| 31 | Not like they don't make you watch enough gosh darn commercials just to get to watch the mediocrity plastered all over the glass teat in your living room. Yeesh. If everything went PPV, I'd probably just shrug and hook something else up to the TV (which I don't watch more than an hour a week anyway). | Pay-Per-View TV Shows - if we had the appropriate tech and billing systems to do this and you didn't have to commit to a subscription, please select the top amounts you'd be likely to pay per episode to see new episodes of certain television series: |
| 32 | Once I dreamed I woke up, brushed my teeth, took a shower, and was heading off for work when I woke up. It was very very odd, and I felt sort of disoriented the whole day... | Have you ever confused dreams with reality (and reality with dreams)? |
| 33 | Things are going great, and they're only getting better. [STR] *** elijahblue and steve: you weeeeeen! Who do you wanna say hi to? | Generally speaking, are you happy? |
| 34 | They make electronic plastic wrap dispensers? I prefer the old-fashioned mechanical devices, when possible, as I noted above. Some things just get annoying when they get all gadgeted up. | Kitchen Gadgets! |
| 35 | If it's cool. I'm really annoyed at shareware authors who write tiny little programs and try to charge 10 or 20 bucks for it. That seems ridiculous to me. A few years ago, it would all have been freeware anyway. The "Pay me for my CS project!" mania only got really silly recently. | Do you pay for your shareware? |
| 36 | I think I commented on this already a while back... | What's the biggest thing you ever stole? |
| 37 | I checked music, books, and hobby stuff. If somebody has no hobbies or music or books or anything like that, I instinctively distrust them, since they don't _do_ anything. I also can usually get some idea of where someone came from and a general idea of their mindset by looking at their music collection. And hobbies, well, that's how the like spending their time. People who have no books but lots of golf clubs I would avoid. People who have lots of cheap romance novels and an arc-welding rig in the back yard I also would probably avoid (but maybe not... Hm.). All of this can be pretty superficial, though-- I'd have to get other clues from how they act, what they talk about, and so on. | What material possession(s) do you think say the most about a person? (please check no more than 3). Please comment about *what* you think these things say about the person. |
| 38 | I would be keyboard player, since, well, I am. But it wouldn't be a "rock band," it would be a performance collaboration. Or something like that. And there might not be anyone but me, so technically I'd do everything via keyboards. Or maybe not. But definitely keyboards. | If you were in a rock band, which of the following roles would you fill, assuming you were equally talented at all of them? |
| 39 | I like first-person games, but I prefer them to have a plot, and no, Doom's "There are bad things here. Please shoot them" doesn't count as a plot... Currently I'm in Riven, having played Myst and Obsidian, and I've been spending a lot of time playing a game for the Mac called "Escape Velocity" (and the sequel, "EV:Override."). Hm, and I left off space-combat simulators, like X-Wing and Wing Commander (and sequels of both). I guess that's what the last option is for... *** Joe: You think Doom and Quake aren't easy to categorize? They're first-person shooters, and essentially plotless. C&C is a real-time strategy game. Populous is also a real-time strategy game. Lots of games on the Amiga were still games-- I don't remember _too_ many that were really odd, except perhaps WizBall, which was the freakiest non-French video game I ever played (and lots of fun, too). And Marathon does too have a plot, or at least more of an attempt at a plot than Doom or Quake, which have nary a plot element at all. ("The moonbase is full of demons, and you've got a pistol. You know what to do." doesn't count as a plot, sorry. At least Marathon has actual tasks on each level.) So neener. 8) *** Badtz: I forgot trivia games, too... Thanks for mentioning... Topper: Freakin' Snood... What an annoying game that is. 8) | Do you like your computer games (not stand-up arcade games)... |
| 40 | I'm only on another web page right now, but usually I've got music playing or other people around. | What other activities are you doing while accessing Survey Central right now? |
