How long ago did you start playing TF2?
-I hijacked my boyfriend's account for like a year before he finally just bought the game for me, so probably like a year and a half.
What other games do you play?
-Left 4 Dead (2), the newer Final Fantasy games (VII and up), PlayStation 2 classics like Kingdom Hearts, Shadow of the Colossus, etc.
What does your screen name mean?
-Lol, uh...when I was twelve, I went to go sign up for a site and every possible name that I could think of was taken, so I just took a name of a character from an anime that I liked at the time (Toboe from Wolf's Rain) and screwed around with it. It stuck, obviously. I also never have to worry about my screen name being taken.
Have you ever played games competitively?
-Nope. I've always kind of been interested but I don't really know how it works.
What is your favorite thing about addiction to gaming?
-Lots of good players who just happen to be fun, cool people, too. That's pretty hard to come by.
What ATG servers do you play on?
-Badwater - pretty much exclusively.
What are you most proud of about your TF2 career?
-Being able to play a decent Backburner Pyro. I think I'm pretty okay at it. I bust out the regular flamethrower every once in a while, but I've developed a pretty effective method of ambushing people with the Backburner. Oh, and Steak House asking me to wear the [ATG] tag was pretty flattering, too.
What do you like most about our forums?
-Everyone's active. Seriously, it's a big plus. And I have yet to encounter any trolls/sociopaths, which is rare.
What are some suggestions that you could give to ATG to improve our community?
-Not much, really, other than to maybe take more advantage of twitter, facebook, YouTube, etc. You know...branch out.
What classes do you play on TF2, and what is your favorite?
-I play a lot of Pyro and it's definitely my favorite, but I try and be conscious of what classes the team's lacking and play those, too. Like Medic. Especially Medic.
DO you consider yourself a W/M1 pyro?
-Nah. I can be a little suicidal at times (it's in the blood), but my trademark is "It's all about the dance"...even if I never say it to anyone. With the Backburner especially, you have to be kind of sneaky. And Badwater has so many cliffs...why not take advantage of them? Oh, and I'm focusing on getting better with the shotgun, too, at the moment.
What is your blog all about?
-I've always been a big enthusiast for gamers and our ever-expanding "culture" so I talk about that. Not just games, necessarily, but gamer events, things gamers like, etc.
How did you get into blogging?
-Well, for starters, I'd love to get into the gaming industry. My friends have always told me that I "complain" a lot (it's called "criticizing", thanks), so I figure I'd put it to good use and try to establish a more analytical way of thinking about games and a more professional way of expressing my ideas about them. Also, a lot of people use their blogs like personal diaries which I find annoying, so I wanted to try something different that other people might find interesting to read.
Is it true that you like console gaming more than cpu gaming and why?
-Not necessarily. All things considered, I'm still kind of new to playing on the PC, so I can't really offer a solid verdict, but I will say that I have a lot of fond memories playing console games...especially when I was younger. I think they're really just two different ways to experience games.
You have some exotic pets ... what is one of your most memorable pet experiences?
-Just the little, everyday things, I guess--Kiwi flirting with every guest that ever comes over (usually in the form of "Kiwi! Kiwi! Kiwi!"), Mango yelling in sheer delight at the sight of a banana...they like to do things like wake me up in the morning and cuddle with me under the blankets, sing/dance along to music, laugh at my dad's horrible jokes, climb in my shirt, and so on. I know a lot of people don't believe me when I say that birds make good pets, but they really are my best friends. :3
