AlisonClaire Interview

Ok, well, I got access to my interwebz again and interviewed AlisonClaire. Interview took FREAKING AGES so it took about half an hour to edit. Anyway, here ya go.

The1Wizkid
Ready for super-duper-awesome interview now? :3
The1Wizkid
(btw don't use MSN smileys, takes ages to edit out)
AlisonClaire
if by 'super-duper-awesome' you mean 'totally boring and lame' then sure.
AlisonClaire
WHY MUST YOU STRANGLE MY CREATIVITY!
AlisonClaire
*insert MSN angry face here*
The1Wizkid
I'm sure I can make it interesting for ya ; )
The1Wizkid
Sooo. When did you sign up to Kong, how, and why?
AlisonClaire
April of last year, found the site through StumbleUpon and Fancy Pants. Signed up because I then started playing bloons and had a question about something. Started chatting because damijin was in chat and I wanted to tell him what a great site is was/is.
The1Wizkid
And do you remember your first few Kongfriends?
AlisonClaire
Yup. Most of them have vanished actually but it was the majority of the old school vannites. Mastry, d ijin, valkyrie, Kitten20, LoneRonin, Darwin
AlisonClaire
etc.etc.
The1Wizkid
Whoa.. And how long do you spend on Kongregate every day?
AlisonClaire
Oh lord. I have no idea. It really depends on the day. Much less now that I'm in school but I'll go with 2 hoursish. That's probably too low of an estimate but I will make myself too sad if I admit the actual ount of time I spend with you fake cyber people.
AlisonClaire
No more than 2 in chat but I tend to check the forums throughout the day.
The1Wizkid
Cool, hum..
The1Wizkid
What's your favourite chatroom?
AlisonClaire
Duh. Clearly Mostly Harmless. There is no competition!
The1Wizkid
(except The Van)
AlisonClaire
But up until the creation of my room I was a Vannite.
AlisonClaire
I dunno man, The Van is too schizophrenic for me now. I can't keep up with you young folk anymore.
The1Wizkid
=p
The1Wizkid
^o^ And what's your favourite feature on Kongregate?
AlisonClaire
Chat. It's allowed me to meet all sorts of wonderful people!
AlisonClaire
....and you.
The1Wizkid
I'm not wonderful? :' (
AlisonClaire
Nah you're ULTRASUPERFANTASTIC
The1Wizkid
^o^ Wewt
The1Wizkid
Ok, so. Before we continue, one last rumour to find the answer to:
AlisonClaire
No I am not pregnant.
The1Wizkid
Are you REALLY a 40 year old man called Ralph who lives in his mom's basement wearing a trenchcoat?
AlisonClaire
Oh, that one. Well yes, clearly.
AlisonClaire
And I live in Wisconsin and spend a great deal of time eating deep fried cheese curds. And playing Kingdom Hearts.
AlisonClaire
And Runescape
The1Wizkid
OMG! Runescape! best game evar.
AlisonClaire
I totally agree. You wanna come over to my house and play it sometime?
AlisonClaire
I'm a level eleventyseven mage OMG PHEER ME
The1Wizkid
OMG! Of course.
AlisonClaire
I'll get my mom to bake us cookies.
AlisonClaire
Man, I hope Chris Hanson doesn't show up to ruin the fun this time!
The1Wizkid
Hehe ^o^
The1Wizkid
Ok, so... Mod questions <3
The1Wizkid
How long have you been a moderator? =)
AlisonClaire
This is a matter of some debate. I thought since early July but someone said it was earlier. So sometime between June or July.
The1Wizkid
How did you feel on being appointed?
AlisonClaire
I was pretty stoked. That was back before The Van was the land of the mods so I frequently had to go find someone to ban trolls which, as I'm sure you know, is quite annoying. Plus I'm a huge kong fangirl so I was glad there was a way for me to help make the community stronger
The1Wizkid
^o^
The1Wizkid
Hum.. Any people you've seen who you think should be mod? *wink wink nudge nudge hint hint*
AlisonClaire
I have seen huge numbers of people that would be fantastic mods. I seriously think 90% of the regulars in my room would be azing mods.
AlisonClaire
It's just a question of need and oversaturation in certain rooms.
AlisonClaire
Plus greg has this rad new system he wants to implement that would put much more power in the users hands so we will become obsolete
The1Wizkid
: (
AlisonClaire
Oh what are you : ( ing at
The1Wizkid
Nothin'
AlisonClaire
OMG YES WIZKY I THINK YOU WOULD BE A FABOO MOD!
The1Wizkid
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
AlisonClaire
(is that what I was supposed to say? : P It is true though)
The1Wizkid
^o^
AlisonClaire
Except that you might ban your brother for no reason
The1Wizkid
Now gogogogo do your studying or w/e
The1Wizkid
Guess I must say thanks.. *rolls eyes*
The1Wizkid
Thanks for participating in the first interview for Kongiophobia V2, yada yada
AlisonClaire
yup no problem. If you have any other questions feel free to ask me whenever
The1Wizkid
Ok.
AlisonClaire
kthxbai

See y'all

Well, I gone and got myself banned for a week from the interwebz because I've been on Kongregate too much, so.. See y'all then. Wizblog will probably die by the time I get back, though, so current posters.. PLZ PLZ PLZ POST DECENT STUFF.

Oh yeah, if you need me for anything, comment here or shout me on my profile on Kongregate.

Survey!

Yay! On Kongregate Homepage, there's a new Quick Survey to fill in.

arcaneCoder said this about it: "In my opinion, by better knowing the interests of their demographic they can better tailor both the content of the site and the advertisements to fit the interests of those playing. They also learn which features of the site everyone enjoys best. Knowing what we like allows them to give us what we like."

So, go fill that in for better Kong stuff. :)




Also, posted in forum about The1Wizblog. Hopefully more viewers, yay!

GREG INTERVIEW! WOOT!

Hey guys! I'll post now my interview with Greg, that happened lots of days ago. It's originally posted (portuguese translated) at KongBR blog (http://kongbr.com.br). It's a Brazilian blog about Kong. You guys should take a look someday, even if you don't understand a thing! Cause we are really really cool. Comment there please. B)

Ok, no more chit-chat. Here we go! Greg interview! Woot!

1) How long have you worked at Kongregate?
Kongregate is a full-time job for me, so I work at least 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I started working at Kongregate back in August 2006 as the first full-time employee.

2) What is your job at Kongregate, exactly?
I do lots of stuff at Kongregate, and sometimes it fluctuates a bit from month to month. I probably spend the largest chunk of my time reviewing potential game sponsorships, then working out the arrangements for the ones I like. I also spend a pretty significant amount of time working on new achievements (and the weekly challenge). Whatever time I have left over goes to keeping up with community issues and appointing new moderators.

3) Did you expect that Kongregate would be so big and popular?
Modestly aside, well, yes. I spent a couple of months working for NHN USA ( www.ijji.com ) straight out of college, and I left to join the Kongregate team. Working for NHN was pretty great, and I would not have left if I didn't believe that Kongregate would grow to be incredibly popular. I certainly have no regrets about my decision and it's tremendously exciting to see how much the site has grown, but we still have a long road ahead of us if the site is to be truly successful.

4) What is the criteria for choosing a game to recieve a badge/card?
User ratings! I can't emphasize this enough. Developers contact me all the time asking for badges in their games, and they usually have less than 3 stars. When I go to add new badges, I sort all the games on the site by rating, and pick the top ones first. Games that are quick and easy may get badges sooner than incredibly long RPGs, though, just because I play games as much as I think is necessary before deciding what the badge should be. Putting badges in Anika's Odyssey and Balance Balls 2 took about 10 minutes, while designing/implementing the badges in Monsters' Den and Protector took about 2 days. Even for the Monsters' Den badges, I wish I would've spent a third day on it, just because the impossible badge turned out to be a little easier than I intended. In retrospect, I probably should've made it a hard badge at 20 levels. Oh well.

5) What is your opinion about "Corporative games"?
I think they're all right. Flash developers can earn a lot of money from them, and I know for a fact that some developers on Kongregate have developed games for corporations in the past as a way to pay the bills. What's a little sad, though, is that most Flash developers are essentially forced to either "sell out" and create advertisement games or start doing "real" programming if they want to make a living in the game development industry. There are a few exceptions to this (Hero Interactive, for example, is making a living primarily off of sponsorships with his consistently terrific creations), but for the most part, it's really hard to make a living developing games in Flash unless you're doing it to sell a product. Sponsorships have become more lucrative lately, though, and Kongregate's premium games program is offering a lot of money to independent Flash game developers, so hopefully this won't always be the case!

6) What do you think about the Kongregate/Newgrounds comparisons?
I think they're a little silly, honestly. Newgrounds deserves a ton of respect for paving the way for Flash portals in general, and I visit the site pretty frequently myself. I can understand that some Newgrounds fans are a little annoyed with Kongregate being called the "YouTube of games," since Newgrounds has essentially been the same thing for the past decade. "YouTube of games" is used to describe Kongregate for people who know nothing about the Flash world. For people who DO know about Kongregate and Newgrounds, though, they understand that Kongregate offers a lot more than a standard YouTube model -- we have chat, achievements, challenges, etc. Most of the content on Newgrounds is in the form of movies anyway, and their standards for acceptable content are a bit more extreme than Kongregate's. Just the fact that both sites host user-uploaded Flash games is pretty much the only similarity. I certainly don't think Newgrounds needs to worry about Kongregate, also -- Newgrounds will always be around regardless of Kongregate's success.

7) How hard is it to manage this great Kongregate community?
Incredibly hard. Impossible, even. I wouldn't be able to do it without the help of both Damijin and the entire team of terrific volunteer moderators across the site. But unfortunately, the whole system of "Greg appoints every moderator on the site" is horribly outdated for the amount of traffic that Kongregate has worked its way up to, and it's no secret that the community is a bit of a mess right now. Lately I've been working on the plans for a system of moderation on the site that involves normal users voting out trolls and spammers, and this should see some development once our programmers aren't so busy finishing up the card game.

8) What is your impression about the Brazilian community?
I unfortunately don't have a strong impression of the Brazilian community on Kongregate, since I can't speak Portuguese. This language barrier makes it incredibly difficult to moderate Brazilian rooms and to appoint Brazilian moderators. I know that the Brazilian room has had a lot of problems with trolling/spamming in the past, but I don't think this is representative of the Brazilian community on Kongregate -- the English rooms would probably be the exact same way if they didn't have any attention from moderators.

9) Have you already visited Brazil? If not, do you plan to visit someday?
I haven't visited Brazil. I would definitely like to, but the thought of traveling in a foreign country without being able to speak the native language is a bit intimidating. It's stressful enough just traveling within the United States! I went to Europe once with my dad when I was 15, and it was pretty stressful just watching him trying to communicate with everyone around us. If I ever did go to Brazil, it would probably be with a group or something.

10) How do you feel about being the "Kong sex symbol"?
Haha, I don't think this is true at all. You sure you're not thinking of arcaneCoder?

11) And what does Alison think about it?
Thankfully, I don't think Alison believes this is true either -- she probably wouldn't be too happy about it.

12) Well, can you give us a short description about yourself?
Let's see... I worked at GameStop for 3 years in high school, and I graduated from college about 2 years ago. I majored in psychology and human development, though I spent most of my time working at the student newspaper doing copy editing and reviewing video games. After I graduated, I worked for NHN a bit, then moved on to Kongregate. So video games have been a huge part of my life, both for entertainment purposes and regarding my employment. Other than having a lucky streak of cool jobs, I can't say there's anything about me that's too exciting. I will say that I'm a huge nerd when it comes to grammar, though, and I spent a ton of time playing World of Warcraft. What were you saying about "Kong sex symbol" again?

13) How long have you been together?
Alison and I have been together for about 5 years now. We met while we were both working at GameStop -- she was actually my boss at the time.

14) How is your relationship with the other people from the Staff? And the mods?
Everyone in the Kongregate staff gets along really well, at least as far as I know. I've never really worked in a "normal" office environment, but Alison has commented about how refreshing it is to work at a place that doesn't have any office drama being gossiped about behind people's backs. Jim even loaned me his Audi when I wrecked my car on the freeway (a truck in front of me decided to drop a ladder), and Alison and I have looked after his dog, Nikki, a few times. I get along great with most of the mods, or at least they act nice when I'm around! I really wish I had more time to get to know a lot of them better, though. Most new moderators are appointed more by recommendation than by my personal experience with them.

15) Is it true that Kongregate pays a trip to a resort for you every year?
No, I'm not sure how this rumor started! Alison and I recently came back from a trip to Hawaii, but that wiped out my savings account pretty thoroughly. The Kongregate staff had an off-site trip to Ashland a few months ago, but we spent the whole time working.

16) What is your: Favorite food? Favorite movie? Favorite music style? Favorite book? Favorite site?
My favorite food is sushi. I mean real sushi, not California rolls. Most Americans who say they like sushi really mean that they like fake crab with avocado and mayonnaise wrapped with rice, and I'm sure the Japanese are laughing about it behind our backs. I'm not sure what my favorite movie is. Probably Jurassic Park, Heat, or Sideways. For music, I'm really not sure. I'm part of the .00001% of the human population that's just not really into music that much. There are a few songs I like, but I can't say I've ever been really excited by a particular group or style. My favorite book is probably "The Color of Magic" by Terry Pratchett, or Jurassic Park (seeing the movie when I was 10, then reading the book really got me into literature at a young age). My favorite website (besides Kongregate of course!) is probably YTMND.com.

17) Do you have any message to the Brazilian community?
Yes, I do! Tremendous thanks to Willian for helping out with moderating Orgulho, but I know that the room can still be a bit messy at times. Hopefully user moderation will especially help out the foreign-language rooms, where it's more difficult for the Kongregate staff to have a direct influence.

Wizzy edit: OMG! WIN! 2 KONG STAFF INTERVIEWED! NOW FOR DAMIJIN >:)

*yawn...*

Well, uh.. Nothin' new really.. I need more posters and bigger fanbase, so.. This won't be updated very often, really. Until Missy and Will actually do stuff!! >: (

Also, please check out The Deadly Quiz by Deadlyman. It's pretty awesome.

So.. Template?

I changed the template around, and Cocokiller made me a banner for us! The template looks a little better now (I hope) just to cope with the size of the banner ;D Anyway, if you like it, COMMENT BELOW!

Again, huge thanks Coco!

KONGSTAFFINTERVIEW ON... matt!

I was lucky enough today to finally interview a Kongstaffmember! And he was matt! w00t! Anyway, here's the interview. Enjoy, it's rather long.. He had too many topics to cover. :p

The1Wizky
ello

matt
ello ello

The1Wizky
Ok, soo...

The1Wizky
When did you sign up to Kong, and why?

matt
november 06, damijin/mike found it on a gaming blog and we came to check it out. the only people in chat (there was only one room) were like, emily, greg and jim. So we stuck around and talked to them because they seemed neat.

The1Wizky
Haha. And do you remember your first friends on Kong? (apart from them, obviously)

matt
a few! some people from the first bunch of members have my screen name and we talk occasionally.

The1Wizky
Cool - And do you have any particular "best friends" out of them?

matt
I would like to call mrcredsalex my best friend but I’ve lost contact with him.

The1Wizky
: (

The1Wizky
And how long do you spend on Kong every day?

matt
probably around 6 to 8 hours, but I work for them so that might skew things!

The1Wizky
Niiice

The1Wizky
And, what's your favourite room on Kong?

matt
clearly The Van, rocking out since April or something.. We lose track of time.

The1Wizky
w00t. 3 Vannites. X)

The1Wizky
And what's your favourite game on Kong?

matt
hovercrafty

The1Wizky
Hehe.

The1Wizky
What's your favourite Kongregate feature?

matt
unequivocally, chat!

The1Wizky
Yay. Any new up-coming features you're looking forward to? :premium games, etc..

matt
the premium games should be pretty neat, i want to see more multiplayer games and see how the community or sub-communities develop around them. I’m mostly interested in watching how things develop as the site grows, that's kind of ambiguous.

The1Wizky
Yeah.. It's cool to see it go from 4k to 10k in a few weeks :p

matt
it's even cooler seeing it do it in a few days ;p

The1Wizky
K, last one in the Kongregate section..

The1Wizky
How awesome is Kongai? : D

matt
totally. I’m undefeated in it, atm. Just thought I’d let you know.

The1Wizky
:O Show-off

The1Wizky
Ok, Game questions now

The1Wizky
Do you play a lot of :non-Flash games?

matt
i suppose, not quite as much as i used to.

The1Wizky
What's your favourite gaming console?

matt
i can't decide between the wii and the virtual boy. to be honest, i prefer pc games to consoles though.

The1Wizky
Yea! And which consoles do you own?

matt
eeh, Atari 2600, nes, snes, genesis, Sega cd, ps, ps2, n64, Xbox, Wii. Some various stages of the gameboy and I had a DS somewhere but i can't find it, if you're counting handhelds.

The1Wizky
Whoa.. Haha.

matt
they all work!

The1Wizky
=O

The1Wizky
(if you can remember at all), when did you start playing console games?

matt
not really sure, pretty young though, like 6 or 7, or earlier. Though I’m not sure how much you can consider someone to be playing a game when they're spastic and little and pressing buttons randomly

The1Wizky
Lmao

The1Wizky
Ok, next topic. What do you do when you're not Kongregating?

matt
argue with people over trivial things, college, hang out with friends.

The1Wizky
Haha.

The1Wizky
Aaand, do you have any particular hobbies?

matt
I play guitar and sing angelically. slowly learning some actionscript in my spare time. Flipping through Wikipedia pages until I wind up somewhere and don't know how i got there.

The1Wizky
Sounds fun. :P

The1Wizky
Seeing as you work at Kongregate, do you have any set hours?

matt
not at the moment.

The1Wizky
Alrighty, new topic. Especially for you, Kongstaff <3

The1Wizky
How long have you been working at Kongregate?

matt
only about a month

The1Wizky
o_O I thought you worked here waayy longer. ;D

matt
no, my awesome demeanour just gives people the impression that i've had long-standing authority.

The1Wizky
Rofl

The1Wizky
Anyway. How did you feel on being, uh, hired? (surprised, happy, etc)

matt
surprised and happy.

The1Wizky
K, cool. Any mod recommendations?

matt
I’m not sure what you mean, recommendations for mods?

The1Wizky: Yep

matt
leniency is better than oppression!

The1Wizky
And, hm.. Any people who you have seen who you think should be a mod?

matt
i decline to comment!

The1Wizky
:O

The1Wizky
K, last in the topic - Any advice to anyone who would like to become a moderator?

matt
try not to do anything that would get you banned, since that tends to reflect poorly on you. though people can get better over time. just be active in chat, friendly, helpful, all those wonderful magical things. try not to overreact to everything. in general, try to stay respectable.

The1Wizky
Yay :D Okies, 2 more questions.

The1Wizky
What area of Flash developing do you work in, Design, Programming or both?

matt
i've worked with damijin and some of our friends, helping to design some games, and i've made some music. we've nearly completed one that should eventually be up on the site. like i said earlier, i'm working on learning some actionscript as well. i've got one sterling example of my progress that you can find on my profile on Kongregate. it's pretty incredible, i don't understand why it doesn't have a 5-star rating.

The1Wizky
Haha. Nice.

The1Wizky
How hard/easy is it, in your opinion, to make a Flash game?

matt
it obviously depends on your experience with programming. Most of the people i know have taken comp sci classes or learned programming concepts on their own before. the newer version of actionscript seems like it would have a steeper learning curve than previous version, but i would recommend anyone new to Flash game making to try to learn AS3 eventually if not first, because it's more object-oriented and has a similar structure and syntax to the common programming languages you'd be working with if you were going to make non-Flash games. if you've got any degree of math or logic ability you should be able to learn how to program. it might take some effort at first, but once you learn the concepts you can apply them to pretty much every programming language, so it's worth it. of course, if you've already got a programmer or some programming ability, then you have

to come up with the idea for the game itself, which can sometimes be the most difficult part

matt
needs more longwinded answers.
The1Wizky
Yeah. :P

The1Wizky
Anyway, that's the end of the interview.

The1Wizky
Thanks for participating! And, thanks for being the first mod/staff to be interviewed :D

matt
that was longer than 10 minutes btw, you liar

The1Wizky
I know I know - But I didnt think you would have such long answers! =P

matt
:-[

The1Wizky
And because you're a developer AND mod it took longer. =P

matt
i obviously do too much for you people.

Test

-POST REMOVED FOR CLEANER VIEWING!! (well, not really, I just don't want insults on my Blog. :D-

New badge-games on Kong

Tarnation

Utter shite. Complete bullshit.

Anyway, it's easy. Except lvl 10. And lvl 11. Sort of. But the other ones, just fire those seed things like crazy and you win. Woo.

Platform Racing

Better. It's easy. Just win Infernal Hop using that teleport shortcut, or the Mine glitch to get through the final wall. To beat "Going Down", just jump to the left/right and move back inside the map after the layer of bricks. Then win. The other ones are pretty easy.

Also, I NEED MORE CONTRIBUTORS ='( Posting on my own makes me lonely. All you have to do is do anything decent and you're in. Even copy a walkthrough/interview from somewhere else.

The1Wizkid
First topic: Kongregate related
The1Wizkid
When/How/Why did you sign up to Kongregate?
Mistress

In July 2007, my co-worker sent me a link to Eggy’s Nodes. We loved the site because it wasn’t blocked at work. Now it is, but we manage to get in.

The1Wizkid
Can you remember your first few Kong friends at all?

Mistress

Hmm, not really. The first probably 10 friends on my list, I don’t think I have actually ever talked to them. But in the early days I met TheBarge and Vanilla_Gorilla and we still talk everyday.

The1Wizkid

Do you have any Kong “best fPublish Postriends” at all?

Mistress

Without a doubt my “best friends” on Kongregate would be TheBarge and Vanilla_Gorilla

The1Wizkid
Any friends or relatives on Kongregate that you know of?

Mistress

My coworkers signed up when I did, but they aren’t on often, if at all anymore

The1Wizkid
And how long do you spend on Kong every day?

Mistress

Oh man… well, I am on from 7:30 - 4pm every weekday. Then every night from about 8pm to atleast midnight.

The1Wizkid
Whoa o_O

Mistress

haha, yeah

The1Wizkid
And what room do you frequent the most?

Mistress

The Van!

The1Wizkid
Yay!

The1Wizkid
What’s your favourite game on Kongregate, and why?

Mistress

Desktop Tower Defense for sure. That game has provided me with hours of fun, frustrating, and angry addiction.

The1Wizkid

And what do you like most about Kong?

Mistress

We have the best community ever on a gaming site.

The1Wizkid
Yeah. w00t for Kong!

The1Wizkid

Any specific upcoming features you’re looking forward to? (I.e., Premium games/Kongai etc.)?

Mistress

Really looking forward to Kongai.

The1Wizkid

What is your favourite console?

Mistress

Xbox 360 so far, though I have yet to play Wii

The1Wizkid

What is your favourite console game?

Mistress

Of all time, that would be Legend of Zelda for Nintendo.

The1Wizkid

And at what age did you start playing console games?

Mistress

Growing up we always had games, I have two older brothers. I remember being as young as 5 playing Atari. My earliest memory is playing Mountain King and being scared of the spiders.

The1Wizkid

Haha ;D

The1Wizkid

Ok, last topic: Social Questions! (keep in mind, if you don’t want to, you DO NOT have to answer them, just say ‘Pass’)

Mistress

K

The1Wizkid

What do you do when you’re not Kongregating?

Sometimes I actually do work. When I’m not at work or on Kongregate, I am spending time with my husband and my 3 year old son.

The1Wizkid
Cool : ) And do you have any particular hobbies?

Mistress

I sing a lot, I try to go out a few times a month and my girlfriends and I will do some drinking and karaoke.

The1Wizkid

Girlfriends? Ohh, I *knew* you were a dude. ;D

Mistress

Ha

The1Wizkid

And, do you play any sport?

Mistress

Not anymore, in High School I was in dance and Volleyball. Haven’t had much time lately though.

The1Wizkid

Do you play Kong a lot at work?

Mistress

No, never.

The1Wizkid
Tssk tssk D:

Mistress

The nature of my job allows for it.

The1Wizkid

K, last one

The1Wizkid
Are you in a relationship?

Mistress

Yes, I am married; I have been with my husband for 7 years.

The1Wizkid
Ok, cool

WillianGallis Interview

An interview on the mod WillianGallis which I wrote for Kongiophobia, the blog I write interviewes for.

WillianGallis
Hello.

The1Wizky
Hai.

WillianGallis
:-)

The1Wizky
So. How did you find Kongregate?

WillianGallis
Well... I was a frequent visitor of www.onemorelevel.com site, and there I saw a refer to Kongregate. I thought "nice site, bla bla bla" and then I forgot about it. 2 days later, I see an ad in a brazilian Magazine about Kongregate. LOL!

The1Wizky
Haha! Lucky ;-)

WillianGallis
Hehe.

The1Wizky
And, how long have you been regularly visiting Kongregate for?

WillianGallis
Well, since the day I signed in, I'm here almost everyday for at least 4 hours. Really addicted. Hehe.

The1Wizky
Just 4? Haha. ;-)

WillianGallis
Notice the "At least" :-D

The1Wizky
So, how old are you?

WillianGallis
Well, my dinosaur pet is as old as me. Ok, kidding. Just 19. Signed up for Kongregate last October. 5 intense months.

The1Wizky
Hehe.

The1Wizky
What's your best achievement on Kongregate in the 5 months you've been here?

WillianGallis
Well, I don't know for sure. Probably, being the first mod of Orgulho. The room was kinda messy that time.

The1Wizky
Cool. So, when were you modded?

WillianGallis
Some time ago. Some days before X-Mas, AFAIK.

The1Wizky
And I see you're room owner of Orgulho ASWELL, too - When did THAT happen? D=

WillianGallis
Well... Actually, the room owner disappeared a long time ago. I remember everybody complaining about him, since he was never a regular user.

WillianGallis
Some guys used to say that it was kinda weird having a level 1 being the room owner. Anyway, yesterday, greg made me the room owner. XD

The1Wizky
Only yesterday? Damn, that's why I didn't notice when I entered Orgulho before. XD

WillianGallis
Hehe.

The1Wizky
Anyhoo, what's it like being a mod (and room owner)?

WillianGallis
Well... A lot of responsability. Even more in Orgulho, since none of the Staff guys know Portuguese.

The1Wizky
Any mod recommendations?

WillianGallis
Well... There is a guy I would recommend. The1Wizkid. But he is too damn nub. Oops.

WillianGallis
:-)

The1Wizky
Hehehe. ;-)

The1Wizky
And what's your favourite game on Kongregate? :-)

WillianGallis
Well... A lot of games, actually. One game that I really really like is TheCool, by customlogic.

The1Wizky
Good choice. Best soundtrack ever ;-)

WillianGallis
Of course. ;-)

The1Wizky
Also, I hear you own a Kong blog too?

WillianGallis
Well, the KongBR blog isn't mine. I'm just a collaborator. The first one, actually. So, some people tend to think the blog is mine, too, cause I do a lot of advertisement for it. XD

The1Wizky
Shame I can't understand it.. Better learn Portuguese for DA BABEZ. ;-D

WillianGallis
LOL

WillianGallis
Well, the KongBR blog isn't mine. I'm just a collaborator. The fisrt one, actually. So, some people tends to think the blog is mine, too, cause I do a lot of advertisemet for it. XD

The1Wizkid
Any final considerations?

WillianGallis
A kiss for Misty <3.

The1Wizky
Interview's over. Thanks for taking the time to participate, rival interviewer. ;-)

WillianGallis

I got a blog.

I got a blog, w00t. I probably won't ever need it, because of my Weebly one which has text and blogs anyway. But, I'm sure it'll come to some use someday. Enjoy.
