the "Ask Otaku" thread

[YoureMyHiro]

I feel so alone without Otakui...

How will all my questions get answered?

I will never know what socks I should wear?
Or what the time is on the moon?
Or anything!

I cant make choices by myself.

1. Ill answer them for you.
2. Wear the white ones, if you dont own white ones, buy some.
3. Google it.

Question: Where the hell can I find the MINI version of the old school HomeRun Pies? I know they exist.

note: this is a stupid rant, and i need to spout off some steam. don't pay attention it.


well, these last few days have given me time to reflect on alot of things, like why i decided to literally push myself away from everyone. its probably one of the stupidest decisions i've made in a while, and i really can't come up with a reason to justify it, i really can't. i guess i had a point of emoness during the week.

i've figured out that i don't need to push myself away from everyone just for the sake of doing nothing but trying to find a job on the internet for 6-8 hours everyday for the major part of this week. i actually found myself looking at the boards but not logging in. i think the emoness started off sometime last weekend (i can pretty much pinpoint where and when it started), but im getting over it now.

well, now that i have gotten that off my chest, im back.

i hope i didnt worry anyone, and from what ive seen, it looks like you guys had fun reviving some really, REALLY old threads.

Heh I know what you mean about leaving the boards.  If you're going to leave the boards, do it right.  :P Do not check this message board and do not communicate with any of the board members.  Failure to do so and you may start missing a piece of it.

I left the boards for at least two months last year until I made one tiny mistake and accidentally unhid myself at AIM.  I wasn't sure if Trillian was working or not. XD But Saiko noticed something.  One thing lead to another and I accidentally got into a fanichat thanks to her and everyone was like, "woah," and I was like "ONOZ!" D:

So is it safe to say... welcome back? XD

yea, it's safe to say 'welcome back', gmo. i think saturday's trip did alot of good for me, since i got to be around friends and noticed what i was pushing myself away from. i didnt want that.

so yea, im back.

and, i dont know why, but for some reason i have the strangest feeling that im about to be bombarded with a texas-sized slab of questions pretty soon.

*Jerry Bump*

Lets see... questions questions...

Did ya miss me?
we all miss jerry. he's such a hard target to hit, lol.
was I even gone?
you tell me
I think I havent slept much again today?
i'm gonna guess that you're right about that.
Why do we have daylight savings time?
here's the simple answer: farmers
What would you do with an extra hour?
i didnt know that its now 25 hours in a day...XD
Whats the "weirdest" thing youve done to waste and hour?
flipped through a copy of readers' digest.
Whats the "best" thing to waste an hour for?
dunno.
Whats the farthest you've driven in an hour?
dont have license/car yet. i'll let ya know then.
Whats the farthest you've flown in an hour?
i was too damn young to even remember that.
Whats the farthest you've walked in an hour?
hmm....it would have to be from one part of alameda to the other.
Have you swam over an hour?
i dont swim well. i float pretty good, though.
Have you played video games over an hour?
oh, yea. i've done that plenty of times.
What game(s) deserves to be played more than an hour?
almost anything that isn't a sports game.
Have you seen 300?
no, not yet.
Is it as awsome as 'they' say it is?
damn, i hope so.
Would you go to Anime Expo or San Diego Comic Con?
probably anime expo.
Whats the first thing you want to do for Spring break?
haven't thought about that yet. meh, i'll figure something out by then.
Is it summer time yet?
weather-wise? yup. time-wise? nope.
Should the fani Mafia have a water fight?
lol, yea. and we can use the cool super-soakers, too! ROFL
What about a Food fight?
leave me out of that
Who would you name random fani Mafia members that would emerge as glorious "winners" ?
in the food fight or the water fight? i'd probably say loktera, spirit, minagi, bartboy, and maybe sucrose.
Who would do the walk of shame as the not-so-happy losers?
i can't answer that. if i do, i'm gonna end up paying for it later on. *treasures his life*
Why do I have to wait for April 23rd to see the new episode of Heroes?
because time travel takes a toll on ya.
Why am I so bored?
you just are, jerry. you just are.
Why am I so tired (again)?
do the words 'lack of sleep' ring a bell?
Why should I shut up?
what?! who said that?! *breaks out the weapons*
Why hasnt anyone else asked questions?
because they dont have what it takes to fight against Ivan Drago......oh wait, that was Rocky IV.....nevermind.
Should we have more gatherings?
gatherings are fun and all, but having one after the other too close to each other can put a strain on people's wallets (especially mine). they need to be spaced out accordingly.
Is it time for Fanime 2007 yet?
we've still got a long way to go until we get there, my friend.

Huz zah, yay for sleep deprived wanna be funny dorks.

Why do people always beat me to the punchline?
trust me, you're not the only one.
If I go to EVO, will I find any good F-Zero comp. (as in multiplayer in the BYOC area)?
maybe. it depends on the turnout, but good luck anyways.
Why did Iggy Pop throw peanut butter around?
because it was chunky style, not smooth.

-Do you think my mom will hook me up with an advance screening pass to Pirates 3?(I think she has a friend who can help her at work)
-In MvC 2, is there a faster way for me to earn alot of points?(To buy stuff)
-Why does Saiko assume that I declared a "post race/war" against her? :roll: (I never did such a thing, and she won't answer when I ask her.)

[Jerry]

Should Karen learn to drive a stick shift?

If Karen and Victim X were to race... who would win?

If a tree falls in the woods, and no one is around, does it make a sound?

[otakuapprentice]

Robin: holy harpies in a handbasket, batman! its the questions again, and they want answers!
Batman: unfortunately, we're in line at the DMV, and so are they. by the time they get their answers, they won't even care anymore. BAM! POW! KABOOM!

*over loudspeaker* number G146, go to line #16.

Batman: damnit, i was already in line #16!! frickin' speeding tickets....

stop.....ANSWER TIME!!

-Do you think my mom will hook me up with an advance screening pass to Pirates 3?(I think she has a friend who can help her at work)
one tip: beg, beg, beg!!
-In MvC 2, is there a faster way for me to earn alot of points?(To buy stuff)
yea, there is. copy a file from anyone that already has everything. thats what i did when i had it back then.
-Why does Saiko assume that I declared a "post race/war" against her? :roll: (I never did such a thing, and she won't answer when I ask her.)
a "post race/war"? im a little confused what you mean by that. if its in a thread, please gimme the link and i can see what went wrong, if anything.

Should Karen learn to drive a stick shift?
from my POV, i don't like stick shift. to most, if you can drive stick, then you can drive anything. it's all up to her.
If Karen and Victim X were to race... who would win?
damn, that's a tough one right there. i think i would have to say karen would probably win. man, can she drive.
If a tree falls in the woods, and no one is around, does it make a sound?
no and yes. it can also make the best scrambled eggs, and it can make you a fine jacket. but it requires payment in 'chips', LOL.

[Jerry]

Are asian pirates awsome? (had to ask...)

[otakuapprentice]

Are asian pirates awesome? (had to ask...)
i'm pretty sure i know what you're talking about, and yes: asian pirates are indeed awesome. you might even say that they are EXTREME!!!

[BP!]

Have you ever played The Misadventures of Tron Bonne?

Have you ever played "Tomba!"?

Have you ever played SkyGunner?

If not, I demand that you play them!

[otakuapprentice]

Have you ever played The Misadventures of Tron Bonne?
played it.
Have you ever played "Tomba!"?
played it.
Have you ever played SkyGunner?
haven't played it.
If not, I demand that you play them!
as far as i know, ive haven't seen any of these titles anywhere for a long time. Tron Bonne is alot easier to find than Tomba!, and with regards to SkyGunner: i never even heard of it; is it an RPG or a shooter?

[BP!]

Alright, THIS is SkyGunner:
