Trixie360 Interviews iSpaz

Published January 7, 2009

He's a gamer, a graphic design student, and a kicker for the Missouri Western State University Griffons. He also has an awesome Gamertag, so say "Go Griffs" to iSpaz!

trixie360: What's the story behind your Gamertag?

iSpaz: Good question. Ever since I got my first Xbox® and started playing Halo®, my brother and his friends would always tell me that it looked like my player was spazzing when trying to aim. So that's how the Spaz part came about, and the i simply stands for me. Put it all together and you got iSpaz.

iSpaz in action.

trixie360: Where do you live?

iSpaz: I live in St. Joseph, Missouri.

trixie360: What are you studying?

iSpaz: Right now, I am a student athlete at Missouri Western State University. Go Griffs! I am working towards getting my BFA in graphic design and I'm also the kicker for the football team here.

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

iSpaz: Picking tractor parts at Case New Holland (not fun at all!).

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

iSpaz: I have been on Xbox LIVE for about eight years now.

trixie360: Hmm, we've only been around for six years, but that's cool. Do you have an archenemy on Xbox LIVE?

iSpaz: Yes I do. The funny thing is we used to play in the same clan together and we are very good friends. He goes by iOther. He would always be just a couple kills ahead of me when we played Halo 2, and he was never shy to tell me what the final score was LOL. 

iSpaz and iOther have had tremendous battles in Halo 2.

trixie360: What's your Xbox setup like?

iSpaz: Right now, I have a 46-inch Aquos Sharp with an average Philips Surround Sound system all stuffed inside my dorm room.

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

iSpaz: Definitely video chat. When my brother lived at home, I would always video chat with him and get to see my Mom, Dad, and yes, my cats!

trixie360: What is your favorite Xbox LIVE game?

iSpaz: Halo 3 by a long shot. I have always been a huge fan of the Halo books and games. Can't get enough of them.

iSpaz: The Elder Scrolls® IV: Oblivion™. I enjoy going back to the old ages to let my sword do some work.

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

iSpaz: Mario Kart for the Nintendo 64. It's just a classic in my eyes.

iSpaz spends some time as an adventuring sellsword in Oblivion.

iSpaz: Scarface! He is one bad dude.

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

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

iSpaz: After my brother iAndro and I severely beat a team in Halo 3, a kid plugged in his mic only to say, "Wooooooow!" We still quote him to this day!

trixie360: What is your greatest Xbox LIVE moment?

iSpaz: Playing Halo on Turf, the score was 49-49 and no one was moving. With my hands shaking and also sweating, I decided I would be the one to go and hunt the people down. I found two crouching around, so I got a head shot on one, before they knew where I was.

trixie360: What's your favorite TV show?

iSpaz: Rob & Big. They're hilarious.

trixie360: Who is your inner rock star?

iSpaz: Chester from Linkin Park.

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

iSpaz: Gerard Butler, the main guy from the movie 300. He's pretty crazy and so am I.

trixie360: He's making a lot of romantic comedies now. He may have spent all his awesome in 300. What's your karaoke song?

iSpaz: "Dixie Land Delight" by Alabama.

trixie360: What cartoon character do you think is most like you?

iSpaz: Butters from South Park. He's always trying to stay out of trouble, but the other kids seem to talk him into it.

His stellar gameplay in Halo 3 has earned him a "Wow!"

trixie360: What superpower would you like to have?

iSpaz: Super speed, so when I kick off the football, I can fly down there and tackle the guy!

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

iSpaz: Bill Gates. I would transfer some money to myself and then release all of his new ideas to the media.

trixie360: What celebrity would be the worst roommate?

iSpaz: Donald Trump. I can't stand that guy, unless he slipped me a couple dollars.

trixie360: His hair is NASTY. Who's your favorite superhero?

iSpaz: Iron Man.

trixie360: Hot celeb you' d like to be stranded on a desert island with?

iSpaz: My girlfriend iTayla, she's a celeb in my world! And hot!

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

iSpaz: Master Chief. I would kick some Covenant butt all through the night.

Getting all the Agility Orbs in Crackdown is an accomplishment.

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

iSpaz: Blue cheese, come on, it's rotten cheese, LOL.

trixie360: Yeah, it's a bad concept. What's the last book you read?

iSpaz: Linkin Park. I know I've used them for all of the music questions but they're amazing!
