• My biggest gaming challenge: "I tend to get through video games pretty easily. Sometimes there are some that are a little harder, but I catch on pretty quickly."
• What I think of the music: "I think that it could be better. Most of it is slow, symphonic stuff. For 'Halo 3,' the opening intro is slow orchestral music. They could make it more dynamic, add more notes. Make it faster."
• My dream avatar: "It would probably be completely different from what I look like. I would probably have red hair and a mohawk. I like to mess around and be goofy."
• My gaming device of choice: "XBox 360. But I don't own one."
