    Poll: Harry Potter problem

    I really would have liked for that kind of stuff (at least "Harry and Ron become Aurors") to be mentioned in the epilogue, rather than "Harry had a football team full of children named after dead people."

    The Setting Of The Last Game You Were In Is Your New Home

    Johto from Pokemon SoulSilver. I'm okay with this! I'm gonna go load up on Ultra Balls and assemble Team Murderbeast again.

    A side character who was better than the hero

    Yeah, I was always wondering why the hell Hermione wasn't the hero of the story. Harry didn't do shit. He just coasted through the story on virtue of being The Chosen One. He didn't ever research his enemies, or show a particularly huge amount of compassion, or really a lot of qualities...

    A side character who was better than the hero

    Every single side and secondary character from Twilight. There are actually glimmers of what *COULD* be cool stories in these people, and they had much more CHARACTER than either of the "heroes," who are both horrible characters. Jasper? Civil War veteran! I would've read the hell out of...

    So whats your dream Job?

    Librarian. Now if only I could afford that fancy master's degree... until then, I'm stuck with a basic certificate, which will allow me to be a technician at most. Which isn't bad, really; I like doing technician stuff. But I do want to know everything about library operations...

    You are the last human on Earth. What now?

    Mourn awhile. Work on my garden. Learn things to amuse myself. Write things down, so that whoever or whatever comes next may puzzle over it (as I doubt whatever comes next will understand English). Take pictures of architectural and artistic achievements, to document for the future. Read books...

    So, would you have done the same?

    I scoop spiders up on a piece of paper and put them out in my garden. They eat the harmful pests. They get dinner, and I get nice tomatoes. Win-win! It's the same with lizards and snakes. If I see them out in the backyard, I leave them alone, because they're probably keeping pests and mice...

    Cliches in books/movies/videogames that you're tired of

    1) The Prophecy/The Chosen One. So you get to be a hero with chicks hanging off his arm day and night, and tons of food and money and respect, just for not doing anything? I prefer the hero whose life has made him what he is. This is why I prefer Neville Longbottom to Harry Potter. Harry doesn't...

    Scariest sounds in games

    The screaming of the headcrab zombies in the Half-Life games. When it's played backward, it's even worse--you can hear them screaming for help and begging for the pain to stop.

    What will happen to your body

    I'd like to be thrown from a helicopter at random. Just pay someone to fly me around Flagstaff and the surrounding area for a couple hours, then, when the time runs out, chuck my body out of the door and let it stay wherever it lands. But keep the dogs away.

    An authors betrayal

    I absolutely adore Stephen King, but I always found myself a bit baffled at the last two Dark Tower books. I still like them okay, don't get me wrong, but they just went in sort of a weird and unexpected direction. I was also annoyed at how Randall Flagg, THE ARCHVILLAIN OF THE ENTIRE KING...

    Are re-makes ever better?

    Rarely, but it is possible. John Carpenter's The Thing was a remake of an old 1950s movie, and it's one of the best horror movies of all time. I think it all just comes down to the amount of effort, attention, and thought put into it. If it's made just to cash in and not add much to the story or...

    Stupid shit that people tell you cant do.

    "You can't use that chainsaw! You're a girl!" *****, I've been using this saw most of my adult life. I climb mountains with the damn thing and cut trees at the peak.
