Early mornings.

Your birthday party or someone else's?

Jelena · 08-09-2008, 02:32 AM

Someone else's.

Grilled steak or grilled salmon?

*Fantasysci5* · 08-09-2008, 10:43 AM

Grilled salmon.

PC or consols?

Hammerite · 08-09-2008, 10:54 AM

PC, it's cheaper and easier to upgrade it than it is to keep buying the latest console.

Choose the one you are most likely to keep your eyes peeled for:
A giant skunk lizard
or
A shower of tiny exploding brains

*Fantasysci5* · 08-09-2008, 09:58 PM

A shower of exploding brain. I'm just gore-y that way.

Batman or Superman?

tsa · 08-09-2008, 10:07 PM

Superbat!

Post Quick Reply or Go Advanced?

*Fantasysci5* · 08-09-2008, 10:17 PM

Go advanced, for smilies. And that choice was cheating!!! lol

Sherlock Holmes or Agatha Christie?

tsa · 08-09-2008, 10:24 PM

That's an impossible choice. Sherlock Holmes is a character created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Agatha Christie is a writer.

Agatha Christie or Julie Christie?

*Fantasysci5* · 08-09-2008, 10:39 PM

haha Wow. I'm really sorry about that. It's late here and I guess my brain went to bed for the night. But doesn't she have a detective-like character in her books?!

If I may rephrase-Sherlock Holmes or Miss Marple?

And I choose Agatha.

*stepurhan* · 08-09-2008, 11:58 PM

Miss Marple. Everyone knows Holmes will solve the mystery but no-one ever realises the little old lady has a mind like a steel trap. (Best Miss Marple ever)

Murder Mysteries (characters used as prime examples rather than only ones of type)

Columbo style (you know who did it and have to work out how Columbo will solve it)
or
Poirot style (you have to try to work out who did it yourself)

*Fantasysci5* · 08-10-2008, 08:56 AM

Poirot style-I like trying to see if I can solve the mystery before the reveal.

Salty or sweet?

AndreaDraco83 · 08-10-2008, 09:28 AM

Obviously salty! Chips, popcorn, salami sandwiches, and so on... Forget about the unbearable cookies and cakes!

Edgar Allan Poe or Lovecraft?

*Fantasysci5* · 08-10-2008, 12:22 PM

No, it's all about the sweets! Nice chocolatey goodness....yum.

Edgar Allan Poe-more gore that isn't so obviously science fiction.

Comedy or dark themed? (In adventure games)

tsa · 08-10-2008, 07:30 PM

As long as there is no horror involved I choose dark themed. I'm not into funny games at all. And horror gives me nightmares.

First date: meet at someones home or in a cafe?

Squinky · 08-10-2008, 08:07 PM

Depends how well I know the person before we start dating. I'd feel a lot less comfortable going to a stranger's home than a friend's.

Blind dates or friends first?

*Fantasysci5* · 08-10-2008, 10:01 PM

Friends first. You know their character better.

Talking on the phone or IM?

Squinky · 08-10-2008, 11:39 PM

IM. I hate telephones with a passion... well, except when the person on the other end has a sexy voice.

New media or old media?

tsa · 08-11-2008, 11:35 AM

I use them both. As long as the content is good I don't care.

iPhone or PDA?

tsa · 12-18-2008, 12:27 PM

Since nobody has answered in four months I'll answer myself: PDA.

Cauliflower or broccoli?

Hammerite · 12-18-2008, 01:49 PM

Broccoli.
I can't stand cauliflower.

Lighthearted, carefree comedy or hard-hitting satire?
