Published June 24, 2009

He's an avid gamer, and a full-time student. As part of his work in the U.S. Navy, he has helped capture pirates off the Horn of Africa. How about a salute for KungFuCisco1976!

trixie360: What's the story behind your Gamertag?

KungFuCisco1976: Well, before I decided to join the Navy, I was a full time kung fu student at Wah Lum Temple in Orlando, FL. It's a Northern Praying Mantis style. I won my first Gold Medal with over 60 competitors at an International Tournament in Baltimore with only 10 months of instruction. If kung fu was a girl, she would be my wife.

trixie360: Wow, busy guy! What's the worst or weirdest job you've ever had?

KungFuCisco1976: Well, being in the Navy isn't all that the commercials portray it to be. When you're a young recruit or low on the totem pole, dirty jobs are a part of life, like cleaning up overflowing urinals and toilets while the ship is rocking and rolling. Gross.

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

KungFuCisco1976: I've been a member ever since Halo® 2 came out for the original Xbox.

trixie360: Do you have an archenemy on Xbox LIVE?

KungFuCisco1976: My cousin, loulogic532. This dude refuses to lose. And when he does, he wants to play you again until he wins. This guy has a pile of broke Xbox controllers in his living room. Sad remains of games lost.

trixie360: What's your Xbox setup like?

KungFuCisco1976: My Xbox is set up on a wireless network connected to a 46-inch HD television. I am currently upgrading my surround sound system to coincide with my manly needs. LOL.

trixie360: What is your favorite multiplayer Xbox game?

KungFuCisco1976: So far I've enjoyed Halo 3 and Gears of War® 1 and 2 the most. But my brother and I try to find every online co-op game in creation.

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

KungFuCisco1976: With much respect to Xbox, I gotta say The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I broke nights playing that game. It made me so sad when I finished it. :(

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

KungFuCisco1976: Man, I have so many. But Rocky IV is the only movie that motivated me enough to get off the couch and beat the crap out of my little brother.

trixie360: Rock Band or Guitar Hero?

KungFuCisco1976: Rock Band® 2 and Guitar Hero® Metallica®.

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

KungFuCisco1976: When the New Xbox Experience came out, there was a video with LeBron James and the lead singer from the Pussycat Dolls that had me rollin'!!! That was the best.

trixie360: What is your greatest Xbox LIVE moment?

KungFuCisco1976: Coming back from a 15 kill deficit on Halo 3. Toe to toe with palms sweaty and slippery feet.

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

trixie360: What's your karaoke song?

KungFuCisco1976: "Hello" by Lionel Richie.

trixie360: LOL! Ew. What superpower would you like to have?

trixie360: What celebrity would be the worst roommate?

KungFuCisco1976: Flava Flav.

trixie360: How many people are on your Friends List?

KungFuCisco1976: Well right now I only have like 5 (yeah, I know, pathetic). I deleted several of them since we don't play much together.

trixie360: Hear that, community? Shoot him some Friend Requests! Hot celeb you'd like to be stranded on a desert island with?

KungFuCisco1976: Is my wife gonna read this???? Sorry babe, but it would probably be Kim Kardashian. Sorry, Reggie.

Rocky IV can be a very motivational movie.

The Nomination Mail:

Hi Trixie!!!

I am an Electronics Technician 2nd Class for the United States Navy. I reside in Virginia Beach, VA and have super athletes for kids and a queen for a wife.

I have completed one deployment and two surges on the U.S.S. Nassau (LHA-4) where I had the opportunity to capture and detain Somali pirates off the Horn of Africa. I have also hit such ports as Bahrain, Spain, Italy, Palma De Mallorca, Seychelles, Cuba, Bahamas, and various ports within the United States. I am now enjoying my shore duty in Naval Air Station Oceana.

My hobbies are weight lifting (which I do to offset my growing belly), playing Xbox LIVE with my brother who lives in New York and my cousin who lives in Florida and my stepson who sleeps upstairs (he also has his own 360 with Xbox LIVE! Woo Hoo!)

I've been playing video games since the 80s, mastering such games as Mike Tyson's Punch-Out and maturing to the Halos and such. My brother and I proactively search for co-op games that we can play together (Left 4 Dead, Halo, Gears of War, Army of Two, H.A.W.X, Call of Duty, Turok, etc.) and conquer.

Thanks for all that you do, Xbox. With the stresses of military life, it is sweet to know that I can relax with a game with family and friends and if I get shot, I can re-spawn in about 5-8 seconds.
