A Vegeta from Dragon Ball Z
Q If life is a video game, what cheat code would you want to use most?
A Ehmmm I remember using ‘Right, Down, Triangle’ in Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 to have Chad Muska do the One Footed 5-0 Thumpin’, so that or maybe ‘howdoyouturnthison’ from Age of Empires 2, which would spawn a car that shoots all my enemies… I guess it just depends on my mood!
Q Have you ever broken your friend’s bone in the past?
A Yes. I broke their ankle executing what can only be described as a textbook slide tackle in a recent game of football… this ‘friend’/acquaintance/team member got in the way and unfortunately sat out the rest of the season.
