The Important Stuff:Gamertag: Sin Monkey The Nomination Mail:TriXie: | Gamer Spotlight:TriXie Interviews Sin Monkey
This Fayetteville Georgia hero gamer is a deputy sheriff and served in Iraq with the National Guard … and he's gamed with Jenny McCarthy. Stand up and salute Sin Monkey. TriXie: What's the story behind your gamertag? Sin Monkey: When I was in college, a few friends and I designed t-shirts with 'fake' DJ names and tour dates to 'fake' towns (e.g. Ex-Lax, PA or Pencilton, WA). My DJ name was DJ Sin Monkey. We were young and bored … TriXie: What do you do when you're not gaming or pretending to be a DJ? Sin Monkey: I'm a Deputy Sheriff. I'm also in the Georgia National Guard. We're with the 48th Brigade—fresh from lovely Iraq. TriXie: What's the worst or weirdest job you've ever had … uh, besides fighting a war? Sin Monkey: I had three bad ones all at once. I was a warehouse jockey for a Japanese bolt company, I sold cars, and I scraped floors for a cleaning company. Talk about lame. TriXie: How long have you been on Xbox Live®? Sin Monkey: Since they activated the service. I really wanted to use the Sin Monkey gamertag and I knew it was a matter of time before others jumped on the Monkey band wagon. TriXie: The band wagon is full of jumping monkeys! Do you have an arch enemy on Xbox Live, and if so, who? Sin Monkey: Yes. His name is PhatSushi. He's more an evil accomplice than an arch nemesis. He keeps me competing for higher scores and more Xbox 360™ achievements. He's great. TriXie: What's your Xbox® set-up like? Sin Monkey: HD 36" flat tube Sony Wega Trinitron, wireless headset, and killer Dolby sound. TriXie: Nice. What's the best feature of Xbox Live? Sin Monkey: The Friends list. It's cool to see what my boys are doing when I first log on. TriXie: Your boys? Sounds like you need some chiX on that list! What do you think is the best game of all time? Sin Monkey: That's tough.Probably Super Mario World for the SNES or Ico for the PS2. Ico was the first game to get an emotional response from me. Super Mario World was just HARD and amazing. TriXie: What do you think is the best film of all time? Sin Monkey: Seven Samurai or Ran by Akira Kurosawa. He's probably the greatest director ever and his films are phenomenal. TriXie: What's the funniest thing you've ever heard on Xbox Live? Sin Monkey: "Get out of my Warthog you damn monkey!" TriXie: What is your greatest Xbox Live moment? Sin Monkey: I played Project Gotham Racing® 3 with Jenny McCarthy! TriXie: Lucky! What's your favorite TV show that's no longer running? Sin Monkey: Original Star Trek! But … for … how long Bones? Kirk was the man! TriXie: If they made a movie about your life, who should play you? Sin Monkey: Christopher Walken. TriXie: Eek. What's your karaoke song? Sin Monkey: Lovin' You by Adam Sandler. TriXie: I believe the actual title is At a Medium Pace and that sir, is a filthy karaoke song (and not as good as Steve Polychronopolous). What super power would you like to have? Sin Monkey: Invulnurability. Did I spell that right? TriXie: Nope. But please, continue about invulnerability … Sin Monkey: I can die of old age, but not get the flu or pink eye and bullets bounce off my chest! Flying is for the birds … TriXie: If you could trade places with anyone for one day, who would it be? Sin Monkey: Paul Newman or Kirk Douglas. TriXie: Wow, old school! What celebrity would be the worst roommate? Sin Monkey: Quentin Tarantino. TriXie: Hot celeb you'd like to be stranded on a desert island with? Sin Monkey: Sigourney Weaver! TriXie: What's the worst food you've ever eaten? Sin Monkey: Balut.It's soft boiled duck eggs that still have the ducks in them! It's so freakin' nasty … TriXie: Ewww! I feel like brushing my teeth just from reading that! If you could go on tour with any band, which would it be? Sin Monkey: Nine Inch Nails. TriXie: What do you predict will be the 'next big thing' in gaming? Sin Monkey: I really think Microsoft nailed it with Xbox Live. Sony's desperate and playing catch-up even before the PS3 comes out. TriXie: I'm not gonna argue with that. What do you think is the best thing about the Xbox 360? Sin Monkey: The machine itself.The 360 kicks total ass! I can use my iPod, external HD and whatever else I can jam into it. TriXie: What would you like to be doing in ten years? Sin Monkey: Restoring vintage arcade machines. |
