Why did you number this #2 when it's actually #3?

Coke or Pepsi and why?

Favourite console ever?

What's your favourite food?

What are you doing at the moment in your life? (i.e. uni, work etc.)

1. Because I got lazy and didn't type the thread title... copied and pasted with modifications, forgot about the numbering..

2. Coke, just used to drink it.

3. PC (if that doesn't count, GCN)

4. Hmm, tough one.. Chicken Schnitzel I guess..

5. Second Year Bachelor of Science in IT, Diploma in IT Professional Practice at UTS, planning to add the Bachelor of International Studies on top of this as well. Work stuff = looking for one. Relationship = looking too.

1. Can you see yourself attending more podcasts? Did you like it?

2. Best day of your life?

3. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?

4. You find $10,000 - what do you spend it on?

5. You are given a time machine and can only travel once with no return and carry only your basic lugggage. What year do you go to and why?

1. Sure can, it's good fun :)

2. Hmm, tough choice... Finding out that I made it into Uni, Year 12 Graduation or Being involved in the Evolution podcast... ;)

3. Here, it's home, my family is here, isn't anything I would really want to change with location.

4. Laptop + New Computer + Consoles + Games..

5. I go to now, use the machine to not move forward at any time, because I don't really want to change things as they are.

What made us 'click' and become the brothers that we are?

Does that question sound suss to you? ;)

Why am I really bored of the internet at the moment and not motivated to do anything on it?

Why does life suck at the moment?

Why haven't we met? :P

1. We've talked to each other a lot...

2. No, did my reply seem sus >_>

3. Because you're addicted to Forza / GoW

4. Because you haven't met me..

5. Canberra is too far away :P

Why "thebigm"?

Are you a fan of big M milkshakes?

Favourite takeaway food? Only one pick too.

1. Long story:

It was pre 2000 basically, my name is Michael, I am / was a fairly big person, and it all fitted together, thus thebigm.

2. They're just like any other bottled milk variety, I'll drink.

3. Chinese.

1. If you could be the real life version of an anime character, who would you be, and why. If by some chance that you're a gamer who doesn't like anime (wtf?????), just pick another famous cartoon character.

2. Other than interface and graphics, why do you choose to game on the PC?

3. What kind of laptop would you purchase with that share of $10,000? All out grunt of a Dell XPS? Or the general smugness of the Apple owning community?

4. Seeing as you're job hunting, what would be the dream job (that relates to your studies... i'm not talking about "nipple tweaker for Kate Hudson" or something equally esoteric)

5. I used this before... but you are granted the ability to go anywhere in the universe without the constraints of reality (ie breathing etc). Where would you go?

1. Difficult, but either Spike Spiegel... hmm maybe not... Vash the Stampede ;)

2. I grew up with, used to customising and like the control interface.

3. Mac Book Pro ;)

4. Game Designer, and I'm working (studying) to get to that position.

5. Tricky, but probably the moon.

1. Did I (or did slashy) sound how you expected on the Podcast? In fact does anyone of whom you hear their voice for the first time, sound like how you would have thought?

2. Favourite game / movie?

3. Since you want to get into game development (I think thats right?) what would be your dream game you'd want to create?

4. Are you suprised Nismo passed this on? :P

1. Somewhat different, in that I didn't have expectations for either of you, but Slashy's accent suprised me :)

2. Movie: Matrix, Game: varies i guess between Zelda:MM, Metroid Prime, RE4, Hl2.

3. If I told you the exact concept ... lets just say one I have in my dreams at the moment is a puzzle game.

4. Not really, I sorta expected it to be honest..

Question: Considering all of the re-makes Square Enix's older Final Fantasy games have been getting, do you think that a re-make of Final Fantasy VII is inevitable?

Do Square want money? (Yes) If you wanted me to put a platform as to which it would be on, I would say that it wouldn't be for the PS3 or 360 simply due to the cost of the project.

1. What game that will be out by the beginning of 2008 are you looking forward to the most?

2. What is your favorite television program?

3. What is your favorite band?

4. Which would you pick: money or power?

5. What is the best game you have ever played?

Hmm... i'm considering the same thing, although it's a difficult choice when the Dell XPS 17 inch is the same price.

IN the spirit of asking further questions, is there any particular developer you'd wish to work for, or are you willing to forge out on your own?

I have an accent? :huh: Depending on how I talk, some people mistake me for british. I'm actually 100% australian but most people don't believe me. Maybe its from watching too many BBC shows

You've led a pretty dull life then huh? :lol:

What are you talking about slashy!?

Being on the podcast is a huge honour damnit!!

Oh and you do have a bit of an accent ;)

1. Super Smash Brothers Brawl... Bioshock

2. Non anime: Heroes/Top Gear

3. Linkin Park.

4. Money

5. See previous reply with favourite :)

1. So does sound british :P

2. One of those three don't fit :P

Surprisingly, it's not gaming that is keeping me away from the forums/the internet as a whole. I've actually found myself playing them more to try and occupy myself since half the time I can't be bothered coming online. I dunno why, as I've said before, but yeah I'm just not enjoying the online world too much at the moment. I guess I need to find a new website or three to randomly waste time on that isn't Youtube or something similar.

And for the record no I'm not going to start using Myspace. *shudder*

I'm a gamer who doesn't like Anime.

Okay that's not true, I just haven't ever allowed myself the chance to get into it. Purely because I have no idea where to start other than the Initial D series, which I watch for obvious reasons...

1. Are you surprised Mekky that Borg is still on about this? :P

2. Do you think we'll ever get around to meeting?

3. Should I wait for the seasons to be released on DVD before I watch the last episode of Heroes, and the 5 episodes of LOST that I missed when they were on air?

4. Or should I just bite the bullet and, well, you know...

Oh, sorry, I was trying my best to look through all of the questions to make sure I didn't ask one that was already answered. :(

Er...favorite restaurant?

then you, sir, are an anomaly and must be captured so that we may study you to gather information that may lead us to believe that you are the next step of human evolution.

Although I must confess to having not watched anime for years now.

Anyway... back to the questions. My earlier one still stands

Which developer would you work for? Or would you start your own company?

I think that you'll find there is a lot of gamers that aren't really into anime Andy, suprising as that may be :P

Any brothers or sisters? What are they like?

If you were one of the Power Rangers, which one would you be?

Steven Spielberg: destroyer of the movie industry or extremely talented director?

1. Yes

2. Yes

3. Yes

4. Yes

Don't actually eat any specific restaurant... and where I do I can't remember their names.

I always wanted to work for Nintendo..

1 Older brother, 12 years older then me. Insert generic fights with older brother story :)

Red :D

I haven't hated his movies, but didn't think they were the best ever either.

Which would you rather, $10 million or, a real working Lightsaber that didn't ever need repairing?

Star... Trek, Wars or Gate?

1. Damn, that's a tough one. Whilst the lightsaber would be ultra cool and I could probably sell it for a lot of money anyway once I get bored of the effect... the fame and all that would be unnecessary, so the 10 million would be nice.

2. Star Wars.

Hottest celeb alive today?

Have you ever taken part in the 40 hour famine? If not do you think you could make it?

Hmm... Either Jessica Alba, Charlize Theron or Scarlett Johansson :)

I haven't taken part in it. If I were to it is possible that I would survive, I do happen to have a lot of umm.. reserves.

Best PC game of the year 200 - Giants: Citizen Kabuto, Sacrifice or American McGee's Alice?

CHOOSE - Playing all games with a digital control pad for the rest of your life, or having your monitor permanently locked to 800x600?

Is it really worth spending $100+ on a single peripheral? If yes, justify in a manner that makes reference to at least two monty python sketches.

I currently have a purple paper bag on my desk - it is A4 size, lays flat and bulges slightly in the middle. What is inside it?

Apple Ipods - bug ridden or music hardware par excellence'?

Will EVO forums ever suffer the wrath of Nintendo's fabled legal hammer, wakening the sleeping tiger with this blatant stab in the face of intellectual property laws? :luigidance1:

1. Year 200, damn that was a long time ago :P Sadly I've only played a small demo / watched footage of each, but I guess on that limited knowledge I'd go Giants.

2. 800x600 as long as the refresh rate is 85hz +

3. Yes, or should I say ni? But that would involve a Spanish Inquisition, so you'll have to make do with a yes

4. Daringly, a pink paper bag?

5. Get what you pay for. ;)

6. No.

The only one of those games I've heard of is American Mcgee's Alice, and that looked wicked awesome. :o

Hmmm...half full or half empty?

1. Would you sacrifice...say...your job (which carries a massive salary), for the girl of your dreams?

2. Would you share a romantic moment with Estapol? :P

3. If your best friend was getting married to the girl of your absolute dreams, would you object (by screaming 'NOOOOOOOOOOO!') at the beginning of the ceremony?

4. Plane or train?

5. SHOCK HORROR AWKWARD QUESTION - Would you leave Evo for the girl of your dreams? Hmmm? HMMMMM?

G'luck. :P :D

I'm going to ask you a series of "would you rather" questions. Prepare for wincing.

1. Would you rather walk in on your parents or have your parents walk in on you?

2. Would you rather to live the rest of your life only smelling onions or have "copacabana" playing directly to your brain forever?

3. Would you rather have 3 amazing Christmas presents of 10 mediocre ones?

4. Would you rather have sex with Jessica Alba on a bed of nails or Fergie on a bed of roses?

5. Would you rather sweat cheese or puke marbles?

1. medium.

1. Yes

2. Umm... sure...

3. no

4. Train, hardly been on many flights, safer being on the ground too..

5. Yes :P

1. Doesn't matter. Nothing to embarrassed about :P

2. Onions, deodorant ftw.

3. 3 amazing.

4. Jessica Alba.

5. Puke marbles, seeing as I don't puke much.

Good answer! I like that!

Ninja or Pirate?
