FanimeCon 2008:

Should Robin Williams be a guest of honor?

Should I hold an F-Zero panel?
What should it be about?
Wanna be a co-host?

Should I plan an F-Zero cosplay gathering?
Who the heck would actually show up in F-Zero costumes?

How come people tell me NOT to take the 911 Challenge?

FanimeCon 2008:

Should Robin Williams be a guest of honor?
Robin Williams and Fanime are like oil and water: they...just....don't...mix.

Should I hold an F-Zero panel?
Taking into account that Fanime is more about anime than games, i'm not sure how this would pan out; i think it's the same reason that Alkaline dropped his 'Cynicism in Games' panel; it's just not suited very well for Fanime.

What should it be about?
Well, if you do go ahead with this, things to take into consideration would be the history of the series itself, how it has evolved over each iteration of the game, and possibilities that seem plausible for the next version that is coming out on the Wii. Also include strategies and any other relevant stuff you think should be discussed

Wanna be a co-host?
me, a host? nah, i dont think i'm suitable enough to tackle F-Zero; i might know about video games, but I don't have that much knowledge on F-Zero. Besides, i have other things in the works for next years' con...

Should I plan an F-Zero cosplay gathering?
If you can find the cosplayers, then go ahead.

Who the heck would actually show up in F-Zero costumes?
Beats me; i don't think f-zero has been cosplayed before.

How come people tell me NOT to take the 911 Challenge?
It's not that we're telling you not to take the challenge; we are recommending you don't try to attempt it. if you want to experience a living death, be my guest; I have tried and failed, with disastrous results.

Would you take the 911 Challenge if Dubya Bush agreed to take it with you?

How long do you stare at my current avatar? :P

Why do they keep making good books into bad movies?

Why do they keep making good books into bad movies?

ooh, you posted here. very, very cool.

its the same reason they make good games into bad movies: its all about the money....well, not all the time.

which movie are you talking about specifically, if i may ask?

[Maya_Darling]

hi hi  :)

I wasnt talking about any one movie/book

Why could Jaws (which ever number was the last one) sink a helicopter (Dnt kill me for spelling)?

oh, you were talking about good-book-to-bad-movies in general.
Why could Jaws (which ever number was the last one) sink a helicopter (Dnt kill me for spelling)?
Just because it's Jaws; he's one bad-ass shark. damn, i don't remember Jaws sinking a helicopter...i better go back and watch it again, whichever one had it.

don't worry, i won't kill you for spelling; that wouldn't be very nice of me now would it? no, it wouldn't.

[Maya_Darling]

no it wouldnt be nice. If you were mean I might have to bite you :)

[otakuapprentice]

no it wouldnt be nice. If you were mean I might have to bite you :)
there are very few occasions where I've been a mean person; a rule i live by when it comes to girls: "A Gentleman first, A Guy second." just 'cause im nice doesnt mean you dont have to bite, hehe.

[Maya_Darling]

I might hold you to that.

What is your favorite emoticon?

[otakuapprentice]

I might hold you to that.

What is your favorite emoticon?
it would have to be :lol: or the ROFL emoticon, but the boards dont have a ROFL emoticon, and that makes me feel :cry:

[Maya_Darling]

aww so sad I like the shocked one  :shock: It makes me laugh.

what is your favorite color?

[otakuapprentice]

aww so sad I like the shocked one  :shock: It makes me laugh.
yea, that one's pretty cool too.
what is your favorite color?
its hard to pick just one, so i have three: black, blue, and orange.

[Maya_Darling]

all very fun colors.

what is the worst video game every made for the PS 2?

[otakuapprentice]

there are alot of really bad games on the PS2, probably too many to put in one post. but in my opinion, the worst game overall for the PS2 would probably have to be a tie between the Alias game, Catwoman, and the Aquaman game.

Would you be suprised if I told you that Robin Williams is an anime fan, apparently? That why I brought him up (as a joke).

Will you see the Simpsons Movie in theaters?

[Maya_Darling]

they made an Aquaman game? That is just wrong.

What question should I ask next?
