• Gamer Spotlight: Denea

    This time we feature a super special double Gamer Spotlight, first up is Denea. Enjoy the read and congratulations Denea. Stay tuned for part two of the super special double Gamer Spotlight....


    What does your Gamertag mean?



    Denea is my last name, and that is all. Be prepared for a boring Q&A.


    How old are you?


    I am 11,617 days old since birth, today.


    Where do you live?


    I live on a road in the sticks known as Zoar Valley, located in Western NY, just south of Buffalo.


    Do you have any kids? If so, what are their ages?


    I have 1 amazing daughter who will be turning 8 in 2 weeks.


    How did you learn or hear about AGE and what brought you to our community?


    I was a part of another community back in 2007 to 2009, and decided to take a break from gaming. When I decided to start playing again, I searched the XBOX Forums, and came across AGE. I don't recall who were the posters on the thread, but thank you. I really enjoy this community.


    How long have you been playing video games?


    Been playing the past 25+ years.


    How long have you been playing games online?


    I started playing games online when I was hooked on Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis (PC) back in late 2001, and have been doing it ever since.


    What's your favorite game to play online?


    Can't really say that I have "a" favorite game, but I do enjoy playing NHL, shooters, and whatever game is currently on a game night on my days off. I miss Brotherhood.


    What was the first game you played online?


    Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis (PC)


    What was the first game you played online with fellow AGE members, if you can remember?


    I believe it was either Gears 2 or Black Ops


    Is there an arch nemesis on Live that you always feel is your best competition or someone you always want to beat?


    Assassin's Creed - Jigsaw hc & PMH360
    Battlefield 3 - F1SH KC (tank-whorism) & You S4W Nothing (knife-whorism)


    When you sign on to Live is there someone you always look for to play online with?


    I guess it would all depend on what game I want to play at the time I sign on.


    Which do you prefer, single player or multiplayer games?


    Multiplayer without a doubt, but then again, single player is fun as they don't usually talk shit when they've killed you.


    Which do you prefer, ranked or unranked games?


    I prefer ranked, but will run some unranked games to get used to the game so I don't get my ass handed to me by some punk GP.


    Which do you prefer, co-op or multiplayer?


    Multiplayer, but am always down for some co-op action.


    Which, if any, achievements are you most proud of?


    The ones that are worth "0" as they are priceless.


    Do you play inverted or normal?


    Normal


    What is your first video game memory?


    Porky's on the 2600.


    What game systems do you own or have owned in the past?


    Atari 2600, Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Dreamcast, SNES, Nintendo 64, GameCube, PlayStation, PS One, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, PSP, PS Vita, Wii, XBOX 360


    What is your favorite video game of all time, and why?


    Goldeneye 007 on the 64. My older brother and I would always team up against our younger brother, and kick the shit out of him playing paintball for hours on end.


    If you could only own one system (from systems now or from the past) from now on which one would it be? and why?


    I guess it would have to be the 360, just because both of my brothers own them.


    If you could only own one game for the above system from now on which one would it be? and why?


    It would have to be NHL, only because I play against my brothers regularly.


    If you could create your own video game, what would it be?


    It would have to be a fishing game, because no company has created one worth owning.


    Who is your favorite video game character?


    Stinky Balllsonya C/LW of the EAHL


    Who is your favorite video developer?


    DICE


    What do you do for a living/work?

    What game has consumed the most hours of your time in the past month?


    NHL


    What game has consumed the most hours of your time in the past year?

    Do you play Windows casual games at home/work? Which ones?(solitaire/minesweeper/hearts/pinball etc.)


    I believe these games are only supposed to be played at work. Why would you play them at home?

    I have 3 Boxers - Bailey, Bruno, and Dozer


    What’s your favorite animal?


    I would have to say a dog.

    Youngblood

    Environmental Conservation Officer. Work the hours you want, and you're outdoors.


    If you could do anything for a day what would it be and why?


    Jump in NASCAR, and run a race. That would be intense, and I'm sure an adrenaline high like no other.

      Nice read Denea! Nice choice of music to be listening to. Glad I'm not the only one stuck listening to music from 20 years ago. I actually was wearing a White Zombie shirt yesterday and somebody asked me who they were and said "oh are they like Rob Zombie?" lol

      Being a hard rock guy AND a synth guy, I love the remixes of those tunes on SuperSexy Swinging sounds, esp More Human than Human.

      You guys ever check out Robs brother's ("Spider" LOL) band: PowerMan 5000. Their last album was killer.
