A)I've been playing around with this archetype since the MUD days. I was on Sojourn/Toril, which Sony took several admins from to develop EQ1.

Please tell a little about yourself, aside from gaming. Perhaps some

A) I'm unemployed at the moment, so I spend a lot of time on the game. I am a Linguist in training, so hopefully I'll get back into grad school sooner or later. I love football (both kinds!), college basketball, reading, music, and games. I can provide links to facebook and livejournal on request, where this sort of thing is laid out.

Please remember to register here on these forums.
A)Never! Wait... OK.


Q) Do you have any questions for us? Yeah, will you let me into your stupid club for jerks?

Thank you for applying, interesting humor you have, however the following took me a little aback. I understand when someone is trying to be funny and depending on the manner employed it looks like the application was rushed. I didnt think it was funny, but that is me.

"Q) Do you have any questions for us? Yeah, will you let me into your stupid club for jerks?"

Care to tell us about any of your hobbies, a good story would be nice.

I personally found it humorous. Coincidentally, I'll let you join only if you can prove to me that you are both stupider and jerkier (word?) than I (just don't include that on your app =P). Other than that, a little more elaboration on who you are, or maybe a story about that time when you walked in on your grandparents, etc.

It's a Simpsons reference. I probably should have mentioned that at least 75 percent of my speech will consist of such.

I'm not much of a storyteller. It's probably why I"m so devoted to comedians/spoken word types so much. I love nothing more than a good story, but I seem to suck ass at constructing them. Incidentally, I walked in on my sister being conceived (near as we can tell). My parents were hippies, though, so it wasn't that big a deal. I once got in trouble in second grade for describing accurately the act of intercourse using appropriate terminology. My mother was well pissed.

Seem like an interesting person.....but as stated above....give us some more information about yourself.....we are not asking you to write a novel or give us your unabridged life story...but we deff need to get a feel for ya....And if you have looked at the example applications...you will know this.

Thanks for the response, i'm not much of simpsons fan but nobody's perfect! You seem like an ok guy, I suppose I am looking for something that stands out. The parental story of your sister's conception was good tho.

Long narrations are not necessary but we certainly look at the steak and not the peas. I'll have to give this application some more thought. Did I mention you application was a little thin? Which football teams do you like?

Pie or Cake? (please explain your answer)

I dunno, I guess I'm missing what's missing.

I'm a sarcastic bastard with a brain full of obscure and not-so-obscure references. I'm 30 years old and married. I'm semi-proficient in German and have quite an extensive command of the English language. Um, I like sports, almost to a fault. I read way too many books and own ~1000 cds and 90 gigs of music (at the moment).

I'd be happy to take specific questions, I love being interviewed. Not a great spieler, however (ironic!).

Well, I was born in Kentucky and raised in Tallahassee, FL so I support the Kentucky Wildcats and the Florida State Seminoles. I can't be arsed to watch the NFL, it's friggin' boring to me. The only reason I acknowledge it is to keep track of former college players. I was a Giants fan in my youth, however.

My team in the other football is FC Bayern München. Quite passionate about this, and spend entirely too much money supporting my devotion. Actually had a chance to see them play in Chicago a couple of years ago against Manchester United (scum!).

As for cake/pie, I gotta say that's an incomplete enumeration. Why not just have cheesecake, which is about as cakey a pie and as piey a cake as you are ever likely to mosey across in this big insane world. Forced to choose, I'd say cake, but only as a vector for icing really (bad diabetic!).

Interview questions are as follows


1: Describe to the best of your ability....what type of gamer you consider yourself.

2.BAH.......answered this question before i posted

3.See # 2

4.90gigs of music....? please elaborate on what music you like.....

Great responses, You had my vote until you said Florida State....having lived in Florida for nearly my entire life I was a strong supporter of UM...however time has changed and so have I, I am now an OSU fan.

As far as Futbol, I am a fan of my POS crappy Manchester United team....

not to derail but I cant resist, how swollen are yours Averna?

All questions were answered in the previous post, except for the music one.

I really do like just about all types of music. Possible blanket exceptions being modern country and modern R and B.

My first love was hip-hop, however, so there's a lot of that. Probably the biggest chunk is devoted to what I describe as "experimental" music, for lack of a better term. Noisey, clangy, "weird" type stuff. Tons of reggae, dancehall, and dub. I have a bumpersticker on my car that says "I (heart) dub!" Those are my main three loves, but I'll listen to just about anything of quality. Maybe I'll fire up the ole Itunes and list the first ten randoms it busts out...

Halber Mensch - Einstürzende Neubauten
Hit 'Em - Three Six Mafia
Roc Boys - Re-up gang
Get Crunk - Lil' Flip
Space Captain - Legendary Pink Dots
Serere- Lekan Animashun
Shame - The Smashing Pumpkins
The Magnificent Seven - The Clash
Bism - Coil
Cook It Up - Aesop Rock

Interesting, that's actually fairly representative...

And I underestimate slightly, my music folder is actually 97 gigs.

Probably shouldn't mention that I live in Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti and my wife has a master's from Michigan and is currently employed by them then, eh?

No comment...especially if you don't know what I'm referencing

Oh, and from me. Simpsons quotes are pretty much a way of life at my house.

Oh, I forgot the gamer one...

hmm.

I like information, so being the first to find out about things is important to me. This really generally only comes into play in MMO's, but it's still fairly important to my gamer psyche.

I'm fairly high level at Tekken. I'm proficient at Street Fighter incarnations. I tend to love FIFA (yes, i prefer it over PES/WiElE, generally), but was quite disappointed by last year's. High hope for this edition, should be here ina couple of days from Gamefly.

Xbox live: Gene Quagmire
I'd post my PSN name, but some asshole broke into my apartment earlier this year and ganked my shit. Despite Little Big Planet, I can't bring myself to buy another one now that FF13 and Tekken 6 are on Xbox as well.

The first game I ever played was Dig-Dug in a laundromat in Richmond, KY when I was 4.

Michigan you say....normally that would get an immediate adverse reaction from me, however being that they are blowing their own chunks this season i'm sufficeintly pleased with my own knowledge that they arent ranked in the top 20

and yes, you still have my vote...

btw, check out "art of noise" it might be right up your ally.

Man, I need access to the quote function!

Yeah, they suck this year, which I find quite gratifying, despite the fact that they pay the bills. I love that place as an academic institution, but I could care less about the athletics. My loyalties in that respect are set in stone.

Art of Noise, yup. Good call.

Articulate, well read, music lover with just enough maturity to know not to be mature. Solid.
from me, friend.

OH, as another geek cred point I should probably mention that my pull list averages about 50 bucks a week. On top of the backlog of library books, I've got quite a stack going beside the bed.

God, seems I missed all the fun in this application...paddles...mmmm....anyways...

Seems like a good app. I got the Simpson's ref even if no one else did. You had me laughing almost from the start. Your quick responses and seemingly endless supply of music and books impressed me as well. You get my .

I more of a South Park man myself, but despite that
