This week I have chosen another more "quiet" person in the Levels4You community. A great friend and always willing to help.

===1. What is about Red Faction that attracted you to the game?===

The bright red box. I hired it from the video game shop for a week, found it had multi capability, then custom maps [of which red-stuff.com is where I downloaded my first customs], then as you have probably guessed I found that link to RED in the start menu.

===2. What made you want to map/mod Red Faction?===

I have studied a lot of multimedia - animation [2d/3d], video, HTML etc. But games never came into that. When I found the RED.exe it was like - where have you been? I have always been creative and have always loved computer games. I guess it was the combination of these things.

===3. When did you start mapping/modding Red Faction?===

Christmas 2002. On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, a RED editor exe.

===4. Have you ever mapped for any other games?===

Yeah. Remember that game Stunts? An old dos thing that you could make car 'trick' tracks in. Also made some dodgy Starcraft maps.

===5. Do you plan on mapping for any other games?===

Probably when I move out of the prehistoric age with my computer hardware. I feel like I am at the end of the road in RED and need to get into some more complex game creation. I would love to look at Max Payne and Unreal.

===6. Who do you most admire in the Red Faction community?===

Not so much a person, but more a quality of person. I guess NCF is the perfect example. Someone who; repeatedly gives for very little in return. I admire that.

===7. If you could change one thing about Red Faction, what would it be?===

I guess I would make it RFIII with multi vehicle support of course.

===8. If you could ask one question about Red Faction and get it answered by THQ/Volition, what would it be?===

How do you create new HUDS for vehicles? C'mon I emailed you guys - your webmaster cracked me up with his reply, but no reply from the people who could have helped.

===9. What made you start up your website?===

The devil made me do it ... nah, it was originally intended for what it is used for now - a reference for people. I guess in the beginning it was for mates/e-friends to use, but now I enjoy serving the site to people from all over the world. I do enjoy helping people out. It makes me feel good

===10. For people out there, can you give some stats on your site, info on hosting, etc?===

The US military use the site regularly. I got a great server to use now. Thanks Aussie Green.

===11. During 2004 are there any games you plan on buying?===

I have been looking for a nice chess set. I plan on playing Risk a few times as well. I got it one birthday, we played flat out for weeks, but since then the box is just gathering dust.

===12. Can you tell us a little about your up coming Trigger Mod?===

I decided to change the name. Trigger mod was too self indulgent for my liking. I come up with; No Shelter. With the catch phrase; there be no shelter here the front line is everywhere. A line from a RATM song.

The mod has progressed so much from its conception. The Single Play aspect is the big draw card. I have spent weeks on end perfecting some cut scenes and effects and the maps look more incredible than I had ever imagined they could be.

I have also been a long-standing member of the Iron Sun mod [www.ironsunmod.tk] and it is also due for an update release in the coming weeks/months.

===13. Lately you haven’t been around Levels4You a lot, what happened? Where did you go?===

Some people just plain piss me off. Plus I got my own site forums to monitor now - so that takes up extra time. Check em out we got arcade games and a shop where you can buy things like Ban Members, change member titles and or you can hire goons to do your dirty work for you!

===14. Tell us something that no one else knows.===

My cats name is Aberdeen. My dogs name is Sherman. [well you may already know that - I did post a pic of Sherm sometime ago in the 'pics of your pets' forum - Christ I could have been DBII back then.]

DBII? Yeah my first RF name was DeathBringerII. It was interesting going back to anonymity for a while, until someone let the cat out of the bag.

===15. Anything else I’ve missed?===

Your credit card. I accept American Express, Mastercard or Visa.

Thanks for your time, mate.
