(continued from previous page) ...Elite four in Pokemon Blue. Man, it felt so good to actually beat the game. I had gone about halfway through about half a dozen times, but none were as great as actually beating it.

David Wales: It's funny you mention that, I remember playing in the school yard with my huge brick Game Boy and pounding away at the buttons with that title. The original 151 Pokemon were brilliant.

Behemoko: I had bought the Game Boy Pocket (also blue) along with it, so I had a matching pair. To this day I think that trying to get the greatness that was the original 2 games, is a feat that is never again going to happen. Not even Pokemon Yellow was as fun to me.

David Wales: What was your initial reaction to your first online experience through gaming?

Behemoko: Exhilarating! It was Call of Duty 2 for the Xbox 360. I got into the online gaming biz rather late due to having dial-up internet until just over a year ago. I was at a friend’s house for a LAN party, and he had 256k DSL, and one time, instead of just killing each other, we wanted to try online. So, there we were, I was playing, with every pair of eyes watching the 15" monitor that I usually pwned them with, getting my ass handed to me by people who play the game a lot more than even I did.

David Wales: Sounds exactly like the first time I booted up Madden online in 2003. When it comes to gaming, do you prefer the fancy new school of life or do you appreciate the old that got us to where we are today?

Behemoko: Well, I love both, and sometimes when a game seems lackluster, I just try to compare it with a game that was on the original PlayStation, but then I see that that game was the top of its day, and I'm ruining it by comparing it to a game I'm not having much fun with. I do prefer the newer games, and I'm glad they are coming out otherwise I wouldn't really need to get info on them, right? But, I do have the utmost respect for old school. I'm not going to kick into the dirt the thing that brought my appreciation of games to the level it is at today.

David Wales: If you could pick one game to play for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Behemoko: That is a tough one for me. I would actually have to say Gears of War. I love me some Call of Duty, but I get bored after a while. I love me some Twisted Metal 4, but it's just too old to go back to forever. I figure I have to pick a multiplayer game, or it will make me pretty lonely, so I'm left with Gears of War. If I had to pick a non online multiplayer, it would be Twisted Metal 4.

David Wales: You’ve been a member of PSU.com for a long while now, is there anything you’d like to see implemented?

Behemoko: Well. Lately, a lot of things I've asked for have already happened, or even just recently happened. I feel I've already had a hand in making the forum better. I can't actually name one improvement that I've either personally requested or had a hand in requesting that hasn't already been done. I feel like we are listened to. Some people might not feel that way, but most of the time, it is a new member asking for a new rule to be made or altered that has been asked every month or so by a previous "noob."

David Wales: What are a couple of things not too many people know about you on the forums?

Behemoko: I am extremely shy. You probably wouldn't know it if you saw me on there, but even this interview has my heart fluttering. It is the reason I don't have a job. And, as ... (continued on next page)
