A. No

A. Male

A. D&D, risk, Go, Chess, Checkers

A. Sonic the Hedgehog on Sega Genesis

A. Yes, depending on the situation

A. POTBS combat meets EVE online; or maybe exactly what Beyond Protocol is, not much I disagree with there.

A. Spreadsheets, character builders (if available), and old fashioned pen and paper.

A. Raosk is a shortened from Ratatosk, a squirrel that lives in Yggdrasil, the world tree from Norse mythology, which I started using when I needed a second name or when my usual (Vigrid) was taken. Vigrid is the plain where the battle of Ragnarok takes place in Norse mythology, also known as Vigrond.

A. Either The Witcher of Psychonauts. Neither of them really got the sales they deserved for the quality.

A. Anyone who acts like a complete idiot, followed closely by people who think they know how to play every class in a MMO and try to micromanage a group (could be considered a subset of the former).

A. Community and access to higher level content. Not much to look forward to at the end-game without a guild usually, and solo grinding can get boring without guild chat. Access to content is secondary though, if you won't enjoy grouping with them no sense joining.

A. Sad and insufficient, it was top nearly top of the line 2 and a half years ago. By the end of the year it will hopefully be: Core i7 processor 4850X2 or the new 200 card 4 gigs RAM 2 x 1TB HD in raid 0 and whatever side parts seem best at the time

A. Whatever I happen to make at the time

A. Climb, dance, and mod

A. Unfortunately no

A. 40+

A. Can't remeber a specific one, but it's almost guaranteed to be on the EVE forums.

A. When it's outside the game rules it's a disaster for the game economy and a big reason why many games become harder to get into as time progresses. Unfortunately it's a cancer that will stay until people stop being lazy, which given human nature will be a while. If it's within the game rules and the game is designed to incorporate it I'll avoid the game if the gains have any effect on gameplay. But if it's pure cosmetics I'll just ignore it.

A. Far more enjoyable than PvE, but griefers quite often ruin the fun. People who don't understand what griefing is can be quite annoying as well.

A. Doesn't matter so long as you don't try to claim that's who you are in real life. If no one asks it's better to leave it alone, but once someone there's no sense holding that much of a deception.

A. The life-blood of a long lasting community. You may still be able to find a match in Halo four years from now, but there's not much of a connection between players. Communities like what exist around the elder scrolls games are rare without mods.

A. Fights in the POTBS stress test; nothing beats getting jumped by four better equipped enemies and taking three down with you. Whenever moments like these occur they're great really, especially if a game isn't known for tactics (playing a hunter in WoW for instance, people get suprised when you think) Also, a lot of cases back in pre-CU SWG come to mind, from hutning a krayt for three hours back in the seocnd month of release to building a giant killzone of three bases inside our player city.

A. Whatever is included with the game usually. If a game has a low CPU cost I might throw itunes on random in the background from time to time.

A. Don't try to force other people to roleplay, or to roleplay in your style, and don't purposely annoy roleplayers and everyone should be happy. Ideally keep off a RP server if you don't RP.

A. Destruction

A. Several games a year since late SWG beta

A. Yes, and I have a microphone

A. Too many to keep track

A. Yes, most likely in a design role if I end up going through with it.

A. Ninjas

A. Does my modem count?
