An interview about my Flash games. This weird journalist emailed me with some questions... and I had to answer them. Normally I keep things like this to myself, but Inglor kept laughing and suggested I should share it with everyone else... so here!
1. What is your full name? How old are you?
none of your business
2. Tell our readers a bit about yourself - Where do you live? What do you study? What do you do for fun? Our readers know very little about the life of young people in Japan, and we'd love to hear about it.
First of all, looking at the question again, Hong Kong isn't part of Japan because they're 3000 km apart. And if that's relevent, I study politics for fun.
3. Do you know how many people played them? Do you have numbers you can share with our readers?
999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
4. What about friends - Do you have many friends? How are they like?
Yes one of my friends taught me how to masturbate in front of a webcam that's why it is essential not to wet the computer screen as well.
5. Where do you see your personal future? What do you want to do when you'll grow up?
Newspaper journalist, definitely!
6. Did you make money of the games? If Not - why? How about advertising?
How about on the title screen, when it said CRAZYMONKEYGAMES presents?
7. How did you react to the game being a Hugh success? How did it make you feel? did it change your life?
Feels like somebody is trying to be a suckup to get me to make this interview.
8. What inspired you to do the games?
Sitting in the sun on an island, holding a cup of tea and watching some girls dancing.
9. Why Do you think Japan is such an entertainment Giant? What is the secret?
Their secret is because they touch themselves in mornings while everyone else does it at night.
10. In your site you write That you don't like to be in the cetner of attention? Why is that? What do you feel when it happends?
I don't like to be the centre of attention because I'm not a FUCKING ATTN WHORE
11. Do you have a girlfriend? What's her name? What did she think of the game?
My romantic life is irrelevant to the online gaming community. I do not answer interviews for public interest nor do I answer such personal questions. I only answer interviews to show people it really isn't hard to make games that are fun. :) I do not do it for attention nor do I seek too much at the moment.
12. Do you have an Idol? Someone who gives you Inspiration?
Yep. He's "Bonse" - here's my favourite MSN convo:
Bonse: hi
Me: hi
Bonse: you know when the score gets to 50 how would i make it goto anouther frame for the win?
Me: any ideas?
Bonse: hit test or something
Me: why hittest?
Bonse: it tests when thenumber gets to 50
13. Do you have Politcal opinions? About Japan, US, Israel, Palestine?
I always heard Palastinians like buttsecks and the Israelis like giving it out in bunches.
14. Do you consider yourself a Geek?
Naa, the only people I consider geeks are the ones who write for online newspapers, what do you think?
15. What's the best thing in Raiden X, In your opinion?
When the preloader reached 100%.
16. What kind of e-mails are you getting about the game? Do you have Fans?
Well, mainly people from newspapers with too many unrelated questions... go figure what drives these people :/
17. Did you get job offers becuase of the games?
Yes. Around 3-4 a day... here's a typical one for a Flash-teaching placement:
