Hrm, this one always gets me. They change frequently enough, but right now I would have to put Monty Python and the Holy Grail near the top.
Alongside that classic would be the The Matrix. The original will always hold a special place in
my heart simply, I think, because it was the first R rated movie I ever saw.
However, the depth, complexity and intrigue one can find only in Pokemon: The First Movie is incredibly
vast. And that’s only one of the numerous reasons Pokemon: The First Movie gets a spot in my top 3 today. Seriously, it’s that good.
What interests you in life?
Computers and world domination mostly. Things like family, feelings and humanity never really piqued my interest.
As a child what did you want to be when you grew up? What are you now?
As kid I really wanted to be a Paleontologist. Of course, when I was old enough to realize how dirty the work was I quickly turned to cold embrace of computers for comfort. Although, come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve really ever grown out of the Dinosaur phase (Speaking of which, is it too late to throw Jurassic Park up there as one of my top 3? Heh, you can’t blame a guy for trying).
Right now I’ve been accepted into a great college and have already declared Computer Science as my Major. I’m mentally preparing myself for the change, while at the same time trying not to even imagine the massive amount of work waiting for me over the next four years. It may even be eight years if I decide to try for my Masters right after Graduation.
What is your favorite color?
It depends upon what color my victims bleed. I’ve run into a few Vulcans in my time and, let me tell you, that was the most beautiful shade of green I’ve seen in all my life.
What is your favorite food?
Pizza.
Pepperoni Pizza to be exact. While I will try other toppings from time to time, properly made Pepperoni Pizza is the most perfect food known to mankind.
What is your favorite ice cream flavor?
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. It’s two deserts for the price of one! How could you go wrong with a deal like that?!

Tell us one thing about yourself that we would not have known to ask about?
I finally finished my potty-training at the grand old age of 5. Ironically, I was having conversations with people at 6 months.
The Gamer stuff
Where did your user name come from?
Mzzkc Ugh. Every time someone asks this I tell them it’s a long, boring story that they’re better off not knowing. The only reason I’ll oblige this time is because I’ve got an essay due and I’ll do anything to procrastinate. Don’t say I didn’t warn you though.
Alright, there’ll be a quiz on this later so listen up. It was a bright and sunny day somewhere on the East Coast. This place was definitely not Annapolis because Annapolis isn’t where my old middle school is located at all. Indeed, it was probably gym or something like that because we were all outside for some reason or another. I could feel the sun slowly burning through my skin so I sought out shelter, with my geeky friend in tow, inside the plastic playhouse located under the slide. As soon as we were safe from neutrinos (plastic playhouses can do that you know) he whipped out his GBA and it was at that moment I was introduced to the sumptuousness that is Golden Sun. Ah, what a wonderful game that was. Much more interesting and complex than the Pokemon games I had enjoyed so much. Well, after much negotiation and bartering he agreed to let me borrow the game for awhile. It was then, at the profile selection screen, that I noticed his character’s name “Gxxkc” (pronounced “Jix”) and another profile named “Bvvkc” (roughly pronounced Bihj-vick). Naturally, I enquired into what those names were all about. My friend explained: “You just take the first letter of your name, add two cool letters and a “kc” to the end and there you go! So for you, it would be something like m-z-z-k-c. . .”
Yeah, that’s basically it. The proper pronunciation of the name was debated for months and, to this day, that friend still calls me “Mihj-vick.” However, I have affirmed, with the phrase “The Is are invisible,” that the correct pronunciation of “Mzzkc” is Miz-zick (both Is are soft). Interestingly enough, that phrase was conceived over on the CoV Forums.
Well, I thought it was interesting. . .
Why that avatar?
It’s the Companion Cube in ASCII Art form. I think it can speak for itself. Although, I still don’t know if anyone besides me can actually hear it speak. . .
I’m not crazy.
Do you have a favorite server? If so which?
Yes; Freedumb, as we loving call it.
The story as to how it was chosen is just as long and boring as the last one. So, I’ll save everyone the trouble of reading another wall’o’text and just reveal the twist. . . Get this: I quite literally only have 4 toons in existence. They’re all named “Mzzkc” and they’re all on Freedom. After I12 hits, I will have more open character slots than I will be able to fill in a lifetime.
(Worst. Semicolon usage. Ever.)
What is your favorite archetype?
The Mastermind of course. The concept matches my personality.
What is your favorite powerset?
Anyone who has perused the Mastermind Forum even a little knows I’m completely biased toward Ninjas/Dark Miasma builds. My favorite of the two definitely being Ninjas.
However, as an aside, if animation was the deciding factor, my favorite set would be Dual Blades.
Are you a member of one or several VG’s? Which?
Odin’s Lance was my one and only for the longest time. We’ve been through a whole lot, but I think things are starting to pick back up for the Lance. Although, you’ll have to ask my bro Jzzkc (Who is not me, by the way. Just wanted to clear that up for all you conspiracy theorists out there. . .) if you want all the info. You see, my account re-activation is still pending. If I’m lucky I’ll be back in the game before this interview sees print, so to speak.
Also, I’ve got a guy in the GA Nation. Although, I might have to move him over to The Lance soon. More on that as it develops.
PvP or PvE better?
PvP. It’s much more dynamic and so much more fun.
Do you play any other MMORPGs? If so which?
There were only two others I’ve tried out this year. I played Cabal and Drift City for awhile, but I had to stop when schoolwork started piling up.
Right now I don’t have the funds for anything besides CoX. Even if I did, the only other MMO I’d think about paying for would be Champions Online. The problem there is that it’s not even out yet.
How did you find Gameamp?
Geez, you can’t expect me to remember something as life changing as that.
That being said, it was probably Google. I might have been searching for information on CoV or something and ran across a Guide. I do remember lurking on the Forums for quite awhile. I don’t think my first post was very Epic though. . .
What got you addicted to Gameamp?
I’m not addicted! I can quit anytime I want!
*goes to check Forums*
*comes back*
Not addicted. At all.
>_>
What is your favorite feature on Gameamp?
I <3 the Forums. However, I’m also a big fan of all the nifty databases. It’s always nice to have access to that kind of information at a moment’s notice.
Do you have a favorite all time game? PC or Console?
Galaxian for the PC (the arcade version costs too much monies). One of the first games I ever played. I still love it to this day. I even have the sequel, Galaga, on my cell phone. The funny thing about that is I rarely ever carry a cell phone with me.
Do you have a favorite all time Hero?
Dig Dug.
He has, quite possibly, the most amazing power/weapon combo imaginable. He can dig through the Earth simply by walking into it and he can defeat his enemies by shooting them with an air pump and pumping ‘till they asplode in all their 8-bit glory! I wish I had an air pump that could do that. . .
Do you have a favorite all time Villain?
I am my all time favorite villain. However, if I had any feelings whatsoever, I might have said Hellmeister or Phedre (the coup she pulled off on the Red side was simply beautiful), but that’ll never happen. . .
This or That
Strawberries or Cherries?
Ew.
McDonalds or Burger King?
Burger King.
Tennis or Bowling?
Bowling.
Gameboy or PSP?
Why would anyone ever say PSP? Gameboy all the way.

Actually, I never had a problem reading the name. It's quite simple if you transliterate it from the Hebrew. Nice interview. Glad to learn something new about an Amper.
Yep, great stuff! Thanks to Rainah and Mzzkc for doing the interview. And special thanks Musseh-keh-seh for having me high on his villain top 10 list. Good stuff all round!
