Q. Are you interested in working within the game industry? (Answer!)
A. Yes. Ever since I got into gaming (Role playing games specifically) I have wanted to write and create my own games. I even did some pseudo game-development projects, such as the creation of an 'Awesome Level Handbook' for the d20 system, with content to take characters up to level 1000 and beyond. Wicked cool.
Q. Why do you join guilds or clans? (Answer!)
A. Simple enough to answer that, to find people to group and play with who share similar interests (hopefully) or at least similar enough playtimes and gameplay habits.
Q. In real life, are you male or female? (Answer!)
A. Yes, but only when absolutely needed
Q. Beside GamerDNA, what are your favorite websites? (Answer!)
A. In terms of socially oriented websites (with a forum and community and all that) my next favorite would have to be Only-War.com; great site, great community, great moderators and other staff.
Q. What are your thoughts on player-made mods/addons for games? (Answer!)
A. Depends on the nature of the modifications. I am wholly against any mods or additions that can automate gameplay, provide an unfair advantage or otherwise remove the component of skill needed to play the game.
Q. If you could cancel any online game, which would it be? (Answer!)
A. Only one? Alrighty, I would cancel World of Warcraft. That game has become too focused on the grind and the small number of folks who can reach the 'endgame' content. It needs to just die off so perhaps a better Warcraft MMO could rise from the ashes.
Q. What are your thoughts on roleplaying in games? (Answer!)
A. Love it. Good roleplaying is a very enjoyable experience for all who participate. However you have to beware the dangers which lurk: RP Nazi's who claim that there is only 'one way' to roleplay, too-blatant homages to characters from fiction, taking things too seriously or getting 'too involved'.</p><p >Roleplaying is fun, but like all things in this world should be enjoyed in proper moderation. :P
Q. What music do you like to play games to? (Answer!)
A. All kinds actually, it depends on the game in specific and the content. Some games I enjoy the actual music made for the game, others I import or make use of my own. Sometimes I want some nice hard rock or metal, other times I want something more atmospheric.
A. Why isn't there a multiclass option?
Q. How do you feel about playing characters of the opposite sex? (Answer!)
A. No problem at all. Whenever I create a character in any game (not just MMOs) I try to come up with a theme or an idea/story for that character. Should a female character fit the notion I have for what I wish to play better, then that is what I would create.
Q. If you made your own game, what would it be like? (Answer!)
A. Awesome. Likely a Cyberpunk game entirely set within a single well-defined megacity.
Q. Have you ever had a romantic encounter with someone you met in a game? (Answer!)
A. Yes. However the relationship (such as it was) never progressed into 'real life' and remained virtual. It was not to be sadly.
Q. Other than your console or PC, what is the piece of hardware you can't live without? (Answer!)
A. Air Conditioner. It gets too damn hot where I live, sometimes even in winter.
Q. Have you ever had a memorable real-life meeting with other gamers? (Answer!)
A. Yes, but they were people I already knew IRL before knowing they were gamers.
Q. What sort of players annoy you the most? (Answer!)
A. Griefers, assholes, jerks... etc.
Q. What is your first computer or video gaming memory? (Answer!)
A. The text-only game "Adventure in Colossal Cave". Awesome. You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike! XYZZY!
Q. How do you feel about selling virtual items for real money? (Do NOT advertise RMT services!) (Answer!)
A. I hate them. They really can screw up the economy of a game and thus influence many other features as well. Ideally games should be designed so such services would not be perceived as needed by those playing them.
Q. How many hours a week do you play? (Answer!)
Q. What are your favorite tabletop (RPG, board, miniatures, etc.) games? (Answer!)
A. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, HERO, Dungeons & Dragons, Hackmaster, BESM, Cyberpunk... and many many more.
Q. If you could bring any book, movie or comic to life in a game, which would you choose? (Answer!)
A. Cybperpunk something, such as Ghost in the Shell or the like. Heck the original Cyberpunk game would make a great transition to an MMO I think. Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan.
