heres quadraptor's interview, now on to snipez...
gamefreak:nice to interview you quad, but, on to your first question; how did you come up with your name?
quadraptor: Well a long time ago I was a big dinosaur fan (well, I still am today), but for a while I was only familiar with the really popular dinosaurs, so my favorite for the longest was the Stegosaurus. Then Jurassic Park came out and I got to see it, and from then on I was obsessed with Velociraptors. I had no idea what I wanted to name myself, so I just went with "Raptor".
Soon after I found out there was already someone on Quake named "Raptor", so I tacked "Quad" at the beginning of the name so it would be a Quake-related name.
QuadRaptor literally means "The Four Raptors", which basically I'm trying to say that when I attack, I will ambush my prey and try to attack from all sides. It's supposed to be a name to be feared....kinda....haha.
gamefreak:is it true that you think of yourself as a cyborg? and why?
quadraptor: Actually, before Quake 2 came out, QuadRaptor was just a normal quake player. When I got into Q2, I was scrolling through the different skins trying to find someone that I imagined he would look like. Then I noticed the cyborg section, and thought the second cyborg looked a lot like him, just with metal and stuff on, so I decided that Quad would become a cyborg.
In my original story, he was badly wounded upon landing on Stroggos, so his fellow marines quickly repaired him and turned him into a cyborg. My final explaination for how he became one is that he was captured and tortured by the Stroggs, but that he was rescued and THEN turned into a cyborg.
gamefreak:if you think of yourself as a cyborg, why is your name quadraptor?
quadraptor: I didn't have any other ideas for a name, so I just stuck with the original name I created so many years ago.
gamefreak: do you think you could take on someone like tical or monster?
quadraptor: Tical, probably not. He's got a lot of experience with CA and is a tough opponent. I have a hard time avoiding his lightning gun.
Monster, I may be able to fare pretty well against, but I haven't played against him in a long time so I'm not sure how the game would turn out.
gamefreak:if you could have 1 thing in the whole world...what would it be?
quadraptor: Ooh tough choice....there are so many things to choose from, so I'll just type in the first thing that comes to mind.
Well, something I've always wanted was a '95 Chevy Camero. That's always been my dream car.
gamefreak:is it true you like goats?
quadraptor: Sure do. How I got into goats is an interesting story, too.
One of my hobbies when I was younger was to collect things. I loved to go to thrift stores and see what kinds of things people didn't want that I could buy for a dollar or two - everything from pins to toys, and especially cassette tapes (how I got into a lot of the bands I listen to now). So one day, maybe 4-5 years or so ago, I decided to check a thrift store out called the Waterfront Rescue Mission. So I walked in and went to the back of the store where they kept the toys. At first I didn't see anything, so as I was about to walk away, one of the store workers came out with a handful of plush animals and started to put them on the shelf. One of the plush animals caught my attention, and as the worker walked away, I went over and picked up the plush.
It was a brown goat with a khaki face and underbelly, and for some reason I thought he was the coolest thing I had ever seen. So I bought him and took him home. I found a few spots where his stitching was coming off, and so I sewed him back together, and gave him a name....Victor (after the goat from the cartoon "Ed, Edd, 'n Eddy")
Here's a picture of him: http://www.geocities.com/quadraptor/victor.jpg
Ever since that day, I've been obsessed with goats. I'm not sure what I like about them the most, but I think meeting Victor really changed my life. I think one thing that contributes is that I really like "unpopular" animals.
gamefreak:when did you first start playing quake quad?
quadraptor: It was real close when the game came out, probably '97 or '98.
gamefreak: did anything really make you want to start playing?
quadraptor: Actually, a close friend of my brother's put the game on our computer while he helped us hook it up. I wasn't too good at the game at the time but I loved to play.
gamefreak:well, thanks for having me quad, and there goes my first interview....
quadraptor: Anytime. Hope my answers help you understand a little more about my origins and my personality.I'm back, and better

Originally posted by QuadRaptorDamn I was hoping you were going to say both. I was coming up with neat ways for both Quad and myself to answer the same questions.
here's my interview with freak. Take a guess on who the bold text is:
INTERVIEW!!!!
here's my second interview, starring canadian sniper!
gamefreak:first things first, are you canadian, and if your not, why did you pick that name?
Of course I'm Canadian. I reside in British Columbia and have been living in Vancouver most of my life. I travel a lot in Europe as well. If I wasn't Canadian, I'd still name myself Canadian because CANADIANS RULE!
gamefreak:what compelled you to start playing quake, and what year was this?
I started playing quake when it came out. My bro's friend got it and let us try it out. The graphics were astounding then but I was really compelled by the sounds. A bit later I got myself a copy of Quake and played LAN games at many locations. I went to a few servers but wasn't very interested in having PING. I'm in SNS right now for a reason, I started Quake in 96.
gamefreak:many players(like quad) say your annoying...why?
Losers dislike cool people. I'll be the first to admit that I really don't care for anyone I don't know in person. I speak my mind a lot and my sense of humour is maxed out. Anyone who has a lower sense of humour than me will think I'm being a jerk. As for MANY players, I think it's just you and Quad. I find You annoying as well so we're all a big happy family. "Hey Sniper can you train me?" "Hey sniper you're my master" "I'm 12 and proud bitches!"
gamefreak:what made you join the SNS clan?
I've always been one to never want to be in a clan. I've been in a gang but not a virtual life clan. Concept seemed so stupid to me. But if the game was to get more interesting being in a clan, I'd join. That's where Clan War comes in. I wanted to have a clan war against TU but looks like that went to shit. I might ditch the clan is nothing interesting is ever going to happen. If so, I'll give R00k (phenom) a month's notice
gamefreak:how come you can always be sighted playing fvf with gunter....very late at night...?
Gunter was the first quaker I talked too when I got back into the Quake game a few years back. He has a great sense of humour and is fun to chill with. He's probably one of the few people I actually care about in Quake. Without Gunter, Quake would be dull.
I'd also like to state that this is more your opinion on where I reside most. I also go to RA, CA, CRMOD and CAx as much as I visit FvF
gamefreak:what made you start playing at fvf so much?
It wasn't RuneQuake and I didn't know about CRMOD or CA at that timeNuff said.
gamefreak:final question...are you ever going to be an American*Sniper?
Americans are alright but there's so many things going to shit in that country. Canadian*Sniper is just the name I chose to wear when I got back into the quake game like I said above. Before I think I stuck with the default name. I also went under the name "Janitor". I'm very proud of my country and if there's anywhere I'd like to take a vacation, it's down EAST to Europe. Canada > America. Canada is THEE PLACE TO BEE
that concludes my interview, thx for having me snipez...
That's it? shit. That was most most biased interview ever. Lets see if you edit this interview after I send it lol

here's my fourth interview...with the mighty monster!
gamefreak:your pretty popular quaker, you know that?
yeah, i guess. In runequake, I am known as the "asshole botter". LOL. Most quakers do know me or have seen me at least once.
gamefreak:where did you come up with the name "monster"?
gamefreakid you EVER used to be sucky at quake?
Hell yeah, when I had dial-up I was always sucky. I never could win a game in any mod. I was really ultra sucky when I used to play at ca.mtown.com and I was like 9 or something. I just used to hide and screw around.
gamefreak:since your harry potter, can you do magic?!
WTF!!?! IM NOT HARRY POTTER. I Own Harry Potter.
gamefreak:what made you start playing quake and when?
My dad borrowed quake from some guy he knew at IBM when I was 5, installed it and I played through the wholse original single player levels like 200000000000 times. I can go through each of the quake levels in my head. Then when I was like 7 or 8 I got both of the expansion packs, played through them many times. I alwasy used to mess around with the CTF mode in dissoultion of eternity, pretending that there were players... THen I learned about bots.... The first one I ever got was BGbot(which was a piece of shit) and I was amazed. It was so fun shooting another player. Then I upgraded to REAPER, then OMICRON. One day, I asked my dad how to play quake online with other real people, and he said "you have to look up some servers"... So that's what I did and I found Ca.mtown.com.... It was an amazing experience actually talking and playing online with real people, when I was around 9 years old.
gamefreak:if you could add 1 animal to play as a monster in quake, what would it be?Hmm... Tough one. I guess something quick and ferocious, like a wolf.... I can;t really think of a really good one now.
gamefreak:your a 1-on-1'er right?
Well not really, I do like 1on1's though. I'm more of an RA'er I think. Its my strongest mod other than runequake. I don't like DM 1on1's though. I hate getting owned with the respawning weapons. Heh.
gamefreak:final question...what servers can you be spotted at?
quake.shmack.net (runequake)
26001:quake.shmack.net (rocket arena)
26002:quake.shmack.net (practice mode/dm)
ca.clanhdz.com (Clanarena)
bomber.ironrocket.com (clanarenax
fvf.servequake.com (future vs fantasy)
quake.phathookups.com(clanarena)
dm.clanhdz.com (deathmatch)
nettyme.essentrix.net (runequake)
26003:coop.runequake.com (cooperative)
just about every server that I get decent ping on....
