^ Anything to do with rhythm, athletics, dangerous machinery, or harmful chemistry.
< Dr. Nefarious' new eyes are creepier than all of Lombax Girl's fan-art put together.
v We've have Ratchet & Clank, Mass Effect, most of Star Wars, and little else; if you were to write a planet-hopping video game, what would the basic plot be and would you share a sample of locations, technology, or characters?

^ I'm not sharing an idea worth billions for nothing. Nice try on your part, nevertheless.
< My idea, it's actually worth a series of titles at least.
v Do you play the lottery frequently?

^ Heeeell no.
< Too frugal to even drive or get any kind of insurance.
v Thinks I'm taking it way too far.

^ Actually, with that level of frugality, you may be able to retire very comfortably when you are relatively young.
< I'm rather proud of him.
v If you could have an expertise in any one new skill, which would you select?

^ 80K vision, so I can see microscopic detail at room-distance.
< Will always fill these posts with exotic ideas, whenever they strike me.
v Did you expect a mundane answer like management or athletics?

^ No, but I expected something more interesting and useful, "Mr. Microscope."
< Being immortal and indestructible would be kind of okay.
v Do you have any specific diversion planned for this upcoming weekend?

^ Little more than the usual weekend routine; I'll mow a yard or 3, play more Wrath of Cortex now that I've upgraded from PS2 to Gamecube, listen to as much YouTube as possible, and probably buy more Lego the next chance I get.
< I have no idea what you mean, micro-vision would be fantastic for cleaning and pest control.
v Every few years, my parents and I (sometimes with Grandma) visit the zoo; in late October 2018, a little girl on the walkway overlooking the elephants asked her mom why that box said "BOO". The mom's answer about Halloween seemed to fall as flat as the box when an elephant stomped on it to get the grapes inside. Have you ever seen a zoo leave out holiday treats for their animals?

^ No, but was at the zoo a few weeks or so back and saw the seals and otters get fed...it was fish
< Love watching em swim through the water...so relaxing to watch
v What relaxes you?

^ painting a large canvas
< my largest was 4' x 8'
v Are you artistic?

^ If you mean art by way of some sort of drawing/paint, then no. I never evolved past cuneiform.
< Closest thing to art that I do is writing, though I have not done that for some time.
v If you were only allowed to re-watch three different movies a year, which movies would you choose the first year?

^ Alita: Battle Angel, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Pacific Rim.
< Then Lord of the Rings. Speaking of which, I'm way more forgiving than most of The Hobbit Trilogy's flaws, and I've consolidated all 6 movies into 3 8-disk blu-ray cases.
v Will mainstream film ever have a more wonderful waifu than Alita?

^ no comment
< Waifu, or WiFi, that is the question
v If you could have any gaming rig set up that you wanted (components that are currently on the market) what would be the specs?

^ The gaming rig would be a Waifu with integrated WiFi, obviously.
< I am sure she would leave me, because I'd firewall her to prevent the inevitable militarization update.
v Is "I, Robot" a good film or a bad film? Even after 16 years I'm undecided.

^ It's a good film but a bad adaptation; if the same production was applied to a more faithful script, there'd be no question.
< 20 minutes to go on Pacific Rim and Mom asks, "Are there tiny people inside the robots?"
v Every time Grandma comes to visit, they play Scabble together and I'm tasked with keeping Cloud in my room because she jumps on the table and threatens the board; she's bathing on my right shoulder as I type this.

^ I am certain that "Cloud" is a very fluffy cat that looks much like a visible body of very fine water droplets or ice particles suspended in the atmosphere at altitudes ranging up to several miles above sea level.
< most fluffy cats make my nose itch
v dog person, cat person, both, or neither?
