 ANDREW REINER
 EXECUTIVE EDITOR, GAME INFORMER MAGAZINE
Reiner truly believes that he is the biggest Star Wars fan in the world. Along with an ever-expanding collection of Star Wars toys, he has seen the classic trilogy 854 times, Revenge of the Sith 86 times, Attack of the Clones 147 times, The Phantom Menace 11 times, and the Darth Maul lightsaber fighting in The Phantom Menace 1,523 times. In his 11 years as a professional gamer, Reiner has achieved the impossible. Penetrating the pixel boundary, he not only plays games, he's in them. Reiner first appeared as a general in the Saturn game Dragon Force, his band is featured on the soundtrack of Saturn's Scud: The Disposable Assassin, and he can be shot daily in both the N64 game Perfect Dark and the PS2 and Xbox game XIII. He also believes that he is the sexiest man on earth and that he could beat Superman in arm wrestling if he were a real person.

Beverage And Snack of Choice  

COCA COLA OWNS MY SOUL! I also like Nerds (for obvious reasons), Swedish Fish (the only food that gets me hot and bothered), and salad (yeah I know, what gives with the greens, man!)

If I Was Stranded On A Desert Island And I Could Have Only One game It Would Be  

I would like to say Zelda or Metroid, but you have to go with the endless games like World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XI. I know, if you could communicate with the rest of the world via an MMO, then you really aren't stranded.

If I Resembled A Videogame Character It Would Be  

Kratos from God of War. He has my body! I am currently planning on suing Sony.

My Idea Of A Perfect Day Is  

Eternal darkness outside - which means people won't tell me to get off my butt to enjoy the sun. Come on, sun - burn out, baby! Burn out!
