Indeed. Apparently it was woven somewhere into my English curriculum. Tried starting Fellowship of the Ring right off the bat, but Christmas hit, and the effort was lost in a flurry of snow, food, and frantic house cleaning.

Hey Scotch, it's been a while! I read the Hobbit and was disappointed that they left out certain things in the movie (just like always :-/ ).

Chili made with ghost peppers?

I need to try it. It's a bit scarce out here in the Detroit area.

What do you recommend for people trying to avoid the chilly weather in your area?

Good news is that it warmed up here. We're in the 30's!

Second, the most effective way to avoid the cold weather in Michigan is by not going to Michigan.

Yeah, I myself am still reading The Two Towers,
I got halfway then other stuff happened.
I suppose I was at a good stopping point,
but I think a half a year has been long enough.

Favorite toa from the Lego Bionicle series?

That... that is a tough question...

I'm biting my lip here. Kopaka was definitely the coolest (no pun intended), but half the reason I have the nostalgia in the first place is because I was introduced by my older cousin (that man was practically my mold), and the first one he showed me was Tahu. Not to mention, it's harder to get more awesome than riding a rock surfboard on a tidal wave of lava. So yeah, I'll try decide eventually.

Here, have some Toa Lewa wallpaper.

Are there any games in 2014 that you are looking forward to?

There's a couple. Watch_Dogs looks interesting, but I can't say that I'm hooked. Destiny also looks interesting, but also not a must-buy.

Metal Gear Solid V on the other hand... MGSV sounds really, really good. Aside from that, most of it is clearing up all the classics I missed from the last console generation.

Kopaka and Tahu are definitely both awesome toa,
My personal favorite is actually Lewa. (As I love the color green. )

Thanks for the wallpaper by the way!


Have you played the game VVVVVV?

Nope. Haven't tried VVVVVV. Unfortunately. Despite it being FIFTY CENTS during the Steam Sale.

Haha, well there is always next time.

Got a favorite story from a game?

I've got quite a few actually.

Most of them involve staying up late with four or five of my friends and playing until the hour is no longer a prime number.

There was the first time that I ever tried GTAV (morally questionable, yes, but indeed fun). There was the first time I ever tried The Last of Us. There was staying up countless hours playing Kirby Air Ride and Super Smash Bros Brawl (or Melee for us oldschool purists). I have a mile long lists of TF2 stories, each of which read out like a poorly written overly comical bar fight scene in a movie. There was the time where I ironically went full circle via buying a PS3 and inFamous (that's a cool one).

But my favorite story of all time? Well, when I was a late child/early teen, I was really bad at socializing. There was this one other kid who would bother me endlessly. I'm not sure if he wanted to be friends with me or not, but he succeeded in annoying me ceaselessly. I repayed him by static shocking him whenever I had the opportunity (as a sixth grader, I had an unusual knack for that, and garnered attention for it - it was cool shocking a girl with a pencil through her earring). In seventh grade, I sorta became friends with him, but never went full throttle. Eighth grade, we were friends. I went to his place. We played Borderlands. We played Fallout: New Vegas. We ate pizza. We were bros. I knew that this was gonna be happening a lot more frequently from then on.

That's cool. ^-^


Favorite Team Fortress 2 character?

That's almost tougher than the bionicle one!

Hmmm... gameplay wise, pyro's the most fun for me. But as far as personality and character development goes, there's no way to choose.
