    What do you think of soldiers?

    I've been there and served in the Royal Australian Navy in my younger years and got to say everyone I met there can honestly be compared to people I met with my girlfriend during her University studies: Jocks, Nerds, Adult learners, Childish people etc. etc. Every member there was there to do...

    Bioshock Infinite: Favorite weapon

    A lovely mix between the Carbine and the Sniper Rifle... Long range hair cuts, medium to close range rat-a-tatta kills. Mix this with the Electric Vigor and you'll pop every head in Colombia to pieces, hahahahaha (end evil cackle)

    What game got you into gaming?

    Its probably not the first game I played, but it impacted me enough to get me into games (even though my old man was a gamer nut already at the time) was Baldur's Gate, he got it when it was originally released and I just played it once or twice and for some reason it's just BANG stuck up there...

    Do you have respect?

    In my line of work, as a Public servant in times of Duress (flood and road crash rescue) I need to both show and been shown alot of respect, as when I don't things go wrong, the community stop listening to me when I give them advice and generally, it makes life harder if you don't have or give...

    "Get a life!"

    Heard it many a time, but to each their own reasons for the lifestyle they choose, I know a fair few people that live as introverts due to a phobia, injury, worklife, etc, and its not an issue for them, they (usually) have everything they want or need and lead happy lives. Hell, some people...

    Most tear jerking moment

    Funnily enough, it wasn't a game, movie, song, etc, it was an actual event. Massive floods in the top end of Australia in Jan. last year and I was deployed up there with my division to do rescue work. Walked into a township, totally destroyed, but that wasn't the worst part, there was this...

    The year is ending...what's your greatest accomplishment?

    Either completing and passing my Road Accident Rescue qual. or attending the floods in Queensland and surviving it. Its been a pretty bloody busy year

    Which friend are you?

    I'm the Smart ass, but with a fair amount of intelligence as well, always throwing ideas (that work) around while still be sarcastic and egotistical.

    911 = police?

    Here in the Great Aussieland we have: 911 - general 112 - any network 132500 - Flood Rescue and probably a dozen bloody others (its confusing because all these phonecalls goto the exact same call centre anyway)

    Are you violent?

    Depends if I'm working or not. At work, my Commanding officer tends to tell me who to get violent at, so I leave it up to the higher up's to think for me. At home, yeah, probably, if someone even -thinks- about disrespecting myself, my family or attacks my younger family members, I either...

    Poll: would you die for your country?

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure that it said somewhere in my enlistment papers that I'm to fight and possibly die for Australia, so I probably should say yes. Plus, there's a hefty $100,000 profit if I do! But I'd prefer the 'other' side's people to die for their's.

    If you could pick ONE game from your past to remake, what would you choose?

    Twas mentioned in the first page, Arcanum: Fantastic game with some hiccups including slightly lackluster combat, but an enjoyable game and an actually interesting setting. If not that, Baldur's Gate 1 and 2: Give it a modern look (even though the graphics have aged pretty damn well)

    Deadliest injury you have caused to another human?

    On deployment in Timor my section was attacked on patrol, three rounds in in first fella I lined up. Thankfully, that was my last patrol before shipping home, so I was able to skip out on anymore tours and deal with the fact I just shot someone to death
