Animals!

    Probably

  3. If you could become any animal, what would you be? Why?

  5. Who is your favorite animal character (from stories, books, TV, movies, etc.)? Why?
    (sic)
  1. Frog (duh)
  2. Right now, one of those cute little ones you see on the evening news after it survives some horrible tragedy. “Koko lost part of one of her front legs in the attack, but is otherwise expected to make a full recovery.”
  3. Tortoise. I like the idea of carrying some armor with me and living for a couple centuries.
  4. Nuh uh, I’m not falling into that trap. Besides, the SyFy Channel is doing a good enough job on its own.
  5. Mole, from The wind in the Willows

Friday Five: Video Games

Courtesy of

1. Do you prefer to play games on a console or PC?
Tough call. I have a Wii, and I immensely enjoy the few games I do have for it, but I probably spend more gaming time on the computer.

2. What is your all-time favourite game? (No answer too embarrassing)
The Secret of Monkey Island. Hands down.

3. Which game has been the most disappointing?
Donkey Kong Barrel Blast

4. Are there any upcoming games that you’re excited to try?
Doctor Who: Worlds in Time

5. If you could design a computer game, what kind would it be (platform, racing, shoot-out, etc.) and what would it be about?
I’ve had an idea for an educational puzzle-based MMO that I think has potential.
