Where do you see yourself and what do you see yourself doing 10 years from now?
I'd like to be working and living in NYC. I have a bachelor's in Information Science and in my last semester for my MLIS. So I'll be doing stuff with information/data management. In my personal life, I'd hope to be in a relationship.
I'd rather not say.
Who do you feel closest to here on the Hype?
cyborgninja (even though he hasn't been around here for awhile) since we've talked outside of the Hype for several years now.
If you were to meet any Hypester in real life, who would it be and what would you do?
I don't know. There are a lot of cool people here that I'd probably enjoy hanging out with. I'll say hippie_hunter since I think we're in agreement on a lot of things.
Where is home for you? Where would you like home to be?
Right now, it's my parent's house where I've lived for the last 15 years now. I started grad school immediately after undergrad, so I had no income and it was hard to pass up no rent, central A/C, high-speed internet, and DirecTV.
I'd like to move to NYC in the future since a lot of my friends are there even though it's expensive and I'd want to make sure I'm not screwing myself financially in the future.
You skipped my questions, I thought you will answer them after the other two
Sorry about that, I just jumped to Erz's post.
List a few of your favorite superheroes. Up to 15
Batman, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Hulk, Wolverine, Catwoman, Nightwing, Thor, Hellboy.
For villains: Joker, Lex Luthor, Magneto, Green Goblin, Lizard, Doc Ock.
Is Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon deserving of being despised?
I tried watching an episode and couldn't stand it. It has pretty good animation, I don't mind Drake Bell as Spider-Man, but the forced Family Guy humor and friends he has just ruin it for me.
What is the greatest game you played on each system? And how do you rank them?
NES: Super Mario Bros. 3, to be honest, I have an NES but was never a huge fan of any of the games on it. I find a lot of them to be too difficult. I don't mind difficult, but I feel games were made that way to prevent people from beating them to quickly and saving wasn't a real option.
Genesis: Sonic 3+Knucks. 2 games in 1, Sonic 3 was the best in the series and Knuckles is the most fun to play.
SNES: Super Mario World. My favorite Mario game, I think it's better than SMB3. Honorable mention to Chrono Trigger.
Game Boy/Color: Pokemon Silver.
N64: Banjo-Tooie. My favorite platformer, love it more than Mario 64. Also, Star Fox 64, few games from that generation aged well but that one did.
PS1: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (even though I got it off the PSN)
PS2: Kingdom Hearts 2, gameplay improved even though the story became incoherent.
Xbox: KOTOR, my favorite Star Wars game, the best Star Wars game, the best Star Wars story outside of the OT, one of the best video game plots, and one of the best plot twists ever.
GBA: Metroid: Zero Mission, much needed re-release/upgrade of the original Metroid.
Gamecube: Wind Waker, very underrated Zelda game. I'd replay it more if it weren't for the Triforce quest in the middle that's a chore.
Xbox 360: Crackdown, just a whole lot of fun.
PS3: Uncharted 2, great action and story. Honorable mention to Infamous 2 because I loved the ending.
Wii: Resident Evil 4, came out for GC/PS2 but a lot more enjoyable with the Wiimote. Great survival horror game, I wish the rest of the series was like that.
DS: Pokemon SoulSilver, best of the franchise. So many DS games that I'm probably forgetting something I liked more though.
3DS: Ocarina of Time, I have a 3DS and games but I just don't play handhelds that much
WiiU: Can I say Pikmin 3 even though it's not out yet and I don't have it?
PC: I've become almost exclusively a PC gamer since I built a solid rig, so there's a lot for me to choose from. I'll say Skyrim because of all the mods that have come out.
List some movies you wish to see. Limit is 30
The Good, the Bad, the Ugly (currently on my desk from Netflix), Pulp Fiction,
Name a game you like, but most people hate it
Metroid: Other M is the only game I can think of. I liked it, thought it was pretty good, but it got so much unwarranted hatred just because they gave Samus inner thoughts, emotions, and tried to twist it to be some misogynistic interpretation of the character.
What's the source of your avatar?
It's from Game of Thrones (HBO series), it's the personal sigil of Stannis Baratheon. His family (Baratheon) sigil is a stag, and the symbol of the god he worships is a red heart so the two are combined. He's one of my favorite characters in the books (hasn't been done justice in the show though).
Futurama or the Simpsons? Which show is more fun?
Definitely Futurama, it was more edgy than The Simpsons. It's made me laugh harder than any show as well as cry more than any other show (Jurassic Bark).
What classic movie do you think could benefit from a great remake?
Dracula, I'd love to see a version similar to the 1931 version. My fantasy cast would be Jason Issacs as Dracula and Liam Neeson as Dr. Van Helsing.
Do you like motorbikes or cars more?
Cars, motorcycles are dangerous though I would like to ride
What do you think of the Butterfly Effect?
Seems farfetched and unlikely.
