vampire sex would suck because she would be room temperature.

That's *cold* of you, man.

Okay, no more vampire questions.

If you were forced to watch only films from one trilogy listed below for six months, which would you pick?

Indiana Jones (Crystal Skull isn't a REAL IJ film)
Back to the Future.
Star Wars 1-3 (The New Ones)
Star Wars 3-6 (The Old Ones)
Lord of the Rings.

I spent a long time thinking about how to put that one, glad you got the gist of it (:
Okay, here's some tougher ones, I think.
1. Would you rather have a spouse who loves you unconditionally, but forgets everything that happened the previous day every time she wakes up (this condition would appear after a few months of marriage, so you're still in the groove of almost newly-weds), or a spouse who is also compatible with you, but refuses to get intimate?
2. What is the nicest thing someone has ever done for you? What is the nicest thing you've ever done for someone? Please don't try and downplay that second one, everyone always does.
3. If I were to buy you the gift of your choice right now, for any price, what would it be?
4. If you could change one facet of your persona, what would it be? Looks, personality traits, I don't care, just have a good reason.
And walk me through your thought process dammit, if I wanted only answers I would've given this as a Scantron.

1. I don't think I could deal with my spouse being reset every day, and after a while it would be just as hard for her when things start changing, like the house she lives in or the dog we own. It would be impossible for me to be on the same level as her if she can't remember the months or years we've had together. Actually, could you just watch 50 First Dates instead of me showing my work?

2. It's unfortunate I don't keep a catalogue of my entire life, because when I get asked questions about it I can only remember whatever pops into my head, which may not be the best answer. But here's something. It's another story about a girl, more recent than the other one:
I'd been in love with her for a while. She wasn't sure how she felt about me, but she wasn't really in a position to return my love. I don't really need to get into that, but when this took place, she had gone through a pretty bad breakup two months before. I had a feeling she was ready to move on, but again, I was terrified of doing something that would drive her away from me. But, I wanted to be with her so badly, I had to say something... unfortunately it came out in the form of a terrible line about sexual attraction.
After that, I confessed I was still in love with her, but everything I did seemed to scare her away even more, until she just left. I saw her briefly the next day but she hardly said a word to me. She was distraught and didn't want to talk.
The next day, at least I think it was the next day, I run into a good friend of hers. Well, more like he found me. I sorta know the guy, we had talked quite a bit I suppose. He didn't seem very happy with me at all. After being angry and accusing me of a lot of things I didn't understand, and me alternating between defensive and offensive, he told me how this girl was feeling and that I was a terrible person. I did a pretty poor job of explaining myself, since I was a nervous wreck after being shut out by the girl when she was in distress.
He could have just told me to stay away from her and then left. Instead he got me to explain myself (took a while) and made me apologize to her. His conversation gave me the clarity I needed, so if he hadn't tried to help me through that, I might never have had a real conversation with this girl again. She still means a lot to me, but that is a different story.
That is the best thing anyone has done for me, even though he was angry at me and was doing it to defend his friend.

The nicest thing I ever did for someone? That's a hard thing to keep track of. I think I'm a very... neutral person. Not terribly proud of that. I... I think I might not be good at doing good things. Jesus, I need to start saving people's lives, or at least helping old ladies cross the street. I mean, I'm not a jerk, I just don't go out of my way... shit guys.

3. 88-key keyboard with MIDI compatibility and all of those sweet ass-fucking functions. Right now I have a tiny 37-key thing that's about 10 years old and is more of a children's toy than a musical instrument.
Of course, the gift of love is priceless.

4. I can change my persona. That is not a flight of fancy, that is something entirely within my power. I just said I want to start committing more random acts of kindness, so I will.

if you give any advice to yourself when you were, say, 14, what would it be?
what is the most meaningful thing you've ever made or done (to you personally)?
what is the thing you hate most about your life right now?

A new update of iTunes (10.6.1) is available. Would you like to download it now?

1. That is tricky because it has to be advice I'd follow. I'd like to say "Schoolwork is important, fuckin' do it" but I knew that and I didn't do it. I think I'd give myself advice on how to not give a flying fuck about people, so that I could get a head start on being a jaded bastard. I think that's what helped me get over my shyness and introversion, so being less lonely in 9th grade would have helped my social life a lot after that, I think.

2. I haven't had a lot of big, life-changing, meaningful events. It's been small increments. I don't think I can answer this question, and that is kind of sad.

3. I am an incredibly lazy and unmotivated person who finds great challenge in accomplishing the simplest of tasks. So basically, I hate how much I disappoint myself.

4. Already did, bitch.




Ambient Malice: Star Wars. Original trilogy. Didn't have to think for a second.

what is one of your favourite dreams that you can remember?
what is your favourite instrument?
what is the longest amount of time you've gone without sleeping?
what is your favourite thing to do when you're procrastinating, and why?
what is your favourite type of alcohol?

1. What would you name your first born child?
2. You have to paint your walls one color. What color would that be, and why? You could hook my up with some Hexidecimal if you were feeling really snazzy.
3. What's the worst injury you've sustained? You could take the emotional route and depress me, but I was thinking more physical; those are generally more fun to tell.
4. You can eliminate one law from the books. It would be Canada exclusive, and could never be re-instilled in any form. What law and why?

1. Kinda tricky to remember. I want to cheap out and say the one where I had really hot sex, but that's kinda boring for you, isn't it? How about the one where I was mothafuckin' Pikachu and my bro Squirtle and I were running around solving crimes and beating up zombies?
I was ten.

2. To play, the keyboard. It's the only one I can play, and I can barely play it. My all-around favourite is the electric guitar, because they're just so darn cool.

3. 31 hours, for a cast party. It was in this huge playground thing that we rented for the night. It's a big complex of tubes and arcade games for kids and i was 18 and it was so fun.

4. Forums, IRC, Reddit, Armor Games, e621, Reddit again. If I'm not saturating my brain with dopamine, I might feel like getting something done.

5. The kind in permanent markers because it smells sooooo good. I don't drink, sorry.

Hi again cultr, I love you too.
1. It would depend a lot on my wife's opinions, wouldn't it? I think Zach is a good name. Or I could be a dick and name him Samuel (you have to know my last name to understand why that makes me a dick).

2. This colour, because purple's fucking awesome and relaxing and chill.

3. I kind of like not injuring myself. It's a passion of mine. It doesn't make me a pussy, it makes me smart. I go skiing and fly off jumps and race through the trees between runs, but not if I could fuck myself up. The worst thing I've ever done was fall off my bike when I was 5 and cut my head open on a rock. Then the cut got infected and it looked ugly and leaked pus for about a week. So bad-ass.

4. The one that makes pot illegal. I've never used it, and although I'd consider it if pot were legal, I don't want to legalize it so I can smoke it. Gang violence is a severe problem where I live.

1. A man rolls a die. If 1, 2, 3, or 4 come up and you've earned $1000. If you get a 5 or 6, you're killed on the spot. Completely painless, just ceases immediately. You roll successfully the first time. The man then informs you that you can have it rolled again, this time for $1,000,000. Would you risk it?
2. Would you rather be given an average sized house for free, or a luxurious house normally priced at $1 million for only $400,000?
3. Would you rather have functional wings or functional gills and webbed appendages? Neither would be questioned by anybody; assume they won't hinder you in scenarios that would be easy without them.

[sexplosive]

if you could get one of the older members who sort of stopped being active start posting here again who would it be?

[Captain Fabulous]

1. Maybe someone who knows game theory could correct me, but it seems that if the stakes are death, it doesn't make a difference if it's one cent or $1,000,000. If you live, then you get money and you're on your way. Obviously a million bucks would be better than a penny. If you die, then you are dead. The money didn't matter. So I would not risk either roll. There's more to life than money anyway.

2. Average-sized house for free. My house is worth quite a bit less than $400,000, and I get by just fine. I really don't need a mortgage and interest and all that shit if it's so easily avoidable.

3. WD asked me if I'd rather live in the sky or unda da sea, and I said the sky because it's awesomer. So I like the sky, that's a pro for getting wings. You know what would be great with the ladies? Wings. Not gills. And you know what is a much better form of transportation than walking? Flying. I think wings might be even cooler than rocket boots, considering there's a much lower risk of death. I was never very partial to water, and again, it gets dark down there. And and and, remember that scene when Harry Potter grew gills? He wasn't looking too sexy then, was he?
tl;dr wings are pretty fucking awesome and everyone knows it.

If the chance arose, would you accept a job as an astronaut?

[Captain Fabulous]

Alright so if I could tackle my motivation issues, yes, and I'd work hard to prepare myself for the job. You have to have like five Ph.D's and be RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPED, so I think there's no way it could happen, but it's space. I'd push myself harder than I ever have before if it meant going into space. Sometimes I think the idea of being in outer "motherfucking" space is underappreciated.
