Ask a Staffer Ep. 12 - Edible.

[Edible]

Are you the solution to world hunger?

Nah.  Sadly, there isn't a solution to world hunger.

What's the biggest thing you've climbed before?

I used to rock climb, so probably some mountain on the Appalachian Trail or something.

Does your room have a ceiling fan?

Why yes.  And it's running right now!  <3

Oh, I remember that.  It was Clue.  Murder-mystery movies aficionado indeed.

Yeeeeeeeeah. <3  That was it.  Nicely remembered.  My brain needs a tune-up.

What type of humor do you tend to enjoy? 

I guess I gravitate towards dry humor, but almost anything can be funny.  The single most important element of humor is timing.

You mentioned some music you like, but probably shouldn't (Jpop, etc.); do you own anything completely silly, or the like?

I own a whole bunch of walking sticks.  I also, on rare occasions, find myself inexplicably drawn to NERF guns.  They're still fun.

Edit: I also have a set of miyanaga saki bedsheets that I received as a gag gift from a good friend in Japan.  They're too small for my bed, but I've had them on my wall for a brief period of time before taking them down to due them being utterly ridiculous.

Play any other online games/multiplayer games/MMOs other than WoW?

[Edible]

Play any other online games/multiplayer games/MMOs other than WoW?

They come and go (just like WoW).  I go on TF2 binges from time to time, I was really into RO a few months ago, I played SF4 and SSF4 online for a bit, etc.

What if you were in a cartoon called Ed, Edd n Edible?

[Edible]

What if you were in a cartoon called Ed, Edd n Edible?

I would murder my siblings and refuse to partake in gigantic jawbreaker-related shenanigans, then pull my show off the air for more Johnny Bravo.

[Mimachiro]

What's the wildest party you've ever been to?

Ever fly before? Were you piloting?

John, Jack, or Jose?

[Fetch()tirade]

Do you like cheese?

What is the best thing since sliced bread?

Choose a superpower.

Your opinion on Spam?

[Edible]

What's the wildest party you've ever been to?

My first year living in a dorm was in a frat house.  I believe that speaks for itself.

Ever fly before? Were you piloting?

1) Rather often.  2) No.  Closest I've been is in military simulators.

John, Jack, or Jose?

Morgan.

Do you like cheese?

Cheese is the best thing to (eventually) come out of cows, and I fuckin' love beef.

What is the best thing since sliced bread?

Sliced cinnamon bread.

Choose a superpower.

I think theshim asked me this already; teleportation.  Saves on gas.

Your opinion on Spam?

Pretty good if cooked properly.

Are you satisfied now that beepdog.swf is irretrievably stuck in my head?

[Edible]

Are you satisfied now that beepdog.swf is irretrievably stuck in my head?

Nope.  It must be stuck in more people's heads.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Nope.  It must be stuck in more people's heads.

goddamnit Edible

Pretty good if cooked properly.

What were some of your childhood hobbies? Have any of them carried over as an adult?

[Edible]

What were some of your childhood hobbies? Have any of them carried over as an adult?

My parents refused to buy video games when I was a lad, so naturally I played far too many of them at friend's houses or whatever until I could buy my own.  <_<;  It kind of stuck.  I've been playing M:tG on and off since adolescence - mostly off nowadays, but that might count too.

Childhood hobbies that didn't really last - sports.  When I was very young I was everyone else's size, but as I grew older I didn't grow taller like everyone else, so my interest in physical activities began to wane quickly.  I was still 5' flat in 9th grade.

I was also a boy scout.

Top five best influences on your life? Top five worst influences on your life?

Favourite historical era/location, if any?

[Edible]

Top five best influences on your life? Top five worst influences on your life?

I find this a difficult question to answer.  How does one know which influences are better than others unless one can judge his own life objectively?

Favourite historical era/location, if any?

Gotta be Rome.

Other options include Holmes-era Britain, Three Kingdoms-era China, uh... recurring themes are go.

[Mr_Bob]

I was also a boy scout.

YES!  What was your highest rank?  What was your best / hardest trek?
You mentioned rock climbing, what are some of the things you like about it?

[Esifex]

Barehanded, knuckledusters, knives, daggers, swords, axes, hammers, staves, spears, polearms, halberds, longbow, recurve bow, crossbow, pistol, sub-machine gun, rifle, assault rifle, recoiless rifle, sniper rifle, rocket-propelled grenade launcher, missile launcher, top-mounted .50 calibre machine gun on a Humvee, Bradley Fighting Vehicle, M1 Abrhams MBT, jet, or helicopter.

Alternatively, small fleet of UAVs each armed with a Hellfire missile.


Which of the above is best for getting rid of persistent weeds? Your choice!

[Mimachiro]

Who was your favorite Roman emperor?

What do you think of Ancient Roman architecture?

What's your favorite building of those built in Ancient Rome?

[HakureiSM]

Played Recettear?

[Edible]

YES!  What was your highest rank?  What was your best / hardest trek?

This was a looooong time ago; I stopped boy scouting when I was in high school, so I never made eagle scout.

You mentioned rock climbing, what are some of the things you like about it?

I'll still attack a climbing wall now and then, just no actual cliffs.  It's fun, it can be done at your own pace, and it's as much a mental activity as a physical one, thanks to route planning and whatnot.

Which of the above is best for getting rid of persistent weeds? Your choice!

Can I equip any of the RPGs or missile launchers with thermobarics?  I figure an incendiary explosive is the best way to clear out weeds. <_<

Who was your favorite Roman emperor?

I always liked Gaius Julius Caesar more than any Emperor.  Given a choice, I'd probably say Augustus or Constantine.

What do you think of Ancient Roman architecture?

So awesome.

What's your favorite building of those built in Ancient Rome?

Probably either the pantheon or the colosseum.

Played Recettear?

Yayifications!

(Yes.  I beat the main story and have been meaning to go back and play more.)

[Kips McKipzerson]

If you are so Edible, what do you taste like?
Ever play any games that when you now look back at, were kinda shitty games?

[Edible]

If you are so Edible, what do you taste like?

I think someone asked this already.  Probably veal.

Ever play any games that when you now look back at, were kinda shitty games?

Without a doubt.  But if I found them fun at the time, there was probably a reason for it.  Bad games can still be fun.

[HakureiSM]

Touhou piano arranges?


Touhou violin arranges?

[Edible]

Touhou piano arranges?

Yes.

Touhou violin arranges?

OH GOD YES

Seriously, I love me some touhou eurobeat/trance/happy hardcore/etc, but sometimes a simple instrument arrangement can evoke emotions that a million electronic instruments can't.

[Kips McKipzerson]

Ever tried your hand at singing? Are you musically talented?
Water or Soda?

I think that's all my questions for now. oh and can i dib you in honey mustard on you plz because nothing that comes from a cow tastes good without honey mustard

[Bio]

According to a journalist who tried human flesh, it tastes most like veal but with a better texture. Coincidence?

[Whatthe]

What would you do if you met Inedible (yourself from an alternate universe)?

[Edible]

According to a journalist who tried human flesh, it tastes most like veal but with a better texture. Coincidence?

Nope.  I have no idea what I would taste like cooked, so I'll take prior experimentation instead.

What would you do if you met Inedible (yourself from an alternate universe)?

The same thing I do every time I meet myself from an alternate universe.

Try to take over the world.

[Mimachiro]

Does your mirror-universe counterpart have a goatee?

If you were to become a girl, what would you look like?

What's the fastest you've ever run and why were you running at that point in time?

[Edible]

Ever tried your hand at singing? Are you musically talented?

I've done a fair bit of stage work, so I can sing pretty well.  I can't play instruments, however.

Water or Soda?

Soda.  Heavily caffeinated.

can i dib you in honey mustard on you plz because nothing that comes from a cow tastes good without honey mustard

You may not.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWaQ2fxEF_M ?

Eh... not enough focus on the violin, imo.  TAMUSIC is kinda hit-or-miss.

Does your mirror-universe counterpart have a goatee?

I have a goatee, so probably not.

If you were to become a girl, what would you look like?

Hopefully free of facial hair.

What's the fastest you've ever run and why were you running at that point in time?

I used to do track, but I was a better sprinter than a distance runner.  Still wasn't very fast, though.
