<KP> Let me know when you're around, for we must dance the dance that is the interview.
<Dweezle> Ok, I'm here.
<KP> A new adventure awaits me this weekend. According to this fortune cookie.
<KP> It has no reason to lie to me, it knows what my rage is capable of. I already broke it in half.
<Dweezle> I wonder what it could be.
<KP> Well, we know it's not your mom. that adventure isn't new to anyone. ohhhhhh count it!
<Dweezle> Snap.
<KP> I've prepared some questions. would you like to answer them in a dignified manner as I act like a complete ass?
<Dweezle> As dignified as possible.
<KP> Alright, the first one is, as always, the standard stuff. Who are you, what do you do in the real world?
<Dweezle> My name is Paul, and my alias is Dweezle. In the "real world" I attend college and am a Biology Major.
<KP> What do you plan to do with a biology major?
<Dweezle> Well, technically I am an "Aquatic Biology" major. so hopefully I can do some field work, or work at an aquarium.
<KP> Will you get to feed the sharks?
<Dweezle> The question isn't "will I get to feed the sharks", it is "what do I feed to the sharks"
<KP> Sweet. Sounds like a spectacular episode of CSI. So what got you involved with Halo in the first place
<Dweezle> A friend of mine picked up the first game with an Xbox. I had a PS2 at the time and after playing the game, and getting tired of the glitches my PS2 had, I opted to get an Xbox and with it Halo. LANs followed.
<KP> Explain to me what Tied the Leader is and how you became involved with it.
<Dweezle> The name came from the gamer blog that spawned the community, created by XerxdeeJ. I became involved when a couple clanmates and I started reading his blog and then started hanging out with him online. We made a previous clan, that like many before it had some faults.
<KP> Weren't you worried that he was an online predator? Aren't you worried that I'm an online predator?
<Dweezle> Well, XerxdeeJ definitely has the voice to be one. you on the other hand... I think I would stab you in the face before you threatened me with anything of that nature. thats right, I would take your powers and use them against you
<KP> That's poppycockery. were you going somewhere else with that before I derailed you?
<Dweezle> Yes, thank you. So we had a previous clan, and we decided to make a new clan, attach the TTL, and make it the official clan of the blog. The rest is history. Wow, I hate overused lines like that.
<KP> So does Frankie. This interview will never see the light of day. He almost strangled me for something like that last week. No joke.
<Dweezle> How about, The rest is a bloody and war-torn story that we would have to kill you if you knew about.
<KP> Sounds good. So what's your current role in the TTL community?
<Dweezle> I am an overlord, and a writer for the TTL blog. I also dabble in MLG and am on one of the teams we are working to develop.
<KP> 1v1 lockout right now.
<Dweezle> Really?
<KP> Stickies only.
<Dweezle> Um...
<KP> Girly man.
<Dweezle> OK. LETS GO.
<KP> Actually no, I'm not taking FEAR out of the box. That game is damned fantastic
<Dweezle> So you are retiring from Halo?
<KP> No. if I were retiring from Halo, I'd have done it three months ago when PMS castrated us and then I had to write about it. And I'm still the king of Halo 3, after all.
<Dweezle> (Out of only a few people.)
<KP> Shh. Speaking of which, new H3 info is out. Anything have you particularly excited?
<Dweezle> Well, I'll admit, I haven't gotten all the magazines, but I have read some things and heard some talk. Like the needler not being a dual weapon anymore?
<KP> Nope. All you need is one. Take my word for it. I think 1up will probably go into detail about it at some point. If they don't, I will.
<Dweezle> Not that that's exciting, just the fact that it's getting some attention. I loved it in the first halo. It looked good, darker and more mysterious.
<KP> Yeah, it'll look gorgeous. The screenshots (and least of all the scanned screenshots) just don't do it justice, really.
<KP> So, are you getting gears tomorrow, or were you one of the lucky few that got it today?
<Dweezle> Tomorrow hopefully...
<KP> Frankie was "working from home" today.
<Dweezle> Sneaky...
<KP> Sketch and I speculate that he was, in reality, destroying beauty from home.
<KP> So does TTL hold any events? I seem to recall seeing some LANs written up in the blog. Do you have anything to do with those?
<Dweezle> We have had 3 major LANs now. The first was in Nashville back in February, the second was one I hosted here in Kentucky and the third was the Chicago one, which was amazing.
<KP> Did you make it to all of them?
<Dweezle> You know it.
<KP> Nonsense, if I knew it I wouldn't have asked. Good times?
<Dweezle> Each one was awesome. Nashville was amazing because it was the first time meeting all of these people and our first clan LAN. I enjoyed the one in Lexington because I was hosting it. It was fun to plan, and most of all it was fun to see it go through and people enjoying it. Chicago was more party than LAN. We BBQ'ed on the lake, hung out in some bars, then had some relaxing game time to top it off.
"
I AM RAGE! I FEED YOU TO SHARKS NOW!"
<KP> Cool beans. That's pretty much all I got. have anything to add or that you'd like to touch on?
<Dweezle> Hmmmmm, tell me all the secrets of Halo 3.
<KP> Secret #39834: You're banned.
<Dweezle> Like you were banned from halo 2?
<KP> Low blow. Alright, I'm gonna go back to FEAR now. Laters.
<Dweezle> Thanks for the interview, KP. Hope I didn't sound like an idiot.
<KP> Not at all. But it'll be heavily edited to appear as such.
