The Amazing Spider-Matt:

Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?: I’m Matt, online known as The Amazing Spider-Matt. I’m 29. I have a beard. I’ve been a gamer since I’ve had memories. My first memory is hitting my head on the corner of a table but my second memory is of my Dad setting up an Atari during a thunderstorm. I’m also a comic collector, and have been collecting since I was about five years old.

What is your geeky tattoo of and why did you get it?: My newest tattoo is a Hylian Shield and the Master Sword from Legend of Zelda. I chose this piece because I’m a lifelong gamer and I’ve always been a fan of the game. It’s the third tattoo I’ve gotten, but so far my favorite. Several years ago I got “THWIP!” on my other arm by a friend who was experimenting in tattoo work, and it didn’t turn out great so I had it touched up professionally and then added a red and blue spider next to it.

Any plans for future tattoos?: I actually want a sleeve on both arms. My left will showcase my love of comic books, and my right will be dedicated to all things gaming. I eventually also want a TARDIS on my back (and my wife wants to add ‘Bad Wolf’ tagging to it like it’s symbolically for her).

What games are you currently playing?: We recently purchased an old school NES/SNES console so I’ve been replaying the original Dragon Warrior as well as Legend of Zelda. I’ve also been playing the new Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword on the Wii U. Every now and again I’ve been throwing on Witcher 2 for the Xbox 360.

If you could live in any video game for a month, which would it be and why?: I think just being in the video game world doesn’t necessarily mean I would be a part of the activities, so I’d say Legend of Zelda but I’d probably end up just being a disgruntled peasant. If I were to pick one where I could gain powers, I’d pick any Marvel licensed game.

If you were on a deserted island what video game, comic/book, movie, TV show would you bring?:

Video Game: Travelers Tales Walking Dead Game

Comic Book: Saga. In Brian K. Vaughn’s own words, “It’s like Star Wars, but for perverts.”

Movie: Fifth Element. I can watch that over and over again and never get bored.

TV Show: The Walking Dead.
