Here is Benzaie's Interview
1. Age? Gender?
I'll be 21 the 29th of September, and I am a (she) male
2. What brought you to ScrewAttack?
I saw the Ninja Turtles for the NES review on YOUTUBE while searching for ANGRY NERD videos like the german kid[Editor's Note: I think he means that he saw AVGN's TMNT for NES review], and man I laughed. I saw that this guy had a connection to ScrewAttack, so I jumped in and loved every single thing they had.
3. What is your favorite piece of your gaming collection?
Hmm... I love my Japanese Sega Saturn (white), I love My Neo-Geo AES. I love my WonderSwan with Rockman and Forte. But I will go with my Megaman 2 complete with manual. I know everybody has it, but I traded my Megaman 2 cartridge a while ago, and I found one in very good condition in a town near by late 2007. It ignited in me the desire to own more classic game, and, five months later, I had bought a NEO GEO AES with a bunch of games, A shit load of Saturn, NES, and Genesis games, a JAGUAR etc etc...
4. What's your favorite game or games?
Maybe Jim Power for the Atari ST in term of How this game brings back memories... same for games such as Exolon or Speedbal. But I gotta say, in term of pure quality, the metroid franchise especially Super Metroid and Metroid Prime...
5. What's your favorite console?
Wow the Sega Saturn just in terms of pure love. In term of quality, I gotta say the NES.
6. Where were you born and raised?
I was born in (you will have no idea where it is) NIORT in LES DEUX SEVRES in le POITOU-CHARENTES in France :D
It's a very small mid-west town of France, and I've been raised in a village nearby called GASCOUGNOLLES...
It's a bitch to pronounce for a foreigner I guess. lol
7. What g1 blogs do you check up on?
Oh definitely RANGOONONLINE. These guys deserve much more attention. They made some of the most hilarious videos EVER, Mandalorian 30 because he's an awesome guy and I love toys, Screwpenguin because he sucks and doesn't have any friends, ChefProtoss because I loved the idea of offering a game to a g1 for a special intro, Kain Kusanagi because 2-Bit Gaming
FTW...
8. Who's works in other forms of media, do you enjoy?
A lot of people actually. Kevin Smith comes to my mind immediately. Cameron, Lucas, James Rolfe (of COURSE) and, oh my god, I love Shyamalan movies - and not because of the twist factor.
For the Music I hope some guys from SwedeAttack will read this.. I'm a BIG , HUGE FAN of METAL. Therefore: KALMAH, CHILDREN OF BODOM, THERION, AFTER FOREVER, MANIGANCE and Adagio...these are bands that come to my mind INSTANTLY!
9. What are some of your favorite non-gaming hobbies?
P*RN! lol I should say... I dunno. Doing videos of course, but let's say hanging out with my best friends and watch movies.... NERD ALERT!
10. If your life was a comic book or video game, what would be your super power or expertise?
Definitely to fly...men...be like magneto or superman... I dunno which to choose. But yeah, this kind of power dude... Or maybe like Charles Xavier, because he can control your mind...but with such a power I would go psycho. [Editor's Note: Wow...]
11. What is your favorite Subject (School)?
English :D of course I've just graduated in English Literature and Civilization :D
12. Who is your favorite game developer?
Wow either Capcom or Nintendo...or Konami. MEGAMAN and Street Fighter VS Zelda and Metroid VS Castlevania and Contra...
Sorry does not compute, cannot make a choice...
13. Where do you spend most of your time on ScrewAttack?
On the p*rn area...it's hard to find it, but man is it a treasure! Seriously, on the blogs and the main stuff featured... I don't hook up too much around the forums.
14. Whats you Gamertag? PSN Name?
Gamertag's Benzaie
PSN is for P*ssies lol
15. What game have you spent the most time on?
Phew I dunno probably Rainbow Six 3 RAVEN SHIELD because I had my own team online (called the ODLQ, standing for (once translated) the FOND OF COCKS ), and these guys were already my best friends in Highschool, so we made it pretty high in the French Ranking, and I played this games a shit load of hours between trainings and Matches...
16. Whats your favorite game that came out recently?
I'd like to say BRAWL but I still don't HAVE IT for personal reasons :( So I have to say hum...this year I had fun with Lost Odyssey but Mass Effect was the sh*t at the end of 2007.
17. Whats your favorite video game character (that you can relate to)?
Samus Aran because I'm a woman inside :D that's an odd question...oh yeah I know I LOVE FRANK WEST from Dead Rising
18. No one knows I can ____?
WHAT? [Editor's Note: I'm so confused right now]
19. What's your favorite movie?
Well...I'm a huge nerdy movie fan...let's go with CLERKS, CONAN, ROBOCOP, KIKUJIRO's SUMMER, the CHINESE FEST, TERMINATOR 2, SIGNS, Alien 2, The Goonies, Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust, Zatoichi (by kitano), Ghostbusters...
I'm having a Hard Time choosing one...let's say...right now I can watch over and over again the MUPPET Christmas Carrol :D... no joke
20. What is one thing that you would change about ScrewAttack?
Man it's been a year (no joke) that I ask without being heard for either a ScrewAttack Radio, or a Screwattack Streaming TV... featuring the screwattack main show at regular hours but also featuring a TON of g1's created content...that's one of the reason Why I'm part of g1 attack now...
[Editor's Note AGAIN: Yes, I stopped editing for the most part. We're trying to keep the authenticity of his accent]
21. Have you tried the Street Fighter HD Remix beta? Your thoughts?
Hey man Can you tell me HOW IN HELL can I get my hands on the BETA ??[Dante's Note - For all of you people that don't know how to get The Street fighter HD Remix beta, simply download WOTB (Wolf of the Battlefield) on the XBLA (Xbox Live Arcade) and once you open the game there is a section where you can download the beta)
22. What is your favorite unlockable in a video game?
I had an orgasm when I first got the Screw Attack in SUPER METROID...does that count as an Unlockable ? If not let's go with...The Cow themed underwears in Schoolmate (that's an H-game) :D
23. What's your favorite gaming peripherals/add-ons?
OH dude I love the Virtua Gun but I owned (once unfortunately) STEEL BATTALION for the XBOX oh my GOD !!! this thing was freacking huge, you knew it was the sh*t when you first had to eject yourself...what a game..if you have one please donate :D
24. What is the worst/most embarrassing item in your video game collection?
I'm embarrassed because I don't own a PC engine...but for the things that I own...Let's say the TECHNIGAME :D it's a pointless TV game system you can get for ordering clothes on some websites it's awful...
25. With Kratos being rumored to be in Soul Caliber 4 on the PS3 version who would you like to see on the Xbox 360 Version?
Actually Now we know it's been denied right? Because the game is already owned by a bunch of guys I know... But I would have loved to see SPAWN back, but the MEDIEVAL SPAWN from the comics...'cause he ROCKS [Dante's Note - Can't a Man Dream?]
26. What video game would you like to see your 70 year old grandma figure out and play?
hum let's say CONTRA..because enough with the WII stuff I want to see old people figure out about great gameplay mechanics!
27. What is your favorite theme song?
regarding Video Games...in equal Jim Power, Impossible, Harlequin, the megaman 2 and 3 intro and Exolon.... but I love like the SMASH BROS THEME song, anything from F zero, Metroid, Zelda etc...but they can't make me cry...(p*ssy spotted).
regarding series, we have different theme song than you in the US... I love one from Grendizer,, called GOLDORAK here I also love the THUNDERCATS, called the COSMOCATS :D, the X-men and WILDCATS theme were awesome too...

the contra code...or the Konami Command whatever [Editor's Note: Konami Code. Eh, he's close enough]
30. What is a game I might dont know but isnt sweet at all?
Good question... you definitely don't know a game called Skrull and it's just terrible, some kind of point N Click Beat them up... (yeah) that just does whatever he wants but it has the most ridiculous sounds effect ever...
31. What game do you play to calm down after doing something totally frustrating?
I like playing some METAL SLUG, street fighter or Magical Drop 3 (NEO GEO PUZZLE GAME), i'm like the ultimate master on this game so I kick the computer's ass and BAM I feel better, Gears of War is a good game for that too..
32. What are some things that you can and can't do in France campared to America?
You can Drink Alcohol and watch porn in France at 18, but can't drive until 18.. the biggest difference got to be the rating system... You can see a movie with the most horrible swearing ever when you're 8...like JAY and Silent Bob Strikes Back, is for ALL AUDIENCE here where it's not under 17 for you...We can see Tits on commercial (that is awesome :D) we can see some tits on a movie rated for 12+, if you want some real tits, like in a trauma movie, they're for 16+ here, and 18+ is just for porn movies, other wise even a movie like the last RAMBO was for 16+...
33. What is the most recent XBLA game you have purchased? Your thoughts on it?
ahah I've only purchased one and It was Castlevania Symphony Of The Night this game is the shit And I had never finished on the playstation so...

Like the Demo of Devil May Cry on Resident Evil Code Veronica X or the Halo 3 beta coming with Crackdown ? Well...No definitely NOT !

36. What is the best deal on anything electronic you have had?
My TV is a 37 inches HD TV and I had it for 500 bucks a YEAR ago...that was a good deal...and recently for 60 bucks I came out with a SEGA SATURN, a GENESIS and a MASTER SYSTEM and a bunch of games... but I never made that much pf an awesome deal...maybe my Neo Geo coming with 7 games and one controller for 200 bucks...
37. What got you into gaming?
My Grand dad had an ORIC ATMOS when I was...1, nearly 2... he took me ono his lap...and MAN the HUNCHBACK was the most fascinating thing I had EVER SEEN !!! I alway asked him to play these games, then He bought an ATARI ST...man I played Bubble Bobble, Toki and Jupiter Probe on this machine I wasn't even in SCHOOL !!! and OH my god !!! Gosh that brings back memories... thank you dude...
38. Who inspires you?
My Fiancé Marion for her support and her talent (she's going to work on animation), My Brother John for his Strength, and...lets say My friends, I mean my closest Friends...the ODLQs...for their quality I don't have...
39. Is there anyone you hate on ScrewAttack?
Oh God I think I hate the Hyper Jerk... he's such a jerk... I think it's sad if there is an argument, if you're a G1 it means you have something in common with the others here, so it means you can always solve this argument friendly...
40. What are you most proud of?
Wow...I'm proud of My Video Game Knowledge, but there are a lot of very knowledgable guys around Screwattack.
