Q and A

[drauch]

Q: What's the toughest physical thing you've done in your life?

A:
One time I got a piece of fuzz stuck in my urethra, resulting in lots of discomfort. I didn't want to, ya know, put anything in there to get it out, so I had to result to other means. I tried to urinate the fuzzy particle that came from my briefs out of my man-hole, but to my avail, it did not work. I was out of options; there was no way I was going to stick anything down my urethra to dig this critter out, and I was already near being late to work, so I had to act fast. Through my own discretion I grabbed an old Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit Edition from the magazine rack in the bathroom and looked onward for inspiration from the lovely swimsuit-clad ladies. With the help of Heidi Klum I ejaculated the treacherous Fruit of the Loom fuzzball of doom out of my member and into oblivion. Soon after, the pain in drauch jr. subsided and all was well in the land of my undergarments. I even made it to work on time in good spirits--and with a story of my adventure.

Q: What's the most discomfort you've ever had with your private parts?

[RNGmaster]

A: Doing that one stretch where you lie flat and extend your limbs (thus putting all your weight on your torso) and having my scrotum trapped under my body. Felt bad, man.

Q: Why the hell do people like Ke$ha?

[sven666]

Q: Why the hell do people like Ke$ha?

nobody likes kesha, theyre just hoping to find her passed out on roofies and open to suggestions..

Q: spinning further on teh charlie sheen stuff, is there a celebrity whos opinions you actually do value?

[Ixmucane2]

Q: Why the hell do people like Ke$ha?

A: Boys like anything that can theoretically be fucked; girls like role models. Music, being only an excuse to relate a character to its audience, doesn't matter.

Q: Ke$ha is only a minor pop star. Turning our attention to musicians that consider themselves (or are marketed as) serious, talented artists of great significance, which ones do you consider actually incompetent, kitsch, pretentious posers?

[NTSC-J]

I'll answer both questions.

sven: I like Dr. Drew and Adam Carolla from Loveline. I don't agree with everything (especially when it comes to politics and war stuff) that they have to say, but I like their views on people and how they work.

ixmucane: DMX and Little Wayne suck and seem like awful people.

Well you just made my day...

[Ruldra]

Q: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

A: At one point I was telling everyone in my family that I wanted to be a fireman. Most likely I watched some movie with firefighters in it and I thought it was cool.

Q: Speaking of the french's vigesimal system, why the US insists on using the imperial system when the whole world is using the metric system?

[Obiwanshinobi]

Q: Speaking of the french's vigesimal system, why the US insists on using the imperial system when the whole world is using the metric system?

A: Because Canada, UK, Australia and some other places keep using it as well.
Q: Why does the whole world use barrels as the oil measure and inches for screens' diagonals?

[RNGmaster]

Q: Why does the whole world use barrels as the oil measure and inches for screens' diagonals?

A: Barrels are obvious, since it's the form oil is stored in most often. Inches... well... I think it's because most screens are made in Asia and shipped to the U.S, then from there traded to Europe & other places. Point is, most computers go through the U.S. at some point, and we Americans would hardly use a foreign system to measure merchandise, even when is causes headaches throughout the rest of the world.

Q: Strangest teacher you've ever had? (not bad, mind you, just eccentric)

Q: Strangest teacher you've ever had? (not bad, mind you, just eccentric)

A: My English teacher in the university was a bit weird... She liked anime, which was not so damn popular back then, and her philosophy was very original compared to my pessimism and semi-sociopathy. And after all, I dated her for 2 years, heh

Q: What current video game design trends you don't like? (ex. over-the-shoulder view, QTEs, lots of cartoonish gore, etc.)

[Ixmucane2]

Q: What current video game design trends you don't like? (ex. over-the-shoulder view, QTEs, lots of cartoonish gore, etc.)

A: Worst of all, the 3d action/adventure/FPS games that expect you to follow a single tactical approach and a prescribed correct way through contrived obstacles and false interactions; mortifying intelligence, curiosity, realism, and freedom in general. I'd rather play Doom or Unreal.
For example, Dead Space 2 has a point in which, if you dare to shoot a bunch of monsters that see you and charge across an hallway, you break a window (in space) and you are dragged slowly towards the hole without being able to move or grab something, finally dying by being crushed by the timely closure of a blast door that cannot be avoided. If you want to fight normally instead of retreating against much faster enemies, the only choice is being cut in half at the waist or at the shoulders.

Q: What current video game design trends do you like? After about 40 years of videogame tradition, someone, somewhere, must have learned something.

[NTSC-J]

A: I like the online leaderboards for shooters that also allow you to share replays. Very handy.

Q: What was the last Dreamcast game you played?

[GaijinPunch]

Q: What was the last Dreamcast game you played?

A: Jet Set Radio (original) about 2 months ago. Been meaning to bust out De La. I play either about once a year...even when I'm not gaming a hell of a lot. Love those fucking games.

Q: Is the current generation of games making you lose interest in the hobby in general?

[NTSC-J]

A: Yea, I hate the way games look and there's nothing that interests me in terms of gameplay. Outside of the Cave ports and a kanji game for DS, I haven't been game shopping in ages. For me, the late 90s and early 00s were ideal. I love how Playstation and Dreamcast games look and I think my nostalgia for those days makes me unable to enjoy games as they are now. It's also probably in part because of growing up and having different priorities in life, but I long for the days when I could get engrossed in an RPG.

Q: Who's your favorite comic book supervillian?

[EinhanderZwei]

A: Original as hell, but the Joker

Q: What's your favorite Diablo-style game (outside of Diablo itself)?

[CptRansom]

A: Titan Quest Immortal Throne

Q: What's the worst date you've ever had?

[sven666]

Q: What's the worst date you've ever had?

took an internet date out once, she weighed twice (atleast) what she claimed and her pictures showed, drove her around for 5mins on my motorbike (damn ner bottomed out my rearshock) and dropped her off, declined the coffe and drove off into the sunset never to be seen again.

Q: whats the best live concert youve been to and why?

[Vyxx]

Q: whats the best live concert youve been to and why?

I can narrow it down to 2 concerts, for various reasons:

1. Tool & Mastodon. -- I don't think I need to explain this one.
2. Between the Buried and Me. -- Awesome band, and since the opening band was caught with marijuana coming into Canada they weren't allowed to cross the boarder, so BTBAM played a nearly 2 hour show, which included their whole "Colors" Album from start to finish. Plus, I was stoned beyond belief so it was almost a religious experience.

Q: Tattoos. Love them, hate 'em? Have any?

[Ruldra]

Q: Tattoos. Love them, hate 'em? Have any?

A: They look cool, but I wouldn't dare to have one. I'm certain I'd get bored of it at some point and would want it removed, so I don't bother in the first place.

Q: Is it okay to date a friend's ex, assuming you still want to keep the friendship?

[CptRansom]

A: You should definitely talk to the friend about it first, especially if it was a messy breakup.

Q: Have you ever had an "Oh shit I just realized I'm getting old" moment? If so, when?

[EinhanderZwei]

A: I constantly have those when all my friends are praising movies/videogames that try so hard on presentation, but have no artistic value to offer. For example, each time I say that I hate Fahrenheit and CoD: Modern Warfare, everyone goes 'WHOOAAA????'

Q: What do you think of current 3D movie craze? Is it just an overpriced gimmick, or a real advance for cinematography as an art?

[nash87]

unless the entire movie is 3d (like piranha 3d) it's just an overpriced gimmick. but when the entire movie is 3d, i think it is quite an advancement.

i am dating one of my friends ex's and i didn't talk to him about it first because obviously he wouldn't have been okay with it. the new relationship has distanced me from a couple of my friends, but i really do love this girl and we've both had the hots for each other for close to a year. what should i do to help this situation? i constantly get accused of breaking the hos before bros rule when really a couple of the bros just don't wanna hang with the ho.

[emphatic]

i constantly get accused of breaking the hos before bros rule when really a couple of the bros just don't wanna hang with the ho.

Show her this post, referring to her as a "ho". Problem solved. Or just hang out with her friends for a while?

Q: If you where king for a day, what's your first order?

From my experience you can't have both the girl and your friend. They don't want to see each other and whoever you side with will want you to stay away from the other person. So it's a matter of who you care for the most. In my case, I ended up sticking with the 'bros before hos' rule as I figured that ruining a friendship for some girl I probably wouldn't last long with anyway wasn't worth it.

[GaijinPunch]

Q: If you where king for a day, what's your first order?

I've actually made a list in my head, but they all pertain to Japan, and they are all serious. However, in light of the Earthquake and the local blackouts, there's one thing that really irks the fuck out of me: over packaging. Japanese have some gene that tells them everything must be individually wrapped inside the fucking grocery bag. If it's a jar, it'll be wrapped in foam and then a god damn paper bag. So stupid. I want to donkey punch all employees the two stores that are the highest offending: Kinokuniya and Seijo Ishii. So, that's my #1.

A: Do you wear a suit to work?

[CptRansom]

A: No, but only because I don't have any (something I hope to rectify over the next year or so).

Q: Do you keep a journal? If so, why and for how long? If not, why not?

[EinhanderZwei]

Q: Do you keep a journal? If so, why and for how long? If not, why not?

A: Yeah, I do. Won't give the link, 'cause it's in Russian. I keep it for 5-6 yrs, and first I've tried writing down my daily activities, thoughts, etc., but then resorted just to reporting on my hobbies (Which games I've played, which movies watched and which albums listened to) and posting reviews/interesting links

Q: What do you think of NGP?

[Ixmucane2]

Q: What do you think of NGP?

A: Google thinks "NGP" is Sony's Next Generation Portable, so I'll answer on that.
I don't trust Sony since the CD rootkit scandal, and I won't buy any product from them regardless of quality.

Q: Are you addicted to mobile gaming? How often do you unholster your cellphone or pocket console to play games in public, while you wait, and so on?

[antares]

Totally addicted, I play on my iPod touch or Nintendo DS all the time while I'm in the bus, subway, etc. Even when I'm sitting on the toilet.

It often takes days or even weeks for a new reply in this thread and rarely are there two or three on the same day. But on April 1st this thread got 13 replies! Any explanation for this?

A: It was only April 1st in some parts of the world... but maybe everyone likes all those retarded gaming April Fools posts. Bloodflowers has the right idea. Just never show up on the interwebs. (Hope he's doing okay, btw).

Q: What would be the most unstoppable force: Tobias Funke + D'Fwan, or Chuck Norris + the guy in P90X?
