trixie360: What's the story behind your Gamertag?

ChickinOnaChain: My forum GT, pbrown78541 is just my first e-mail address and I've always used it for forums. ChickinOnaChain is the one I play on. It's a bull's name from the PBR. I had to change the spelling on chicken, since that was taken.

trixie360: Where do you live?

ChickinOnaChain: About 75 miles south of Dallas, in a small town.

trixie360: What do you do for a living?

ChickinOnaChain: I do customer service for a farm parts distributor. It's pretty laid back.

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

ChickinOnaChain: Working on a trash truck. It was an open truck and I was the one walking on the trash, to pack it down. I quit when I had to work in the rain.

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

ChickinOnaChain: Since January 2006.

ChickinOnaChain: fotyfoe. He's my best friend online and the one I play against the most.

trixie360: What's your Xbox setup like?

ChickinOnaChain: I've got a 55-inch Sony. Big screen's awesome. But I wish it was a 60-inch! I've got surround sound … but I rarely use that. I don't know why but I don't and I should. A lot of games have got to sound great.

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

ChickinOnaChain: I don't know if it's the best feature but it always amazes me, to see that you're playing with someone, from all over the world. I like to look at where they're from, when I stop playing.

trixie360: What do you think is the best game of all time?

ChickinOnaChain: I love Test Drive® Unlimited because of all my games, I've played it and replayed it the most.

TDU is a great racing game.

trixie360: What do you think is the best album of all time?

ChickinOnaChain: Meet the Beatles. That was my start into music. And yes, that dates me quite a bit. I'm pushing 60 years old.

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

ChickinOnaChain: In TDU, me and fotyfoe were stopped in our cars, side by side, just sitting there and just like in the commercial, he asks me if I have any Gray Poupon mustard. It just cracked me up.

trixie360: What is your greatest Xbox LIVE moment?

ChickinOnaChain: I guess when I made the decision to buy one. Good investment and I've never regretted it.

trixie360: What's your favorite TV show?

ChickinOnaChain: An old 60s one … Combat! And Cheers. I have DVD box sets of both shows.

trixie360: Who is your inner rock star?

ChickinOnaChain: It'd have to be a drummer, since I drum on anything my hands are close to. In school, if I had two pencils, I was drumming. And getting into trouble.

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

ChickinOnaChain: Someone handsome. Suave. Sophisticated. Much like myself. Yeah, right!

What the suave and sophisticated outlaw biker wears.

trixie360: What's your karaoke song?

ChickinOnaChain: Whatever's on the radio at the time. And something from the 80s techno, retro era.

trixie360: What superpower would you like to have?

ChickinOnaChain: The Midas Touch. Is that a superpower?

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

ChickinOnaChain: Gene Simmons. He's got it all … except nice hair. I'm bald but man, what's up with his hair?

trixie360: Maybe it's a weave. Or a dead cat. What celebrity would be the worst roommate?

ChickinOnaChain: Rosie O'Donnell.

Jack Carver of the Far Cry series gets his nod as favorite game character.

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

ChickinOnaChain: Spinach. As a child, I ate some and gagged.

trixie360: What's the last book you read?

ChickinOnaChain: Read? Book? You'd have to go WAY back to find that out.

trixie360: If you could go on tour with any band, which would it be?

ChickinOnaChain: Godsmack. I'd like to get in on the "Drum Duel" song.

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

ChickinOnaChain: More power, more HD space. All at a very reasonable price.

trixie360: What do you think is the best thing about Xbox 360?

ChickinOnaChain: The games of course. So many. And new ones coming out all of the time.

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

ChickinOnaChain: This is easy. Mission 9 in ACE COMBAT® 6: Fires of Liberation™. When I finished it, I was so relieved that I did it, I thanked the people who helped with suggestions on the forums but I don't think they saw it. So I'll do it again here … THANK YOU, draux, BeeRadBigs, and Sonovius.
