THAT'S RIGHT!! CIRCLE-JERK!!!

[FatShady Live]

Hey guys (sorry to bring this back on topic!)

FatShady here but also known as Brad. Day 1 player and gold every day since. My goal is not to be the best, but to simply say I played every single day... Doubt it will happen, but so far so good! Also im a bit of a Redlynx Fanboy! Played Trials HD since 2009 and just love that game. Made top 100 global and that was one of my major goals, along with Plat on midnight club! (see my sig).

Like Arse, I am a fellow Australian living in one of the outer suburbs of Sydney. I am 30 and have a wife and a 3yo son.

Here is a video of my son playing the game in the first week.. I plan on capturing another video of him playing the last track when he is 5!!

I live about 1.5 hours from my office so most of the time playing Heroz is on the train on my commute to and from work. I work for an Insurance company in their IT section, but as an anlyst rather than a developer. My background has always been insurance. I also have an MBA that I got last year.

I used to play football (the real stuff ... American football !!!) in Australia and played for about 7 years as a linebacker. I even made a state team and in 2000, toured through Texas and California playing some college and highschool teams as we were a young team. Busted my knee in my comeback season in 2007 and have since stopped.

My interests are mainly gaming related, as I have all consoles and devices and try to play everything. Sitting on my desk at home is:

RAGE
Forza4
BF3
MW3
Skyrim
Batman AC
Deus Ex

and I just finished Uncharted 3 and Gears 3.

I really spend all of my spare time on two sites, this forum and Kotaku Australia. When not gaming I like to think and talk about gaming!!!

Also, as a trip down memory lane, here is a review I wrote about Heroz:

Lastly, my other claim to fame is with the Trials HD riddle, if you didnt read about it, check this out. I was even interviewed for Aussie TV about this:

You can watch me talking about it here. Really interesting feature I think!

Oh, more lastly than the first lastly, search for my songs on youtube under 'FatShady1'. I had a short career as a musical parody artist... Had about 8 songs played on Sydney radio about 5-10 years ago.

Look forward to talking to you all. Most of the old school groupd know me already but may not have known all of this, but also a hi to the new players. I am not a regular poster simply because of time... but ocasionally I'll have a good day and be higher up on the leaderboard. I normally average around 100-200 ranking each day... anything higher than that and you have to either be seriously lucky or seriously dedicated to the top scores... which i am neither. I managed to grab 1 first place before Rook really started playing and im happy with that one.

EDIT: man i talk a lot about myself.. gotta also say I LOVE hip hop and have for about 20 years. Currently into Jedi Mind tricks, Reef the lost cauze, Apathy, Immortal Technique etc etc. JMT are in Australia and I'm seeing them next week! Immortal is here in Jan 2012 so im seeing him too!!!!

Really great bio Fat Shady. i wish mine was even half that good.

[rlmergeuser]

Good stuff Shady. I remember seeing that GG spot... funny to think that you were in it.

[Nytmair]

Nice Shady!
Wish I could see you around here more often since you and I were at the beginning of this game, having a rivalry starting on the very 1st day haha

[rlmergeuser]

That was an enjoyble read indeed! Also enlightened me about the whole TrialsHD riddle thing which I didn't really know about. Makes it even harder for me that I never played it. Anyone wanna gift me an Xbox?

Hey Guys

a bit late on this thread, as i was with the game, but i love it. My name is Damian, Alvy Ronson has been my stagename since the mid 90's, I've been a musical collaborator with US comic and author of sniglets, Rich Hall, but mostly I write music for TV and these days.
I live in London and work freelance so somedays I get to play heroz a lot, and some very little. Never been a big gamer but always have love the little games, like hungry horace, tetris, minesweeper, boulderdash, gorf, defender, blood money, snake, tank trouble, dizzy bee and play a lot of fb scrabble.

[Nytmair]

Alvy, you are now my hero since you have played alongside Flight of the Conchords haha.
Awesome!

thanks Nyt, I spent a lot of time doing the comedy scene.had some fun times touring and met some great people, some of whom have gone on to fame and fortune, and a fair few who didn't.

I'm pretty amazed at how diverse the players are! I was naively expecting everyone to be quite a bit younger and less professional

I'm iChogginNogg on 1000heroz. I can be found in the Trials and the League Mondiale custom leagues.

My real name is Matt. I live in Birmingham, UK for uni but I'm originally from Manchester. I'm currently doing a Masters in Science and Engineering of Materials.

I like all sorts of music. At the moment I'm mainly listening to a variety of electronically produced music. One of my favourite producers is called Draper. Here is one of his songs. I'm expecting a few of you to dislike this a lot.

I'm very into tattoos and have a full sleeve on my right arm, a part done sleeve on my left arm and a funny tattoo on my leg (will take a picture if requested).

I can't think of anything else to say.

This is me: (on the right)
