What game are you currently playing?

I was playing Borderlands 2 like a mad man. However, Gearbox decided they were going to dictate how their fans should play their games. They lost sight of what's fun, and steered the franchise into a seemingly MMO direction. Balancing their non-competitive game, and directing them on the 'correct' ways to farm. I still have some love for them, but I think it's out of the slim chance that they'll realize their mistakes and rectify them. Wake up GB! It's not too late.

What game are you looking forward to that has yet to release?

Grand Theft Auto Cinco! Ohmahgerduguise! It's been entirely too long since there was an open world, free roam style game. It's exactly what this community needs. People get older and naturally drift apart, but there is a big handful of us that have been close friends for near seven years. It tears me up that we got this far, and now we decide to let life interfere. It's hard as hell finding good friends that you not only trust, but look forward to seeing on an almost daily basis. That's my GC family. I love you guys and girls. Sock life in the grill and come back to PK!

If you could be anything in the world what would it be and why.

Philanthropist. Having an impact on people's lives in such a positive way has to feel good. I like feeling good and I like to see people smiling and laughing. It also assumes I'm already super wealthy, so all the work is already out of the way. Work sucks the life from you if you're not enjoying something along the way.

What is your biggest gaming pet peeve when playing with others?

People who can't STFU, and feel the need to constantly talk. I don't know if it's a condition of mine or what, but when someone drones on and on, it all bleeds into one sound and it aggravates the hell out of me.

When you aren’t gaming, what are you doing?

Reading a book, surfing the internet, cycling, dead weights, spending time with my pup, Jasmine or talking to my friends who use Gamercide's mumble server.

Imagine that you live on a farm raising turkeys. A local bigwig chooses one of your turkeys for Thanksgiving dinner. You go to collect the turkey and turkey takes off running. You back him into a corner and he pulls a knife on you and says, "You touch my giblets, I will cut you". What do you do?

I immediately become his agent. A talking turkey? Holy shit! I'd be rich. Imagine all the endorsement deals. You'd see Angry Turkey all over. He'd have commercials, his own TV show and at least 2 movie deals. I'd probably kick his ass, too, for pulling a knife on me, because screw that turkey.

You are writing a novel about a love story gone wrong. Billy caught his wife Suzy in bed with his brother. Billy is now planning on cutting off his brother's peepee and stuffing it down his wife's throat while she sleeps as revenge You want to get publishers to take interest in it, so you have to write up a description of the novel in 10 words. What do you write?

(Wow, Siren! lol) Family love triangle to rival Fatal Attraction. Shit is cray!

What is your biggest gaming pet peeve when playing with others?

i dont play online...to many times have i gone online only to have some start swearing at me or flipping because im not a superstar. Needless to say after a few time you just say the hell with it.

When you aren’t gaming, what are you doing?

i play semi-pro football. right now im getting ready to play in FL jan19 for a national title

You just got done watching the Marble Hornets series on Youtube about the Slender Man. You are feeling a little paranoid and peek out your window. Upon peeking through the curtains that cover your window, you see him; The Slender Man standing there in his freakishly tall glory just staring your way. What do you do?

the tough choice would be what rifle to nail him with...where i live the men are men and the sheep run scared

You are walking home one night after your car broke down. You take a short cut through a cemetary. You are about half way through the cemetary when you hear a thump behind you. You turn around and see Edward from Twilight staring at you. He says, "I'm going to Sparkles on you". What do you do?

i have no idea what that means...lol...but at 325 god did not bless me with speed so i guess im takin one for the team

What game are you currently playing?

My gaming selection has been pretty limited for the past few years. I'm a rampant (read:addicted) League of Legends player as of right now. It's a MOBA clone of the original DotA from Warcraft 3. Little fun fact, it just became the most popular PC game in the world! Take that WoW players!

Besides that, I basically just buy a few games here and there that look interesting. As of recent, I've played some I Am Alive, Bastion, Sleeping Dogs (surprisingly awesome), and have just started Alan Wake.

What game are you looking forward to that has yet to release?

I'd say the top 3 games I'm looking forward to most are the new Assasin's Creed game, BioShock Infinite, the standalone Day Z game. They all look amazing.

If you could be anything in the world what would it be and why.

If I could be anything, I'd want to be a teacher. There's just something about spreading knowledge to people that really makes it surpass any other thing I would want to be. Well, besides a billionaire with no job, maybe. That would be pretty cool.

What is your biggest gaming pet peeve when playing with others?

I just hate it when people AFK in a game. Why would you start a game of something, especially a team game, and then leave? It's infinitely frustrating and it really starts to get to me after a while.

When you aren’t gaming, what are you doing?

Over the past few months, it's really only been working. I like to spend my weekends out with friends. Everyone is hitting that 21 year mark so things are good! I also spend a lot of time browsing reddit and have recently gotten back into a reading habit (thanks Avahra!). Currently about halfway through House of Leaves.

You are carving a pumpkin. You finish the pumpkin by carving the mouth. As you are admiring your carving skills, the pumpkin starts to talk to you. What do you two talk about?

We would definitely get into some deep philosophical conversation about life and death. I mean (s)he would only have a few weeks of life before they start to rot and widdle away. I may as well discuss some existential options to 'em!

You are at a costume store picking out a costume to wear to a Halloween party. You can only pick out a costume that is for the opposite s e x. What do you choose and why?

Definitely a sexy nurse costume. My girlish figure could pull that off perfectly. I just need boobs.

What game are you currently playing?

I just started playing Darksiders II last night after completing Torchlight II and the excellent Borderlands 2. Ask me that question every week and you'll get a different answer unless I'm stuck in a huge RPG, because I have an ungodly backlog (or queue if you want to use a different word) of games I bought on Steam. Around five hundred, almost all from sales and such, quite a few from bundles, so there are a lot of little ones I may never get to. I look forward to playing Dishonored next, then Max Payne 3.

What game are you looking forward to that has yet to release?

The biggest game I'm looking foward to would definitely be Grand Theft Auto 5. Rockstar makes great games, and I predict good times in free roam if we get back together like we did in Grand Theft Auto IV.

If you could be anything in the world what would it be and why.

Realistically an established author or some kind of game developer. I'd love to be able to create the media I enjoy. Unreasonably, an immortal/god/deity. Not that I believe in any of that, but that would take being able to create things to a whole new level. However, if humans are the ones capable of creating so much, from religions to civilizations, are they not the 'gods'?

What is your biggest gaming pet peeve when playing with others?

I have a couple and nowadays prefer a good single player story (and streaming/livecasting it) or cooperative games over competitive multiplayer. But when I do play competitive multiplayer, I guess I'd have to say people who take the game way too seriously are a pet peeve of mine. The kind of people who start freaking out if their team isn't in the lead, and won't be happy unless they win. If you're not having fun, what's the point?

When you aren’t gaming, what are you doing?

In terms of work, when I'm not gaming I work at Walmart doing Maintenance (cleaning), but may very soon switch to Truck Crew (unloading boxes from the trucks and pulling them onto the sales floor). In terms of other hobbies, I like to watch movies, watch anime, and read. I only really read when I'm away from home and electronics or I'd read a lot more, but I enjoy fiction, sci-fi or fantasy, classic or modern. One of my favorite series was Frank Herbert's Dune, but I also read very classic stuff like Journey to the West. I'm even considering trying to write something myself, having compiled some ideas I've come up with over time.

You were chosen to direct a movie based on your favorite video game. What video game is the movie based on, who would you cast as the characters, and would you change anything?

I'd make a massive budget Final Fantasy VI movie with Andy Serkis cast as Kefka. There are a lot of other characters to cast but I won't bother, and it won't matter anyways. With his acting skills and the source material, Serkis would steal the show anyways. It may have to end up as a mini-series to not bastardize the story into under two and a half hours.

In an urban legend fight to the death, who would win: The Slender Man, Blood Mary, The Clown Statue, or The Killer in the Backseat?

No one would win. They'd all stop fighting and have a tea party together or whatever the hell urban legend figures do in their free time.

In 5 words or less, describe your gamer self.

Vicarious, fun-loving player of everything.

What game are you currently playing?

I've been playing a couple of different ones...I've been playing some Skyrim, Lord of the Rings Online, and the xbox version of Settlers of Catan.

What game are you looking forward to that has yet to release?

I'm really looking forward to Bioshock Infinite. I really enjoyed playing the other two so I'm excited to see what they do with this one. Though, the pushing back of the date was a little disappointing. I also can't wait for Dishonored.

If you could be anything in the world what would it be and why.

Anything in the world? Probably an astronaut. When I was little I had a cat named Smokey and I used to imagine us going into space together and anytime a problem would arise Smokey would be the one to take care of it. Plus, it'd be nice to see space and be better at math.

What is your biggest gaming pet peeve when playing with others?

Kill stealing. It's frustrating. I don't usually play with others but when I do that's the one thing that gets me.

When you aren’t gaming, what are you doing?

When I'm not gaming...well, right now I'm packing the apartment to move. Other times I'm cleaning, crafting or painting, playing with my 3 cats, watching shows on netflix, or on the weekends working on the house my dad and I are fixing up.

You find a genie lamp laying on the street. You rub the lamp and instead of seeing a genie, a rainbow colored zebra pops out and says that you have one wish and you better make it good. What do you wish for?

My wish...to be able to live comfortably without a job for the rest of my life. It sounds lazy but I would rather be spending that time traveling, and spending time with friends and family.

You won a vacation to a private island, but you are only allowed to bring three things. What three things would you bring?

hmmm...The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien (to read while sunbathing), my digital camera (to take pictures while exploring), and my ipod (to provide a soundtrack for the trip)

What game are you currently playing?

Currently I'm playing quite a few games including the recently released Borderlands 2, Madden 13 and Darksiders 2. When I'm on the PC I've been playing Mechwarrior Online and as well as the excellent World of Tanks.

What game are you looking forward to that has yet to release?

A new Mega Man. Screw you Capcom. I'm also looking forward to the new Castlevania games (including the new 3DS one). I'd also like to see a new Metroid on the Wii U eventually.

If you could be anything in the world what would it be and why.

I'd like to have money to be a philanthropist. It'd be cool to be independantly wealthy, not have to work and just spend all my monies on upgrading and building new stuff. Not only that but I'd probably be remembered a lot longer after I finally kick the bucket.

What is your biggest gaming pet peeve when playing with others?

Intentional friendly fire. God I hate that. Team killing, griefing, blocking me in a corner. Any of that stupid crap. To this day I still get into arguements on Live with this guy I've been gaming with for what seems like forever. We used to play Chromehounds and he would almost ALWAYS shoot out my legs or my tank treads in the beginning of the match to cripple me for no reason. Was funny at first but it gets old real fast.

When you aren’t gaming, what are you doing?

When I'm not gaming lately I'm usually working long hours in the insurance business. In my free time I enjoy reading, painting, playing guitar, golfing whenever I can and spending time outside.

You are walking around town and you discover a panda bear sitting in a dark alley wearing sunglasses and sipping a nuka cola. After rubbing your eyes to make sure you aren't seeing things, the panda bear motions for you to come over. What do you do?

You do what the panda tells you to do. No questions. You do not want to piss off a panda bear, especially one wearing sunglasses.

If you could choose between winning a lifetime of free video games or winning the car of your dreams, which would you choose and why?

Depends on how long I have to live. If I know I'm going to die shortly I'm totally taking the car and doing some reckless stuff haha. Otherwise it's games all the way!

In 5 words or less, describe your gamer self

Panda power shouldn't be underestimated.

What game are you currently playing?

Nothing specific really, I suppose Crysis 2 will be next in line since I just got it on sale, and it shouldn't take long to beat.

What game are you looking forward to that has yet to release?

Grand Theft Auto 5 is probably the main one. I have to have that game. I would literally invade a foreign country just so that game would release early.

If you could be anything in the world what would it be and why?

I suppose the only two jobs that interest me are radio talk show host or a professional wrestler. Although most radio host make horrible money. Ever since I was a kid I wanted to be a wrestler, however I'm only 5'6 160 and the ones who make it big are 6'4 250+. I wish I could just win the lottery, keep my job for the insurance, and travel the world.

What is your biggest gaming pet peeve when playing with others?

Well I don't usually play with strangers, so the whole trash talking usually isn't an issue, but the one thing that does bug me while playing with friends is when we try to organize something and people want to goof off. We will all be lined up or preparing to do something and someone will shoot someone, or start a fight because they think it will be cute or funny, when they can just stand there and be patient until our organized gameplay is over then start goofing off.

When you aren’t gaming, what are you doing?

When I'm not gaming, I'm probably working or sleeping. That is a usual day but I like watching television series, and movies, so I usually wind down by watching a good show or movie. I read quite a lot at work since there is a lot of down time and I usually enjoy mysteries. I just bought a house a couple months ago and I found out I enjoy doing yard work, so I'm usually out in the yard doing something during the day. I just bought a new bike for exercise so maybe I'll get into that too.

If Jason Statham was standing right in front of you what would do?

I would like to say I'd just shake his hand and get an autograph but that wouldn't happen. I would have to fight him. He is the greatest warrior in history. Statham is the only person worthy to fight me. So if I were to die by his hands I would be happy and I would like to think he would feel the same. They would have to evacuate a large radius though so there aren't any casualties. There would also be a long dramatic dialogue between us before the battle, we finally found our equals. It would be glorious.

If you have a super power: a) how did you get it what exactly is it c) what do you use your powers for, good, evil, or something in between?

I'd have to say teleportation. I would like to think it would be like the story line in heroes where everyone has the ability to have super powers, but they inject the person with shot to bring the powers out. So I'd like to think I got it from a mad scientist some how but the serum is destroyed. I would first rob many banks and stash my money somewhere. I would buy me a kick ass house somewhere in the country, by a kick ass outfit, something full bullet proof, then I would use my powers for good. I would use it to hunt down terrorist and bad guys. Until I met jason statham of course and we would do battle, and I would be labeled a villain, because I would be the hero the world deserves, I wouldn't be the hero the world needs right now, because I'm not a hero, I'm don knotts bitch, the grumpy protector, i'm green grenades.

What game are you currently playing?

I’m perpetually playing WoW. I just finished playing Silent Hill Homecoming and just started re-playing Final Fantasy IX, which is one of my all time favorites. I’ve been feeling nostalgic so I have plans to replay FFX-2 and Kingdom Hearts soon. Silent Hill HD is in my “soon” queue, too.

What game are you looking forward to that has yet to release?

I’ve preordered Sims 3 Super Natural and WoW Mists of Panderia. I’m looking forward to the re-release of FF14. FF13-2, Assassin’s Creed 3, Sims 3 Seasons and Borderlands 2 should all be out soon. Is there a new Cooking Mama coming out? I’ll play the crap out of that. I just freaking love games. Answers subject to change after PAX 2012.

If you could be anything in the world what would it be and why?

A unicorn because I heard you get to fart rainbows and poop perfectly cooked bacon.

What is your biggest gaming pet peeve when playing with others?

When my mom comes in and yells when I’m playing Halo and everyone hears. It’s super embarrassing. Seriously though, I hate playing with angry people who yell nonstop about how badly you (I) play. I hear it all the time because I suck at games. Was it really my fault that we wiped the raid for the 5^thtime? Probably. Will my Halo driving skills be magically better if you yell about how bad I am at it? Probably not.

When you aren’t gaming, what are you doing?

I guess I’m knitting, though I have plans to quit knitting for a while and take up something new. Maybe quilting because the world is woefully lacking gaming themed quilts.

Here is a gallery of some of my sweet knitting creations. I am a scarf knitting fool.

What dead politician, celebrity, author, etc…..would you like to have a dinner with and what would you discuss?

I actually put a lot of thought into this and in the end I realized that I’d love to have the opportunity to watch more than discuss. I’d love to see a real Shakespearean play staged in his life time. I’d need the T.A.R.D.I.S. though or I’d never understand a damn thing. I’d also love to see the court of Queen Elizabeth the First.

If you were being stalked, Michael Myers Halloween style…. What would you do?

The only way to beat a stalker is to out stalk them. I’ve played enough Tenchu Z to know that the right way to handle an enemy is to hide on a roof top until he passes then jump down all stealth like and slit his throat from behind.

2. What game are you currently playing?

Was playing Skyrim... Currently playing Skyrim... Will be playing Skyrim... So good and very addicting. Will probably only get better after I play some mods for it and eventually get Dawnguard.

3. What game are you looking forward to that has yet to release?

Ask PK the same question and I'll probably agree with his answer.

4. If you could be anything in the world what would it be and why.

I like me as is, although it would be pretty sweet to fly. Sure make traveling easier and you wouldn't have to deal with crazy drivers.

5. What is your biggest gaming pet peeve when playing with others?

Loud music over voice chat... I'm sure the song's great but it doesn't do justice over chat as about all music sounds like crap over a headset.

6. When you aren’t gaming, what are you doing?

Either at work programming or in front of my computer programming. My top android app is Amazon Free App Notifier and my top Desktop program was Imgur Album Downloader with both receiving 1000s of downloads. I'm currently working on an open source program Reddit Image Downloader and it should turn out to be the best program I've written yet. I find writing desktop applications and Android apps a lot of fun so if you ever have a cool idea swing it by me and I might be able to make it happen.

7. If you were to take over the world, what would be the first thing that you would do?

Free tacos for everyone? Force EA to never release day one DLC? Give everyone a kick-*** gaming computer? Make Gabe give us Half Life 3? Promote world peace? If I took over the would why couldn't I do it all at the same time?

8. If someone ran up to you and yelled, "The sky is falling!" and you look up and it is, what would you do?

First I would probably be the crazy one who would stay outside for a little bit and take pictures (If tornado sirens go off, I'm one of the first people to run outside. ) Then I would attempt to find shelter and prepare for Fallout, Midwest Style (Sure, it's not nuclear, but who knows what would really happen ).

Borderlands 2 without a doubt. I'm also looking forward to FIFA 13 and Assassin's Creed 3.

Griefing. I hate it when people grief. I also hate when someone has music blaring and their mic picks it up. Rude much.

8. If someone were to turn you into a unicorn with a diamond encrusted bacon horn what would you do? Would you try to eat your new horn?

Gah. I'm always playing WoW. I have also been playing some DIablo3. However, D3 has the tendency to piss me off and I find that I don't enjoy it as much as I should so I quit. I've slowly started playing xbox again..kinda sorta. Zuma, Quarrel and other arcade titles.

3. What game are you looking forward to that has yet to release?

I got a wee bit excited over the Halo 4 announcement. Mists of Pandaria for WoW and i'm sure there are others that I am blissfully unaware of.

Realistically? A published Author. In the land of pretend I'd be a shape shifter so I could spy and shit on peoples heads as a bird.

5. What is your biggest gaming pet peeve when playing with others?

There's a couple,. The biggest one would have to be when my gender gets involved. Tits or gtfo? How about you show my your dick first.

I also dislike playing with people who don't speak English. (Shallow, I know but it's miserable not understanding others)

I'm likely saving lives, or harassing the general pubic. Sometimes I'll be writing or reading..or naps. I love naps.

Build an awesome throne.
