Ask a forumer anything...

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

There's a road in the mountains here between Ito and Izu-no-Kuni, about five minutes from my current home.  It's narrow, winding, exhilarating, and TERRIFYING.  There are so many terrifying roads in Japan with blind corners and they're all one lane, it's just awful.  It would be so much fun if they were just wider, like a normal two-lane road.  But nope.  They're just narrow, winding, awesome, terrifying, ONE LANE roads.  Route 112 I believe is the name of the wannabe rally special stage.

 

Are you a Metallica fan?  Why or why not?

[Terring 6,473]

No, but I used to listen them some years ago. My favorite songs are "Enter Sandman" and "Nothing Else Matters". I love electronic music, but I'd rather listen heavy metal than bad pop.

Who's your least favorite YouTuber?

[airman15 4,111]

Anyone who leaves incoherent, extremely biased, and otherwise moronic comments, how about that?

 

What is your favorite website and why?

[RipRap 4,400]

I do not know at this moment, but it's between ST and the University Website.

 

Do you watch Vine(s)?

[JP Schriefer 5,590]

Yes, I love vines! 

 

Are you religious?

[Mr Saturn64 742]

Yes. I also live In a city with allegedly 800+ churches.

What's the best or worst food of your locale?

[Terring 6,473]

Souvlaki for the best food, musaka for the worst one.

Have you ever played Spore?

[MandelSoft 2,769]

Yes. It was fun, but it became a bit repetitive in the end. Haven't re-installed it since my hard drive got wiped out back in January 2012...

Ever left your continent?

[TekindusT 3,809]

Yes, when I went to the USA.

 

Why did the chicken cross the road?

[The Pennsylvania Turnpike 252]

to go to KFC

 

Are you procrastinating with studying for exams?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

No.  I'm a teacher, so no exams for me.

 

What's your dream job?  Why?

[Mr Saturn64 742]

An architect.  I love architecture and I believe that architecture gives a place its feel.  And it is a nice job for introverts.

 

What's the weirdest (appropriate) e-mail you ever received?

[Terring 6,473]

An advise based on a video game

 

What's your favorite kind of dance?

[TekindusT 3,809]

Getting beer at the club bar counts as dancing?

 

Do you play Rail Simulator?

[airman15 4,111]

I used to play Train Simulator, but I usually got bored with it and ended up derailing after going full throttle. I know I still have the disks somewhere..

 

Do you play air combat games? If so, which ones?

[UndercoverNinja12 176]

I used to play Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII on the Wii, but then my Wii broke. D: I have a couple on my tablet too, but they aren't as fun.

 

Are you a history buff?

[Ganaram Inukshuk 906]

I tend to explore how history went about by exploring how history would have been if it went a different direction, though I can't really call myself a history buff...

Favourite non-SC4/SC2013 mod?

[timmie 988]

It's the only game I have mods for. Maybe I had a mod installed with Railroad Tycoon 3, but I'm not sure.

Have you played Railroad Tycoon?

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

Yes. I love it, especially the second one.

Do you play any FIFA console games?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Nope.  I played NCAA Football and Madden NFL for various Playstations over the years, though.  Console gaming is now behind me.  At least until my kids grow up and beg for one (please God please don't let that happen).

 

Do you have kids?  If not, do you want any?  You got names you like for a boy?  A girl?

[timmie 988]

I'm 21, so a bit early. Also, being gay, it's not really easy to procreate. I can live with it, not having children also has advantages. Milan is a nice name for a boy. Or Mirek (a Czech name). I don't really know any names for girls I really really like though. Icelandic names are generally nice (they have a beautiful sound), but you'd be mad to give your child an Icelandic name in a country like Belgium, poor child.

 

Most scary: big spiders or killer wasps?

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

At least adoption is still an option for you Timmie :3

Wasps. Even though we have some scary spiders here, European wasps still freak me out.

Use Urbanspoon?

[Duke87 1,070]

Never heard of it prior to you mentioning it here, so clearly no.

 

Do you own a camera that is not affixed to some other device (i.e. is just a camera)?

[Ganaram Inukshuk 906]

Yeah, but it's the kind for taking photos, not videos. Plus, the battery drains too fast.

What was the last song you cried to?

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

I still cry when I hear Grace Kelly by Mika. It was played at my best friends funeral.

How big is your music collection?

[JP Schriefer 5,590]

My condolences, ROFLyoshi =/ it's not easy

 

I use to take not just a music I like, but the album of that song, so I have a big music collection..don't know, probably +5000

 

 

What is your favourite band?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Here in Japan it would be Shiina Ringo or her band (that broke up a year ago) Tokyo Jihen.  I think she's amazingly talented, and her (and their) music is interesting and unique in a good way.  Worldwide, I like Led Zeppelin the most, with Incubus coming in a distant second.  Once upon a time, I was a regular poster over at the enjoyincubus.com forums, but then I went to college and it didn't fit my schedule.  New Found Glory I also find enjoyable.

 

Do you post at any other forums on the internet?  Why or why not?

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

Never heard of it prior to you mentioning it here, so clearly no.

Oh wow, a New Yorker who hasn't heard of Urbanspoon. Take it you don't dine out often

Simtropolis is my go to. I rarely frequent sites that are of the forum format, save for Whirlpool.

Favourite restaurant ever? Tell me about it.

Oh wow,

[mrbisonm 1,620]

My favourite restaurant (family country resto) is about a 10 minute drive from my home, totally out in the country and fantstic meals that one can only dream off. We (my wife (lynncanox)and I) go there every friday night, no exception.

 

Do you unknowingly collect dust? Tell us about it.

 

Fred

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

I do try to sweep it up every day, so I don't think I'm collecting it.  Most of it gets buried under the crumbs my kids drop all over the place, which is what necessitates the daily sweeping.  They're very small, so this is a major problem for us still.  Perhaps within a year or so things will be kept a might bit cleaner than they are right now.

 

When do you have to take out the garbage?  Whose job is that in your house?
