WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE TOP 5 GAMES OF ALL TIME (excluding Subspace)?
1) Mortal Kombat (All of them. I'd list all four but they are basically the same game with different characters so I'll count them as one.)
2) Donkey Kong (The classic version)
3) Top Gun
4) Zaxxon
5) Spy Hunter
(Most of these games are old, but they drained the greatest amount of my time and money. A local arcade STILL has a working Spy Hunter game. The thing must be at least 12 years old but it still gets played rather frequently.)

WHICH PLAYER IN THE GAME DO YOU ADMIRE THE MOST AND WHY?
Tryam (Founder of Doomsday)
He is the cleanest player I know of, and I know pretty much everyone. He's one of the few players that doesn't have to play like a lamer to achieve an all around excellent record, (Win/Loss, Rating, Average Kill). He always backs up his team and is one of the few people that are consistently safe to attach to when he calls for help. And he has a cute ass. ;-)

AS A WINNER IN THE GAME WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO NEW PLAYERS?
Whatever you do, don't play like a lamer. Set your standards higher than everyone else and never compromise. Minefields or firing bombs into a crowd while you idle at a safe distance result in hollow victories. Beating your enemy on even terms are the only victories that really mean anything. I'd like to use the cliche about how winning doesn't matter and that it's how you play the game that does, but I don't really believe that. Both count.

HAS THE INTERNET CHANGED YOUR LIFE IN ANY MEANINGFUL WAY?
Yes. It has provided me with a way to work at home which I absolutely love. The traffic in Miami is horrible.

DOES TECHNOLOGY INCREASE OR DECREASE MORALITY?
It depends on the individual. One person will use the Internet as a means to send the newest pictures of his baby to his relatives while his neighbor uses it to view child pornography. This is a difficult question to answer because technology is too broad of a term.

WHO WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT MAN OF THE 20TH CENTURY?
Albert Einstein

DO YOU HAVE ANY RELIGIOUS BELIEFS? IF SO, WHY/WHY NOT?
I believe in a higher power, but I find most contemporary religions hard to swallow. Just that a group as large as the Muslims can look at a group as large as the Christians and think they will burn in Hell while the Christians think the same about them is almost comical. Who's to say who is right? I refuse to believe that a person can go through life without intentionally hurting another soul, live a good existence, help others in need, and when they die they burn for eternity because they made the mistake of being born into a certain religion. If there is a God, I picture him as a being who has given us absolute free will. The power to make our own good and our own evil. He would have done this because free will is what gives every action substance. If we were programmed to act nice all the time and had no other choice other than acting like a good person, it wouldn't mean anything. We need evil. Not only do we need it, but it has to be easier than good, it has to be desireable, and it has to have real consequences even if it's at the expense of a good person. We need evil because it makes being a good person real. It makes the act of choosing the good path count. It may seem harsh for a God to sit back and watch a three year old get raped, but if he interfered, our existence would mean less because of it. Assign the blame to those that deserve it. God didn't give us free will just so he could tap us on the shoulder everytime we begin to screw up and let us know that we should stop acting that way. We have free will so our few decades in this universe count for something.

DO YOU HAVE A FAVOURITE PHILOSOPHER?
Fyodor Dostoevsky (I hope I spelled that right)

IF YOU WERE STRANDED WITH 100 OTHER PEOPLE ON AN ISLAND WHAT SKILLS DO YOU HAVE THAT WOULD HELP THE COMMUNITY?
Survival skills I learned in the Marines. Some hunting and fishing skills. Limited medical experience. And, I'm a pretty good story teller for those late nights around
the campfire while we sipped coconut wine. ;-)

WHAT IS THE NEXT BIG TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION THAT YOU THINK WILL OCCUR?
Telephone, television, and computer integration. I know it is already happening, but I mean in a way that actually works well.

IF YOU HAD THE CHANCE TO SAY SOMETHING TO A HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?
Hello.
