If you could design any kind of game, what would you design?
R: I'd employ Paul Robertson, and we'd make the most insane kick ass super psycho kick-the-crap-outta-everything-that-moves kind of game. But have it set in an old people home.

B: It'd be a mid 90's style side scrolling beat ‘em up called "STANLEY GIZZARDPUNCH" and he's have a part shark-part dog-part cyborg side kick and drive a modified, turbo charged wheat thresher through enemies. The soundtrack would be solid midi guitar shredding.

R: Mostly design and animation. When we're not making QCA, we're working on our other cartoon "Friendcore". Apart from that, I love motocross and watching cartoons.
