Hmmm...

What would you do with a Klondike bar?

If you found yourself stranded on a desert isle with nothing but sand and a roll of duct tape, how would you survive and eventually escape?

If MSP was ever able to get within 200 yards of your sister, how would you dispose of him?

If you were an animal, what would you be?

Black market ops.

I'd fashion a duct tape swimsuit and make for the shore. Yes, it's possible to make a swimsuit out of duct tape. I've seen it, man.

If MSP was ever able to get within 200 yards of your sister, how would you dispose of him?
Challenge him to a duel, then have him shot. His body would be dropped off in the gutters of New Mexico. You heard me.

If you were an animal, what would you be?
A human. Yeah!

What's your favorite anime song?
That's a hard call, as I enjoy so many. I'm going to have to go for Shiki No Uta, the ending theme for Samurai Champloo, and possibly Fate/Stay Night's Disillusion intro. Both are beautiful pieces of music, whatever you may think of their respective series.

What's your favorite academic subject?
Western History. Jih, don't mess with me.

Who is your favorite wrestler?
I'mma gonna say Hulk Hogan. Not because he's one of the more widely recognized names in wrestling, but because I heard a clip of him ranting before a match, and it was ludicrously hilarious.

Have you ever seen wrestling at all?
Saw one brief snippit while flipping channels. Very entertaining in the sense that bad films are entertaining because they're so terrible, except that those go on to cult status. It didn't even have the flair of a regular match, just a bunch of obviously set-up stunts and falls between suspiciously unfit looking men. And sweaty too.

*Abruptly changes channel.*

If you knew you were going to die 24 hours from now, what would you do?
Wouldn't be lounging around taking questions and answers, would I? Probably just try to mentally prepare myself for the experience, if I even could. Not exactly the sort of knowledge people wake up with.

What's your favorite kind of meat?
Seafood aside, I'm a major fan of barbecue ribs, which I demand be needlessly messy in both preparation and consumption.

What are your top three video games?
Already been asked, but I'll reiterate my choices and expand it to my top 5 games.
  • Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater - Hideo Kojima, you are a mastermind. People like Roger Ebert argue games will never be art, will never carry their own in terms of storyline. Well, Kojima proved him dead wrong. An excellent game, and the ending is nothing short of brilliance.
  • Final Fantasy IX - My first taste of Final Fantasy was also my favorite. I'm also banking on Square one day remembering they have more games than just FFVII to profit off of. And if you want to talk villains, I staunchly believe that in any given battle, Sephiroth < Kefka < Kuja, and I will defend that claim.
  • Red Alert 2 - Simple, crisp, and effective RTS with an excellent sense of style and alternate history. If only the allied campaign had been as intricate as the Soviets'. This game plus a couple of friends of LAN, and your set for the afternoon. Still waiting for RA3, though...
  • Full Throttle - A well done, niche adventure game most of you have probably never heard of. The game's only major flaw: too short. But having the voice of Mark Hamill is suitably trade-off. Can't beat a Corley.
  • Sonic & Knuckles - Lava Reef Zone, people. That's all I need to say.

What's your favorite store to go shopping?
I'm not a fan of shopping, not for anything; food, games, movies. I'll go with a purpose, mission from God, or not at all. The lone exception to this rule, is bookstores. The Manga section is my out-and-about sanctuary.

Cover college costs. With what's left, I'd cash in my savings account, where I keep most of my money, till I had need for it. Coincidentally, some of it would be sponged up in my monthly Compassion Project offerings.

No preference, though I have had bad or tasteless dishes at choice notorious restaurants.

Of course, but first, do you mean denomination-wise, or by some other scale? Sorry, I'll answer as best as I can after you can clear that up for me.

Any particular reason for the username?
I should probably start off with "No," as I honestly just decided on it out of the blue, although afterwards I realized how suitable it was. Obviously, I love seafood, one of my favorite selection of dishes. And I also love the ocean; not so much the beach, just the ocean itself. I occasionally like to take long strolls by the ocean just to clear my head. And my zodiac sign is Aquarius (though I personally don't believe in the zodiac, it's just a nice touch). And of course, watching Barney Miller with my Dad, I think a name like "Fish" rolls off the tongue nicely. I could never stand for these people with unpronounceable usernames.

On FFIX: what's your favorite character/party? Have you fought Ozma?
I think if I had to narrow it down, I like Steiner. Just because he takes a lot of flak for being himself. He's a knight, and in RPGs, knights usually come off as a noble, justice-minded class with flair and skill. Meanwhile, Steiner's a hack, clumsy, cantankerous wash-out, way past his prime, and trying to do everything he can with what little skill he has, while still holding up his own classical image of justice and trying to take himself seriously. I think it's an interesting change from the whitewashed view of knighthood, and more importantly, I think Steiner is a useful character (tank class FTW), and a hoot to have in the party ("Scoundrel!"). Would that the game gave him a little more screentime and development, though it's nice to see him loosen up later in the game.

And of course, Zidane's a useful character, but everyone likes Zidane because he's the chipper, lovable rouge. Vivi's another popular choice, and although I enjoyed him as a character, I found his uses limited later in the game. And I don't have so much of a set "Perfect" or "Favorite" party so much as I solemnly say this: when it comes to level grinding, Quina Quen. There is no other option.

No, I haven't faced off against Ozma. I never even found the Chocobo Air Garden. Both these things I'm hoping to retify when next I play through the game.

Whose line is it, anyway?
It should be Colin and Ryan's. Those guys need to release a comedy duo album or something.

Denomination is fine, so long as you feel it more or less represents what you believe. Some people really like to list schools of thought (preterist, Gnostic,dualist, Augustinian, etc) and I wanted to leave that option open as well. You could also answer the following sub-question: which set of religious issues do you think are more important, those stereotypically liberal or stereotypically conservative?

Alright, thanks for the clarification. I didn't want to ramble on if it was on the wrong subject.

Well, I've been raised in a Presbyterian home, but I honestly don't consider myself anything beyond pure Protestant. I consider most denominational issues to be inner-church politics not worth the time it takes to even consider them, just another cause of strife to separate believers. I do think of Catholicism as a legitimate "Separation," but this has little baring on the fact that we're still all Christians in the end. As for the Bible, I believe that can be both prescriptive (Go forth an do likewise) and descriptive (How it is/occurred) at different points, and that anyone seriously bent on thinking about it or discussing it should bare these two divisions in mind and be able to tell the difference (you have no idea how many times I've seen Atheists use descriptive passages as if they were prescriptive in arguments. It's laughable). And for the book of Revelation, I consider it prophecy that should affect how we live in the present, but that it cannot be fully interpreted as it hasn't happened yet.

what is your life's dream?
Well there's this one dream where I'm trapped in the ventilation system of a pasta factory and...

I'd consider myself a story teller, and I have a natural nack for writing, so it seems fitting that I should combine the two. Aside from this, however, given my long-running appreciation for animation, I would like to see it become a more respected, popular medium in my lifetime, and would like to focus some of my efforts on that.

Thank you for your response; it was very much what I wanted to know. On the whole we can high-five regarding our theological opinions as well.

This is a distinction I wish was emphasized more today, so it is good to see you have a clear grasp of it. I also find it odd that so many atheists act as though they believe taking random quotes from a complicated book of many genres is a good way to judge its value.

Anyway, I'm out of questions for the moment, but I shall lurk in order to learn more.

I've been active on the Internet roughly three years now, and let me assure you: in a debate, anything can happen. The right snippit of the wrong verse thrown into an argument can cause Christians to panic, not to mention such ripping is the source of most "Contradiction" sites and lists I've seen. Of course, the nice side to this is if you can counter, you've successfully foiled their plans.
