CC Asks:

Join Date:
Where were you born?
I was born in the greatest city in the world. New York City on the Lower East Side. I was then raised on Governor's Island across from the Statue of Liberty.

Where do you currently live?
I lived in NYC for a good part of my childhood before we moved to New Jersey where I've been ever since. My parents moved to Florida and I moved further South in NJ about an hour and a half from NYC.

Age?
Let's just say older than a lot of you.

Height?
5'10

Haircolor?
Dark Brown

Eye Color?
Light Brown

Do you have any tattoos or piercings? If so what and where? (Pics a plus)
I'm pretty conservative person, and in the end I don't think tattoos or piercings would look right on me, especially in my profession. But, if I had to get it, I'd get something like: Love, Honor and Loyalty written somewhere on my left shoulder.

Lefty or Righty?
I pretty much do everything right handed.

Do you have any siblings?
I have one older sister.

What is your current avatar and why?
Satele Shan

Possible daughter of Bastilla Shan and Darth Revan from Knights of the Old Republic. I chose it because it was a pretty cool intro to the new KOTOR game. The original KOTOR game is my favorite game I ever played.

How many posts do you have right now?
52,762

Post a picture of your handwriting:

What is your job? I am a Civil Engineer. What is a Civil Engineer? It has multiple fields like all professions. I specifically work with municipal engineering, which essentially handles drainage, roads, sidewalks, sometimes design, rehabilitations, etc. I also work a lot with land development where I take a parcel of land and develop it in accordance to an Applicant's wishes and the a Town's/County's State's specifications.

Do you have a car? What kind? (Pics a plus)

If you were a pro athlete, what would be your intro song?
Right now, I'm leaning towards Duel of the Fates.

what's your lucky number?
4 because it's the day I was born.

any superstitions?
I have a little OCD. I like even numbers. For instance yesterday, I put 4 slices of ham on my sandwich, 4 salami and 2 pieces of cheese. Maybe not necessarily superstitious but things I do.

What kind of cell phone do you have?

What's your default ringtone?
[YT]61vjrvcTCRU[/YT]
At about 1:20, Princess Leia's theme is referenced in the scene where they are escaping Cloud City. I really think it's a beautiful score.

What is the last movie you saw in theatres?
SuckerPunch. It was okay, the visual effects were stunning but the movie dragged at times. I liked the soundtrack. I think Emily Browning did some nice covers.

CC Asks Part II:
Congrats, you've been cast on MTV's the Real World! Which 6 Hype members would you pick to live in a house with you? Why?
You have to forgive me because I don't know who really posts here anymore. I guess I'd pick Spoons, Knowsbleed, ATP, CC, TOB and Anita?

Why, they are the only posters I know that still post here and that I've actively had discussions with. Maybe I need to talk to more people here.

Who is your Hype drunken duet partner?
Knowsbleed.

What will you sing?
Bebot from Black Eyed Peas.

Have you ever met anyone from the Hype in real life?
Formerly of the Hype. I met Babs Gordon and Maxwell's Demon in NJ once and I talked to Kipobe and Brodie Bruce on the phone during the course of our get together.

have you ever posted commando?
Possibly. My closet is right near one of our computers so I probably have done this at one time.

What brought you to the Hype?
I've told this story before but I was on the DC Messageboards and a poster and his love for Halle Berry's Catwoman, led me to follow him to SHH so I could ridicule him there.

What keeps you here?
Whenever there's a lull at work, it allows me to post here. I do miss the Wild West of yesteryear but I understand that times change and people leave, etc.

Link us to a thread you enjoy:
Return of the *Official* Relationship Thread

I know one day, one day, I will help someone.

What is your favorite Smiley?
Honestly, if posted a certain way can add a air of condescension to a question.

Least favorite?
Anything that's not an emoticon? I like symmetry. And the ones made from pics or what not just ruins the feng shui of the rest of the emoticons.

you're going on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, which member of the Hype would be your Phone-A -Friend?
Again, I don't know everyone who posts here. Isn't Kel a teacher? Maybe her.

Which two Hype Members would you like to compete against in Jepoardy?
ETM and Alex. I have no problems using an advantage over people.

Which two Mods?
I don't even know who are still mods and who still post here. I think right now it's CC, Fire and TOB, mostly because they openly post and participate in the forums that I do and contribute.

Hype Crush?
I don't think I've ever "crushed" on any woman here. There have been female posters that I've seen their pictures and found them attractive and would totally ether them if given the chance. But only after I bought them dinner.

Hype Nemesis?
Wouldn't a nemesis constitute them being my equal?

Take the opportunity now to clear up one misconception about you.
I am THIS arrogant.

What is your Hype Pet Peeve?
Let's just say over the past few years, the word overrated especially with fanboys and what they consider the end all be all of cinematic motion pictures could use a little humility.

What SHH event (that you not necessarily had to be a part in) has given you the most enjoyment?
I've hosted been part of Hottie's Tournaments, Multiple Survivors, Deathmatches, 15 Minutes, Hype Awards as a host/participant/winner but nothing has ever gave me as much satisfaction as the Ghostrider87 threads.

I met a Hooter's Waitress
I'm going to Barranquilla Colombia because I saw a special on E! featuring Sofia Vergara and she said that there are so many women there who look like her.
I'm going to give flowers, a card and a gift to a girl in my class for Valentine's Day. I've never talked to her directly nor do I know her name.

Marx Asks:

How technically savvy are you?

I can follow directions. I was in the process of fixing my old phone before I got the Thunderbolt and I needed an extra part but it was going to cost $100 and I figured just to get a new phone for $200. Most of the time I can figure out how to do things myself. I never do the Geek Squad thing. I set up my own TVs, computers. I use to hack my Verizon phones so I wouldn't have to pay for ringtones.

Do you own an ipod?

I got a hand me down U2 iPod back in 2005? It lasted about a month and I traded it in for the 5th Generation iPod 80 GB. Since then, I got an iPod Touch in 2008 and I still use both. The 1st iPod carries all my music and a lot of my TV shows, while the Touch carries some of my music and mostly movies. I use the latter for games, e-mail while I'm in front of the TV when I don't feel like going upstairs to go on the computer.

Are you interested in the new ipad?

We were discussing whether to get an iPad or a laptop. I think the consensus was that a laptop would be better for us as both of our computers are older and it'd be nice to have a laptop because it'd be more functional than an iPad.

Do you have a bluetooth headset for your cell phone?

As tech savy as I am, I'm low tech when it comes to my headset. I use a wired headset. I've had bluetooth headsets before but I always found myself not being able to connect or not being able to hear people. Maybe one day I'll get another one but I'm okay right now. Plus, it doesn't need to be charged.

Do you have a GPS navigation system?

I have had a Garmin for over 3 years. 90-95% of the time it takes me where I need to be. It got me around Puerto Rico. 2 Christmases ago I got a unlimited subscription so I've been able to update my maps and I pretty much got my money's worth. I have a GPS on my phone but I usually leave my GPS in the car.

Do you tweet?
I did for a second, but I don't think I know that many people that needs to know what I'm doing every second of the day.

What is your favorite Star Wars film?

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

The original KOTOR was a my most favorite game ever too . Several questions:

Where were you on the day [BLACKOUT]you found out you were Darth Revan? Describe that day[/BLACKOUT]

What was your reaction to it?

Darth Revan vs. Darth Vader. Who wins?

What was your reaction to the announcement of Star Wars: The Old Republic instead of KOTOR 3?

Do you feel the same now?

What do you think happened to Revan?

Hey Erz, can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?

If Boba Fett was supposed to be as awesome of a bounty hunter as he is claimed to be, why are the only things worthwhile he done are in the books and not the movies?

While the books are technically canon, do you look at them as they are? Or do you just look at them as over-glorified published fanfiction?

If you could go back in time to witness any historic event, what would it be?

 

[Erzengel]

Gotham Knight asks:

Where is your avatar from?
I'm not big into MMOs but I do like the cinema scenes from the new KOTOR and when the Troopers are getting their asses handed to them by the Sith and Satele Shan jumps down and takes out all of them. Even if you aren't a fan of video games, it is a really cool scene.

[YT]z0RuR3FREFw[/YT]

What is your favorite Star Wars film?
Easily the Empire Strikes Back. I'll be honest though, it wasn't always. When I was younger, it was Return of the Jedi. I had all the toys but as I grew up, I gained a new appreciation for it. I felt that Empire gave depth and character to everyone in the original movie. Plus add the Battle of Hoth, Yoda, and the big reveal at the end and how could you not love this movie. It set the standard to what sequels should be.

 

[Erzengel]

Parker Wayne asks:

The original KOTOR was a my most favorite game ever too . Several questions:

Where were you on the day [BLACKOUT]you found out you were Darth Revan? Describe that day[/BLACKOUT]
I was at my at the time gf's house. She purchased an Xbox for me to keep me occupied when I was waiting for her to get ready or sometimes wait for her to get home. (Think she eventually regretted that decision.)

What was your reaction to it?
So I heard about KOTOR and I picked it up. (I wasn't a big RPG fan at the time.) Then I remember just getting so involved in the story and just working my way up to finally putting together my lightsaber. I wasn't really use to games having stories like this (which btw is why I love Bioware and Mass Effect has become my favorite series), or use to reveals like this. I remember just being floored and I think I even told Erzette about it at the time because there was no one else around me and she feigned interest. But to this day, it's the biggest surprise I ever had in a video game and I think it rivals most movie reveals.

Darth Revan vs. Darth Vader. Who wins?
Ooooh. That's a tough one. I think in terms of power, Vader pre Mustafar was probably more powerful. I think his cybernetics hamper his ability especially with force lightning but I don't see Vader giving up and given Revan's short sidedness that allowed Malek to overtake it, I think he'd lower his guard somewhere allowing Vader to gain the upper hand. *geek*

What was your reaction to the announcement of Star Wars: The Old Republic instead of KOTOR 3?
Obviously KOTOR 2 wasn't anywhere near the 1st game. I have to admit I was still disappointed that they went with TOR. Mainly because, I'm not a big MMO fan. In fact, I really don't like doing multiplayer at all, unless it's a co-op game with a friend or I need the achievements. (Achievement ****e) So having to invest my time in a game where I'm constantly doing "quests" or whatever they do in TOR, well I'd never get ANYTHING done in the real world.

Do you feel the same now?
I still feel the same. I'm not in college anymore. I can't invest hours into any one video game. Sure I can break down a Mass Effect in 2 months playing leisurely but unless I become a millionaire which allows me to work part time, I don't see myself purchasing the game.

What do you think happened to Revan?
I guess it depends on you finished the 1st game. I did it both ways, light and dark side. If it's the latter, then you know he's ruling the galaxy with an iron fist. If it's the former, somewhere he got busy with Bastilla and had a daughter and is somewhere out there ready to return when a Sith presence appears.

 

[Erzengel]

Aesop Rocks asks:

You're on a desert island, you had to choose two people in your family to go with you.

You find a rescue boat, but they can only take two people.

WHO?

Well, it'd probably be Erzette and my sister and honestly, I'd let both of them have my place on the rescue boat and hope that one day someone would come back for me. And it's not the cop out response, I think deep down it's what I would do basically because I couldn't live with the guilt of leaving anyone behind if I could have helped it.

 

[Erzengel]

Lord Valumart asks:

Han Solo vs Indiana Jones, who wins and why?
This is like Sophie's Choice.

If I had to list my top 5 characters, they'd easily both be in my top 5. Possibly with Batman, House and Yoda. Both are pretty accurate with a blaster/gun. Both have been known to shoot first. (Yeah, yeah I know.) Both can throw a punch or 2, although Indiana has consistently thrown them through all 4 movies. I think I might have to give the slight edge to Indiana because he always takes a licking in each movie.

Who would you most like to be kidnapped by and then sold to in some kind of bizzare human market?
I don't know how much they'd get for me because I'm not "certified pure". I think I'd only "agree" to be kidnapped and sold in some kind of human market if it was run by Hollywood and the bidders were attractive female celebrities like Anne Hathaway, Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman.

What time is it where you are?
It is 7:40 AM EST.

If a smurf is three apples tall then how come they fit easily into one hand?
I don't have giant hands but there aren't small either. I think if they are all standing on my hand, probably around 5 or 6? But if I'm holding them, maybe only 2-3. I don't want to kill them by squeezing too hard.

What movie would you say is closest to your heart?
Aside from Empire Strikes Back which is my favorite? I'm not sure if I'm reading too much into your question, but something that's close and tugs at my heart is Wall-E. I didn't know what to really expect when I saw this movie, but for a movie with very little dialogue, it's really a touching and poignant movie.

Would you ever wear a wig?
Thankfully I have never needed to. But I guess for some sort of costume I would but with dashing hair like mine, why would you want to.

[Tron Bonne]

Did you create a female Shepard in ME2 purely to romance Garrus? If you didn't, would you now that the thought is up? If not, why not? Do you not love Garrus?

What's an addition(s) you want to see in ME3?

 

[Erzengel]

Aesop Rocks asks:

Hey Erz, can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?
Well I could really use a wish right now.

If Boba Fett was supposed to be as awesome of a bounty hunter as he is claimed to be, why are the only things worthwhile he done are in the books and not the movies?
I don't think Fett in Lucas's mind was suppose to take off the way he did. I really have to read my Making of the Empire Strikes Back book. He was just such a secondary character that just clicked with fans whether it was because of his mysteriousness or look. I think I remember somewhere that some people thought "he" was suppose to be the "another".

While the books are technically canon, do you look at them as they are? Or do you just look at them as over-glorified published fanfiction?
Lucas pretty much rewrote over everything in the books, so I would say it was over-glorified published fan fiction. Not that some of them aren't really good. Go read the Zahn Trilogy, Han Solo Correllian Trilogy, I, Jedi or DeathTroopers. I believe that Zahn made Owen Lars, Obi-Wan's brother which would have made a lot of sense.

 

[Erzengel]

Hound55 asks:

How many years did you study Love at Loveola Marymount before they gave you your doctorate, and do you consider Nell to be your greatest success?

I spent 4 years at Loveola Marymount Univeristy and received my Bachelor Degree in Love and another 4 years in graduate studies to receive my PHD in Loveology, which is why they call me Dr. Love.

My thesis "Maybe Feelings are Feelings because we feel them." was published in many prestigious magazines across the Country. You might have seen me on Dr. Phil, with my newest book, "Can I Borrow a Feeling".

Nell, unfortunately is my biggest success.

 

[Erzengel]

Kane52630 asks:

What happens if you get scared half to death twice?
Well I guess it depends on how far your life meter replenishes between the scares. If it's far enough, you will be able to survive. That's why I don't go to Celine Dion or Jonas Brothers concerts.

If you were going to shoot a mime, would you use a silencer?
I'd use a wooden board with a nail through it. It's my signature weapon.

If a word in the dictionary were mispelled, how would we know? The internet. Not only purveyors of porn, I recently found out.

Is there another word for synonym? That would be poecilonym.

Can vegetarians eat animal crackers? I think as long as the crackers aren't made from shortening or gelatin.

Do they sterilize the needles for lethal injections? I think they should use a dirty needle myself but most needles are prepackaged therefore new when they are administered.

Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?
Clowns aren't funny. They are in-human, fast moving monsters that must be put down when given any opportunity.

 

[Erzengel]

Byrd Man asks:

If you could go back in time to witness any historic event, what would it be?

Erzette's 18th birthday. Then try and have sex with her.

There are so many mysteries out there in history.

How did Meriwether Lewis die?
Who really killed MLK?
What happened to the city of Angkor.
Who killed Johnny Ringo?
What happened to Notre Chico in Peru

I watch specials and theories, but I'd really like to know what happened to these people and places.

I guess I would have to choose probably birth or death of Jesus.

Tron Bonne asks:

Did you create a female Shepard in ME2 purely to romance Garrus? If you didn't, would you now that the thought is up? If not, why not? Do you not love Garrus?
My female Shepards didn't swing that way. In one of my playthroughs I had Shepard romance Liara and when I transfered that save over to 2nd. I'd stayed true to Liara. I might go back and do another game and possibly have a different player in the 2nd game.

And I love Garrus, in my dreams, I want to bring him and Ashley with me towards the end of the 3rd game.

In all honestly, I just worry about a scaled penis would do to my Shepard's vagina.

What's an addition(s) you want to see in ME3?
I want loose ends tied up.

That girl Elnora shows up if you spared her in the 2nd game and Balak if you chose to spare him to save the hostages in the Bringing Down the Sky DLC.

I need closure for at least those 2 stories.

Oh and I want to punch out that reporter one more time.
