Member of the Moment : QuiCKz Ninja

Time again for a new Member of the Moment. This time featuring a profile of a regular forum poster. If you only get your gaming news from 360voice, then it's likely this is the guy who brought it to your attention.

Gamertag: QuiCkz Ninja

Where are you at?

I am Alessio, I was born near Florence in Italy. I live in Italy, I would like to live in the U.S.

Have you been to the U.S. before? 

No

Where would you like to live in the U.S. and why?

Maybe California, that's where the famous people are.

Any special story behind your gamertag? 

No, everybody calls me quickshot, quickz or quicky on COD series; also I love Ninja.

Xbox One

Turtle Beach headset

Scuf controller

Comfy desk chair

TV and Xbox are set up next to my desk, on a two drawer filing cabinet.

What's the first video game you ever played?

I don't know to be honest... I can't remember if we played Zelda on NES at someone's house first, and that's why my parents decided to get us one, or if we just got an NES and so Mario was my first game.

Favorite game genre? 

Shooting: I just love them. Call of Duty, Battlefield series but also prefer sports games.

Top 3 favorite games? 

COD Modern Warfare 2, Fifa 14, Forza Motorsport 5,

Veteran gear level 100 from Gears of War 2 This was the biggest pain-in-the-ass achievement, when I finally heard that little popping sound, I was euphoric.

You recently crossed the 200k Gamerscore mark. Did you use any special game or achievement to pass that mark?

Lococycle

Yes my plan is play and have fun with Xbox One.

What are your impressions of the Xbox One so far?

I love my Xbox One! Easy to use, multitasking is a breeze, and Forza Motorsport 5 and Dead Rising 3 are fantastic games! Couldn't ask for a better console!

What features/apps would you like to see added in the future for Xbox One?

I think a green, orange and black Xbox One would look cool, and a new dashboard.

What's your biggest pet peeve about games? 

Random errors and crashing.

Any other hobbies or activities?

I like to play soccer.

Ever break out any real life ninja skills playing soccer?

No

How did you hear about 360voice? 

Google search for gamerscore rankings. Although having 360voice in your motto is an excellent way to advertise for the site.

What keeps you coming back? 

That's easy. 360voice's community is the best on the web. I've been to many gaming sites where you just didn't feel welcomed at all and some of the forum mods were downright jerks. The 360voice community is the most friendly.

What kind of events would you like to see at 360voice?

Contest Winner badge, Microsoft Points, free games, free Live subscription, etc. Although our competitive nature drives us to spend countless hours and more money than is reasonable for the chance to win, I'm motivated by free stuff, badges, team building, appreciation of stats, and especially the competitive spirit.

Top 21 for February? Also looks like Stallion83 is almost there...

Here's the top 21... for some time period that includes February. A rough month for me with me moving houses.

Looks like Stallion83 is at 995k as of today... Let's hope that big number doesn't break the site....

Blogs Delayed 3/6

Our hosting provider rebooted the server for a patch last night right after midnight, which messed up polling. I've restarted, probably ETA for blogs around 2-3pm today.

X1 Thanks... Streaks are in sync now, Viral 2014 is out now, more XBOX One to come

I've been negligent in thanking  Alan aka djekl over at the unofficial xbox api in all of his help in getting 360voice connected to XBOX One data. He taught me a lot about Curl and authentication and helped a lot with collaboration to get me up to speed. So thanks Alan.

After a few bumps on restarting the Streaks, I think everything is running correctly now. Please send an email to support@360voice.com if there is a problem. As a reminder, we can not depend on XBOX One data for play streaks.

The Viral 2014 is now out in the wild. Join a challenge with somebody that has the viral and win and you should be awarded the badge. Everybody that earned the badge from the Mega challenge and everybody that has won a challenge with all of those people and so on and so forth should have the badge now. Enjoy.

Next up, I need to roll out the badge updates for the end of the year(2013 that is).

For XBOX One, I am creating a page that will show your minutes played for your XBOX One games(and or integrate into the games page) and another page to show your individual game stats.

Streaks are really Live now!

Streaks are turned back on. Remember, do not rely on XBOX One play to maintain your play streak.

I've done my best to set the streaks appropriately. If you've been diligent and maintained your streak during the time that I said streaks would be on a couple weeks ago, you should be good.

It will take the blog processing on Thursday to straighten out your max streaks.

Of course, if you feel there's a problem, please email support@360voice.com and we'll fix any stray issues.

Blogs are delayed today

Was working on the streaks and the database, everything is backed up today. Not sure of ETA, I will monitor through the day.

XBOX ONE data is now here in your blogs

After a long trek, the XBOX One data is in your blogs and should be in your game data, etc. now. Depending on when you read this, you may have seen blogs times 3, tracking this down and a a few other hitches along the way.

For today, it will show all of your activity since 11/22. After today, it should show your daily increases as usual. Also, it should be showing your App playing. Also, if you have Xbox ONE and it didn't pick you up, please let me know. I identified who had ONES a week or two ago, I still need to write a process to pick up up new people.

Of course with any new update, there's always a chance for bugs. Please post in the forums or my blog or support@360voice.com and I will try to get to everything. That means a few more days before I start bringing in some more data.

As for Streaks, those might be another day or so, but please keep playing, they will be on shortly...

Enjoy!!!!
