Interviews

  • Always Find A Way To Live Life To The Fullest

    I, like most people, tend to hold celebrities in higher regard than non-celebrities. Christopher Walken is one of my favorite actors; Walter Payton ranks at the top of my list of heroes; and having dinner with Kevin Mitnick sits firmly at number 2 on my bucket list; (number one has been, and always will be,… Continue reading

  • A Measure of Athletic Fitness

    A Measure of Athletic Fitness

    A few months back, I came across some interviews I did back in 2005. Finding them buried in the Area 51 of my computer archive inspired me to do some more. This time though, instead of focusing exclusively on the gaming community, I reached out to some of my Nerdcore friends and bleeding disorder community… Continue reading

  • Interview: American McGee Revisted

    Interview: American McGee Revisted

    There are very few things I am more passionate about than gaming. And passion doesn’t really describe my love for the Quake series of games, specifically Quake II (Lithium mod’s grappling hook and double-barreled shotgun). I recently found some old 2005 interviews I did with Tom Hall, Michael Abrash, and American McGee. Put these three… Continue reading

  • A Boy Named Johnny

    Following my interview with Vaughn Ripley, I was lucky enough to interview Johnny R. I’ve never actually met Johnny; however, I have talked to his mom a lot and given her insight into life as a hemophiliac. So, I will save you all the trouble of reading an introduction I couldn’t possibly write and let Johnny’s… Continue reading

  • Superman Is Not As Innately Cool As Vaughn

    Superman Is Not As Innately Cool As Vaughn

    If you’re a regular reader here, you know I am a hemophiliac. Three times a week, I inject (called infusing) a medication called Kogenate FS. Kogenate gives me the factor of my blood I am missing, the missing factor is what makes me a hemophiliac. What you might not know is that my formative years… Continue reading

  • Interview: American McGee – Quake Revisited Part 4

    Interview: American McGee – Quake Revisited Part 4

    In 2005 I was honored with the opportunity to interview some of my favorite developers in the gaming community: Tom Hall, Michael Abrash and American McGee. I’m still waiting for John Carmack and John Romero, but in the meant time, I am going to finish my Quake Revisited series with my American McGee interview. At the time… Continue reading

  • Quake Revisited Part 3 – DOOMed

    Quake Revisited Part 3 – DOOMed

    In Part 3 of my Quake Revisited Interview series, I jump over to id Software’s other classic, the amazing DOOM. Here I give you my 2005 interview with actor Razaaq Adoti. Shortly before the release of Universal Pictures’ movie DOOM, I got to chat with Mr. Adoti. Despite all of the criticism about the movie, Mr.… Continue reading

  • Quake Revisited – Part 2

    As I’ve mentioned multiple times, the Quake series of games are my all time favorites. Not too long ago I posted an interview with Tom Hall I conducted in 2005. As promised, though later than I intended, here is my interview with Michael Abrash. Michael Abrash is without a doubt a gifted programmer and author.… Continue reading

  • Dinner With Billy The Fridge

    Dinner With Billy The Fridge

    If you’re a regular reader here you know I am a HUGE nerdcore fan. And I am lucky to call a number of musicians “friend.” Last night, finally, I got to sit down with Billy the Fridge and we talked while eating dinner with my mom at Super China Buffet. Unlike other times I got… Continue reading
