The Important Stuff:Gamertag: MO MOSS | Gamer Spotlight:TriXie Interviews MO MOSSPublished January 18, 2008 He's a husband and father in St. Paul, Minnesota who leads a rabid pack of parents who play games. Get to know MO MOSS. TriXie: What's the story behind your Gamertag? MO MOSS: MO MOSS started when I played football on the Dreamcast (yes, dial-up, we had to play the games at 3:00 or 4:00 A.M. in the morning to get a good connection). So I would type, "Yo, YOU WANT SOME MO MOSS, OR YOU WANT SOME MO WILLIAMS?" So when I went to Xbox LIVE®, MO MOSS was born. TriXie: What do you do in St. Paul? MO MOSS: I own an independent insurance agency, called Certified Insurance Brokers.
You want some MO MOSS? You got some MO MOSS! TriXie: What's the worst or weirdest job you've ever had? MO MOSS: The two that stick in my mind the most are 1) flipping burgers at Burger King when I was 16; and 2) I was a janitor at the Children's Hospital in Boston. I'll just say I saw a lot of sad things. TriXie: How long have you been on Xbox LIVE? MO MOSS: 2001 or 2002? I went to a friend's house and he was playing 2K basketball online, and he let me play one quarter. I want to say the next day Comcast was at my house installing high speed. TriXie: Do you have an archenemy on Xbox LIVE? MO MOSS: TooMuchJuice, KG4MvP, Rich Rob, DatWon, and all the GamerDadz. TriXie: Tell us about GamerDadz! MO MOSS: There is a group of parents that have a forum on xbox.com that I'm a part of. We're a bunch of Dads and Moms that love to game. It's also a place to chill and relax (kind of like Cheers) and talk about everyday issues we face as parents and gamers. GamerDads has been around for a little over a year, so if there are other Dads or Moms who would like to join the party, please don't hesitate. I think if we can make it to two years, maybe we will get our GAMERDADS ICON! TRIXIE, HELP!! A special thanks to Beezy2584, ethanjude, JD Buck, Unreal Butcher, TW1N M00NS, and all the other GamerDadz out there. TriXie: And you guys have a new public forum on Xbox.com.
