It is Friday again, and I am done for the semester. Time to watch more football, play some more Halo, and… oh yeah… interview some more awesome people. This week’s interviewee hails from a gaming site called Gaming Horizon. She is the Editor in Chief of said gaming review behemoth. Make sure to stop by and check out their latest take on the games gracing the market. Without any more delay, check out the awesome answers she gave.

• Gamertag: Laivina, mostly because some evil person always takes Shiva.

• Pet Peeve: 14 year-old boys who shoot me to death on any online FPS. I was that good too, once. Okay, rarely.

• Your Best Moment of Triumph: Finally managing to pull myself away from MMOs… only to find myself back in them again. Funny, that.

• Game That Was the Biggest Let Down: If this actually involves anticipation, FFX (not a fan of the tropical scene or, for that matter, Tidus). If it doesn’t, my all-time, most-hated game would be A Bug’s Life, closely followed by Mary Kate and Ashley’s Magical Mystery Mall (the torture we reviewers go through).

• Closest You Have Come to Death: There was this one time when I thought I saw him at a bowling alley, but it was just the lighting.

• What Are You Better at Than Anyone You Know: Pronouncing words from foreign languages I do not know.

• Little Known Fact: If I could, I would run up to every one I meet and say, “The Middle-East is one geopolitical unit!” Anyone outside of political science would have no idea of what I was talking about, though. Shame.

• Ideal Business: Any store where I could sell books, videogames, perfume, and cosmetics from the same shelves. Something for everyone, you know.

• First Game That Had You Hooked: Tomb Raider II. Hooked from the moment the tiger attacks you from behind, because that’s just sneaky.

• Mac or PC: PC. I’m just not hip enough for Apple.

• Song You Are Currently Listening to: Wings, Utada Hikaru, from Ultra Blue – a lovely album.

• Game/System You Are Looking Forward to the Most: Assassin’s Creed, nearly tied with WoW’s Burning Crusade expansion. Yes that’s sad.

• Supernatural Power of Choice: As the goddess of destruction I’ve pretty much got the realm of supernatural powers covered, but I guess adding flying couldn’t hurt. Who doesn’t want to fly? And hurl fireballs?

• Favorite Ending For a Game, Movie or Book: Probably the death of Theseus from Mary Renault’s Bull from the Sea. I’m afraid I’m an academic gamer.

• Favorite Arcade Game: The Simpson’s – used to play it with the family.

• Last Gadget Purchased: Cell phone. Hey, it’s been awhile, and you said “purchased.”

• The Worst or Most Frustrating Moment You’ve Had Gaming: Probably the time I played Final Fantasy XI with Tim Grube and spent a half hour shouting “Timmay! Where are you?!” in Bastok until he figured out how to send me a private message. Anything before that I’ve successfully managed to wipe from my memory, thank you.

• If You Were to Make a Documentary, What Would it Be About: The best and the worst of humanity – gotta’ take everything in balance. That or why Russia is the funniest place ever.

• Ideal Game That Has Not Yet Been Created: The one where you not only gain supreme powers from long-dead scary people/gods but also the ability to fly and shoot off fireballs at easily irritated postal workers. My car is not parked THAT close to the mailbox, you deviant bastard…

• Historical Figure You Would Reanimate: Alexander the Great. Then we could solve this whole Iraq-war thing. Plus he was rather brilliant for one so good-looking…

• Dogs, Cats, Birds or Wombats: Cats. What other creature on earth can simultaneously dominate you while making you feel like the most beloved being in the room (besides us girls)?

• Movie Quote: (Dweezle- This was left blank so I am just going to assume that she has never seen a movie ever, thats the most reasonable thing to assume.)

• Fitbabits asks- Why do you think it is that cats have their shit together? I mean, they’re our masters, not the other way around. Can you think of any other animal which is so capable of utter love one minute and seeming contempt the next: I’m pretty sure they’re reincarnated into cats from the greatest prophets/sages throughout time… or they’re alien monsters dropped off by the same little green men who built the pyramids. I think you’re imagining the contempt or just ran into really mean cats, in which case, call me with a price.
