Why is Kisume your favorite Touhou character?
Oh crap uh...
What specific aspects of Kisume are most alluring! :V
In truth, I have no real favorite. My last touhou sort have a 14 way tie for first place. But, let's talk Kisume. Firstly, she has the advantage of being overlooked and background. This means I can have a field day with her without it being too much of fighting the tide of fanon. As well, it's kinda implied that she's something of a hermit crab, and thus homeless/a drifter in the traditional sense, which lets me give her a hobo mystique. Also, she's not very powerful, so power doesn't define her character like it does with a lot of others, and means she has to be clever or sneaky to get by.
Will there ever be a Turkish release of the Z-Machines?
When they admit to the old ultraviolence they dropped on the Armenians, oh my droog.
Are you going to keep running Z-Machine after Iku Quest? If so can it be Yuuka Slaughters the Z-Machine Quest?
Oh, I'm always thinking 2-5 or more game ahead. They're be a few more Z-Machines yet. And no, none may know the Z-Machine secret.
Why do people think you're the old spice guy?
I'll take this one. Hello, Shadoweh. How are you? I'm fine. Excellent! Judging from your profile, you are a lady-type, and thus I feel doubly obligated to answer your question while I juggle these bouquets and ponder which one I will give to you today. This began a year or so ago, when Purvis pondered what Lord Tenma would be like. Quickly, he realized that Lord Tenma would have a powerful yet soothing voice, such as the one that is massaging your ear drums right now! Once this was realized, it quickly became apparent that Lord Tenma is in fact a ridiculously handsome black man, and he revealed his discovery to his friends. His friends, overwhelmed by this deduction of canon, quickly rewarded him with an avatar bearing my likeness. Ladytypes such as yourself have been confused since, it is perfectly understandable. Now, Shadoweh, please accept this Bouquet of Chocolate Roses, and we shall ride my jetski pteranodon into the sunset, where we shall proceed to have a lovely picnic.
Why the hell is your thread at 3 pages even though it was posted today?
That wasn't me, neezhnies!
Can you buy me a new computer so pesco will stop holding that DoTS game over my head?
You don't know what a hobo is, do you?
If you cant do the thing I just asked, Can I at least have a shotgun? It's totally not related to pesco or anything... :V
You don't know what a hobo is. Do you?
So did we EVER make it out of the Tomb of Horrors?
You're asking me if you survived a game of Paranoia.
Anyway.
What do you have against yellow UFO theme parks?
More like, I have a thing for ultraviolence on Stuffman
Also, how/why did you start the whole text adventure thing here?
The true origin began when Trance posted a thread in CPMC that was entitled "Guide Me Down This Barren Path", I jumped in and started parsing it. Things took off, and Part 0 was born. Then died.
Why?
I like big butts, and I cannot lie.
Always one thing I have been wondering about you is: Why do you type on IRC all your lines between * * ? ? ?
A mystery which must be solved!
It is part of a pact I've been involved in for quite a long time now.
How exactly DID Jeff K. Anon get to Gensokyo?
A shady new Yukari shrine conspiracy.
What is the origin of your Hobolovin'?
I'm not really sure. I think it's tremendously interesting that wandering uneducated vagrants, in the modern era, built up their own subculture, with art styles, a form of writing in hobo glyphs, slang, and were generally recognized. It's an interesting side effect of extreme poverty and misfortune.
Favorite game that we have never heard about?
That's a toughie; I so rarely have favorites. So...Xenogears, The Guardian Legend, Willow (NES)
What's your main job as an Acolyte around?
Largely I am participating in discussions on what to do about various problems that come up in the forum, and offering opinions on future developments when I have one worth sharing.
Snowdens of ye(ry
Yarbles!
You've logged more hours on this site than anyone else for this incarnation of the forums. What's a typical day like for you?
Really, I just never close the tabs ever. I wonder if I get double credit for having two tabs open at once?
I can never seem to decide between waffles or crepes for breakfast. How should I remedy this?
Pancakes. Or flapjacks if you have the right stuff. There are the hobo-approved flying food of the gods!
An alien from another planet lands on Earth. He shows up at your bedroom door. The first thing he says to you is, "Bring me the funk." What is the first album you recommend?
Ohio Players' Greatest Hits. It's hard to suggest any one starting point, really.
Why do you call it "Neohio"? What's "neo" about it?
Neohio formed after the apocalypse. Now its residents scratch for food and employment, embittered against all and sundry. And to the northeast the Amish flourish, for they were always ready for the world to become post-apocalyptic.
Why do you hate punk rock?
I find it, at best, extremely repetitive and boring. It's not really, to my ears, designed to be listened to so much as it's made to be played at people. Work into this a penchant for whiny whitey vocals (in tone, not message) that are virtually never pleasant, and it's really just an audio disaster. Even with bands that could sing, like Death back when the sound was being invented, the end result isn't moving so much as just kinda boring.
Who is your favorite Beatle, and why?
Lennon because he's dead. Not really sure. The beatles stood together, it seems rather like picking out your favorite part of a gattai robot to me.
Polar Star, Spur, Snake, or Machine Gun?
Machine Gun. I loves that hoverin'.
Which Z-Machine did you enjoy running most, and why?
All of them. Each had their own fun parts; whether it was Patchouli meeting the Angry Sun, Reisen breaking into the Lunarian Base, Utsuho finding the SCP objects, Maribel discovering Renko, or Iku dealing with the Brocken Spectre, each part has had things that have made me grin and I've waited to drop on the players with much anticipation.
Any news about the Orb of Zot lately?
I've been taking a break. Crawl has been very frustratingly fuck you in it's early mid game, and the realization I'm winning by raw luck rather than any applicable skill has drained my will to play, especially in light that the designers want to enhance this effect in v0.8. That and Radiant Historia and Dragon Quest 3 SNES has been keeping me busy.
You are appointed commander in chief of the entire world. This means you have total control over all of it's armies and countries. What do you do?
You know how right wing extremists crow about how there's a huge socialist conspiracy that'll socialize medicine, install a better social safety net, legalize gay abortions, kill the free market, and all that? That's me. I'm that guy.
Name a superpower you would want to have and why you would want it.
I would want the power to transmute substances into other substances, so I could turn gravel into gold and not have to worry about money.
What is your preferred weapon in a zombie apocalypse?
Shotgun for range, axe for melee.
Who is your least favorite Touhou?
Mima. No question.
Any tips on improv? Because if there's one thing to say about you, you're never caught without something to say.
Study the masters, play monkey island, inundate yourself with people very skilled with your momma jokes and other insults.
If you have SA, which shot type do you prefer and why?
I like Reimu A, because she hits like a speeding dumptruck.
How many languages do you know? Are there any that you want to learn?
I barely know my native tongue. I'd be happy learning Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, French, or pretty much any other major language used over large geographic regions or in highly influential nations.
What are your favorite genres of books, music, and video games?
For books, fantasy and comedy are favorites. So obviously I am a hueg Pratchett fan. When it comes to music, I like funk, rock, the more melodic kinds of metal, 80s hair rock, blues, soul, reggae, vidja game musics of all sorts, some electronica, prog rock, various forms of classical I am too dumb to identify, and so on. With video games, I like RPGs by heart, have a liking toward Roguelikes, and enjoy bullet hells when they aren't walling me in. I can play a lot of things outside of that and enjoy them, though.
You go out to get ice cream and all they have are mint chocolate chip, rainbow sherbert, and chocolate chip cookie dough. Which do you choose?
Mint or cookie dough, depending on my mood. They are two of my favorites.
