Today’s gamer is Peter Harris who enjoys vampires, shooting things and walks on the beach (at least one of those isn’t true probably). He obviously doesn’t like zombies, as he appears to condones beheading zombies. Good thing we’re such forgiving soulless creatures around here. Otherwise he’d be brunch.
Go ahead. Introduce yourself. Don’t be shy.
Hey everyone, my name is Peter, my gamer friends know me as ViRuS_Ltd. I play for a clan called SyZyGy (SZG)
What’s you platform of choice? Why?
PS3 – the online community is great and there is no possibility of running hacks (I think)
Can you remember the first time you ‘gamed’?
Hmmm… I was 7 or 8 years old, it was on an old ‘286 PC. I think the game was F1 racing – 16 colours for the WIN… lol
How long have you been gaming?
Let’s see, 29 minus 7 (or 8) equals… 22 years!
When do you think you’ll stop gaming?
I don’t think I will ever stop gaming, it’s my passion. I can see myself fighting with my grand kids one day, about whose turn it is to play.
Are you a serious gamer? Or do you enjoy a laugh?
I would say a bit of both, depending on my mood. I’ve been told by my wife to relax, “it’s just a game” and by my friends to stop singing “postman pat” or “liewe heksie”
Singleplayer or multiplayer?
I prefer multiplayer, it’s more social, well sort of. I do play the odd single player game on occasion.
Is playing online important to you?
VERY! I would go to extreme measures to make sure I have an internet connection.
Favourite game currently?
Battlefield 3
Do you have any hobbies outside of gaming? What?
Um, I used to play a lot of golf and fly RC model airplanes, but not so much anymore.
You’re stranded on a desert island and a genie grants you five items. Name them:
A game: Battlefield 3 😛
A CD: anyone of the Parlotones CD’s
A movie or TV series: TRUE BLOOD (yes I said it, I’m a closet vampire fan 🙁 )
An organic life form: a trained pet velociraptor – that would be so cool 🙂
Something edible or drinkable: big can of Monster energy drink.
What’s the most embarrassing or worst game you’ve ever bought or received as a gift?
When I was 25 years I bought SPYRO for my PS2 – you know the little purple dragon game.
If you were a game designer, describe your ultimate game design.
To be honest, I have no idea, as long as I can shoot something I’m happy.
The zombie apocalypse has happened. You’re facing down a ravenous zombie horde (which may or may not include members of ZG in bikinis). What weapon do you grab?
A machete, it seemed to work pretty well on Dead Island 🙂
The zombie apocalypse has happened. You’re all toast. Become a turncoat and assist the superior zombies or stay with the soon to be wiped out human resistance?
I never could get accustomed to the taste of brains – I will stick with the Humans. 😛
Thanks for taking the time to answer our silly questions. What game are you off to play now that you’re done?
It’s my pleasure – and I will be playing Battlefield 3 of course.
