Get To Know Your Geeks: Colette Bennett
This week on Get To Know Your Geeks we talk to the newest Geek, Colette Bennett. Colette comes to us from the fantastic Destructoid, and co-hosts the podcast.
When did you first discover you were a geek?
I was about 6 years old. My family and I used to go visit my uncle and aunt about one Sunday a month, and my uncle had a PC and an Atari. I played Zork over and over no matter how many times it frustrated me. I think that's likely when I had it nailed.
What is the one video game you keep coming back to no matter how many times you've played it?
The Legend of Zelda for NES. I just never seem to get over it.
What is your day job?
I work for an armored car company locating lost money. It's a weird job but I like it.
If you were stranded on an island with a dvd player and could only bring ONE dvd or dvd set, what would you bring?
That question is just evil. However, I would probably bring The Last Unicorn.
Put your music on shuffle and hit play. What comes up?
Joshua Radin, Damien Rice, Snow Patrol, Lisa Gerrard, Tiga, Katamari Damacy soundtrack.
How long have you been with The Weekly Geek, and what is your favorite thing you have done so far for the site?
I think it's been for a few months now. I do The Weekly Geek podcast and I absolutely love it and am very proud of it.
What blogs do you regularly read?
Destructoid, Ectoplasmosis, Cute Overload, Sexy Videogameland
Do you have any non-geek related hobbies?
Uh....I like going to the zoo. That's not geeky, right?
What was the worst video game you have ever played?
Nightmare on Elm Street for the NES. WRETCHED.
What say you?!
