For the first ever Community Joe interview we interview JPeloquin218 who shares his love for forging, friends, and men. Totally in the good friendship way though, sicko.
[b]Q: So, first off. Who are you and what do you do?[/b]
A: I'm Josh, better known as [url=http://www.bungie.net/Account/Profile.aspx?uid=6887266]JPeloquin218[/url] around these parts. I'm 16 years old and I'm currently in Highschool. I'm really involved in Custom Content and if I say so so my self, a pretty knowledgeable and talented forger. I also Administrate one of the largest Custom Content Communities [url=http://www.bungie.net/fanclub/293407/Group/GroupHome.aspx]Forever Forgers.[/url] As you can probably tell, I am really involved in Custom Content, but i am also as involved in the Bungie Community as well.
[b]Q: Sounds like you're really into making things. So, what's the story behind that username of your's?[/b]
A: My username...meh. Not something I'm proud of really. Just parts of my name put together. But the numbers "218" were something that have always been involved with me in some way.
[b]Q: Oh, how mysterious. What does a mysterious guy like you aside from roam Bnet?[/b]
A: Being someone who is really interested in Custom Content, I visit sites related to Content such as [url=http://www.forgehub.com/]forgehub.com[/url]. I also check out Halocharts.com to visit a private group there called [url=http://halocharts.com/grouplist.php?id=4984]Satyros.[/url]
I don't go off site too much because I have a lot of private groups to also give some attention to.
[b]Q: Sounds like you keep yourself busy! What part of gaming do you like then?[/b]
A; The fact that I'm good at most of them of course! Lol, seriously though, it is just a nice way to relax from what goes on in life. It keeps be busy and entertained!
[b]Q: Who do you win with when you go online?[/b]
A: Many kinds of people. Good friends from the Bungie Community that I have come to known and love, and some forgers from all around the Bungie/Halo Community. I have a wide variety of friends.
[b]Q: Speaking of Bungie, what was the first Bungie game you picked up and how'd you get into it?[/b]
A: The first title I played was Halo 2. Back in '05, I was a 10 year old kind going to my cousin's house. He said he got a new game called "Halo 2". I wanted to play because I heard good things about it. The first thing we played was a 1v1 Custom Game on Lockout. That game introduced me to a whole new meaning of gaming. Halo 2 was a revelation to me. I was amazed by how addicting this game was. Before I knew it, 5 hours had gone by and I went home. I would constantly go over my Cousins house to play Halo 2 with him. And in 2007 when Halo 3 came out, I saved up my money to buy and Xbox 360 along with Halo 3. Ever since then, I have been a loyal Halo fan.
[b]Q: Nice, I suppose that's what brought you to Bnet. How do you feel about being active on the site?[/b]
A: It's kind of hard to get away from this site. I always have a tab pulled up on my laptop. I have gotten to involved with stuff that it has become a major part of my life.
[b]Q: And finally, shout-outs. Who would you like to share some love to?[/b]
Of course, to some good friends Sworn Shadow, Elementwrath, Tom T, Godly_Perfection, Homeboyd903, HALO3syourdaddy, Insane54, superduper66, Xx Overkill VR, burritosenior, Paulie Walnuttz, and everyone else on my Friends list. Sorry I cannot list you all.
Also a shout-out to all the members in [url=http://www.bungie.net/fanclub/293407/Group/GroupHome.aspx]Forever Forgers.[/url] You guys rock!

Glad to see someone is making a solid attempt to get these interviews back! :)

Did you get this approved? Things like these probably should be ok'd by a moderator or employee.

Nice job man. I missed seeing these. If Urk isn't going to do them, it's nice to see that someone is willing to take the initiative to do it themselves. Looking forward to more, keep up the good work.

I'm not saying I'm against the idea or anything, but it's good to make sure it's ok.

I would just post and if it is "wrong", it will be locked. No big deal. Will this be locked, I HIGHLY doubt it. But is it discussion worthy, not really.
-
do me do me do me somebody interview me
-
I've tried to get a hold of staff on at least 2 occasions and I've tried to ask members of the moderation team. I got no reply from staff but the mod who did reply to me said that he thinks a thread like this [i]should[/i] be ok.
-
I like it good job hopefully bungie will bring it back.
-
I shall now and forever refer to Godly Perfection as "Goldy", lol. :)
-
Finally! Someone has brought these back! I really wish Urk would start these up again, it would be nice of him.
-
I knew he was a good choice!
-
I really do appreciate the interview. It seems like the first small steps towards the complete comeback of the Average Joes.
-
Woo! This is awesome. If we can't have Average Joe's, I guess we're going to have to do it ourselves.
-
This makes me sad that the real average joes aren't back :(
-
What a great idea. Nice!

I <3 JP. Sorry I haven't been accepting your invites, but each time you've invited me I've been playing BUNGLE with people. XD

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] spartain ken 15 But is it discussion worthy, not really. [/quote]BAHAHAHAHA! A please discuss and thank you would have been perfect there, Ken. :( And cool. I never knew you guys were going to post this on the main forums.
-
Great interview, good read.
-
"If you want it done propperly, you have to do it yourself" - nicely done.
-
Great interview. Nice to see JP getting some recognition. He's been my friend for awhile now. :D
-
Hopefully we can keep these going!

Loved the interview, glad to see this starting again.
