Tell us about yourself:What is your primary GT?Sengir79Do you use any other GT's that you would care to share?HT Downforce,
Sengir is Drunk. I also have a super secret tag that only about 4 people other than myself know.
Why did you choose your GT(s)? The 79 is the year I was born and the first part is a type of Vampire (I have a thing about vampires, but NOT ones that sparkle). I liked the sound of downforce, but it was taken so I repped HT with it to get it. And my drunk tag is only used when I am drunk
Do you care to give your real name for the HTR stalkers?Gareth Thomas Alan Estabrook
Your name will sound familiar to some people, why is that? Where would people recognize you from?I doubt anyone would recognise me by my real name, except for those who know me in real life (and maybe my facebook stalkers). Otherwise, people may recognise me simply for being a MOD here, or for my involvement with tournaments. Others may fear my prowess in action sack (probably not though, lol)
How young are you?33
Where did you grow up, and where do you currently live?I Grew up and live in Romford, which is in East London, UK
What are your favorite activities when you decide to put down your controller? Put down the controller? I don't understand that phrase, sorry :-P

Do you have a favorite television show? The BIg Bang Theory
QI
Top Gear
Mock the Week
Do you have a favorite movie?I have lots, my dvd collection consists of a lot of cult classics from the 80's and before. I don't think I can possibly pick just one movie above all the others. A selection of movies I own includes, The Thing, The Princess Bride, Bladerunner, Time Bandits, Batman and Enemy Mine, to name but a few.
Do you have a favorite actor/actress? Gary Oldman and Samuel L. Jackson. Badass in whatever role they play

Do you have a favorite band and/or musician? Queen, Rammstein, Nightwish
What got you into gaming in general? My parents got our first home computer in 1983 and I played the games it had to offer. For those of you who are interested it was a Dragon 32, which we later upgraded to a Dragon 64. (I expect most, if not all, of you will will have to google it)
Editors Note:What was your favorite or best non Halo video game moment?Finally completing marble madness over 15 years since the last time I'd played it (pathetic I know, lol)
What is your favorite game other than Halo?I love the lego games, awesome fun
What got you into Halo specifically?I'd played campaign since CE, but never any MM, I had no time for it, nor a working xbox of my own when halo 2 was released (working far too much at the time). Then in 2009 I found myself with more time and a friend had just bought a 360 and had halo 3, so I tried MM for the first time and since then I was hooked on it.
How long have you been playing Halo? Campaign since CE, MM since January 2009
Which Halo is your favorite and Why?Campaign - Halo2, MM - Halo 3. Halo 2 had the best campaign ion my opinion and I like the simple yet focused MM of Halo 3
What is your favorite gametype and map?For reach, I like asylum and most Action Sack gametypes
For Halo 3, I like Guardian and oddball/KotH
What is your controller button layout and sensitivity settings?I use Recon and sens 1 inverted (my sticks are very loose right now so I have to play on sens 1 or I just can't aim, not that I can most of the time anyway)
What Monitor/TV do you play on? 32" Sony Bravia
What gaming headset do you use? A very dilapidated set of TB X11's. Upgrade coming soon I hope.
What do you think Halo 4 will do for the general Halo community?I'm hoping that it will have something for everybody to stop the complaining that was so prevalent in Reach. I know it's hard to please everyone, but I'm hoping Halo 4 can pull it off far better than previous games.
What is your favorite thing about Halotracker? Me! :-P lol
