Gamer Spotlight:

Nytedagger

September10, 2003

Nytedagger is a junior high school student in Pennsylvania who loves Xbox Live. In the future he’d like to be a lawyer… when he’s not on tour with Linkin Park.

TriXie: Hey, Nytedagger—pretty cool ‘tag. What’s the story?

Nytedagger: I chose Nytedaggeras my Gamertag because it was the name I used for an online PC game.

TriXie: How long have you been rockin’ on Xbox Live?

Nytedagger: Since December.

TriXie: Give us the lowdown on your friends and enemies.

Nytedagger: I have about 10 or 15 people on my Friends List. If I have to pick an archenemy…

TriXie: Oh, believe me, you have to.

Nytedagger: It would be Boriquaman. The funniest thing I ever heard on Xbox Live was me getting killed by Boriquaman and him saying "Not like 'Tribes' is it?" My friend meant this game for PS2 calledTribes Aerial Assault.

TriXie: Yeah, yeah. PS-whatever. What’s your favorite feature of Xbox Live?

Nytedagger: The best feature of XboxLive, I think, is the headset. Without a headset, you couldn’t taunt people or tell your teammates what to do.

TriXie: What sort of features would you like to see in the future?

Nytedagger: I would like to see a message feature on Xbox Live. That way you could send your friend or an Xbox Live member a message while they are offline.

TriXie: What do you look for in an XboxLive teammate?

Nytedagger: Someone who listens, tells you who is coming to your base, and someone who talks on their mic a lot about what is going on in the game.

TriXie: What’s your fave offline game?

Nytedagger: Blinx: The Time Sweeper.

TriXie: Film?

Nytedagger: The best film of all time, I think, is Armageddon.

TriXie: I like any movie where Bruce Willis bites it. Name your superpower.

Nytedagger: Invisibility.

TriXie: …which would eliminate the need for a hall pass. What color M&M would you be?

Nytedagger: Blue.

TriXie: Guy’s gotta have standards, I guess. If you could tour with any band, what would it be?

Nytedagger: Linkin Park.

TriXie: What do you want to be doing in ten years?

Nytedagger: I would probably like to be a lawyer.

TriXie: Yeah, I think there’s a shortage of lawyers in the world. Thanks Nyte, see you online!
