It’s very much a digital home for so many of us. I’ve got to ask you something delightfully awkward now. It’s time to pucker up as we need to know who you’ll snog, have a civil partnership with and who to smother from Colossalblue, Lewis Gaston and Halbpro.
Can’t I just kill all of them?
Snog would have to be Lewis. Sorry Lewis!
What’re you saying sorry for? It was just a kiss…
I’m going to kill him so nobody ever finds out.
Nope we’re not allowing you to kiss and smother him. Lets do that one next, though. Who are you going to smother?
Halbpro. Just for his twitter account. I’m sorry, but oh my god, so many tweets! I think he tweets more than I play games.
I’ve spoken to him a few times and he’s lovely to talk to, but that twitter account does get some hammering from him. So sorry Kris, you’ve been smothered, matey. Which leaves Colossalblue with some long term love in a civil partnership.
Well, it’s just so I can get some free games off him! See, I’ve thought this one through!
Very clever, because this quarter is going to be very expensive, so why not settle down with Colossalblue and just play every game he gets sent by publishers. It’s not like he’s got time to play them, you’d actually be doing him a favour!
I’ll just play them for him.
You’re actually doing him a favour. I think after this interview we should follow this up and get you two sorted out.
That’d be quite funny.
Yeah, just the slight problem of him having a wife, but…
We can deal with that and I’ll be the third wheel.
I’ve just got visions of the three of you tucked up in bed. Have you, talking of very weird things, played any really nasty, horrible games? I know you love your trophies, but any clunkers in your collection?
I don’t really play for trophies that much. I just play them if I enjoy them, and if I enjoy them I’ll get the trophies along the way. I haven’t bought Hannah Montana or Terminator: Salvation, or anything like that.
You don’t feel like you’ve sold your soul to the devil for trophies just yet?
No, not yet.
Well fair enough, considering how much you play video games, there could easily have been the opportunity to say “Yeah, I’ll play any old crap.” It’s good to see you’ve got a bit of backbone.
A few of my friends are like that in real life. I know someone that bought Terminator: Salvation just to get the Platinum. I played it a little bit, and it’s just remarkably average.
So just something that’s instantly forgettable. Oh, I tell you what’s come to mind, and it’s something I asked in the forums recently, that is what it was that got you to join TSA?
It was a random match of Uncharted 2 with Teflon. It was completely random, and we both had our headsets on. I used to play on my own a lot as I’d only had my PS3 for about four months. There was a lot of banter going on “Ah, I’m going to do better than you.” or “I’m going to get more kills than you.” It just went from there, we added each other, and played a lot of Uncharted 2 for several months.
Then after about a month of looking, I joined TSA. Everyone I’ve met on TSA can thank Teflon, or chastise him, however you see me.
[drop]I’ll have a stiff word with him later! That’s really lovely, though, as it shows the sort of people that TSA has attracted.
Yeah, and I kind of won that match against him.
You just had to get that one in, didn’t you?
Yes! I had to. He never forgave me for it. It was funny.
Quietly competitive, and not so quiet sometimes.
Yeah, I can be quite loud sometimes.
Alright then, Jon. That’s a lot for coming on, and I shall see you back on Left 4 Dead very soon.
Oh no!
Oh yeah! Don’t be like that you’re on my side.
I know, I’m on your side quite a lot recently. I won the last two games… We won the last two games.
Thank you Mr. Team Player. That’s nice to recognise that you have three other members on your team. Even if they are 300 miles behind you, because you’ve run off.
Hey, there’s no ‘team’ in ‘I’. Loose cannon!
You are a live hand grenade, Jon, absolutely. Alright then, that’s lovely, thanks very much.
No problem!
Thanks for listening, guys. See you.
Bye guys!
For the record, I’m really sorry for telling Yogdog about TSA. Also, I’m not sure of the results of our first few matches of UC2 against one another. I guess it just wasn’t that memorable? I’ll be back next week with another interview, so will see you then!
Sympozium Pawa
Nice to meet you Yogdog!
gideon1451
Hehe, good interview! I didn’t think I was older than Yogdog, mind, t’is only a month’s difference.
Moakesice
Nice read Yogdog, the TSA king of Bad Company!
gideon1451
Haha, yes, that is true!
The Lone Steven
Nice to meet you again Yogdog. I rember playing BF:BC2 with you once. I think we were the only people who worked as a team.
I’m disappointed that there are no poo jokes. :p
What is your all time favorite retro console?
yogdog
I don’t really do retro consoles much, I played on the PS1 a little but that’s about it for me, I was always a PC guy which has only changed recently, when I got a 250gb PS3 slim in my bedroom. It also helped that my PC broke around the same time I got it.
Poo jokes are gone now, as I don’t work there anymore :P
The Lone Steven
Oh, then would you kindly follow me on twitter? ;)
I think Kevin Butler may have broken in and broke your PC when you got your slim. :p
yogdog
Nice to meet you all too guys :)
Also, Tef. How bloody old is that photo of Uncharted 2?! Bastard! I still won the first Uncharted treasure bearer competition on here though ;)
teflon
The one where I quit after the 4th round to avoid a 30 minute argument and let the competition continue?
We all know who would’ve really won that… :P
yogdog
Hahaha! You’re never gonna let that go, are you? :P
teflon
Would you? Of course not ;)
yogdog
True, true…. :)
goodgoa
Defending treasure bearer champ over here :P
yogdog
Hey, Goa, not for long! :D
Jakster123x
I really like this feature. Nice interview, good doggy ;)
TSBonyman
An entertaining read as always guys, nice to meet you yogdog and that’s a cool Tshirt.
YOURMUMANDME
Jon, you’re a legend, far too good at games mind…..
If your birthday is on Skyrims release date does that make you Dovahkiin ?
yogdog
That blue thing behind me in the photo, btw, is a blow up dolphin, which I rode down some pretty big stairs… I’d drunk a fair amount of tequila mixed with vodka and anything alcoholic in the vicinity.
My head was fine the next day, but the day after that? Not so good, didn’t know hangovers could skip a day!
BIGAL-1992
You had a hangover that was delayed by a day? How can that happen? Also, nice to meet you too yogdog.
TSBonyman
Aha, i thought your eyes looked a bit glazed. I think your hangover was delayed because you were probably still drunk the next day ;)
yogdog
Good point, I probably was. I certiantly had a headache for a long time afterwards…
bunimomike
That was great fun, Jon. We even managed to keep the chat to a respectable length so teflon didn’t hang himself from the joy of transcribing our ramblings.
As it happens, I just wanted to say a huge thank you to tef. Adding the option of a vocal interview is great but it can take teflon around two hours to transcribe the damned thing into word form. Truly, fella, thank you for scribbling down the voice interviews.
