What's your earliest Sonic memory?:
My earliest Sonic memory was Christmas 99' when my dad got me a Sega Dreamcast along with Sonic Adventure, my first Sonic game ever, and that was probably the first time I ever heard about Sonic, actually.

Who's your favourite Sonic character?:
Well Shadow of course. =P

What makes this character so special to you?:
I guess its his extreme rebellious nature, while man-made, he still has a heart and has emotion and yet he lives his own life and goes his own way. He's much different from any other character and he has the most evolved history of any of the other characters, making him so unique. His style appeals to me most, especially his attitude and his outlook on life and those around him.

What continues to drive you to continue to add to your site?:
What continues to drive me to add to SHQ is the idea that I'm contributing to the fan base of one of the greatest series of games that has been out there since the early 90's, and that there are so few Shadow fan sites as compared to Sonic fan sites.

Is there a particular moment in your website's history that means a lot to you?:
Well one moment was the announcement that I won an award in the 2005 SSA. That really inspired me to keep going and to put my best effort into SHQ. Had I not won that, I might not have had so much of a drive to keep going, since the site was in its early stages.

If you could have any one thing in a new Sonic game, what would it be?:
Hmm, one thing I would definitely want for the next Sonic game would for it to have a really long and involved storyline, and gameplay that was completely unique to each character, instead of the same stages.
