Here you will be a glimpse of what the people behind the scenes of Dreamcast Otaku are like. Right now there's only two three of us, but hopefully, we will grow. I, Dreamcast Otaku, conducted every interview (okay, I sent both of them a questionnaire) with each staff member, even the interview with myself. Anyway, click on a name to read that interview.

Incog - Dreamcast Otaku

What is your real name?
If I told you that, I would have to kill you. Hahaha. It's Mac.

Do you go by any other names, do you have any aliases?
You can call me Otaku...Dreamcast Otaku or Incog, whichever you prefer.

Now that we know your name(s), what are your specialties?
My titles include: King of Sports Games, King of RPGs and Prince of Fighters.

What do you do and have you done for this site?
I'm a Reviewer, a Previewer, the Editor-in-Chief, the Webmaster, and basically do everything for this site. I can be classified as the Mac-of-all-trades. I also created all of the (I think they are) snazzy banners for the site.

Why do you like videogames?
Who ever said I "liked" videogames? I love them! They are the best way to relieve aggression, especially fighters, and have fun with friends. Where else would you be able to dunk on Mutombo with a 5'4" player?

What is the worst Dreamcast game you've played?
The worst Dreamcast game I've played without question is South Park: Chef's Luv Shack. There isn't a game as bad as this. The only good thing about this game is, wait there isn't anything good about this game. I feel sorry for all of the people who bought this game *cough* Miguel *cough*.

On to the other side of the gaming spectrum... what is your favorite game for Dreamcast?
Umm...my favorite game for Dreamcast would have to be...Marvel vs. Capcom 2, followed by Soul Calibur and Power Stone 2. All of them are fighters!

What is your favorite game of all-time?
Ha! That's too easy. My favorite game is Final Fantasy Tactics for Playstation. Just in case you want to know, my second favorite game is tied between Xenogears for Playstation and Roller Coaster Tycoon for PC.

What game is in your Dreamcast right now?
Hold up, let me go check...ah, it's Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future. I just bought it 3 days ago (2.22.01), I've only played (and beat) the first level, but it's pretty good so far.
Of course you play games on other platforms besides Dreamcast, so what's in your other console(s) and PC?
Final Fantasy 9 is in my Playstation; Sim City 3000 Unlimited (really hard) is in my PC; Fighter's Mega Mix, which I just finished playing with my boy Dave, is in my Saturn; and nothing is in (or has been for a while) my Nintendo 64.

What Dreamcast games do you own?
NFL2K1 NBA2K1 Speed Devils
Soul Calibur Toy Commander Shenmue
Chu Chu Rocket Ecco the Dolphin UFC
Fur Fighters Hidden & Dangerous Marvel vs. Capcom 2
Power Stone 2 Space Channel 5 Pen Pen Tricelon (import)
Virtua Tennis

It is said (or maybe I just made it up) that music fuels the soul, so what is your fuel nowadays?
Lenny Kravitz - Mama Said, 2Pac - All Eyez on Me (Book 1), Musiq Soulchild - Aijuswanaseing, and Super Unleaded are my (daily) fuel intakes.

What game(s) can't you wait for the most?
Ummm...besides a Final Fantasy Tactics sequel, I can't wait to play Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare (DC). Four months is a long ways off, but I think I can make it. Since Armada 2: Exodus (DC) is only a week away, I'm really looking forward to that too.

If you could be any Dreamcast videogame character, who would that be and why?
That's a tough one...I would probably be Wang Tang from Power Stone 2, but only if I could go into "stoned" form whenever I wanted. Imagine being able to shoot Ki Blasts and Genki Damas at willl; that would be awesome! Another character I would probably be would be Kilik, 'cause in Soul Calibur I beat the crap out of everyone with his big stick (except for Mitsurugi, who I beat sometimes; damn you Dave!).

What 5 games would you recommend to anyone who just bought a Dreamcast?
Without question I would recommend Soul Calibur and Marvel vs. Capcom 2. The other 3 would probably be Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (very addicting), Phantasy Star Online (I still haven't played it, only watched Miguel), and Jet Grind Radio.

Okay, here is the last question: What is your most memorable gaming moment?
Well, I have a few, but here is the best one (no it doesn't involve a Dreamcast game, and it's a little long): I was playing Madden '99 (PS) with my boy Swiff, it was the 4th quarter, 3:13 remaining, his ball, I was down by 18 points, 27-9. He was feeling very confident, and figured he was goin to win, but not me. My comeback all started with him throwing a quick out to some receiver on the right side of the field, but Deion (oh, I was the almighty Cowboys, he was the Jets) runs in front of the receiver, picks off the pass, and runs it back (with his lightning speed) for a touchdown. I kicked the EP, and the score was 27-16, about 3 minutes remaining. On his next drive, he went 3 and out, taking up about 40 sec off the clock. I scored very quickly on the next drive, making the score 23-27, I was still down by 4. On his next drive, he marched all the way down to the 7 yard line...there was only 27 sec remaining. I was a little nervous, but I didn't let it get to me. Guess what happened? Curtis Martin fumbled the ball right next to the endzone, George Teague (#31) picked it up, broke a tackle and rumbled the fumble for a touchdown... giving me a 29-27 lead with 3 sec on the clock. I was already estatic as soon as I grabbed the fumble, and he was, well, pretty pissed once he saw he wasn't going to catch me. I kicked the EP to make it 30-27. He tried to run the kickoff back, but to no avail, and I won the game. I was talking so much trash that day. I still mention it to him whenever we play NFL2k1, or any sports game. Man, I love videogames. And that people, is my most memorable videogame moment!
