Welcome to the Garage Interview where we meet some of the most astonishing pornstars in our virtual world. This month, CaptC interviews DildoKing!
1. Hi! How are you? Please tell us your username and the servers you play on. Tell us - what motivated you to choose the name and server(s) for your star?
Hello. Thanks for having me today. I play on UK1 as DildoKing and on UK2 as ButtLover. When I first signed up, I had no idea what to call myself so I just asked myself what would be the most outlandish name a porn star could have and I came up with DildoKing. When I signed up on UK2 I chose ButtLover, because you know, I like butts.
2. Tell us about yourself. How was your life before becoming a pornstar?
I'm 53 years old and semi-retired.
3. Any hobby outside of the film-industry you would want to tell us about?
I'm a cat lover, with four of my own, and I have volunteered at my local animal shelter on occasion.
4. Who's your favourite pornstar? (i.e. Clara Morgane, Katsuni, Evan Stone)
Tera Patrick
5. How did you start playing Big Bang Empire? Did you hear about the game from your friends, or maybe an advertisement?
I also play HeroZero, another game by the company that makes Big Bang Empire. One day I played a video to get free donuts (diamond equivalent in that game) and a video advertising BBE came on. After watching it, I knew I had to try it out.
6. When did you start to play Big Bang Empire?
June 30, 2015
7. Do you remember the day you started playing Big Bang Empire?
Oh yes I remember. I was a bit confused on how it worked, but I drew on my experience from playing HeroZero.
8. Do you remember your first days as a "noob" in Big Bang Empire? Tell us something!
I completed about 20 levels on my first day and perhaps another 20 levels on my second. I was feeling a bit cocky so I sent a message to Vanilla, the leader of Hardcore, which was the number 1 studio, and asked to join. LOL. Unfortunately I was a little to weak to join at the time so she recommended another studio. I went there until I was about level 70 and she sent me an invitation to join Hardcore. I like to think that she saw my long term potential.
9. What do you like the most in the game?
The game has changed a lot in two years. What I like now is not what I liked in the beginning. In the beginning, I was interested in doing missions and duels and exploring the differences between being a superhero in HZ and a porn star in BBE. The addition of Temple events and Dickstarter has made the game a lot more interesting. And of course I love being in a studio with a great group of people that are fun to chat with.
10. When you log in to the game, what do you do first?
I check group chat and see how we did in studio fights.
11. What are your favourite items?
Anything with leather and chains. Probably because I don't have the guts to wear them in real life.
12. What is it like being a leader of one of the best studios in the entire server? Is in an easy task?
I took over from Vanilla as studio boss in April of this year when she could no longer play due to real life issues. At first it was very daunting. She left me the studio in first place and I struggled to keep the studio together and strong. Emotionally it was very hard on me as I had to start spending more time in the game and to be honest it took a lot of the fun away. But I have a great set of producers that are always willing to step up and help in any way that I need so it has become a lot easier over the last few months.
13. Is there any special moment in your career as a pornstar you would like to share with us?
Every major milestone in the game, whether it be reaching a certain level or achieving a certain rank in glory, is always special and memorable.
14. Do you have an anecdote you'd like to share with us? A fun quote from a co-player perhaps?
Because of the nature of the game, it's not always easy to tell the gender of someone you're flirting with. Even though the character could be male or female, their gender in real life could be the opposite. I always have fun flirting and teasing with everyone regardless.
15. Is there something you'd specifically like to achieve in the game?
I'd like to reach number 1 in both glory and level.
16. In your opinion, what is your greatest achievement so far in Big Bang Empire?
Reaching level 400. I thought I would never make it.
17. Have you set any particular goals to achieve?
My goal now is to take my place in the top 5 in glory ranking.
18. Have you taken part in a convention? What's your best position in which to qualify?
I like conventions as long as I still have time to complete my regular missions and refills. I have finished first several times as well as having had the winning show a few times.
19. You are one of the top players in Big Bang Empire. What is the secret of your success?
Perseverance. Just showing up every day, doing the required work to be better than I was the day before.
20. What are your tips for beginners?
Find a studio as soon as you can. Studios are a great way to get information from more experienced players on how to improve your game. Being in a studio can give you a sense of belonging. You'll make friends and you'll look forward to going online every day. From there you can decide what kind of player you want to be, whether missions are more important or duels. But most importantly, always have fun.
21. Big Bang Empire creates friendships. Have you created any kind of bond with another player? Tell us who, and how.
Oh most definitely. I would have to say that Shimmer(UK1)/Cimorene(UK2) is the player that I am closest to. She has practically become my online wife.
22. Is there any player you look up to - that you admire? - If so, who and why?
Flipmo. He is such an incredibly strong player and his knowledge of the game seems infinite. I would not be the player I am if he wasn't always pushing me to be better.
23. Name up to three players next to the following descriptions:
• Best players (based exclusively on their ability as players, not i.e. their personality);
Flipmo(UK1)
• Opponents you respect the most;
TomB(UK1) I am always trying to beat him and not always successful. Every time I do, he changes his build which forces me to rethink my stragedy.
• Favourite forum members (if you are a registered forum member);
BeckyLynch(UK2) before her departure. Now I would say TaraBing. She's very knowledgeable and always willing to answer a question.
24. Is there any message you'd like to send the Big Bang Empire community?
Strive to be better than you were the day before but be sure to enjoy the game.
25. Describe Big Bang Empire in three words.
Fun, Friendship, Time-consuming
26. Which boosters do you usually buy? Which do you deem the most important?
I'll save my diamonds to buy mission and skill boosters, but use notes for work boosters.
27. How many diamonds do you buy each month?
I usually spend about £10 which is 1,350 diamonds per month. It's not really necessary to spend more in my opinion.
28. Your star is one ranked with top glory. Can you advise us on how you choose your duels?
Not really a fair question. Since I'm so high in level, I pretty much have to hit everyone below me. My apologies to everyone that I have to hit 3x daily for about 20-30 glory but it's the only way now to advance. But for new players, my advice is to choose an opponent with less stamina and finesse. You'll have a greater chance of winning. Also, always refine your items. They greatly help your game.
29. What is your favorite Temple Challenge - and which ones are your least?
My least favourite is without a doubt doing party tickets since you have the least control over whether you do one or not. You're at the mercy of the game to give you a ticket. My favourite Temple events are any which require using my energy and doing missions since I always use up all my refills. (ed.note: as of Patch Update 2017.11.21 Party Tickets are said to be a daily occurrence with the frequency of obtaining a ticket dramatically improving.. -TB)
30. What was your best finish in the Big Bang Awards? Do you have any tips for our young aspiring movie-makers out there?
I've made it to the top 10 in BBA a few times but never first. My advice is to do all your films every day to increase the chance that your film will be displayed for voting. When designing a film cover, try to show off your outfit and try to make your background match the film title.
Thanks a lot for your time. I hope you keep playing and enjoying the game. Best wishes from the team!
Thank you for giving me this opportunity to introduce myself.
