Player Spotlight: CoolerSopranos2

CoolerSopranos2 is one of our original clan members from the days of Halo 1 LAN parties.  Per popular request, we sat down for a quick interview to find out more about him.

Q1: What's your name in real life?
A1: Kevin Copeland

Q2: What is your day job?
A2: I work at Intel Mask Operations where we deliver world class masks and tape out support enabling Intel to be One Generation Ahead on technology with industry leading time-to-market.  I sit in a cube supporting factory operations trying to never set foot within the factory.

Q3: What's an interesting thing about you?
A3: CoolerSopranos was a Xbox suggested name after multiple attempts to create a nametag based on Soprano's characters failed.  Wanting to get in and play Halo:CE as quick as possible, I decided to use the suggested name figuring I could always change it later.  Fail!  The name stuck and after something happened to the original account and it could not be renewed, I signed up CoolerSopranos2.

Q4: How did you get into Halo and/or video games?
A4: I bought the original Xbox the day it was released specifically to play Halo:CE.  Playing Co-op campaign with Omniscient Death until the early morning proved the game was addicting.  However, it was the underground online play that was really groundbreaking for consoles and created the Halo experience.

Q5: What's your favorite thing about playing Halo?
A5: Sneaking up on unsuspecting players and assassinating them.

Q6: What's your biggest dislike about playing Halo?
A6:

1. Sneaking up on unsuspecting players, missing the assassination attempt and getting tea bagged for my effort.
2. Score Whores!
3. The Arbiter

Q7: How do you manage video game time with wife time?
A7: With only one TV in the house, it's tricky as I won't play until the wife goes to bed.

Q8: How has Reach brought you back into the Halo world?
A8: Daily and Weekly Challenges are a surprisingly effective motivational tool.

Many thanks to CoolerSopranos2 for his time and welcome back to active duty!
