-What is your rank/placement within CAG?
PFC, Rifleman, Whiskey, 1st Platoon, Alpha Squad, FT1
-How did you come up with your username?
My nickname's always been Rain, even my folks call me that. Couldn't have Rain, or Rainydays, so I took what I could!
-If you had to choose a gaming Genre, such as Sports, RPG’s, Action/Adventure, Survival Horror, FPS’s, etc. what would you say would be your first pick?
RPG, fallout destroyed my social life.
-What consoles do you game on?
XBox One, PC, Windows Phone. All are great!
-What’s your favorite snack and drink while pulling a gaming all night Marathon?
Monster energy drinks, water, gardettos, and mango soft licorice
-What’s your most memorable moment in a game?
Fallout NV, finding Indiana Jone's corpse, hat, bag, and lasso in a dilapidated fridge. If you don't know why that's funny I don't love you ;-)
-If you could transport yourself into any game what game which game would you go into?
Almost certainly, it'd be Fallout 3. But in Alaska. I'd have usefulness, creating weapons, and would always be willing to make a deal!
-What game do you think you have invested the most time in, and how many days, months, do you think you have invested?
Fallout... Or maybe FF, I couldn't tell you time, other than far, far too much.
-If you were a game developer, tell us about the new game you are developing.
I'm developing a fully immersive Oculus Rift game, inspired by a combination of Fallout, Final fantasy, and battlefield. It will be the greatest thing ever! It includes a full gaming capsule with IR directional sensors, and roller bearings on the floor, so you literally walk where you want you PC to go. Still hashing out a story line...
-What makes a great next gen game great? What makes ANY game from any generation great?
Playability; is it really worth 60+ bucks? creativeness; will it be something new, or just replaying a clone of something else with different skins? depth of story and character; will I feel like I'm being put into the moment, or just grinding through something.
-If you can be ANY game character from ANY console who would you be and why?
Sonic the frakkin hedgehog, for very obvious reasons!
-How old can you remember back was your first gaming experience and what game was it?
I think I was four? And we got a Sega Genesis from a garage sale, with this crazy survival horror deal, and sonic. Now sonic I loved, but whatever that game was, scared the daylights outta me! I'd make my older friend okay it, and still cringe when he went around corners...
-What is your all time favorite weapon in a game to use?
I like things that make my opponent red mist. Splatter always makes me feel better.
-What’s your most anticipated upcoming game and why?
The Division; because it looks like one of the first real "in depth experience" FPS RPGs.
-What is your favorite game of all time?
That's a mash up, between Sonic, Fallout, and 007 Goldeneye, N64.
-Favorite Movie you recently just watched?
Hmmm... That's a tough one! I'd have to say... Pretty much all of em. I don't hold many favorites, and its hard not to like em when they are made well. If I did have to pick just one, it'd be Push, or Jumper.

Pendulum, from Perth, Australia.
-What is the most recent song that you sang out when driving in the car?
I don't do that shiz, when I drive I drive.
