A) Hundley, he's mysterious and I'm also a writer so I'd like to learn from another writer. Either that or someone like DS who lives in a country completely foreign to my own. Either that or a particularly nerdy member because I have no idea what that life is like and I'd like to experience whether it is fun for them or just incredibly lonesome.


Q) Do you have any phobias?

Yes, bees and wasps. Basically any flying stinging insect. can't stand to be in the same room as them... or when out in the open, closer than 100 feet.

If you had the option to give someone (other than yourself) a super power, what would the power be and who would get it?

Car Combat Video Games in the vein of Vigilante 8 and Twisted Metal.

Reason: I love the genre and very few of these games are made because there isn't a big enough audience and video games are expensive to make. Niche music gets made and is arguably plentiful regardless of audience size in this age of the internet and my interest in TV and movie genres admittedly largely fall in the mainstream tastes anyway.

Do you own a pet? what kind? and why or why not?

torque is a work of art. the director treated it as a joke and most of the actors were in on it except ice cube who apparently took the role seriously and thought he was making a genuine action movie.

(if you don't want to watch the entire clip make sure you at least skip to 4:00 and watch the motorcycle duel between pepsi and mountain dew)

Getting the most pleasure/happiness out of it and possibly living long enough to see it indefinitely extended (one can hope). 'Side missions' are to make other's lives better if I'm capable or willing to sacrifice a bit. (I'm not exactly selfless, but I'm not outright selfish either)

As for the topic of religion, as a Atheist Agnostic, I don't recognize being one as being smarter or morally/ethically better or anything like that. I don't think religious people are stupid. I think they are either naive or brainwashed. (No offense meant! But I suppose there are those that would be...)

There are plenty of stupid atheists and agnostics. Likely in equal amounts as religious people. And those that are amoral are also likely in roughly equal number between the 2 groups.

The issue at hand for me when it comes to those that are religious though tends to vary. There does tend to be more homophobes that are religious for instance, but obviously you guys are not. My issue with you then would be more philosophical in nature than social or practical. With perhaps the exception of (the thing I mention earlier) life extension:

Being religious (thus likely believing in god or some form of life after death), if humanity discovered a cure for aging, and it was cheap/affordable, would you take it? What if there was a way to make you completely undying? If a loved one asked you to become undying with them perhaps? or maybe you'd even deny someone you cared about from becoming undying as perhaps you thought it would be horrible for them (even though they said they wanted it)?

All of this might end up not mattering. We may never cure aging, let alone become undying within a near enough time frame.

BTW those were not my questions for the game topic! but feel free to answer them! (in fact please do)

Cliche question but a good one: If you were stranded on a remote island and could take 1 book to read, 1 video game (and a system and power source to play it on), 1 movie to watch (again with the proper equipment to view it), and 1 music album (for the third time, with something to listen to it on) what would they be?
