Mr. Peters,
we are honored to be in your very presense.
We have heard so many great things about you
over the past year, and were very excited
when you agreed to this interview. |
| peters: |
Of course you are. |
| gg.com: |
We want to relate some
mail-in questions that readers have asked
us to ask you, if that's alright? |
| peters: |
Um, sure. |
| gg.com |
Alright... a reader wants
to know if you still wear a mustache, like
you did in that picture
of you playing synthesizer? |
| peters: |
My mustache has grown down around my chin
at this point, but the answer would be yes.
And it's /not/ grey |
| gg.com: |
Do you ever get food
stuck in it? Like, salmon or tuna fish? |
| peters: |
Not unless I eat while hanging upside down.
You mean the mustache, right? |
| gg.com: |
Yes. And have you ever?
Eaten upside down, that is? |
| peters: |
Um, my wife asks that I refrain from answering
that question. |
| gg.com |
Do you feel that there
should be more characters in ARG games with
mustaches? Perhaps even beards? |
| peters: |
Well, that would be nice, as everyone would
know that it would be a nod to me. (all-knowing
smirk) |
| gg.com: |
Alright... another reader
wants to know, what connection did you *really*
have with the LockJaw Puppetmasters? |
| peters: |
Just an IRC connection i didn't know about.
I KNEW NOTHING! |
| gg.com: |
Oh? Care to explain? |
| peters: |
There were PM spies in IRC, but I didn't
know who they were. You'd have to ask /another/
nameless channel op about that. His initials
are SB, but I shouldn't tell you his name |
| gg.com: |
You're avoiding the question,
Steve... You can't avoid it all your life,
but for now, we'll allow it. Speaking of ARGs,
are you excited for the upcoming Chasing The
Wish campaign? |
| peters: |
Yes, although I have a phobia about extra
digits. And that six-fingered thing just creeps
me out. |
| gg.com: |
What exactly
about it creeps you out? |
| peters: |
Well, is that sixth finger a real finger,
or is it just skin shaped like a finger, all
wiggly and gross?You know, like the skin under
my grandma's arms? (shudder) It's just wrong,
Itell ya. |
| gg.com: |
Fair enough. You've been
around a long time in this genre. Anything
you;ve ever been a part of that you now wish
you hadn't? |
| peters: |
Um, well, there was this time i got in a
cab and discovered the driver was crazy. So
yeah, i should've walked that day. |

Can Steve Peters tell who the prime minister
of Canada is without looking it up? |
| peters: |
Margeaux Hemmingway? William Shatner? Paul
Schaeffer? |
| gg.com: |
WRONG, Mr. Peters, WRONG.
We knew we'd get down to the bottom of your
anti-Canadian ways sooner or later. What is
it about Canada that has you soo ticked off? |
| peters: |
No, I love canada. I used to live in Seattle
and go there all the time for prescription
medicine! Except I'm having a hard time with
the Celine Dion thing, but iwon't hold a grudge. |
| gg.com: |
So, it's the lack of
quality washroom facilities in Canadian gas
station rest stops that has you angry? |
| peters: |
Okay, you got it out of me! I was once
cavity searched for firearms at the border
in Blaine. |
| gg.com: |
And was it rough? (pause) Was it? |
| peters: |
I /told/ the guy i didn't have any guns,
and he just kept saying "what abooot
in here? what abooot up in here?" |
| gg.com: |
How dare you insult the Canadian public
like that? What makes you any better than
a Canadian citizen? |
| peters: |
Well, let me try to remember what kind of
flag it is up there on the moon. Oh, that's
right. it's AN AMERICAN FLAG! |
| gg.com: |
Speaking of moons, here's one you might
*not* have seen in the past! *mooning* Good
day sir!
|
| peters: |
Is that a flag in there? |
