Community Spotlight Blunderboy

Blunderboy is someone you can see in many areas of The Escapist. He spends most of his time in the Off-topic and Gaming Discussion forums, but also dabbles in Forum Games as well as commenting on news and featured content as often as possible. He’s also a member of the Brovengers, one of the most active user groups on The Escapist. Blunderboy is almost everywhere you can find people on The Escapist, and this is his Community Spotlight. Without further ado, Blunderboy! How long have you been a member of The Escapist, and what about the site brought you here? What is your favourite current Escapist feature? What is your best memory that came from The Escapist‘s forums? You started the ComuniCast. Can you explain what that is, and how it came about? What is it that you do for a living? Is it something that you enjoy? I figured that it would be a cool idea but that really, it would be deemed too much effort and that nothing much would come of it. But it seems that I’d under estimated the awesomeness of my fellow Escapists, who took my idea and ran with it. More than that in fact. They evolved it, adding rotating hosts to keep it fresh and get more users involved, and also creating the FailCast, which is much more free form and open in terms of topics. My big thanks go out to all of those guys, especially Fappy and Fiz, because I did not have any internet in my flat for over a month when I came up with the idea, so everyone’s help was amazing. In your free time, apart from browsing The Escapist, what do you do with yourself? After working damn near a decade in various retail jobs, the two years I’ve been there are awesome. I finally get to enjoy weekend and bank holidays. I also get to see lots of awesome places in the UK, as I get to go on conferences too. So yeah, I guess I enjoy it. Do you have a favorite game/movie/band/painting/etc. that you’d like more people to be aware of? I’ve also really gotten into roleplay over the summer specifically World of Darkness and I really would encourage everyone to try it. It’s a great laugh with your mates and a real blast. Beyond that it’s really just the usual I guess. Seeing my mates down the pub, films, music and trying to find a lady to share my life with. Oh my new flatmate has a piano so I’m planning to learn to play that. Or at least a few songs by my favourite singer. Pets. Do you have any? If so, what are they and what are their names? If not, what would you like if you had that choice? Also, more people need to be made aware of the brilliant Predator the Musical (and all the ‘Arnie’ musicals) and the ChristopherWalkenThroughs. You should go ahead and YouTube those. Where do you see yourself in five years’ time? Do you have any goals that need fulfilling? If I could have my own pet? A tamed red panda would be pretty awesome.
