Yes, yes, more yes, and a greater "yes." Though I slightly prefer Ron Swanson.
Same, sort of - I prefer story to gameplay. However, if I might say something, Pokemon Black and White, as well as Sun and Moon, all have rather good stories, if you were ever wanting to get into Pokemon. (And Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky has one of the best stories I've ever seen, though that game would be kinda difficult for a "noob" to Pokemon.)
XXIX. Is the Byzantine Empire its own entity, or is it part of the Roman Empire?
XXX. Thoughts on this myth?
XXXI. How about this one?
XXXII. Did you know Rex Glacies means "King of Ice?"
XXXIII. I know a farmer that has a... colossal... appetite. (E.g. he'll fill his plate up as high as it is wide and ask for seconds.) Do you have such an appetite?
XXXIV. I also know someone who also has peacocks on their farm. What... exactly do they do (aside from looking unique)?
XXXV. Time or money?
XXIX. It was part of the Roman Empire, but then it separated. Depending on who you ask, however, it can be said that the Byzantine Empire was the true Roman Empire all along.
XXX. I'm sorry, anytime I hear these old Norse myths I think of Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston.
XXXI. ...and you just made me imagine Chris Hemsworth crossdressing. Thanks a lot.
XXXII. Rex=T-Rex=king of dinosaurs. Glacies=Glacier=cold. I know enough about Latin to be able to guess what a lot of those phrases mean.
XXXIII. I have a large appetite, but not that large!
XXXIV. They eat bugs. Particularly ticks, which are a serious problem where I come from. Also, their feathers are great tickle wands!
XXXV. Time.

I guess that makes sense.
Good choice my friend, good choice! The only right choice.
....
You're kidding right?
29) Why did you not play Pokemon?
30) What other important things did you miss?
29) I've only played video games for the past two years, and I still haven't played very many. The most important thing to me in an RPG is the story and the characters, not the gameplay. Pokemon just seems so gameplay-centered. I'm sure I'll play one eventually... after I finish playing all of the more promising games on my need-to-play list.
30) I was homeschooled, so... everything? I dunno, you tell me!

then you should consider studying psychology some more. i'm asking as a psych nerd
you missed my edit too:classical or operant conditioning?
Classical. I don't remember much, but I remember liking that one more.

What if this is all some psychological experiment, and it's actually been orchestrated by the mods since the beginning? What if there's a mole in the group? What if this is just a dumb and entertaining way to spend a couple seconds of our day?
Scary possibilities, guys.
Guess what? I know who the mole is.

Eh. I intend on naming one of my own children after myself... assuming I get married. Er, my real name. Not Rex Glacies.
Although Rex and Glacia aren't bad names...I think I saw this elsewhere as well. Cool.
Also cool. You're really neat Sully.
XXII. Have you ever been to public school, or were you homeschooled you entire life?

XXV. Favorite Parks and Recreation character?

XXVII. Do you know anything about the Byzantines?

XXVI. Cold.
XXVII. Yes.
XXVIII. Also yes.

what's your dream career if you have something in mindIt's quite an interesting field. Human interactions are my favorite thing to study.
I'm a multipotentialite, so my dream career is one that I make up myself. I'll call myself a "creativity specialist".

I found a few more pictures! There aren't many though. I had to really dig for them!
Spoiler
This is a picture of me after bowling. I'm the guy in the blue shirt being attacked.
This is a picture of me after eating ice cream! I'm the tall guy in the middle.
Here's a picture of Gertrude. She's old and cranky. She's also dead. RIP Gertude.
This is from hay season 4 years ago. I'm the guy driving the tractor.
What did I tell you? There aren't a lot of pictures.

Never heard of it honestly.
20) Would you recommend it?
21) Care to name a few things?
It's fine, don't worry about it. I was just suprised. I'll ask again when the interview is almost over.
I always see Res=emotinal will and Skill=dexterity. I thought at least the last one was what most people would use, but it's intresting to see someone with a different view.
22) What exactly did you use for Res then?
Oh wow, you also like pirates?! Nice!
23) Who's your favorite pirate/beserker?
Glad you at least know Gregor is amazing.
Before I forget you liked reading:
24) What kind of books do you like to read?
25) What's your favorite book?
Going back to the whole homeschooling thing:
26) Since I'm not familiar with this, can you still get into university and stuff when you're homeschooled? (I'm used to it depending on how well you did in school, so I'm curious if/how they'd test that in your case)
Not sure whether this has already been asked, but:
27) Favorite school subject?
28) Least favorite one?
20) If you like mockumentary comedies like The Office, you'd love Parks and Rec.
21) I'd find a way to get more social interaction into the mix. When I was a kid people would say "oh, but you have so many brothers and sisters. You don't need friends!" That is SO not true!
22) Res=emotional stability. Your way is better, though.
23) Dart. Good backstory, good unit, and he's a freaking pirate for goodness' sake!
24) I like reading epic fiction and philosophical nonfiction.
25) Fiction: Les Miserables. Nonfiction: Mere Christianity.
26) Homeschoolers can still take the SAT or ACT. Also, there are several colleges that make it very easy for homeschoolers to enroll. Homeschoolers can actually start college early if they're smart enough. For instance, I'm no genius, but I skipped high school and went straight to college and haven't had any major issues.
27) Math. I love the logical skills it uses.
28) English. Don't get me wrong, I love writing. Which is why I hate it when "professionals" tell you you have to write about a certain thing in a certain way with a certain word count. There's nothing creative about that!

what do you do to de-stress
what physical traits do you look for in a romantic partner
same as above but personality traits
what traits do you look for in friendsPlay video games, read, and visit the forums.
Nothing in particular, probably because I'm desperate. The only thing I really care about is the way they dress. Anyone who dresses specifically to catch male attention is usually too immature for a serious relationship.
I like my women to be somewhere near that perfect level of independence, where they are fine with depending on you but don't depend on anyone else. I actually prefer a woman with a few personality issues, because I have personality issues and I always figured we could solve ours together.
I don't have that many options, so just about anyone who wants to be my friend becomes my friend. I could be choosy if I were more popular maybe.

3 hours ago, Natalie said:So you want at least 18 children but you're not in a relationship, huh? We need to get you fixed up if soon if you're going to have time for all that!
31. When I was little I wanted to own a farm because I played Harvest Moon haha. Tell me something great about farming!
32. And something terrible about farming!
Thanks I guess haha.
33. What do you think about baby pink?
34. Why aren't you going to call one of your children Natalie? Natalie is a biblical name!
35. I'm afraid I'm a filthy agnostic. Tell me an interesting story from the Bible!
36. Have you ever done any research or explored other religions?
37. How many FE games do you own physical copies of?
38. Do you speak any other languages?
39. Do you run?
40. Do you like Star Wars?
I'll try and ask more questions if I have time while I'm away, but if not, see you in two weeks!
31. It builds great work ethic. My mom always tells me that I'm going to grow up and look back at my childhood and see that my adult life is easy compared to what I had to do then. If I can manage 100+ cows single-handedly, what can I not do? It also helps that I love the great outdoors and cows are cute.
32. The schedule. I'm a night owl who loves to stay up until midnight but morning milking demands that I be up and ready to go at 5:00 AM. I usually end up falling asleep in someplace during the day.
33. Anything would be cute on you! Personally, I don't prefer baby pink, or hot pink, or psuedo-pinks (like Nantucket red), but that's because I'm a guy.
34. Because then @Arcanite would be all like, "hey, why don't you name a kid after me?", and then @Rex Glacies and @Claudius I would hop on board and NONE OF THOSE are good names for innocent children.
35. There once was this guy called Balaam who was supposed to do one thing but decided to do something else. In order to set him straight, God gave his donkey the ability to speak. I used to have a donkey called Balaam.
36. Yeah. It was necessary for school.
37. 3: Awakening, Conquest, and Echoes.
I've got to run and do farm stuff, I'll finish answering your questions when I get back!
OK, I'm back!
38. I speak a little bit of Spanish. I wish I spoke more.
39.
Depends on what's chasing meWhen I feel like it.40. I used to LOVE Star Wars! I still catch every new movie that comes out.
I'm gonna miss you Natalie! Have fun while you're... doing whatever you're going to be doing for the next two weeks.
And here I was starting to like youI think there's several good ones on Netflix as well, but whatever. Go ahead and take your time, as long as you enjoy it.
13) Favorite show(s)?
That sounds like a lot of work to do for 6 kids, but I can see it giving beter results when done well.
14) Do your parent have any experience with teaching people (apart from teaching you and your sibblings)?
15) If/when you get kids yourself, would you also homeschool them?
I wasn't homeschooled and I can count the number of girls I've been friends with on one hand, just saying...
I don't think anyone who knows me a little irl would even consider calling me that, but thanks for the compliment I guess.
16) Be honest, how much of that assesment comes from my profile pic?
I like this attitute towards religion. I wish more people thought this way...
17) Why do think you'd have poor magic (you seem inteligent enough to me)?
I get the feeling you like mercenaries quite a lot (I like your taste). Just to be sure though:
18) What is your favorite class?
19) What do you think of Gregor, Raven and Saber (since they seem to be missing from the list)?
13) Parks and Recreation. I didn't watch a lot of TV growing up, so that's just about all I've seen.
14) Not really. I could see my mom being a great teacher in a public school, but she's always been more interested in other things.
15) Yeah. But there are a lot of things I'd do differently.
16) Being honest, all of it. Sorry, I don't actually know you at all. But I'm getting to know you better now!
17) Magic=intelligence? You see, the way I've always thought about it is that Magic=emotional will, while Skill=intelligence. But now that I think about it, your way does make more sense.
18) Pirate! But they're only playable in a handful of games, so I guess mercenary would be second best.
19) I like Gregor. I just forgot to put him on the list. While he's not that great as a unit, he's one of the only units in the game to have a solid backstory. Raven has a good backstory too. I feel like Saber is overrated. He's cool, but I'm more of a Jesse person.

12: If you were a FE character, what would your class and stats/growths be like?
13: Favorite historical era?
14: Favorite FE character from each game you've played?
15: Least favorite FE character?
2: Why thank you, that makes me happy.
3: Good luck on your endeavors.
4: 18 might be a bit much. I'm not even sure if that would be physically possible for me at this point. I know what you mean. I always wanted to have kids of my own. I think my sweet spot was about 4, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to with how demanding work and family can be with just two already.
7: I like Biblical names. I named my daughter Esther after all.
Oh wow, I just noticed that @Rex Glacies noticed that I failed to notice your questions! I'm sorry, Rezzy!
11. Boys: George, Nathaniel, Andrew, Robert, Thomas, James, Douglas, Dwight, and Ronald. Girls: Faye, Virginia, Bonnie, Agnes, Sue, Anne, Mavis, Renee, Peggy.
12: I'd probably be a mercenary. High STR and SKL, good HP and DEF, average SPD, poor MAG, RES, and LCK.
13. I think the 1800s were pretty cool.
14: FE6: Dieck. FE7: Legault. FE8: Gerik. FE9: Ike. FE13: Inigo. FE15: Gray

Excellent!
I'm liking you even more.
Indeed. It is simply homeschooling, but with the curriculum on the computer. There is a difference between the two, though few would likely pay attention to such.
Neat again. Ecclesiastes is frankly one of the most interesting, depressing, hilarious, and noteworthy books, in my opinion.
You're joking, right?
XV. As you said "I've done that before," in regards to cyberschool, might I ask: Did you do most of your schooling on the internet, or did your parents come up with your curriculum?
XVI. Which part of an ice cream cake is your favorite - the ice cream, the chocolate filling, the icing, etc.?
XVII. Favorite Zelda game?
XVIII. Which aspect of the Trifoce (power, wisdom, or courage) do you most associate with?
XIX. Have you read Job (or at least some of it), and if so, your interpretation of God's answer at the end?
XX. Who do you "main" in Smash Bros.?
XXI. You've been on this site for a while, and I've seen you in numerous places (such as in Serious Discussion), but only recently have I seen you in Far From the Forest. Why have you been hanging around here (or have you been around here for a long time and I've just not been paying attention)?
And I think you skipped over Rezzy's questions, unless you wanted to ignore them or were going to answer them soon.
XV. I didn't do any school on the internet. My parents bought computer programs that would teach things like history and science while offline.
XVI. All of it? It's the way that the parts make up the whole that make the cake special.
XVII. Link's Awakening.
XVIII. Courage.
XIX. Yes I have. The ending fleshes out God's character more than just about any other single passage in the Bible.
XX. Ike, Kirby, and Link. There's also this fangame for Smash that I play a lot where I use Isaac from Golden Sun and Sora from Kingdom Hearts.
XXI. In between my "Fan Projects" stage and my "Far from the Forums" stage I went through a "predict what the next Fire Emblem will be like while commenting on social issues" stage. I came here because I don't really have any friends right now in the real world and getting to know all of you has been fascinating.

17 minutes ago, Rezzy said:Calvinism is based on the teaching of John Calvin, who is a guy, who said things.
It's also where the first half of the comic Calvin and Hobbs gets his name.
16 minutes ago, Arcanite said:Why is everyone being somewhat cryptic O.o
7 minutes ago, Rezzy said:Being a theological thing makes it a bit tough to say in only a sentence or two, but from Google-fu's definition:
Calvinsim: the Protestant theological system of John Calvin and his successors, which develops Luther's doctrine of justification by faith alone and emphasizes the grace of God and the doctrine of predestination.
I'd say something witty, but I might offend someone.
Calvinism is a touchy subject within Christianity because of a loud minority that insists that we must all accept Calvinism in order to function as a religion. There. I said it. Please don't hurt me...

21. Do you think living life according to Bible standards is important?
22. Can you dance?
16.
Ever read Proverbs 8?17. Ah yes, "she is worth far more than rubies". However, I personally prefer the Song of Solomon woman. "Her navel is like a goblet overflowing with choice wine" and so on.
18. I like Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, as well as all of the historical texts.
19. Proverbs 30: five, no, six, no, seven, yes, seven things the Lord detests!
20. Jeremiah 29:11: "'For I know the plans I have for you,' says the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.'"
21. Pretty much. It's really all about loving God, loving your neighbor, and loving yourself, in that order. Individual commands aren't as much divine orders as they are extremely good advice for achieving those ends.
22. I can do the Harper's Ferry Quick-Step.

Hi there Sully! Since I actually nominated you I should probably think up some questions as well right? :P
1) I saw your answers on favorite male and female characters, but do you have a real favorite FE character?
2) Any thoughts on Camus?
3) What is your favorite arche type in FE?
4) Do you like any other games?
5) Do you like reading?
6) Do you prefer reading from paper or a screen?
7) Since you made a whole thread asking about anime, did you ed up watching anything?
8) Is there a specific reason you were homeschooled?
9) What do you feel you missed most not going to regular school?
10) Would you rather have gone to regular school or do you like being homeschooled?
And most importantly:
11) Why did you nominate me for an interview?
12) Any thoughts on me? (I can ask again after the interview if you want)
1) My #1? Ike. He just seems the most real to me.
2) Not really. I like Zeke better.
3) I love the Est archetype. No matter how hard they are to train, I love seeing the stats go up.
4) Final Fantasy, Zelda, Smash Bros, and, more recently, Legend of Heroes.
5) Yeah, when I have the time.
6) I prefer paper, but I do most of my reading after dark so I usually read off of a screen.
7) Not yet. Sounds like I'm going to need Crunchyroll, which isn't a problem, but I have a few other things I want to watch in other places first.
8) Technically, I'm homeschooled under religious exemption. But the real reason is that my parents prefer being able to customize their curriculum around each specific child's strengths and weaknesses. When you have 6 kids, it makes a lot more sense.
9) Friendships with people my own age. Particularly with girls my own age.
10) Overall, I'm glad I was homeschooled. I'm a unique individual but public school would have tried to make me fit in a mold. I certainly wouldn't be at the academic level I am now had I been public schooled.
11) I usually try to nominate people who are already active on the interview thread, so they are prepared for their name to be called.
12) Not really. You seem like an honorable gentleman.

Good choices on both accounts! Sain is my bae but some people dislike him *cough*Hatty*cough*.
I actually used to have turquoise hair when I was like 16 but it was a nightmare to keep it that way. One day I'll show you a picture haha.
YOU CAN GROW WATERMELONS IN YOUR GARDEN THAT IS SO COOL.
I can grow strawberries in mine, so I guess we're even.
Sullivan is like the best name ever. You're so awesome!
21. How many siblings to you have?
22. Favourite game or game series?
23. Opinion of people who dye their hair?
24. If you were to dye your hair for one day what colour would you pick?
25. Do you play FE Heroes?
26. Opinion of fanservice in FE?
27. Tea, coffee or other?
28. Do you know about milk's terrible secret?
29. Do you cook?
30. Favourite dessert?
Well, I'm certainly glad you like me and my name and my garden.
Flattery will get you anywhere...21. I have five siblings: An older sister who has married and now has 4 nieces and nephews (with a fifth on the way), an older brother who is also married (no nieces or nephews what a disappointment), an older brother who is afraid of romance and therefore not attached to anything or anyone, a younger brother with attitude problems, and a little sister with crazy attitude problems. I love 'em all!
22. Final Fantasy. In particular, Final Fantasy IX.
23. Usually they look gross. You are honestly the first person I've ever seen who looks good with dyed hair.
24. Blue.
25. I would if I had a smartphone, but I don't.
26. Porn exists. I'm sure there are a dozen websites out there if people want to see undressed characters from works of fiction. I don't see why Intelligent Systems feels like it has to parade immodest figures across the screen to make money.
27. Other? I dislike tea and I only drink coffee when I have to stay awake, but I'm immune to caffeine so it's really quite useless. Does milk fall in the "Other" category?
28. I know all of milk's secrets. Which one would you be referring to?
29. On occasion. Usually just frying eggs or making cinnamon toast. Never a full meal.
30. Milkshakes!

2. Both. Humanity is going to Hell in a handbasket, but look on the bright side!
3. Yes! I actually do. Ricky Scaggs is my favorite.
4. It's done good and bad things. The problem is that society tends to trust the media too much.
5. "Homesick" by MercyMe. Not a famous song by any means, but I remember it playing on the radio when I was a kid.
6. I live on a beautiful place of nature. But I really enjoy the Blue Ridge mountains about 150 miles to the west.
7. Coincidentally, it's raining currently. While dark clouds get everybody's spirits down, the rain means a reprieve from outdoor labor. I enjoy them every now and then.

Ooooooohhhhh!VIII. Your avatar reminds me of Harvest Moon. Ever played?
IX. ... What is your avatar from?
X. What other animals do you have on your farm?
XI. Fight or flight?
XII. Favorite season?
XIII. Do you know your Myers-Briggs personality type, and if so, does it fit you?
XIV. You say you are homeschooled; have you any familiarity with cyberschooling?
VIII. I've enjoyed playing a few Harvest Moon games. They call it Story of Seasons nowadays.
IX. It's Zidane from Final Fantasy IX. He's my role model.
X. Aside from cows, we have chickens, turkeys, peacocks, guineas, pigs, and too many cats and dogs!
XI. I love a good fight, but that's rarely the prudent alternative.
XII. Winter. It's too cold to work outside, so the whole family huddles up inside and plays video games by the cast iron stove
XIII. I remember it starts with an I... that's all, I'm afraid.
XIV. I've never heard the term before. Is it just homeschool on a computer? I've done that before.

7. What do you mean exactly?
I think that'll be my last question since I'm not wanted HEH HEH
Can't you take a joke?
7. You are odd. I find odd people more interesting than normal people, and I get an unholy kick out of studying people's brains. It's weird but I love doing it.
I still want you. If you're mad at me, make me regret it and drive me mad with questions!

3: Aspirations in life?
4: Opinion on kids, and do you plan to have any?
5: What is a movie, video game, etc that you hate that everyone else likes?
6: What is a movie, video game, etc that you like that everyone else hates?
7: Opinion on the name Rachel?
8: Opinion on petticoats?
9: Opinion on kilts?
10: Opinion on Ests in Fire Emblem?
2: When I first figured out that you were a parent, so you earned my respect. You are a pillar of the forums, and you seem to have a very sensible approach to everything. I think you're nice.
3: I want to be a world-class writer, psychologist, and counselor. Is that too much to ask?
4: I want to have as many kids as possible! To be frank, I'm more looking forward to being a father than actually getting married.
5: I don't get what's so great about Final Fantasy X. It seems like such a downgrade from the PSX games.
6: It's not as much something everybody hates as it is something nobody has ever heard of, but there used to be this LEGO Rock Raiders PC game. It was a really good RTS. I don't know why there aren't many more games like it nowadays.
7: I hope this doesn't offend you, but we homeschoolers are crazy about any name that comes from the Bible, Rachel being one of the more normal ones. Be lucky you weren't name Bildad or Tirzah.
8: They're cute, but not very convenient for managing a farm.
9: Only in context. Anybody who just wears a kilt for no good reason in the modern day is... unusual.
10: I love them! To me, more level ups = better characters. I love seeing the stats go up more than I love them actually being there. Nino > Pent every time.
35 minutes ago, Infinite Dreams said:1. Is that Zidane in your profile picture? If so, is FF9 your favourite Final Fantasy? (It's mine!)
2. How do you think success should be measured?
3. What scares you? Do you have any irrational fears?
4. What do you do to de-stress at the end of a long day?
5. What three words best describe you?
6. Are there any unspoken social rules that you dislike?
7. What do you value the most: free time, recognition, or money?
8. What's something you've tried that you'll never try again?
9. Would you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert?
10. What are you most grateful for right now?
11. Do you enjoy overcoming challenges or do you prefer things to be easy? Why?
12. If you could time travel, where would you go?
13. What are your pet peeves?
14. What movie/book/show do you secretly love?
15. What's been the most significant or best year of your life so far?
1. Yup. That's Zidane. FFIX is my favorite game ever.
2. Success should be measured by the positive effect you have had on other's lives after your life is through.
3. I'm afraid of accidentally offending people. I wouldn't call it irrational, though, because it happens frequently.
4. Play video games and chill at Serenes.
5. Eccentric, friendly, overconfident.
6. I wish there wasn't anything wrong with eavesdropping. There are so many useful things that random people say, but won't let you hear. I don't like that.
7. Time.
8. Sleeping in my underwear. Enough said.
9. I seem introverted because I'm worried about how the things I say sound to other people, but I love people and I love to find out more about them. So I guess I'm an extrovert.
10. Growing up with a good work ethic and the encouragement to pursue my dreams.
11. There are some things I prefer challenging (like math) and some things I like easy (anything with a word count). I can do just about any job, but I can't do every job well.
12. I would go to the 1960s and come out with all of the greatest rock and roll songs ever made before the original artists could write them. I'd be Elvis, Elton John, Journey and the Beatles all in one body.
13. I hate it when people get up at graduation parties and say "follow your heart". Don't follow your heart. That's stupid. Your heart doesn't have a brain. Think of all the divorces, unwanted pregnancies, and horrible life decisions that are all because somebody "followed their heart". That's just another way of saying "do whatever you want and don't worry about the consequences". And that is horrible life advice.
14. If I told you, it wouldn't be a secret, now would it?
15. When I was nine, I had a lot of fun playing with LEGOs. Back when I was young and innocent, before I realized how dark and cold the world was...

Should I ask the rest of my questions in an Arcanite impression?Sorry, I didn't see that you had posted. Have to say, love the Roman Numerals!
I. Never studied the Chinese elements, but of the classical elements I have to say water is the best.
II. Sins? Pretty much all of them at some time or another. Virtues? I'll say diligence.
III. My older brothers played Sacred Stones when they were kids. They introduced me to the series about a decade later.
IV. Every time I would look up Fire Emblem info, the Forest would be in the search results. Eventually I finally came around and visited.
V. Tolkeinology is pretty cool... I find just about all of history to be fascinating, so I can't really give a real world example.
VI. My real name is Sullivan. SullyMcGully was a childhood nickname of mine.
VII. Nah. No need to put yourself down on his/her level.

SULLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYY
I'm going to be away for most of your interview unfortunately, so I'll ask a lot now.

2. What gender do you think @Arcanite would be if they were human?
3. Who are your favourite female FE characters?
4. Who are your favourite male FE characters?
5. Least favourite FE game you've played and why?
6. How were you first led to join SF?

18. Favourite ice cream flavour?
19. 5 countries you'd like to visit?
20. What countries have you already been to?
Hey Natalie! I'm gonna miss you!
1. At first, I thought you were just another person. Now I know that you are a beautiful, intellectual, artistic goddess. In other words, I think you're great!
2. Something tells me that it is a she, but I'm really bad at guessing that kind of thing.
3. Lyn is pretty cool. I also am a fan of Rebecca, Nino, L'arachel, and Palla. Guess I have a thing for green hair. Hey... can you make your hair green, Natalie?
4: Of course, Ike and Hector are pretty high up there. Bu my favorites would actually be Legault, Sain, Gerik, and Virion.
5. I have to say Conquest. The gameplay is great, but I've never felt so unmotivated to finish a game. To me, the story is the most important part of a good gaming experience.
6. At first I was interested in writing a fan project. That got depressing though, so I started spending more time here.
7. I don't think I do... it was probably me telling some romhacker that if they needed help with their writing, I could assist them.
8. I like cats because they are smart. Not because they are cute, but because they know how to use their cuteness to get food and shelter. They're really quite devious, but so am I... sometimes...
9. I had muscle issues that kept me from getting to good at it, but I used to mess with piano. I'm more of a vocals guy.
10. I wish I knew all of them! Being good with the piano or guitar would be a nice start. I particularly like the mandolin.
11. Yes. I prefer art from the pre-1900s, but your art looks pretty good as well.
12. I write stories, songs, poetry, and such. I don't have the motor skills for painting or drawing, though.
13. Robot is MY love! No one else can have her (unless she's a guy).
14. @Clarine's was pretty interesting from a psychological perspective. I dig that kind of stuff.
15. Cola. I don't like sour things.
16. Watermelon. Something I can grow in my backyard, unlike strawberries.
17. She seems spontaneous and passionate, but her heart's in the right place. Plus, her design is pretty cute. Good luck drawing her!
18. Turkey Hill makes this flavor called Double Dunker.
19. Israel, Japan, Australia, France, Scotland.
20. Mexico and the Bahamas.
SF Interviews 2.0 - Florete
in Far from the Forest...
Posted
I promise, I'll play one... when I get around to it.
31) I play cornhole and watch the Super Bowl. But the latter I do mostly for the commercials.
32) A few. Russian rummy, spades, and such. Go Fish is always fun with kids. I've actually never played played poker or bridge, though.
33) I used to love board games. Risk is my favorite, but I haven't played it in 4 years. The problem is that in order to play a good board game, you need 3-6 people with 4+ hours of spare time on their hands. That's a rare situation on the farm. It's kind of sad, actually. One of the main reasons I picked up video gaming was because you can do it by yourself and put it down at anytime.
34) Our farm is located in a sweet spot for our kind of business. We're situated conveniently so that it only takes about 20 minutes to get to "town" and we are only two hours away from 4 of Virginia's biggest populated areas, which makes deliveries easier. However, we are far enough into the country that we have good land, room for expansion, and no property-hungry developers to worry about.
1337. Oh, I love this! "Who said I was perfect? Even gods make mistakes. That's why there are people like you in the world!"
I'm a really mean boss. I actually have a chalkboard in the parlor that says "IT HAS BEEN ___ DAYS SINCE THE LAST CATASTROPHE. IT WAS ___________'S FAULT.
