I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. For this week’s 22 Questions I interviewed Dolbex. He is a gamer just like you and me, and is a part of the 2old2play community. He also manages and writes on his own blog, Dolbex.com. Also like you and me, he is a slave to the entertainment industry and often gets the newest gadgets to get his fix. The benefit for us is that he writes about it and reviews it. Have a stop by his blog and take a look at his answers to the 22 Qs.

- Gametag: Dolbex
- Pet Peeve: Leaving your hair in the shower. My wife is horrible about that. Wet hair gives me the willies.
- Your Best Moment of Triumph: Last think I remember is getting a PS3. Opposing that is trying to sell it on eBay.
- Game That Was the Biggest Let Down: Red Steel
- Closest You Have Come to Death: Passing out in the bathroom at MLG 2005 championship and cracking my head open.
- What Are You Better at Than Anyone You Know: Rationalizing how I am right when I am in fact very wrong.
- Little Known Fact: Probably the only thing I love more than gaming is my wife and going to new places.
- Ideal Business: Tour guide.
- First Game That Had You Hooked: Ohhh, good one. I actually got a NES when it first came out and I remember absolutely dying to get home to play Super Mario Brothers. I played a lot of consoles growing up but really stopped around end of high school. I didn’t even know what the Xbox was until a friend picked it up at launch along with Halo… that was the beginning of… well.. you all know… “the sickness”.
- Mac or PC: Pfff… I’m a follower 100%. Who likes it easy anyway? PC.
- Song You Are Currently Listening to: Unity – 311 – Music
- Game/System You Are Looking Forward to the Most: Wiiiiii!
- Supernatural Power of Choice: Super-Shit-Talk. I still have a voice like my balls haven’t dropped even though I’m 26… its pathetic.
- Most Expensive Thing You Ever Stole: Pack of Bubblelicious when I was 7. My mom made me take it back to the store and give it to the manager. I was horrified. I never stole again.
- Favorite Arcade Game: Original Mortal Kombat
- Last Gadget Purchased: 5.5 30GB video iPod. I waited for the Zune and when I found out it’s secret feature was it sucked I bought an iPod.
- Favorite Holiday: Halloween.
- Current Trend You Least Understand: Jesus, what the fuck are kids wearing these days? They look like god damn cartoon characters. One is in hip-hop pink, the next in green, next blue, on and on. It looks like a fucking Skittles commercial. I want to scream “Haven’t you seen Fight Club? You’re not a special snow flake!” Pfff… youth.
- Simon or Garfunkel: Garfunkel = Gary + Funk(el)
- Historical Figure You Would Reanimate: Jesus… no wait. Charlie Brown.
- Dogs, Cats, Birds or Wombats: Dogs. Specifically my Dog Lenny. (This interview is about me right?!)
- Movie Quote: “Mog. Ima Mog. Half man, half dog – Mog. I’m my own best friend.”
- Jessica Chobot asks- How do you define a “hard-core” gamer: I would define them as anyone that looks at gaming as more than just gaming. Gaming for me is the communities, the news, the promotions, and the events. You don’t have to be good to be hardcore. Just look at Wu. He’s horrible, but certainly hardcore. Hell, he’s “Chuck Norris” hardcore.
Thanks for the awesome answers Dolbex. That is pretty crazy that you busted your head open at an MLG tourney, did the Ogres revive you? ... Only to BXR you back down to the floor. Anyhoo, keep up the insight on the blog, I enjoy stopping by and reading what your thoughts are on things. Till next Friday readers, when you can see who I interview then.


Sounds like a good gamer. I think we all have caught “the sickness”.
I remember it like it was yesterday…
My babysitter Benjamin brought over his xbox and a copy of halo… history ever since.
Crazy how a game can almost define who you are as a person.
And i totally agree with his definition of what makes a Gamer
This doesn’t really apply but since I’m under 21 I couldn’t join the forum without lying which was my only other option to contact y’all! :)
Something I’m considering doing on my blog is having posts which feature different communities’ different beliefs and values. My opinion is that varying communities’ have varying values and that is the way it should be.
Your community would be the first one that I present about on my blog, but your community has interested me, and I was hoping that with your permission, I could send my questions to a member who knows a lot about the community. It wouldn’t be a personality interview, but rather a post about the community.
In doing this I hope to spread the knowledge of many different communities to help people find one or two that are right for them.
Let me know if you’re interested and which member has been a part of your group long enough to answer some deep questions!

Also for Xerx and Dweezle: Any tips you may have for me on blogging are more than welcome!
