Zombie apocalypse starts tomorrow. What do you do?
I have a combat knife pretty close to my bed, but we all know zombies transfer their zany bloodlust through body fluids, so cutting isn’t really the best idea. I think I’d find the heaviest thing I can swing without dislocating both arms, and go to town on anything nearby (friends and family included, sorry guys). An aluminum baseball bat sounds great to me. There’s a 7/11 right around the corner, so I could stock up on and cook my own food (with those little hot dog grills) and just wait it out. Eventually, I’d probably dash back home for my laptop, and grill some wieners while watching movies and posting on the forums. Also, at some point I would hunt deer with my dog in a Shelby Mustang. You can only eat so many hot dogs.
What is your favorite outfit and why?
I have an Aqua Teen Hunger Force tee I will wear any day, any occasion. It’s always one of the first things I wear after laundry day. As well, I love my pair of appropriately-worn-but-not-too-hip grey(ish) jeans, black hi-top Converse, and a blazer I bought from Value Village, which Mike Fox shortened for me with scissors one drunken night. Also, my belt is plaid brown and opens bottles, and my sunglasses are yellow. Take that, fashion sense.
Thankfully video games haven’t incorporated commercial breaks like television, but how do you feel about some of the product placement of late?
I definitely don’t mind it when it’s appropriate, or done well. People don’t notice product placement in TV or movies all of the time, and that’s probably when it’s most effective and nonabrasive, so I would say it’s not a horrible idea. If it reduces the production price of games, it sounds alright to me. I know games cost more and make a lot of money when they sell well, but the video game industry is the form of media most sorely lacking in an ‘indie’ sector, and I think that the more accessible game creation becomes, whether some silly product placement is responsible or not, the industry will receive a much-desired boost in creativity.
An alien gives you the power to morph into any animal you touch. Which ones do you pick?
A grizzly bear would be difficult to reach, I assume, but it would definitely be worth the risk. A rhino would be pretty cool, because I could probably get up to one at the Zoo without freaking it out (or maybe I’d just rush it in bear form and put on the coolest fight anyone has ever seen). Other than those two, I’d say the only animals I’d want to be would be a shark or a hawk. Experiencing their speed and power in their respective territories would be a great rush. Basically I want to be an animal that moves really fast and kills things (or stamps out fires).
If I asked you to name a song you know all the words to, which is the first you think of?
Weezer’s El Scorcho. It’s one of my favorite songs on a great album. It’s probably one of the best love songs a guy can sing, too, because it’s honest about almost all of the emotions involved in a crush; fear, confusion, and a little hope. Also, I just played it in Rock Band.
