Back on schedule I have another interview here for us all. This was one I was wanting to do for some time and I felt he would have a good story to tell. I was right! So everyone please read what went on in my interview with Smokin Shadowz: DD: "Ok where does the name Smokin Shadowz come from?" SS: "Me and my friend were both playing gears sitting in the dark and somebody else was lighting incense in the room and I could see the shadow of the smoke from the tv light, then it just came to me." DD: "I could imagine that now, that's pretty cool haha. Are Gears and Halo part of your favorite game franchises? What are your favorites?" SS: "Gears and Halo are definitely some of my favorites. But my favorite by far would have to be the Elder Scrolls franchise. Everything about the world just pulls me in, every game I've played to the books I've read, they really immerse me into their story. After that it would probably be GTA series...love the open world realism in those game." DD: "Two excellent game series . I love GTA. So Smokin Shadowz you've been here a while and in the forum's new era, not many people know you used to be a member of the Staff here. Could you inform the readers of what position you served while you were here and how you gained that position?" SS: "Well, I was in the news group when it was just a thread section on the page before it was the front page of the site. I got the position by posting articles I found interesting in the some of the forums. By then Archangel Tyrael noticed this and showed me a more proper way of doing such, and said I could get on the news team if I continued, so he was a big help of doing so. Reason's for leaving was I couldn't dedicate a enough time until I came back. But it was well enjoyed." DD: "Saw right through to my next question! We all love to see that kind of good spirit in our past and present Staff members here on the forums . So do you ever think about being back on Staff if given the chance Smokin?" SS: "That I have. I would love to be back on the staff if given the chance, now that I have time to dedicate to it. But if not, I'm just happy being a member of this community and I'll continue to enjoy my time here as well." DD: "Again showing good sport and I love it . So what is it you like to do when you're not on the site enjoying being a member?" SS: "Well other then playing games a lot I usually spend most of my time with friends or out fishing, just being outdoors is nice. But during football season I'm usually watching every single game I can find. Beside that I may read a book or watch a few episodes of whatever series is on tv at the moment that I'm into." DD: "You live very laid back, I think that's very cool. What influenced your custom member title, 'Forum Ninja'?" SS: "Thanks. Good question as well. No real story behind this one. I just wanted a unique identity for the community, so after thinking for a while that's what I came up with. And every time I introduced myself in the shoutbox I always used when I came in so I figured it was a good fit, plus who hasn't wanted to be a ninja at one point in their life time ." DD: "That's very true. I think everyone, guy or girl, wants to be a ninja secretly if ever given the chance . So do you have any goals you'd like to achieve here on the site at some point?" SS: "It would be nice to get a legendary member title over time, or even become a moderator to help the site more. But I'm fine with just being here honestly. Having my very own award to give out with be kinda cool to, maybe give people a reason to be better on the site or have a goal of their own." DD: "Top notch answer Smokin Shadowz, very modest and charismatic . What were your impressions of the site when you first joined? Did you ever think you'd get a Staff job?" SS: "I actually thought I had a chance at becoming a Staff member after the first week of being on here. If I did well enough and took my time and earned it of course. My honest first impression on here was "Sweet! They have chatbox for you to talk on." But the thing that I really noticed about the site was the play dates and how active the members were. I remember my first play date on this site was the first week I had joined!" DD: "And were there any members you really looked up to or still do look up to?" SS: "GSD was probably the member that I looked up to the most, just because he did everything well and usually was quiet and stayed out of trouble. He would play with anybody that would add him. Just seemed like a generally nice person and a good moderator. Always would let me join his games or join mine when I invited him." DD: "I've always been a big fan of GSD , he is a great Moderator with a great sense of humor. So Smokin Shadowz it's been great but we have to conclude our interview. Do you have any words of wisdom for our newer members on the site?" SS: "Been a good interview. And to any newer members just try and enjoy it to the best of your ability and stay within the rules and you should enjoy this community just as much as I have. :ninja:" That's all folks! Thank you Smokin Shadowz for complying, it really was a fun interview and we all got to know a little more about you after reading this. Guys, Smokin Shadowz: get to know him. Fun loving gamer who's also very dedicated to the site. Thank you 343i.org and watch out for the next one!
