Mike here, I’m 27 and from Vice Ci…errr…Miami, FL.
I love movies, comics, and sports, but my first love will always be games.
My first entry into the Xbox ecosystem was with the 360. I was saving up to get a PS3, but one day my best friend at the time invited me over his house and showed me a game that instantly made me want a 360 instead. That game was Gears of War. So all my saved money went toward buying the system, which was bundled with Madden 07, as well as Gears and the rest is history.
Now I’m lucky enough to own all consoles as well as a gaming PC, but I definitely skew more toward Xbox when it comes down to it.
Hi everyone, I’m Vinnie, closer to 40 than 30 from the UK. Long time friend of Siks, we met via the old bungie.net group Halo2 UK and he was the first of us to be mad enough to open his house for LAN parties! I was also present for the Two-Tone Takeaway order he mentioned on a recent podcast.
Gaming wise I started on an Amstrad CPC464 (green screen and tape deck!), dabbled with all the different consoles before playing Halo CE at university in the early 2000’s. It blew my mind and I’ve had an Xbox ever since. I got pretty deep into making Halo videos, montages and forge map previews (for Sik before he could edit!) back in the day and I’m looking forward to getting back to that with Halo Infinite.
Great job on the forum to the Xbox Era team. It’s great to see a wide cross section of ages, locations and backgrounds already in this thread, looking forward to getting to know you all better! My gamertag is the same as my username, Vinnie13.
I’m Tobias, 21 y/o from Germany. I noticed xboxera around the usual E3 time this year on Twitter. I’m playing most of the time with the one x and besides that with the PS4. I also thinking about to switch to PC next year. First game that I ever played was Midtown Madness 3 on the OG Xbox. Was a fantastic experience back in the days. Right now I’m playing F1 2020, mostly My Team. So, nice to meet you all and let’s have a great time here.
Hi there I’m 21 from Papua New guinea ( the island about Australia). I’m relatively new to the whole gaming thing since i got my first legit console an Xbox 360 during my mid teens. i don’t game as often as i like since gaming is a very expensive hobby here, but when i do play rpgs and stealth games.
I really love the new mode. Today I finished the British GP in S1, I’m playing on 75-77 right now. Higher difficulty is to hard for me. Which engine did you pick for the start? I’m using Honda right now.
I’m 33, a father and a husband, and I’ve been gaming for close to 30 years.
I’m not a console fanboy in any way shape or form, although Xbox is generally my platform of choice, due to their long list of pro-consumer moves over the past 5-6 years (Game Pass, Enhanced BC, xCloud, Crossplay, Xbox Play Anywhere, bringing games like Ori and Minecraft to all platforms, forward/backward compatibility with Xbox One & Series X, etc… etc…). Sony is nailing it right now with their 1st party efforts though, and there’s no way I could pass up their extensive library of amazing AAA exclusives.
I’m definitely a gaming enthusiast and consider it to be my main hobby. I’ve got a 65" LG C9 OLED, and will be buying both the PS5 and XSX at launch.
Looking forward to getting comfy here and getting to know ya’ll a bit better! I’m also on Resetera, and I enjoy and will continue to frequent those forums, but there’s a clear pro-Playstation/anti-Xbox bias there so it’s nice to come here for some more balanced Xbox discussion.
I can’t handle Vietnam too. France is also a track which isn’t fun to drive. But Zandvoort is really nice, this was the first track where I drove a 100% race.
Well, I’m from Brazil. 41 years old, I’m a moderator for a Xbox Community in portuguese, PXB .
I’ve played Atari 2600, Master System, Mega Drive and then PC for a loooong time.
In 2007 I was back to console, attracted by a little special thing called Mass Effect. Don’t have time to more consoles, and Microsoft seems to offer a very good use for my money.
I still play on PC, so I think I’m hooked with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for a long time.
I am from Belgium. (Dutch speaking part) 31 and I do like games. I am enjoying gamepass with pleasure and love games like Yakuza , dead cells , slay the Spire, mega man, souls series and much much more. I started with a NES in my youth and have all systems. I once had the biggest games collection in Belgium (10 years ago)
Have a wife, no kids and a cool job with plenty of free hours in a day so i can enjoy plenty of media. Love travelling to many different countries but this year was a bust because you know.
My gamertag is DuoRox have around 190.000 GS and do hope to achieve 200.000 before series x.
I al looking forward to positively talk games with you guys.
I was a young kid reading an old magazine called Games Master from the UK and seen a piece about Microsoft making a new console and it being called the Xbox. Now I can’t remember exactly what it was, or why I was so instantly sold, but there was something there that made my imagination run wild. I hounded my Mum with every small piece of new information that I learned about from my very limited pool of knowledge and found out that a new magazine was to be released called OXM. I tried to learn all I could about it and found that they had a special edition first issue coming very soon. Included with it was all the console, games and launch info and also a bunch of special items like posters, a placemat etc… all in this special issue.
Anyway, after talking my Mums ear off about it for weeks, I came home from school one day and to my hearts near failure, there it was. The OXM special first issue sat at the dinner table waiting for me. My mum comes in all smiles and watches as I open it up. As I slide the contents out, smiling ear to ear, I notice a receipt fall to the ground. I pick it up and glance really quickly at it, see it’s from EB Games and don’t think much of it. My mum tells me to read it, so I do, and right there in black and white is “Xbox Console Pre-Order”! Well launch day comes and we go get my console and a small game called Halo with an extra controller. My friend comes round at lunch time and we didn’t stop playing all day and night. That’s me been hooked on Xbox since that amazing surprise.
Hello, I’ve been gaming for majority of my life. I usually own all consoles every gen, but Xbox platform has been my main platform. The reason I gravitate towards xbox because library I have built up, controller, xbox live, and my favourite franchise is Halo. I’m very interested in Xbox’s future because gamepass because it helped me saved a lot of money and made me impulse buy less and save money. Also with the many studios they’ve built up makes me excited.
Hi everyone. I love that there is a new xbox centric forum where xbox fans can talk about the platform in peace. Sites like N4G, Neogaf and resetera have become cesspools for Sony fanatics as any topic regarding Xbox will result in hate and downvotes because of silly and selfish reasons.
As a former Lifelong Playstation fan myself, I switch my gaming preferences to the Xbox ecosystem because the PS fan base is so toxic and intolerable. I love Xbox now more than ever.
Hi everyone! I’ve been gaming since a kid and owned all kinds of platforms. But Xbox is my favourite since the OG one. So much fond memories & I love all kinds of games. For me, Gamepass is a killer service and hope MS will continue to strive to make it a better place for all the people who love gaming…
Hello everyone! I’m a 24 year old in Georgia. I’m big into comics and video games. Im trying to write a novel. I mainly play on Playstation but recently I have been pulling my Xbox out again for Game Pass. Currently, I plan on getting both consoles. Obsidian has my heart. I desperately need Avowed and Halo. I look forward to talking with you all about the future!

Hello everyone! I’m 30 years old and I’m from the Philippines. I’m a doctor and technically i’m licensed to practice in the UK as well. However due to Covid, i’m still stuck here in the Philippines.
I’ve been gaming since I was a kid, and my first console was actually the PS1. Bought the PS2 as well. However fell in love with Xbox the first time i played Halo at my friend’s place. Decided to save up for an Xbox as well. I then realized that I enjoyed Xbox games more than the games on PS2, which is why i switched to Xbox as my main platform. Been gaming on Xbox platforms ever since, although I do own a Switch as well.
In terms of game genres, my favorite genres are WRPGs and Shooters. I also love playing sports games like FIFA and 2K.
I’m looking forward to the discourse on this forum. Cheers!
