Ninja.  Pirates are very bad people, and I can't understand why they're so romanticized.


Starship or time machine?

Time Machine. You can steal or buy a spaceship.

If you only had one band or composer to listen to for the rest of your life, who would it be?

I Twitter. I also occasionally blog on the Escape Pod blog, which if you're here you shouldn't have much trouble finding.

(I had to answer this before Raving_Lunitic did.  We know that answer.)

I would probably choose Eva Cassidy.  Her voice is hauntingly beautiful.

What is your best example of a movie adaptation of a novel that was better than the book?

Jaws. Without doubt.

If you were putting together the ultimate rock band, and had your choice of any musicians, living or dead, who would you pick?

Kunio Suma (of Bi Kyo Ran) on guitar

Yoshihisa Shimizu (of Kenso) on guitar

Keiko Kumagai (of Ars Nova) on keyboards

Tatsuya Myano (of Happy Family) on bass

Masayuki Muraishi (of Kenso) on drums.

If vocals are necessary, add Masami Okui.

PC I don't particularly like controllers for FPS games.  Though I love games like Skies of Arcadia.

=====

Dungeons and Dragons or Gamma World?

(and by the way everyone knows that in Ninja vs Pirate the zombie wins, but Zombie Pirate trumps all)

Got started on D and D but Gamma World has the flying cyber sharks.  You have to love the flying cyber sharks.

One author you think is horrifically over rated?

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I don't exactly keep it a secret  :D In actual fact I'm listening to the performance of Kid A from the 26th November 2003 Earl's Court right this very second. C'est super!

Over rated author? L Ron Hubbard. Never understood the appeal.

Best musical instrument?

No, not that.

What's a book you didn't like initially but if you maybe reread it, you think you'd like it a lot more?

Emma by Jane Austen.  Aged 18, I got into a loud arguement with my English teacher over the total lack of car chases and fighting.  I now see it's actually a very smart, very funny book.  Still don't like it but I...respect it.  We exchange manly nods across the squad room or...something.

Anyway!

Who plays you in the TV show of your life?

I would love it to be a young David Morse but it would probably end up being Donal Logue (or, in X-Files fashion - Garry Shandling).

Strongbow or Stella Artois?

(On the TV show of my life, David Graf would have been the choice, I've been told I resemble him.)

Pilsner Urquell!!!!  But if I had to pick one of those two, I'd probably go with Stella Artois.

Have you ever tried Monty Python's Holy GRAil?

I thought the smokiness from the burning witches was a bit much.

Sharks with lasers or monkeys with lasers?

I Twitter. I also occasionally blog on the Escape Pod blog, which if you're here you shouldn't have much trouble finding.

Sharks with lasers.  Kill off those damn Snorks once and for all.

List two positive things about the Ewoks.

Decepticons but only because their logo symbol or whatever was cooler, they were a bunch of a--holes.

Black Jack Justice or The Red Panda

Favorit of the Pod trilogy: Escape, Psudo, or Castle?  And WHY?

Pseud, because it's consistantly good and Al's outros are even better

What is the most disappointing film you have paid to see?

Man - despite his artistic pretensions, his sophistication, and his many accomplishments - owes his existence to a six inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains.

Dragon Wars (D-War)
biggest piece of shit ever.  went to see it cuz me and my younger brother were bored, and i figured the CGI might be cool to look at.  CGI was good, movie was so terribly bad it was past laughable.

Favorite video game to play?

Body Boarding at a remote beach in Mexico. I was in really good shape back then and I honestly thought I was going to die. One of my cousins actually yelled to me, "Dave, Help! I'm drowning."
