Hold your applause, and don’t forget to breathe. She’s not the first one we’ve had here, but she’s another “rare specimen” – we have a Girl Gamer for the 33rd iteration of Better Know a Gamer. I’ll let her tell you who she is…


Nu: What’s your Gamertag, and what’s the story behind it?
My Gamertag is Jessibaby1986, one of my nicknames is Jessi baby, and 1986 is the year I was born

Nu: Where are you from, how old are you, and what do you do (school, job, family, hobbies)?
I’m from South East Pennsylvania, I work at a local grocery store, paint custom faceplates in my spare time, and collect vintage gaming systems.

Nu: I own a VirtualBoy – is that vintage, yet? Or still just crap? How long have you been gaming in general?
I’ve been gaming since the age of 3 started with the Atari and NES, and from there it was love :P

Nu: How long have you been a 360 owner?
I’ve had the 360 for 5 years now…only been connected to Live for 3 years though.

Nu: The 360 hasn’t officially had it’s 4th birthday… time travel!? Somone check her gamercard tenure number! What was one of your favorite Xbox / Xbox Live moments?
Hmm…well that is a tough one to answer…there have been so many. Though if I have to pick one it’d be getting to know people that I’d have never gotten to know other wise.

Nu: Which Xbox 360 Achievement are you most proud of?
That would have to be my “All 4 Dead” on Left 4 Dead got that 11/2/2009 but it was just so awesome to get it :D

Nu: Are you currently working toward any achievements?
I’m currently working toward one that has been avoiding me for the past 3.5 years… Guildmaster, Thieves Guild. I should have had it but for a corrupted game file… I missed it. So it’s now my goal to get it by the new year.

Nu: Yikes, goodluck on that! Some Oblivion achievements just seem better left alone, to me! What game(s) are you playing the most now?
Halo 3 ODST, Left 4 Dead, and Oblivion. Those are my current top 3.

Nu: What’s playing now (what music do you listen to when away from your Xbox or when listening to music ON your Xbox)?
I’ve actually been building a playlist of music recommended to me by friends…its got a little bit of everything.

Nu: Do you try to stick with one Gamerpic, or change it frequently?
Everytime I change my avatar I change my Gamerpic

Nu: What is your current favorite Xbox related website to visit?
I guess it would be www.DeltaChronicles.com they are a pretty good Halo 3 machinma!

Nu: What upcoming game are you looking most forward to?
Most definitely Left 4 Dead 2… I know its in a few weeks only… but I can’t wait to use the AK47!

Nu: Do you have an all time favorite game, for any console or the PC?
I guess it would be a toss up between The Legend Of Zelda series and the Halo series.

Nu: Excellent choices. People give a lot of flak about the Halo series, but they really have stepped up some story telling aspects of video games! Do you have any gaming buddies you frequently play with / want to make almost as famous as you?
The one I’d like to mention here would be MASSACRE001 he’s the one behind Delta Chronicles, a really cool guy!

Nu: Any parting words for the droves of readers?
Live, Laugh, Love, Game!

Nu: Words to live by… and laugh by… and… you get the idea. – Well, many thanks go to today’s guest, Jessibaby1986.


As always, you can nominate yourself or someone you know to be featured in Better Know a Gamer.

Better Know a Gamer: #31: Fujiwarano http://winbreak.com/2009/07/27/better-know-a-gamer-31-fujiwarano/ http://winbreak.com/2009/07/27/better-know-a-gamer-31-fujiwarano/#comments Mon, 27 Jul 2009 14:39:30 +0000 NuAngel http://winbreak.com/2009/07/27/better-know-a-gamer-31-fujiwarano/


Moving on down the line, it’s the latest issue of Better Know a Gamer! Nominating themselves and their friends, people have continued to fill the inbox with requests to be featured on the long running Better Know a Gamer!


Nu: What’s your Gamertag, and what’s the story behind it?
My Gamertag is Fujiwarano. It does not have any real story behind it. I picked it up from a anime series called “Hikaru No Go” if you like anime, you really should check it out!

Nu: How old are you & where are you from?
I’m 20 years old and I’m from the Netherlands.

Nu: How long have you been gaming in general?
Not 100% sure about that. I remembered playing Duck Hunt on the old NES, (yes I played that one as well, CALZ88)!
But I think I have been gaming for over 15 years.

Nu: And here’s hoping for at least 15 more! How long have you been a 360 owner?
Since launch day.

Nu: Which Xbox 360 Achievement are you most proud of?
Getting out of the sewers in the Elders scrolls IV Oblivion.

Nu: Understandable! What game(s) are you playing the most now?
Battlefield 1943, Fable 2, and some Arcade games.

Nu: What’s playing now (what music do you listen to when away from your Xbox or when listening to music ON your Xbox)?
I dont listen to music that often. But I really like “X Japan”and “GoldFinger.” And I almost never listen to my own music in game…

Nu: A true fan of game music Do you try to stick with one Gamerpic, or change it frequently?
Nah, never really change it. Unless I’m really bored.

Nu: What is your current favorite Xbox related website to visit?
Gamespot.com, IGN.com, xbox.com, Majornelson.com. And a bunch of other gaming websites not related to Xbox.

Nu: What game are you looking most forward to in 2009/2010?
Mafia 2 / Alan Wake / Halo ODST and Reach…

Nu: I’m a little sad because I’m expecting Alan Wake to suffer the same fate as Clive Barker’s Jericho and Alone in the Dark. A lot of hype, but the launch might just fail. Wait and see, I guess. Do you have an all time favorite game, for any console or the PC?
There are many great games out there. It is really hard to just name one game. I like Chrono Trigger very much for the Super nintendo Entertainment system. And Secret of Mana.

Nu: Do you have any gaming buddies you frequently play with / want to make almost as famous as you?
I don’t have any game buddys to be honest. Not in real life and not on the internet.
Would you like to add me? Please send me a message of who you are please! I do not accept random friend request invites.

Nu: Any parting words for the droves of readers?
Yes I do :-)
Help out War Child!. Dontate so you can help those childeren to make life fun again, and make them smile:) http://www.warchild.org.
