Quote question: How do you feel about winning Featured User?

Pretty good, I feel estatic (whatever that means)


 * 1) 1. Q) What first attracted you to the wiki?

I had been a Sonic fan for quite a while before I came, pretty much the only game that'd plant a smile on my face. I was unregistered for a while. Then, I made an account so I could upload images.


 * 1) 2. Q) What was your first Sonic game?

Shadow the Hedgehog. My first Sonic game, which was the game belonging to my absolute favourite character. Inside the box, was a little pamphlet advertising other SEGA titles, that's when I became a Sonic fan


 * 1) 3. Q) Did you ever make a fan-character?

I made several at one stage, but scrapped them all except one: EXP. EXP is a chameleon (obvious recolor of Espio) who appears a lot with Namesiw (SalaComMander's fc). It's often wondered where the origin of EXP's name comes from. One day, I was tryin' to make a fan character, so I modified an Espio sprite. After finishing it, I was saving it, but couldn't think of a file name. I quickly typed "EXP.png" (with EXP being short for experimental, as he was merely an experimental fc), then I thought EXP has a nice ring to it, so I kept it.


 * 1) 4. Q) Who are your friends on the wiki?

My best friend was 58SlugDrones! She left a long time ago, we were pretty close. I have a lot of other good friends such as Myself 123, Ultimatedude127, Sacorguy79, Jake the Hedgehog, Bullet Francisco, SalaComMander, and alot of others (anyone I left out, I swear I didn't do it on purpose!)


 * 1) 5. Q) Anything that particularly frustrates you about the wiki?

I used to get annoyed when users would copy ideas like the scrolling image code. I used to get really annoyed about talkbubbles. It was actually one of the reasons why I left SNN a while ago. I'd come home from school, check a few message on dA, then I'd come to SNN only to find a couple of users asking for me to make them a talkbubble. This happened on several occasions, and was really a chore.


 * 1) 6. Q) Any pet projects or ideas you have for SNN?

Currently, I'm in comic-making. I'm making a comic based on the story of EarthBound, but I'm using Sonic characters. I named it MobiusBound.


 * 1) 7. Q) What are your other interests beyond Sonic?

My biggest interests would be Dragon Ball Z, Metal Gear Solid, The Legend of Zelda and Mother (EarthBound)


 * 1) 8. Q) What's your fondest memory of your time on the wiki?

I suppose the day I became an Administrator. Man, I felt like such an acheiver that day. It really gave me a sense of purpose on SNN


 * 1) 9. Q) Who were your biggest inspirations on the wiki?

I comics are my pride 'n' joy!


 * 1) 10. Q) What are your plans for your future on the wiki?

When I FINALLY finish MobiusBound, I'll probably start a Mother 3 parody. After that, I'm gonna take a long cooling off period (from comic-making, not editing) until I feel like making comics again.

Ok, so there ya go, that's the interview completed -- 'Murphyshane -  熱! Don't click here '  17:06, November 7, 2012 (UTC)

Interview
Ah, nostalgia. We've used this place before. Anyway, I can do the interview at any time. -- 'Murphyshane -  熱! Don't click here '  16:58, October 7, 2014 (UTC)

How do you feel about being Featured User?


 * Pretty good. It's always an honour.


 * 1) 1. Q) To you, what is the most iconic Sonic game?
 * Well, to me, the most iconic Sonic game will always be Shadow the Hedgehog. It was my first Sonic game, which I played when I was 10. It got me interested in the series, and if it were not for that game, I'd likely have never joined the SNN. Shadow was also kinda like a role model to me growing up. I wanted to be just like him.


 * 1) 2. Q) What's your favorite Mobian species (counting the comics and other non-game materials)?
 * Never put much thought into that. Though it's not really a species, I've always like the robots in the games. I've always liked Emerl, Gamma, Beta, Omega, Gemerl as well as several other robots in the series. We laugh at Eggman for his fails, but to give the guy credit, he can work up some cool machines, of course with a few exceptions.


 * 1) 3. Q) What are your thoughts on Message Walls vs Talkpages?
 * I follow the phrase "If it's not broke, don't fix it". Wikia has taken so many twists and turns over the years, mainly the eradication of the Monaco skin. The wiki I grew up in...is gone. In any case, the Message Walls are another example of a change. I'm not completely against them, but I do prefer talk pages.


 * 1) 4. Q) Where do you think the wiki could stand to improve?
 * Hm, good question. Honestly, I think we are improving. Little by little. Rome wasn't built in a day, and a top wiki is a process. I think that this wiki improves just a small bit everyday, giving it no real field that it lacks in.


 * 1) 5. Q) Do you think the wiki should have a section for fanon and manmade materials again?
 * I do not. The Sonic Fanon Wiki serves this purpose. They seem to be a slight distraction.


 * 1) 6. Q) Despite Shadow and Silver having unique powers on top of super speed, Sonic manages to keep up with or even outdo them; why do you think this is?
 * I never looked at it that way. In stories, we often see that a pure, brave heart turns out to be the winner. In other words, the underdog is the one that achieves. Sorta like a David & Goliath story. In this case, Sonic is the pure hearted hero, who has more will to win than the others. On top of this, Sonic makes the best of what he can use and does not take his opponent for granted. Finally, Sonic always has his friends behind him when undertaking a serious task. The evil side is normally alone, a single great power, but the heroes form a team and work together. I can think of a couple of scrapes Sonic's been in where he would've been defeated if it wasn't for the help of his friends.


 * 1) 7. Q) What character do you think has the most potential, if SEGA would just make more use of them?
 * I think Espio would fit this description. Espio has some decent fan support, and in my opinion, he's a pretty cool character. But we never really see Espio make a large appearance in the games. His most dominant appearance was likely in Sonic Heroes. Honestly, I think he's hindered by Charmy and Vector. Perhaps if Sega put him in another solo mission like in Sonic Rivals 2 he may become a more interesting character.


 * 1) 8. Q) Say SEGA makes a Sonic game set in an entirely new genre; what do you think would be the best choice?
 * I suppose a third person shooter would be rather interesting. Now, that sounds rather "heavy" for a Sonic game, but it doesn't necessarily have to be a lethal shooter. Star Fox Assault is an example of a third person shooter which was not lethal. Weapons used were lasers and whatnot. The Sonic games could do something similar. And besides, we've had guns in Sonic games before. Like in Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic Adventure 2.


 * 1) 9. Q) Thoughts on the Sonic Boom games and TV series, based on the up to date info?
 * I haven't paid much attention to Sonic Boom at all. It doesn't really interest me.


 * 1) 10. Q) Would you read a Sonic-based novel?
 * I suppose I would. I don't normally read novels, but I enjoy manga. Perhaps if a Sonic manga was created, I'd read it.

Don't worry about the lateness of this interview. I don't mind. -- 'Murphyshane -  熱! Don't click here '  16:19, October 8, 2014 (UTC)
