That one where Cid kills the planet.


If you could be any kind of squash, what kind would you be?

Probably a white pumpkin, because to pull a line from Weird Al, I'm whiter than sour cream.


Given the choice of any weapon, which do you think does/would suit you best?

The Rifle with Chainsaw Bayonet from Gears of War.

Which is the best Judge show on television?

Judge Judy, because she's good at being a woman in power.



Would you prefer to get ice cream at Baskin Robbins 31 Flavors, or buy from a grocery store?

Straight from the source. The parlor all the way.

Favorite Final Fantasy game, and why?

Final Fantasy Tactics, VI, IX & XII, because they're not VII.

Which super power would you totally steal from a comic character?

Hmm... That's honestly an interesting question. The obvious answer for someone of my age and gaming experience would be six, and for obvious reasons--it had some of the best characterizations of any final fantasy to date, didn't have an annoying main character (a fault of a few modern ones) and brought the era of sixteen bit RPGs to a proud end.

On the other hand, Final Fantasy Seven deserves some mention for being the Final Fantasy to popularize the series, allowing Squaresoft to put more and more money into each successive game, which also means more talent.

Then there's Final Fantasy Ten, which has, arguably, the best story-telling of any of the games, as well as the most human and full characters. Each character had their own personalities which really came through, something that wasn't fully possible in the sixteen bit days, and which they failed at in Final Fantasy Seven, Eight, and Nine.

Speaking of which, Nine also deserves honorable mention. It wasn't amazing in any singular aspect but it was a very solid game with a fun story line, and who didn't like trancing? Plus it came right after Final Fantasy Eight, which led to it being compared directly to--arguably--the worst in the series.

And then there's twelve. Balthier. Also: The first Final Fantasy in quite some time which didn't involve a love plot as central to the story, and, like in ten, the characters were all deeply involved and humanized. I particularly liked how Vaan and Penelo would chat about unimportant kid things while the 'grown-ups' decided what had to be done next in cut scenes. It really added a lot of depth to their characters.

After all is said and done, however, I must say that Final Fantasy Tactics (the original) is my favorite, due to the political intrigue inherent in the plot, the extremely well implemented job system, the great tactical engine, and Delita. Far and away the best game in the series.

Next question: How do you calculate the area of a circle and the volume of a sphere? Seriously, I can't remember.

Damn ninja.

I'd totally take Jubes'. Her fireworks were both lethal and adaptable, but easily hidden from a mob.


If you were a pizza topping, what would you be?

A crazy amalgamation of sausage, pepperoni, hamburger, bacon and ham all crammed into one super topping.

Birds: Beautiful animals to be admired or nasty fucking beasts owned by nasty people?

*pssst*... The answer is "nasty beasts"...

Both.

Why do you fill me up buttercup baby just to let me down?
