Where are you from? (timezone)
I live about an hour north of Kansas City, Missouri (Central Time Zone).
Do you have any friends who are Members? If so, who?
Hopefully I'll become buds with a bunch of you all! Haha. As of now, though, I don't. I've spoken with a few of you all and you guys seem pretty chill so I'm sure as time progresses we'll be friends. I do have a buddy that's thinking about applying though (DannyHeads) so best of luck to him I guess haha.
Character Name(s)
The handle that I usually using Cyber as a prefix then I just do whatever after it. More often than not it'll have something to do with either the race or class that that character is, but my first character is usually Cyberwalrus. Character's named Cyberwalrus (or walross if the walrus variant is taken) are usually my mains. So it could be Cybertank, Cyberwarrior, Cyberesper, etc.
What games do you wish to play with the alttabme community?
Not Civ 5! Haha. It kind of bores me unfortunately. I'll really play anything as long as it's not mind-numbingly boring! Recently I've been playing a lot of Minecraft, Source Games (Garry's Mod, No More Room In Hell, L4D, etc), The Darkness 2, and a few others. I'm pretty open when it comes to genre though and I've been watching a few Smite videos and I might try getting into that a bit. It looks pretty fun. But yeah, if you guys ask me if I wanna play something chances are I'll say sure!
Class/Race(if applicable)
Assuming you're talking about WildStar, I think once I get in my main will be a Granok Warrior. It might change if they announce another tanking class that interests me more than Warrior does. Shouldn't be hard to have more interest in another class since Warrior is pretty common but we'll see. As for alts, I was also really interested in Espers (I like the mesmer from GW2 and they seem really similar). I'm thinkin' maybe an Aurin Esper (if I can make the character not look super cutesy that is).
What role do you wish to play in the guild? For example: PvP, PvE, Casual/Social
Honestly I'm up for trying any of those roles out! I'm pretty experienced in the PvE scene since that's what I usually end up doing most of the time. I tend to end up in a tanking role because that's what I'm most familiar with haha. I have no problems with a dps role though! As far as healing is concerned.. you might just not want me to be a healer. I'm not a very good one haha. PvP really hasn't ever caught my interest until WvWvW in Guild Wars 2. Of course that died off fairly quickly so my interest was short-lived. Hopefully the Warplots in WildStar, which also caught my interest, will be a bit better. I'm really interested in seeing how those will work and learning the ropes of PvP in WildStar! As for the Casual/Social aspect, I've always been a social gamer. I love talking to everyone and it's a lot easier to explain things such as mechanics in a voice chat rather than typing everything out. Also I'll probably be rolling the Settler path, which is a very Social path, on my main so I'll probably end up meeting a lot of people anyways! So yeah, I'm up for pretty much anything.
Which previous MMO's or online games have you played and how long for?
I've played World of Warcraft for about.. 2 years or so (collectively). I started playing in early Wrath of the Lich King and enjoyed it despite being a huge noob to the mmo scene. I stopped playing WoW right after Cataclysm came out mostly for school, but I was getting pretty bored with it. When Mists of Pandaria rolled around I took a bit of interest (mostly because I'm drawn more to lighthearted, humorous games rather than the dark and gritty scene) and started playing it again a month or so after MoP came out. I'm still kind of playing it off and on, but my interest has just died out. Here's to hoping WildStar can fill in the gap? Haha.
I played the absolute hell out of the first Guild Wars. To this day it is one of my favourite MMOs. I'd say I played GW collectively for.. five or six years maybe? I stopped playing GW1 about a year prior to GW2 coming out. Ain't nothin' like a Spirit Spammer am I right? When Guild Wars 2 came out, I was definitely on the hype train for it. I was actually a bit too hyped for it and when it finally came out, I was overcome with the whole "omg best game ever" thing for about.. two or three weeks. I rolled an Asuran Engie and played a whole lot at the beginning, getting to 80 in about.. a week - maybe a week and a half, I'm not sure. When I got to the end there was really nothing to do once I lost interest in WvWvW so I stopped playing it.
I have a bit of interest in the MOBA scene. I'm not a hardcore MOBA player but I dabble you know? Haha. I think my favourite MOBA was Guardians of Middle Earth (on X-Box Live Arcade). I'm a bit of a LOTR fanatic so of course if you put the name on a video game I'll probably but it. LoL, DOTA 2, and Demigod all caught my interest for a little while, but collectively I've probably played those for.. a month? So yeah, not so much. I recently picked up Smite so I'm just trying that out now. I'll tell y'all how I like it.
Were you a part of a guild? What was your experience?
I've been a part of a few guilds, yeah, but nothing too majorly awesome. One of my more recent World of Warcraft guilds, which I won't name, kind of ruined the experience for me. They said they were progression so I gave them a few months but we were doing a raid one time and the GM (who wasn't really GM, he was just in charge because the actual GM wasn't hardly ever on) was advertising for his own Poker game in the middle of the raid. A few minutes later, we hear him say "What why am I dead?" and that was just kind of the last straw haha. Most of the other guilds I've been a part of were pleasant though - not a lot of hardcore raiding or anything.
How did you hear about the AltTabMe?
I'm sure you get this answer a lot, but I heard about it from the AltTabMe podcasts on Youtube haha. When you guys uploaded that long recruitment video I came over to the website to see what was going on over here. So far I like it!
What will you bring to the ALTTABME community? (Chatty? Skilled? Funny? Helping?)
I will bring Walrus joy to the ALTTABME Community (whatever Walrus joy is. Some sort of candy bar maybe?) No but I'll try to bring all four of those things to the Community! I'm generally a very social person and I enjoy helping people progress further in games. Now the Skilled part could have multiple answers. Am I skilled at balance? No. Not at all. I'm pretty skilled at tanking though so you can count on me to be a glorified punching bag! It depends on what you're wanting me to do really, but overall I'm pretty decent at video games.
How much time do you spend a week on games?
Way too much haha. I have no job (despite applying everywhere) and online school starting September so I'm usually on my PC! My room-mate gets onto me a lot for how much internet I use.
Is there anything else you would like to throw in here at the end?
A little bit of this, a little bit of that. Okay sorry. Not really! I look forward to hangin' out with you guys a bit more and maybe I can get into a Smite night here soon. I should probably play it a bit more to practice a bit so you all don't completely wreck me (only a little).
Have you finished all of the prerequisite requirements?
Yes (I read and replied to the rules, I understand I must be active on the forums to stay on the roster, and I have a minimum of 1-2 posts(other than this application), and I made sure those posts weren't just bullshit)
