Beyond the Mysterious Beyond => The Party Room => Ask Me => Topic started by: Nick22 on August 11, 2009, 01:26:11 AM
-
well, this is the 4th or so such thread copied after rat-ladys idea, but what the heck.. ask me anything..
-
What made you start the Insane Cafe tetrology?
-
Actually it was Aves who started the iNsane cafe, and it was initially a place wher everything and everything went. the sequels have been more plot driven, but that still dooesn't mean insane things still don't happen
-
Which of the Insane Cafe RPs is your favorite?
-
Did you know my name was also Nick?
-
Serris: Well I'm partial to the current one, although the second one is up there as well. there stories would not be possible without the efforts of you, DRake, Kor, TFS and Noname. you guys deserve a pat on the back
LBT; thats quite a coincidence
-
How long have you and Adam been friends?
-
Well, I first met Adam and Malte on the Network54 boards back in 2002. I joined Adam's WElcome to the Great Valley Forum, and eventually took over running the site from him. it didn't last unfortunately. we never got more than ten members. howeever, two of those members Threehorn and Kenji later joined here and have become productive members. I joined in November 2004, and I let the Welcome to the Great Valley bosrd die off. I become mod here, but it wasn't until after a spamming attack in march 2005 that I became an Admin. I've held that position ever since, for four years now. Adam and I are friends and he trusts me..and I him..
-
How many RPs have you participated in? which was your favorite?
-
thats a good question LBt. Lets see, around 12-15, some of which were never completed. my favorite would have to be the Insane cafe series - I'm counting the three as a whole..
-
When did you start becoming a LBT fan?
-
well I fitrst saw the film when it first came out. I ended up with the fitrst 10 LBt films( my little brotyher was big into dinosaurs) , but we 've since given them away to my little cousin Colin. So I've been an LBt fan for about 20 years..
-
How did you get interested in the Darwin's Soldiers universe?
-
Well, I had read bits and pieces lof the story beforem,, but it wasn';'t until your characters got involves in the Second Insane cafe, that my interest really took off. You did a very good job with the story. a group of seven scentists drawn together to stop Dragonstorm and terrorists.. so far, they've managed to come out of it alive..
-
Are there any Dinosaur-related movies outside of Land Before Time that you enjoy watching as well?
-
Jurassic Park( all 3) and Dinosaur are dino-reklated movies that I like besides lbt..
-
Where did you come up with your characters name Aisha Tennes for the Darwin's Soldiers RP?
-
Just where did you learn so much about history?
-
Answering both questions
Aisha Tennes, was a name i just threw together, i made her a gifted student, because often times children of high ranking officials tend to be very driven people. shes a loyal person, and unwilling to back down from a fight..
as for learning about history, well, i've always enjoyed reading, and learning about the past. i alkso have a very good memory, when i read something, i twend to remember it. i'm good with dates and figures, and understanding why the people of each area did things the way they did.
-
Who is your favorite LBT character?
-
my favorite character is Littlefoot, and my favorirte secondary character is Ali. I;m a big of thier'ship', in other words them having a relationship..
-
What do you think the filmmakers at Universal should do to turn LBT into a success once more?
-
wel, they need to go back to the formula of the early sequels. my personal preference would be to bring Ali back in a new sequel. the last few sequels have been more and miore focused on young kids, and have lacked the appeal to other age groups that the early sequels had. imo the folks at Universal waited too long to put out an LBt tv series. they should have put one out after LBT 4 or 5.
-
So you think they should be darker like Don Bluth intended?
-
yes. bad things happen in real life, and it would help too littlefoot had other longneck friends, we don't see many other longneck kids in the valley although there should be some..
-
Any other questions?
-
Was the "darkening" of the Insane Cafe Tetrology intentional?
-
not really, it just has happened as the story has unfolded. the next chapter will be less dark.. more light-hearted..
-
Have you read Twilight Valley?
-
Just bits and pieces here and there. but no, i have not read the whole thing..
-
What are you planning to do for Halloween? :)
-
work, and hand out candy to trick-or treaters before hand. i'm too old to dress up in costumes :)
-
I say you're never too old for a holiday like Halloween, especially if you look at the history of Halloween, and what it REALLY stands for. :p hehe
What do you do for a living?
-
well, i've a got a degree in history, and have done some odd jobs here and there. i've done everything from manual labor to worjking in a law office.. for the last 9 years i've been a dishwaster. right now, i'm doing an internship at a local sports talk radio station, the local espn affiliate..
-
What is your favorite sport?
-
good question. it depending on whether i'm watching or playing the sport. My favorite sport to watch is football. My favorite sport to play is tennis..
-
anyone else?
-
Anyone else?
-
Are you a Jedi by any chance? *shifts eyes*
-
No, I'm the sixth member of the Istari though Tolkien cut out all referances to me lol
-
any other (serious) questions?
-
What was the last great or cool movie that you saw?
-
hmm
the last great film was the Dark Knight in 2008
the last cool film was Sherlock Holmes
-
I heard those are good movies. Do you like either of those better or are they to different to compare in that way?
-
The Dark Knight won 2 oscars, including Best Supporting Actor fo r Heath Ledger only the secong actor to win an Oscar posthumously while Sherlock Holmes is a very good movie its not quite at the same level..
-
how about your recent best liked read books?
-
well I'm Big into Sherlock Holmes..and I've got all the Harry Potter ones.. I'll say the last really good one was mussolini about the Italian dictator
-
I wonder if it would change much if mussolini had decided to join the allies.
-
The allies did not like mussolini, but the time the war started The Axis had more to offer than the Allies did..
-
Any tv series you really enjoyed in the past but have not seen in a while?
-
peter pan and the pirates it was on fox kids in the late 80s early 90s.
-
I've not heard about it, except for I think the Nostalgia critic talked about it briefly on one of his lists.
Any tv series you do like a lot and have on dvd or can see often on tv?
-
Family Guy, and the Simpsons. Don't like American dad or the Cleveland Show as much..
-
How much experience do you have RP'ing?
-
Lets see, i've been doing roleplaying in one forum or another since oh 2003 or so so thats about 7 years. I've gotten better over time, of course, with experience and better understand of what my fellow rpers want..
-
Do you have a favorite genre?
-
fantasy-scifi because i'm a big fan of well-written fantasy.. which is not as common as you might think
eragon is an exapmle of not well -written fantasy
-
Yes, I recall reading a lot that seemed to be copies of Tolkein. You have to read a lot to find the good stuff. Though now you can maybe find some other reviews to help make things a bit easier.
Any favorite fantasy book series or limited series?
-
Harry Potter has been very good, althouggh the books are better than the movies but the movies are getting better.. I'm not sure Radcliffe will ever escape being Harry though..
-
Not completely, though if he takes very different roles, it'll help.
any favorite food or foods?
-
i love hot dogs, pizza, candy, and sweets..
-
Sounds great, though I guess you don't eat that stuff to often?
Any favorite tv show you use to watch as a kid?
-
Scooby Doo, I've watched every different series in the storyline..even Scooby and Scrappy, the New Scooby Doo Mysteries and Ahaggy and Scooby Doo Get a Clue..

I'm big into Gamecube but now I've switched to Playstation 3..
-
Have many games you play on it?
-
quite a few, the last game i got for the PS3 was batman Arkham Asylum, which i really enjoyed.. I grew up with Batman the Animated series..
-
THat is a great series. Though Liked the show best before they added in the little boy robin, forgot his name, Tim Drake I think.
You seen any of the animated batman movies?
-
yes. Night of the Phantsm. SubZero. and even batman Beyond and Batman vs Dracula
-
I've not seen that last one, how is it?
-
its very good. its based on the "the batman' series of the last couple years its quite good.
-
How is the batman series? I've heard some bad things bout it
-
its actually pretty good the 2005-07 series. its batman the brave and the bold thats not that good. its too campy..
-
camp as in the 60's tv batman?
-
yes, although 60s batman was pure camp.pure silliness..
-
I've not seen it since I was a kid loooong ago, except for clips here and there, and the unaired batgirl pilot. have you seen the 60's batman much?
-
they show it on reruns every now and then.. adam West is actually a fine actor..
-
Yes. Have you ever seen superfriends? He did the voice of batman in some of those episodes I think.
-
yes he did, and Casey Kasem did Robin..and yes i have seen them...
-
He did lots of voices in Hanna barberrar cartoons.
Seen many hanna barbera cartoons?
-
of course. besides all the scooby shows
i saw wacky races, the charie browns specials thundercats, johnny quest, and well the list is very long..
-
Have any besides Scooby that you like a lot?
-
johnny quest, i liked a lot, i liked yogi bears and friends..
-
You ever tried reading any book or short story online on your pc?
-
no, i use my computer for surfing the web, and requently sits likre this one. if i wabt to read a short story, i'll buy it and read it then..
-
I guess you've never read any free books or stuff on project gutenberg. How about listening to any of the free audio books that are read by some folks that are project gutenberg books?
-
again i usually don't listen to audio books. i prefer to rad the books myself.. although i did have a lot of those casettes for Disney stories when I was little that would tell the story and given an audio feel as i was reading along..
-
Guess I'm the only one who likes that sort of thing, and old time radio and podcasts also.
Any older sorts of comedians that you like or do you just like the ones active in the last decade or 2?
-
i loved Rodney Dangerfield, i freaking loved him. another one is Steve martin. there are a number of others like Robin Williams but hes either manic or serious mostly maniac..
classic comedians i'd go with the stooges laurel and Hardy and Groucho Marx..
-
Do you like Sonic games?
-
well i've only played a few of them. i do remember watching a friend play the original somic games. as for the sonic characters i think Amy is nothing more than a Mary Sue..
-
Do you have a favorite video game character or characters?
-
I have a question.
You have an interest in history...I was wondering do you have a certain area or time period that you are interested in, or do you just like all areas of history?
And you say that you play tennis...what raquet do you have? Are you interested in watching the tennis? If yes, do you have a favourite tennis player?
As for you playing, do you have a ranking or do you not participate in tournaments?
Sorry if these aren't in-depth and serious questions.
Edit: :lol, it seems as though I've asked more than one question.
-
a lot of question sAft, but I'll be glad to answers them
I don't compete in tournament, although I did in high school. I finished 6th in my conference in 4 singles on year, which isn't bad at all considering 3 of the teams in my league are perennial state powers, and the guy i lost to in the consolation final was his teams #1 player. Considering i only have one working eye I'm not that bad of a player.
As for favorite players, I grew up idolizing Pete Sampras the great American tennis player. He won 14 majors which was the most until Roger Federer broke it. Federer is the best male tennis player ever, female, i'd have to say Martina Navitralova. I use Wilson made rackets when i play.. and I watch tennis a lot on ESPN, the speed the men can serve nowadays is amazing.. its incredible they can even see the ball, let alone return it..
-
History, I like all areas, but my favorites are American and nazi Germany periods.
-
My favorite video game character would be Mario, folowed by foxmccloud and Ratchet.
-
Do you like biology?
-
yes i do. i particularly like explring how rocks that once were at the bottom of the ocean, now are on the veery highest places in the world.
-
yes i do. i particularly like explring how rocks that once were at the bottom of the ocean, now are on the veery highest places in the world.
That would be more towards geology.
In any case, what was the first RP you played?
-
on this forum/ well i think it was a new years rp, where we could play as any character you wanted, this was in late 2004 i think, i joined in late November 2004. it was completely silly of course, but that was my introduction to rping here.
-
Any favorite type of genres to rp in?
-
fantasy-scifi. that where most of of my rps fall..
-
any other questions?
-
When did you become an admin or was you one from the start of Gang of Five?
-
no, i was not an admin from the start I became an admin shortly after an spam attack on the board a few months after the board was started. I was a mod briefly, then elevated to full admin.
-
anyone else?
-
What do you find most interesting in your home state of Wisconsin?
-
good question. well there are several pro and college teams in the state, and there are a lot of open spaces up north.. plus there's the tourist area in Wisconsin Dells. It hard to say what I find to be most interesting since there are a nnumber of interesting things to do in the state.
-
MERRYCHRISTMAS!!!
-
thanks rat lady
same to you.. :)
-
any new questions?
-
Not sure if this one has been asked before (yes I read through the whole topic), which episode of the LBT tv series was your favorite episode? :)
-
I didn't watch all of them after the brsve Longneck scheme i did not watch mny others, so I would say the Brave long Scheme - even though it could have been SO MUCH better.
-
Yeah, there's alot of the tv series that could have been better.
Was this the link to the Welcome to the Great Valley forum?
http://z5.invisionfree.com/Welcome_to_the_...alley/index.php (http://z5.invisionfree.com/Welcome_to_the_Great_Valley/index.php)
Was the forum deleted before you joined Gang of Five?
-
Yes it was and no I joined just before the forum was deleted it was deleted in january of 2005 as I recall..it was never very active..
-
Were you and Adam the only admins there? Or was threehorn one too?
Also, did threehorn used to be an admin or mod? I saw him mention he was one.
-
Petrie handed it off to me and I was the only admin, although Threehorn and malte were regulars as was Kenji. kenjiand Threehorn were the only real active members of the Great Valley forum, besides adam, Malte and myself..
-
I meant was Threehorn an admin or mod here? I saw that he started a new topic in the announcements section, and I know that only admins and mods can start new topics in that section.
EDIT:
This topic to be exact, that's why I was wondering if Threehorn was an admin or mod here.
http://gangoffive.net/index.php?showtopic=551 (http://gangoffive.net/index.php?showtopic=551)
-
he was a mod for sometime , just for a particular forum. there were mods listed for particular sections then global mods then admins..
-
I know, I use that same system on my Tremors and Pebble and the Penguin forums. I also use that Members+ system for both too, I have After Midnight forums on them.
I think I've found out how Petrie set up that Members+ system. He created a permission mask for that specific user group "Members+", and it is only used for that group. Then Admins, Global Mods and Forum Mods can view it by default even if they don't have 25 posts, and as they are trusted members or they wouldn't be in the rank they are at.
Is there actually a section on GOF used for admins to discuss topics such as banning members or deleting topics or topics such as the new member icons?
On my pebble and the penguin forum, Adam (who I appointed an admin) created a section that is only for admins and mods, so I was curious is all.
-
yes there is, however all such matter discussed there are private, and will remain private. i've banned people (on other forums) for discussing things publicly that were supposed to be private..
-
I know, I haven't had to ban anybody yet on my Tremors or Pebble forums (there's only three members on the Tremors one, and five on the Pebble), and they are all people I know well from other sites. But I'm expecting (when and if) any more members join my forums, I will have to warn, disable accounts or ban members on them, but I have had to block a few people on Ice Age wiki, and I've banned a few even. Let's just say, if they want to post rumors, find a wiki about Ice Age that allows rumors or keep them to yourself.
I haven't had trouble with posts in the wrong sections or anything like that either, although on the pebble forum I had to split one topic.
Was it just me, or did Petrie used to by the name "RoggerRabbit" or something like that on GOF before he changed it? I saw his second account referred to that two or three times on GOF.
-
yes that was a 'test account' that he used to test out various things..he still has it..
-
Have you created any forums or websites before?
-
No, I've just managed those that have already been set up. i post very frequently on sites that catch my interest
-
Do you have a youtube account?
This is mine if your wondering the same thing: http://youtube.com/LadyBlueAOFW (http://youtube.com/LadyBlueAOFW)
-
yes I do mRNickm28
just joined a couple days ago in fact
-
Is this you? http://www.youtube.com/mRNickm28 (http://www.youtube.com/mRNickm28) Just wanted to be sure before I click add as friend.
-
yes it is.. :)
-
What bands or types of music do you like to listen to?
-
I'm an oldies type of guy but my favorite bands include the Following: queen Aersmith, the Bee Gees and Survivor. Solo arists: Elton John, Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye Tina turner, and I could go on and on..
-
I'm more into rock bands like Nickelback or Rasmus.
Anyway, I'm not going to create one, but if I was, how would I create an MSN account? I use Yahoo! Instant Messenger, but I was just curious. Is it a website or a program or what?
-
you have to go to msn.com
and click on messenger. then you have to sign up for messener giving a email account and a name you;ll use while chatting. its pretty easy..
-
So I'd just enter my email address and say Adder or something as username?
Then why is there this in my start bar (in the red circle)?
(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd515/Adder2/th_MSN-1.jpg) (http://s1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd515/Adder2/?action=view§t=MSN-1.jpg)
-
You click on it, then when it shows you you click on messenger" its called Windows Live messenger..
-
One more question (maybe): I clicked on it, and it said I had to install it for some reason, this box came up:
(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd515/Adder2/Progress.jpg)
Do I let it install?
-
yes you have to let it install.. it doesn't take very long..and you can use msn chat to chat with other members on the GOF. It toook mree awhile to sign up for mSN too ;)
-
But how would I find say you or Adam on MSN? Would I click on (http://i1.ifrm.com/style_images/1/p_msn.gif) under a user's signature, then click:
Send this member an MSN Message
and
Add this member to your MSN buddy list ?
And can I just use my email address for it or do I have to use one created by MSN?
-
you can use your emnail adress. first you have to send us an "invite' if you want to add us to your contacts. once you do that we'll add you to our list then wheneever you have time you can send us an Im and we can chat. My msn account is morrellpram@aol.com
-
It says I have to pay $9.95 per year with high speed internet to use MSN, what if I don't want to do that?
-
then you don't have to. you can use Meebo as a substitute.. meebo.com. allows you to use yahoo for chatting..
-
Also, I added to you my contacts on Yahoo! Messenger using your MSN address, your in my contact list, but you never are shown as online at all to me. But my friend, Karl Smith, I just added him simply, and he shows online whenever he is on MSN. Did you get message from someone with my email address (in my profile)?
-
well I have a different yahoo account
I'll pm it to you..
-
Who are your greatest inspirational idols?
-
historically. I would say lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. Lincoln for his ability to make a 'Team of Rivals wpork in a national crisis , Roosevelt for his environmentalist leadership. lets put it this way big Oil and coal WOULD NOT like me being president.. because the moment I got into office I'd go on a conserving spree, involving liberal use of the antiquities act.
-
any other questions?
-
Do you write fanfics or draw?
-
no, to both. I candraw very well due to my limited vision, and I prefer roleplaying to fanfics, because I like the interaction with other people.
-
any other questions?
-
Are you a fan of Happy Feet? [I've seen you mention 2 alot, but I've never seen you mention 1]
-
yes i dio like the first one, especially the tap dancing sequences..
-
any other questions
-
Do you like any anime?
-
yes i like anime. shows like Inuyasha, cased closed
Full Metal alchemist wolf's rain and others
one of the favorite animated films in the anime spirited away
-
Continuing on the anime track, how did you get introduced to the medium?
-
well i watch a lot of cartoons omn cartoon network so when "Adult Swim" comes on, I watched that as well, and I watched late enough to catch most of the amine that was airing at the time. i was introduced though my habit of watchinh cartoon into the wee hours. so i watched inutasha wolf's rain, etc and enjoyed it..
-
Do you read manga novels?
Also, I seem to recall that you play tennis (I hope I have recalled that correctly) and as I have played tennis since I was little and had been on a tennis court for the majority of my life (mum is a tennis coach, hence the reason why), I was wondering what your ATP rating is; that is if you do have one?
-
Saft: No I'm not an official pro :D i don't have a ranking. I teach tennis to younger kids in the Milwaukee area, right now I'm teaching at 3 different schools. I bet you're pretty good at tennis, thanks to your mom. As for manga.. not really, I prefer the anime films..
-
Are you a fan of Watership Down?
-
i only read some of it, and that was a long time ago. Its a good book, but I prefer Redwall
-
Oh you teach tennis? What sort of drills do you do with the kids?
-
well we do drills with ballas(bouncing them up and down against the rcquet) and then we work on the ground strokes..(forehand and backhand)
-
Do you ever play King/Queen of the court?
It is like a round robin. You get two players (if playing doubles) to go on the opposite side of the court and then line up the other players who will have a short rally until either they miss the ball or the 'king(s)' or 'queen(s)' miss. Then they becoming king/queen.
It was great fun to play and even greater to help teach (mum allows my sister and I to help on occasion if she needs it).
-
yes i do, and the kids love it. sometimes we play it with doubles, gets more kids involved. what i normally do is have the challengers win 2 points beforing dethrioning the king/quueen. they miss a shot the next group comes in and rotates.
-
In what way did you become an admin?
-
Well I earned Petries trust, to put it simply. I had run a old board of his called Welcome to the Great valley (note to everyone- the GOF is a rare success story, unless you get a good number of dedicated posters, boards usually don't last long) and joined here in late 2004. it wasn't until an an unfortunate encounter with spammers that i was made a mod and then an admin.
-
If you could pick ONE, what would you pick; pie or cake?
-
pie, i love apple pie..
-
^
:D
What sort of Tennis racquet do you have?
Also...are you watching Wimbeldon?:p
-
I use a Wilson racquet, and yes am I am watching Wimbledon. Could be a Williams Sisters final on the women's side.
-
any other questions?
-
any other questions?
I have a question:
Have you heard of Extreme Dinosaurs, Nick22? I like Extreme Dinosaurs. :DD :lol :smile :p
-
no I have not. any other questions.
-
Any current tv show, or shows, you enjoy watching?
-
Have you ever attempted to do any kind of (fan)art?
-
in answer to your question Ducky: No, I have not. I cant draw very well at all.
as for your question kOr, I like beware the Batman.
-
I'm open to any new questions.
-
After a period of feeling rather intimidated as I wasn't sure what to ask you, I noticed you like Redwall (squueee!)
How many books have you read? (sry if this has been asked before...)
-
i have read just about all the redwall books, with the exception of the 2 most recent releases..
any other questions?
-
do you like avatar the last airbender and Avatar the legend of Korra?
-
i like last airbender better than legend of korra. originals usually are better than sequels.
-
What's your opinion on cyberpunk?
-
its ok, i'm not a huge fan of it. i know some people arem and to each their own.
-
Any other questions?
-
Do you think Chomper is going to stay nice or is he going to be the Darth Vader of the LBT series, turning on everyone?
Also, do you think Littlefoot and Ali will get married ever?
Do you like Jar Jar Binks?
(You said to ask you anything.)
-
First question: given the shows target audience, Chomper will stay nice
Second question : Its likely they will, they didnt show any other girl longnecks in any part of the series
Third question: Not at all, hes an annoying characters and fails to be comic relief. theres a reason his role was so small in the second and third prequels.
-
What is your least favorite LBT character?
(Mine personally are Dana, Dinah, Rhett, and Bron (who I feel has a lot of explaining to do. I also think Rinkus looks dorky and that detracts from his role as a villain.)
I used to despite Topps when I was younger, but he's become a lot more tolerable after movie 5.
-
Rhette, is mine, because hes nothing more than a plot device to get Littlefoot jealous. it also didnt help that the ali in the episode was a complete dimwit.
-
Do you think Chomper would have eaten Ducky had they not been rescued in "Escape from the Mysterious Beyond", say for 2 weeks? Would he have considered it? Do you think Ducky ever considered that Chomper might eat her if the others didn't show up within a few days, even if Thud didn't get her, that Chomper might?
-
Yes, to all 3. remember Chomper is a meateater and given that Ducky would have been his only possible source of food during the 2 weeks they were stuck in there.and ducky would have been foolish not to consider that she might become food, especially if there was no food for her in that area, that she might well die of starvation before they get rescued.
-
I have a few questions:
1. Which Land Before Time character do you think has the worst singing voice?
2. Which film do you think the series should have stopped at?
3. Which film is your least favorite Land Before Time sequel?
-
MR Thick nose
the series should have stopped after 5
and 13 is my least favorite by far.
-
Uh, one question.
Why do you almost never capitalize words that should be capitalized (like i and the start of a sentence)?
-
I type fast, and as a result, things that should be capitalized, sometimes are not. In addition, I have poor vision, so I sometimes miss when words are not capitalized as they should. I usually correct those mistakes, when I catch them.
-
Oh, I didn't know that.
-
It's ok, you didn't know. Any other questions for me?
-
When did you stop writing "Nick" after your posts on the forum a long time ago?
-
That was a long long time ago. I dont remember exactly when I stopped doing it, likely in 2005 or 2006, or why I stopped, only that I did stop.
-
Any other questions for me?
-
Do you have a particular favorite game in the Mario Kart series?
I only just started playing those again after several years away from them. :P
-
I like at the Mario Karts I've played, but my favorite would have to be 64, followed by Double Dash. Mario Kart really needs a Tournament mode, where you race off based on how you did in the last cup. So if you finished 14th you'd race in a series against the third place finisher, and the difference in points would translate into a head start for the higher seed , with each point, meaning 1 second. Basically it would be a lap lead for the better racers.

If you could be a superhero, what power/supername/costume would you have?

guilty pleasures. hmm
well playing videogames for long stretches i suppose. i really get sucked into them, until I 100% them.
-
if i could be a superhero.. thats a good question firstly , most of the good names are already taken, as are most of the good powers. i think something similar to Mystique's ability to change into anyone and mimic their voices would be cool. the costume would have to conform to that ability, of course. the man with infinite faces, i guess would be my name, taking a cue from what was said about Orson wells.

thats a good question. rule of thumb in those matter is don;t intervene, its a domestic issue, and other people getting involved in domestic issues often ends badly. just ask cops who are asked to step in in such matters. people don;t like other people sticking their nose where it doesnt belong.
