Glad to see an interview up. It had been way too long.

[Neon]

bro, shout out much appreciated! now onward to automotive tech day...

[injektilo]

So Neon, how 'bout it?

[Walker]

Huh. I never knew that nalle meant bear. That explains the avatar, though. Any reason behind why the l's are capitalized?

Also, why are you in Tokyo so much?

[a fishstick]

So, naLLe, you speak Japanese then? If I post something a friend wrote to me - can you translate it?

Sadly, my Japanese is limited to - horribly English-ified: Huru ike ya / kawazu tobikomu / mizu no oto. I probably misspelled some of those.

I used this nick when I played in Finnish BBS long time ago. There sometimes were Nalle and nalle playing in other realms so I wanted to make it personal by using those capital letters, as well as colors ! and %.

Also, why are you in Tokyo so much?

My wife is Japanese so we try to spend time here at her parents place as much possible. I like the city as well. If I have to choose a place I most like to spend my holidays, it's Tokyo. This is actually Saitama I'm staying at the moment and it takes 20 minutes by train to go to Tokyo. But it's all same Greater Tokyo Area where living almost 40 million people.

So, naLLe, you speak Japanese then? If I post something a friend wrote to me - can you translate it?

Yeah sure, just send it to me as a private message.

I think we would finish last in all those games with or without Jagermeister influence.
But when I think about it... it would be funny as hell.

Great interview, short enough to start reading, and long enough to spent some time reading it.

[Valkyrie]

Great interview, naLLe. Awesome info.

[Neon]

you're a gay fish

[Walker]

Thanks for picking me as your gaming partner. Also, your answer to the chicken and egg question was awesome.

[tikel]

Nice interview.

raki or rakija how we call it here in Croatia is very common in all the reagion (ex. Yugoslavia) and Albania.
It can be strong and I don't like it much, but older people mostly in the countryside are drinking that stuff like water. The moment they wake they take one shot just to brush their teeth with it.
the one made from grape is called "loza" (short from lozovača) and the one made from the herbs is called "trava" (short from travarica) there is also one made from plumbs (šljivovica).

[a fishstick]

Yeah, over there it's "rakia" - I'm sure it's the same thing. They're quite proud of it. (You know, the spelling probably is the same: rakija - don't know, though.)

Anyway, I had a much longer "chicken/egg" answer, but decided to truncate it for the sake of not becoming Bobaloo.

Also, I haven't rollerbladed in YEARS Neon, so I don't know what youl're talking about!

[Hidden Imp]

RAM,

Based on the smell of their poop, cats or dogs?

Dogs. Cat poop would probably have cat piss on it, and that is some foul shit!

When you saying "playing with my chocolate lab", do you mean you are playing with an advanced chemistry-style set where you attempt to mix ingredients to make unique and exciting chocolates?

Or do you mean a dog?

LOL, great interview! Amused that I got an also-ran in the Einherjar answer, and the "transgender thief" answer cracked me up. Let's Pictionary any time!

This was my question as well. I have to assume Bomania's house has a Wonka level, and that his Igor is, in fact, a chocolate Labrador.

[Walker]

I also found the Einherjar answer amusing.

Also, some of the grad students at Cal Poly used the vodka-Redbull combo to help them study. The alcohol apparently heightens the effect of the caffeine for super alertness.

Nice interview.

[the mystical one]

Other way around. The caffeine helps combat the depressant effect of the alcohol, so you can have all the benefits of the buzz for improving work ability without wanting to fall asleep.

[Walker]

Ah, good to know. I never actually tried it, myself.

[the mystical one]

Red Bull + Vodka also has the mystical property of taking two things that taste utterly nasty and suddenly making them taste good.
