Q and A

A: Read her dream journals out to her new boyfriend (she's much older than me). The journals had a lot of romantic content from a childhood crush, so it was pretty embarassing for her.
Q: What have you seen that you wish you could unsee?

Post by **undamned** » Fri Feb 04, 2011 2:43 am

A: Many hours of pointless TV through the years. If I had all that time back, that would be quite the vacation!

Q: If you were forced to abandon your place of residence and could only walk away with what you could fit in your pockets, what would you keep?

A: I do my multitasking on a Mac Pro with a ridiculous CPU and gobs of RAM. I have Spaces setup in 4 logical desktops for my workflow. Generally I'll also have anywhere from 1-3 virtual machines running to enable connectivity to multiple customer VPNs, along with the tools that I need for each one. OSX and my main apps are on an SSD, while all the VMs are on a 10,000 RPM drive.

Q: PSP2 or 3DS and why? (neither is not an answer)

Ixmucane2 · Post by **Ixmucane2** » Fri Feb 04, 2011 9:50 am

A: 3DS, only because of legacy DS games.
Q: Have you ever broken handheld consoles, joysticks, gamepads etc. because of intense playing?

A: If that counts, my keyboard started malfunctioning right after I've beaten Super Metroid in ZSNES

Q: What do you think of AVGN?

RNGmaster · Post by **RNGmaster** » Sat Feb 05, 2011 12:41 am

A: If you're a kid, you'll probably think he's real edgy, but it's just a character and not even a particularly entertaining one at that. He does occasionally highlight some interesting games, but most of the time he just ridicules the game's sprites and makes scat jokes. I prefer Zero Punctuation, since he at least gives valid criticism, even if it's way too negative about everything.
Q: For those of you in the service industry, what's the single worst customer you have ever had?

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Sat Feb 05, 2011 9:19 am

As someone who has worked in the service industry, I can honestly say that women are by and large awful tippers: all races. With men, it gets to be more of a racial game (at least when the tipee is white). I won't get into specifics, but know that I have friends of every bit of every spectrum you can imagine, so it's factually based (at least in my experience). Best customers ever: gay men across the board (no pun intended).

Working in Retail/restuarants/hotels from high school through college, I never had an irate customer. One or two that were pissed off with me b/c I didn't get all weird when they were worked up, but that's it.

Q: Is there any bigger piece of shit software on the planet than iTunes? Please don't say something by Microsoft or some shitty PS2 Cave port. Be original.

BPzeBanshee · Post by **BPzeBanshee** » Sat Feb 05, 2011 10:45 am

A: VGMTrans.
If it works, you can drag and drop DS ROMs onto it and it *might* actually do its job and load the music in its proper format which you can then extract to MIDIs and their respective DLS libraries, thus extracting DS music and having the stuff needed to 'remix' the tracks. The menu and buttons do not work at all and most of the time it will just crash outright.

Q: Racism. It's not nice, but in your case is it with honest reason?

Ruldra · Post by **Ruldra** » Thu Feb 24, 2011 2:25 pm

A: Apparently no one here is a racist. Which is a good thing.

Q: Why japanese anime/games often has that young sister who is not related by blood? Is adoption a common thing in Japan or is it a way to say "it's okay, you can bang her"?

Q:) What's the most money you have ever thrown down for a single, hobby related item(non-game related if possible)?

Post by **undamned** » Thu Feb 24, 2011 10:11 pm

A.) Not very impressive, but maybe like $125 for a Microchip firmware development kit.
Q.) Have you ever been banned from a forum and if so, what for?

RNGmaster · Post by **RNGmaster** » Thu Feb 24, 2011 11:21 pm

A. Not sure if TVTropes counts, but everyone kept linking to Fetish Fuel for absolutely everything and I just lost it. Christ, do I need to hear about what random people on the internet fap to? Random idiots who don't know that there's a Fanservice page which in much more appropriate in cases where the appeal was obvious (e.g. Mai Shiranui)? And do I really need to put up with the fact that 70% of the works people talk about are anime or manga (or Touhou fangames)?

It was a den of weeaboos and I'm glad I left.

Q. What are your favorite cuisines?

Post by **Icarus** » Thu Feb 24, 2011 11:36 pm

RNGmaster wrote:Q. What are your favorite cuisines?

A: Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese and Italian. I'm Vietnamese, so the first three are a given. I like to sample other cultures as well, however, as I don't believe that it is a good idea limiting yourself to a select few cultures of cuisine - lots of nice stuff out there. Even more fun mixing them up in the kitchen for a variety of flavors.

Q: Total up every hard drive and writable/written disc media you own - desktop, laptop, console, portable drive, mobile device, DVD-R etc. How much does it total up to? And what's your largest data collection comprised of?

A) a guy biting the head off a cobra and spitting it at my feet when i was 7 years old (only in hong kong). I also have 1TB dedicated to anime and anime OST.

Q) cant really picture when ive been most offended by a comment by someone. Ive had some bad ones but nothing which has made me reel or wince at the highest level of disgust in someone. anyway tell me about when you were most offended by something someone said?

I fancy myself as being unoffendable for the most part... having a dry sense of humor (and being the butt of most jokes your entire childhood helps). I've definitely said a few things in my time. Just last night some rather flamboyant mates of mine commented on a "fat" doll (which happened to dance and take her clothes off). I said, "it's okay, she just has to date black guys". I didn't think much of it... just pointing to the stereotype of black guys liking big asses. True or not, I thought it worked. Maybe a little un-PC, but I don't think bad or malicious. SNL did a sketch on it and Lisa Lampanelli started here career on it. Haha. Maybe gay guys just don't know?

Anyway, probably the most uncomfortable I'd have been when someone goes off on a religious/political tirade, and is just fucking wrong. If it's just me, I grin and bear it. If it's in front of someone else, I get that uncomfortable burning sensation... you know, in the gut, not the cock like an STD. Can't think of the last time it's happened specifically... only a few times in my life probably. Like I said, I'm easy going.

Q: What's your favorite new phrase coined by Charlie Sheen?

Q: What's your favorite new phrase coined by Charlie Sheen?

"Dying is for fools."

Q:If you could murder any celebrity and get off free by law enforcement, who would you kill? How would you commit the murder? (This should be interesting...)

saucykobold · Post by **saucykobold** » Fri Mar 04, 2011 7:14 am

Murder is pretty unethical, so no one.

Castlevania or Ghosts 'n Goblins?

Despatche · Post by **Despatche** » Fri Mar 04, 2011 10:38 am

Makaimura. (!)

Castlevania or Ninja Gaiden (as in Ryukenden)? (Sorry.)

A:
Castle-whipping-vania all the way, though I gotta admit I haven't actually played either of those games you mentioned.

Q:
On a serious note from my little bit of lulz in the Raiden Fighters Aces thread, do you think RFA will be released first or Duke Nukem Forever?

Despatche · Post by **Despatche** » Sun Mar 06, 2011 1:27 am

(When I said that, I was referring to the original "Ninja Gaiden" trilogy, using "Ryukenden" to differentiate this trilogy from the newer games.)

A: I haven't read that thread, but I'm just going to assume RFA-E.

Q: Do you know someone (or multiple people) who actually doesn't like The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past?

Stormwatch · Post by **Stormwatch** » Sun Mar 06, 2011 7:23 am

(There's also that awful Ninja Gaiden arcade.)

A: No, and I suspect that's impossible. LttP = best Zelda.

Q: Why the hell do the French insist on using a vigesimal system? I mean, seriously, the Belgians and Swiss speak French too, but don't have to deal with that "quatre-vingt" crap! (Also: why the hell did I decide to study that horrible language?

)

guigui · Post by **guigui** » Tue Mar 08, 2011 4:37 pm

A : Because we are just so cool : "quatre-vingt-dix pour la victoire" <-> "ninety FTW"

Q : What is the longest time you spent on the road/public transport by week to get to work ? (My currently record is 15 hours...)

KindGrind · Post by **KindGrind** » Tue Mar 08, 2011 6:33 pm

(Swiss and Belgians don't really speak French.

)

guigui wrote:Q : What is the longest time you spent on the road/public transport by week to get to work ? (My currently record is 15 hours...)

A : Probably an hour/day on the road, give or take, which isn't too bad considering I live in the suburbs and have to cross a bridge to get to work.

Q: Apart from obvious active warzones, what country would you never visit and why?

Stormwatch · Post by **Stormwatch** » Tue Mar 08, 2011 7:16 pm

(I guess the French would say the same about you Quebecers...

)

A: I'd avoid China, Cuba, all of the Middle East, most of Africa... well, anywhere that's a dictatorship.

Q: How can I convince Nintendo to let me direct a Star Fox movie? I'd certainly treat the franchise better than they do!

Wow, for once we agree on something. Although I hear Cuba is beautiful, and an excellent place to visit. Trying to figure out a good time to go in the next 5 years.

Q: How can I convince Nintendo to let me direct a Star Fox movie? I'd certainly treat the franchise better than they do!

You cannot. They are a large corporation. You can't convince them of anything. And game-based movies suck, so...

Q: What the fuck is your current ring tone?
