EA SPORTS World Community Member Spotlight: Mac Natural

1. What is your first name? Terry

2. Where do you live?
Oklahoma City, OK

3. Where did you grow up?
Oklahoma City and Dallas

4. How old are you?
I might be the oldest Madden player online at 58

5. How long have you been a gamer?
Since I found out I was a great jacks player in 1955

6. What is the first video game you were ever hooked on?
Asteroids

7. What was your first game console?
Sega Genesis

8. What console do you play on most now?
XBOX 360

9. What's the story behind your EA ID/Gamertag?
It truly is my last name.  When I came home from my third T.o.D. in 1971 (Semper Fidelis) some people made a movie called "The Mack."  A burger joint came out with the Big Mac.  People started saying all across the land, "You got Macked."  Well, there is a right way and a wrong way to Mac.  Using what you were born with is the right way, thus MAC NATURAL.  Who else to set the record straight then from the orginal Mac himself.

10. How often do you visit EA SPORTS World?
Every day

11. What do you rank as your favorite game right now?
Madden NFL 09.  This is truly a football (sim) lover's game.

12. What's the best video game of all-time? Why? Asteroids.  it takes your eyes and hands moving at the speed of your mental thought, processing hundreds of asteroids coming at you from multiple angles.  You have to shoot and fly through this without getting hit.  Now, keep in mind when you shoot one it can break up into as many as four other pieces on new trajectories.  Talk about playing an intense game.  This is it.  I have scored over a million points.  I took this game very seriously.  Great fun.

13. What's the most underrated video game? Why?
Asteroids.  Why?  See above.

14. What's your best video game story? (e.g. Playing someone famous, beating a friend 100-7 in Madden, etc)
When Teddy Bruschi was home from the Patriots trying to recover from his stroke we played a few games of Madden online.  Funny guy, he always talks about himself in the third person.  Bruschi this, Bruschi that, Bruschi makes the tackle.  That guy cracked me up.  But the best story is about my son.  He had this basketball game that he was really good at.  He would just destroy me when we played, until one day I found out I could shoot and make a three point shot right before the half court line.  It drove him crazy.  "Dad you can't do that!"  Well, you know the old saying "If you can't beat them, join them."  That game became a three point shootout.  All you would here is THREEEE,THREEEEEE.  The winner was the one who didn't blink first.

15. Beyond the games, what's your favorite sport(s)?
Football

16. Who's your favorite athlete of all-time?
Mr. High Tops, Johnny Unitas

17. What is your favorite Pro Team? Do you play as them?
Dallas Cowboys.  The only team I have run with since before online even started.  I'm truly a hardcore fan.

18. What is your favorite College team? Do you play as them?
Oklahoma.  Boomer Sooners!

19. When do you play? Does anyone in your family give you a hard time? Since I am retired, I will get on at anytime and play, but I like to run from 6am to 11am.

20. Have you ever suffered a video game injury?
Yes, at the 05 Madden Challenge in Las Vegas.  I was beat up real bad by a 14 year-old kid.

21. What are your top three favorite non EA games? 
Foosball, Chess, Age of Empires.

22. Do you play fantasy sports? Which one(s)?
No

23. Did you play sports in school? Which ones and what position? Were you any good?
I was a linebacker in football, ran the 200 yard dash, shot put, discus, mile relay.  I was All State and All Metro in football.

24. Which EA SPORTS title do you think you are best at?
Madden.  My tip is you don't have to win to have fun.  I would rather lose right than win wrong.
