I never ended up making one of these back in the day so I figured I'll get one started now. If you have any questions, ask away!
-
Who is your favorite LBT character and why? Also, I'd like to know what are your favorite films besides LBT?
-
How did you first get into Land Before Time?
-
Thanks for the question! Favorite character...hmm.
Littlefoot was my favorite hands down way back in the day though it was usually because I always like the leader type character the most in shows (red ranger in the original power rangers, cyclops in the 90s X-men cartoon). Him being the main focus of the first movie especially helped as I find it easier to get attached to a character when you experience everything they go through first hand.
Chomper was the next character that I really liked. I think I really liked the idea of a supposed by guy was good. He was also purple and I liked purple haha. I also like his personality and how he is profoundly nice. One of may favorite parts of the TV series is everyone being so afraid of him despite how kind or nice he is.
I used to pretty much hate Cera as a kid due to her attitude. I think her being mad made me like Littlefoot even more with his more cool headed rationale in response to Cera's outbursts. I've come to like Cera a lot more now that can better understand her situation. Going from her indoctrinated superiority upbringing and traveling by herself to following the gang to survive to fully becoming their friends makes her the most dynamic out of all the characters in the first movie in my opinion. I do like how when they find the fake valley she brags, saying "I found it!" to saying "Littlefoot, you found it" for the Great Valley. I also like her development focused parts in the sequels. I feel like her part in 12 far outshines Petrie's even though it seems he was supposed to be the main focus.
I really like Ruby's character design. Part of it is just because shes a raptor but I also think her feathers make her more unique as well.
Spike's a hard pass. He's the static "always has to eat character". He's the best version of this character archetype that I know of though since him not talking means we don't have to listen to him complain about being hungry. That's a plus I guess.
Ducky and Petrie I've never really felt to strongly towards one way or another. Petrie's just comedic relief to me so I've never given him much thought. I'm not sure why I've never really bothered with Ducky. It could be because it was my mom's and my friend's favorite character back in the day and out of some weird sense of requiring variety, ignored her.
I guess since my username is Flathead that can be the deciding factor for an overall favorite :lol
--------------
As for favorite movies other than LBT, I'm honestly not too sure as well. I've never been too much of a movie person and LBT is the only ones where I have watched them multiple times in recent history. As a kid I used to watch GoldenEye all the time and thought James Bond was pretty cool. I also watched Dragonheart a lot as kid as well.
(As a random note. One day in grade 6 I was talking to my friend about why James Bond is agent double-o-seven. Why not double-seven-o? That conversation ended up being the reason for my number choice in my usernames.)
If I had to think of a movie that I really like and still watch somewhat frequently would be...The Fifth Element. Kinda out of nowhere and completely random, like the movie in many regards.
-
Decided to bump random Ask me thread...
@Flathead: Please, tell us how you see good version of prequel movie to events of LBT TV series in your head! :P
How did Chomper escape island?
Where is his parents?
How did Chomper and Ruby met?
Why Redclaw is so terrify so group of Mysterious Beyond residents came with plan to use Chomper (with Ruby's help) to learn life of Great Valley residents, and somehow defend themselves from this sharptooth?
Why did Ruby's family not go to the valley, when they had two baby hatchlings?
-
Hmmm so that's some interesting questons. Let's see.
How did Chomper escape island?
Chomper escaping the island could probably be easily enough explained with Elsie. Chomper's parents on the other hand...I don't know how they would ever escape.
Where is his parents?
Like I said, I can't imagine a way for them getting off the island but I honestly wouldn't even care if they were just somehow not on the island with no explanation.
Why Redclaw is so terrify so group of Mysterious Beyond residents came with plan to use Chomper (with Ruby's help) to learn life of Great Valley residents, and somehow defend themselves from this sharptooth?
I'm not so sure it was a whole group decision that came up with the idea. Since the plan is to observe and find out how Great Valley dinosaurs work together then I imagine that most groups and herds are isolated and separated from each other. Larger herds like Bron's or other farwalkers that have visited the Great Valley are not likely targets for Red Claw due to their large sizes so they are not likely bothered enough to care.
So what you end up with is a lot of smaller groups like Ruby's that don't know how to deal with him and his unorthodox method of hunting with Screech and Thud. I'm pretty sure that this idea originated with Chomper with having experience with teamwork with different species through the gang.
How did Chomper and Ruby met?
I feel like Chomper would have to somehow get separated from his parents for his initial meeting with Ruby. Maybe Ruby does something to save Chomper since we know his parents become fairly accepting when that happens. Red Claw could be the initial cause which would lead to Chomper's idea as well.
Why did Ruby's family not go to the valley, when they had two baby hatchlings?
Probably because they're oviraptors and they feel like they wouldn't be accepted into the Valley, especially a whole family of them. With just Ruby along with Chomper there might be enough leeway given for them to live in the Valley and with the apparent importance of Chomper learning how the Great Valley residents get along.
Please, tell us how you see good version of prequel movie to events of LBT TV series in your head! :P
So a sort of breakdown of events based on the questions above:
-Chomper and his parents get attacked by Red Claw, Chomper gets separated.
-Chomper meets Ruby and her family
-Ruby and her parents tells Chomper about Red Claw's uprising after Chomper describes what happens
-At some point Chomper reunties with his parents, he tells them of his plan and they agree to it and let Ruby go with him
-Exit Chomper's parents for reasons? :p
-Ruby's starday/ Ruby and Chomper head towards Great Valley
-Maybe throw in some sort of escape from Red Claw on way to Great Valley to serve as a climax.
Honestly, I feel the most important parts could be done well enough within an episode duration and wouldn't need a whole movie dedicated to it.
Maybe I'll do my fanart prompt based on something here. That might be fun to do. Thanks for the question and for the potential idea. :DD
-
Thank you for answers! :D
Tell honestly: do you have strong imagination, and did you play huge LBT story, like this one, in your mind somewhere somewhen? ;) Like you're watching cartoon TV in your imagination.
-
Thank you for answers!
Thank you for the question
I never considered myself as overly imaginative and I haven't had any LBT stories play out in my head for a long time. All of these points are things I don't really think about and was thought out over the course of watching 3 hour speedrun of Mario Sunshine for Awesome Games Done Quick.
-
What is your favourite non-LBT animated film?
-
Do you play anything? Soccer, football, tennis? :)
-
Do you play anything? Soccer, football, tennis? :)
Hmm not really haha. Never been huge into the sports scene. I've never enjoyed the more competitive things in general as it seems to bring out the worst attitudes, at least with my experience.
Same thing applies with video games for me, which is why I like to focus more on single player and coop games.
What is your favourite non-LBT animated film?
I've honestly never thought much about it. Let me get back to you on that.
-
In the meantime, what is the worst video game you've ever played?
-
Hmm that's an interesting one. While not necessarily bad, I remember the load times on Turok: Evolution to be so awful that it really killed my enjoyment for the game.
Another more recent kinda bland game for me was Red Steel (though the sequel was actually good)
I also remember playing some roadrunner SNES game on an emulator out of curiosity and feeling like the game played like total crap haha
-
Do you know what your favourite non-LBT animated film is? Or is it just too hard to decide? :PAli
-
It is pretty tough haha. I really enjoy Secret of NIMH after I heard how good it was. Toy Story 3 is up there for the fact that I feel like they nailed the ending. I also really like Walle for how different it felt with having a minimal amount of dialogue.
The problem is that while I really enjoy these movies (and some others as well), I have a hard time determining which ones stand out mor then the others.
-
Good answers. I've never seen Secret of NIMH (though I want to), but I agree regarding Toy Story 3 and Wall-E.
Anyway, do you have a favourite video game?
-
What are some small things that make your day better?
-
Favourite video game would have to be Super Metroid. That game blew my mind when I was 6 and it just sorta stuck with me since. As a result I usually enjoy games within the Metroidvania genre like Symphony of the Night and Hollow Knight.
As for recent games I really like, Celeste is up there at the top and I'd say it's one of the best platformers to date.
Small things that make my day better? Hmm. Well working in retail, one good customer interaction can honestly improve the day by quite a lot (same goes for the other direction as well haha). Sometimes walking around outside taking pictures is nice too. Helps you slow down and enjoy the sights more, though I really need to do that more often.
-
Yeah, good customer interactions get me in a good mood as well, and sometimes I just like to go outside and explore and think about my life decisions. :)
What would be your first question after waking up from being cryogenically frozen for 100 years?
-
What is your favourite musical instrument?
-
I guess it depends if I knew I was in cryo sleep for exactly 100 years. If I didn't my first question would probably be to ask what year it is. If not then I would probably want to know how certain things played out. The big thing on my mind would to ask how climate change has played out and if we managed to avoid any further damage
For favourite instrument, I would say it would be the violin since I actually play one myself. I also really like the piano and cello, though can't play them. The high range of a cello sounds way better then a violins in my opinion.
-
If you had unlimited funds to build a house that you would live in for the rest of your life, what would the finished house be like?
-
Favourite season of the year?
-
If you had unlimited funds to build a house that you would live in for the rest of your life, what would the finished house be like?
I'm honestly not sure. I've never been one to flaunt money around so just a regular house would be good enough for me. Though maybe one with some sort of scenic view would be cool, like a lake or mountain.
Favourite season of the year?
I think we ended up talking about this on discord already, but generally spring and fall as they have the nice moderate temperatures. I probably prefer spring more as it's a transition from cold to hot instead of the other way around.
-
Ahh, yes, you're right. We did have this conversation recently. My bad.
Anyway, do you like to write at all? If so, what sort of writing?
-
Would you rather be able to control fire or water?
-
Ahh, yes, you're right. We did have this conversation recently. My bad.
Anyway, do you like to write at all? If so, what sort of writing?
All good, we could have had the conversation after you haf posted the question for all I know.
I must say that I've never been a big fan of writing. Always hated any form of writing assignments in school, whether it was a story, poem, or essay.
Would you rather be able to control fire or water?
That sounds like a tough one. Water seems a lot more practical as it is present in my life a lot more then fire is haha. So I guess that will be my choice
-
All good, we could have had the conversation after you haf posted the question for all I know.
I'm pretty sure we had the Discord conversation before I asked the question. Oh well. :p
What is the most disappointing movie you can remember seeing? Not necessarily the worst, but the one that let you down the most for one reason or another.
-
Do you have a favorite non-English TV show or movie?
-
What’s the saddest scene in a movie or TV series?
-

Probably the Super Mario Bros movie :p
That movie is just plain...dissapointing haha.
Do you have a favorite non-English TV show or movie?
Hmm for now I'll honestly say Pokemon. Watching through the whole series was a lot of fun and I really liked the XY series.
What’s the saddest scene in a movie or TV series?
Does LBT count? :PCera
If so then obviously Littlefoot's mother's death would be up there.
On the topic of Pokemon, the deleted scene from the first movie is completely heart breaking as it goes into Dr. Fuji's motivation for creating Mewtwo with his obsession to bring his daughter back at the cost of having his wife leave him, only for her to die anyways. Makes his death at the beginning all the more sad.
-
Probably the Super Mario Bros movie :p
That movie is just plain...dissapointing haha.
lol, good answer.
Any TV shows you're currently watching?
-
What character would it be the most fun to change places with for a week? This isn't just LBT related, anything applies. :)
-
Any TV shows you're currently watching?
Well I'm finally starting to catch back up on GoT since I missed season 7. O ly watched 2 episodes so far.
What character would it be the most fun to change places with for a week? This isn't just LBT related, anything applies. :)
That's a tough on as a fantasy type world would be sweet to experience..
But also full of danger and I'd probably die haha. Maybe I'd replace a Harry Potter character, that way I can still live mostly normal for the week but also fool around with some magic.

Good answer. Seems like that'd be a bit safer than some other worlds to live in.
Is there a nickname in real life that people ever refer to you by?
-
What’s the funniest TV show or movie you’ve ever seen? If it's too difficult to list one, you can name more than that. :)
-
Is there a nickname in real life that people ever refer to you by?
Hmm not really. At my old job quite a few years back there were a couple nicknames I was called that started as derivatives of my name and slowly were more and more bastardized. A bit of a story that involves talking about my full name so I don't think I'll go into more detail then that.
What’s the funniest TV show or movie you’ve ever seen? If it's too difficult to list one, you can name more than that. :)
Now that sounds like a difficult question to answer haha, at least in terms of all time. For recent movies I'd have to go with the new Spider Man movie, the into the spiderverse one. I was surprised how funny that movie was and really recommend it. For TV shows, I recently would catch some episodes of Gintama when my roommate would watch them and that anime was pretty darn funny.
-
Favourite band or musical artist? Or if you can't narrow it down to just one, feel free to name several.
-
If you don't mind me asking, is that an LBT convention I see in your profile picture? Which one were you dressed as, Littlefoot or Cera? Or, were you not in the picture?
-
If you were given five million dollars to open a small museum, what kind of museum would you create?
-
Favourite band or musical artist? Or if you can't narrow it down to just one, feel free to name several.
I don't listen to a whole lot of music so this will be fairly limited. My dad would always play a lot of Boston for long drives so for me that's always road trip music. I guess I could also say I like Rush and Metallica though I haven't listened to much of them recently. (Actually, most of the standard music I guess you could say I've been exposed to through playing Rock Band haha)
I mostly prefer orchestral music as well as video game soundtracks. A recent artist that I like that does both is Sam Dillard. He's released 2 albums, Metroid and Chrono Trigger with a Zelda one in production (or maybe even released now?).
If you don't mind me asking, is that an LBT convention I see in your profile picture? Which one were you dressed as, Littlefoot or Cera? Or, were you not in the picture?
Sorry to dissapoint but that's just a random picture I found on google when trying to find an avatar to use back in 2007 haha.
If you were given five million dollars to open a small museum, what kind of museum would you create?
I would like to say a dinosaur one, but there would be no point as there's already a way better one in Alberta...I'm really not sure what I'd do. Maybe make a musuem of all the LBT merchandise and stuff :PCera

What smartphone feature would you actually be excited for a company to implement?
-
Have you ever had any LBT dreams? If so, which character were you?
-
What smartphone feature would you actually be excited for a company to implement?
I'm a little on the slow side of things as far as smartphones. I got my first phone when I was 18 (so my mom could keep tabs on me haha). It was an LG Chocolate flip and I used that thing for around 9 years until my phone provider texted me to say that my phone wouldn't be supported by the end of the year (that was alright, Pokemon Go was just releasing and I wanted to play that anyways haha). I've had an S5 for almost 3 years now though I guess. As for features....how about more battery life? :p
Have you ever had any LBT dreams? If so, which character were you?
Oh man I don't think I would be able to tell you. I remember the fact that I've had LBT related dreams back in the day but not much else. In fact I don't even remember any dreams when I wake up now. I feel like my dreams would have been more of a throw myself into their world as is and not actually be one of the characters.
-
What mythical creature do you wish actually existed?
-
Do you have any pets?
-
What mythical creature do you wish actually existed?
I would say dragons as they are really cool, but that would actually be terrible. I get scared enough when a crow seems to be following me so I don't need anything bigger then that to worry about :p
Maybe a unicorn or something, similar enough to a real world animal but just a tad more majestic haha.
Do you have any pets?
I don't personally, though my parents have 2 dogs that I like a bunch.
-
If you were a ghost and could possess people, what would you make them do? :)

What would be your ideal vacation retreat?
-
Favourite band or musical artist? Or if you can't narrow it down to just one, feel free to name several.
-
If you were a ghost and could possess people, what would you make them do? :)
I think I might make them do some math or physics to let them see the light on how truly magnificent it really is :bestsharptooth
What would be your ideal vacation retreat?
Not sure, haven't been on a lot of vacation retreats to know. The beach can be nice but I think mountains are much cooler!

I...feel like I answered this one already? :PCera

*checks back earlier in the thread*
Oh. You're right. My bad. Moving on then.
If you could live anywhere else in the world, where would you want to be?
-
What food have you never eaten but would really like to try?
-
If you had the opportunity to live in the LBT universe forever, would you do it? What species do you want to be?
-
Another question, while it's on my mind. What do you do for your job?
-
Been a while for me to respond to these, mostly because I'm super lame and have no idea haha
*checks back earlier in the thread*
Oh. You're right. My bad. Moving on then.
If you could live anywhere else in the world, where would you want to be?
There's places I'd certainly like to check out and visit like Iceland, New Zealand, Galapagos Islands, Argentina, preferably during the 2020 solar eclipse, to name a few off the top of my head, Europe as well but not sure where specifically haha. But as for living...no idea
What food have you never eaten but would really like to try?
Seriously I'm pretty lame, throw a burger or pizza in front of me and I'm good haha. Never was into trying or thinking about different foods.
If you had the opportunity to live in the LBT universe forever, would you do it? What species do you want to be?
Now that's an interesting question. It would certainly be interesting. For species, even though I like sharpteeth in general, living in the Great Valley would be ideal for obvious reasons :p If I could get in as a Fast Runner that would probably be ideal. Longnecks might be too big so maybe a flyer. That would be pretty awesome. Not sure if I'd be able to push the button to live in the LBT universe forever though. I would feel like I would be leaving too many people and friends behind for it to be worthwhile in the long run. Maybe as my final years that would be the best time to do it.
Another question, while it's on my mind. What do you do for your job?
I do Inventory Control at a hardware/lumber store. Definitely does not require my physics degree to get that job :p
-

Those are pretty cool places to go visit. For a New Zealand visit, I want to specifically visit Kaikoura. Lots of nature there. :D
For me personally, I'll see the one on April 8, 2024, since it's relatively close to my home. I just need to travel to upstate New York to see it. I'd be old enough to do it by that time hopefully. I see that you're planning to see the one on December 14, 2020. Good luck and safe travels to you! By the way, have you went to see other solar eclipses before?
-
How do you feel about putting pineapple on pizza? :^^spike

If there is one thing you could change about the LBT franchise (if anything), what would it be?

Ah that's great! Unfortunately I would have to wait until around 2048 or something for it to come near me haha. I'm not sure if I'll actually see the 2020 one as I might be back in school by then but it would certainly be nice!
I saw the one in 2017. I went on a trip with both my brothers and we took a 2 day drive down to Idaho to see it. Really worthwhile in my opinion! Here's some pictures
Our vantage point ~1.5 hours from totality
(https://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa86/mrmeat770/Eclipse%202017/IMG_20170821_095319.jpg)
Around 90%
(https://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa86/mrmeat770/Eclipse%202017/IMG_20170821_113209_1.jpg)
Right before totality. I'd say 99%
(https://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa86/mrmeat770/Eclipse%202017/IMG_20170821_113304_1.jpg)
And finally during totality
(https://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa86/mrmeat770/Eclipse%202017/IMG_20170821_113320.jpg)
On our way back we also checked out Yellowstone National Park as well! Total trip was 5 days.
How do you feel about putting pineapple on pizza? :^^spike
I've never been a fan but I'll eat it if there's nothing else :p
If there is one thing you could change about the LBT franchise (if anything), what would it be?
I'd do a reboot of the first movie but all in CGI with the yellowbellies the stars of the show. Sharptooth can also be replaced with Best Sharptooth! :bestsharptooth
I'd would say fix up the tv series and make it have a bit more focus on an actual plot, either through a better season or an additional one.
-
Those pictures are beautiful Flathead770! :^^spike
Can you use a normal camera to capture the eclipse or do you need any more special fulfillments for it?
I'm also curious as to what you're going to back to school to study for.
-
What would be a perfect day for you?
-
What is the longest duration of time you've ever lived in a single home? Conversely, what is the shortest you've lived in a single home? (Not counting vacations and the like.)

Thanks! This trip is what inspired me to look more into photography.
Those pictures were all taken with my phone so yes you can take a decent shot of the eclipse, though obviously much more limited then an actual camera or DSLR.
My phone has a "pro" setting that can be accessed by swiping right when taking a picture. From there you want to set the ISO to the lowest value (in my case 100). This setting is basically changing how sensitive the camera is to light. The lower the value the lower the sensitivity. This makes sure that your phone doesn't try to compensate for the dark landscape by auto bumping the ISO up (and as a result would over saturate the eclipse). You could also shoot in HDR mode (High Dynamic Range) that takes 3 shots in quick succession at 3 different exposure levels (low mid high) and averages them out so that the shadows are brighter to show a bit of detail and the highlights are a little less over exposed. The last thing to be aware of is to manually set the focal length to infinity so that the eclipse is in focus. Auto focus has a hard time focusing in low light conditions. I actually had to download a free camera app to set this.
And that's it really. Mostly just 2 settings and it works reasonably well.
As for school, I'm thinking I might take some form of Engineering, mostly towards getting into the renewable energy industry, which would most likely be Civil Engineering. Application deadline is March 1 though so earliest for me to go back would be September 2020.
What would be a perfect day for you?
That's a good question. Probably something camping related, or at least nature related in general. It's too far and few in between daily life for me so it's nice when the only goal for the day is to look at scenery.
What is the longest duration of time you've ever lived in a single home? Conversely, what is the shortest you've lived in a single home? (Not counting vacations and the like.)
I've only ever lived in 3 different homes across 2 different cities in my life so this one is easy. First home was in a trailer court for the first 5 years of my life, then we moved into a more traditional home for about 15 years until I moved to my current place so I could go to University and I've been living here for about 9 years now.
-
That was simpler than I thought. I'll take note of that. Thank you, Flathead770! :)
In one word, describe your GOF experience. Also give a rating from a scale of 1-10.

How much free time do you usually have for yourself every week?

You're much more consistent than I have been. I've lived in at least fourteen different homes in all my life. Although my current condo I've been in for almost 9 years now; once I moved out on my own I finally managed to settle down a little.
:PAli
What book, movie, video game, etc. do you most wish you could forget, only so you could experience it for the first time all over again?
-
About time I get back on this.
That was simpler than I thought. I'll take note of that. Thank you, Flathead770! :)

Now that's an interesting question. I'd have to say 'absent' as I've been gone longer then I'm around over the past 12 years :lol
It's hard to rate it back in the day as that was a long time ago, but for the 2 or so years that I've been back it's been great! It's nice to be reacquainted with old members as well as meeting all the new ones. Not sure how it would translate into a scoring system though.
How much free time do you usually have for yourself every week?
Well I'm currently single and not going to school so I generally have a decent amount of free time as long as I'm not working haha
What book, movie, video game, etc. do you most wish you could forget, only so you could experience it for the first time all over again?
For me it was always Super Metroid. Exploring that game for the first time back when I was around 6 years old was so exciting. The game is still fun to play today but not knowing where to go and getting lost is always a fun experience that can only be enjoyed once for games.

Have you ever dyed your hair?

Do you have phobias of anything in particular?

Have you ever dyed your hair?
I have not and have never really had the desire to do so.
Do you have phobias of anything in particular?
Funny enough, despite never being stung by a wasp I've always been scared of them haha. I've gotten better over the years but still feel quite nervous when they're near me, I just don't act as crazy anymore :p
-
Do you play any board games? If so, name a favorite if you have one.

I don't play them that often I'm afraid. My friend loves playing Settlers of Catan so I've played a good amount of that before (and getting kinda sick of it tbh :p ). One board game that was fun was a Game of Thrones one. Takes several hours to fully understand the rules but can be quite fun to play. I've only played it a couple times though.

Can you tell me 5 things you like about yourself?
-
If there is one thing you could change about the LBT franchise (if anything), what would it be?
-
Have you done any homemade cooking before?
-
What's your favourite cartoon?
-
What fanart piece that you have made so far are you the most proud of?
-
Oh man, I guess I should finally answer some questions :PLoofah
Can you tell me 5 things you like about yourself?
You've stumped me for the past year and a half or so haha. I honestly can't really name things that I like about myself
If there is one thing you could change about the LBT franchise (if anything), what would it be?
Hmm I'm pretty sure I've also answered this question before :PLoofah
Have you done any homemade cooking before?
Not really haha. It's something that started back in my old University days where you try to maximize both time and money saved, so I never really bothered with cooking much. I guess I had plenty of opportunity to do better when I was out of school but I guess that's no longer the case now haha.
What's your favourite cartoon?
That's a tough one. As a kid I remember really liking shows like Reboot, Beast Wars, Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z. I didn't end up watching Avatar: The Last Airbender until years after it concluded and binged it on Netflix, that was a good one as well. The first season of The Legend of Korra was good too, not so much a fan of the later seasons though.
What fanart piece that you have made so far are you the most proud of?
Oh this is interesting. There are a couple that I would say I'm proud of, most of which I really like how the backgrounds turned out. A couple of them are:

Do you have a least favorite character in the LBT series?
-
Do you have a least favorite character in the LBT series?
Not sure if I have one that's the absolute least favourite, but in general I don't like a lot of the more annoying characters like Dinah and Danah, or really incompetent characters that can speak, like Dil and Ichy :PLoofah
Honestly I probably like the yellowbellies more then them since they go so far into stupidity that they're meme material haha.
-
What anthropomorphic characters from any game, book, or movie do you like the most?
-
Hmm that's an interesting question. Maybe Yoshi? Always my go to choice in most Mario games if given the option.
-
What fictional occupation would you like to try, if possible?
-
Favorite lake you've been to?
-
What fictional occupation would you like to try, if possible?
That's a tough one. I guess my imagination is too crappy to think of one haha
Favorite lake you've been to?
That's an interesting question...I've seen a decent amount of lakes that I enjoy. I really enjoyed hiking around Upper Kananaskis Lake
(https://i.imgur.com/q0hyv3x.jpg)
As far as best photo, Astotin Lake probably gets the cake
(https://i.imgur.com/TnZtK9s.jpg)
Most scenic spot for a lake though would probably go to Spirit Island on Maligne Lake
(https://i.imgur.com/N85Gr3X.jpg)
I did also check out Moraine Lake for a bit but the weather wasn't all too great for viewing. I hear that's also one of the top tier lakes for some views.

:OOOOOOOOOOO
this sunset...

Amazing pictures, Flathead, thanks for sharing!
I miss having good lakes around, haha.

:OOOOOOOOOOO

I know it's not a question, but I figure I should clarify, the sun was actually already down. What you're seeing is the light pollution from the nearby city.

Thanks! Yeah lakes are always nice to visit every now and then.

Haha I read your comment on what you consider were your worst video game experience and said Turok: Evolution :cry that's one of my all-time favorite game and that is where I stole the protagonist's name Tal'set and additionally using it as a nickname nearly everywhere online, that's how dear this game is to me :PAli but admittedly I can see how someone can dislike it since the Turok community are divided with their opinions of the game
But drifting away from this, what is your favorite Disney movie? If you have one.

I honestly couldn't really say haha
Haha I read your comment on what you consider were your worst video game experience and said Turok: Evolution :cry that's one of my all-time favorite game and that is where I stole the protagonist's name Tal'set (Talset) and additionally using it as a nickname nearly everywhere online, that's how dear this game is to me :PAli but admittedly I can see how someone can dislike it since the Turok community are divided with their opinions of the game
But drifting away from this, what is your favorite Disney movie? If you have one.
Yeah it would be a game I would like to revisit at some point. Just recently played through the first Turok on steam actually and it was pretty fun. And right, his name wasn't actually Turok in that one (or he claims that name right at the end or something? I dunno it's been well over a decade since I played through it haha). I just remember the game being bogged down with incredibly long loading times, at least for the standards at the time.
For favorite Disney movie...hmmmm. I do remember really liking Walle when it first came out, was cool to see a movie convey a lot of story without much dialogue. I also really liked Toy Story 3 as it came out at a really good time in which I basically grew up alongside Andy throughout the films so it was a neat perspective. Also ended the series perfectly and I'm just a little upset that they decided to make a 4th one, which I still haven't bothered to watch. Also Lion King just on the OST alone haha.
-
What film have you sat through was the longest by runtime?
-
Hmm not sure. Maybe Titanic or Avatar? I think both of those get into the 3 hour mark right?
-
There are movies that have reached the 4 hour mark.
Have you seen Gone with the Wind?
-
I know the name, but I don't think I've seen it
-
Have you seen the cartoon series Arthur?
-
-- I'm just a little upset that they decided to make a 4th one, which I still haven't bothered to watch.
I don't know if you have watched it by now, but if you haven't, I don't think you're missing out on much. I watched it in the cinemas and later on Disney+ because my husband wanted to see it as well, and no matter how much I want to like that movie, it just doesn't have that Toy Story magic the other three have. TS3 was a perfect ending, and I consider the 4th film to be non-canon :p
If you should rank the three Toy Story movies from your favorite to your least favorite, in what order would they be?
-
Have you seen the cartoon series Arthur?
I'm sure I've seen some episodes of it before, but it wasn't a show I actively watched.
If you should rank the three Toy Story movies from your favorite to your least favorite, in what order would they be?
Good to know that the 4th one isn't really worth watching haha
For the ranking, I'd probably go with 3, 1, 2. I really liked how the 3rd ended as well as the concept of outgrowing your toys. I think it also helped that I grew up along with Andy so it hit the right mark when seeing it in theaters. The 2nd one I've only seen a couple of times way back in the day so I don't remember it as well as the others, but I do remember the talking point of worrying about kids growing older, seemingly foreshadowing the 3rd movie.
-
Are there any popular films or shows that you just couldn't get into?
-
Hmm, that's a tough one to think about because in general I don't watch very many shows to begin with, at least on my own. I know at one point my one friend kept recommending that I watch Death Note back when it became fairly popular as far as more mainstream anime goes, but I could never motivate myself to actually watch it.
-
whats the difference between a sharptooth and a trex.
-
Sharpteeth are the super set of all dinosaurs that have sharp teeth, while a T-Rex is a subset of a sharptooth, representing only a specific group of sharpteeth :bestsharptooth
-
The carnotoraus is probably the most terrifying sharptooth I know. Just to follow up on the last question.
Where'd you get your profile pic? Did you actually take a picture of some people dressed in dinos? That would be cool!
-
It's been awhile since someone commented on my profile pic (it's the same one I had when first joining the forum back in 2007 believe it or not)
As for the answer to the question, unfortunately it wasn't taken by me, it's just some random picture I found on the internet way back in the day when searching for a decent picture to use. Thought it was funny and went with it (plus Littlefoot1616 had the profile pic of Littlefoot smiling with the flower wreath on his head from Cera's LBTX dream so I couldn't copy him :PLoofah )
I remember other people talking about it way back in the day and it seems to be for some event for probably one of the early sequels as you can see a TV with Universal shown in the background.
-
Which Alberta city do you prefer Calgary or Edmonton?
-
I suppose I'm a bit bias with living in Edmonton for 11 years and only visiting Calgary a handful of times. Edmonton is a lot easier to navigate and follows a more grid like structure. Calgary can be absolutely annoying trying to get to places when you don't have a good layout of the land and need to follow Google Maps :PLoofah That being said, Calgary is only an hour away from the mountains and my friend that lives there constantly talks about going away on the weekend to do some mountain hikes that make me incredibly jealous haha. Closest mountains to Edmonton are around a 4 hour drive. Calgary is also closer to Drumheller for checking out the dinosaur museum here in Alberta so that would also be a plus.
The only other benefit to Edmonton that I can say is that Hawrelak Park in Edmonton was great for taking pictures of geese as they're all pretty darn tame (you can see some of the geese pictures I have taken here (https://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=16711.0))
-
What's your favourite Canadian past time?
-
Hmm I don't know if I have a past time that is specifically Canadian. I mostly just do homework and maybe play some video games if I have some free time nowadays (which I generally don't :PLoofah )
-
Standard DVD or Blu-ray?
-
Well I've never owned a device that could run Blu-rays so I guess DVD? But then again nowadays I don't have any way to play DVDs either :PLoofah
-
Have you heard of the Knebworth Park venue in England? It's one of the most well known outdoor concert places outside of London.
-
What do you know about 6teen (my brand, lol) and Total Drama? :smile
-
Have you ever watched Animaniacs?
-
Have you heard of the Knebworth Park venue in England? It's one of the most well known outdoor concert places outside of London.
I have not
What do you know about 6teen (my brand, lol) and Total Drama? :smile
Absolutely nothing haha. Had to look it up and found out it aired from 2004 to 2010? That would put me in the 14 to 20 range for age, but by then I stopped actively watching TV for cartoons and looking for new ones to watch.
Have you ever watched Animaniacs?
I have, though mostly in a passing by sorta situation. Never actually sat down in watched through the episodes, which I should probably do at some point.
-
Have you ever seen Citizen Kane?
-
Favorite Lion King character?
-
Here's another question: have you heard of Detentionaire? It's my current hyperfixation lol. :p
-
Have you ever seen Citizen Kane?
I have not, even though I know it's generally regarded as one of the best films created.
Favorite Lion King character?
Never really been huge into Lion King, though watching it in theaters when they did the whole 3D version of it was pretty cool (not the 3D part though haha). I guess I'll be lame and say Simba :PLoofah
Here's another question: have you heard of Detentionaire? It's my current hyperfixation lol. :p
Sorry to disappoint you again, but I haven't even heard of it let alone seen it once again :bestsharptooth
-
Have you seen a Star Trek film?
-
TMNT, maybe?
-
Ever been to the northern provinces of Canada?
-
Have you seen a Star Trek film?
I've seen one of the older Star Trek films, though I can't remember which ones they were. I've also seen the first two reboot films.
TMNT, maybe?
I think I might have seen a bit of the older TV series episodes when I was younger, but that was more my older brothers show as I was probably quite young at the time. I do remember seeing parts of the TMNT series that was during the mid 2000s? Also the first live action movie is great haha.
Ever been to the northern provinces of Canada?
Well anything further north of the main Canadian provinces are technically Territories, but no, I have not been to them. Would like to check them out one day though.
-
Have you ever heard of Jordan Peterson? Have you ever watched some of his videos?
-
How familiar are you with the Sonic games?
-
Do you hate those moments of silence and then an immediate jumps scare?
-
Been awhile since I've visited this topic
Have you ever heard of Jordan Peterson? Have you ever watched some of his videos?
I've heard of him and know that he seems to have some fairly extreme views on certain topics. From what I've heard I don't seem to agree with him and have no desire to get further tangled in such things.
How familiar are you with the Sonic games?
I know a bit about them. I've beaten the first two games as well as Sonic Mania. Haven't really touched the 3D games, though I know a lot of them aren't the best :PLoofah
Do you hate those moments of silence and then an immediate jumps scare?
I suppose I do, though mainly because I feel it's a poor way to express suspense as the relief after the jumpscare makes things less scary in the long run. If you really want to scare people, have a spot where a jump scare seems evident, but don't have one. Gotta keep them guessing haha. It's the same way with monster reveals in scary shows, where once the monster is revealed, it instantly becomes less scary (Stranger Things season 1 for example). It's a reason why older scary films can be much scarier, as the limited technology made it so reveals weren't as much as a thing, so people fill in the void with their own imagination, which is generally always much more scary then the real thing.
In general I'm not even a fan of scary type shows though haha

Have you ever been abroad?
-
If you had a chance to get one LBT fursuit of any LBT character, who would it be?
-
Have you ever spent an entire day at the West Edmonton Mall?
-
Have you ever been abroad?
I have. I went to Cuba back in 2008 as part of a high school music trip as I played in the school orchestra. Basically went around to different music schools and played music and then listened to them play music (they totally kicked our asses haha). In 2012 I went to Mexico with my family, and in 2017 my brothers and I drove down to Idaho for the solar eclipse.
If you had a chance to get one LBT fursuit of any LBT character, who would it be?
Hmmm, I think I would choose.....Loofah :PLoofah
Have you ever spent an entire day at the West Edmonton Mall?
Never an entire day. The WEM is a tourist trap and when you live in Edmonton you try and find any way to avoid it at all costs. The theater in the mall used to have an animatronic dragon that breathed fire that I luckily got to witness as a kid, though they unfortunately took it down. Here's a video of it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOpSchnybWE

What instrument did you play in the orchestra?
-
I played the violin. In grade 12 I was in 2nd violin section in the orchestra, basically the group that usually harmonizes with the 1st violin section that has all the fancy melodies.
-
Was playing the Violin difficult?
-
Yeah it can be. I've heard people say it's one of the harder instruments to learn, though I can't confirm this as I haven't played too many others haha.
I've tried playing it recently and can say that it is a skill that can be lost over time. Definitely some rust going on there :bestsharptooth
-
Ever wanted to go to the Northern Territories?
