Such deep questions!
  1. It would be anything I'm deeply passionate about in all faucets. I love music and would love to have made a secure living as a working musician. I don't mean celebrity here, just being good, involved, and respected enough for esteem and security sake.
  2. Rich cultural center, near large bodies of water, diverse restaurant and club scene, not far from nature, bike trails, concert tour stop, generally liberal, cool buildings and history, and a government without a fuct transit plan. (My city fails in one of those areas--ask me how!)
  3. Being raised by parents who take responsibility for child development and end up being life-long friends, and are great mentors in respect to life's passions and achievements. Such a person would move out into the world and would be unlikely to fail or be unhappy, even without being steenkeen rich. At least, I imagine so.
________
  1. What would you fix about your local government?
  2. Do you love or hate the 'holidays'?
  3. Does your town have a good taco truck circuit?

1. The corruption and poor education of the elected officials, as well as the lack of perspective of the local voters..
2. Love/hate. I hate the rush and the crazy commercialism....but I love being able to spend the time quietly at home with Jaco dishing out catnip and squeaky toys to our four footed kids.
3. Nope....no tacos of any sort here...


1. Would you rather be a good person with an IQ of 50 or an evil person with an IQ of 250?

2. Would you rather be extremely obese with perfect skin or have the body of a model with terrible acne and pock marks?

3. If someone offered you $1 million to live a rather public life in the parking lot at a Kmart in Houston TX for a year would you do it?

1. Good person will an IQ of 50, there'd be much to find out and I'd be nice.
2. The acne one, since I don't find it THAT gross.
3. No. What would I do with the money?
______________

1. Based on my posts, which of the potential answers to q1 would I be (if you get that)?
2. is it snowing where you are?
3. Is it normal to get jealous?

1. That depends on what you're referring to. Do you have something specific in mind? the answer is likely to be "yes", unless there would be practical obstacles such as lack of time.
2. My knowledge of Spanish is very small, and about the size of my French knowledge. I'm slightly better with German, but the only languages I can claim to speak are Swedish and English.
3. I'd have to do some research first.

1. My answer to question one above: Does it make me boring or responsible?
2. What language would you like to learn (or learn better)?
3. What's the number one thing you'd like to change about your life right now?

1. Responsible. I think it's a good thing to be practical.
2. Latin would be fun, I think.
3. While I was working at Telltale, my answer would have been "nothing". Now, my answer is "get out of school already, damnit!"

1. What's with all of SSH's Dora the Explorer questions?
2. Is it pronounced "Dora the Explora" or "Dorer the Explorer"?
3. Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

1. Perhaps he is suffering from Dad-of-young-childrenitis?
2. Doder The Exploder, actually.

1. Has everyone listened to Trumgottist's advice and played Frasse and the Peas of Kejick?
2. Why does Spongebob live in a piece of fruit...as opposed to, say, the empty shell of a strongylocentrotus drobachiensis?
3. What animal (nonhuman that is) do you most resemble and why?

1. What happened to the choice of graphically progressive and re-conceptualized and intellectually challenging adventure that forces us to throw out our preconceived notions of what adventure games are and could be?

2. The quality of old style games wrapped in a delicious shell of real time 3D.

3. Yes, but not of the stupid point-&-click idea where you're forced to solve stupid puzzles and the story basically solves the mystery for you instead of actually you yourself doing heavy handed investigative work with clues and evidence to reach a conclusion.

_______________

1. What kind of game would you play if you decided to abandon bona fide adventure games forever?
2. Are you adverse to many adventure games appearing exclusively on next gen consoles?
3. Which non-adventure would you like most to be recreated as non-action and intellectually challenging adventure game?

The Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie series, to start. I just wish there were some mystery games that were actually mystery driven, not puzzle driven. I hate when they throw a puzzle at you where the actual work has nothing to do with the plot and then you solve it and the cutscene comes and the mystery is revealed for you.

1. Not at all. Even people who overdo fandom can draw unexpected benefits. Ever seen Trekkies? Those guys know how to party.
2. I inherited a crappy office/storage room, so it's extremely messy through no fault of my own (well, maybe a little).
3. Not a lot, but more than I used to. It's so satisfying to realize that I'm a growing, maturing human being. Thank you, Mel. Just as I'm writing this, I'm thinking about partitioning the answers/questions section with an ascii pair of boobs. I guess some things are slower to change than others...
