Multiplayer Name: TheRutgersCow, but I haven't played online for years.
Age: 23
Occupation: Law student
Location: Alabama
Favourite Console: Super Nintendo. Currently, X-Box. But the PC is my favorite platform.
Favourite Game: I'm not picking one. Twisted Metal 2 (PS1), Empire Earth, Freedom Force, and Fallout 2. Currently, Morrowind (PC) is making up for a terrible Morrowind (X-Box) experience.
First Gaming Memory: Atari 5200... everbody else I knew had the 2600, so my system was the freak. It came with two controllers, each with a keypad, and neither of the keypads worked at all.
Something We Don't Know: May 25, 1997 was dedicated to me in the state of Alabama, and there was really no good reason for it.

What band, for real? The only so called "punk" band I can think of on TRL is Sum41, Jimmy Eat World, and New Found Glory - and none of them have a member called Max. But then again, I havent watched TRL in forever...and please, please dont say Avril Lavigne.

Something About You We Don't Know: I dont post here, Im only writing to respond to the punk band thingy. I think you guys are pretty silly (read: dumb) for constantly arguing the "XBOX is gonna die/XBOX is gonnabe #1" topic. Im very mean and I write a lot.

Re: Who are you and what do you do?

First Name:
Tony, mostly.

Multiplayer Name:
Take a wild guess - El Kabong for about 5 years now

Age:
33-ish.

Occupation:
Video game playtester at Sierra Online for the last 6 months, at Electrionic Arts for the previous 4 years.

Location:
Seattle

Favorite Console:
Of the current consoles, probably the Gamecube. The under-rated Dreamcast would be a close second, and the Atari 2600 would be the all time champ!

Favorite Game:
Jedi Knight. Few gaming experances beat swinging a lightsaber in the name of justice!

First Gaming Memory:
It was just before Christmas 1978 or so. I had just gotten my Atari, and only had the one packed in game - combat. Me and my bestest friend would sneak down to the living room every night well after everyone else in the house had gone to bed. A little bit of surgery on the wrapping and we'd managed to get the game out and still be able to reseal everything afterwards and make it look untouched.

This went on for a week, the clandestine sessions of Asteroids and Missile Command - and nobody was ever the wiser.

Something About You We Don't Know:
How about my list of games that I've tested -
Need for Speed 2 Special Edition
Need for Speed 3
FIFA 99
Rushdown (yeah, I'm sure you've never heard of it)
Motor City Online
Emperor - Rise of the Middle Kingdom
Empire Earth
And currently working on Malice

. . . .and my feet dont really smell.

Well - I'm not currently in the band and my stint with that particular band didn't last very long - I was their first bass player <small>(before they got famous)</small>... So yeah - none of the current members would have my name. I'd just rather not say. You can know that I was in a band called Seven Storey Mountain if that makes you feel better. I really liked being in that band and I actually got along with the drummer and everything. I was in that band on and off for a few years and we released some stuff that you might be able to find if you look hard enough. I will say that it's not Avril Lavigne. I'd shoot myself if I was in a band named after some 15 year old punk wannabe. Now the Hot Topic features the Avril Lavigne instant punk rock kit complete with tie.
