  1. Let start with your clan name? >XI< Frags Do you have any nicknames? Personal or in game? Oh I am sure I do, I just don't know what they are! When and where were you born? 9-11-58 Pensacola Florida When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? A Pilot Where have you lived? Florida, Texas, California, Maryland, Berlin, Hong Kong, Pennsylvania and Oklahoma. What got you into gaming? My father in law was a Sr. Electrical engineer that worked on the space shuttle. He built a computer, the first one I ever saw. It took up his whole living room. It had a teletype and we programed it to play a 3D game printed on paper, Star Trek, it was like Battleship, only 3D. When you told the computer that you fired and hit the enter button it took like 20 seconds before the printer would print out the results of your shot. We killed many trees playing that game. Your first game you played? The first store bought computer game was on a VIC 20, who knows what the game we loaded in that thing. And what do you play now? COD4 and COD5 Why did you join XI? I was part of the original Breakfast club with Johnny Dos and he got me in the clan. At one point COD5 was all but dead and I made admin. The game survived but for a time I was not too sure it would. What do you get from being in this clan? Well, gaming with my friends! What is your favorite hobby? Flying my airplane, a Cessna 170a What is your favorite travel destination? Loved Austria, but here in the USA the Florida panhandle beaches. Are you married? Widowed, lost my wife Feb 2019 Do you have children? 5, 3 of my own and two step kids What kind of pets do you have, if any? What are their names? One dog, Jazz an old black lab. She keeps me company. Are you a sports fan? If so, what is your favorite team? Nope, hate sports ball of all types. What causes are you passionate about? I have a somewhat rare blood type, not the type but antibodies I don't have that kill will kill infants, I give a lot of blood. Gallons and gallons so far. Do you volunteer? If so, where? What is an interesting fact about you? I lived in Berlin in the early 70's, when I wanted to skip school I would ride the S bahn to East Germany, go through customs and hide in East Berlin all day. I figured nobody would find me there. As a result I hate all things communist! It might not have been too smart of a thing to do! lol Have you continued your education past college or university with career development seminars or classes? What kind? I did not go to college, I have a technical license. I am an aircraft mechanic. Retired now, but am hoping to get my Inspection authorization which will allow me to sign off major type work on aircraft. Did you know what profession you wanted to work in when you started college? Aircraft mechanic Did you belong to any professional organizations? What is your current job title? Retired bum! Did you win any awards or recognitions during your education? Where do you work? I don't What other job titles have you had in your career? Where else have you worked? I worked for American Airlines for 35 years, retired in 2020 Why did you choose to work in your industry? Love aircraft Why do you like your job? How would you describe your career? What are some accomplishments you've achieved during your career? I didn't kill myself. Describe a time that your career was rewarding. I loved working on aircraft, hated the airlines. The most rewarding day is the day I retired. If you could give a younger person career advice, what would it be? Don't be a mechanic, be a pilot! What is your favorite thing about your career or industry? Airplanes! What is a valuable lesson you learned in your career? Doesn't matter how much you care at the airlines they will beat you down. What do you hope to accomplish in your career? Are you involved in any professional/ non-profit/sports organizations? If so, do you have a title or rank within these organizations? What is your favorite sport? Do you play any sports? If you were granted 1 wish, what would you wish for? I could go back in time, I would have not gotten married so young and would have gone in the military. If you won a very large amount of money what would you do? Buy a faster airplane of course! Then buy a new house for all XI members! -------------------------------

  6. PainKiller>XI<ADM COD2 Do you have any nicknames? Personal or in game? PainKiller, Pain, Pain in my ass, Pain in the ass. PK. When and where were you born? South East England, 1994 babyyyy! When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? I think it was a pilot, or work in the Royal Navy. Never did, so instead I pretend I do in video games Where have you lived? My hometown, then Farnham in Surry, and now Canterbury in Kent What got you into gaming? Just something I started off really early as a kid, and its been something I have loved ever since! Your first game you played? I really can't remember but I have a lot of memories of Rayman on the PS1 and Command and Conquer on the PC. I have played so many I can't remember. And what do you play now? I play a LOT of things, I don't think I can put them all here but here are my top 5 that I play now: War Thunder CoD 2 7 Days to Die Project Zomboid ARMA 3 Why did you join XI? My dad used to be an Admin in CoD2 way back when I was a teenager. I was the first JR member - you can double check if you'd like but when he left, I had to go with as I was only a JR but when I hit 18 or so, I came back, told folks in CoD2 who I was, and the rest is history. I am now a well established member of the clan, and an admin for CoD2 - something I never thought I would get! What do you get from being in this clan? A wonderful group of idiots in CoD2 I call my extended family. I have known them for about 14 years, and I have a lot of fond memories of all of them. Loader has been someone close to me for a very long time, and helped me grow into who I am now in the clan. What is your favorite hobby? Gaming, duh! My Steam account keeps growing, but I also have GOG and Origin games on top of that!! I have recently gotten into Warhammer: Age of Sigmar, Warhammer 40k, and Magic the Gathering. Keeping me busy, and my bank account empty. What is your favorite travel destination? Bed, as I have never been abroad in my life, but I hope to change that one. What kind of pets do you have, if any? What are their names? I don't own pets, but through my life I have had cats, fish, a snake, a lizard and an owl. Currently, my parents have two dogs, who I love to pieces and wouldn't trade them for anything. What is an interesting fact about you? Have you continued your education past college or university with career development seminars or classes? What kind? I studied at Canterbury Christ Church University in Kent, doing Digital Media. Before that I did some months doing a Games Design course but left that because mental health. Did you know what profession you wanted to work in when you started college? Video games! But sadly, that has fallen to the wayside - but in the interim I am now in IT.

    Memorial Day

    Remember the reason. As Americans, we owe every last one our lost warriors our undying respect. I took this video clip while photographing a dear friends father's interment at Arlington National Cemetery. LTC Mike Clune, a decorated veteran. It was an amazing event to capture for the family. Respect. https://digitaledgephotography.zenfolio.com/ltc-james-michael-clune/e1005e675
