Interview with Crazyreyn
Crazyreyn participated in the Interview with a Moderator series on April 18, 2009.
1. Whoa, Reyn's a mod now?... when did this happen? o.o
I'm a what?
2. Are you as crazy as you claim to be. I dispute that claim. Don't overturn it, please, uphold.
Overturned.
3. Did you know your User ID is divisible by 5, 17 and 4259?
I did, actually. Don't ask me how, but it's probably because I'm clever.
4. What's your favorite food?
An even tie between pop tarts, a BLT, spag bol, sunday roast and beans on toast. I'm a man of simple tastes.
5. It’s the future and Queen Elizabeth III and Queen Elizabeth IV are going to a party held by Queen Elizabeth V. They're keen to make the right impression so it’s important that they choose their outfits carefully. Queen Elizabeth III has forty dresses to choose from, where as Queen Elizabeth IV has four thousand. Queen Elizabeth V has just one dress, but it has the ability to transform itself into the shape of any dress. The night before the party Queen Elizabeth IV’s handmaiden steals the patents to Queen Elizabeth III’s dresses and working through till dawn makes forty exact replicas. Can you calculate the probability that all three queens will be wearing the same dress at the party and how many times can Queen Elizabeth V’s dress change before it overheats?
tl;dr
6. Do you <3 HoL?
Hall of Light? Yeah! It's an awesome Amiga database. Highly recommend it. House of Lies is also pretty ok.
7. What is your favorite TF2 class?
Sniper. Just hang back and pop shots in the shadows. The machine gun is also pretty good up close, so all round it works for me.
8. Favorite Bands/Genres?
Muse, Biffy Clyro, The Strokes, The Killers, Maximo Park, Daft Punk. All the great tastes.
9. I hurd you liek Mudkips, is this true?
Yes. *demodded*
10. What do you think about MMBN3 or Megaman Battle Network 3?
Being a dirty Brit, we weren't grown on a diet of Mega Man, so I can't comment. Been meaning to play Mega Man 2 though, hear it's the nuts.
11. CJayC or SBAllen?
CBAllenC, obv
12. Xbox or Playstation?
This generation? Xbox. Last, PlayStation. Before then, your mother.
13. What's your opinion on GameSpot?
I get my gaming news and reviews elsewhere, but it's a decent site. No idea what their Halo Wars review as on about, though.
14. Favorite "established" FAQ writer?
BSulpher. He's excellent.
15. Favorite up-and-coming FAQ writer?
Honestly? I don't keep up with FAQ writing much now, and guessing wouldn't be a great idea. So... JasonMeetsTest4?
16. Do you watch Lost?
Yes! I love Lost. This season has probably captured me more than any so far, I love the direction it has gone in.
17. What's your favorite social board on GameFAQs?
UK / 313.
18. What was your ultimate goal in becoming a moderator? Personal vendetta against another member? A bet? Perhaps simple psychotic rage?
Bordom. I'd love to see a dictator use that excuse one day.
19. Have you lost the game yet?
I are game lost.
20. Why did you apply to become a moderator?
Just to continue contributing to the site. It often annoyed me when a blatent moderation - especially something like spoilers - would be left on the site for hours at the time. I mean, what were those silly mods doing with their time? (Note: Now I know.) So I do what I can to make everyone's board experience half-decent. (Vote Crazyreyn for Admin)
21. "Are" you implosive?
"No" I am not.
22. Coke or Pepsi?
Oh, finally a tough question. Coke generally, but it depends on my mood. Sod it, Coke.
23. Favorite movie?
Haven't got one cert, but generally Terminator 2, Groundhog Day, Akira, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Shaun of the Dead crop up as answers.
24. What keyboard layout do you use?
I type everything through the on-screen keyboard.
25. A magic genie appears (as opposed to a non-magic genie). The genie says that you have been cursed by the Dark King of the Netherworld and have to have a demon dog. Would you prefer a dog that a) breathes fire, b) dances to disco music or) kills kittens?
Kills kittens. I don't really like cats. Well, I wouldn't go as far to want them to die, just generally stay the hell away from me. Shame we have two in the house, then.
