Trixie360 Interviews LethalMC1
Published July 7, 2008
She's a Florida grandma with mad gaming skills. Don't feed her liver and don't treat her like a girl. Show some respect for LethalMC1.
trixie360: What's the story behind your Gamertag?
LethalMC1: In my mind, I thought I was the most lethal player around. No, seriously. I wanted Master Chief in my name, but it was taken, so I put lethal in front, and had to shorten it to MC.
LethalMC1 points to where she'd like to go next.
trixie360: What do you do in Florida?
LethalMC1: I don't work at the moment. Does playing games all day at my house count as a job?
trixie360: The toughest job you'll ever love! What's the worst or weirdest job you've ever had?
LethalMC1: I never had a job I didn't like.
trixie360: How long have you been on Xbox LIVE®?
LethalMC1: When Halo® 2 came out. My good friend XClericK, told me about this cool thing called Xbox LIVE.
trixie360: Do you have an archenemy on Xbox LIVE?
LethalMC1: That would have to be XClericK. We are always trying to one up each other on our Gamerscore.
trixie360: How many hours a day or week do you spend playing on Xbox LIVE?
LethalMC1: I'm too embarrassed to say.
trixie360: Awww, you're among friends! What's the hardest thing about being a female gamer on Xbox LIVE?
Be careful who you trash talk in COD4, you might get pwned.
LethalMC1: I was playing Call of Duty® 4: Modern Warfare™, with my friend Vecna32, when out of the blue, three guys on our team started to attack me verbally because I was a female. I refused to let them chase me out of the room, so for three games I put up with their abuse. Now, I'm not saying I didn't have a good time. Believe me, by the time Vec and I were done with them, they went crying home to their mommies. Bring your best, or just don't try at all. Bring it on!
trixie360: Are there any advantages?
LethalMC1: I hope not. I don't want to be treated any differently just because I'm a female.
trixie360: What's your Xbox setup like?
LethalMC1: Mine is very simple. I sit on my couch in front of my 37-inch TV. I always have coffee and chewing gum near.
trixie360: What's the best feature of Xbox LIVE?
LethalMC1: Private Chat. It came in handy while playing UNO® with my partner Tru7h Seeker. We were unstoppable!
trixie360: What feature would you like to see on Xbox LIVE?
LethalMC1: I know this is farfetched, but to be able to play against my friends who own a PS3. I don't get it either. Why would anyone not want to own a 360?
Many gamers are looking forward to the next iteration of Viva Piñata.
trixie360: Gamers before consoles … I like it! What future LIVE game are you most looking forward to?
LethalMC1: Viva Piñata®: Trouble in Paradise. I'm more into shooters, but after playing the demo of VP … I was hooked. I never did get a WildCard.
trixie360: What do you think is the best game of all time?
LethalMC1: Metroid. Man, was I shocked to find out Samus was a female.
trixie360: What's the funniest thing you've ever heard on Xbox LIVE?
LethalMC1: While playing Call of Duty 4, my son called out, "Mom, you have someone near you." Some guy on our team said, "Did he just say … mom?" Our whole team started laughing.
trixie360: What is your greatest Xbox LIVE moment?
LethalMC1: While my oldest son Mark was in Iraq for 14 months. It was Xbox LIVE that kept me sane. I will always be grateful to Granty Panty and Xbox. I was able to keep my mind off the war for a few hours each day.
trixie360: Who is your inner rock star?
LethalMC1: She's a woman who can sing, play a mean guitar, and looks good.
trixie360: If they made a movie about your life, who should play you?
LethalMC1: Cameron Diaz. We have the same personality. Wish I had more in common with her. *wink*
trixie360: What celebrity would be the worst roommate?
LethalMC1: Master Chief. He's a celebrity, right?
trixie360: Of course he is! Who's your favorite superhero?
LethalMC1: I don't have one. I'd have to say my husband is my superhero. He's my biggest fan. He brags about me being a gamer. He just wished I could get paid for it.
trixie360: Hot celeb you'd like to shack up with?
LethalMC1: Jared Leto. Is it getting hot in here?
When Niko Bellic is your alter ego, you're lethal indeed.
trixie360: It's just you. I'm not a fan of emo boys. What game character is most like you?
LethalMC1: Niko Bellic, from Grand Theft Auto® IV. Let's just say, I had way too much fun playing. I'm still looking for that last pigeon.
trixie360: What's the worst food you've ever eaten?
LethalMC1: Liver. Do I need to really answer why it's the WORST? Taste it once, and you'll know. I don't want to spoil it for those who have never tried it.
trixie360: Oh no, don't spoil it. That'd be like giving away the ending of The Sixth Sense! Last book you read?
LethalMC1: Gods and Pharaohs from Egyptian Mythology by Geraldine Harris, David O'Connor and John Sibbick. I went to Egypt earlier this year. I felt the need to learn more.
trixie360: I wanted to be an Egyptologist when I was nine. And a ballerina. Oh, and a fairy princess. If you could go on tour with any band, which would it be?
LethalMC1: Bret Michaels. I'd like to find out if that's his real hair. I saw him without his headband once on TV, something about it looked odd.
trixie360: Let us know if you uncover anything bizarre! What do you predict will be the "next big thing" in gaming?
LethalMC1: Able to do my banking over my console. Sure, roll your eyes. You never know.
trixie360: It'd be cool if the 360 dispensed money! What do you think is the best thing about Xbox 360®?
LethalMC1: We moved back to the U.S., from Germany. My friend asked to see what my house looked like. I was able to show parts of it with the camera. How cool is that?
trixie360: Way cool! What would you like to be doing in ten years?
LethalMC1: I know this is going to sound silly. I can't wait to play video games with my grandchildren. Oh, and to take another trip to Egypt.
