MPGH News (2/8/13)

Mischief: Hey there Doc, how are you doing today?
Doc: I'm doing pretty bloody good.

Mischief: Ahaha, that's bloody nice to hear! So how did you stumble upon MPGH?
Doc: Hmm, it would've been back when I was in year 10 I played a shit load of Combat Arms, and was in a clan called D.O.O.M We were probably one of the best Oceanic clan's at the time, but eventually too many other clans started using hacks. So I got of this, left the clan and downloaded some hacks from The Gay Squad. Eventually that got patched so I downloaded some chams from MPGH which were shitloads better. Then I started visiting the forums and became like a hack support guru. This was way before Minion and Public Hack Support, and I became well known. Ever since then I've never been able to rid myself from MPGH.

Mischief: HELLLL YEEEEEEEEE, combat arms definitely brings all the hackers to a better community. I am actually glad you followed their roots and came along to MPGH. You for sure helped many people back then, even before I came along and that always helps. Many people can never be able to leave MPGH, they will always have have this urge of wanting to come back. When you joined back in year 10, what were your thoughts and impression when you joined MPGH for the first time?
Doc: Well I was quite overwhelmed at first. I joined when the CA section was really thriving and probably at it's peak. There were hundreds and hundreds of new posts everyday. But I just posted consistently and always brought up good discussion, and it wasn't too long before I became popular even with the mods! I was there even before Liz came and when Obama had just become moderator.

Mischief: Dayuummmm, you're an old one AHAHAHA, oldie. You must have come a long way though, hope you will definitely still stay for another long while! Do you think you still remember what your first thread/post was?
Doc: I can't quite remember my first thread. Might have been some nooby question. But my first post would've been a thank you to Dave for such an amazing hack, and my second post was having a go at someone for flaming haha I was acting like a senior even when I first joined :P
ACTUALLY, my first thread was me having a rage. http://www.mpgh.net/forum/72-flaming...playxpert.html I guess even I started out like a dumbass.

Mischief: LOOL, I still remember back then when I never knew about MPGH but seen some amazing hacks on CA. Too bad I didn't make the choice to join MPGH back then. AHAHAHAHA at least you posted it in the right section I guess, not like some other people these days that just post random crap in any section they like. Now tell us about some of your positions you have gotten on MPGH.
Doc: Well the first position I got was in the Graphics Team funnily enough. That was around June-July of 2009. I then became a Mod for the GFX Section in September the same year. I managed to hold that position for around 1 and a bit years, in which I resigned to focus on my studies. I regretted this decision because I was next inline to become a GMod. After a few months I became Minion for the GFX Section which I held from 2010 until December of 2012, with a very short break in the middle. So I've pretty much been staff on MGPH longer than anyone else apart from Liz, Arun and Dave.

Mischief: Well, sometimes studies are actually important too but you had a really big award coming up after all those years. Only if you pursued that road, you would have made a really good GMod for sure! At least you have achieved something really cool to remember, being a staff longer than anyone else other than Liz, Arun and Dave. During any of those times back then, do you find or ever feel that there was someone in particular that might have been an inspiration or a role model to you?
Doc: Definitely Obama/Jussofresh1/Josh. That guy was the first Mod I talked to and even requested a signature from me when I was just starting to make them. Might not of been much but as a 15 year old at the time it did seem pretty cool to have a Mod rep your signature. Other than that, it's not so much inspiration as much as cool people that I liked to hang out with like Czar and Toxin in the Crossfire chat, or playing Bad Company 2 all day everyday with iverson954360/Ravi, Dave, Paroxysm and Alen.

Mischief: Hella dopee, many people can turn out to be some amazing friends when you start knowing them. Tell us a bit more about yourself, maybe some hobbies and outside life when you're not on MPGH, what you like to do and such.
Doc: Well I'm 19. I work full time at a film studio called Animal Logic (the people who created Happy Feet and The Matrix), I'm also currently working at AL Fuel (did special FX for Prometheus and almost all the Marvel movies). My hobbies include fixing and building computers and fucking around with Japanese imports. Right now I don't have much time but eventually I'd love to build a street/track car based off the FT86 chassis, but first I have to buy the car :P Most weekends are spent with the girlfriend but I always make time for a bit of MPGH and Reddit. Right now I'm playing a lot of Tera, which I really like and I recommend anyone who's into MMO's to check it out. Other than that, if you wanna know more about me shoot me a PM

Mischief: One word, incredible. You live a cool life, working with many things you enjoy.I have seen all of those movies and definitely and movie that provides really good quality effects and yet there you are working full time for them. I mean what could you ever ask for more of. If I had the chance I would obviously want to help and learn more about the special effects and how it all works. Good luck to you as with the buying the car first part goes. While we are still on the topic, what was your favourite task working at Animal Logic?
Doc: Well I work in the IT department so I'm not very hands on with the actual work, but I guess without the IT department there will be no movie. My favourite task is definitely managing the render farm and watching all the various shots go through. Other than that it's pretty relaxing work at times and throughout the day we initiate Nerf wars with all the artists :P Gets really intense at times .

Mischief: Wow, such a good work environment. Even though you guys work hard you can still make it fun times and relaxing and still get quality stuff done. I wish I could do that too, maybe you should get them to hire me? LOL jk. Besides that do you have any favourite quotes or words to live by?
Doc: Haha, I'll put in a good word for yah. I don't live by many quotes but one that has stuck with me is “Ignorance, the root and the stem of every evil" as said by Plato. I like to believe that knowledge is mans greatest feat and ignorance is what stems from a persons fear of knowledge.

Mischief: DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP, lol that's deep. Thanks AHAHAH, I sure hope you will. Unfortunately this will sum up and bring us an end to this interview now, would you like to give a shout out to anyone or say anything else?
Doc: I'd like to give a shout out to all those guys that keep the cocksuckers in check, and to @Hannibal, @Ethereal, @Lehsyrus, @iverson954360 and anyone else that gives shit to people that make General a bad place.

Mischief: Hehe, thank you very much for your time!
Doc: It was a pleasure

[MPGH]Shane: Hi iverson. How are you? Can I interview you for our next edition of MPGH news?
[MPGH]iverson954360: What's up lil' niggis? Sounds good to me, ask away.

[MPGH]Shane: When and how did you end up on MPGH?
[MPGH]iverson954360: Found out about MPGH the first week it went back up in December of 2005, coincidentally it went up the same day as my birthday. I came to MPGH because people were spamming warrock lobbies with links saying you could find hacks on MPGH, so I decided to give it a go after dealing with hackers in the games I had played up until that point. I found a tutorial on how to use WPE Pro to edit packets to exploit the game. Finally decided to join on Jan 3rd of 2006.

[MPGH]Shane: Wow, long time ago. I remember you telling me WarRock being very popular back then, do you think the game is still popular like the way it was before?
[MPGH]iverson954360: The game is not even close to as popular, probably doesn't even get much traffic these days. When it came out though it was one of the most graphically advanced and few F2P FPS games out, it was wildly popular back in the day, Warrock is what generated most of MPGH's traffic during is first year or two back.

[MPGH]Shane: Hopefully, it will get popular soon enough, do you stil WarRock, or have you moved onto something new?
[MPGH]iverson954360: Don't kid yourself fool. Warrock was 7 years ago, wtf you think? I don't even play games anymore getting too old for that shit and I don't have the time anymore to invest leveling up and shit. The only game I periodically still play on the PC is Battlefield 3 but thats only if I have the opportunity to play with other people like Dave or Gab.

[MPGH]Shane: Nigga please, if you don't play anything anymore, what are some of your favorite hobbies? Stuff you like to do out of MPGH.
[MPGH]iverson954360: I like messing with car audio, you may have seen a few videos here and there. I currently run approximately 1000 watts R.M.S. to a 15" Rockford Fosgate t2 first gen subwoofer. I also like working out, just general body workout shit. Most of the time during the week is spent doing school shit but the weekends are spent smoking with the homies or chillin' with my GF. Hey kids, dont forget to have a social life, otherwise you'll just be spending all day inside being a loser not gaining any social skills.

[MPGH]Shane: Interesting, good to know that you're productive. Most kids stay inside all day eating cake,like Dave. ^_^ Since you're Special User on MPGH, you must have gotten GMOD. Can you tell us your staff experience?
[MPGH]iverson954360: I actually am a first generation super user. Four of us were chosen out of the general members to be super users, before the whole GMOD requirement. Along with me members Kyojiro, I Eat Trees, and Beerhunter were chosen as the first super users on the site for being active members. I got super user in April of 2006, I got GMOD later that year in September I believe. I don't really remember how long I had gmod, might have been a year or a bit longer, me and ace were the second generation of GMODs on MPGH, when I resigned I nominated Jetamay to take over and he was subsequently selected as the next GMOD.

[MPGH]Shane: Oh lawdy, you made MPGH history. Sometimes I wish MPGH today would be like before. The days in the past were fun. You told me, you haven't been on msn, but on skype. Why'd you move onto skype?
[MPGH]iverson954360: Skype makes it easier to talk to people when gaming, thats pretty much purely why I used skype in the past. Now days I start up calls when I'm bored and shit. I haven't been on MSN because just of all the random nonsense I see in MPGH1 and on MSN in general day in and day out. I decided I didn't really care for it, and MPGH1 started to get filled with too many little kids. As I get older it makes no sense for me to be talking to a bunch of teenagers on MSN. All I've been reading there recently has just been stupid shit. I keep contact with people I feel like keeping contact with.

[MPGH]Shane: I also use Skype for gaming as well, I play LoL with my cousin, MPGH1 getting boring because mostly it's just dead silent when Dave isn't there. What's you're favorite part about MPGH?
[MPGH]iverson954360: Not sure how to answer that. I just go into general and post when I'm bored, other than that I don't go on MPGH.

[MPGH]Shane: So, General. I'm in general now as well because CF isn't my home anymore. Gets boring after a while. Before we end this interview, would you like to give any shoutouts?
[MPGH]iverson954360: Shout out to my niggas James, Gab, Austin, Luke, Alen, Shayne, Matt, Lehsyrus, Ethereal. (no particular order) And of course shout out to the two O.G.'s Dave and Arun, we the only ones left.

[MPGH]Shane: Thank you for your time Ravi!
[MPGH]iverson954360: Keep it 100.
