Even better, someone tracked down Ronda's profile to give us a look at what she was like back when she was 16 years old.
Her description of herself:
"I'm 12 feet tall, purple, a few scales, and every hour or so a chicken falls out of my ear. You get used to it after a while. It's like the hiccups. Having all those chickens around get to be kind of a pain though."
On what she think makes a video game great:
"Games have to be fun and entertaining. The summer I got Zelda Ocarina of Time I would even dream about it. Then I'd roll out of bed and play it some more. To me games are like movies. I get emotionally involved, and that's what makes it so hard to erase an old game. I have about eight Pokemon cartridges and almost as many memory cards for various systems. I also love how games get creative on different levels. Jak and Daxter is a good example. There are things you can do on a bird, in a vehicle, on foot, down a slide, under water, and over lava. There are just a million new ways to play every level so the game doesn't get repetitive or boring."
