Rap superstar Soulja Boy certainly had gamers talking when he dropped a video recently to share his opinions on recent Xbox Live Arcade indie darling “Braid.”
Gamers questioned Soulja Boy’s taste and gaming credentials.
The rapper never responded directly to people’s reactions to that “Braid” video. But he hasn’t stopped talking about video games.
This week, he has released a video calling out the gaming community to take him on in “Halo 3″. In it, he revealed his active Xbox Live gamertag — “Souljaboytellem.”
Through the magic of Xbox.com, MTV Multiplayer pulled up Soulja Boy’s gamertag and noted his playing habits. Needless to say, Soulja Boy plays a heck of a lot of video games — he just doesn’t play many of them for very long.
The last games he’s played, in order: “Zoids Assault,” “Gears of War,” “Dangerous Hunts 2009,” “Dynasty Warriors Orochi 2,” and finally “Silent Hill: Homecoming.”
Soulja Boy’s touched everything from “Penny Arcade Adventures” to “Gears of War” to cult favorite “Earth Defense Force 2017.” On all of those games except “Gears of War,” however, he has no listed Achievements. That’s true of most games tied to his account. So even though XBL does not list total playing time, it doesn’t seem like Soulja Boy is playing his games a lot.
If we’re to gauge his interest in terms of achievements, however, we know some of his favorites — 350 points unlocked in “Crackdown,” 330 points in “The Bourne Conspiracy,” 275 points in “Madden NFL 09.”
And even though music is the reason for his success, Soulja Boy’s shied away from the genre in games. He’s barely touched “Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock” and never played “Rock Band” or “Rock Band 2.”
This all feels a little creepy, but it’s interesting insight into a public figure that’s taken to vocally discussing their opinions and seen a strong reaction from gamers.
Thought I would post it as some people might be a fan of his and want to add him.
