listening to Prodigy, or The Crystal Method’s Tweakend album. And of course I save the classic Irish folk music for those intense races on Burnout Revenge.

..Or was it the other way around…?

Nu: Do you try to stick with one Gamerpic, or change it frequently?

Lately I’ve been pretty happy with the monkey pic.

Nu: What is your current favorite Xbox related website to visit?

Sorry Winbreak, but my time is spent on 360voice.com keeping tabs on how happy my xbox is. Plus it’s a great way to see what my friends have been up to as well. Don’t be too upset though, you come in a close 2nd.

Nu: What game are you looking most forward to in 2008?

THE FORCE UNLEASHED! Plus Gears of War 2!

Nu: Do you have an all time favorite game, for any console or the PC?

Starcraft on the PC still beats them all for me. I’m really excited about sequel, I just hope they announce a release date soon.

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

I have to give props to crowdozer who is the reason I bought a 360 in the first place. And I can’t forget to mention ScooterMcT who can kick my ass in just about anything Xbox.

Nu: Any parting words for the droves of readers?

umm, thanks for nominating me for the BKAG series. Readers, keep reading winbreak, and winbreak, keep doing a good job.

Another one down! A huge thanks to KWERTY, a long time friend of mine and pretty much the whole reason that I have an Xbox 360!

Nu: What’s your Gamertag, and what’s the story behind it?

GerbilJammer0 The story behind it is kind of boring actually. Everyone knows about the Richard Gere and gerbil rumor. That played a little part. Tha big part is back in the day when broadband first reached the masses… I was still on dial up. Everyone I played against in Quakeworld was high speed whereas I was a HPB. In order to compete, I had to revert to tactics such as hit in run, poke in the booty, and rocket rape. At that time my online persona wasn’t so politically friendly. During a clan match someone said I was as quick as a gerbil and I like to hit people from behind. Naturally it evolved into GerbilJammer.

Nu: Where are you from?

New Orleans, Louisiana

Nu: How old are you, and what do you do (school, job, family, hobbies)?

I’m a 28 year old Network Engineer and IT Administrator.

Nu: How long have you been gaming in general?

Ever since 1980. 🙂

Nu: How long have you been a 360 owner?

Since day one.

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

Just enjoying games with friends and listening to the audible garbage that most people talk.

Nu: Which Xbox 360 Achievement are you most proud of?

Too many to list one.

Nu: Are you currently working toward any achievements?

I don’t really work towards achievements. I usually play a game and then look to see what achievements would make me play that game in a different manner to which I previously played through.

Nu: What game(s) are you playing the most now?

I’ve been playing some Guitar Hero 2 and 3. I still suck. Gears Of War (PC). Also Doom XBLA from time to time. No such thing as l337 skillz in Doom. Just pure fun.

Nu: What’s playing now (what music do you listen to when away from you Xbox or when listening to music ON your Xbox)?

AC/DC, Ozzy, ZZ Top

Nu: Do you try to stick with one Gamerpic, or change it frequently?

I try to stick with my LSU pic. I live in Arkansas, and it kills my friends to see the gamerpic every time they come over.

Nu: What is your current favorite Xbox related website to visit?

I like a bunch. 360voice.com, winbreak.com, kotaku.com, teamxbox.com, and xbox-scene.com.

Nu: What game are you looking most forward to in 2008?

I am still playing catchup on all the 2007 games.

Nu: Do you have an all time favorite game, for any console or the PC?

It has to be Unreal Tournament. No other game, not even it’s sequels, captures the refined gameplay.

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

NuAngel and the Hellz clan. A great bunch to sit back and enjoy some games with.

Nu: Any parting words for the droves of readers?

I am not famous. Might be soon because Microsoft keeps trying to make me change my gamertag, but suggests HamsterJammer as an alternative… I’ve got it on camera. And if you are having DRM issues with Xbox Live content, do not give up on getting a fix. Call back and demand for it to be fixed. Call back frequently to aggravate the hell out of them. It might take them escalating your problem to Jesus himself, but hopefully they will fix it.

Nu: What’s your Gamertag, and what’s the story behind it?

My gamertag is Aiya OPPS Sorry. The main story behind is was actually my brother who wanted to create something funny and unusual. The truly unusual part is that he actually couldn’t spell oops right while creating the gamertag, so my gamertag Aiya OPPS Sorry was born.

Nu: Where are you from?

I currently live in Fremont, California

Nu: How old are you, and what do you do (school, job, family, hobbies)?

I currently am 15 years old and am a high school student

Nu: How long have you been gaming in general?

Generally I have been gaming since the age of 6 when i first picked up streetfighter on the NES and have had a blast playing ever since.

Nu: How long have you been a 360 owner?

About 2 years

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

One of my favorite xbox live moments is whenever I’m able to have a successful experience with any of my live friends on any of my 360 games. The magic and addicting nature of when you just are with that special group of people makes it very hard to put the controller down.

Nu: Which Xbox 360 Achievement are you most proud of?

The achievement that I am most proud of would probrably be the Win the War achievement from Call of Duty 4 as the storyline for that game was just fantastic and you really don’t need a reward to complete it.

The achievements in Assassin Creed and Bioshock

Nu: What game(s) are you playing the most now?

Call of Duty 4 only because I have yet to pick up Rainbow Six Vegas 2

Nothing as I don’t use my xbox as a music station

Stick with one unless I am quite bored with it

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas

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

Nu: Any parting words for the droves of readers?
