It's always good to see a guy who pretty much works exclusively on big, tough, manly-man war games can get a little dorky, too.

Robert Bowling, creative strategist at Modern Warfare 2 developer Infinity Ward, has an unexpected, geekier pick for best war movie (though it's a lot more obvious now that he points it out). He has a great guy in mind for his real-life Spec Ops partner that will make some of you giggle. And his favorite video game of all time doesn't even have any guns in it.

Let's see what Bowling has to say in our latest installment of 21 Random Qs.

1. Favorite game gun from outside of the Call of Duty universe?

Robert Bowling: The Lincoln Repeater from Fallout 3. Something about one shot popping the heads off some Super Mutants with freedom bullets from Abraham Lincoln gets me giddy.

2. Favorite war movie?

RB: Star Wars. I mean, seriously...why is this even a question and not an assumption?

3. Which military organization in the world is the most bad-ass?

RB: There’s a reason we went with Taskforce units in Modern Warfare 2. These guys are made up of not only the most bad-ass U.S. forces, but combine it with the best multi-national forces around the world. Their experience is unmatchable.

4. If you could go back in time and meet any historical figure, who would it be?

RB: Andrew “Stonewall” Jackson. Soldier-to-public-figure personalities are some of the most interesting mentalities to me.

5. Favorite video game of all time (that you didn't work on)?

RB: Super Mario Bros. 3. It’s the one game that hasn’t lost any of its joy when I go back and play it. I have other games I remember fondly, but it’s the one that doesn’t suffer from reality when I put it back in -- simplistic fun at its finest.

6. Favorite gaming platform of all time?

RB: Super Nintendo. It was the start of my "every game has a redeeming quality" obsession, where I had to own every game simply to see what they did well, despite what they did wrong.

7. Favorite current TV show?

RB: COPS -- for life.

8. Favorite band or singer?

RB: NOFX.

9. Favorite loadout in Modern Warfare 2?

RB: For non-Hardcore [modes]: Scar-H with holographic sight, Spas-12 with red dot sight, Semtex, stun grenade x 2, Scavenger Pro, Cold-Blooded Pro, Ninja Pro.

For Hardcore: Scar-H with suppressor and holographic sight, Spas-12 with suppressor and grip, claymore, stun grenade x 2, Bling Pro, Cold-Blooded Pro, Ninja Pro. Silence is key!

10. If you could have any one piece of gear or weapon from Modern Warfare 2 to have in real life, what would it be?

RB: Tactical Insertion. I would place it in a White Castle and return anytime I need a sweet, sweet Crave Case.
