And the good times keep on rolling…join me again in another Unscripted 360 Showcase.

It’s the K to the Y to the D yall…

Everyone usually starts off with a little about themselves outside of gaming…so go for it.

Well, I’m 15 years old, and I live in the Northwestern suburbs of Chicago. While I’m not gaming, I usually am playing Tennis (I’m on varsity for my school, GO HAWKS!), playing baseball, working out or am on the Xbox forums, which are very addicting to go on. I also am trying to skateboard, but am failing horribly. I started gaming with the SEGA Genesis, and have bought all gaming systems from there. I’m pretty competitive when it comes to gaming, and sometimes it gets so competitive in some of my Halo 2 matches, the fists start to fly.

Busy guy.  Any cool history behind your Gamertag?

Not really. My Gamertag is a three part word. The Kyd stands for my clan that never came to be, the “Kill You Dramatically” clan. Crowley is my last name, NOT a town in Texas, as so many of my messages insist. The 77 is just because I think the number 7 is lucky, which makes me doubly lucky.

How long has it been since you ‘Jumped In’ with the Xbox 360?

I ‘Jumped In’ with the Xbox 360 on December 24th. You see, I preordered it in about mid August, but GameStop told me I was not to get my Xbox 360 until March of 2006, which made me very sad and angry because I knew I was going to get some Xbox 360 games for Christmas. But on the 24th, right when I’m about to leave for my Aunt’s house, GameStop told me that my 360 had arrived, which made that Christmas one of the best ones yet.

How has the next-generation w/Xbox 360 been so far in your opinion?

It’s been great in my opinion. I think the great games, great new features, HD gaming and Xbox Live has made the Xbox 360 my favorite console yet. I love being able to game with other people anytime I want to. I just can’t wait for some of the upcoming titles for the 360, mainly Halo 3 and Resident Evil 5.

Describe your gaming center and what you’re getting your game on with?

Well, my gaming center is pretty pathetic. Being 15 doesn’t really allow for a great income, if any, so I have to game on my 20” Sylvania TV, or my 19” Dell Ultrasharp monitor. If you want to give me donations for a 32” Plasma, I won’t say no!

Which title is getting the most game time from you?

Well, Dead Rising was and would be still, if it hadn’t made my console screwy. My 360 has to be sent to Microsoft right after I played Dead Rising. But I think DR is VERY fun, and I just love killing zombies over and over again. And I really love hitting killer clowns on the head once or twice.

Never hurts to hit clowns.  Which title are you looking forward to playing the most?

Probably Resident Evil 5. After playing Resident Evil 4 on the Gamecube, and wishing it was on the Xbox, hearing RE5 is going to be on the 360 was music to my ears. I love survival games, and I also love the zombies. Wait…..will it have zombies? IT BETTER!

Which feature is the best one going for the Xbox 360?

Xbox Live, of course. I had Playstation 2, and although I loved it, it’s online sucked. Then, when I got the Xbox and went online, I was like WOOOOOOW. I loved all the 8 v. 8 Halo 2 matches and the 16 v. 16 Perfect Dark Zero Matches. The Xbox Live Arcade is also great. I didn’t buy into it at first, but after trying some games like UNO and Geometry Wars, I was a believer. I thought Geometry wars was a math game…..ughhh. But it wasn’t.

News is hot right now concerning the Xbox Live Vision Camera.  What’s your take on it and are you getting it?

Well, the Xbox Live Vision Camera seems like a good idea. I like the fact that you can see who you are talking to, but I also am iffy about seeing who I’m playing with. I don’t want to plug in my camera and see some nasty fat guy in nothing but a pair of tighty whities. EW. I guess I will buy it, because I want to see what it is all about and get in on all the strip UN…O…..I mean Rainbow: Vegas face recognizers and the such.

Any other peripheral you’re set on getting for the Xbox 360?

Probably the Xbox Wireless Headset and more controllers. I’m also looking into the Madcatz steering wheel, which I’ve never had. I may try it out.

How do you feel about the idea of temporary downloads…the idea of ‘consumables’?

I like the idea of consumables, as long as it doesn’t get out of hand. If, like in an RPG, I may need more money but don’t feel like fighting hundreds of battles to get the money, I like the idea of being able to purchase game money with real money. I just don’t hope Halo 3 charges you to buy bullets, that would suck.

Is there something you’d change or add to the Xbox 360 feature list to make it better?

Not much. I hear people wanting a clan blade, which I guess would be cool, if you were in a clan. I also hear people wanting a browser, but I feel that is unnecessary, because it would only take up space on our HDDs, and if you have Xbox Live, you should have a computer, so just take a couple steps to your computer. All I have to say is Microsoft, keep churning out the great Arcade titles, and keep up the great work!

If the Xbox 360 were to release another version with HDMI and HD-DVD integrated, would you purchase it?

I would, when I get the HDTV that I’m trying to get. I believe I asked you for donations a little bit ago? I don’t feel HDMI is absolutely necessary, but it would be a great add-on.

Any new features to your Gamercard you’d like to see?

Custom Gamerpics? I like the idea that the XBL vision camera can give you your custom picture (Or can it? Am I wrong?), but I also want to be able to do it from my computer, like a paint picture. Kind of like on Unscripted360. Maybe also the feature to delete games from your games played. I don’t really have a problem with it, but it seems many people do, and decide to complain on the forums about it.

Ok. One game. One shot. You against John Madden. Who wins and what game are you playing?

I guess we would be playing Gears of War, because Madden has the hook-ups. And he wins, cause he is John Madden, and I’m not.

Last words?

What, are you going to kill me? Oh, you mean parting words. Well, thanks to everyone who took the time to read this, thanks to Unscripted360 for doing this interview, and I hope I kill you soon……in a game. Not real life. Sorry Jack Thompson.
