Interview:

Samson: Why are you so awesome?

Mr. Bull: I don’t feel awesome, I feel like a normal guy with an obsessive hobby.

Samson: What made you start rapping about video games?

Mr. Bull: My love of video games and having too much free time. It also allowed me to rap about things that a middle class white guy can’t normally get away with, like guns and violence.

Samson: What are some of your favorite Gaming news/blogs you follow?

Mr. Bull: I read Kotaku fairly often, but my favourite source of gaming infotainment is the channel KitFez on YouTube, run by Kit Harrison. He has a gaming show called The Pixel show and it is hilarious.

Samson: What is your favorite play-style in Skyrim?

Mr. Bull: Complete everything as thoroughly as possible, and leave the main quest til last. I am an explorer, I like to get lost in worlds.

Samson: What is some of your favorite game music?

Mr. Bull: I loved the soundtracks from the first GTA games back in the 1990s. They are largely responsible for me getting into the music I’m still into today.

Samson: What are your top 3 video game favorites of this Decade & why?

Mr. Bull: Since 2010? Skyrim, Fallout: New Vegas and Civilization V. All of these are games that I can get utterly lost in for hours, days, weeks and months. Not many games can do that.

Samson: What are your top 3 retro video game favorites & why? 

Mr. Bull: Grand Theft Auto. It was part of my teen rebellion phase and also a thoroughly good game. Civilization II, a game I played for well over a decade. Pokemon was also my first introduction to the world of RPGs.

Samson: What project has been your favorite in your career?

Mr. Bull: I suppose making the transition from being just a musician to a “YouTube musician” – when I introduced the visual aspect to my creativity, I had a lot more fun and avenues to explore. It’s also responsible for my career now.

Samson: How big is the gaming scene in the UK?

Mr. Bull: I’m not really part of any “scene” so I’m not sure, but there are a fair few conferences such as Rezzed and Insomnia. Probably not as big as in the US but there’s definitely stuff going on.

Samson: Any plans regarding a tour for us yanks, in the US?

Mr. Bull: Not so far, but I came to LA for E3 and it was great -I would love to come back.

Samson: PS4 or XboxOne?

Mr. Bull: I’ll take the one that doesn’t constantly monitor everything I’m doing.
