Oh yes. You had no idea this was coming, did you? Neither did I, until I'd met up wtih Jay and we decided to interview a few MyMedia members. The only one I could actually find, however, is the lovely DjChopper, poster extraordinaire. Now, DjChopper was wearing a lovely Super Mario World costume, obviously as Mario. He had a cape and everything. Being colour-blind, however, I have no idea if it was yellow, but I can only imagine it was.

Oh yes. I have a nice photo of him, too, right after DjChopper finished playing Red Steel 2. It took him a while to get the hang of the controls, and he almost died, but it looked like good fun.

iamtom: So, you post every now on then on MyDS.com.au. How did you find out about it?
DjChopper: I actually found out about MyDS through a friend of mine. He originally told me to sign up to MyWii, and I did three days after him. Soon after that, I stumbled upon MyDS and have been active on both sites ever since.
iamtom: Are you here at eGames for all three days?
DjChopper: Yeah, I am. I'm actually here for the High School eSports League. Dunno what I'm playing, but I'm playing it!
iamtom: Oo, cool! I was going to be part of a team with my School, but then I came to eGames with MyMedia. Who are you playing for?
DjChopper: We're called the Sandy Soldiers. We actually had to split our team in two, because we had too many people. Kind of funny, actually.
iamtom: Wait, so how many people are in your team now?
DjChopper: There are four of us...now. There were more before the split, obviously. About 8 of us in all, representing our school.
iamtom: You said before you don't know what you're playing. Do you have any preferences in title? I mean, you post on MyDS and MyWii, so I can't really see you playing Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X or Halo 3.
DjChopper: I suppose now that you mention it, I'd like to play in the Retro Games tournaments and with the Wii games in general. Shame there's no Pokemon, though.
iamtom: Sounds like fun! Good luck to you. What is your favourite part about the eGames Expo 2009 so far?
DjChopper: Just being around gamers in general, with our own climate...as Mario. It's pretty cool and relaxed, and just a fun environment.
iamtom: Yeah, it's pretty nice. I'm having fun just talking to exhibitors, gamers themselves. It's a great experience. As you post on MyDS and MyWii, what are some games you're looking forward to?
DjChopper: I'm actually looking forward to a fair amount of games. First off, Super Mario Galaxy 2 looks like it's really good. Then, The Untitled Wii Zelda Game and The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks are going to be freaking awesome. I'm a massive Zelda series fanboy. Oh, and New Super Mario Bros. Wii is looking like fun and Metroid Other M seems like it's going to be the best Metroid game yet.
iamtom: I honestly haven't been keeping up to date with most of those games. I do know I'm getting New Super Mario Bros. Wii though - well, my brother is, but still. Onto the topic of Mario, how long did it take you to make that awesome costume?
DjChopper:Actually, it took me only a few days to put it all together. I actually made it a few months ago, however.
iamtom: Do you play video games in it? Actually, let me rephrase that. What games have you been playing recently?
DjChopper: Not much, to be honest. Mainly just Guitar Hero, just to get prepared for my purchase of Guitar Hero 5. Apart from that? A tiny bit of de Blob. I'm getting through it slowly!
iamtom: Sounds like fun. I have GH5 on Wii, don't really like the songs. Anyway, enough about me. Have you been enjoying your time at the eGames Expo so far?
DjChopper: Yeah, it's been awesome! Kinda annoying that the eLeague has taken a while to get off the ground, but apart from that, it's been brilliant.
iamtom: Well, we'll stop it there. Your friends look just about ready to axe me for not interviewing them. Thanks very much for your time and good luck in the league, DjChopper!
DjChopper: No problem, and thanks. Enjoy yourself!

This interview have been slightly edited, to make it more smoothe to read with DjChoppers permission
Say whaa? That was you in the Mario cosplay?! I saw you loads of times! You were really good at that danceing game on the wii , i was watching you .
Favourite part was the really cute Sasuke chick! I love her...but her singing...not so much.

Give DJChopper a medal

He is very, very shy. He was very awkward around me and Aimee. So we teamed him up with Aimee's boyfriend. Turtle-guy.

Oh, he IS Aimee's boyfriend. I lol.

Yeah he was pretty awkward around me at first. His brother seems like an awesome fellow though.

Yeah, I only found out for certian yesterday. I've had my suspicions, though. My boyfriend was way cooler. xD
If he was awkward arouund you, imagine how he was around two girls. o_o
Hiya! Just checked the threads, awesome stuff!

Sorry about the lunch thing Tom. I didn't get a chance to use the computer last night, you are going again tomorrow right? And anyone else?

Also, that Let's Dance game is pretty fun. XD And this is the first time I've cosplayed, it's so awesome. Only one more day though...
I want to play that Just Dance game...
And u guys are so mean to Jay, u people should respect him more. /sarcasm but that is kinda mean..

edit: wrong emotion >.>

Toki said: but that is kinda mean..



What is? We have not said one mean thing.
Oh and one more thing. Tomorrow is the time to buy stuff - everything should be a lot cheaper. So put some money aside, okay? Good night.
It's DDR Mario!
Good stuff guys.

DjChopper said: Oh and one more thing. Tomorrow is the time to buy stuff - everything should be a lot cheaper. So put some money aside, okay? Good night.



I highly doubbt that it will be very much cheaper.
Well, I ended up getting some Dragon Ball manga and a couple of PC games for $20. eGames was fun, and being Mario made it that extra bit more awesome. Thanks for the interview, and again it was good to meet you guys.

You are not afraid of me going all pedo on you next year?
Nah man, it's all good. Maybe we can have a full length conversation next time, too! XD

I entered the cosplay competition with her, and a few other awesome people. She and her friends did some kickarse dance, was epic.
 
I'm only awkward around people at first, once you hang out with me more in person I start to come out of my shell. I was fine around Josh there, anyway. Nice meeting you btw, DJ.

I don't recall her singing.
