Ask a forumer anything...

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Since I have just over three years to go before I turn 21 for the first time, I don't know. I think I'd choose 1969, though. I could be there at Woodstock and then see the rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust as it happens. 

Which city in the world would you like to visit the most?

[_Michael 2,681]

Somewhere in Scandiavia. Stockholm, or Copenhagen probably.

What continetents have you visited?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

I live in North America and I've visited Japan, although that's technically not Asia the same way that Britain is not Europe.

 

Do you like musicals?  Why or why not?

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Not really. I think those flamboyant music numbers just make it all less believable of a story. 

If you were to be in a beach assault, what vehicle would you choose to do it in?

[Delta 88 262]

Thin White Duke, I thought you were even older than me!  You seem more mature than your age.

A beach assault? Well those cool Baja Bugs are a popular choice down this way....probably one of those.

How many romantic relationships have you been involved in?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Several, but only one for the past... 14 years.  It's been a wild ride that's certain to get no less wild in the future.  Thank the gods we've found each other.

 

What was your first car?  What kind of car did you want for your first car?  Why?  If you can't drive yet, what are you looking foward to piloting through your hometown's mean streets?  Why?

[TakemeThere 5,833]

What I wanted, a brand new Celica. What I got... a broken down 10 year old Mercury Topaz  
Been driving for a while but before I started the thing that I wanted to do most was rip down the local highway at maximum speed, yeah pretty much the same as most adolescence males.

Just how devastated would it be to you if an EMP(natural or man-made) wiped out all your personal electronic data eg. all your game(and SC4 saves!), music files, personal photo's, social media accounts, essentially every piece of information you've ever complied. And what do you think you would do in your spare time afterwards?


 

[metarvo 710]

Even what I have on my external hard drives?    I've actually thought about this kind of thing before.  I'd quite possibly cry.  It's somewhat frightening, but I suppose I would begin to spend my spare time sleeping, reading books (that is still a thing, isn't it?), or watching nature outside.

If you're in the northern hemisphere, what do you look forward to most about fall which is fast approaching?  If you're in the southern hemisphere instead, then what are you anticipating about spring?

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Fall(ing) leaves I guess?

Have you ever embarrassed yourself in public :/

[Themistokles 134]

Too many times...  I was an awkward child. But most of the times no one finds it as awkward as oneself.

Do you go to conferences abroad? If you do, what do you like the most/the least about them? If you haven't, does the concept feel interesting to you? 

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Nope!  But I spent most of my professional life abroad. I miss it, I want to go back.

 

What would be your ideal foreign country to live in?  Why?

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

The US, I guess. That or Singapore are the only two countries I want to live in at all.

Favorite beverage?

[_Michael 2,681]

Hot chocolate - even in the summer?

What is your ideal city to live in, in the country you currently live in, apart from the city/town where you currently reside?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Marquette, MI, a tiny college town 3 hours in any direction from an interstate highway, isolated by itself in Michigan's beautiful Upper Peninsula, a heaven of outdoor sports and stunning clear night skies.  We're making moves to get ourselves up there now.  We'll see how it goes.  Otherwise, if I didn't have kids, Osaka would be near the top of my list, and with my family any coastal Japanese town like Ito in Shizuoka would be a far preferable living situation to what we have now.

 

Do you play any sports?  Please tell us about it.  If not, why not?

[JP Schriefer 5,590]

I play football - or soccer - every Thursday and Saturday/Sunday. Thursdays for training and Saturdays/Sundays for championship at the university.

Why a butterfly is not a butter that flies?

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

It would propably get toasted when exposed to sun.

Your current haircut?

[raynev1 1,886]

Short , very short .

Do you use LotEditor ?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

No, I don't have the patience or time to use it as well as it needs to be used.

 

What are you watching on TV these days?  If nothing, why not?

[Delta 88 262]

I don't watch TV and I haven't in years - not necessarily because of the programming, but because of the absolutely intolerable commercials. They just drive me insane. I do download TV shows and programs recommended by others, though. Lately I've been watching old episodes of CHiPs (1977-1983), House of Cards, Better Call Saul, and Game of Thrones. Right now I'm watching Bob's Burgers - it's hilarious.

Why can't I go 5 minutes without thinking about cars?

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Because you are a car.

Your favourite super hero 

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Mermaidman. The only superhero I can think of that was voiced by Ernest Borgnine.

Would you like a hat like mine?

 

[raynev1 1,886]

Nah , I don't think it would fit my persona .

Would you wear snakeskin boots ?

[airman15 4,111]

If it's for an event where I can get away with blue jeans then yes!

Do you have a collection of belt buckles?

[MushyMushy 3,617]

Nope. Actually, I only have a single belt and it has a very basic belt buckle.

What are your top three favorite video game genres?

[raynev1 1,886]

1. City builder , like SC4 of course . 2. Racing games , like NFS World . I wish EA hadn't pulled the plug on it . 3. RPG , though I don't play them anymore . In other words SC4 SC4 SC4 That's really it for me . 

What is your favorite holiday ?

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Christmas. Americans are better at celebrating it than Swedes, though.

What is the tallest building you've ever been in?

[Themistokles 134]

Empire State Building, I think.

Favourite kind of tree?

[airman15 4,111]

The mighty Redwood! As long as I'm not responsible for picking up fallen needles from one in the yard.

What is your favorite city? Do you visit there regularly?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Marquette, MI, a beautiful little gem on the coast of Lake Superior.  I'm actually heading up there next weekend to see about a job.  I may have inadvertently landed myself a career.  Of course, if that fails I'm moving back to Japan in which case any small, coastal city would be my favorite.

 

What do you think about paying a monthly fee to have control of certain functions of your car on your "smart" phone?

[raynev1 1,886]

    First , good luck with that job lead . And to answer the question ... Are you serious ? My opinion is , I don't think it is a "smart" idea . May lead to unexpected issues at an unfortunate time . I wouldn't do it . But that's my opinion .

Do you think all of the available electronic devices associated with driving is a good idea ?
