1.What is your position at PALGN?
Editor.
2. What country / state are you in?
Australia / South Australia.
3. Favourite Game/s of all time?
Day of Defeat, the Half Life mod, is right up there. Almost perfectly balanced online shooter with many fantastic maps. Of course, like everybody else, Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64 are games I have very fond memories of. There are many more, but I think those three stand up above the rest.
4. Least Favourite Games?
Last year I had the misfortune of having to review GT-R 400, which had basically no redeeming features at all. I shudder at the thought of playing that again. Thankfully, I can't recall playing a game as bad as that this decade.
GT-R 400, one of Brendan's "favourite" games...
5. What do you do aside from PALGN?
I'm currently a student attending university. Isn't that thrilling? Spending a lot of time looking for some part time retail work over the past few weeks, too, so hopefully that leads somewhere. As far as other stuff goes, I'm a big fan of cricket, ice hockey (The NHL is back! Yeah!) and heavy metal. I play the drums, too.
6. If you were locked in a room with someone for all eternity who would you want it to be?
There is no single person I could tolerate for that long.
7. What consoles do you own?
Lots! Of this generation, I have the big three; PS2, Xbox and the GCN. I hope to add a NDS to this sometime soon.
8. What will be your next game purchase?
I have just ordered Initial D: Special Stage on PS2. The cartoon made me buy it, heh. Now I just have to wait for it to arrive in the mail...
We know what Brendan's currently playing...
9. Why do you write for PALGN?
Lots of reasons, really. I can't shake this hobby of games, being one. Improving my writing ability, being two.
10. What upcoming game are you most anticipating?
There's a heap of games that I'm looking forward too, but nothing I'm about to kill anybody over. Battalion Wars on the GCN is probably the pick of the bunch at this stage.
11. In your opinion what's the most irritating game ever released?
Irritating game? What the hell kind of question is that? You're fired.
12.What games are you currently playing?
Most of my gaming is on the PC, at the moment. Day of Defeat still gets a fair amount of attention, as does Battlefield 2. Codename Panzers: Phase Two has seen a bit of playtime over the past few days, and I should have a review up on it soon. I'm loving Street Fighter III: Third Strike in the Xbox anniversary collection, too - I don't care how cheap Akuma is, either.
