    Never forget your first...

    NBA Jam for the Sega Megadrive. God I was terrible at that game... "From doooowntowwwwn!" *le sigh*

    What would you name your children?

    I'd call them poopfeast420, regardless of gender.

    Women: your view on facial hair on men.

    Well I'm not a woman, but I'll put in my two bobs. I think this video by hit Australian band "The Beards" sums up my opinion on beards quite well.

    If you could instantly gain one REALISTIC ability?

    This. I wish I could stick to something and work at it without getting distracted a few days in... huh actually you know what. Sitting around wishing I was motivated or wishing I could speak fluent Korean and actually become a proficient singer-songwriter won't get me anywhere. And with that, I...

    National identity and the escapist

    OI! OI! OI! *ahem* There we go. So Australia's pretty awesome. Although, I *am* half-Brazilian as well, which means I get dual citizenship. So while I love Sydney and all of... I do miss Brazil immensely. Partly because I'm missing out on... ... but mostly because I'm missing...

    Poll: Pull ups. Have you ever done one?

    Although generally speaking I'm not really into the whole physical fitness thang (to my detriment, I know), I've always been able to pull-ups pretty easily. There must be something wrong with you, Mr OP.

    18 years old

    On my actual 18th birthday? I had my trial-HSC (mid-year finals for Australia) exam for French. So that was a pretty horrible day. On my 18th birthday party though that following weekend? I don't remember all of it, but I had a party at my place, during which I threw up on my then girlfriend's...

    KONY 2012 [seriously important you guys check this out]. Now with more facts!

    Okay before I get my head bitten off, yes Senor Kony is a terrible ass-hat and the LRA has done some horrible things, and any donations made to any charity which helps developing African nations from avoidoing these kind of horrible acts against human rights (although I think your money would be...

    Poll: If you were legally allowed to sample human flesh, just once - would you?

    I'd probably do it if the person it came from wasn't dead and obviously consented to it. So like, say they just sliced off a bit of their rump, and they were fine afterwards. Albeit slightly rumpless. But yeah, in that incredibly unlikely scenario I'd eat it.

    Nuclear Energy?

    I think Australia should really get on this whole nuclear energy thing. We have wide, desolate, uninhabited expanses of what is basically desert, which gives us a convenient place for waste storage and lessens the impact of a disaster (unlikely as that would be). It's got lots of uranium sitting...

    Poll: You're a virgin, would you rather your first time be with another virgin or someone with experience?

    Speaking from experience, I'd rather an experienced individual. Two virgins together makes for an embarrassing, confusing, painful (for one of the parties involved) and generally awkward experience. All of that stuff about wanting your first time to be special and beautiful never really happens...

    What you like about yourself

    I guess... I like that I'm fairly clever? I like the fact that I can speak 4 languages semi-fluently, because I get to interact with a lot of people I wouldn't otherwise (coz really, the French are very lovely if you speak their language, despite what some people have experienced). I like...

    Games that made you cry

    Well... there was the moment in KOTOR right near the end when Bastila Shan confesses her love to you... what can I say, I was a lonely kid? And, basically every half an hour of Bastion brought forth a tear or two. The music in that game makes it so much more emotive... if you want a specific...

    What Music do you Like?

    So many Escapists seem to favour the hardcore metal-y rocky kind of tunes, I always feel a little bit out of touch whenever these threads invariably appear. I don't know, that style of music doesn't really do it for me I guess? Myself, I like most Latin styles, particularly flamenco (Rodrigo...

    Skyrim on Rememberence Day

    Yeah, it's Rememberance Day here in Australia too. It's not a public holiday, but everyone sort of recognises the fact. I won't really be in much of a state to remember though. For me, Skyrim comes out on the day I have heart surgery. Yaaay! Thank you to my cardiologist for his horrible timing...
