1. I haven't seen #1, I liked #2, and I find #3 too lengthy for my limited attention span, much like the books.
2. I have a collection of elephant figurines I've accumulated over the years, mainly because whenever I tell people that I like elephants, they go out and buy me elephant-related things for special occasions.
3. The games I actually spend most of my time playing are puzzle games - namely Sudoku, Solitaire (sometimes with real cards!), and Tetris. The games I spend my time developing the most, however, are adventure games.

1. Do you think it's good to give change to beggars?
2. How much change do you tend to carry with you at any given point in time?
3. Describe an event that changed your life.

1. If they ask nicely and I have some at hand I tend to give. Maybe because it makes me feel better..

2. maybe about 20kr (in smaller change, 1kr's, 5kr's etc.) when I have cash..

3. My boyfriend.. Wouldn't moved together with someone or to oslo if it wasn't for him.

****
My questions:
1. What's your favourite animal? (and I'm not talking what you like to eat)
2. What attracts you to said animal?
3. What is your favourite time of Christmas?

1. In true adventure game™ style I much prefer to knock them out using a home-brewn very special apple jack, rob them of their last pennies so that I can finally use that public phone over there.

2. I'm broke!

3. In nineteen seventy-something mom met dad. Or did dad meet mom? In any case, nothing's been the same ever since... The only thing that comes close is the the day I had to drop college. *sobs*-_-





1. Your nickname: WHY?
2. Put all the pets you've ever had in alphabetical order by name, gender, species. Hey, that's not a question! True. So do you like what you just did?
3. Woodruff jelly is extremely hot stuff. Agreed?

3. What is your favourite time of Christmas?
1. As I mentioned earlier, elephants.
2. Maybe it's the long trunk and tusks, and massive size. Maybe it's the way they never forget. Or maybe it's because I watched Sharon, Lois & Bram's Elephant Show a lot in my early childhood.
3. 3:14 and 15 seconds.

1. It seemed like a good idea at the time...
2. There was Shenzi, who was a dog, and female. The rest were just fish whose names I forget and whose sex I didn't bother to check.
3. Having no experience with woodruff jelly... sure, why not?

1. How many AG forum members does it take to change a lightbulb?

1. Not sure, cats are nice, but rottweilers are more practical.
2. Cat's are cute, use a litter box on their own and aren't afraid of you like rodents. Big mean dogs can be useful for protection.
3. Boxing day.

1. One to change it, another to make a game of it, a third to delay both those things with an innane conversation, and a fourth to get upset at them over it.
2. To-may-toes.
3. Well, since I'm in the middle of watching kashimashi, NO. (If we're not refering to the girl who was a guy as "the guy")

1. Certain moments, yes. Most of it was rather meh.
2. Use it, accidentally making the universe implode.
3. Lee, but it's an honest and endearing sort of creepiness. I love him for it.

2. I went to work. I still don't know what I'm going to do afterwards.
3. I went to the Telltale Christmas party, watched a movie, and wrote stuff for an indie game I'm designing. Oh, and work, too.

1. Every month or two.
2. About as often as the avatar. I like them to match, you see.
3. Quite rarely. I have a nice-looking Star Trek ship as a background right now.

1. This one.
2. Because it's my baby.
3. People being genuinely affectionate towards me.

1. Does the use of "u" instead of "you" and other forms of internet shorthand bother you?
2. Does a lack of capitalisation and punctuation bother you?
3. Is it hip to be square?

1. No. The sort of people who do it aren't likely to eventuate into great novelists, so the world's not missing out on much. People can interact however they like. That said, using "lol" to punctuate one's own observations is incredibly irritating.
2. There's little point complaining about it. In fact, complaining about it annoys me more than it itself.
3. If you look like Buddy Holly, yes.

--- (Most of these have been covered one way or another, but here's a concise lump.) ---

1. Desert island album?
2. '' '' book and film?
3. '' '' game?

1. No. But I have heard plenty of songs that just plain make me want to get up and dance while the night is young, and that's good enough for me.
2. Yeah. But it's quality, not quantity, that I'm concerned with.
3. That does sound cool and all, but wouldn't I have to grow some gills first?

***

1. What's the password?
2. Do you look good in hats?
3. Have you ever contacted the creator of a work of art that really spoke to you to tell them how much said work meant to you?

1. adventuregamesrock27

1. One long.
2. Consoles I guess, though the term disillusioned suggests too much importance.
3. Now that's a really tough question. There's so many possible answers:
-Jesus
-Julius Ceasar
-The inventor of the pointy stick
-A neanderthal
-Genghis Kahn
-Socrates or Aristotle
-Budha
-A pagan high priest from an unrecorded religion
-Some important pharaoh
If I had to choose, I'd probably go with the spear inventor.

1. Suppose you lived in a fiercly patriarchal or matriarchal society(whichever would suit you worse). Would you be willing to change your gender to improve your social status? With current technology? What if the procedure was perfect?
2. Suppose you were to be resurected/reincarnated in a distant future where humans are quadripedal. Would you want your new body to be like that of present day humans or futuristec so you'd fit in?
3. Which person from the above list would you choose to resurect?

I used to be all for the one long, comfortable side, but in recent months, I've found myself leaning toward the numerous short, intense ones. This surprises me, but at the same time, it doesn't at all. I've always been a pretty intense person.

1. Well, if we had current technology, I'd probably just move somewhere else. *shrugs*
2. So, they'd have four legs and two arms like a centaur, or just walk on all fours? In either case, I'd give myself eight legs. And a pair of wings too, while I'm at it.
3. The neanderthal.

1. Shall I compare thee to a summer's day, or wouldst thou prefer something darker and/or colder?

You think a fiercely patriarchal society would just let you move somewhere else?

Like a chimp, no legs and four arms for walking, rowing, climbing, typing or moving in zero gravity. Walking wouldn't be a big issue, swinging, like from tree to tree, would work better.
