Lets start by finding out a bit more about the man behind the GamerTag.
My name is Matthew. I'm 33 years old and have been gaming for most of my life. I work in a high-end electronics store. I do consults for custom home theaters and networking. I run my own graphics design business and do photography as well. I left the military some years back and served my country for 4 years. After my service was up I went to college in Wyoming. I have been together with my wife for 8.5 years now and we both live happily in Colorado. I enjoy history, skydiving, scuba diving, hockey, reading and rugby (when my back lets me.) I'm a pretty straight forward guy and like just about everybody I come in contact with. I have a temper, but that rarely rears its ugly head. Other than that, thats about it. I'm always looking for new friends on MySpace or XBL, so hit me up if you have time.

What is your favorite game on the 360?
Hmm, another in depth question.

Racing: Forza 2
RPG: Oblivion
Shooter: Rainbow and GoW
Platform: Kameo
Sport: EA Anything
Activity: Guitar Hero II

And the game that makes you scream?
Well Bullet Witch made me cry, because it was truly awful. GoW made me jump quite a few times, Screechers suck on insane. But for an overall scary time...I would have to say, "D" on the PS1. I played it when I was 17 and it scared the s**t out of me.

What achievement are you most proud of?
GoW on Insane....solo. Yeah I know, hard to believe. But, I just kept redoing it over and over and got lucky on Raam. I had back surgery, most of my friends gave up, so I did it alone.

Which achievement is the next on the hit list for you?
I just hit all gold in Forza career, next up is 1 million online credits. See me in 6 months lol. Then I should be right next to 40k GS.

What was the last thing you downloaded from the Arcade?
Porn.....no wait. Ummm, I think Harry Potter: Order of the Pheonix trailer.

Do you get games mainly for achievements, or for gameplay?
Gameplay to be honest. I just roll with what the game throws me. If I find myself close to 1000, I go for it. But, I really don't mind 980/1000. If it means I'm missing another title I love, I just skip it and come back another day.

Is the 360 your only console currently? Do you have plans for any more?
I used to be the DM at EBGames and Gamestop. So I went through a huge system collection obsession in the 90's. I have just about every system out there and I love em all. Yes, even the Sega CD.

Whats the next game that you will be getting?
I just bought Harry Potter: Order of the Pheonix, Guitar Hero, and Overlord yesterday. So I'm set for a couple weeks.
