Admin Interviews - MyBluRay + MyTelly
Continuing the MyMedia Admin interviews, we move away from the gaming arena. This is the final instalment in the admin interviews this year, and once again a few people have already completed them for one of the other sites in the network. Check them out here.
So without further ado, I present to you the hardest hitting interviews you'll see on the Internet all year.
Unhostile
Real name: Jordan
Location: NSW
Role at MyMedia: Admin at MyTelly
Outside of MyMedia what do you spend your time doing?
Hmm, most of the time I'm either outside playing soccer & football or I would be hanging out with friends.
What are you currently playing?
I am currently playing Left 4 Dead on the PC. If not that, I would be playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on the Playstation 3.
What is your most played game of all time?
My most played game.... Would have to be, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, it had to much entertainment and laughter for me to let it go.
What is your least favourite game of all time and why?
Noby Noby Boy from the Playstation Store. Such a boring and dull title.
What upcoming game are you most anticipating?
There are quite a few but the ones I am mostly anticipating is M.A.G. (Massive Action Game) and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
Where do you think gaming will be in 15 years?
I enjoy what gaming has to offer at the moment. But there's a chance digital retail will come into hand and will be bigger and better. For example, Steam is a digital retailer and its sales are astounding so I can't imagine what it would be like in 2024.
How do you get off a nonstop flight?
I couldn't stand being on a plane for a long period of time so, I would have to resort in causing an emergency landing which by hope doesn't cause the plane to crash....
Mintyjam
Real name: Jimmy Tan (It's no big secret, it's in my username all along.)
Location: Swine Flu capital, Melbourne
Role at MyMedia: I write stuffs that nobody reads, at a forum that almost nobody goes to, unless you watch lots of telly. Basically trying hard not to be a dirty old man.
Outside of MyMedia what do you spend your time doing?
Sell drugs (including Tamiflu), write music and count money. It gets lonely living alone.
What are you currently playing?
Wii: Animal Crossing; Final Fantasy Chrystal Chronicles (something something).
PC: Some lousy chess games and Go (I like brainy stuffs). Go is a Japanese game that has something to do with black and white balls, in case you have no idea what I am talking about.
If you were trapped on a deserted island with anyone, who would it be and why?
Hopefully someone from the future and hopefully this someone knows how to create wormholes, or knows how to manipulate the Higgs Boson. I don't want to think about how in the world I ended up on the deserted island in the first place. did I mention this someone has to be a genetically verified FEMALE?
What is your most played game of all time?
Final Fantasy VI, VII, VIII, IX. I lost count after IX; and the realistic human characters don't really appeal that much to me.
What is your least favourite game of all time and why?
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (I can't get past Valoo, and dem makes me angry)
What upcoming game are you most anticipating?
The dictionary game. Also known as Scribblenauts, so that I can chain a piece of meat to a pole and holding it while riding on a raptor with a parachute. Other than that, most upcoming games are still the same old stuffs.
Where do you think gaming will be in 15 years?
Gaming is already old. Given the history of gaming starts with Pong in 1972, and the era of SERIOUS gaming starts in 1984 (The old old old NES), Why are we still playing with those bulky remotes after 25 years? Well, at least there is this fancy thing called the REMOTE (wireless), but remotes have been around since 1956 for the telly. It has taken a LONG TIME for someone to figure out the use of wireless remotes for GAME CONSOLES. This is unacceptable.
Based on something called extrapolation, we will still be playing with the Wii remote clone after 15 years, with consoles half its present size but twice the weight. Miniaturisation is still much too slow, so people makes things heavier. Not unless some genius engineer somewhere discovered a way to make electronic circuits without using transistors, we will still be stuck with what we currently have, and it has nothing to do with the graphics. Nanotechnology is still unreliable.
I tend to think of gameplay in the future using a system called bioresonance input. Through kinesthesia, electrodes attached to the skin relay our movements and identify the position of the ingame characters, not dissimilar to motion capture presently in use by the film industries.
In 15 years, Google will still be very much alive. Microsoft goes back to their roots in Office software, this time FOR FREE, and sell their game console division to wannabes (maybe SEGA?). XBox becomes Y-dimension and playstation becomes something obscene due to 3D pwn. Nintendo is still good ol' Nintendo.
P.S. Apple died without Steve Jobs.
Who would you turn gay for?
Guyver, cos he is around my age. For the rest of you, that will definitely makes me a dirty old man. Unless, of course......then there is also K-M4N, K-WoM4N and his 101 variations of K-ness.
Milky-Shee
Real name: Ben Chamberlain
Location: WA
Role at MyMedia: Admin over at MyBluRay. Provider of comedy and insults on My360.
Outside of MyMedia what do you spend your time doing?
Work in advertising for the WA government, bitch of a job but someone has to do it. Apart from that I just spend my evenings either watching movies, playing games, listening to music or spending time with my better half.
What are you currently playing?
I have recently got back into Oblivion. Also been playing inFamous and Prototype (inFamous being the far superior game!). Apart from those it has been fairly quiet on the gaming front of late.
If you were trapped on a deserted island with anyone, who would it be and why?
John Candy, if he was still alive. He could provide me with comedy to begin with, but once I got bored with him I could kill him, eat his meat to survive and use his mountain of skin to keep me warm. Gross ey.
What is your most played game of all time?
Crash Team Racing. Loved that game when I was kid. Reckon I put about 3 hours a day into the game for 2 years. Finished it 100% about 40 times.
What is your least favourite game of all time and why?
Tough. I would probably go with the second Getaway game on PS2, game which just so bad to play, no enjoyment in it at all.
What upcoming game are you most anticipating?
BioShock 2. The first is my all-time favourite game, so obviously 2 is going to be my most anticipated.
Where do you think gaming will be in 15 years?
I personally don’t it will change as much as the other guys are saying. I reckon we will still have consoles and discs. I mean in the last 15 years gaming hasn’t changed massively, you know we still have consoles and discs and the only thing to have changed is the growth in graphics and online gaming. I reckon DLC’s are the way of the future, if they keep going down this path then they can’t go wrong.
Can a guy named Nick have a 'nick 'name?
Sure can. Use to be friends with a Nick, we called him Albino cause he is was so white.
Krycek
Real name: Sam Francis
Location: ACT
Role at MyMedia: As an admin at myBluray I help to keep the black knight at bay. Thankfully he doesn't show his face too often.
Outside of MyMedia what do you spend your time doing?
I'm in my second year of Engineering and Science at ANU. With weekly reading, labs, lectures, tutes and homework asssignments my time is pretty much dominated by Uni. I'm fine with it though, I only have 3 and a 1/2 more years and then I will be able to build an Ironman suit. On the odd chance that I do find a spare moment (and I'm not playing games) I'll either go to the movies, read or search the internet for the 'Truth'.
What are you currently playing?
DS - Chrono Trigger, Rhythm Heaven
Wii - Sports Resort, Majora's Mask
Xbox 360 - Soul Calibur 4, Prince of Persia
If you were trapped on a deserted island with anyone, who would it be and why?
Macgyver - If anyone could get me off that island it would be him. I'm certain that with the right amount of gum, a stone, a pile of sand and a palm frond, Macgyver would be able to make a Jetski or something.
In the event that Macgyver is unavailable my back up would be Corey Feldman. His experience as a Goonie probably gave him a similar, though admittedly less expansive, skill set to Macgyver plus he could act out scenes from his movies when we got bored.
What is your most played game of all time?
I'm guessing it would be a tie between Sonic on the megadrive and Majora's Mask on the 64.
What is your least favourite game of all time and why?
Although there are a lot of terrible games out there (Superman 64 anyone?) I would have to say Alex Kidd. Back in my megadrive days I played this game so much but could never finish it. One day I got up to the final boss and the game glitched. There I was, caught in a wall, multiple lives in reserve and with the boss mocking me all I could do was reset. Never went near that game again.
What upcoming game are you most anticipating?
Shadow Complex on xbox live arcade. Haven't played a good platformer in a long time.
Where do you think gaming will be in 15 years?
Thats assuming the world doesn't end in 2012.
Why do the signs that say "Slow Children" have a picture of a running child?
Let me answer that question with another question - How many slow kids do you see running?
IAMColonel
Real name: Mr IAC
Location: Melbourne
Role at MyMedia: Admin on MyPSP for 2 and a half years now. I need to find me a walking stick. And more recently MyBluray, where I post a few features and news articles, come say hi in our movie chats.
Outside of MyMedia what do you spend your time doing?
Working, computering, being lazy, going out with mates. Usual teenager stuff.
What are you currently playing?
PS3 - UFC 2009
PSP - Harry Potter (I don't know why I have this, it's soooo bad)
If you were trapped on a deserted island with anyone, who would it be and why?
The genie from Aladdin. He has a sick hairdo, and I could wish for cool stuff.
What is your most played game of all time?
The FIFA series combined, by far. One of them would be the most played individual game.
What is your least favourite game of all time and why?
There's been a couple of PSP games which have just reaked of turd; Lego Batman, Harry Potter. As far as me being dissapointed, it'd be GTA, just because of how much it had been talked up to me, then it was just a massive letdown.
What upcoming game are you most anticipating?
Modern Warfare 2. Probably the only game I'll certainly buy this year.
Where do you think gaming will be in 15 years?
Graphic improvements have really halted in the past 3 or 4 years, we're seeing nothing better. I suppose in 15 years they will have found new methods and created much better programs, perhaps it'll be easier for them to create games and we'll get more of the COD-style "game machines" being repeated in various releases. I don't think I'll be gaming in 15 years though...
Have you ever seen a toad on a toadstool?
No. I do think ICC has licked one too many toads in his time though! :p
mordillo92
Real name: Dean Tsambos
Location: Umina, New South Wales, Australia
Role at MyMedia: MyBluRay News guy...
Outside of MyMedia what do you spend your time doing?
I go to the movies on a weekly basis, sometimes even twice or three times a week. Crazy. I also love to write, whether it be movie reviews or simple stories (I'm looking to become an author in the future)... Hanging out with friends, but unfortunately school has gotten the better of me recently...
What are you currently playing?
Unreal Tournment 2004 on my PC (haha, I'm so awesome)
If you were trapped on a deserted island with anyone, who would it be and why?
Joaquin Phoenix. Would be so odd and awkward Not to mention super amusing...
What is your most played game of all time?
Burnout Paradise. Can't get enough of it. Kudos to Criterion...
What is your least favourite game of all time and why?
GoldenEye on N64......... Just kidding. I can't really think of one at the moment, but one game that does come to mind that irritated me sooo much is Resistance 2. It is such a disappointment.
What upcoming game are you most anticipating?
I'm gonna go ahead and list a couple... Modern Warfare 2 and Uncharted 2...
Where do you think gaming will be in 15 years?
First of all, I don't think it will be futuristic where we literally put ourselves in the game. I do think we'll still have consoles, only they have been greatly enhanced in one way or another over the years. Graphics will obviously be improved. I also think SEGA will once again join the home console race.
Why do they call it "chili" if it's hot?
It's kind of like "awesome" and "awful." Awesome is positive, yet there is only some "awe"? While "awful" is negative but it is full of "awe"? LOL. Understand? Probably not...
Anyways. I have no idea why it's called chili if it's hot. It's contradictory!
