Q. What is the most memorable flamewar you can remember? (Answer!)

- plz
- could you plz give me (quest item)?

Q. How do you feel about selling virtual items for real money? (Do NOT advertise RMT services!) (Answer!)

I don't sell or buy any in-game goods myself.
Q. How do you feel about playing characters of the opposite sex? (Answer!)
A. I think it's normal. Actually, I play a character of the opposite sex too. I think it's cooler to play with a character that I really like how she looks in those robes than playing a male character in scary metal armor.

Q. Other than your console or PC, what is the piece of hardware you can't live without? (Answer!)
A. My synth and my Skypephone :P
Q. Beside GamerDNA, what are your favorite websites? (Answer!)
Q. If you made your own game, what would it be like? (Answer!)
A. It would be a 3D MMoRPG where everyone would start out same strong - no character customization in stats before beginning to play, only character gender and look customization. The game wouldn't be grind- or quest-based, it would be skill based - different skills that one could advance without advancing the character's "main level" - like in Runescape, the non-combat skills. But it would surely have more detailed graphic than Runescape, as well as better GUI and active combat system, not as just click to attack a monster and watch it die. There would be a variety of combat skills and spells, as well as magical buffs etc.<br>Well, it's pretty hard to tell it all at once, but I've thought about it a lot, as I am actually making my own game! :P
Q. When do you play, including timezone? (Answer!)
A. Depends on my mood. Usually 5PM to 10PM (GMT+1, with summer daytime changes)
Q. What do your characters and avatars usually look like? (Answer!)
A. They look like they would look in their own life and adventures. They use the clothes they get from adventures or that they buy or make themselves, priority goes to items that don't look really bad, but are powerful.
Q. What do you love or hate about PVP? (Answer!)
A. I think it's quite useless. Sure, it's fun to find out that you're stronger than someone else, but I enjoy cooperation to achieve a higher goal more than PvP.
Q. What are the proper uses of tank guns and bubblegum? (Answer!)
Q. Are you interested in working within the game industry? (Answer!)

Q. If you could bring any book, movie or comic to life in a game, which would you choose? (Answer!)
A. Latvian epos "Lacplesis" :)
Q. What are the specs on your gaming rig? (Answer!)
A. It's a laptop with AMD Turion 64x2 1.8GHz processor, 15.4" LCD screen, ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 v-card, 160GB HDD and 2GB RAM. Kind of sucks for the best games, but I'm going to live with it for at least a year more.
A. Depends on my mood :P Actually, I tend to reinstall Windows and my games pretty often, so it changes often too.
Q. What are your most memorable achievements in a game? (Answer!)
A. Becoming a GM on a private WoW server, and refraining of using GM commands when playing my own characters. It's no fun to write a line or two to get the max level and best items.
Q. What experience do you have beta-testing games? (Answer!)
Q. What is your first computer or video gaming memory? (Answer!)
A. Hah, my mom gave me to play some MS-DOS games on her work computer when my father and I went to her work, when she had some work undone and stayed at work for an hour or so more :P I still remember Supaplex :)
Q. If you could cancel any online game, which would it be? (Answer!)
A. World of Warcraft, it has gotten attention of too many gamers, which is somewhat unfair to the other games, yet they've right to have that amount of players, by having made such a good game
Q. Do you feel relationships within games are meaningful? (Answer!)
A. Some of the in-game friends I have had, have remained as my internet friends, so partially yes
Q. What are your favorite tabletop (RPG, board, miniatures, etc.) games? (Answer!)

Q. Where did you get your gaming names from? (Answer!)
A. My first nickname - DeadlyAK was suggested by my brother and his mates at the time when the only multiplayer game I played was CS. Next nickname, Denmad, I thought of by mixing a few letters randomly. I wanted to have some better nickname at that time.
My nickname now - doqunbop - I thought of by searching on Google for something not existing, which means, unique. I wanted something that starts with D, as my previous nicknames did. What's interesting about my name is that if you rotate it 180 degrees, it's still the same :)
A. No, I feel voice chat detracts from the game
Q. What music do you like to play games to? (Answer!)
A. Anything that fits the motives of the game, or Evanescence (I never get tired of listening to Evanescence :P)
Q. What question would you add to the Attitudes system? (Answer!)
A. "What do you think of having to answer to this many questions to be satisfied that you have done them all?" :P
Q. What are your thoughts on player-made mods/addons for games? (Answer!)
A. Difference is good at some times. But some mods/addons really go too far, by including sexual or too violent content.
Q. What sort of tools (calculators, builders, spreadsheets, etc.) do you use to plan your characters? (Answer!)
Q. How many hours a week do you play? (Answer!)
Q. What is the most overlooked or misunderstood game? (Answer!)
Q. Do your quiz results on GamerDNA reflect your personality, and if not, what did it get wrong? (Answer!)
A. Some of them seems a bit wrong. Maybe it's just the system that doesn't calculate it 100% correctly, or it might be myself who thinks otherwise of me :P
