[Q]: Tell us a little about what got you into gaming?

[A]: I have been a gamer for just about my entire life. Really as long as I can remember. I grew up with an N64! Classics such as GoldenEye and Banjo-Kazooie were some of my first games ever… so thanks Rare!

[Q]: So you were a Rare fan before Sea of Thieves? Do you have any favourite Rare games?

[A]: Oh yeah! GoldenEye taught me everything I know about first-person shooter games. Star Fox Adventures is still one of my favorite games! I can still remember eight-year-old me opening my Christmas present and seeing Banjo-Kazooie in there! I spent hours Rat-a-Tat Rapping and Feathery Flapping all over the place.

[Q]: What games are you playing currently? Any favourites?

[A]: Currently my main games are Sea of Thieves and Assassin's Creed Odyssey. I play those two equally right now. Man, choosing a favorite game is hard. I love Skyrim. I have replayed that game a handful of times, each time discovering some new quest or character I managed to miss the first few times I played.

I also love the Mass Effect series. Those games got me interested in RPGs. As I have gotten older, I realize how much I love being able to step into someone else's shoes for a while. Be the hero (or sometimes villain) of your own story!

[Q]: What was it that first drew you towards Sea of Thieves and its community?

[A]: Pirates. For sure. A game where you get to be a pirate, sail a ship, dig for treasure. It was too much to pass up. Then once I got on and realized how much of a co-operative game it really is… that made it 10 times better. I have made more incredible friendships just over the last six months in SoT than I have in any other online gaming community.
