Featured Gamer: Khytomer
04.03.06
At the ripe age of 22, Khytomer really likes his Xbox 360. He seems to be a pretty easy going guy and he doesn't play games just for the gamerpoints. Hailing all the way from Luxembourg, we now give you Khytomer:
Do you feel the urge to make this interview the best so far?
No. There were a few good ones before and I don't want to polarize the community on the achievement / gamerscore subject anymore. That's why I will keep this interview quiet... and boring ;)
Why don't we start by finding out a little about yourself:
I'm usually I very private person, suffice to say I am a soon-to-be-again student (for Chinese and Japanese) located in the heart of old-Europe, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Aside from gaming all the time, I enjoy the quiet things in life.
What do you feel is the hardest achievement out there that you've gotten?
Single Player Dark Agent for Perfect Dark Zero. I have a few more of the hard ones, but this one took a good amount of time and luck. Not exactly what I like about hard to get achievements though!
That you haven't gotten, but know is possible?
Perfect Dark Coop on Dark Agent. My sister just won't do for Mission 3 :)
Be honest; Do you get achievements for fun or bragging rights?
90% fun, 15% bragging rights. My gamerzone is recreation for a reason.
What achievement are you going after next?
I only have 2 more achievements to unlock in Perfect Dark Zero and the 2 unattainable ones in Outpost Kaloki X. I'll lay off the achievements for a bit though since Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion will be flying in any time soon. I'll take care not to ruin any game experiences because of a desperate need to achieve.
What is your favorite game on the 360?
I like all of those I own, which is (GUN, Kameo: Elements of Power, Condemned: Criminal Origins, Call of Duty 2), but...
Least favorite?
King Kong. It's a tight game, but to short for it's price.
Favorite multiplayer game?
I don't play online (much). I have always been an RPG or Adventure-player more than anything else, so ego-shooting offline or online never bothered me. It's a social activity and I never understood gaming as such. Not that I wouldn't enjoy a good session of Mario Kart from time to time, with my friends hanging around my place.
Are you a hardcore Xbox guy or do you dabble in the dark arts (re: other consoles)?
I'm still kinda young, so I only got infected in the PSOne-era. I was only occasionally playing PC before this. I stuck with Sony till late PS2-era and invested in a lovely Gamecube. Then I bought an Xbox because there was nothing more to play. And let me tell you, I always become desperate when there's no good games to play so I decided to hop on the 360 train and buy an HDTV along. I have no regrets so far.
What 360 title are you looking forward to next?
That would be Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend. Huge Adventure-fan here! I have an eye on the Godfather, Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires and Dead Rising, too.
Got a personal or favorite website you want to share?
Apart from your own: Bash.org. It helped me live through my latest jobs :) And, of course: Rathergood.com. *hippo girl* How can you not like singing cats, come on?
Thanks for the interview, Khytomer!
