Published March 14, 2008

He's a constant forum presence, a student in Dublin, Ireland, and one of the new Xbox Ambassadors. Say top of the mornin' to my little buttercup cow moolester.

trixie360: What's the story behind your Gamertag?

cow moolester: Well, I was planning to change my Gamertag anyway, and earlier that day, I saw a guy trying to jump on a cow in a nearby field and cow moolester was the first thing that popped into my head!

trixie360: What do you do when you're not gaming?

cow moolester: I'm in third year in Secondary School (High School in the U.S.) and doing my Junior Cert this year (State Exam over here).

cow moolester is one of our new Xbox Ambassadors.

trixie360: What's the worst or weirdest job you've ever had?

cow moolester: When I was 13, I worked down in the West while staying with some family. My job was assisting in inseminating cows (underlying reason for my Gamertag?).

trixie360: Ick. How long have you been on Xbox LIVE®?

cow moolester: Since the Xbox 360® launch over here on December 2, 2005.

trixie360: Do you have an archenemy on Xbox LIVE, and if so, unmask him now!

cow moolester: PeeKnuckle! For starting the Buttercup thing!

trixie360: What's your Xbox set-up like?

cow moolester: Nothing too fancy. 37-inch HDTV, 5.1 Surround Sound … the usual.

trixie360:What's the best feature of Xbox LIVE?

cow moolester: It may be a small feature, but in-game messaging, friends list and all that are the best features! I have a PlayStation 3 and honestly, I don't know how I could cope with having a separate friends list for every game, and having to exit a game just to read a message.

trixie360:Yeah, we kinda rock. What do you think is the best game of all time?

cow moolester: GoldenEye. I could pick it up today and still play the multiplayer for hours.

trixie360: What's the funniest thing you've ever heard on Xbox LIVE?

cow moolester: I was playing some Call of Duty® 4: Modern Warfare™ with some friends and we were talking about armor. Friend No. 1 said how his protection was best, and then Friend No. 2 said that he had the Deep Impact Perk which had good penetration and then he said, "Your protection can't withstand my penetration." I laughed for days.

So Friend No. 1 said …

trixie360: What is your greatest Xbox LIVE moment?

cow moolester: Beating Pogre three times in a row on Texas Hold 'em and Bloody Baroness once :) Considering I have a bankroll of -$2 million this victory was huge for me. I celebrated with cake.

trixie360: Who is your inner rock star?

cow moolester: Everyone knows I'm a male Rihanna. You can all stand under my umbrella :)

trixie360: ella, ella, ella. If they made a movie about your life, who should play you?

cow moolester: Will Ferrell. He is the only one to equal me in coolness.

cow moolester's biggest moment was beating Pogre twice in a row at Texas Hold 'em.

trixie360: What superpower would you like to have?

cow moolester: Invisibility … no girl's locker room would be safe.

trixie360: Sigh. If you could trade places with anyone for one day, who would it be?

cow moolester: Paris Hilton. While being her, I'd bleach my skin and shave my head. We'll see if "That's hot!" then.

trixie360: Clever. What celebrity would be the worst roommate?

cow moolester: Everyone says Paris Hilton, so I'm going to say Nicole Richie instead.

trixie360: Her baby might keep you up all night. Hot celeb you'd like to be stranded on a desert island with?

cow moolester: Rihanna, no questions asked.

trixie360: If you could be any videogame character, who would it be?

cow moolester: Weighted Companion Cube, obviously!

trixie360: What's the worst food you've ever eaten?

cow moolester: Nettle soup, absolutely disgusting!

trixie360: What's the last book you read?

cow moolester: Romeo & Juliet for my English Junior Cert study.

trixie360: "Do you bite your thumb at me, sir?" If you could go on tour with any band, which would it be?

cow moolester: Snow Patrol.

trixie360: What do you predict will be the 'next big thing' in gaming?

cow moolester: Huge multiplayer games. Like 1000 vs. 1000 as was demonstrated by Microsoft lastyear, I think.

trixie360:Are you sure you didn't just dream that? What do you think is the best thing about the Xbox 360?

cow moolester: The community … honestly, I have never met a better community in my life! I say that to every new person on the forums because it's so true. I wub my Xbox Community.

trixie360: What is the Xbox 360 achievement that was hardest to get?

cow moolester: New Squadron Record on COD4 for me.

trixie360: What would you like to be doing in ten years?

cow moolester: Studying to be a doctor in college!

trixie360: Doctor Moolester? I think we're all in trouble.
