Hi everyone.
I've been a lurker for quite a while, and have finally found the courage to
sign up and hopefully join in a bit from time to time. I figure the best way to start is to tell everyone else a it about myself. So here goes (deep breath);
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A BOARD MEMBER?
err.... about 5 minutes.
(15 minutes now I've typed all this.)
WHAT'S YOUR REAL FIRST NAME?
Adrian.
GOT ANY ANIMALS?
My family has a Rabbit, so when I'm at home I get to look after him sometimes.
He's half blind and has no front teeth - but is still one of the most happy people/animals I know.
APARTMENT, HOUSE, HIGHRISE OR TOWNHOUSE?
House x2 - Student.
ARE YOU RELIGIOUS?
Like a lot of people - sort of. I think I basically have Christian values (except when playing BG2), and see them as a good way to lead life. But I'm not heavily into it. I also think everyone should be allowed to have there own view - and not suffer because of it. I hate the idea that people have to die because they believe something else, it doesn't make sense.
Higher being: maybe - I prefer the idea of a force of nature keeping things on the right tracks
BALL POINTS OR FELT TIPS?
Hmmm, tricky one, I'll come back to it.
WHY DO YOU PLAY RPGS?
Escapism - I can be someone I'd never be, doing things I'll could never do. I also need to get away from real life sometimes.
Besides it's healthy for me to be up at 4 or 5am playing when I have a lecture first thing in the morning.
WHAT CAR/TRUCK DO YOU DRIVE?
Can drive, but I don't have a car, and don't really want one either.
DO YOU CLICK ON ZIROC'S SPONSOR'S ADS?
Don't normally (anywhere), but I will when I remember.
WHAT KIND OF WORK DO YOU DO (OCCUPATION)?
Chemistry student - it's hard work, whatever anyone says
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE TYPE OF MUSIC (COUNTRY, ROCK, POP, BLUES, CLASSICAL, ETC.)?
I will listen to most things, the big exception being 'disposable pop'. I do have favs though, at the minute Sigur Ros, Belle & Sebastian and Sparklehorse + loads of others
HOW MANY BROTHERS AND SISTERS?
1 younger sister.
WHICH IS BETTER, MOUNTAINS OR BEACHES?
Moutains - for some reason I always feel good there
There's also more to do.
IF YOU WENT ON "SURVIVOR," WHAT LUXURY ITEM WOULD YOU CHOOSE?
CD player and CD collection.
CHIPS OR DORITOS?
I'm trying to be healthy at the minute, so neither.
WHAT WAS YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE (DREAMING KIND)?
I don't often remember dreams. I think I must have bad ones, because I wake up sweeting sometimes.
WHAT DO YOUR FAMILY/FRIENDS THINK OF YOU SPENDING TIME ON THIS BOARD?
Don't really know - people get annoyed they can use the phone though.
WHAT'S YOUR TOP 3 FAVORITE GAMES OF THE PAST 2 YEARS? BG2/BG (I've almost failed 2 sets of exams because of these 2), The Grim Fandango (short but sweat), Half-Life (stress relief). (I tried to pick 3 different types).
DEATH PENALTY OR NOT?
Maybe but only in extreme cases, and no there's no doubt. However, I think it was Eddie Izzard that pointed out that if you kill 1, or 2, or however many people you will be sent to prison (or whatever the punishment is). If you kill 10,000 people you get put under house arrest and are looked after night and day.
ARE YOU PLANNING ON STICKING AROUND ON THIS BOARD?
Yes, of course - I only just got here.
(Ps - this is my first post so go easy. )
