This was my first and only Featured User interview to date. Enjoy!


 * 1) 1. Q) What is your favorite Sonic gameplay? (Classic, Adventure, Unleashed, Rush, or something else)
 * A) It's definitely either Colors (2D) and Generations (3D). Colors had amazing 2D platforming: the Jump Dash and the double-jump made everything just a bit easier. The gimmicks and level design made platforming a ton more enjoyable. Generations nailed the boost; the gameplay is amazingly fast, but it's also something I can play while I sit back and relax.


 * 1) 2. Q) Do you have any current editing projects?
 * A) I started a bunch of projects that I never finished... I just don't have the willpower and attention span to get through a large-scale project. For example, I started making pages for Challenge Acts in Sonic Generations, but I end up making two or three pages at a time, then waiting a few months before I come back to it. I also made started making pages for Sonic Chronicles enemies, but the process of finding stats, info, and screenshots bored me. Right now, I'm trying to find pages with potential and improve them to Featured Article standards.


 * 1) 3. Q) What was the most annoying boss you've faced in a Sonic game?
 * A) Time Eater, hands down. It was easy, but way too monotonous and frustrating. Not like Perfect Dark Gaia frustrating, when you're frustrated with yourself, but like a "why-in-the-world-is-Sega-doing-this-to-me" frustrating. Besides, IT LOOKS LIKE A HOMING SHOT!


 * 1) 4. Q) Are there any movies you are planning to see?
 * A) I haven't seen Monsters University yet, but I probably will by the end of the year. I've seen and heard a lot of good reviews on it, and it looks like another great Pixar movie. Other than that, I really, really, really want to see "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" when it comes out this December. It's gonna be awesome! (Lord of the Rings FTW)


 * 1) 5. Q) What is your favorite level from a Sonic game?
 * A) Oooooh, that's a toughie. I can't really say; I love quite a few levels. If I had to choose, I guess it would be Rooftop Run Act 2 from Sonic Generations. The enemies, the shortcuts, the Quick Step sections, the glitches, the scenery (the colors feel so right!)... it's all pretty great. I like Terminal Velocity, too, for some reason. I guess I just like getting flung around for no reason.


 * 1) 6. Q) How and when did you first hear of the Sonic series?
 * A) Super Smash Bros. Brawl had just been released, and a friend of mine had just bought it. So one day I visited him, and he asked me if I wanted to play Brawl. So at the character select screen, I was overwhelmed by the number of characters to choose from, so I chose the first thing that caught my eye: Sonic. I had some trouble figuring out what he was supposed to be. So I played. The entire time I'm thinking "What is this thing supposed to be?" and "Wow, he turns into a blue ball of light when he jumps!" and "How in the world am I going this fast?" and "How did I do that weird attack when I moved from one place to another just so I could attack an opponent?" It was pretty fun, though. At the time, I was new to video games, and I had no idea that Super Smash Bros. was a crossover game. Years later, a kid about my age moved into the house next to mine. (He's still there, by the way) He liked the Mario franchise, but was starting to get bored of the series' redundancy.
 * So, one day, he told me about this new video game franchise.
 * It was about a blue hedgehog that could run at the speed of sound. Its name was Sonic.
 * He came over to my house and brought Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity with him. It was pretty great. Soon he let me borrow Sonic Unleashed and the first Riders game... by then I was hooked.
 * That summer, I searched eBay for as many Sonic games as I could find and bought them all.
 * I'm glad I did.


 * 1) 7. Q) Besides Sonic Lost World, what game are you looking forward to the most?
 * A) Wait...no! That's not fair! You took my main option from me! Oh, well... aside from Sonic Lost World (man, I'm really looking forward to it!), I guess I'm excited for Super Smash Bros. 4. The trailers pretty much explain everything. I also want to check out Rayman Legends; hopefully that'll be good.


 * 1) 8. Q) Are there any games you don't like that has gotten mostly good reviews?
 * A) Actually, I don't think so.
 * I'm pretty tolerant when it comes to video games.


 * 1) 9. Q) School is coming back (for many people it already has), so what would be your favorite school subject?
 * A) Math. By far.
 * I just like numbers. Everything fits together like a charm. In the words of Portal's Curiosity Core: "Ooh! That thing has numbers on it!"


 * 1) 10. Q) Well, this is the last question of the interview, how did it feel to have your first Featured User interview?
 * A) I feel... special.  :)
 * This was a pretty rough interrogation, though.
 * But I'm happy anyway. It's just another thing that makes my day.
