[WINNERS] Beyond the Game: FIFA 09

(continued from previous page) ...to take part in. However, FIFA worked out great because of the Fancy Footwork track fitting perfectly within the entire framework of soccer.”
From games he plays to games he’d like to be featured in, P-Thugg shared it all, but what surprised me most from this conversation was how he answered the question: “What gaming moment sticks out the most for you?” I never expected to receive the answer I did, but I was suitably impressed when he told me.
“I spent a lot of time on Mike Tyson’s Punch Out and the Legend of Zelda. I was crazy on Zelda. I made hand maps of the entire game just to be able to finish it in like half an hour. I bought graphing paper to build these maps that were replicas of the ones found in the game. I was only 13 and I was redoing maps with all the secrets and where everything was placed. It was crazy. I was making my own walkthroughs, we didn’t have the internet to look this stuff up.”
That’s crazy, right? I couldn’t even imagine doing something like that myself. Once I had all of my gaming-related questions answered, I wanted to know how P-Thugg first got into the art form known as the talk box and who influenced him the most.
“Roger Troutman. He was in the band Zap & Roger. He was pretty much my one and only influence in regards to the Talk Box. Computer Love was a song I heard when I was 15 and I knew I had to play it. I started shopping around for it, but it was really hard to find, but I finally found one in Montreal. It was in the corner of a store, full of dust, it was a rare find. I took it home, shined it up and got to it."
"My favorite talk box songs are by Roger Troutman, Zap & Roger, DJ Quick, and Blackstreet. So many guys like Teddy Riley and DJ Quick are like me where they grabbed their inspiration from Roger Troutman. California Love is one of Roger Troutman’s best songs. Troutman is pretty much a legend and has inspired a big portion of the music industry.”
As a last blast (be forewarned, this may sound a bit odd), the best part of the entire discussion I had with P-Thugg was hearing about how he and his buddies used to make the late night drive to my hometown in order to pick up Taco Bell. Apparently Montreal wasn’t home to any of those tasty taco treats, so they were forced to go 45 minutes to satisfy that hunger.
I want to thank P-Thugg for taking the time to answering these questions for me and for providing an awesome feature for our readers to enjoy. Some of my favorite tracks of theirs include Momma’s Boy, Bonafied Lovin’ and Fancy Footwork. All three tracks can be found on their latest album, Fancy Footwork. For those of you who want to hear more of what Chromeo has to offer, now is your chance. Much like with Jupiter One, PlayStation Universe is proud to give away two copies of FIFA Soccer 09 bundled with a 'DELUX' copy of Fancy Footwork (features a two-disc compilation of videos, remixes and the entire album).
This contest is open to EUROPE ONLY (as I promised in the last Beyond the Game). Enter by leaving your comments below, and we’ll announce winners by Friday night at 11:59 PM EST. As with the Burnout Paradise giveaway, I’ll be using a random number generator to pick this feature’s lucky winners. Good luck everyone.

Hey, send it to me so I can change my preference from PES to FIFA ;)
Respect for these guys since they are trying to forget the pressure/problems arabs and jews are facing.
