Name: David Alan Conway (AKA, 'Ultima' or 'UltimaHedgie') Age: 16 Location: Wisconsin (Midwest), United States What's your earliest Sonic memory? I'd have to say watching one of those early Sonic cartoons. I don't care much for them anymore, but I do remember watching them back in the day. As I recall, Tails and Sally (regrettably, I had thought she was Knuckles at the time...) got mind-controlled by Robotnik. I don't really recall the whole thing, though, as I was probably about 3 or 4 years old at the time. Who's your favourite Sonic character? Shadow, definitely. What makes this character so special to you? Shadow is a unique character. He's just got that mysterious personality, and I myself have a love for mysterious things. Shadow is, overall, a loner, and that seems to add another flare to the ever growing flame. Sure, he's got his downsides. His personalities in Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog hurt him more than they helped, but Shadow the Hedgehog still helped by it's ending, ultimately bringing him back to where he was in Sonic Adventure 2. I mostly began liking Shadow during Sonic Adventure 2, but unlike other people, I actually stuck to the character afterwards. He's just, I don't know... always appealed greatly to me. The development of my site is actually what started my liking for the character, though, ironically. What continues to drive you to continue to add to your site? Mainly it's a development of my skills. My skills in web building have increased greatly, and I am interested in pursuing a career in that area. Furthermore is simply the fact that I enjoy doing it. It's fun to try and keep up with rival sites, such as Shadow Flash and Shadows HQ, but also to try and build up and contribute to this very large, yet very awkward fandom of ours. Is there a particular moment in your website's history that means a lot to you? I'd have to say first developing it. Obviously it was this little n00bish site on Geocities, as most sites are, but the development of the initial site (which wasn't even strictly Sonic-related at first) is what ultimately led me into liking Shadow better, and progress of the site got me into a more professional state online. Many 'n00bs' online simply are new to the internet, and don't know how things work. I was like that, and the site helped me to develop further. If you could have any one thing in a new Sonic game, what would it be? That's a rather hard question, actually... There are a grand number of things I'd like to see. One such thing relates to being able to play a game that most of the fans enjoy (other than myself, as I seem to do that), but I'd say the return of Fang. Fang has a nice, thrilling personality, and would be fit for the series, I think. Considering Shadow's new role in the series (as a government agent), I think he'd make a nice enemy of Shadow, Rouge, and Omega. Actually, he's the only character from the classics that I see fit for the series... then again, Chaotix got revamps, so others could, as well. |
