3. If you entered an Idol-competition, what would happen?

1. Yes, I'm really not interested in many non-adventure games, so a gaming company that specialized in other things would not be for me.
2. If the company work ethos is not well balanced with my personal lifestyle, I'm out. I'm done spending all of my free hours lubricating the cogs of the corporate world with my life's blood (I'm still corporate, but not jumping through as many hoops).
3. I'd fail miserably, having no passion for it. I'm more interested in being in the band backing up the idol.

1. MGTD.
2. Neatness and attention to details.
3. I never drink coffee, but with sugar and milk it's even less appealing than black, so yes

1. What colour laserpointer do you like the most?

2. What is the lowest screen refresh frequency you can stand?

3. Do you have a little birds house in your garden or balcony? Is it inhabited?

[lumi]

1. Blue. For some reason it's what I associate with electronics.
2. I'd say 75 Hz, maybe 70.
3. There's isn't an actual house, but a hummingbird feeder and something for other birds to eat from. They're not being used this time of year.

1. When you put clothes on, how far in advance did you know that's what you'd be putting on?
2. Can you stand watching the news?
3. Do you ever go to the bookstore to browse books you haven't heard of before, or do you always have something in mind that you'll buy?

[Squinky]

1. A couple of minutes, most of the time. Yeah, I'm SO not girly.
2. I could if I tried hard enough, but I usually don't.
3. Usually, when I buy books, it's because I've already read them and know I'll want to read them again. Most of the time, though, I go to bookstores to stand in there and skim through whatever piques my interest.

1. Separating stories from puzzles is for lazy, uncreative, and unimaginative lamers. Besides, I'm sick of being Pavlov's dog and expecting rewards for my brainwork, why not intermesh them in a much more intriguing, naunced package?

2. I can't stand the general direction they've taken today. It's boring, lame, unimaginative, and derivative. That's why I've gone beyond in search of where the essence and quality of the adventure has gone (in terms of narrative, characterization, intellectual challenges, and exploration), namely in recent, past, and upcoming titles like the Knights of The Old Republic series, Silent Hill series, Beyond Good & Evil, ICO, Mass Effect, Bioshock, and Alan Wake. That said, I still look forward to the quality of traditional adventures coming up, like in A Vampyre Story and Gray Matter.

3. I can tell you now, that's one of the stupidest ideas I've ever heard. Please re-think the idea behind the question.

1. Do you or have you ever had a weight problem?

3. If you haven't already, which extreme sport would you take up?

1. I do sometimes struggle to stay fit. I lose motivation very quickly and love junk food- though I don't eat it much anymore. So I'd say that if there's a "problem" it is mostly a psychological one, rather than a physical one. That said, I'll always be curvy and never wiry or thin like models are.

2. I'd probably be a hedgehog...something a bit prickly...likes to explore, root around in the dirt, eat lots of food, and roll up in a ball. My owner would have to be extremely patient and just let me loose in the garden to do my hedghoggy thing.

3.Hmm...extreme sport? I'm not a big sports fan, extreme or otherwise...but I might actually try hang gliding; it looks peaceful, yet exciting.


1. Favorite ethnic dishes? (be specific)
2. What food(s) will you never ever eat?

[Trumgottist]

1. I think the last time was in my mid-teens. The subject was my younger sister.
2. I lost it earlier, too, but I don't wish to lose it now.
3. My temper.

1. Favourite non-fiction book?

1. I have this book about Chagall that I love.
2. I'm not a glamorous person but I do think that some glamour in the everyday life is necessary at times. Don't make me explain any further.
3. Serious games, preferably with a crimestory and some horror in it.

1. Selfish behaviour. Parking in Bus Stops because you can't be bothered to walk. Lighting up in a bus shelter (I have a real problem with cigarette smoke) Playing loud music on your mobile on public transport. Sure, these are all minor things but each one just makes life that bit less pleasant for everyone else. .
   
2. All sorts of stuff. The strangest things strike me as funny. Belatedly realising I've been stupid is a common one.
   
3. Not getting out of bed and going to work counts as a good start to my day. Otherwise the routines tend to stay the same but factors out of my control (the weather, getting a seat on the train) make the difference.

1. If you had enough money to keep you going for life (i.e. did not have to work), what would you do with your time?
   
2. What gets you through a tough day?
   
3. What book would you recommend to others and why?

Now I feel like the laziest mum in the world. How on earth do you make it getting up that early?
And do you really put your nephew down for a nap? Isn't he the gay guy, I mean an adult?

Coffee gets me up. That helps a lot If I don't do all of my work in the mornings then I'll be behind for the rest of the day. You know that feeling like your chasing something all day, but you're not really sure what it is your chasing. By lunch time I have finished most everything for that day so the rest of the day I work on business plan and play with the kids. They take a nap around 1 pm and get about an hour and a half, then snack and up playing again.

Now mind you at 10pm or 11pm when I go to bed I'm so tired that I fall fast a sleep, get 5 or 6 hours sleep and do it all again.

I do laundry Mon – Friday so on the weekends I do what ever I want that does not involve house work. The weekends are strictly for family time and some alone time for me.

I say nephew but really he is my god son. He is 1 year old and a hand full.

The gay one is my brother in law. My DH brother.

1. If you had enough money to keep you going for life (i.e. did not have to work), what would you do with your time?
2. What gets you through a tough day?
3. What book would you recommend to others and why?

1. I'd work on writing, graphic novel, and games projects....I'd spend time creating no kill animal shelters, funding animal welfare education programs, and setting up mobile vaccination and spay/neuter clinics....I'd spend a lot of time writing checks to environmental conservation orgs...I'd go shopping for an eco friendly car....I'd plant a big lovely orchard of organic fruit...I'd go to sushi making school so I can make truly attractive and correct sushi...and I'd spend a lot of time traveling the world...

2. My ability to completely withdraw into a prickly, hard assed shell of no nonsense survival.

3. Their Eyes Were Watching God, by Zora Neale Hurston. It's an incredibly good book about early 20th century life for one very independent minded African American woman. It's a refreshing look into another culture, written by a Jazz Age black woman, and it is completely devoid of the sterotypical bullcorn which portrays blacks only as victims and not as dynamic human beings.

1. Name one food that you can cook really well.
2. How do you make that yummy dish?
3. Name one food you cook badly?

1. Gumbo
2. cast iron skillet, good roux, seafood, good stock, okra and plenty of spice
3. um..Jello salad. I can't make one to save my life.

1. Are the bottoms of your feet rough and callused or smooth?
2. When you leave the salon, is it always with expensive bottles of conditioner and shampoo or do you resist the stylist's suggestions and say no?
3. Have you ever been caught and ridiculed because you were trying to do the moonwalk or other embarrassing dance move?

Wow, Mr. Homoludens. Just when I thought you couldn't possibly be more of a haughty, arrogant asshat, you outdo yourself once again.

Hey, you asked, you got an answer. What were you expecting, pastel coloured compliments?
