RAPHAEL SAADIQ
FAVORITE GAME: NBA 2K2 [for the PlayStation 2]
WHAT KIND OF SKILLS DO YOU NEED? ''There's a lot of controlling -- and lots of buttons that you have to press. That's why guys like my kind get into it.''
WHICH GUYS? ''It's a big deal at the studio. Everybody gets their skills up so that when they see each other they can talk a little trash.''
DO TELL... ''Snoop is real competitive.''
WHAT ABOUT VIOLENT GAMES? ''I don't play the shoot-'em-ups. I play the sports games. I've got my nephews playing them -- I don't want them going outside shooting nobody.''
YOU SEEM TO REALLY ENJOY YOUR VIDEOGAMES. DO YOU PLAY ON THE ROAD? ''Oh, I play it everywhere I go. If I leave my PS2 at home I'll go buy another one.''
OKAY... ''I'm a little addicted.''
