- Describe your age.
I am approximately 4.49 billion years younger than the sun.
- Where were you five years ago?
Orbiting the earth on a stolen Barglusian freighter, those Barglusians sure are bad sports!
- Where do you see yourself five years from now?
Still running from those damn Barglusians.
- What's a good night's entertainment for you and your friends?
Watching a movie, playing a board game, drinking, saving the universe (in that order).
- What got you into DVD and how long ago?
I've always been into movies, I paid a ridiculous sum of money for a laserdisc player in the mid 90's (I still have it) and then even more ridiculous amount of money to import the actual discs. When DVD players became available in Australia I spent another ridiculous amount of money on a DVD player, I'm hoping that DVD is around for a long time because with a house to pay off there are no longer any ridiculous amounts of money available to spend on new technologies. Ironically, my current DVD player cost me $70 and it does a better job than my first one, which cost $1500, I hate technology.
- What do you love about DVD?
It's shiney. I like the shiney bits. I also love how so many old (and new) T.V. series are being released at reasonable prices, 5 years ago owning the whole series of X-Files or Bablylon 5 for example would have been insanely expensive, these days it's only mildly insanely expensive.
- Given the advances in DVD over the past few years, does the format still surprise you and why?
If a DVD grew legs and hid under my bed armed with a scalpel then tried to slice my achiles tendon, THAT would surprise me.
- What title in your collection do you use to introduce friends and family to DVD and why?
The Fifth Element and Contact have been my 'reference' DVD's since I got my first player, since then a lot of other suitable demo discs have been released by I always fall back on these old favourites for some reason.
- Outside of DVD, what keeps you entertained?
Outside of DVD? I don't understand the question.
- Have you ever met someone famous before and/or wish to meet someone famous?
I was on T.V. once, does that make me famous? If so, I've met myself, several times.
- What is your current method of transport and what would you like to upgrade to?
A 1987 Nissan Skyline, I'd like to upgrade to a black 1979 Trans-am Firebird, just like The Bandit!
- What is your favorite recipe/meal/take-away?
My favourite meal is food.
- What is the only joke you seem to remember when people around you are telling jokes?
A horse goes into a bar and the bartended asks "Why the long face?"
- Can you juggle? Can you juggle knives? Can you still juggle?
I can juggle 2 balls at once, once, that is, I throw both balls up in the air and they both fall on the ground, that's juggling! With that in mind, I'm pretty sure I could juggle knives too, I'll give it a go and report results.
- What are the most memorable nicknames you've had in your lifetime?
Most of my 'nicknames' are aliases and I can't repeat them here or the feds will be able to track me down again.
- What was the first video game you fell in love with, on what machine? What is your favourite now?
Moon Patrol, I spent way too much money in a seaside milkbar trying to beat this game when I should have been out building sandcastles (or getting sand kicked in my face). My current favourite is Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2 on XBOX, I'm a sucker for a good hack n' slash.
- What are your favourites? (Music, movies, books, anything!)
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die. Also, My favourite colour is purple.
- What DON'T you like about DVD?
Special Editions, I hate shelling out $30 and a week later another version of the DVD comes out with more extras or a directors cut or whatever, I really DON'T like that (unless I was smart enough to wait, then I laugh at all the suckers!).
