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

[A]: I grew up with a fascination for gaming, so videogames have always held a special place in our home. We own nearly every console since I'm also a collector of these things. The first game to really pull us in was one of the Mario games on the Wii, because we could play it together and this game is hours of fun. Actually, it's probably more like weeks of fun if you add all those hours together.

[Q]: Is gaming something that you get to do often as father and daughter?

[A]: It comes in waves lately now that Emma has so many friends from school to play videogames with, but we still get to play a few times a week. I take what I can get!

[Q]: Were you a Rare fan before Sea of Thieves?

[A]: Absolutely! GoldenEye and Donkey Kong Country were iconic in my teenage years. They were groundbreaking at the time. Visually appealing with tremendous replay value. It's funny to jump back in time and play those games now – lots of things have changed in 20 years. I hope Rare gets the opportunity to revisit those titles someday. Fingers crossed.

[Q]: Do you have any favourite Rare games?

[A]: Sea of Thieves is my favorite game by far. The adventures I've shared in that game have created so many fond memories for me. Also, I’ve made so many friends with shared interests, it's been refreshing for me. I'm a full-time single father and I work from home, so my social life is fairly limited. This game has helped me find friends to play with daily.

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

[A]: Other than Sea of Thieves, you can also catch us playing Rocket League, which is like jet cars playing an aggressive round of soccer. I also enjoy Crackdown 3 which is a big shoot-and-scoot game, filled with explosions and mayhem.

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

[A]: My friend picked up the game and introduced me to it. He actually gave me his old Xbox One so that we could play together. I've since purchased my own Xbox and wireless headset and even picked up a new TV just to play this game. Other than the official Forums, I'm also a part of the community on Reddit and Facebook. I love to share amazing clips with others and see what they share as well. Big loot hauls, epic cannon shots and clutch Arena plays are my favorite!

[Q]: Doing as well as you did in the Battle for Orlando must have been an amazing experience for you both. How did it feel?

[A]: That was a blast! We went there to have fun and I reminded Emma of this on our way there. I tend to get competitive with my regular crew and since we were going to be paired with randoms on unfamiliar equipment, I knew it would be a challenge. Granted, this was the same challenge everyone faced, I'm sure. It was still a blast though!

[Q]: For both of you, what was the highlight of Guardian Con?

[A]: Meeting Jon, Shelley and Jason was the best. We've become familiar with them from the Weekly Streams and Developer Update videos, so it was cool to shake their hands and share my appreciation for the game.
