What is your forum name & gamertag or PSN ID or Wii #?
NuclearCujo(Forum name and Xbox tag), Wii# 5598 4919 3077 1143
What is your real name and what kind of work do you do?
My name is Fred and I presently work for Verizon as an Outside Plant Technician. I basically splice fiber/copper cable in aerial and underground environments. I am also in the process of getting my license to set off fireworks for concerts and events. You can make some serious cash for big events.
Where do you call home?
Hanover Pennsylvania is the town I am in. York County
Wife and kids? I have been married for 9 years to my high school sweetheart Laura. We have two awesome kids, Freddy (3) and Annabelle (2). We also have 2 pups Cheyenne (12) and Max (1).
What got you into gaming?
I have always been interested in gaming. I first started playing on an old Bally system. Bet most of you never heard of it. I've owned most systems throughout my youth from Atari all the way up to my 360. I can honestly say however, if it were not for Live and the friends I have made on it, I would not care nearly as much.
Where did you come up with your gamertag/PSN ID?
I wanted the name Cujo for my tag in honor of my favorite pup. Since someone beat me to it, Live offered NuclearCujo as an alternative. RIP Cujo and Sheba!!! You two monsters are surely missed!!!
How many hours a week are you gaming online?
Not enough, but more than I should.I'd say 10 hours, maybe 15 sometimes. Depends on the workload and the weather.
What are some of your other interests?
Most of my interests revolve around my two rugrats. When not playing Mr. Mom, I enjoy Geocaching, target shooting with my handguns, paintballing, camping and drinking! Yes, that is a sport! I also own tickets to the B-more Ravens and enjoy taking my boy to Hershey Bears' hockey games. I love hiking and visiting Historical sites. I visited Eastern State Penn last year and knew it was going to be in Transformers 2 before it released.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
I don't really see much happening in 5 years. I hope to be closing in on 20 years with VZ. I really hoping I can move the family to a more private and rural area. I hate community life! Give me 10 acres of woods and you'll never see me again!
Where was your last or next vacation?
Since the kids, The wife and I haven't done much traveling outside of beach trips or camping. I am hoping to take wifey to Italy and Ireland for our anniversary next year.
What brought you to PGL?
I am one of the OGs around here. I was aboard the doomed SS OTSG that ran into a personality iceberg. After the wreckage cleared, I signed up here as member #7
What do you like most about PGL?
I enjoy the friendliness and fun that this place has provided over the years. I have made real friends and have spent many Friday nights rocking out with some really good people. Still, my all time favorite memory is the Saints Row Dance Party. Stuff like that, makes this place shine!
If you could change one thing about PGL, what would it be?
Although growth is great, I really miss when this place was smaller. Everyone knew everyone and stuff like FNFF was managed much more efficiently. It seems now, with so many members, its actually harder to coordinate things like that. Also, wars and tourneys wouldn't take 6 months to complete!
How many hours a week are you gaming online?
Between the kiddies and work, my gaming time has been almost nonexistent. I maybe get 4 to 5 hours a week and that is almost all done in 1 to 2 evenings.
Why do you game?
I use gaming as a stress reliever and a way to let my mind unwind from the everyday grind. Nothing like killing Nazi Zombies or 200mph car wrecks into a friend to make your day brighter! Its also nice to just chat and shoot the bull with online friends.
When do you normally game?
I can usually be found online Friday and Saturday nights after the kiddies go to bed.(10pm or so) Weekdays are hit or miss unless you message me and we plan something.
Do you game with family/local friends?
I used to game with my brother til he let his membership lapse. As for local buddies, maybe 2 or 3. Mostly I game with those Communist heathen Mormons from Utah! You know who you are!
What's your current favorite game
Currently it would have to be COD4. I have tons of other games but I constantly find myself playing that one over and over.
What's your favorite game of all time? I still love Rainbow 6 and Black Arrow. Although graphically crap to what's out there now, I have so many memories playing those titles. Many of my oldest buddies are from them.
Do you like SP or MP more? Multiplayer most definitely. I find it much more enjoyable playing in a group as. Now, as for multiplayer modes, give me Co-op over versus any day.
Which upcoming game are you looking forward to the most?
Modern Warfare 2 would top my list. I am so burned out with WW2 and with the pleasure I got from COD4, I have very high expectations for it!
How far have you traveled to meet gamers you play with online?
About 900 miles so far. I traveled from PA to a small town in Iowa to hang out with some buddies. I had an absolute blast. I got to witness first hand a state civil war. Iowa/Iowa State football game was same weekend and talk about some pissed off hillbillies. I did experience Everclear Pure Grain for the first time and woke up with a separated shoulder! GOOD TIMES! I really hope to make it to a PAX so I can hangout with my West Coast homies!
Favorite sports team?
For Football it would be the Ravens and 49ers. Baseball: The Orioles and everyone else but the Stankeeys or Red Sox. Hockey: Avalanche and the Hershey Bears.
Favorite band?
The Old Metallica. The Black Album still makes me drive like an @$$hole when it comes on.
Favorite movie?
I have way to many favorites to limit to just one, but if you have played in a game with me, you know my ability to quote FMJ, Ladies Man, Super Troopers or Jay and Silent Bob.
Do you have an xbox live nemesis?
The general public is my nemesis. Between people with internet balls and the Sesame Street gangbangers, I have no love for the GP. Thank GOD for Party chat. Now for rivalries, I always try to one up Bronxbomber or Causedawg whenever I get the chance. Snake kicks my ass from time to time also.

Then the fun part... I KNEW he'd be coming for me at that point, and I knew he's totally a sneaky bastard and wasn't gonna just drive up in a vehicle, so the next 10 minutes was that sheer bliss of gaming tension when you KNOW you're about to get it in the back, you just don't know what direction it's coming from.
