- First off could you introduce yourself? let everyone know your first name, age, and the city/state/country that you live in?
My name is Nick. I'm 17 at the moment, turning 18 in just less than 2 weeks (July 8th). I'm from London, Ontario, Canada.

- What does a typical day for you consist of?
Now that school is finally over, my typical day starts when I wake up at 8:30. I make breakfast, and then watch sports highlights for about half an hour. I then go for a 5km jog. Once I get home, I'll have a shower, brush my teeth, and probably go on the computer for a bit. I really only play FFR while I'm on the computer. At about 10:30, I'll make myself some more food, not too big of a meal, just something to keep myself satisfied. I'll probably go back on the computer after that meal until about noon. At noon I workout for about an hour. After that my girlfriend (Kaylee-) will probably come over, and we'd hangout until around 10:00 pm. After she leaves, I'll either go to bed, or play more FFR for a little while.

- Video games aside, do you have any hobbies? play any instruments?
I'm very active. I love running and working out. I used to play hockey, for about 10 years, but injuries lately have forced me to quit.

- How long have you been playing FFR/stepmania, and how often do you play in a week?
I was first introduced to FFR by a friend back in 7th grade. I played super casually on and off for awhile, but after FFR came back from being down for almost a year, I started playing a lot, and found myself getting quite good quickly. I have been playing ever since (albeit I usually stop playing for almost a month quite frequently).

- Could you let everyone know what settings you use for FFR/stepmania? (engine, keys, speed mod, up/downscroll ect.)
I use x2.0 speed mod, upscroll on the Velocity Engine. My key setup changes very often, as I like the feeling of new keys. Right now it is DF[]. I don't play Stepmania.

- Do you have any warmup routines, or have any silly/odd way of warming up before you play?
For my first game, I will usually play a really hard song (to me at least), like Death Piano, Winter Wind Etude, and La Campanella. I try to play those songs quite a bit, to improve on stamina and speed.

- What are some of your notable FFR/SM achievements you have accomplished that you are most proud of?
I'm not sure if I'm really proud of any of my scores yet. I remember absolutely freaking out over a year ago when I got my first FMO AAA on The Divine Suicide of K. On the same day I also AAA'd Im Sick of Uprock. It took me months to AAA another FMO.

- Do you have any personal FFR/SM goals you have set for yourself?
Improving on my speed/left handed jacking is always something I aim at improving. AAA'ing a former FGO (now it would be 77+ to me) is something I'm trying to do right now. PA'ing harder songs isn't really all that possible for me at the moment.
