[MPGH]Hunter: Hi, Genesis. How is life been treating you?
[MPGH]Genesis: It's been good recently. Obviously, this year has had its ups and downs, but things have been progressing slowly and I have my own place now. It's a bit jarring being separated from the people you grew up with as well as family, especially now living further away from them then I have ever been before, but it's something I will get used to. It's kind of surreal actually, all my life I wanted my own place, and to do it at 19 is kind of awesome even if it's just a small apartment. I really don't know how to feel emotionally, I think it will sink in with due time though. My life right now has it's stressful moments but so does everybody else's life, it's how we deal with these moments that makes us who we are, sometimes I haven't dealt with them well in the past but that's why you make mistakes, to not make them twice!
[MPGH]Hunter: Indeed, everything is fine as long as you learn from your mistakes. It is actually nice to know that your life has been settled, even if just for now. Now, speaking more about a MPGH wise matter, remind us, why did you join MPGH in the first place and how did you find out about it?
[MPGH]Genesis: Life is what you make of it, and I'm trying to make of it a lot more than what I used to. Hmmm, that's a good question; why did any of us join MPGH? I think the most popular answer would be because we suck at games and we need tools to help us succeed because we're absolutely awful people with no social lives and get our kicks from watching other people suffer as the hard earned money they spent in a game all turns to nothing when they're unfairly killed in game. Uhhh, I didn't really mean that last part. Or did I? Yeah, it was a combination of those things for me though, sadly. When I joined MPGH I was an immature little kid who liked making other people in games rage because he was no good at them himself. I can't lie there, but how many of us here are any different? Long story short; I discovered MPGH because I suck at games and I searched up how to own noobs without having any skill at all. And I'm still around because of the people that I got to know during those times, of course. They were better times where I didn't know any better and was still an immature little kid, heh.
[MPGH]Hunter: I assume that MPGH might have changed your personality for the better then? Assuming it from what I just read.
[MPGH]Genesis: For the better? I guess. I learned how to deal with a lot of different kinds of people during the time I've spent here, and even though I'm not active as much anymore, the time I did spend here was real and the memories I shared with people and the knowledge I acquired will always be there. Obviously nothing is smooth sailing, and my relationships with some certain people haven't been smooth sailing, especially during the tough times I was going through earlier this year. But yeah, it's definitely bettered me as a person, no doubt.
[MPGH]Hunter: "I learned how to deal with a lot of different kinds of people during the time I've spent here", General must of helped you knowing a wide variety of people. What are your favorite MPGH sections and do any of them have to do with any games/activities that you play/practice currently?
[MPGH]Genesis: General is really wacky, but it's the heart of MPGH, Everyone's lives have definitely been changed by the escapades of the people in the General section, whether we like to admit it or not. The MPGH sections that will go down as my all time favourites are obviously the ones I used to moderate back when I was a minion. I can't remember them ALL at this point in time because there were a few, however Combat Arms, which was the first section I got minion for and the first game I ever hacked on, and the Steam games section were my go to sections to visit back during my hayday as a MPGH minion. I got given the steam games section minion a couple months after I became Combat Arms minion and I enjoyed the activity inside that section as there was always a lot to do. These days i'm not into games as much as I used to be, actually I've really gone off online games, nothing stimulates my interest as much as it used to, I've got heaps of matters to attend to irl which keeps me too busy for games, however I did frequent the League of Legends section until I quit the game 2 months ago, and that's about all really. General is God.
[MPGH]Hunter: Since you have mentioned your 'minionship', how did you feel when you realized that you had been given Combat Arms Minion?
[MPGH]Genesis: I remember the day pretty well actually, I walked out on school early that day because I was so hyped for my 'minionship' as you call it, I was checking my phone almost all the time during the week that the minions were meant to be selected, and it happened around lunch time here in Melbourne, AUS, where I live. I remember being in class that day frantically refreshing mpgh on my phone like I always would during that week of my life and on one fateful refresh I noticed my username turned from the normal colour into the tinge of aqua/green we're all familiar with when it comes to Minions, and I might have squealed a little. I didn't last long at school that day like I said, I skipped the final two classes of that day to go home and perform my first actions as a minion which I believe I checked a file from the Combat Arms section and approved it. This was after I read all the minion rules and regulations of course, come on, I was terrible with keeping attention in class but with the minion stuff the hype was real.
[MPGH]Hunter: It's so great when people truly appreciate the opportunities they are given. Alright, let's leave MPGH related matters aside for now. Regarding the upcoming Holidays, do you already feel their spirit getting through your heart and have you already bought all the presents to offer to your closest loved ones or not really?
[MPGH]Genesis: I love the holiday period but not for all the right reasons. Christmas is a great tradition and brings joy to many however if there's one thing that really gets on my nerves about this period of the year is the darn music. I can't stand Christmas songs, I don't know why, call me the Grinch.... I think I've just had one too many years of hearing the music but yeah I was doing some shopping earlier today and all I heard playing throughout the store was Christmas music. Fair enough it's that time of year but if I were working there I'd have run out and claimed insanity, it's just something I really can't stand, lol. Have I bought presents for people? Yeah, I have. Obviously my family mainly. But I spent the most money on myself. I finally turned to the dark side and earlier today purchased an iPhone 6s Plus. It chunked my wallet but I felt I needed a little change from Android as my galaxy s6 was unfortunately running into many problems and because i'm still contracted with my S6 i'm planning on sending it back to my phone carrier and getting a brand new replacement model to sell and ease the pain of being an iSheep. I regret nothing! Oh yeah, I want a white Christmas too! (No, not a darn racist joke) - I'm sick of living in the southern hemisphere where it's always stinkin hot during December and then seeing all those stereotypical American Christmas movies where it's white and snowing. Where's the love for Aussies!? Where's my snow!?
[MPGH]Hunter: That's a good question. Where's your snow?! In the air, I guess.
If you were given the opportunity to practice sports related to snow such as snowboarding, etc, would you practice it? Also, which sports do you currently practice if you practice any?
[MPGH]Genesis: Yeah it's in the air, the only snow I've seen in my life is my one visit to the mountains as a kid. It doesn't fall at all really here, because the ground temperature is usually pretty hot even in winter, our winters would be considered mild compared to America's. I couldn't answer your question because I've never been able to experience snowboarding nor have I been exposed to it, it's not a very "Aussie" thing to do due to the lack of snow here obviously, we prefer Surfboarding, and no i'm not that stereotypical surfboarder beach goer Australian. I'm un-coordinated as fuck. I did swimming for a while which I enjoyed, and I tried my best to practice soccer but I just didn't have the technical ability to do it properly. I'm not doing anything sports related right now, but I enjoy watching all kinds of sports.
[MPGH]Hunter: Alright, time is running up. Before we end this interview, would you like to give any shoutouts or anything of that sort to anyone in special?
[MPGH]Genesis: Yeah speaking of Time running up, shoutouts to my biggest nigga @

Shoutouts to the admin and mod team as well, not because I'm a suckup, just because of all the work they do to keep this crazy site going. That's about it I think.
[MPGH]Hunter: It's been a pleasure to interview you. Thank you for time and happy holidays!
[MPGH]Genesis: Eh, the pleasure's mine. Glad to share my experiences and stuff. Happy holidays to all.
