5. How important a factor is climate/the weather in where you live?

1. What is your current favorite outfit?
Recently purchased a bitchin' pinstriped suit. So that, though I only wear it for interviews to keep it clean.
2. What are the five websites you spend the most time at, besides the DL? (Just a board/site name if you want to keep the URL private)
Facebook, Reddit, Al Jazeera, Cracked, and a bunch of webcomics that I don't really visit one more than the other.
3. What are you doing this summer? Is it any different then what you usually do?
Working, reading, maybe preparing to go to Japan. If not, looking for another job, maybe going to some concerts. Fairly standard.
4. Would you favor a change to your national election system? (IE getting rid of the US electorial college for the US, changing the brit system, etc)
Specific changes I'm not sure about, but boy do I hate the Electoral college.
5. How important a factor is climate/the weather in where you live?
Not snowy year round and I'll be happy.
6. What is the last book you read? What is the current book you're reading, if anything?
Last one I read: Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami. Amazing book. Currently reading Blood Meridian and V for Vendetta on and off.
7. Do you own a computer? If so, what brand/model is it? Do you like your computer?
Dell Dimension 5000 something, and an Acer Aspire 1 netbook. Love both, though the former's showing its age and the latter's slowly deteriorating because I carry it around everywhere.
8. What is your favorite fighting game? Your favorite FPS game?
Smash Brothers Brawl, and I'm going to lump all the source engine games (TF2/L4D/HL2/etc) into one answer because I'm lazy.
9. Do you gamble at all? If so, how much do you gamble?
Occasionally. In Britain I'd throw a couple pounds into the gambling machines if my friends were doing it too (Pub Quiz usually). Here I bet people a beer every now and again, but that's about it.

Everything during Steam's Holiday Sale.
11. Do you play PC games much at all?
More than consoles/handhelds, at this point.
12. Do you consider yourself addicted to the internet? Could you go without the 'net for a couple of weeks and not miss it?
Even when I was travelling I popped into internet cafes to check my e-mail at the very least. I'm probably addicted, but part of it is that the useful parts of the internet (communications) are so useful that going without it is difficult.
13. Did you play board games growing up? Which ones did you play if you did?
Not really.
14. Do you have a good relationship with your siblings? If you're a single child, would you want siblings?
Now that my sister and I don't live together we get along pretty well.
15. How many of your friends/family smoke? Do you smoke?
About half my friends smoke. I smoke sometimes when I'm really drunk, but smoking much beyond that would cut into my booze budget. >_>
-
1. Clothes?
2. SA, GameFAQs, Cracked.com, TVTropes, my college's website
3. Working, hopefully. Not any different.
4. Term Limits. Politics was not meant to be a vocation.
5. Not very.
6. Re-read of a Song of Ice and Fire, just finished A Feast For Crows. Haven't decided what to read now.
7. Yes, it's a custom built PC. I like it just fine when it isn't getting weird about drivers.
8. Street Fighter 2; Deus Ex
9. I don't gamble
10. Team Fortress 2, easily. 500 hours and counting.
11. Yep
12. I certaintly depend on it for most of my entertainment, so I'd get pretty bored fast.
13. Yes; Monopoly and Yahtzee mostly
14. Yes
15. Mother, father, little sister, both grandparents on my father's side, the majority of my uncles and aunts. I don't smoke.
-
1. What is your current favorite outfit?
SUIT UP.
2. What are the five websites you spend the most time at, besides the DL? (Just a board/site name if you want to keep the URL private)
More than the DL, Wikipedia, ESPN, Classicbattletech.com/forums, somethingawful and hulu.
3. What are you doing this summer? Is it any different then what you usually do?
I'm going to work all summer, just like always.
4. Would you favor a change to your national election system? (IE getting rid of the US electorial college for the US, changing the brit system, etc)
I've always felt voter apathy is greatly reinforced by the 2000 election, which exposed our system as a sham.
5. How important a factor is climate/the weather in where you live?
Like, why I live there? I moved back here because I'm from here.
6. What is the last book you read? What is the current book you're reading, if anything?
I'm waiting for Chuck Palahniuk's new book. Read the first two chapters as a sample. Last book I read was the Art of War.
7. Do you own a computer? If so, what brand/model is it? Do you like your computer?
Yeah. It's custom built.
8. What is your favorite fighting game? Your favorite FPS game?
Soul Calibur 4, probably. FPS-wise, Deus Ex, the best game ever.
9. Do you gamble at all? If so, how much do you gamble?
Yes, and as much as I'm willing to lose. And if I don't lose all of it, or I make money, that's extra cool. The game's really the thing.
10. What is the best entertainment purchase you've made in the last year?
Mass Effect 2.
11. Do you play PC games much at all?
Probably more than console games.
12. Do you consider yourself addicted to the internet? Could you go without the 'net for a couple of weeks and not miss it?
I did. I wished I had it when there was a time it would have been more convenient to use it, I suppose.
13. Did you play board games growing up? Which ones did you play if you did?
BattleTech is a tabletop game, does that count?

15. How many of your friends/family smoke? Do you smoke?
Eh, now that you can't smoke in bars, my group has pretty much all quit.
-
1. What is your current favorite outfit?
Flannel shirt + dark trousers in cold weather, t-shirt + light trousers or shorts in hot weather. Nothing special.
2. What are the five websites you spend the most time at, besides the DL? (Just a board/site name if you want to keep the URL private)
Uhhhhh. Team Liquid, Youtube I guess, from there it breaks down into things like "various webcomics," "various gaming sites," "various music sites" and such with no particular ones standing out.
3. What are you doing this summer? Is it any different then what you usually do?
GRE and looking at grad schools, trying to run some literary discussions, gaming stuff, DLcon. Not... too different I guess?
4. Would you favor a change to your national election system? (IE getting rid of the US electorial college for the US, changing the brit system, etc)
Yes. I like the electoral college system and think that getting rid of it in favor of straight proportional representation would be a mistake, but there does need to be some sort of major election reform, if not general government reform. In the modern era where it's becoming increasingly clear that media access and money can effectively buy votes, democracy as America has known it is fundamentally broken. Now I'm going to go back into the not talking about politics hole.
5. How important a factor is climate/the weather in where you live?
Not very.
6. What is the last book you read? What is the current book you're reading, if anything?
Reread Literary and Cultural Theory by Donald Hall last night. That's probably not the answer you're looking for, soooo... one of the sea of X-Wing books, too lazy to dig up which. Currently reading Cryptonomicon by Neil Stephenson.
7. Do you own a computer? If so, what brand/model is it? Do you like your computer?
Yes, a hybrid mutt I built and rebuilt multiple times. It performs adequately. I like it.
8. What is your favorite fighting game? Your favorite FPS game?
Smash series, MBAA or SWRSoku, for fighters. I dislike actually engaging in fighting game gameplay and like pretty shiny super moves and cool characters. FPS... tougher call. The conglomerate of Doom engine stuff is good, so is AvP2, Marathon 2 and Infinity, and the original Half-Life. Probably go with Half-Life for overall single favorite.
9. Do you gamble at all? If so, how much do you gamble?
No.
10. What is the best entertainment purchase you've made in the last year?
Silent Hill Shattered Memories, by virtue of being really good and one of the few entertainment purchases I make.
11. Do you play PC games much at all?
Lots.
12. Do you consider yourself addicted to the internet? Could you go without the 'net for a couple of weeks and not miss it?
Addicted, no. Could I go without it and not miss it, also no. Internet = friends, communication, information, entertainment, workstuffs.
13. Did you play board games growing up? Which ones did you play if you did?
Yes, lots. Most of the classics, Monopoly Scrabble Mouse Trap etc, some older things like By Jove that the parents had around... brothers and I made our own tabletop wargames too. One of us took the farm sets, another took the dinosaurs and a third took the astronauts and aliens.
14. Do you have a good relationship with your siblings? If you're a single child, would you want siblings?
We don't really talk to each other, seem to share many interests, or get along at all, but there's a deep unspoken bond and alliance to always help each other out when the chips are down.
15. How many of your friends/family smoke? Do you smoke?
Almost none, and no.
-
1. What is your current favorite outfit?
One of my nice heavy pairs of sweatpants, any color is fine, and the "pre-broken-in" olive green polo shirt that is every bit as awesome as advertised. I need more of those shirts. Nice texture and it actually remains my size after a few washes.
2. What are the five websites you spend the most time at, besides the DL? (Just a board/site name if you want to keep the URL private)
RPoL (Internet roleplaying site)
Soulriders (ditto, only more for IRC gaming then PBP gaming)
GameFAQs
Pandora(internet radio thingy)
Whooooole bunch of webcomics
3. What are you doing this summer? Is it any different then what you usually do?
Hosting DLcon. Trying to badger Tai into coming out for a longer period. Other then that just chilling. So not really, no.
4. Would you favor a change to your national election system? (IE getting rid of the US electorial college for the US, changing the brit system, etc)
Probably? I'd have to think about it more in depth, but I'm not really a fan of the electoral college.
5. How important a factor is climate/the weather in where you live?
Fairly. Both Jenna and I pretty much shut down when it gets over 80, so somewhere that's cool year round is best. Thankfully, that's how it is where we are, so.
6. What is the last book you read? What is the current book you're reading, if anything?
Um...I know I've read something more recently then Foundation by Mercedes Lackey, but hell if I can remember what. Not reading anything currently, though. Been kinda hesitant to pick anything up recently due to what happens when I do(responsibilities? breaks? meals? what are those~).
7. Do you own a computer? If so, what brand/model is it? Do you like your computer?
Some manner of Dell or another. Hell if I know the details. And it works with minimal complications, so yes.
8. What is your favorite fighting game? Your favorite FPS game?
FTG: Um...this is tough. Tentative nod to Soul Calibur 3, though if it is it's only by a small bit. Street Fighter 4(and the Super version), Melty Blood Act Cadenza and Scarlet Weather Rhapsody S are also all up there.
FPS: Equally tough for an entirely different reason. I don't play these. Probably Goldeneye for the N64, that was the last one I remember vaguely enjoying.
9. Do you gamble at all? If so, how much do you gamble?
Only in video games. Though I suppose I've been known to buy the occasional lottery ticket.
10. What is the best entertainment purchase you've made in the last year?
Laptop. Makes RPing easier(since we use spreadsheets for character sheets) and portable emulator stuff is fun. If you're asking about a game in particular, probably either Dragon Age or Mana Khemia 2. For all that I haven't finished either one of them.
11. Do you play PC games much at all?
A few, yeah. If you count emulators as PC games then the amount goes waaaaay up.
12. Do you consider yourself addicted to the internet? Could you go without the 'net for a couple of weeks and not miss it?
Only reliable social interaction I get with anyone besides Jenna, so yeah losing it would hurt. I could go without it for a couple weeks without too much issue though, so long as my computer still worked otherwise. A permanent loss would be a big problem, since that would be the same as losing friends.
13. Did you play board games growing up? Which ones did you play if you did?
Yup. Hero Quest and Tower of the Wizard King were my favorites. Key to the Kingdom was another good one. And of course the usual suspects(Monopoly, Scrabble, Connect 4, Batleship, etc).
14. Do you have a good relationship with your siblings? If you're a single child, would you want siblings?
My sister is roughly the only family member I don't have to remind myself that I'm supposed to care about, so yes.
15. How many of your friends/family smoke? Do you smoke?
Can't even be around smoke without problems. Even simple incense sets off my sinuses like nothing else. So no, I don't, and I don't spend any amount of time with anyone who does. I'm sure various family members do, but they aren't here so I don't overly care. For more local family, Jenna's mom and sister used to, but they quit a couple years ago.
-
1. What is your current favorite outfit?
There's this marvelous light-pink long-sleeved shirt with thin brown stripes and great fabric I just adore. Pair it with typical jeans and my burgundy shoes and it's just gorgeous.
2. What are the five websites you spend the most time at, besides the DL? (Just a board/site name if you want to keep the URL private)
http://tvtropes.org
www.google.com
Whatever else I end up at stems from those two sites besides the DL.
3. What are you doing this summer? Is it any different then what you usually do?
I have no idea, given how summer's about seven months away. >_>
4. Would you favor a change to your national election system? (IE getting rid of the US electorial college for the US, changing the brit system, etc)
The national election system we have is pretty solid. On the other hand, the -people- we elect...
5. How important a factor is climate/the weather in where you live?
Brazil lives and dies by it. Fascinatingly, it's getting weirder and more destructive by the day.
6. What is the last book you read? What is the current book you're reading, if anything?
Last book I read... man, I don't even remember. Currently reading "The Order of Things" by Michel Foucault, but very slowly.
7. Do you own a computer? If so, what brand/model is it? Do you like your computer?
An Intel Dual Core, too lazy to look up the specifics. Yeah, it's pretty good.
8. What is your favorite fighting game? Your favorite FPS game?
My favorite FG is quite possibly Darkstalkers 3, in terms of things it does well and integrates into a balanced, intuitive, intelligent fighting game. I like Immaterial and Missing Power a lot, too, but that's more out of the time I invested in it.
FPS... I just loathe the genre, no questions asked.
9. Do you gamble at all? If so, how much do you gamble?
Dear god no.
10. What is the best entertainment purchase you've made in the last year?
My DS, hands down.
11. Do you play PC games much at all?
I don't like most PC games as a rule of thumb. The genres friendly to the platform tend to not be friendly to my biases at all at best.
12. Do you consider yourself addicted to the internet? Could you go without the 'net for a couple of weeks and not miss it?
I have no idea. I use it for basically everything - work, entertainment - so, I don't think it's even feasible for me to not use the internet anymore.
13. Did you play board games growing up? Which ones did you play if you did?
Played a fair bit. Mostly Monopoly and a bunch of others that were kid-only and most of you would never know. Most of them I don't even remember either.
14. Do you have a good relationship with your siblings? If you're a single child, would you want siblings?
Yeah, I do. I do snark my sisters a lot, but I care about them.
15. How many of your friends/family smoke? Do you smoke?
I'm the only smoker in my immediate family. It's kinda funny.
-
1. Don't really have one. I guess I can say that I generally wear black long pants, but not out of preference, just sort of what I have.
2. Mostly just Gamefaqs and I guess Youtube. I don't really frequent much else.
3. Working, Summer Classes, Anime Next, and DL Con. nothing particularly out of the ordinary.
4. No Comment.
5. Considering I live in NJ, weather is ALL OVER THE PLACE, so...
6. I honestly don't remember; I don't read much so...
7. An HP computer that I sort of inheritted when my other one died; its still a dinosaur. I need a better one.
8. Fighting game...hmm...I'll go with SSF4 for now. FPS, that would be Golden Eye.
9. No, I do not, though partially cause I never had a good opportunity too.
10. Probably buying the game Bayonetta, cause I got a lot of time and fun out of that, and still am playing it.
11. No.
12. I guess I am kind of an addict, though I could probably go a few weeks without it; I did go 2 and a half months without TV when I was in like 5th grade, and I was really into gaming/TV then, os...
13. I played Chess, Life, Checkers, Monopoly, Monopoly Jr., Chutes and Ladders, Battleship...among many others.
14. I think most people know how well I get along with my youngest sister and my brother. My older Sister and I have a pretty positive relationship, and get along rather well. My other sister whose a year younger than me is pretty neutral; its not that we don't get along, its that its hard to start conversations up beyond a superficial level cause we have such different interests.
15. The closest relative who smokes as far as I know is one of my cousins.

4. Would you favor a change to your national election system? (IE getting rid of the US electorial college for the US, changing the brit system, etc)

5. How important a factor is climate/the weather in where you live?
I cannot stand constantly hot weather - i.e., Florida is out. I like hte Northeast, since I do get every season. Cooler is better.

I do not consider myself addicted - I could go without it, but I would miss it, and probably be unable to function as well at work (it's where I get all my news and medical resources from!). But I wouldn't need hospitalized for it <_<
13. Did you play board games growing up? Which ones did you play if you did?
Loads. Key to the Kingdom, Risk, Axis & Allies...the list really goeson forever.

1. What is your current favorite outfit?
Unzipped windbreaker+athletic shorts or t-shirt and pants
2. What are the five websites you spend the most time at, besides the DL? (Just a board/site name if you want to keep the URL private)
LIESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS TO ALL OF YOU (Well, most of you at least). The question did not say anything about excluding porn/sex related websites.
(Mine are Cracked, Gawker, Dlisted, Gamefaqs and TWoP. If using facebook chat via AIM counts I guess that would displace one).
3. What are you doing this summer? Is it any different then what you usually do?
Working/Games. No.
4. Would you favor a change to your national election system? (IE getting rid of the US electorial college for the US, changing the brit system, etc)
Eh, I care far more about abolishing the senate (Or we could just declare that Wyoming isn't really a state. Whichever) since it's numerically so misskewed.
5. How important a factor is climate/the weather in where you live?
It's generally a constant.
6. What is the last book you read? What is the current book you're reading, if anything?
Last...second to last book in the Deverry series. Currently reading book 4 in the Crown of Stars.
7. Do you own a computer? If so, what brand/model is it? Do you like your computer?
Toshiba Satellite something or other. It's okay.
8. What is your favorite fighting game? Your favorite FPS game?
None specifically, but I used to love fighting games. Tekken 3 and SFA 3 were my top two picks.
Hate FPSes.
9. Do you gamble at all? If so, how much do you gamble?
Let's see if any non-VSMers say yes to this.
10. What is the best entertainment purchase you've made in the last year?
360 or Soul Nomad
11. Do you play PC games much at all?
Never
12. Do you consider yourself addicted to the internet? Could you go without the 'net for a couple of weeks and not miss it?
Yes and no. Email alone necessitates webuse.
13. Did you play board games growing up? Which ones did you play if you did?
Penis Pirates. Seriously, are there any kids that didn't?
14. Do you have a good relationship with your siblings? If you're a single child, would you want siblings?
We aren't overly close, but decently close at least.
15. How many of your friends/family smoke? Do you smoke?
Some friends, some non-close family. No
-
1. Since I don't have to go out in public, I'd have to go with my black bathrobe, a pair of shorts, and my hippo slippers.
2. In no particular order, fanfiction.net, TV Tropes, GameFAQs, TrueAchievements, and x360a.org. And to Dhyer, that's what lots of hard drive space is for.
3. Theoretically, I should be looking for a job. A change over the past four years.
4. y hallo thar elected senators.
5. Outside is for losers and paperboys. It's too cold when it's cold, too hot when it's hot, and it's only in between about four months out of the year.
6. I Am America (And So Can You). I still have to reorg my book collection before I really get into any book reading besides the newspaper, but I'm going through the current (5th?) edition core sourcebook for Shadowrun before bed.
7. Let's see... I have a PowerMac G3 and two roughly 700 MHz PCs (not hooked up). The Mac serves its purpose, but I really have to get around to hooking up a PC for gaming.
8. Melee; Unreal Tournament with a probable change to TF2 if I ever get a PC up and running.
9. I play the lottery when the jackpots get into the high double digits (25 and up).
10. Based solely on hours of enjoyment/price paid? Duels of the Planeswalkers.
11. When I have a PC actually hooked up, yeah, though never nearly as much as consoles.
12. Unquestionably yes. So long as other non-internet things such as gaming or music existed, I could likely last a week or two before trying to get to Californee.
13. Not particularly, for a fair chunk of my childhood I didn't live particularly close to anyone close to my age. I tended to prefer trivia games such as Trivial Pursuit.
14. I hate them all. I had something else written here before, but I don't need any more incriminating evidence as it is.
15. Both my parents smoke, I do not.
-
1. What is your current favorite outfit?
I have a tight white button-down that really shows off my pecs. I normally wear it with a snazzy black sports coat and slacks. Gotta have the bulky silver chain necklace thing that I picked up in Japan to tie it all together in true J-fasion.
2. What are the five websites you spend the most time at, besides the DL? (Just a board/site name if you want to keep the URL private)
LovelyLesbians.com; UnusualSexualPositions.com; BiNowGayLater.com; DjinnIsAHornyPervert.org; AdorableKittens.edu
In that order.
3. What are you doing this summer? Is it any different then what you usually do?
Well, I'm in Japan, so it's already different from normal. But different from -that- is that I'm going to be visiting you freaks at DLCon5. Mostly I'm just looking forward to seeing a Wal-Mart again.
4. Would you favor a change to your national election system? (IE getting rid of the US electorial college for the US, changing the brit system, etc)
Having an opinion on this would give up my right to complain incessantly about the system without committing to a course of action.
5. How important a factor is climate/the weather in where you live?
Really damn important. Snow pretty much ruined my life all winter.
6. What is the last book you read? What is the current book you're reading, if anything?
Terry Pratchett, the Fifth Elephant. Discworld is amazing stuff.
7. Do you own a computer? If so, what brand/model is it? Do you like your computer?
I own a laptop, which does all the things I need it to, so I guess I like it. I'm seriously concerned about it breaking while I'm in Japan and have no real way to make sure I don't get ripped off trying to get it fixed...
8. What is your favorite fighting game? Your favorite FPS game?
Smash Bros, I guess. I love a lot of Fighting Games, but Smash is the only one I just never get tired of. FPS games can die in a fire and I couldn't be bothered to even piss on them to put them out.
9. Do you gamble at all? If so, how much do you gamble?
I don't gamble, I guess. I hadn't really thought about it, but I've just never been interested in gambling.
10. What is the best entertainment purchase you've made in the last year?
Probably Persona 4 or Mana Khemia. Really good experiences there. Alternately, my iPod mini is ridiculously good for working out.
11. Do you play PC games much at all?
I used to play more back when I cared about Adventure games. They've lost a lot of their appeal without my friends around who used to play them with me.
12. Do you consider yourself addicted to the internet? Could you go without the 'net for a couple of weeks and not miss it?
In America, I generally didn't feel like I needed the internet. In Japan, I need the internet to get my daily dose of American thought processes to avoid going insane.
13. Did you play board games growing up? Which ones did you play if you did?
I was always a big fan of Sorry! But Boardgames are no fun unless your little brother cries.
14. Do you have a good relationship with your siblings? If you're a single child, would you want siblings?
3 Siblings. 2 step and 1 half. Love'em all. Get along really well with my sister and step-brother. My half-bro is a nice guy, but we're so different that we really don't have much to do with eachother.
15. How many of your friends/family smoke? Do you smoke?
Most of my friends do not smoke. There's a rare one or two who do, but I find myself never wanting to spend much time with them. I've really hated cigarettes since I was a kid. Living in Japan, I've grown more tolerant of them, but if I've managed to avoid them for a while, then it always makes me cough and choke when someone suddenly lights up around me.

- Facebook, deviantArt, hotmail, questionablecontent, XKCD
3. What are you doing this summer? Is it any different then what you usually do?
- Working and going to a week-long camp. The working part will be quite different, as it will be at a real job instead of odd-jobs.
4. Would you favor a change to your national election system? (IE getting rid of the US electorial college for the US, changing the brit system, etc)
- Yes, not a huge fan of democracy in general, but it works well enough until something better can be thought of.
5. How important a factor is climate/the weather in where you live?
- None whatsoever. Rain is rain, sun is sun, clouds are clouds. What could they possibly change?
6. What is the last book you read? What is the current book you're reading, if anything?
- Current book is The Constitution Acts 1867 to 1982, last book is, uhh... Latest WoT one.

-It is an old one, that is all I know.
8. What is your favorite fighting game? Your favorite FPS game?
-Fighting? I'unno, probably Brawl. I'm not well-versed in them, so... FPS is... also a mystery.
9. Do you gamble at all? If so, how much do you gamble?
- I gamble insomuch as there's no money involved. No real money, anyway. But I do have a cards addiction.
10. What is the best entertainment purchase you've made in the last year?
- The only one I've made? Megaman: Star Force 3: Black Ace
11. Do you play PC games much at all?
- Nope, don't have a PC capable of it
12. Do you consider yourself addicted to the internet? Could you go without the 'net
for a couple of weeks and not miss it?
- I probably could, yeah. If I had nothing else to do, it'd be pretty boring, but I'm definitely not addicted. (Have gone over a week without it before; didn't miss it at all)
13. Did you play board games growing up? Which ones did you play if you did?
- Oh, I played whatever I could get my hands on. Even Monopoly!
14. Do you have a good relationship with your siblings? If you're a single child, would you want siblings?
- I have a... decent enough relationship? I dunno. Hard to really judge these things, I find. I mean, we don't bicker (too much), for whatever that's worth.
15. How many of your friends/family smoke? Do you smoke?
-Not too many, and no, I would never, ever smoke. Bad mojo.
-
1. What is your current favorite outfit?
Typically Black Jeans, sweater (doesn't matter what colour), and my white windbreaker. I don't mind wearing red dress shirt/black dress pants/blazer/Silver tie, but I have to wear it during work, so not something I go to for casual wear.
2. What are the five websites you spend the most time at, besides the DL? (Just a board/site name if you want to keep the URL private)
hm...
a) GFAQs - yeah I make fun of the posters, but there's plenty of good info to read up on here and there
b) Youtube - See above. Replace info with video variety
c) Wikipedia - random info feeding
d) Dctp - Where I go for DC updates + DC fan stuff pretty much
e) Facebook - Just typically read the News feed to see what people are up to. Not much other than that. Used to play Bejeweled a ton though.
3. What are you doing this summer? Is it any different then what you usually do?
Not...terribly different. More empty spaces, but still studying and preparing to write unified exams to get my accounting licenses and all that good jazz.
4. Would you favor a change to your national election system? (IE getting rid of the US electorial college for the US, changing the brit system, etc)
? I would answer, but this is totally lost on me.
5. How important a factor is climate/the weather in where you live?
Pretty important. I can't imagie a palce where client isn't an important factor since it just controls so much (from what you where to traffic)
6. What is the last book you read? What is the current book you're reading, if anything?
Hm. The last storybook I read was Animal Farm. I've been meaning to get startd on Catch 22, but I've been putting it off forever. Otherwise, uh Accounting textbooks.
7. Do you own a computer? If so, what brand/model is it? Do you like your computer?
Yes, and its a Dell. You tell me whether or not I should like it.
8. What is your favorite fighting game? Your favorite FPS game?
I love watching Japanese 3rd Strike. I can spend HOURS doing it and have debated spending money geting DVDs for it >_>. As for actually playing, eh...the one I've probably spent the most time on is Melty Blood (like actually learning stuff). So that I guess. As for FPS, I grew up wtih Goldeneye, so its probably my "favourite" for all that, I didn't like it that much either. I did play CS at a time when all my other friends were playing it just for shits and giggles though.
9. Do you gamble at all? If so, how much do you gamble?
No. If I do, it will be puny amounts like one or two dollar buy ins.
10. What is the best entertainment purchase you've made in the last year?
Mana Khemia 2? I think its the most enjoyable anyway. 2009 was a pretty crappy year all around >.>
11. Do you play PC games much at all?
No. I would if I was more computer literate and kept my computer up to speed to play PC games. I don't count netplay MB here, though if you do, just replace that as the answer.
12. Do you consider yourself addicted to the internet? Could you go without the 'net for a couple of weeks and not miss it?
I can probably go for like a week without the net. Not sure if I would hold out much longer than that though - you tend to miss out a lot even if its just a couple of days of not checking mail.
13. Did you play board games growing up? Which ones did you play if you did?
Yes. What everyone else said. Classic ones like Clue and Monopoly. Also played Life a lot.
14. Do you have a good relationship with your siblings? If you're a single child, would you want siblings?
I think so. My sister and I avoid stepping on each other's toes now that we've grown out of our adolescence phase.
15. How many of your friends/family smoke? Do you smoke?
Zero. My dad used to be a smoker, but he quit because of us. I can't stand smoking, so no, I don't >_>. I'm very strongly against smoking in general since it caused my grandfather from my mom's side to pass away sooner than he should've.
-
1. What is your current favorite outfit?
Blue jeans, black walking shoes and a Chinese jacket, black with blue dragon pattern on the back. Black fedora optional.
2. What are the five websites you spend the most time at, besides the DL?
rpg.net (by a large margin), last.fm, mspaintadventures.com, enworld.org and facebook.com.
3. What are you doing this summer? Is it any different then what you usually do?
Writing novels and short fiction, or getting desperate enough for cash to try rpg writing again. Same as usual.
4. Would you favor a change to your national election system? (IE getting rid of the US electorial college for the US, changing the brit system, etc)
In the British system, I'd favor a monarch who actually acted as an executive and the restoration of a non-partisan House of Lords. The US system appears to me beyond repair.
5. How important a factor is climate/the weather in where you live?
Not important, or else I wouldn't be living in Denver, where it's not unusual to have temperature swings of 50 degrees Fahrenheit over the course of a week.
6. What is the last book you read? What is the current book you're reading, if anything?
I just finished The Walls of the Universe by Paul Melko. Extremely well-written classically styled Sci-Fi. Currently slogging through The Prince of Shadow by Curt Benjamin, but even two thirds of the way through it's paint-by-numbers fat fantasy with vague oriental stylings that it fails to follow up on. May not finish.
7. Do you own a computer? If so, what brand/model is it? Do you like your computer?
No, I post from a library computer and write books by hand. -_-' Seriously, though: WinBook G-3300 Celeron-M 1.5gh, Win XP. It suffices.
8. What is your favorite fighting game? Your favorite FPS game?
Soul Calibur or Super Smash Bros Brawl. Half-Life.
9. Do you gamble at all? If so, how much do you gamble?
That would assume I had actual money with which to gamble. Seriously, did you SEE that computer's specs?
10. What is the best entertainment purchase you've made in the last year?
Easily Wild ARMs 5. Got it used for $15 and it's my top PS2 game.
11. Do you play PC games much at all?
Not a whole lot, and very few of recent vintage. I almost exclusively play turn-based or functionally-turn-based strategy games.
12. Do you consider yourself addicted to the internet? Could you go without the 'net for a couple of weeks and not miss it?
Yes and yes.
13. Did you play board games growing up? Which ones did you play if you did?
What's this "growing up" shit? I still play board games. Growing up, it was monstly Hero Quest (the Milton Bradley version, not the proto-narrativist RPG), Risk, Clue, Trivial Pursuit, Dinosaurs of the Lost World and home-made games. Now I'm more likely to kick back with a relaxing game of Arkham Horror or Twilight Imperium.
14. Do you have a good relationship with your siblings? If you're a single child, would you want siblings?
Only child, would have liked to have siblings.
15. How many of your friends/family smoke? Do you smoke?
Two friends (both cigar smokers), one family member I know of (aunt), and my mother used to smoke. I've never had any particular desire to try it; I'm plenty unhealthy and poor enough as it is.
-
1. What is your current favorite outfit?
I uh... don't... have one really? I don't care enough about what I'm wearing to call anything favorite. It just needs to be (mostly) clean and comfortable.
2. What are the five websites you spend the most time at, besides the DL? (Just a board/site name if you want to keep the URL private)
Hm... come to think of it, I think there's just my usual entertainment circle. So, in order of update frequency
Cracked
Penny Arcade
Dr. McNinja
Darths and Droids
xkcd
3. What are you doing this summer? Is it any different then what you usually do?
*shrug* Work. Sleep. DLCon.
4. Would you favor a change to your national election system?
The electoral college can probably stay. Everything else needs to go. IN particular.
- Dissolve the Republican Party. Dissolve the Democratic Party. If we MUST have political parties (and, alas, people would just form new ones left to their own devices), there shall be at least three. Something along the lines of Conservative, Liberal-Democrat, Progressive. There's to key points here. The first is that a two party, A or B, black or white, yes or no system is exacerbating an increasingly retarded political divide in the country. There's enough going wrong in around here without making intelligent, reasoned political discourse increasingly impossible. Second, due to there being only two parties with any measure of success, there is no incentive towards compromise and leadership in the government. If your party isn't in power, just bitch and moan and stir shit and sit on your ass and do everything in your power to halt any real governing, and bam, the other guys take all the blame for doing nothing and you're back in power.
- Ban political ads. All of these words are critical. All forms of paid advertisement for particular political candidates need to go. Now. Not banned would be any direct interviews of candidates (since of course, this is a chance for a guided discussion of your views. We want your views. We don't want a saturation of goddamned mudslinging), breakdowns of various policies by multiple candidates, televised debates, that sort of thing. In other words, political candidates should no longer be deciding the facts. The facts will be ferreted out by those who do so professionally.
- While I like the idea of the Senate (having a place where states besides California and Texas matter), as long as they have the filibuster, they can go. Given my current mood, I'm not sure which deserves more fire.
And now, some bitter ranting suggestions. I'm not sure how much I mean these, so they will be in small text. I will not be responding to any comments on these two, should that happen.
-Kick Texas out of the union. Your board of education? Fuck it and fuck all of you who created it. Die in a fucking fire.
- Relatedly, when we dissolve the two parties, the general idea would be turning the sane Republicans and the blue dogs into the new conservative party. The insane republicans have a choice. They can be exiled to North Mexico (fka Texas) and merrily have their little theocracy, or they can be exiled to North Korea, and see an actual psychotic tyrant in action. Either way really.
5. How important a factor is climate/the weather in where you live?
Hate winter so much. Need to move. Hate life. (/emo)
6. What is the last book you read? What is the current book you're reading, if anything?
Gosh. I'm not sure what the last new book I finished was. I know I reread I, Jedi a few times just for kicks, but that's not the same. I've been plugging through the Silmarillion lately. 'salright.
7. Do you own a computer? If so, what brand/model is it? Do you like your computer?
Picked up a Compaq Presario at the start of this year. Best computer I've ever had!
8. What is your favorite fighting game? Your favorite FPS game?
Smash. Probably Brawl>Melee? I liked Young Link, so Toon Link is like that but funner, which is good.
n/a. The only FPS I've played to completion (or even in any significant way) is Dark Forces. Which involved infinite cheating. And I wouldn't really call it a good enough game to 'favorite', though I'm sure it wins by default.
9. Do you gamble at all? If so, how much do you gamble?
I spend about $4-6 a week on Mega Millions/Power Ball. It's something to do.
10. What is the best entertainment purchase you've made in the last year?
Hm. Past 12 months... gives us Heart Gold, Buffy 1-3, and 360 (ToV, KotOR) for significant stuff. I think ToV wins there, I wanted to play that for AGES and it didn't disappoint.
11. Do you play PC games much at all?
Nope.
12. Do you consider yourself addicted to the internet? Could you go without the 'net for a couple of weeks and not miss it?
I would not, if only because frankly the term 'addict' is overused for psychological applications. That and my own webbrowsing lacks some of the markers for true addiction as I understand them, despite fairly obviously spending "too much" time on the computer. That said, not being online for more than a week would be troublesome, it'd feel distressingly like being locked up in a remote cabin for the same amount of time. Cut off from the world.
13. Did you play board games growing up? Which ones did you play if you did?
A little of most of the classics. But mostly Risk.
14. Do you have a good relationship with your siblings? If you're a single child, would you want siblings?
Well. The middle sister, how do you define good there? I mostly try to ignore her these days, I'm completely burned out on trying to be an authority figure there.
Younger sister, we get along quite well these days I suppose. Probably the only person I talk to openly these days, as opposed to continual filtering of thoughts and biting of tongue.
15. How many of your friends/family smoke? Do you smoke?
none of my friends smoked. All my coworkers do of course. Most of my family has, at one point or another, smoked, but my dad quite about ten years back, my sister a couple years ago (presumably for the obvious reason), so nowadays it's just my mom smokes. I never picked it up, although what with the bar I may as well have been I suppose?
-
1. What is your current favorite outfit?
I don't really have favourite clothing, let alone view clothes in terms of 'outfits'. I guess I'll go with my good work pants and my good burgundy shirt.
2. What are the five websites you spend the most time at, besides the DL? (Just a board/site name if you want to keep the URL private)
Hard to say. Most of the rest of the sites I go to are updated on a schedule and I'm not part of the community.
3. What are you doing this summer? Is it any different then what you usually do?
Presuming that north american summer ie: winter is meant, working. No different than usual.
4. Would you favor a change to your national election system? (IE getting rid of the US electorial college for the US, changing the brit system, etc)
I have no problems with our current system coming to mind.
5. How important a factor is climate/the weather in where you live?
I wouldn't like to live anywhere that's overly hot, but it really isn't the major factor in this sort of thing.
6. What is the last book you read? What is the current book you're reading, if anything?
Seeress of Kell, Eddings. In theory I'm currently reading The Diamond Throne, Eddings, but I haven't started it yet.
7. Do you own a computer? If so, what brand/model is it? Do you like your computer?
Scorpion Technology brand, Core i7 860 w/Windows 7. It's certainly better than my previous computer which was a present from a person that was tricked into thinking that a business computer was feasible as a gaming computer (including Vista running on 512 MB of memory YESZ). That said the DVD drive was failing at life and I ended up replacing it with a BD drive at my own expense so it hasn't been problem-free either.
8. What is your favorite fighting game? Your favorite FPS game?
As a whole, I'm not a big fan of fighting games. I'll go with Super Smash Brothers Brawl, although I haven't played it anywhere near as much as I played Melee, I am going to assume that is related to the fact that I haven't used the Wii anywhere near as much as I used the 'cube.
For FPSes, I'll probably go with one of the Metroid Primes. Not sure which I consider the best offhand.
9. Do you gamble at all? If so, how much do you gamble?
Not really, no.
10. What is the best entertainment purchase you've made in the last year?
I was going to say the PS2 I picked up but looking into the history of things I find that I got that more than a year ago, and in that time I've only played 4.5 games on it. Well. In that case I'll go with my computer, which I watch most of my shows I watch on at least.
11. Do you play PC games much at all?
Not all that much, no.
12. Do you consider yourself addicted to the internet? Could you go without the 'net for a couple of weeks and not miss it?
I couldn't go wthout the net for a couple of weeks without missing it, but I don't really do all that much on it these days. I guess that would peg me as addicted then.
13. Did you play board games growing up? Which ones did you play if you did?
On occasion, yes. Some examples would be Snakes and Ladders, Monopoly, and the Mad Magazine board game. I'm not about to try to dredge up all of them.
14. Do you have a good relationship with your siblings? If you're a single child, would you want siblings?
I guess I have a reasonably good relationship with him. We don't do a whole lot together aside from watching various internet-based shows though.
15. How many of your friends/family smoke? Do you smoke?
There's no smoking here, but all of my aunts and uncles smoke.
-
1. What is your current favorite outfit?
What ever is lying around and clean. Also naked~
2. What are the five websites you spend the most time at, besides the DL? (Just a board/site name if you want to keep the URL private)
Work related, Board 8 (gamefaqs), SA's Let's Play, tvtropes, that touhou image dump board.
3. What are you doing this summer? Is it any different then what you usually do?
Same old same old, except more trips to the park with dog.
4. Would you favor a change to your national election system? (IE getting rid of the US electorial college for the US, changing the brit system, etc)
I don't follow politics much, but I'm up for any system that keeps dumbasses out of office.
5. How important a factor is climate/the weather in where you live?
Random snow blizzards that forecasters impropery predicted screws around my schedule at lot. Fuck news stations that lie about weather so people rush to the nearest grocery store and buy all the milk.
6. What is the last book you read? What is the current book you're reading, if anything?
Books?
7. Do you own a computer? If so, what brand/model is it? Do you like your computer?
Custom built, enough to run L4D and TF2
8. What is your favorite fighting game? Your favorite FPS game?
Melee and Brawl are the ones I'm consistently good at so I'll go with those. TF2 for FPS
9. Do you gamble at all? If so, how much do you gamble?
Texas hold-em randomly on weekends. Usually spend about 50 bucks. My one trip to Las Vegas I won over 1k. And promptly spend it on video games and expensive food.
10. What is the best entertainment purchase you've made in the last year?
Orange Box for less than a Happy Meal.
11. Do you play PC games much at all?
Pretty much killing Laggy and watching Aiel get lost in the wideopen.
12. Do you consider yourself addicted to the internet? Could you go without the 'net for a couple of weeks and not miss it?
Considers in what sense. I use the internet for work and pay pretty much all my bills there so I would need to change that before I disconnect. I used to be a net junkie before I had a car because I couldn't go anywhere and couldn't live without it. Now, I could probably go a week or so without the entertainment aspect of it.
13. Did you play board games growing up? Which ones did you play if you did?
I'd play stuff when the power goes out. Mouse Trap, Sorry, Monopoly. Now we have those fancy dancy DSes around.
14. Do you have a good relationship with your siblings? If you're a single child, would you want siblings?
I'm going to say this without being graphic, I don't like my brother and sisters. 14 year gap means I was never close with my brother. I would prefer never to see my sisters again. I am envious of single children.
15. How many of your friends/family smoke? Do you smoke?
I loathe smoking. I would punch Snow if he smoked in front of me. I will not go out with anyone who does.

3. What are you doing this summer? Is it any different then what you usually do?
Not sure exactly what work I'll be doing over the summer. Tutoring of some form no doubt. This is pretty much normal.
4. Would you favor a change to your national election system? (IE getting rid of the US electorial college for the US, changing the brit system, etc)
Hmm, no major changes I could think of at the moment. I guess I'd change riding sizes to be a little closer to population representation than they already are, which mostly means screwing over the smallest province(s) and I'm fine with that. The US has this problem far worse than we do though (lol Wyoming vote carries 3 times as much weight for president as California vote).
5. How important a factor is climate/the weather in where you live?
Weather here is rarely extreme in any way, so I guess it's not too important overall besides the usual "you can do more outside on nice days". Also skiing requires snow.
6. What is the last book you read? What is the current book you're reading, if anything?
I'm blanking if the most recent thing I read was The Gathering Storm or the third Mistborn book, weirdly. One of those. Not reading anything at the moment unless Phoenix Wright counts.
7. Do you own a computer? If so, what brand/model is it? Do you like your computer?
Yes, 2.13 GHz Macbook. It rules. Getting a laptop was the best computing decision I have ever made, I can never see myself going back.
8. What is your favorite fighting game? Your favorite FPS game?
Soul Calibur... 3? And Goldeneye.
9. Do you gamble at all? If so, how much do you gamble?
No. The mathematical side of me won't allow it.
10. What is the best entertainment purchase you've made in the last year?
Metroid Fu- no, I borrowed that. Mega Man X8- no, that too. Ace Attorney Inves- damnit!
You see how I roll, I am a heartless game leech. Uh, I think Mega Man Powered Up was within 12 months ago, so I'll go with that.
11. Do you play PC games much at all?
Not in years.
12. Do you consider yourself addicted to the internet? Could you go without the 'net for a couple of weeks and not miss it?
I'd miss it, but I'd live. Pretty much what happens when I go travelling after all.
13. Did you play board games growing up? Which ones did you play if you did?
Sure did... Clue, Monopoly, Risk, Talisman were probably the biggest ones.
14. Do you have a good relationship with your siblings? If you're a single child, would you want siblings?
My brother is cool and we get along really well even though we have almost no overlapping interests (just hockey pretty much).
15. How many of your friends/family smoke? Do you smoke?
A bunch of my family used to but they generally all quit during the 90's. I know one or two people who smoke (a couple co-workers mainly) and they tend to apologise for it at every turn. It's pretty uncommon here.

Some sequel book to V. I wish it hadn't, it was one of the worst written books I've ever read.

Dell..something or other. Quadcore. It works well.

Daily mtg

Recovering and moving to Atlanta. Yes, very different I can't say I've ever done this before.
4. Would you favor a change to your national election system? (IE getting rid of the US electorial college for the US, changing the brit system, etc)
Canada's pretty solid, I feel. I want to get rid of the Bloc Quebequois, but that's not a structural change.
5. How important a factor is climate/the weather in where you live?
Fairly important; I didn't enjoy living in Montreal at all, and San Francisco has been mostly pretty awesome.
6. What is the last book you read? What is the current book you're reading, if anything?
Last: Breaking Dawn
Current: Interview with the Vampire
7. Do you own a computer? If so, what brand/model is it? Do you like your computer?
Yes. Dell. Crappy--can't run TF2 ;_; (but runs Touhou okay). I really should upgrade but I've had other things on my mind.
8. What is your favorite fighting game? Your favorite FPS game?
Fighting umm...I'm going to go with B+ (the SSBB mod). I'm obviously going to name a smash game (I like VF4:E a lot, but even at the height of my obsession with it, I was still very into Melee). So...a breakdown of smash games.... It's very fun to watch top-level SSBM, but there's too many glitches and exploits that make me feel I could never play like that. SSBB I don't feel the barrier to entry for playing, but would I watch a tournament match on youtube? They were interesting early on when people hadn't figured out optimal strategies, but these days, no. B+ arguably has less of a glitch/exploit barrier to entry than Brawl (since they fixed some exploits like chain grabs) and still has interesting high-level play. Oh, and a decently balanced cast. And some added style like Wario's grab beats knocking out coins. Yeah, feels like the clear winner.
FPS: TF2. No thought necessary here >_>
9. Do you gamble at all? If so, how much do you gamble?
No, basically never. I didn't even use the penny slot machines when I was at Vegas. The only time I've gambled was with coworkers, and I justified it to myself as "I'm paying 20 dollars for socialization and entertainment".
10. What is the best entertainment purchase you've made in the last year?
Uhh......probably one of Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume. Or maybe Half-Minute Hero.
11. Do you play PC games much at all?
Yes.
12. Do you consider yourself addicted to the internet? Could you go without the 'net for a couple of weeks and not miss it?
Yes. No.
13. Did you play board games growing up? Which ones did you play if you did?
Yes. Sorry was our favourite when young. And well...I liked Dizzy Dizzy Dinosaur but my family was less enthusiastic >_>. Monopoly was a family activity when older, as was Taboo. Although these days if we play a board game as a family it's always Clue. Risk I played with Excal and some of his friends.
14. Do you have a good relationship with your siblings? If you're a single child, would you want siblings?
Yes. Excellent relationship.
15. How many of your friends/family smoke? Do you smoke?
No family. Some friends (off the top of my head, Jenn, Heidi, Tams, Ruj, Nish...). Honestly, I'm just going to estimate a percentage, so...15%? Higher among coworkers and lesbians (i.e. the people I have extra incentive to be around--I really hate cigarette smoke).

My Aya cosplay. So much fun to be had at conventions when running around in it.
2. What are the five websites you spend the most time at, besides the DL? (Just a board/site name if you want to keep the URL private)

4. Would you favor a change to your national election system? (IE getting rid of the US electorial college for the US, changing the brit system, etc)
I'd change things so that more people actually went out and voted, both in major and minor elections. Admittedly not a system change, but.

A fair bit. I'm good with cold but don't like heat very much.

Volume 3 of the Inukami! manga. Currently working through the first Haruhi novel off and on.

Super Smash Bros. Melee and Perfect Dark. Don't get me started on Perfect Dark. <3

Pop'n Music GBA. I say this despite not actually having played it yet. Of things I have played, probably Mega Man 10.

Single child, and, at this point in my life, I don't think so.
15. How many of your friends/family smoke? Do you smoke?
Several of my family members used to smoke, but as far as I know they've all managed to quit. I do not smoke myself, I can't monetarily afford to sustain a nicotine addiction. (Same reason I don't drink.)

13. Did you play board games growing up? Which ones did you play if you did?
What's this "growing up" shit? I still play board games.
Judging by DLcon, most of us do as well. (When there's people around to play with, anyhow). Actually, I'm surprised I haven't seen Carcassonne or Settlers of Catan at DLcon yet.
-
Never heard of Carcassonne. I think there was some Settlers of Catan at DLC2, but only after most people had left. I'm not sure any of the other hosts have had Catan to play.
-
Oh, right. Carcasonne and Settlers of Catan~
Yeah, some of the latter occured as DLC2 wrapped up.

MOTHERFUCKING SHEEP

1. What is your current favorite outfit?

Something Awful, Facebook, Netflix, Anime Season and NBA.com in about that order.
3. What are you doing this summer? Is it any different then what you usually do?
I have NO IDEA. I'm seriously nervous about this. I'm thinking of volunteering somewhere, because I don't want a job, but I do want to get out of the house and perhaps meet people.
4. Would you favor a change to your national election system? (IE getting rid of the US electorial college for the US, changing the brit system, etc)
I would be in favor of CHANGING the electoral college to more accurately represent population demographics. Instead of a state-by-state basis, just divvy up whole portions of the country. I understand that the probability of something that makes this kind of sense actually happening is about ZERO.
5. How important a factor is climate/the weather in where you live?
Nil.
6. What is the last book you read? What is the current book you're reading, if anything?

7. Do you own a computer? If so, what brand/model is it? Do you like your computer?
Yes. I built my own computer (with much appreciated help from my Brother-in-Law, who did the parts research for me), so it's a hodgepodge of different companies. I like it very much.

Marvel vs Capcom 1. Team Fortress 2.
9. Do you gamble at all? If so, how much do you gamble?

10. What is the best entertainment purchase you've made in the last year?
"Simple Things" by Zero 7. This is a music CD.
11. Do you play PC games much at all?
Yes. More than any system. Although, I don't keep really up to date with cutting edge games. I play a lot of Team Fortress 2 and Dominions 3.
12. Do you consider yourself addicted to the internet? Could you go without the 'net for a couple of weeks and not miss it?
Yes. I am addicted.
I could go for a couple of weeks without missing the Internet, but it would have to be some CRAZY AWESOME circumstances, like touring the country and actually having fun doing it.
Or, you know, being locked in a room with a woman who loves me that looked like Yvonne Strahovski.
13. Did you play board games growing up? Which ones did you play if you did?
I still do play 'em. Growing up I liked games like Trivial Pursuit, Mindtrap, Outburst and the like. Trivia and knowledge and lateral thinking games. I still like those kinds of games, but I also like playing more strategic games now, like Monopoly, Last Night on Earth, and the like.
14. Do you have a good relationship with your siblings? If you're a single child, would you want siblings?
Yes, I get along well with my sister.
15. How many of your friends/family smoke? Do you smoke?
I do not smoke. A couple of my friends smoke. Many members of my family used to smoke and have since quit.
-
1. What is your current favorite outfit?
Well, I tend to go smart-casual, so it'd probably just be something like jeans and a nice shirt. That said, my favourite shirts don't suit that - got an awesome red one with an American eagle on it (for some reason) and another one that's blue with wolves, and I love those. <3
2. What are the five websites you spend the most time at, besides the DL? (Just a board/site name if you want to keep the URL private)
1. TTA, online version of Triple Triad, (http://www.ttadvance.ca/) is definitely top. Past that... probably Facebook, devianTart, Twitter and e-mail or something like that.
3. What are you doing this summer? Is it any different then what you usually do?
If I win at VGC, going to Hawaii. If I get money, going to DLCon. Otherwise, nothing special, just meeting with friends randomly, which is what I normally do.
4. Would you favor a change to your national election system? (IE getting rid of the US electorial college for the
US, changing the brit system, etc)
Yeah, although probably nothing -too- major, outside of proportional representation.
5. How important a factor is climate/the weather in where you live?
Ehh. I'm not good with the cold, but I'm kinda used to that here. Couldn't handle it being -too- low, though. (hi Tonfa!)

12. Do you consider yourself addicted to the internet? Could you go without the 'net for a couple of weeks and not miss it?
Definitely addicted. I'm almost always online, even if it's only to talk to people. Even the last few weeks, where I've been avoiding 99% of people, I've been talking in some chat channels, on MSN and I've been checking and updating Facebook. I'd probably not cope with more than a day or two offline.
13. Did you play board games growing up? Which ones did you play if you did?
Uhh, probably, but like hell if I can remember which.
14. Do you have a good relationship with your siblings? If you're a single child, would you want siblings?
Me and my sister get on so well that people tend to assume we're not related ("but siblings never get on that well!") I pretty much never talk to my brothers, although that's not really a problem.
15. How many of your friends/family smoke? Do you smoke?
Thankfully, none of my close family and very, very few of my friends smoke. I'm personally completely against it, which is why I say 'thankfully'.

I go to work, so I wear long pants and a short sleeved business shirt all the time. So much that it is a habit even when I am on holiday, I replace the pants with shorts when I get home because they are comfy and easy to wear.
2. What are the five websites you spend the most time at, besides the DL? (Just a board/site name if you want to keep the URL private)
Now that I quit WoW? Webcomics, Exiled Online, some other random stuff for movie reviews.
3. What are you doing this summer? Is it any different then what you usually do?
Working because my work does not stop. Over your stupid Northern hemisphere time I will be visiting you retards. Maybe throw some things at elves, laugh at some Ciatos and drown some Meeples.
4. Would you favor a change to your national election system? (IE getting rid of the US electorial college for the US, changing the brit system, etc)
Remove all of the candidates and ask everyone if they want to get into politics. We will shoot anyone who says yes. Then if we still have any business men we will shoot them. Then we can decide if we want a socialist democracy or a try at having a communist utopia.
5. How important a factor is climate/the weather in where you live?
Weather is important, but I still live here even though the summers are dreadful. I would like to try snow one day, but meh. Cooler is better.
6. What is the last book you read? What is the current book you're reading, if anything?
Something Vonnegut and something else by Vonnegut.
7. Do you own a computer? If so, what brand/model is it? Do you like your computer?
Yes of course. Brand is quite a quaint thing to ask. Of course I love my computer even when it isn't working. It might fight with me, but I will always love it. I7 860 2.8Ghz 8 GB of G-Skill Ripjaws 1333 Asus P55D Pro with an HSI 5870, onboard sound which I plan to replace with X-Fi Titanium I have lying around when I next open my case.
8. What is your favorite fighting game? Your favorite FPS game?
Soul Calibur 1 I guess, it is pretty close between that and 2. 3 was good but lacked the same charm and 4 was zzzzzzzzzzzzz. Deus Ex at the moment tops FPS, but there is so much good in the genre that shines out over the pile of bad. Serious Sam and Doom both stand out as amazing and Quake 3/Quake Live is still the pinnacle of what it is. Left 4 Dead and TF2 are just plain fun times.
9. Do you gamble at all? If so, how much do you gamble?
No.
10. What is the best entertainment purchase you've made in the last year?
CD Player by far, the sound quality from it with the stereo I bought last year is awesome. Definitely not my PC because that fucker cost me a mint to get on its feet.
11. Do you play PC games much at all?
Yes, I do like to play the big kids games for real adults.
12. Do you consider yourself addicted to the internet? Could you go without the 'net for a couple of weeks and not miss it?
Not addicted, but I get frustrated when I don't have access to information, so absolutely. I bought a new phone so I could have access while catching the bus just because I HATE not being able to look up who was in that movie or what that song was.
13. Did you play board games growing up? Which ones did you play if you did?
Yes, I played stuff. Game of Life, Stock Market Game, Careers, Monopoly. You know, all the games you would expect someone who hates capitalism to have played.
14. Do you have a good relationship with your siblings? If you're a single child, would you want siblings?
I moved out of home with my little brother at the age of like 25 to move in with my older brother, I go bowling with my sister once a week and usually see her on the weekend. So yes, we have issues and frustrate the fuck out of each other but we like each other enough to not kill each other.
15. How many of your friends/family smoke? Do you smoke?
No, a few in my extended family smoke. Some friends do, but that isn't a big deal, they are my friends and that doesn't really enter the equation.
