Popular Post AlteredFormula Posted March 22, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2013 Time flies doesn't it?Its the latest interview. Stevieboy spent some time looking over your questions, and his interview is now below. there are some particular bits in there that is going to make some of us older gamers nostalgic. He also manages to surpass Rory's stereotypical view of the Scottish!Huge thanks to Stevie for his time and patience (AF's been a busy boy). Finally, all responses are unedited unless I've noticed a word has been missed and thrown it in. I don't want peoples responses to come across as though I've written them. Enjoy!! DanielVT wants to know some basics,What do you do for a living?At the moment I'm unemployed unfortunately, but fingers crossed that won't be the case for much longer.What are your hobbies outside of gaming?I enjoy listening to strange & unusual music as well as the occasional more mainstream stuff, basically a varied mixture. I also enjoy watching movies too, comedies and action being my favourites. I play (badly) 5 a-side football to keep fit and also enjoy socialising with my friends.Is there a Mrs Stevieboy or any Mini Stevieboys?I've never been married, but I was engaged for a few years once. We also had a daughter together. Her name is India and she is 12 years old now.Moving on to Gaming itself, We've got quite a few questions to get through:BeyondTheGrave (Who's Username sound like some 60's B-movie) wants to know:What is your first gaming memory?Playing Pong on a gaming machine I received for Xmas when I was 5.What is your Favourite Childhood game?I spent a lot of my childhood playing a large selection of games to pick just one favourite, but Back To Skool on the Spectrum was always good for a laugh.Broy knows RDR is your Favourite game from this generation, what would you like to see in a sequel?Pretty much more of the same, but I really enjoyed the treasure hunting part of it. Trying to figure out where it was buried using only a vaguely dawn picture was one of my favourite parts but was ultimately over too quickly. I was glad they added it to the Undead DLC too. So I would want much more of that in the sequel.Dark Knight Rises aka Oscar would like you to list every console / handheld you've owned and your favourite game for each.These are not in any particular order, but here goes:ZX Spectrum +2 - Dizzy (all games in the series)N64 - Diddy Kong RacingGamecube - Sonic Adventure 2Dreamcast - Soul CaliburWii - Wii BowlingPS1 - Metal Gear SolidPS2 - Beyond Good & EvilPS3 - Red Dead RedemptionGameboy Color - Denki BlocksN-Gage (it counts, right?) - Tomb RaiderDS - Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown WarsRory name drops you and tells us all how he's been on your friend list a long time (Yes Rory, we're all jealous of you!), but he would like to know, why do you install so many games to your PS3 and then leave them? is it accidental, or do you just not enjoy them?It's not accidental and I do it for a number of reasons:1 - To check the disc works (for downloads, to see if it's installed correctly).2 - To install the game data and any patches so when I'm ready to play it I don't have to wait.3 - To activate the PS+ function so any future patches are automatically downloaded and installed.4 - To install the trophy data on my profile so anyone comparing trophies with me on the PS3 or checking my profile on this website (or another inferior one ) can see exactly which games I own.To follow that up rather neatly Rowdi wants to know, how is it that you're able to find redeeming qualities in almost very game you play? What criteria do you have for choosing what games you play?I try to be a positive person and see gaming as an enjoyable experience, so if I focus on what I liked in a game then it means I've at least enjoyed something from it. Don't get me wrong though, there have been some games I've played that weren't very good, but I like to think most games have something decent to offer. It helps that I like a varied assortment of genres so I can always take something from most games I play anyway. Also, being Scottish means if I've paid money for that game then I'm gonna damn well find something to like about it. As for choosing the games I play, I seem to be really in tune to exactly what I like and dislike so just a brief description of a game is enough to let me know if I'll enjoy it or not. Even just a title and cover picture can be enough. I don't always get it right though, but I have a pretty high success rate to at least be a little bit smug about it. Parker asks, What made you choose PlayStation over the other consoles?I bought a PS1 because all my friends owned one so it made sense to do the same as I knew what a good system it was. I bought a PS2 because I was so impressed with the PS1 and it's games that it just made sense to me to stay with the brand. I preferred to stick with Sony and buy a PS3 rather than jump ship and buy a 360 because the PS3 exclusives were exactly the kind of games I would enjoy more. For example: Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank, LittleBigPlanet, God Of War, inFamous etc. Although not really a factor but worth mentioning is the PS controller just felt better to use. The Xbox controller was always too chunky and annoying to use.Bullstomp brings us the inevitable PS4 question!! You're sitting in a boardroom with Kaz Hirai and he wants you to give him your opinion of best old series to re-boot for launch day on the PS4, what do you tell him?Going back a few years now, but I would love to see the Dizzy games re-booted and brought into the 21st century.Finally we're going to do a little quickfire round thats had input from Parker, Piggie, Rory, Deth, PSX, Daniel & BeyondthegraveCats or dogs?CatsFavourite Sports Team?Football - Dundee United, Arbroath, Tottenham Hotspur & Scotland (obviously )American Football - San Francisco 49ersDream Job?Professional Poker PlayerIf you could have any super power, what would it be?ImmortalityFavourite food?PizzaFavourite movie?Blade RunnerBoxers or Briefs?BoxersPrized Possession?I dunno, I pretty much value everything I ownFavourite gaming boss battle?Psycho Mantis from MGS1MGS3 also had some good boss fightsFinally, One last one from Rory... (You're such a bastard Rory!)What was your last appearance in court for?!Jury Duty (Sorry Rory, I'm a good boy honest ) So there you have it. You've all got enough info now to go and pester Stevie to find out more about him. I want to know more about the "Strange and unusual music." and get nostalgic about some of the old school games... (Dizzy Egg in particular!!). Hope you've enjoyed it and keep your eyes peeled for another interview in a couple of months... Oh... One more thing before I go... There was one question that I thought was unfair to put to Stevie or any other member for that matter... but I thought I would answer it just so Kevin doesn't feel ignored... KevinNummer1: Who is your favourite Moderator and Why? Obviously Kev, we all know why you are asking this question... you are hoping Stevie says that AF is his favourite, because of your deep, burning, (not so well) hidden love for Eburk. You feel that he should only be your favourite mod, and nobody else dare get close to him. or you will scratch their eyes out. So don't worry, I'm Everyone's favourite, Eburks all yours, and that lock of his hair I sold you is totally genuine. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDKSimba Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 nothing like coming home to a bowl of soup and a good read on a cold snowy spring morning. always a good deal to get to know a little more about our well established members. great interview. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasty_Rory Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 (You're such a bastard Rory!)What, exactly, are you trying to say AF? This was a great read and even more insight into one of the all round good guys of gaming. You would be hard put to find better than Stevie to game with online. Thanks for putting it together AF and thank you Stevie for your honest answers. I was beginning to think the 1975 was the Aberdeen dialling code but it turns out to be the year you were born - who would have guessed that! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eburkulosis Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Great Interview AF and Stevie. Now that I got a taste, all I want is more! I enjoy seeing that the Nintendo-Gen gamers like myself (in our 30's or later) are still actively involved in this wonderful hobby and a part of this community. Oh and for that lock of hair you sold Kev...I was wondering why my ass itched for a few days, it all makes sense now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broy300 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 This was a great read and even more insight into one of the all round good guys of gaming. You would be hard put to find better than Stevie to game with online. Thanks for putting it together AF and thank you Stevie for your honest answers. I could not agree more with Rory. I'm not a huge online player or booster but I have played quite a few games with Steve and always have a great time with him. One of the few people I have met online that I consider a good friend in RL as well. What's cool is that he never sells games and if you need any help with anything he is always willing too, as long as it's fun he's game. Good job AF and please keep the interviews coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nasty_Rory Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Sorry for the delay, I got my finger stuck, it took ages to get it pulled out.AF Just thought I would nudge this a little as the last interview was four months ago. I was beginning to wonder if you had got your finger stuck again...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevieboy Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Expect to see something in the next month though. Sweet! I can't wait to see who the next victim... er sorry, interviewee is gonna be. It was a blast doing this and expect the next person chosen will have just as much fun, if not more, than I did. I'd also like to take this time to thank everyone who took the time to read my interview and also to those who left such positive comments and feedback. I'd also like to thank everyone who submitted questions and especially AF who put it all together. Thank you all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chosen Undead Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 What exactly is the purpose of these interviews? Are they for potential additions to the Staff? Or are they just for fun? This is kinda interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Mayus Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 What exactly is the purpose of these interviews? Are they for potential additions to the Staff? Or are they just for fun? This is kinda interesting... Just a way to learn about some of the members around the site. I wish they were done more often as they are a good way to showcase off some of the more regular members but the staff of the site are pretty busy so it is not always easy.
