This week I sat down BeardedChri5, a guy who’s been around awhile, but just recently got back into the swing of gaming. If you don’t know his story, now is your chance. Read on, readers. Read on.
Pony:: Duuuuuude
BeardedChris:: Yo
Pony:: We’re both at the computer at the same time
Pony:: *collapses*
BeardedChris:: I know, and I’m just killing time til Lansdown sends me an invite, if it makes you feel any better
Pony:: NICE. He’s waitin on me too
BeardedChris:: Nice
Pony:: Wanna do this interview thing?
BeardedChris:: Sure
Pony:: SAWEET.
Pony:: Alrighty, here we go. Question one! What’s the story behind your gamertag?
BeardedChris:: It was an Xbox live thing, I don’t remember what I put in, but it said “that name is taken, we suggest ‘BeardedChris’”
BeardedChris:: I’ve had to keep changing it since my account will go dormant, hence the original BeardedChris, then BeardedxChris, and now BeardedChri5. But it’s still the same partially facial haired individual behind the whole thing
Pony:: Hahaha, very nice. Those name generators never cease to amaze me.
BeardedChris:: Sometimes I wish I had a better story behind it, but blame Microsoft seems to be working just fine
Pony:: Scapegoat for the win. Question two… Who/what introduced you to Tied The Leader?
BeardedChris:: xNo Warningx introduced me to TTL. I was looking for someone else to game with, it seemed like only a few of my friends were into Halo 2, and rarely could we get everyone online at the same time. Warning was telling me about this “Clan thing” he was involved with, so I checked it out, and it seemed to be a very simple decision “I like Halo, fun people, The Gunslinger series, I wonder if they’ll let me in?” My brand of dork/ gamer/ humor fit right in
Pony:: Yeah, i’m pretty sure that’s lock and key right there, even if we were just “some clan thing”
BeardedChris:: It seemed like such an odd thing at the time, that’s why I say “clan thing.” Almost too dorky, but now I can’t imagine gaming without it, I’m bummed to have to go online alone, because I never seem to find the quality of gamer & personality that TTL gives
Pony:: Dude trust me, I’ve had to explain that story to friends more than once, and I always get the same reaction of, “a… clan?”
