Here at Sega Nerds, we bring you an exclusive face-to-pixel chat with a Sega Character. This week we have none other then that international man of mystery, Howard Gibson.

Howard Gibson appeared in Hitmaker’s Confidential Mission for Dreamcast back in 2001. He is a secret agent for the CMF, ladies man and an all around one-liner machine. Let’s See how life for a CMF Agent is in todays world.

Seganerds: I’ve never heard of the CMF. Are you sure you didn’t just make it up? What does it even stand for?

Howard Gibson: CMF means Confidential Mission Force. What we do is confidential. That’s why the agency is kept secret.

Seganerds: Are you sure it isn’t just something you say to pick up women? I mean, I checked Wikipedia and it wasn’t on there. Wikipedia has the know how, dude.

Howard Gibson: Wikipedia is reader edited. You could just put anything on there.

Seganerds: Which is precisely why it’s so strange that the CMF isn’t on there. Well, CMF is on there technically, but according to this it means Cyclophosphamide Methotrexate Fluorouracil. NOT Confidential Mission Force. You lose, pal.

Howard Gibson: None of those are even real words, I would know, I’m a secret agent. Who are you gonna believe, some guy in his parents basement editing Wikipedia all day or Howard Gibson: CMF Agent?

Seganerds: I guess you’re right.

Howard Gibson: In fact, I actually edit out the CMF entry on Wikipedia just to keep the agency under wraps. We don’t want that information falling into the wrong hands.

Seganerds: Woah, wait. You actually have time in your busy secret agent schedule to constantly monitor the Wikipedia entry for the CMF to ensure it’s kept a secret?

Howard Gibson: Uh, actually the CMF has an Anti-Wiki Task Force set up to constantly combat the forces of Wikipedia.

Seganerds: Now I know your just making this stuff up to pick up women. None of this makes sense and you’re obviously making it up as you go along.

Howard Gibson: You see, I do this to keep my enemies confused.

Seganerds: It works.

Howard Gibson: That’s what I get paid for.

Seganerds: What kind of training to CMF Agents have to go through?

Howard Gibson: You basically have to shoot moving targets and figure out the difference between a friendly target and a hostile one. It’s a grueling training course that can last about, oh, 5…6 minutes.

Seganerds: CMF Agents have 5 minute training?

Howard Gibson: Well, one-liner training lasts 2 years and only the best of the best can pass it. Agents are taught how to adapt to any situation and use one-liners accordingly. You can’t just go out there and spout one-liners haphazardly. That’s what separates the men from the boys in my line of work.

Seganerds: …One-liner training?

Howard Gibson: Oh, you think it’s funny, rookie. Go ahead, give me your best one-liner. I can take it.

Seganerds: Well, give me a scenario.

Howard Gibson: Ok, you just had this epic fight with three ninja’s on a plane rigged to explode, you then use a flash grenade built into your watch to blind them. Just before you jump out of the plane…what do you turn to them and say?

Seganerds: “This is your captain speaking: You may be about to experience some turbulance.”

Howard Gibson: …That was pathetic. Only a rookie would have gone with that one.

Seganerds: What would you have said then?

Howard Gibson: I could tell you, but then I would have to kill you.

Seganerds: Ok, I’m dropping these interviews at the first death threat from now on.
