I agree with Just Cause 2, but never really got into Burnout Paradise. I found it slightly repetitive.

Do you have any medical side-effects besides the obvious height thing?

Pardon me if this is rude sounding, but what is the difference between a "Dwarf" and a "Midget" if there is one?

Have you ever/would you ever consider being on TV? There's a disproportionately large market for dwarf actors, though the available roles are sort of potentially degrading.

Also, are you a run-of-the-mill hypochondroplastic dwarf or one of the more interesting types of dwarf?

fun with some complications

What sort of benefits have you found as a cause of your dwarfism?

more people are nicer to me, and one time i got offered an alcoholic beverage one time at a restaurant without being asked my age because he didn't want to offend me. I turned it down because i was 14

Do you find this offensive at all? Or funny? Or just meh?

Meh.

Would you be more, or less likely to play as one of the "short races" in a MMO, if given the opportunity?
