TriXie Interviews acraftycrusader
She's studying for a career in the television industry and still has that new Xbox LIVE® user smell. Meet acraftycrusader and welcome her to the wide world of Xbox LIVE.
trixie360: What's the story behind your Gamertag?
acraftycrusader: Hmm, well, I play a game on the computer called Everquest. I've been playing it for 10 years and I can't imagine life without it. In the early days when it was first released I used to think Everquest meant never sleep again. Nowadays, it's commonly referred to as Evercrack.
acraftycrusader with friends.
trixie360: Scandalous. Where do you live?
acraftycrusader: I live in beautiful, sunny, palmetto bug-infested Florida. Weird bugs in the tropics, originally from New York.
trixie360: What do you do for work/school?
acraftycrusader: I work for 1-800-Flowers communicating with florists all over the world and customers. If you have to work, this job is great! School is at Daytona State College and I am studying to be a TV producer, director, camera operator, video editor, and everything else in between. I also volunteer at our local PBS Station – WDSC, where we produce several live shows and live to tape shows. Best job ever, if only it came with money.
trixie360: Do you get free tote bags? What's the worst or weirdest job you've ever had?
acraftycrusader: The weirdest job I have ever had was of the adult nature and all I needed was my phone and my couch. 'Nuff said.
trixie360: Scandalouser! How long have you been on Xbox LIVE?
acraftycrusader: A few months and I love it! Only question is what the heck took me so long????
trixie360: Do you have an archenemy on Xbox LIVE, and if so, who?
acraftycrusader: Oh no, definitely not any enemies, intense competitors, of course, there's silentreform. Awesome dude though, love 'im.
trixie360: What's your Xbox setup like? Big screen TV? Dolby sound?acraftycrusader: Got the surround sound, definitely need the big screen. We keep 2 TVs in our living room. When my friends colucci1989 and silentreform come over for game night, he will usually bring his Xbox for our co-op and multiplayer enjoyment.
trixie360: That's the way to do it. What's the best feature of Xbox LIVE?acraftycrusader: Netflix … it's unbelievably amazing! Movies and TV shows right at your fingertips.
trixie360: What is your favorite multiplayer Xbox game?
acraftycrusader: 1 vs 100. Definitely. My friends and family have a blast playing this game. I am aspiring to get the amping achievement when it actually goes live … I CAN'T WAIT!
She loves playing 1 vs 100.
trixie360: What is your favorite single player Xbox game?
acraftycrusader: Fable®, Fable II. I guess technically they are multiplayer but I play them mostly as single player and I love, love, love it. Can't wait for Fable III to come out!!!
trixie360: Definitely good times to be had with Fable II. What do you think is the best game of all time?
acraftycrusader: Wow, really, favorite of all time huh … let me think … EVERQUEST!!! Has to be, only game I have played so far for 10 years and still haven't finished.
trixie360: Your kind frightens and confuses me. What do you think is the best film of all time?
acraftycrusader: Hmmm, that's a hard one! If I have to pick one I'd have to say Caddyshack!
trixie360: Nanananana … what do you think is the best album of all time?
acraftycrusader: Rush, definitely, I guess the Moving Pictures album is my personal fav.
trixie360: Rock Band or Guitar Hero?
acraftycrusader: Definitely Rock Band, hands down! My hubby got to playing on Hard and went out and got himself a drumset!
trixie360: And it has much more Rush. What's the funniest thing you've ever heard on Xbox LIVE?
acraftycrusader: Playing Halo® 3, which I am awful at by the way. I was just standing by a rock, not sure where I was really, being hunted alive and all of a sudden my character looks up and sees colucci1989 and silentreform running towards each other, they jumped up in the air and like belly slammed each other and slid down and fell. It was truly hilarious …
trixie360: What is your greatest Xbox LIVE moment?
acraftycrusader: Not having the least kills in Left 4 Dead™.
Being successful in Left 4 Dead is never easy.
trixie360: What's your favorite TV show?
acraftycrusader: There's so many. If I have to pick just one I'd say Heroes.
trixie360: Who is your inner rock star?
acraftycrusader: Hmmm, inner rock star … Tommy Lee from Mötley Crüe.
trixie360: If they made a movie about your life, who should play you?
acraftycrusader: Elizabeth Perkins, she is amazing! The movie about my life would have to be a comedy, titled something like "Organized Chaos". Perfect!
trixie360: What's your karaoke song?
acraftycrusader: American Pie! Classic, and surprisingly easy to sing, LOL.
trixie360: Mmm … pie. Favorite cartoon character?
acraftycrusader: Cartman from South Park, love that little dude. "Bad Kitty"
trixie360: What superpower would you like to have?
acraftycrusader: Believe it or not, I have thought about this many times. It would have to be time control. The ability to freeze time, and travel in the past and the future … extremely powerful!
trixie360: If you could trade places with anyone for one day, who would it be?
acraftycrusader: It would be Jen on 1 vs 100 without a doubt. It would be so amazing to be a part of that. I would love to host a game show with my voice and avatar! Since I am used to being in the studio anyway, this would be way different than a PBS show and sounds like so much fun! Hopefully the day I stepped in for her would be pay day.
trixie360: What celebrity would be the worst roommate?
acraftycrusader: Paris Hilton for so many reasons.
trixie360: We get that a lot. How many people are on your Friends List?

trixie360: Who's your favorite superhero?
acraftycrusader: Superman. He is mild-mannered, good-natured, incredibly strong, and loves to help people.
Being Alex Mercer would be a good thing.
trixie360: Hot celeb you'd like to be stranded on a desert island with?acraftycrusader: Ben Stiller, we may be hungry, thirsty, and dying, but we sure would laugh a lot.
trixie360: If you could be any video game character, who would it be?acraftycrusader: Definitely Alex Mercer, in PROTOTYPE™. He has amnesia and is a shape shifter who can copy the powers of anyone he comes across. This definitely makes up for what he can't remember.
trixie360: What's the worst food you've ever eaten?
acraftycrusader: Calamari, it was so chewy. The consistency was unbelievably disgusting.
trixie360: It does have an odd rubbery quality. What's the first video game you ever played?
acraftycrusader: Whoa … long time ago, from what I remember it was Pong on Atari.
trixie360: What's the last book you read?
acraftycrusader: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling. Love those books. What a great imaginary place to be, at Hogwarts.
trixie360: If you could go on tour with any band, which would it be?acraftycrusader: Blake Lewis, from American Idol Season 6. Love that crazy, beat boxing dude!
trixie360: What do you predict will be the "next big thing" in gaming?acraftycrusader: Not sure, probably Project Natal 10 years from now.
trixie360: What do you think is the best thing about Xbox 360?
acraftycrusader: They see that gamers are growing and they cater to that, better soundtracks, graphics, and online multiplayer gaming, it's amazing … Project Natal! That will be so much fun, can't wait. Or, it could even be the demos, add-ons, and the Marketplace!
trixie360: Aw, she's still got that new user glow to her. What is the Xbox 360 Achievement that was hardest to get?
acraftycrusader: So far I am working on getting all the achievements in Fable II. The Doll Collector is giving me issues big time! By far, this will be the hardest one.
trixie360: What would you like to be doing in ten years?
acraftycrusader: Hopefully, I'll be a producer working on a very funny sitcom. Down time … enjoying my Xbox and all the new RPGs that will have come out.
