========================================================

1) Your first experience playing Guitar Hero:
- Winter break 2005-2006. I came home from a ski trip to my older brother (popemobile) playing guitar hero in our family room. First song I played was Iron Man on Medium.

2) How did you discover Guitar Hero:
- From my older brother. I believe he saw it at Best Buy and bought it.
- Bonus story: My older brother also found Score Hero on the internet somehow. I vividly remember the first time he told be about it and that some guy (ES942) had 350k on Cowboys From Hell on expert. That was a pivotal moment for my aspirations with Guitar Hero.

3) Who's the most influential player to you:
- ES942, the true godfather of GH exceptionalism.
- Honorable mention is the microgammer Jordan tapping video.

4) Your best skillset:
- Fully understanding the charts, mechanics of a game, and methods for how to FC songs. This has resulted in pretty ridiculous consistency which is what has allowed for me to get the scores I did.

5) Your worst skillset:
- Alt tapping. This in combination with the lack of the above is why I'm so dogshit at customs :)

6) The weirdest place you've played Guitar Hero in:
- Really at any tournament/meetup setting back in 2007/2008. They were a ton of fun but were very different from playing in my house.

7) Your favorite official song to play:
- Cowboys From Hell (GH1X)

8) Your favorite official song to listen to:
- Heart Full of Black, All of This, Monkey Wrench, Beast and the Harlot, Seventeen.

9) Your favorite custom song to play:
- Warmen - Salieri Strikes Back (Galiath chart 2nd version)

10) Your favorite custom song to listen to:
- Tapped Out - Mike Orlando

11) Your favorite pattern:
- Zigs or descending trips

12) Your least favorite pattern:
- Ascending trips. I am terrible at One and Twin Solo.

13) Your proudest FC:
- FC: Because, It's Midnite 1st ever FC.
- Score: Get Ready 2 Rokk 311,760.

14) The saddest choke you've had:
- Cowboys From Hell 490,500. This is an FC with 3 doubles and I have choked it at least 3 times.

15) Your biggest fluke:
- Spanish Castle Magic 208,488 (optimal). First time getting the double in a run and then also the first time I got the subsequent solo activation.

- Honerable Mentions:
	- Raining Blood 100% 1230 Note Streak w/ overstrum after the trills. I got this on Dec 2nd 2007 (GH3 was released on Oct 28th), which was almost 2 months before the 1st ever FC by JLC on Jan 31st 2008. This run was a complete accident and maybe was the 1st time
	- Fire it Up 100% oversturm. I got this on Sep 15th 2007, which was almost 5 months before the 1st ever FC by f4phantom on Feb 13th 2008. This run didn't have FC potential like Raining Blood, but it still came out of nowhere and was the first 100% of Fire it Up by a mile.

16) An overdue achievement for you:
- Jordan 2nd FC ever. Choked like 10 times and I was so happy that it was finally over when I got it.

17) Your truest practice partner/rival:
- HellAshes. The GH2 Jordan FC rivalry was the peak rivalry at the time and amazing scores came out of the whole process for a lot of people.

18) Your favorite up and coming player:
- JPrez44 squeezing on console. Understandably, he isn't actively grinding anymore. But he's easily the player with the most potential for GH1, GH2, and GH80s. He is the only person that I believe can take GH1X first from me.

19) Your favorite FC from another player:
- Psychobilly Freakout Upper Bound on Hard by tannernieland11

20) An FC you really want to see happen:
- Psychobilly Freakout Upper Bound on Expert

21) Your favorite setlist
- Guitar Hero 1

22) Your favorite charter
- Galiath and GHX

23) Your favorite Guitar Hero related meme:
- Kingofterrors choking on Freebird https://youtu.be/Fk5su2M1wgU?t=230

24) A chart you're nostalgic about:
- Trippolette. I remember the only way to view the chart was through the VGS Player app or whatever that was at the time. That song was very humbling and the community opinion was that it was absolutely impossible. I finally got around to playing it for the first time in 2013 and I FCed it within 2 hours of attempts. This was the starting point of my 1st place run on GH1 back in 2013-2014. FC video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuHOyq7bZEk

25) Your favorite Guitar Hero game and character:
- Game: Guitar Hero 1
- Character: Izzy Sparks for GH1, GH2 and GH80s. Casey Lynch for GH3.

26) A song that really needs an overhcart:
- Anything by DJ S3RL

27) Which is harder to FC, Universes or TTFAF:
- Universes. This is a stupid question lol.

28) A retired player you admire:
- ES942, ggamerman, Kegermann.

29) Your favorite livestream moment
- Probably when I FCed Get Ready 2 Rokk and Texas Flood within like 1 hour of each other during one stream on Ustream.
- Videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzJ4CJJeyz8 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74fYBPbBHUI

30) The best FC reaction in your opinion
- Probably Chris FCing TTFAF for the first time.
