Greetings denizens of Gamespot, and welcome back to the next instalment of what's to be an ongoing exploration into the strangest and darkest reaches of the internet – the mind of a moderator.

Important to note that this is not just an Off Topic thing, but a Q&A that encompasses all of Gamespot, with mods from across the boards and where all users are welcome to participate. There are sticky notifications in all the major discussion boards (General Gaming Discussion and System Wars) as well as the platform specific boards to brings every poster in every part of gamespot under one roof for this ongoing series. So you'll interact with the mods you're familiar with and get to know the others from different parts of the forums.


Oh you might think the life of a moderator is all champagne and caviar, fame & fortune, and prestige beyond measure. But let me assure you fine folks that nothing could be farther from the truth. For one thing we don't even get paid for what we do :P So now peer beneath the veil as you get to find out what makes us tick.

Each week (from Wed-Wed), one of us will assume the Hot Seat and take questions from you, the life blood of this community. Oh sure you could ask us what our favourite food is, or movie, or actor, or get our opinions on gaming. But why stop there? Want to know what super power we would choose if we could possess one? Where we would go if we could travel in time? Who we think would win in a fight between Wolverine and Sonic the Hedgehog?

Be inventive. Be imaginative. By all means push us to the brink of our sanity :twisted: And while some playful ribbing is permitted here (even encouraged ;) ), don't get outright offensive or insulting. TOU rules still apply.But also let me emphasise although you can ask about our experiences as a mod, this isn't about moderation inquiries, or a supplement to Ask the Mods. Also mods will reserve the right not to answer a question if it gets too personal.

Think of it more like we're all just chillin' at a bar, getting to know each other in conversation and just having fun. Take it as a social experience.

OUR BODIES ARE READY!!

OK basics... Gender: Male From: South Florida originally My username: I actually came up with it when i found out my grandmother liked to eat chickens' feet Boards/Unions I frequent: I typically hang out on How to GameSpot, most of the tech support boards and GGD. I used to hang out in OT a lot but started to notice a lot of the same threads showing up, so i figured i'd give talking about games a try. I'm in a few unions though pretty much all of them are dead. They're public on my profile if you're really that interested :P My first moderation: It was actually for being offensive and saying the word "buttsecks" in July of 2006. Yeah, that is what actually started me from fading away from OT Favorite decade of music: I'd definitely have to go with the 80's since I can honestly say there are a lot of genres I was able to get into with 80's groups Beverage of choice: Right now, i typically stick to water or grape juice...but if they could bring it back, i'd love to get a hold of some Apple Slice Most hated thread: Actually, i can put up with girl threads and religion threads for the most part, but i really don't like threads whose sole purpose is to b**** and complain and not try to present a viable solution to a problem Cake or Pie: Since i view cheesecake as both a cake and a pie, i'd say both Cheese: Cheese? A lot of choices, but i suppose a good havardi cheese would be great Sally: Last time i went to the seashore, her store was closed so i don't really know anymore :(

I've honestly only done about 5% of the game naked...but about 30% of it with my sex toy. FEAR THE SEX TOY! (didn't know d***o was censored) ^_^
My knee is better, but not 100%. I'm not limping anymore
OT is...special. I haven't been visiting like i used to since my partner in crime left me for another board
I have won $50 playing a scratch off ticket which was pretty damn exciting.

Hallenbeck77
Well, he's sexy. Actually, i have been well versed in the fighting genre for a long time, so i knew of the characters Robert and Ryo long before Dan came out. When Dan hit the SF:Alpha scene, i gave him a try and noticed how horrible he was. But since i was a bad ass at fighting games (according to my family) i decided to use him. The more i fought with him, the more i discovered how much of a bad ass you have to be to actually beat someone with him. When he appeared in the Marvel vs Capcom series of games and i would actually gave people a run for their money using him, i knew i had reached that level of bad assery...although i was at the lowest level :P. Besides, the guy is hilarious to play in any game and his antics need to be shared to everybody that's not in the know.

Most often? I've actually been using the Fuse interface fairly regularly. As far as boards go, i mainly stick to the support boards and the less frequented areas of GS. Gotta do my dirty business somewhere private

That was just a temporary theme actually. I started out on the site with my Dan theme and had been that way for...7 years or so? I might give Dan a break for the new year and bring Dib back. We'll see

No, i meant to spell it like that. When i came up with my first email address, someone already had chickenfeet taken...so i just removed the E from chicken and saw that was available. So i just stuck with the name from then on.

Hrm...good question. I suppose i wouldn't mind living in Japan given the chance because they seem to constantly have something crazy technology-wise going on. Plus, i'm sure i would be an oddity over there so that might make me somewhat popular

I'd imagine the person that gets killed would make a gurgling sound as they died...so yes
