Well, it all started when I was born… no one wants to hear ALL that, so let me skip to the interesting part…  The End. Well, maybe I’ll go backward a bit more then. I’m 18 and I live in Florida. I’m an avid gamer, who thoroughly enjoys my Xbox 360. I’m also currently serving as the Editor in Chief over at www.myarcadeplanet.com. I rather excited about that site, due to the fact I can now fuse writing with gaming, both of which I enjoy.

I’ve been using Cain as my Gamertag for longer than I can remember. You can trace its origin back to the most shoplifted book in the world: The Bible. I stole it from the story of Cain and Abel. If you think about it logically, Cain would have killed the one of largest if not the largest percentage of humanity ever. But the main reason I took it was that it is said he was marked by God, so that he could not be killed. In my opinion that makes for one heck of an FPS Tag.

I would like to think of myself as beneficial member to this community. I know a few months back, I used to joke saying I was the unofficial US Xbox Ambassador to the UK, but I haven’t had as much time to scroll around the UK forums lately, due to work with myarcadeplanet.com and my clan Tarsajuma.

The worst I’ve seen was your basic everyday flame war. In general, I tend to forget that bad sides to people and focus more on the positive. Some of the worst things I ever seen though, came out of the Call of Duty 2 clan section. I think some of these people actually thought we were at war. I’m really excited about some of the new additions to the moderation team. I’m sure they all will do a good job. One of which is a friend of mine named Crotech, who also works with me over at myarcadeplanet.com.

One thing I love about the community, is all the people who put in extra effort to write up guides and FAQ’s for games. Those guys are awesome. The forums are basically your very own free strategies guide. Despite its’ magnitude, xbox.com still manages to seem like a small tight nit community of gamers.

Asking the UK and US forums together is like comparing night and day. Often times, I think that you all [UK] seem to maintain at least a basic code of chivalry and level of respect, something that is often missing on the US front. It often reminds me why we as Americans often have a bad image with the rest of the world. Hopefully, we can change that image; even if it only impacts one person at a time.

Master Toppo- This kid is probably one of the most amazing I have ever met online. He is an amazing example of how young age does not equate with ignorance and rudeness, and he is a wonderful representative of the UK.

Crotech- Without him, I probably would not have come in contact with the folks over at myarcadeplanet.com. He has also pushed me toward increasing the quality of my posts.

TSJ Konkins- Has almost single handedly kept my clan afloat. Has brilliant management skills and is a great guy.

Also all the members of myarcadeplanet.com and everyone else at TSJ, you guys are awesome.

Most of my life seems dominated my school, at least for two more months. Other than that, I like to hang out with friends. Pretty much the same as every other guy my age.

Unfortunately, I don’t play near as much as I wish I could. Right now I’m delving into the Locust tunnels with Gears of War and rekindleling my love for Lord of the Rings with Battle for Middle Earth 2.

Guess!

Guess!

I’m a huge fan of Xbox live. I absolutely love it.  I would like to see more done with the Xbox ambassadors program.  I think that program has the potential to help he community drastically.

I think it’s a really cool concept, but I’m slightly worried about the implementation of it. I can’t wait to see how it all turns out.

Well, any one who is looking for a good place to discuss gaming news, reviews, and previews should check out www.myarcadeplanet.com. It’s an awesome site, and I am really proud of the progress we have made with it.
