Brad Thompson is 16 years old, lives in Westerville, Ohio and joined the new
forums on 10/12/2003. He has received
votes as one of the friendliest members on the XBS Members Award 2004 and is
famous for his Cat (not really HIS cat, but somehow…). But one of the main
contributions Brad has given Xbox Solution, is the Cake, or as it has become
to be the “All-Purpose-XBS-Cake”.

The XBS Cake was originally intended to be used only during birtdays,
but Brad thought out of the box (not out of the Xbox though!) and decided that,
that was not enough. It has been used to celebrate post counts, birthdays and
welcomes to the site. Click on the thumbnails below to check some of the cakes
out, and don’t forget to visit the forums to see more:



This is what Brad had to say to our questions when we informed he had become
the Featured Member of the Month for 03/04! (And don’t forget Rockk’s answers
are coming after Brad’s!!!)

And without further wait… here’s Brad!

Chris
is 17 years old, lives in Mesa, Arizona and joined the new forums on 10/06/2003.
His favorite movie is Office Space (not like we don’t know by now),
and likes to go swimming, fishing, plane spotting, and hang out with his friends
when he’s not leaving you behind on PGR2.

From his interview we were able to gather that he’s a chicken nuggets and fries
eater and also a student that has aviation and some sports as his hobbies. We
are all familiar with Chris’ aviation hobbie as he has been kind enough to share
screenshots of his flights on Flight Simulator, I’d just be careful if he were
to pilot a plane I am on (check screensot below for details). Besides that,
we have always been able to count on Chris for interesting topics on the forums
and good games of Xbox Live regardless the game. We can always get a laugh out
of Four-Holed Rockk; and for you sick people, the comment is based on the Pagani
Zonda S on PGR2.

But Brad (Viper
776) is not the only one who has pets (on his avatar), Chris (Rockk)
has a couple of pets and he shared a couple of pics of them with us! And as
promised, check the screenshot of Chris’ accident while playing Flight simulator!





And now, Chris’ answers to our questions!

Why XboxSolution.com?
Because it’s the Xbox Solution, duh! In all honesty, it has everything I look
for in a site: up to date news, awesome articles, a great forum and great members.

Favorite part of XBS?
I can’t choose just one as I love every part of it. However, since I guess I
have to, I’ll choose the forums since
that’s probably where I spend most of my time. We’ve formed a close community
both on the forum and outside the forum…well, at least on Xbox Live.

Any New Year’s resolutions?
Since I’m a senior in high school, the only “real” resolution I made
this year was to pass and find a college. I’m passing so far. How is the college
search going? Well, I’m trying. No, really, I am.

Any Xbox titles you feel are underrated, if
so what title and why?
Unfortunately, I haven’t given many games that got bad reviews or negative attention
much attention myself so I can’t really say any game is underrated. I will throw
Shenmue II in there though. Shenmue on Dreamcast was one of the best gaming
experiences I’ve had and it continued on the Xbox with Shenmue II. As some of
you may have heard, the fate of Shenmue III rested on how well Shenmue II did
on Xbox and for some reason I don’t think it did all that well.

What would you like to see as a topic on an
article on XboxSolution?
I’d like to see an article on the future of the gaming industry. Maybe give
some insight as to where you see the industry is heading and if you see it growing
bigger or smaller. Are there still ideas for games that haven’t been discovered
yet? Stuff like that ya’ know?

Anyone you would like to nominate for next months
featured member?
First two that come to my mind are Hughes and Viper. I’m sure there more so
don’t feel bad if I didn’t recommend you.

What is your favorite Xbox title?
Halo, period. I still need to get my daily fix or someone would think I was
having nicotine withdrawals.

Favorite XBL title? If different.
Project Gotham Racing 2. RS3 would be my choice, but I really suck at it so
it goes down in my list. I’m thinking Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow might
knock PGR2 off its throne.

How did you get into gaming?
I can’t remember this stuff. I’m waay too old. Actually, I think I got addicted
when I first played Mario on the NES. My mom couldn’t get me off so she bought
me an old school Gameboy for my birthday. Keep in mind I was like, 2(?). I eventually
went back and bought older consoles and, of course, the newer ones.

How long have you been gaming?
Probably about 16 years.

Whats your favorite non xbox title?
Super Mario World on SNES. Best Mario game ever.

How many titles you own?
1, 2, 3…18. Yep 18. Not including demos of course.

How do you rate your love of videogames on a
scale of casual to complete addict?
On a scale of 1-10 – 1 being casual, 10 being complete addict – probably a 9.

Movie you would like to be turned into a game?
Probably none. I can’t think of a movie, that isn’t already a game, that I would
like to play. :-/ There are some games I’d like to see turned into a movie,
though.

Xbox title you are most anticipating?
Yep, you guessed it, Halo 2. Fable is a VERY close second.

Favorite genre?
First Person Shooters.

And finally, with great excitement, I am proud to officially announce Viper
776 (Brad) as our March Featured Member and Rockk
(Chris) as our April Featured Member. Thanks for everything you two have done
for the community, and we hope you stick around!
