A little more about my gaming bio
How did you come up with your Gamertag?
Don't ask, coz I won't tell. =P If only I had a dollar for every time that I've been asked what Phorexia means, I'd have a lot of money. xD Seriously though, I haven't told anyone yet. I've heard some interesting & entertaining theories over the years, ranging from beer, algebra, drugs, medical conditions...
How many hours a day do you play Video Games?
Very rarely with uni/exercise/study during the week. On the weekends, I'm always busy during the mornings, so I tend to hop on after lunch more often than not.
What upcoming game or games are you most looking forward to?
Geez, I'll reel off a few titles off of the top of my head; - Command & Conquer 4, Colin McRae: Dirt 2, Bioshock 2, Halo: Reach, Assassins Creed 2, Final Fantasy XIV, Starcraft 2...
Have you met anyone off of Xbox Live? Would You? If yes, then Who, how'd it go?
I have yet to meet with anyone, given the chance I definitely would meet up with tons of people from here and Live. If anyone came to visit, I'd meet up with them at the airport, give them a lift and crash at my place. We'd get some gaming done no doubt, see the sites around Sydney, drink at the least, just have a blast really. Alternatively, candle-lit dinners, walks on the beach under the moonlight and slow, romantic waltzes. =P
What's your dream gaming setup?
When I upgrade my current stereo system to a surround sound one this year, it'll be pretty close to perfection. My brothers Sennheiser headphones suffice in the interim. If I could for the hell of it, I would use the IMAX here in Darling Harbour. It sports the world's largest cinema screen, boasts wicked surround sound, food in the lobby, no shortage of comfy seats... what's it missing? =D
What other consoles do you own or previously owned?
Um, a Nintendo 64, a PlayStation, the various models of Game Boys over the years and I can't forget the PCs. I started off my gaming with Doom at the tender age of 5. I turned out alright though considering. Didn't I? =/
What's your Real Name?
Richard is my real name. I don't know what my fake one is. =/ People tend to call me by my first name or tag, or a variation of either, I don't particularly mind. As long as you pronounce Phorexia correctly. =P
What's your current job, or what would you like to be working as?
I'm a personal trainer and also doing a Bachelor of Science degree full time. Majoring in Biotechnology at the moment. I'm also considering Nutrition & Physiology plus Medical Nanotechnology [nerd!]. In the future I'm looking to work in one of the following fields; Physiotherapy, Sports Science, Medicine, Nutrition, Physical Education... you get the idea.
What's your relationship status? What would you like it to be?
Single. Ideally, I would be with the girl of my dreams. Until I meet that girl in person, I'm pretty content with being single for now, being a fairly independent person and all.
If you could have any super power, what would it be?
Teleportation. I can already read minds somewhat, so scratch that. =P It trumps super speed. You could somewhat mimic flying if you're creative. It'd be awesome to have, to visit friends and places without the inconveniences associated with travel. You know, travel time, costs, paperwork, luggage...
What's your favorite part of GamertagPics, least favorite?
My favourite part? The gamers that you meet. The forums are great as well, when they're active. My least favourite, when people drift away from the site. Not too fond of the current sites design/layout/font either.
How'd you find out about GamertagPics?
During a pre-game lobby in Halo 2 during December 2005. A few friends were mentioning this site, and I figured I might as well check it out. Loved the concept, almost four years later and counting, I'm still here.
