Each week we at the Buzz interview two random players of Bootleggers. How random? Well, we go to the Users Online, close our eyes and we have a few clicks. Awesome, we know. So, here are the two interviews of this week! Enjoy!
Muertos
Hello Muertos! Could you introduce yourself to the Bootleggers Community?! Hello I am Peter from the Netherlands, and I am 23 years young. Been playing on and off for a long time.
Peter Pan reporting for duty, sir! Peter, do you work/study? I have studied as a ICT programming, got my diploma but I don't do anything with it! I hate it! Atm my job is working in a fabric inspecting tires for the car. Its 7 days work and 5 days off and I like it allot of free time.
Why do you hate it?! I worked in a PC-shop and its just not my thing. I more of a person working with my hands. I love to help my friends out with pc problems. But not all day long.
Looking for a new study now or enjoy working? Yes and no, I want to study again but I don't now what yet. Working in a fabric its not that nice but it pays very well. I am saving some money to visit Italy, to meet my family and maybe to find a job. I'm learning Italian in my free time.
Hmm, it's definitely not an easy decision. Anyway, your hobbies?! Making allot of party's hanging out with friends! Playing on my ps3 COD games. That's it so far.
Awesome! Bootleggers time. Current state of the game?! I am enjoying bootleggers more with the "small updates". I think the game is improving now thanks to Sky and the idea's from the other mods. Still I am waiting for the big crew update, but I am losing my faith with it. As BSF comes online to check only his cash income from the points. If people still playing this game you will always see me around from time to time.
How would you change the crew feature? Thats a good one... That you can make teams with your crew mates, and protect each other like "bodyguards". And that If someone get shot down, you can search him within a half hour must be someone from the team. There are so many idea's I can tell you but ill leave it to BSF haha.
Haha awesome. What is your favourite feature? OC and casino's !
Interesting! Most useless feature? Gym, it was a pain in the arse to build it up. But with the small update that the requirement have been halved its better now.
Alright. Random questions, okies?! If you had the ability to become an insect, what insect would you pick and why?! Haha ok, I would like to be an ant... I would have many friends lol and I could lift 7 times my body haha.
Ants are awesome. Favourite car? Lamborghini, if I ever win the lottery this will be my first buy !
Tasteeeee. One Direction or Backstreet Boys? Backstreet boys! Never heard of one direction?
God bless your soul. Most retarded person on Bootleggers? I will keep it original; BSF2000.
Rofl! Chocolate peanuts or pine apples? Choco peanuts!
Excellent choice. Alright Muertos, what's behind your name?! I was in a crew and we got wiped, and Muertos means in English day of the dead. It was a bloody day!
Awesome.... Not that you got killed and stuff. Uhhh, anything you'd like to add?! Everyone that has read this... Keep on crimes and enjoy the game, and lets all hope to see some good updates in the next few months ! We players make this game fun and playable don't forget that ! And ShyGuy thanks for choosing me! You are a good help desk operator will see you at the helpdesk.
Son
Oh hai there Son (sounds weird). Could you please introduce yourself to the Bootleggers Community?! Well, I'm Stephan, a 22-year old living in the rainy days of the Netherlands. Been back some months ago this round in Bootleggers, after a few years of absence. In daily life I'm in the last year of college, studying multimedia design.
Multimedia design?! Multimedia Design. From websites to interactive installations. From (museum) expositions to outdoor marketing things. Whatever the customer wants, and the user needs.
Why do you like it so much? Mostly because of the development of nothing into something, something unique, modern, innovative, attractive. Also because it's quiete diverse, I working with a photo or film and the next week sketching or finally finding, after some long brainstorming, that perfect match, the 'perfect' idea. Visuals. Visuals shape our world. We base most of our truth by seeing. Pity the blind.
Interesting. As you stated it's a diverse study. Which part do you like the most? Well I like the creating/designing part the most, the projects Im in involved in mostly exist out of several phases, in short that would be: Make a (de)briefing, do research, interview people, state the needs of the people the project is targeted at, start coming up with ideas, develop some ideas, choose the best, develop that one further, design it, code it, print it or whatever is relevant. And test of course.
What would you change if Bootleggers was your project? Hmmmm.. well I would say the main thing would be to focus on keeping the people active, so to start off it is a good thing to look at the actions that are taken in this game, which is short actions of a couple of seconds (doing crime, gta) every couple of minutes, perhaps actions that will endure longer and acquire some kind of skill and luck will increase the satisfaction received after doing such action. In compariSON, almost every xbox game gives you something to do or to look at every second. Of course this is another genre, though that should not restrain the game to develop/evolve in any way. For example, and this is not THE functionality that will change things much, and I don't say it should be put in this game but it's a small example of what is possible, I know of a same sort of online mafia text-based roleplaying game that uses a mini-game comparable to 'War on Terrorism' to train your gun, by shooting targets that pop up - with your mouse (taking some skill and concentration) - in a shooting range.
Hmm interesting! That brings us to the current state of the game. What's your opinion of it? Well, it's obvious that it is getting quieter, what is there to say about it, I have no statistics at every round though there get's a moment where everything is said and done, it's like there is not much to compete with anymore and no small update will change that.
What kind of update does Bootleggers need? I don't know, a swimming pool perhaps, something to fight/compete for.
Swimming pool it is, awesome! Most useless feature on Bootleggers? The ability to buy 25 lottery tickets with 10 points.
Fair enough. Random questions incoming! Chuck Norris, your opinion. Nice guy.
Justin Bieber? He is like, the best, I mean I is like the Chuck Norris of all music genres. He beats everyone. I mean, Elvis? Who's that, I don't know that guy, he never had as much followers on Twitter as Justin Bieber, that proofs that Justin Bieber is the greatest.
So true lad. Best movie ever? That's hard man. I'll list some: Into the Wild, Forrest Gump, Intouchables, Léon. And for the players of Bootleggers I suggest Mesrine part 1 (killer instinct) and 2 (public enemy #1) and of course Gangster Squad. And of course Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, for all the drug lovers.
Legit. Favourite drink? I still have to figger that one out in my life, as I’m still looking for that drink that never gets boring, and tastes good wherever I am and no matter what time of the day.
Seems legit. Alrighty, Son. What's behind your name?! Well, I previously was Gohan, I look around a bit after being killed, I probably saw something like "Gohan is the son of Goku", I saw Son, Son, Jesus, We all are god's children, I am the son of God, that would make Jesus my brother, though he a dead man, Son, three letters, short and powerful, a funny name in some situations, though most of all, pretty random.
Fair enough! Two awesome interviews this week! A huge thanks to SneakBiteV6 and Skanks4TheBust for the interviews! I hope you liked it, till next week!
