My favourite wastes of time

 

Hi there! I’m Pete Jarventaus, Content Manager for Xbox.com EMEA. I was born in Finland but have lived in England most of my life, and I’ve been working at Xbox for almost six years now! When I’m not managing content across our 25 European sites and teaching my 6 year old son the distinction between good and bad superheroes (not always easy!), here’s what’s keeping me distracted from the wait for GTAIV:

Grand Theft Auto IV, Fable 2, EURO 2008, Xbox 360

  1. Trying to finish off the Perfectionist achievement in Bully: The Scholarship Edition
  2. Deciding who to “surrogate” support in EURO 2008
  3. Rewiring my brain to keep up with Ikaruga’s insane black and white boss battles
  4. Contemplating the idea of finally beginning Mass Effect. I know I want to but I’m scared of being drawn in again KOTOR style. It’s just sitting there staring at me
  5. Locking down my latest custom soundtrack to pump into whichever game next catches my eye
  6. Chatting on Xbox LIVE about which EURO 2008 team to adopt with my friends (see point number 2)
  7. Mentally raising the bar on how much money I can accrue in the Fable 2 Xbox LIVE Arcade mini game to take into the new Fable 2 world!
  8. Reading every bit of gossip and rumour about upcoming games on the internet (ok, this one will never leave my top ten)
  9. Perpetually browsing retail sites looking at bigger TV’s and surround sound systems (as above)
  10. Chatting with fellow gamers and making new friends on Xbox LIVE (especially on Gauntlet and TMNT Arcade XBLA, you know who you are!)

No particular order of priority and I hope my wife doesn’t see this list… it’ll shatter my air of mystery. Thanks for your warm virtual welcome and I look forward to seeing you on Xbox LIVE!

Pete
