About Me

What's it like to be me? Imagine a thousand people throwing a party inside of your head and you're stuck outside without a ticket.

I guess I'm more collector than gamer these days. Sure I still play my 360/Wii/DS/3DS and so on, and I love them all, but I just don't have the free time like I used to.

I started my gaming life on an old Atari 2600 that my dad bought us for Christmas. I used to frequent the local arcade (early 80's) and I have a passion for anything pinball.

You may not know this but I also help run the Xbox 360 FNF side of business here on Dtoid. You can always host or find games to play here: Friday Night Fights Forum Thread

As of this update (4.19.2012) I currently have:

31 Consoles
34 Handhelds
1306 physical copies of various games
147 digital copies of games
Tons of other video game related items

I'm also a huge comic book nerd, here are some of my all-time favorites, not in any particular order:


Cerberus the Aardvark


Groo the Wanderer


Howard the Duck

I also love music, all types really. If I had to pick a favorite album of all time I would have to go with:


The Cure: Disintegration. This album is perfect, from beginning to end.

My daughter is also a gamer of sorts, here she is lavishing in all of her Nintendo plushies:


Oh yea, did I mention that I love Pinball more than any other game ever? Because I totally do.


I also like to doodle when I'm bored, as seen below

I drew that when I was bored.

Sometimes, when I'm not gaming or collecting I'll post blogs, here are a couple recent ones:

ChillyBilly's Hidden Gems - Nano Assault

Tales from the Battlefield - Operation Rolling Hell

10 things I didn't even know about myself, until today!
ChillyBilly | 1:47 PM on 02.02.2009 5 comments


Look, I know I’m late to the party but I don’t want to feel left out.

10 THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT ME! (CHILLY BILLY)

1. I have only had three jobs in my entire life (starting from 18). I just turned 35 on the 31st of December, 08 and have only had three jobs since the age of 18. I started off my working career fixing pagers (when pagers were cool) then made an abrupt change to call center manager. Now I am a staffing manager for one of the largest staffing companies in the U.S

2. (I’ve already posted this on the forums but it is too cool to pass up). Adam West, the original Batman from the 1960’s TV show picked me up and put me in the drivers seat of the original batmobile. I was just a small kid at an auto show in Detroit. Needless to say I was quite stoked.



3. I turn in to a bona-fide rock star when I am alone in the car. Seriously. When I am alone in the car and driving I go from mild mannered ChillyBilly to Rock God and Legend…ChillyBilly. Oh, I cannot sing for shit either.

4. I had one of the best known “underground” skate ramps in Orlando in the late 80’s early 90’s. I still skate whenever I get the chance but when I was young I was a total scummy skater. Me and a buddy of mine built a small half pipe in the woods behind my house and in a matter of weeks had dozens of people showing up to skate everyday, some of those were pro skaters from various companies.

5. I used to play my Atari 2600 on my roof with my best friend Brian. We would run a long extension cord from my bedroom window to the roof. We played on a small 19 inch black and white tv.

6. I have seen every Star Wars movie since the original in the theaters. Now admittedly I do not remember seeing A New Hope in the movie theater but rest assured I was there. I do however remember seeing The Empire Strikes Back. It was at a Drive-In and was a double feature with The Best Little Whore House in Texas.



7. Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter still kinda scares me. My aunt took me to see this movie when it hit the theaters. I was 12 years old and had no business even being there. I slept in my parents room for 2 months straight after seeing that movie and to this day when I watch it I feel uncomfortable.



8. I skipped work to play EverQuest II on launch day. I also took off the following day because I stayed up so late playing the first day.



9. I hate the Halo series. I just fucking hate it. I know everyone else seems to love it but I wish it would just go away.

10. My favorite movie of all time is the original Dirty Harry with Clint Eastwood.

I know, not as exciting as some of the other posters but it’s all about me!

When I was younger the poster to Jason Goes to Hell was enough to scare me... Nowadays I love the old Friday the 13th flicks but still don't really like that one too much, mainly due to the fact that Jason wasn't really in it though...
