Here is chefprotoss' Interview
1. Age? Gender?
25, male
2. What brought you to ScrewAttack?
I wanted to say something about porn, but it was the Nerd.
3. What's your favorite piece of your game collection?
I never thought about it before, so I'll go with The Legend of Zelda Collectors Edition. My Gamecube came with a sweet Zelda shirt, does that count?
4. What's your favorite game or games?
Right now I'm replaying the MGS series, it's so frickin' well done!I will go with that,the Metal Gear series.
5. Wha't was the first console you owned?
NES, HELL YEAH!!! I didn't get one untill 87. Those two years I didn't have one were the worst from my childhood.
6. Where were you born and raised?
I am from an Air Force family. My parents were never married so I would live with my mom most of the time, and my dad the rest of the time. I never had to deal with my parents splitting up, so it didn't bother me. I did get to live all over the place as a kid and that was pretty sweet. Here's a list of the places that I am "from",Northern CA, Florida, Italy, England, Pheonix, and Southern CA to list a few. Now I reside in the DC Metro area.
7. What are some g1 blogs the you check up on?
Well there's the popular Debaser and Kusanagi. Keavy Rain and Farmhouse deserve much more attention.
8. Whose works in other forms of media, such as film and literature, do you enjoy?
Neil Gaiman is a genius. Daron Aronofsky's "Pi" has shown me that anyone can make one of the greatest movies ever with little or no budget. Faith No More is fantastic. Patton=god.
9. What are some of your favorite non-gaming hobbies or past-times?
I used to skate, but now I have no health insurance. Writting music is a passion of mine. I love the bright lights of casinos. Does a trip to Atlantic City count?
10. If you could have a super power, what would you choose?
I can tell you what I wouldn't want. In The New Mutants comic, there was a guy who could speak any language. That's it,the awesome power of never having a lack of a way to communicate. What a douche.
11. What is your favorite subject (school)?
Ummmm....lunch? Actually, latin was a blast.
12. Who is your favorite developer?
Rockstar. While other game developers bow to anti-violence gaming groups,Rockstar gives them the finger. They make more money because of it. Television and radio should take notes on how to deal with the FCC from Rockstar.
13. Who do you enjoy playing games with?
Hmmmmm... can beer be a person?
14. Have you ever been in a life or death situation?
I've had to go to the hospital because I'm and idiot several times
15. Was it hard for you to learn how to tie your shoes?
I had to learn how to tie my shoes during the peak of the 80's velcro phase... so yes.
16. What has been a good movie you've seen recently at the theaters?
Hand's down that would be "Cloverfield". As a bonus my girlfriend got sick. Two for one!
17. If you could change anything about the g1s or ScrewAttack, what would it be?
Put more god damned effort into your blogs. Every good one is a lot of hard work. If your not a fan of EFFORT, don't bother. Other than that SA kicks ass!
18. In your opinion, what games has revolutionized its particular genre or the gaming world?
Mario anything, anytime. 1,2,3,world and 64 all paved new ground for all of gaming culture.
19. What is your favorite video game soundtrack?
This is the only way to answer this question.
MSX FM from GTA 3. Dnb is the soundtrack to my life.
20. What would you say are the good ingredients for a excellent fighting game?
Balence, how developers miss this I will never understand. Also,Cool characters in a proper setting. Demension traveling ninja robots? Mortal Kombat is so confusing. It's like Ed Boon uses every idea he's ever had, good or bad, at the same god damned time. Whatever happened to ninjas in Japan? Guilty Gear gets it right.
21. What defines "cool" in a video game?
Sex and drugs, but if your under 18, whatever Nintendo tells you is "cool".
22. When you are stumped on a game, what is your process of working it out?
I usually don't. I have a short attention span. I also tend to rationalize the situation by saying it's the games fault.
23. What game have you played and was surprised to finish so early?
Final Fantasy Tactics. I missed the whole Cloud part.
24. What franchise should be remade?
Brave Fencer Musashi. YEAHHH! It won't happen though.
25. What do you have to say about the download requirements for most PS3 games?
Since I don't have a PS3 I think they are equally kickass and lame.
26. What is the worst game you have ever played?
The Street Fighter 2 Tiger handheld. They tricked me!
27. What game has the most FUNK?
Sid Meier's Civilization can't be beat.
28. Are you a fan of the rhythm-based genre (if so what games do you enjoy)?
I played Drummania at an amusement park a few years ago. After that I knew rythem games would be HUGE! I haven't played Rock Band, but I love the Guitar Hero series. I can play several instruments, so of course I love GH.
29. Who is your Goose?
As a male in my mid twenty's that term comes up a lot in bars, and the kitchen's I work in. There are many "Maverics" and many "Geese".
30. What would you do if I gave you a monkey suit, a broken toilet, a fruit basket, fifty pounds of 2x4's, twenty-five gallons of wood glue, and a box of matches?
Perform the worlds most elaborate and poitless bank robbery.
31. What's your favorite cereal?
Mixing CocoPuffs with Peanut Butter Captian Crunch is the path to flavor town.
32. Is there anyway to stop Soulja Boy?
I have no clue, but if anyone can tell me, please do. I frickin' hate that guy.
33. Where do you spend most of your time on ScrewAttack?
The blogs
34. What do you like to do when hanging with friends?
Nothing beats a BBQ. Once it gets dark the NES becomes the center of attention.
35. Whats your favorite place to eat at and whats your favorite food?
The less english the cook speaks, the better the food.... usualy. This does not pertain to chain restuarants. The owner of a restuarant I was the sous chef at, had another restuarant called "The Soup and Taco ect..." They had two items on the menu and whatever else they felt like making. That place was gastronomic heaven.
36. Would you like to add anything else or say anything to the community?
If you see a blog you like, support it. These things are a lot of hard work. If it's a text blog, digg rate and comment. If its a video, subscribe to their youtube page. G1 bloggers try very hard to entertain, they do it for free, and ask for nothing in return. If you do your part as a viewer, everyone wins.
