Alright then, what’s the most embarrassing game you’ve every played? Perhaps it’s a guilty pleasure?
I knew this question was coming…
So I’m sure you’ve an awesomely rubbish game dredged up from your memories?
I’d have to say Leisure Suit Larry. I’m so ashamed…
I bet you have the whole series, don’t you?
Not any more… Honest!
But you used to?
Might have…
Again, you’re saved by my laziness. We can scoot over to how you first stumbled across TSA if you like?
A guy at work pointed me in the direction of TSA as a great news source. After a few visits I joined the website to comment and then discovered the great community. The meets are excellent, like minded people who are decent and great to play online with. Competitions are fab, with F1, GT5 and so on. Just wonderful.
Well, you’ve basically managed to answer this whole section of questions in one go!
D’oh!
Son of a… Oh wait, here’s one. Are there any regular features that you’ve particularly enjoyed?
I like the WeView feature (I think everyone has said that) and I like the SpikeyMikey gift section… I think everyone else knows that as the ‘Competitions’ section. Pretty much everything the community team do is excellent.
I think it’s been expanded somewhat from just SpikeyMikey to include all persons of Welsh origin.
Thank goodness you aren’t eligible then!
Woe is me! I found another one you didn’t inadvertently answer. Are there any TSAgents that you’d actually, worryingly, be up for meeting in Real Life?
I think pretty much all of them that I’ve played with in meets etc… In fact I’d like to go karting with Spoof, THL, Manor, Ash, Bax, you and Jambo… I want to see who is quick in real life as well as online!
An intriguing proposition…Who do you think would be fastest?
As for quickest I’d have to say Jambo. Unbelievable online. You think you are close to his pace and then he will say “Oh my, I didn’t realise I had Comfort Softs on! LOL!”
Then we could go paint-balling!
He’s such a git with doing that. It’s been years since I went paint-balling.
As for paint-balling we should do that! So long as I can be on a different team to you.
But who would shoot you in the back then?
Good point! I’m a team player.
As I said on Twitter today, I’m all about Lone Wolf–ing it a moment. I just want to shoot stuff, not think about what teammates are doing, blah blah blah.
Yeah I can be like that sometimes. Kaboom!!
Also, then I get to show off more, and feel smug.
Something you aren’t used to…
Not in racing games, maybe. The rest of the time, I’m totally smug. We digress.
Indeed.
Snog, Civil Partnership or Smother Peter, Lewis, and Kris?
Kill Peter as I think I’d be the first to do so!
Actually, GTOWN did that the other week. I’ll get the myth going again soon, though. When everyone’s forgotten.
OK. Kill Kris so someone else gets a chance to do a video interview. Marry Peter after the video clip of him in the bath who could resist! Then kiss Lewis, his Twitter avatar makes him look quite kissable. He was also the one left in the list.
A happy coincidence. Outside of TSA and gaming, what occupies your time?
At the moment decorating. We moved house six months ago and every inch has needed to be gutted and decorated.
Have you fallen into the cliché of painting one another yet?
Ha! No.
That’s disappointing. Paint fights always happen in the films.
I’m a Yorkshireman. Paint is expensive.
What’s the colour scheme? I’m hoping you have an orange and black diagonal stripes room, where you can go for a freak out session.
In this part of the world known as the Hull City AFC room! But again no, as I’m a Leeds fan.
That suggestion was another happy coincidence, actually.
Yeah, I doubt you would have known that!
Leeds are all white, aren’t they? So just white washing everything?
Yup, the Mighty White Gods. I’m not that big a fan, so the colour scheme is a more ‘normal’ Pebble Shore (aka light purple) and Baby White (aka light yellow).
I say ‘aka’, but I mean the colour as a man would know it…
Men have far fewer colours to choose from, compared to women. However, I am curious as to how they got Baby White… Surely if you blend a baby… I think I should stop here.
I refer back to the start of the conversation. I don’t know how your mind works… Thankfully!
Oh, and that brings us perfectly to a natural conclusion. I couldn’t have planned it better. Do you have any final words for those poor souls who’ve read to the end?
Well done.
Thanks to Christony Eden-Yeb for doing this interview, and as usual, I’ll see you next week for another one!

Nice to meet you Tonyyeb!
posem
it’s always good to meet another face behind a name! :D
Tomhlord
He’s right, paint is expensive…
tonyyeb
Damn right! B&Q Colours range isn’t bad and it goes on nicely ;)
Tomhlord
But a real-life TSA Go-Karting Meet….hell ys!
Tomhlord
*e
maneorix
Yes please. Just so I can beat Jambo again, outside of DiRT3, I don’t think I’ll be doing it anytime soon :(
tonycawley
Tonyyeb, aka the fake tony, aka tony 2 aka tony the 2nd. I’m the only real tony in these parts ;-)
tonyyeb
I admit it, I’m not really a Tony… I’m just an imposter. But imitation is the best form of flattery ;)

So it’s Sunday morning, the grandkids are running rings around me. I get 5 mins to have a sit down, browse through some news, sport & TSA. Oh look, Meet the Reader this week is tonyyeb, could be good. Hold on a minute, turns out I’m being used as some sort of benchmark for age. Well I hope you feel better about being so old but thankfully not as old as me :P
Was still a good read though I suppose.
tonyyeb
Sorry you became the butt of a joke Rob… But I was thinking of you when we did the interview… I asked Teffers to make the text in a nice large font for you ;)

Good read, nice to meet you chris. A real life TSA go-karting meet would be great although i’d get battered as i’ve never done it before. I’d vote paintballing personally because i’m pretty damn good at that :)
tonyyeb
It would be great to do either or both! But at 13/14 stone I’m already at a disadvantage for karting… and at 6′ I stand out a bit in paintballing! Oh look at me making excuses already ;)
maneorix
Oh the fun of lapping you :D
G_The_Enemy14
Best one yet! My mum’s from hull so I kinda support them :D
gaffers101
Only 31 still a youngster!! Nice to find out a bit about buddy.
tonyyeb
Thanks but listening to some of the TSAgents chatting on Twitter about getting Uni and A-Level assignments in on time etc… Makes me nearly twice some of their age! Plenty of gaming left in this old boy!

I do enjoy reading these articles. No idea why, as I’ll instantly forget most things I read, and I’m never going to meet the people in question anyway. Still, good article this.
