How many games do you own?
I have more than 150 games and 8 different consoles.
How many hours daily do you play?
About 4 hours daily, one day I woke up at 6 a.m. and I played games all day.
What is your favorite game?
The Last Of Us, and also the new Pokémon game.
What would you do if you couldn’t play videogames?
Play more Yu-Gi-Oh.
Do you feel like you’re addicted to gaming?
Addiction is not the right word; playing videogames is just like breathing.
What does it feel like when you are in the zone while gaming?
I love games because they’re a different life. For example, you are never gonna jump from a building, survive and kill seven guards all at once: you do things you can’t do in real life.
What is your favorite gaming moment?
I really liked when I was playing Mario Kart with Nate we had been trying to beat a certain race for hours, and on our last try a blue shell was shot at us. Then Nate had somehow gotten a banana peel; he used it and it stopped the blue shell, which allowed us to win.
