Q. What sort of players annoy you the most? (Answer!)
A. Ignorant ones. And very dumb ones too, but mostly it's a combination of the two.

Q. What are your most memorable achievements in a game? (Answer!)

Q. If you could bring any book, movie or comic to life in a game, which would you choose? (Answer!)

Q. What is your first computer or video gaming memory? (Answer!)
A. We had an old philips entertaining system which could be connected to the tv and had pong like games. Later we got a commodore 64 which had Burgertime and Oeruhm (not sure about that last name). Also Taxi and pitfall are first games I remember playing and liking.
A. Yes, and I have a microphone
Q. What experience do you have beta-testing games? (Answer!)
A. I have played in several beta's so far. Mostly the open ones, although I got in a partial closed beta for Hellgate. It's hardly any testing at all, since they are just stresstesting while the players get to see what the game is like. It's also mostly marketing techniques to get people hooked before it releases.<br>I like doing it though, good way to get a good first impression.
Q. Beside GamerDNA, what are your favorite websites? (Answer!)
A. Guildcafe isn't really one of my favorites (yet?). I like to visit the guildforums and gamespot. Also I check the weather and news online a lot. Ctrlaltdel-online.com is also very nice to check.
Q. Do you feel relationships within games are meaningful? (Answer!)
A. Of course, any relationship is meaningful. You just have to value it properly. A romantic relationship needs more then just a similar interest in slaying orcs or goblins :P
Q. Why do you join guilds or clans? (Answer!)
A. For guildchat and to be able to start groups easier.
Q. How do you feel about playing characters of the opposite sex? (Answer!)
A. I hardly ever do. I mostly consider it deceiving myself, so I don't like to deceive others.
Q. In real life, are you male or female? (Answer!)
Q. Are you interested in working within the game industry? (Answer!)
Q. What music do you like to play games to? (Answer!)
A. I just listen to the radio. 80s 90s and modern music. Although Enigma worked wonders in the past for any RPG game.
Q. What are your thoughts on roleplaying in games? (Answer!)
A. It's fun if enforced for everyone. Else it's just a matter of time before a fool ruins your game.
Q. What are the specs on your gaming rig? (Answer!)
A. I've called it meanmachine. But it really isn't anymore. So time for Meanmachine II ;)
Q. What do you love or hate about PVP? (Answer!)
A. PvP is good for the thrill. You never know if someone will jump on you and hit you hard. However if there's nothing to lose, then that soon goes away.
I really hate when people try to make playing impossible by continious killing. Pretty lame too.
Q. Other than your console or PC, what is the piece of hardware you can't live without? (Answer!)

Q. What is a feature you would like added to GamerDNA? (Answer!)

Q. When you are not playing games, what do you do for fun? (Answer!)
A. Reading, watching tv, going out for dinner, movies, playing board games or does that count as games too?
Q. Do your quiz results on GamerDNA reflect your personality, and if not, what did it get wrong? (Answer!)
A. Somehow I don't think I am really colorful-disciplined. And it probably went wrong there with all the "funny" answers.
Q. What is the most memorable flamewar you can remember? (Answer!)
A. Something about PvP and people trying to ruin a game. Good old mud style :)
A. I am not sure what this question wants to achieve. I play with mods if a game allows them to enhance my user interface. That's about it.
Battlefield 1942 (PC)
Call of Duty 4 (PC)
Dungeons and Dragons Online (PC)
