Wow the 3 Questions Thread has reached a new high!
I agree completely with questions 2 and 3. I think question 1 needs some thinking though. It isn't profound enough. --- I think I will leave these interesting questions to the next person. They are too good to discard them just yet. |

I was being serious, actually. But if someone would like to continue with the standard word-based stuff, go ahead. Someone can go back and do my questions later.

(I'm on it. Need recording equipment, though, so I won't do it until tomorrow, which means someone will probably beat me to it.)

2. This was on one of the classical music tapes we listened to in Montessori school circa 1991. Several months later, my family moved away and I had my first experiences with bullying, though I didn't recognise them as such at the time. I'm not sure whether or not I still would have been bullied if we'd stayed where we were. I was a very eccentric kid, but alternative educational institutions tend to be better at catering to that sort of thing. It probably would have delayed the bullying rather than stopped it outright. 3. I played that bass line in 2002, the same year I first fell in love and finally released my first game, which I'd been working on since 1999. My family, fortunately, didn't move away that year, though my parents did start taking summer vacations to exotic locales and leaving me at home with my siblings -- the thrill of having no parents in the house more than counterbalanced the disappointment of not being allowed to come to said locales. (Trumgottist or anyone else, do feel free to answer Mory's questions musically later on if you wish. I'm intrigued by the potential results.) *** 1. Why do you think I am the only female game developer at the company where I work? (i.e. do you think my theory about lost friendships in adolescence holds credence?) 2. Is there any genre of game other than adventure/IF that a) has a compelling story and b) does not feature violence as a primary gameplay mechanic? 3. Are a person's musical preferences/abilities mostly inborn, or mostly acquired?

Well, I interpreted your musical clips as prompts. I could have just as easily written similar answers had I been presented with pictures.

Each bit of music was half a statement, where it seems like it needs another little bit to resolve it. So they were basically straight questions, meant to be answered as they were asked. But I didn't really expect to have to explain it, I just thought the next person would pull out a microphone and answer them. My mistake, sorry.

On the other hand, non-obvious interpretations can be good, too. Your questions are another example of that.

1. Because you're wearing a blindfold.
2. It depends on whether your arms are tied up behind your back or not. 3. Well, it wasn't me who did it, if that's what you mean. *** 1. What do I have in my pocket? 2. Why are unicorns hollow? 3. Are my experiences still legitimate if you haven't had similar experiences yourself?

1. No, but I think I've heard it before.
2. Yes. More in some areas than others, and there's still room for improvement (isn't there always?). 3. None. Ok, those were boring answers (and I don't have any questions at the moment), so I'm leaving the questions for someone else.

1. Nope. Never heard that before.
2. Definitely. It was probably around three years ago that I began becoming more individual and a tiny bit more open and expressive (still working on that last one). 3. I've always wanted to break into somewhere like Buckingham Palace - not even to nick stuff, just because it would be the best game of hide-and-seek ever. ___ 1. As a shy person, would involving myself in a student radio station be a good way of breaking out of my shell or an accident waiting to happen? 2. How tolerant generally are people of someone (i.e. me) who doesn't drink alcohol? 3. Any general hints relating to anything to share with the rest of the class?

2. Usually very tolerant in my experience. (I don't drink either.) It was different in my teens, but I can't recall any situation as an adult where my non-drinking has been met with anything but acceptance. 3. Use… the claw-thingy… -- 1. What kind of music is most likely to get you to dance? 2. What kind of behaviour in others do you find it most difficult to tolerate? 3. If we were walking down a crowded street together, and I started to sing or dance, how would you react?

1. I enjoy quite a lot of music - if someone wanted to get me to dance (it's near impossible if there's anyone around), then they'd have to play music like the examples below:
2. Demonstrating my recent discovery of the list function:
3. I'd make a list.
I'll carry Trum's questions on, given that he just answered mine.

1. Is it possible to miss out on something you don't really want in the first place?
A: Yes I think it is. If said event turns out to be the talk of the town for the next decade or so. 2. Are there any experiences that you feel are absolutely essential for all people to have? Everybody should experience hunger (even if in just a small way) Everybody should feel scared once in a while with what they are about to dive into Everybody should feel the intense joy of witnessing a sunrise in the himalayas or a starry night on the African Savannah; or the thrilling sense of being alive that can hit you unexpectedly for no specific reason. Hey this could turn into a long list.... so I'll stop here... 3. Would you like a hug? Yes please. Unless it is from someone who as just been swimming in smelly slimy goo... ____________ New questions. 1. What is your favourite date of the year? 2. Do you believe in a life after death 3. Have you ever tasted real liquorice and did you like it? |

1. It's a tie between November 23 and March 14.
2. Yes -- at the very least, dead people live on in the memories of their still-living loved ones, and some leave behind legacies that last for millennia. 3. I don't recall having done so. *** 1. Do you ever find yourself liking a work of art less if its creator holds views you find offensive? 2. Do you ever find yourself concerned that a view you hold might offend someone? 3. Do you ever find yourself concerned that someone might have the wrong idea about a view you hold and will feel offended when they probably shouldn't?
