This is the third installment in our MOTM series, where we find more about the gamers on EX3A. This month we have forum Moderator Dooney. Never shy to play ANY game for achievements, including writing guides for My Horse and Me 2 and Hannah Montana. Lately he has been seeking a game where you can watch paint dry for achievements, just so he can write a guide!

 

 

CovertPimpSloth : Tell us a little bit about yourself?

 

 

Im Mike, and I am 38 yrs old, work for a service centre in the UK as a technical service manager. I have spent most of my adult life working in the electronics industry so I guess gaming was the obvious choice.

 

 

And your Gamertag?

 

 

Having had my xbox since 2005, my gamertag was setup just to play offline since I never had Xbox Live at first.

 

 

How did you get into gaming and how long have you been playing?

 

 

I have been gaming for as long as I can remember. Started with the Atari 2600, Dragon 32, Commodore 64, Amiga A600, Desktop PC, Xbox 1, Xbox 360 and so on ... addicted (yes) lol

 

 

When did you get into achievements and how?

 

 

At first I didn't understand the point of the achievement system, so I didn't really get it until November 2006. Once I understood how it all worked, I was hooked.

 

 

What are your long-term gaming and achievement goals?

 

 

Right now I don't really have any, I'm just playing what ever is out and popping as many of my missing achievements as I can.

 

 

What are your top 5 worst games you have played for points?

 

 

Don't really have any, its a fair bet that if I have no points on a game its because I didn't like it.

 

 

What are the hardest achievements you have obtained?

 

 

I would say that most of the achievements are not so hard, once you know how to obtain them but I would say COD 2 was my best ever 1000gs.

 

 

What are your favorite games to play when not playing for achievements?

 

 

Right now I' d say MW2, but since I play mainly for points there is little I actually play outside of that, besides not enough hours in the day for both.

 

 

What are you doing when you aren't playing Xbox 360? What are your hobbies?

 

 

Planning on what games to get next. Time is a major problem for hobbies, since gaming takes far too much real life time.

 

 

What games are you looking forward to this year?

 

 

Lego Harry Potter, and Splinter Cell Conviction

 

 

Do you and Supermum ever fight over the xbox?

 

 

No, because we have a fair few xbox's in the house so never an issue, (like I said addicted) lol

 

 

What brought you to EX3A?

 

 

Looking around for easy achievements was what brought me to EX3A, and the beloved Google search.
