    Most horrifying fictional apocalypse.

    Yeah that would be mine too because it's just bleak. No hope. I played I Am Alive and thought a lot of that was taken from The Road. You get such a "what's really the point, it never gets better" mood going.

    If you could say anything to yourself from the past, what would you say?

    Life is short. Bake more brownies.

    A thought experiment.

    Way cool, yeah I had to look up Lorenz. The results, no matter what the random nature of the parameters, still fall into a range, right? Did I get that correct? Anyway, another interesting thing is your first line which is are humans fundamentally unpredictable. Yes, no, sometimes. But we all...

    A thought experiment.

    But as soon as you become part of cyberspace, or "code", you also give up the unpredictability. The simple fact is no AI will ever be anything remotely human or random. It just can't. There is always a first line of code. It will repeat. Therefore it is predictable. The greatest thing about...

    What will you name your children?

    Wanted "Atomic Bomb _____ " for a boy. Wife threatened divorce. I said it is the perfect college quarterback name though, first round piok for sure. I still lost.

    Poll: Mothers and fathers on Escapist. I need your opinion!

    Have you read The Road? That'll scare ya, but it's got a lot of that. http://www.amazon.com/The-Road-Cormac-McCarthy/dp/0307265439/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0

    Show off your keyboards!

    Now we know why chicks dig us so much. How could they resist? I know I can't. I'm going to Staples and I'm going to buy something. Nobody start a thread on mice or today is going to cost me a fortune.

    So I played Gears of War for the first time in my life.

    That's the truth. Horde, especially in GOW3 when you get bosses at certain levels, is sick fun.

    What is the Oddest Thing That Has Turned Up Around Your Home?

    OK we were standing on a sandbar about 50 yards offshore. This neighbor kid, a girl about 15, was out there with some tourists around. A pair of fins surface, big ones, dorsal and tail, one large fish-- she goes, "hey, look at the huge dolphin!" And I said very calmly, "That is not a dolphin...

    What are your gaming gaps, & are they getting longer or shorter?

    Alright, been curious about this since the 90s. I play for a while, then go a bit without really turning on a console or even looking for anything online. Then I get back into a game or games pretty heavy for a few months. Then fade away again. It used to be like 3 months off, then game for a...

    Bethesda's Endless Summer Surfaces in Australia

    I'm a surf guy and it's pretty lame they'd poach that title. It means a lot to us. The films are iconic, and that's just too creepy of them to not know that or try to taint it.

    Making an effort to like something

    I tried that with Dead Island a few times. It's a cool environment, it's pretty interesting, but the combat is a chore rather than fun. I don't have one thing I want to do to keep me going -- the weapons are boring, the driving is boring, the fetch missions are the same. I need a reason to go back.

    Any other artistic/musical failures about?

    Hey I'm going to throw 2 cents in here and I know it's not the same thing. And this is going to be all the BS about how it's the journey and not the destination. You've both got talents that 99% of humans would kill for, you paid your dues, learned the craft, and none of the rest of us will ever...
