Player Spotlight: Troy Bowers

It's time for this week's player spotlight. This time it's Troy's turn to share his secrets!

Name: Troy Bowers
Gamertag: TheWalkingMeh
Birth date: 2/16/1984
Likes: Reading, friends, videogames, movies…life in general.
Dislikes: People… Most people really just irritate me..
Favorite Food: Chicken…
Favorite Fighting Game: MvC2 (on the dreamcast)
Favorite Fighting Game Character: Sagat, I like the characters story. He has more honor than most of the other fighters.
Location: The Lair….yeah I have a lair…deal with it

When did you start gaming? A long time ago, in a place far far away..honestly..that is past yesterday…so I don’t remember. I have been gaming ever since I could hold a controller in my hands.

When did you start playing fighting games? Now that I honestly have NO idea.

What was your greatest memory involving fighting games? Everything recently honestly, I have great friends who get together and hang out for the sake of just hanging out. Yeah we trash talk but it is all in good fun. I honestly couldn’t ask for much more

If you could develop a company vs. company game (such as Marvel vs. Capcom) what would they be and what would the game play like? Marvel vs DC, and from what I am seeing it should play like MvC3. I want to just see straight up battles between the Marvel and DC characters

If you could start living in any fictional universe (video game, literature, whatever) what would it be and why? There is a book that came out recently called Kraken. The world fascinated me from the end of the world threats, to cults who worshiped a Kraken. Then there was the people who worshiped anything that preserved life. The citymancers are what fascinated me the most, they used the cities stones, buildings and lights to use their magic. They could see into the inner workings of the city and from there they could locate and do practically anything. From working star trek phasers to fire that burnt time, the book had everything in it.

Thank you for your time Troy!

Who do you feel is your biggest threat? Myself.

If you could make a movie game out of any movie, what movie would it be and what would the game be like? Harry Potter. It would be an MMORPG, with missions being like classes, and the story independent of Harry and the gang’s. Of course that would be happening, but they would be the NPCs driving the main plot. The houses would be like races or guilds. I could see this being very fun.

What fighting game special move do you wish you could do in real life? Teleport, even if it’s only a few feet away. I’m lazy.

When did you start gaming? I started gaming when I was 6 years old and my Dad bought a NES for my sisters and I. He tried to hide it, but accidentally left the game he rented for himself on the dining room table. It wasn’t his finest moment.

When did you start playing fighting games? I played my first fighting game when I was about 9. It was an old arcade cabinet at a Food Lion with Street Fighter on it. 2. I chose Ken solely on the fact he had blonde hair. I lost on the second match.

What was your greatest memory involving fighting games? My favorite moment was the first time I ripped someone’s spin out in Mortal Kombat. That was a good day…

If you could play a fighting game match with anyone on earth who would it be? Also, if you could get in a fist fight with anyone on earth who would it be? If I could have a match with anyone on Earth it would be attorney Jack Thompson on Super Street Fighter 4. I honestly think I could make him cry. If I could fight anyone on Earth, well it would be Jack Thompson. I suppose that would prove him right though.
