Now, time to feature the latest Pinoy gamer, Jovy Soriano. Jovy’s a fresh grad who’s really into MMORPGs and is also active in my Facebook page.

INTERVIEW

How long have you played your current MMORPG? 8 months

What type of work do you do? I’m just a fresh graduate so I plan to rest and play LOL!
How long is your typical gaming session when playing your current MMORPG? When I’m busy I usually play for about 5 to 6 hours, and when I’m not, I can play for about 12 to 19 hours, seriously.
What does a typical day consist of for you? Wake up, have breakfast, play a computer or console game depends on what I’m currently addicted to, have lunch, play again, have dinner, play again. And sleep!
What was the race and profession of your very first character? Elf Templar
What is your highest character level in your current MMORPG? 98
What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most? If there’s new blockbuster MMO, obviously I’ll play, be addicted to it, grind and level up as fast as I can, meet new friends etc. But if none, then I’ll play tons of PC and console games.
What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other then playing your current MMORPG or video games? Drawing and watch TV
What do you like the most about the profession you have chosen for your main character? She is PK oriented character, reflect and dispel skills are imba!
How did you choose your main character’s name? BlackRose came from .hack//Link anime and .hack//Games a PS2 game. She is the main female protagonist of “The World” an imaginary online game.
What do you like best about Current MMORPG? I meet new friends and new enemies, PK and PVP
What do you get out of playing games? To tell the truth, I’m a dreamy person. I play video games because it makes feels like I’m closer to different places beyond my imagination, it makes me feel that I’m strong, I’m tough and I’m always right which in real life I’m not! xD
Tell us of a significant “gaming or MMORPG blooper” (funniest moment) that you were directly involved in? Rohan PH Event, killing GM Krieger or something. I shouted “Where are you Krieger, show up!”, then suddenly an announcement pops up “BlackRose be ready, I’ll put you down! –GM Krieger” or something like that. Me and my guild mates are laughing really hard, telling me that I’m doom and I’ll be ban. Then the event started, they gave the coordinates, and I was the first one who spotted him. I thought he was easy since I was a templar and I have a healer with me, but I’m wrong!  I died instantly, and then the event moderator shouted “BlackRose is DOWN!” he shouted it many times, and another announcement pops up “I told you! –GM Krieger”. I have a print screen of it but I lost it. ?
What’s the most unforgettable thing that happened to you as a gamer? I cried because I finished one of my favorite game which I find it weird but funny when I realize it really happens.
Do you run or work for a gaming Forum or Fan Site? I’m just new to blogging and currently updating it everyday (www.gamercitadel.blogspot.com). My blog is about games, games, games. But surely, If I’ll be a given a chance to managed a forum or a fan site that would earn me money, why not?
Your message to your fellow gamers? Did you know that playing video games and MMO’s makes your brain sharper? But always remember that there’s always something more important than playing video games. LONG LIVE GAMERS!
