Dennis Fong (aka Thresh)

FG: What's the most underrated game ever?
DF:
Underrated, or under-hyped? I don't know of many underrated games, but there are plenty of under-hyped games on the market right now. Thief: The Dark Project comes to mind.

FG: Have you ever lied to an arcade attendant to get a free credit?
DF:
Not that I recall.

FG: Who in the games industry do you most admire?
DF:
I've been a big id Software fan ever since I started playing games, so I'd have to say that John Carmack, the mastermind behind all of their games, would be the person I admire most.

FG: What was the first videogame you ever played?
DF:
Gosh, that's a long time back to remember. I think the first videogame I played was Pong.

FG: Have you ever cancelled a date to play a videogame?
DF:
Errr, umm, uhhh, no, never! (Okay, maybe just once, but it was an important clan match, promise...)

FG: What videogame websites do you have bookmarked?
DF: Well, of course I bookmark my own, Firingsquad.com. Aside from that, I usually peruse the news site, such as Voodoo Extreme (which kicks much ass), and Blues.

FG: Did you ever own a Jaguar?
DF:
A what? Heh heh, no I didn't. Wouldn't mind the car, though.

FG: What game are you most looking forward to playing?
DF:
Without a doubt the most anticipated game for me, and probably most of the online gaming community, is Quake 3: Arena. I got my start in online gaming with Doom, and have been a fan of id Software ever since.

FG: What's the first game you look for in an arcade?
DF:
I don't go to arcades much anymore, but back when I did, the only game I really played was Street Fighter II.

FG: Ever played a videogame in the nude?
DF:
Umm, no. Have you?
