• Five Questions, Answered

  It seems that a fun new game is spreading through Xanga; I picked it up from Axis_of_Doom. Basically, per request, you are given five questions to answer on your blog. After answering them, you have to give five questions to anyone that asks for them in your comments, and they must post them with their answers.

  1. Who are some of your favorite bloggers?
  This is a rather straightforward question. I read more than a few blogs, even though I don't know all the bloggers. Outside of Xanga, I most frequently keep up with:
  http://kotaku.com/
  http://www.sankakucomplex.com/
  http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/
  http://www.gamepolitics.com/
  http://www.oddee.com/
  http://hontouni.com/taihendesu/
  http://gonintendo.com/
  http://www.thetanooki.com/
  http://www.venganza.org/
  There are some others that I read, but just not as often as those. Within Xanga, I only have a relative few subscriptions:
  Zerowing21
  Da__Vinci
  Drung888
  Denigma21
  LadyLibellule
  The_Brink_of_Omniscience
  WAR_ON_ERROR
  GodAintGood
  methodElevated
  XxplasmadragonxX
  In_Reason_I_Trust
  Argenis_sama
  A0u
  GodlessLiberal
  Bosefius
  XfantomcatX
  ChrisRusso
  Trotsky311
  Happily_godless
  Valkyrie6
  goldenj2384@mancouch
  CynicalPsychologist
  There is also one from some guy supposedly named Jimbo and another that had something to do with goat-mastering, but I won't mention those. There are also some personal (read: banal) blogs that I will refrain from mentioning, as well.

  2. What are some of your all-time favorite video games?
  Oh, there are lots of them. My top ten are, in order: Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, The Sims 2, Harvest Moon: Magical Melody, Galaga, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, Guitar Hero III, Civilization IV, and Portal. I own a ton of games, though. You can see them all at my Playfire account, if you're really curious.

  3. Would you like a pet hamster?
  Short answer: No
  Long answer: Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
  Hamsters are cute and all, but they're too small and hyper. Plus, they're not that menacing. I want something that sits in my lap that I can calmly stroke while pensive. Something like a cat or a Chia pet.

  4. If you could totally take over the world, how would you do it?
  I'd do it with an army of overzealous religious missionaries. For the longest time, I wanted to take over the world through military conquest, but as I got older I realized how infeasible that was. The people would resent you, it would be difficult to make people happy, and it would be very costly. I figure taking advantage of some religion would not only be more satisfying, it would be cheaper, you would have better "soldiers," and I could place myself as some authority figure to hold complete power without doing so much as claiming only I can communicate with the deity.

  5. Assuming you had total domination over all mankind (stemming from above), what would you do with all that power?
  Contemplate my memoirs... in my Bastille... with my scantily clad harem surrounding me. As far as power over the people, I think I would implement a system slightly similar to Iran's. I would let there be a president, congress, and judicial branch... all of that; but, I would always be lurking overhead as Supreme Leader with the power to do whatever I want. I can veto any bill, enact any law I think of, fire and hire any government official (president included), free use of eminent domain, and pizza for dinner every single day.

  

  Here Are the Rules:   1 -- Leave a comment, saying you want to be interviewed.   2 -- I will respond  -  I'll ask you five questions.   3 -- You'll update your journal with my five questions, and your five answers.    4 -- You'll include this explanation.   5 -- You'll ask other people who want to be interviewed 5 questions
