Questions 1: What do you enjoy most about the Holidays? 

Answer: The attitudes and feelings of the people. The "Holiday spirit" :D

Questions 2: Can you explain your current activity in the gaming community? What are the games you have enjoyed since you stopped playing Quake 1? 

Answer: Quake 3 of course ;)

Questions 3: In what way do you feel the Quake community has changed since Quake III Arena came out last year? 

Answer: It seems much more serious now, with all the big money tournaments and such.

Questions 4: Have you had a chance to check the Team Arena Demo yet? If so, what do you enjoy the most about it?

Answer: The new modes of play I guess, I'm still in love with vq3 so I'm not all
that excited about it.

Questions 5: With id Software's new project being focused on Doom, is there any features you would like this upcoming game to include?

Answer: That's like asking a person on a full stomach if they want more food. ;) I'm looking forward to better graphics and gameplay.....and hopefully some
good maps for tournament play.

Questions 6: What gamer besides yourself do you feel comes to mind as one of the most respected gamers? This would be someone who you felt is respected not only for his gaming skills but for his/her attitude.

Answer: Fatal1y of course, respected for his skills, but I think respected even more because of his humble attitude.
