Feel free to ask the Scottish gamer dragon. Rawr! Please, however, none of the following : Inappropriate questions : These just really don't belong here. Mega Man X questions : I've pretty solidly said everything I can about this. Religious or Political questions : Neither topic is especially fun for me, and discussing either tends to result in one side or the other getting irritated or upset, so I'd just as soon avoid this.

In your opinion, if a Polar Bear and a Saltwater Crocodile ever got into a fight, who'd win?

Hmm... Admittedly I don't have enough knowledge immediately of the strengths of either species in relation to each other. I will say where the fight occurs could be a deciding factor though. Like if the croc goes after the polar bear on their turf, it's going to have a rough time with the temperatures, being cold blooded. Similarly, with polar bears being built for colder climates, they probably wouldn't do as well in the crocodile's natural habitat. Assuming a somehow neutral area where neither has a specific advantage... My gut reaction would maybe be the polar bear if only because it has more overall options. A crocodile has a lot of strength, but offense-wise, it's mostly in the jaw. It relies heavily on that bite force. Still, it gets in one good bite, and it might be all over for the bear. So yeah, honestly, hard to call.

So in the X6 remake, since a lot of the bosses are actually innocent. If the player does not attack them back for a certain period of time, the bosses surrender and you can spare them. I found this to be a very interesting mechanic.

What do you think of this mechanic and do you think it can play well in a classic series setting?

Hm... It could work, admittedly I think I prefer how it was done in Powered Up, where using an RM's weakness against them caused too much damage, but just buster dueling them did minimal damage so they could be taken back to the lab to be repaired. Just "run around and dodge without doing anything else" isn't really a favored style of play for me, which I fully admit is just personal preferences.

Favorite VHS titles/rentals? Also in that relation, game rentals?

I remember renting a lot of like, videos that were collections of episodes of various things like old cartoons or episodes of TMNT or such. Games... those were all over the place, just whatever looked interesting at the time, haha.

Have you ever had georgian food(georgian as in from the country not the state). Its to die for. The above is a type of cheese and potato filled bread called ossetian kachapuri which is like georgian pizza.

Huh, can't say I've ever had access to such, but that does look and sound good.

You neved played X6 but I assume you are more than aware what X6 is. So to make it better, there is a fan game remake of it. Since its a game you'll not play, are you okay with its spoilers? (as there is one interesting thing I want to tell you about its plot)

Yeah, it's fine, no problem with that one.

Hey, Roahm. Ever watched "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" movie? If you do, do you agree is that it's one of darkest Disney live action movies featuring cartoon characters? I know, they released movie under different company (Touchstone Pictures), so parents wouldn't call them out for dark moments, just like what happened with "The Black Cauldron".

Indeed, I've seen it. As for "level of darkness," I mean, at its heart, it is a crime drama, just one that happens to feature the weirdness of toons living among humans, so a wacky crime drama, but a crime drama all the same.

Truthfully though, there's plenty of dark moments in Disney films. I mean, how many dead Disney parental characters are out there at this point? Not everyone gets hit with that one, but quite a few at any rate, haha.

1. What is the wierdest pet name you have ever heard?

2. Have you ever seen pets where they had no proper name? (Context: My aunt owns a Green Parrot but he has no proper name and everyone calls him "Mitthu" , which is just the name of the species in Hindi)

One of my elder relatives had a rather hyperactive cat she named Monkey.

I don't think I've ever encountered something like that myself?

So what if I made all of the sprite styles I could think of? Let's do that with Ignite (my friends told me to use her).

Comic question... are you more into Heathcliffe or Garfield?

I mostly had Garfield comics growing up. I at least know OF Heathcliff, but didn't really see much in the way of comics or cartoons about him.

humor me Durgon

what is your favorite battle of Unstoppable Force meets Immovable Object in fiction?

Hmm... admittedly, I'm not sure I can think of one specifically, it's not really a trope I think about all that much.

My theories will probably prove wrong in the future but here are my best guesses on the next six rallies of mario kart world's knockout tour. 1. the grand star rally 2. the gold shell rally 3. the elephant fruit rally 4. the feather rally 5. the p wing rally and 6. the wonder flower rally

Honestly I wish they were adding more normal cups. I admittedly didn't really enjoy rally mode.

Dang it, I wanted to keep it a secret.

But better to be sure, 'cause I know Neo will do a much better job if it is the same one.

I had plans to make a Disco Man costume.

Ah, that works, I believe the one he's working on is Vegas.

Hey there! Would it be alright if I were to turn one of your original robot masters into a Magmml 3 costume?

I'd be interested to see how it turned out. Who did you have in mind? I know Neo is off and on working on one as well.

Excluding the cases where you come back to a game after a long time

1. Has it ever happened that you sometimes start to suck at a part of a game where you usually don't suck at?

2. Or even worse, has it ever happened that you suddenly unlearned how to do that part correctly and have to relearn it?

3. Or even worst, has it ever happened that you have to relearn a part but you never became good at it as much as you were before?

I mean, I guess if I'm playing for a long session and fatigue starts to set in, that would be a thing. I feel like the last question there though more specifically does mean situations where I've come back to a game I haven't played in awhile. Which in that case, I feel like the most common would be just getting back into the swing of learning a Robot Master's patterns or such. Like an easy example I can give there is Ring Man. His pattern is very easy once you lock into it, but after not having played 4 for awhile, it usually takes me a little to re-learn the timing.

When you screamed in one of your recent one offs a few months ago i felt like joining you, cause yeah sadly i’m almost 50. at least i will be in about two years 😕

Huh, the rarity of actually meeting someone older than me, haha. I'm usually the oldest in any group I'm part of at 45. But definitely feeling it, haha.

I just learned about a Dinosaur. Its called "Yi Qi" . Look it up because it looks like a real life dragon.

Huh, hadn't seen that one before. Some of the artist renderings I saw of it almost make it look like a Bird Wyvern from Monster Hunter, haha.

Of your 20< years on Internet, have you ever been threatened by someone? (As in someone trying to violate your privacy or someone making 30+ alts harass you)

Well, would be more than 20 years, haha. Like I was definitely active on the internet during the 90s, so there's that. Actually how I met one of my best friends, old AOL message boards in the mid 90s.

Anyway, as to the rest, I mean, as weird as it feels to say such, I do have at least some degree of fame on the internet, minor as it is. Basically any level of fame is going to get people like that, so... par for the course, really.
