Fun fact: I don't have any guilty pleasures! I think that's kind of an unspoken hallmark of many of the core Nerdy Show crew. We love what we love and we're not ashamed of it. Especially video games... I'm hard pressed to even come up with something acceptable. I guess if I was secretly into Farmville I should feel a great sense of regret and hide my shame, but... Games like that aren't for me. Some folks are ashamed to say these days that they like Halo since all the bros are into it. But I don't care. Halo's fun. I like the world they created, I like the simple controls, and I love the Arbiter. Love what you love, don't give a damn what people think.

The score for the Ocean SNES adaptation of the mid-90s Flintstones movie is AMAZING. The game itself is wretched. The score is chill, guitar-driven electronic music by Dean Evans. Here's a taste: http://youtu.be/WeNgNfi6-6U
Evans actually has a youtube account where he's uploaded some of his tracks, including explaining some of the music included on the cartridge but not featured in game: http://youtu.be/WRF_7xsu10c -
Balloons. Motherfucking balloons.

Well, first we must look at what goes into a a Dorito...
Whole Corn, Vegetable Oil (Contains One or More of the Following: Corn, Soybean and/or Sunflower Oil), Corn Maltodextrin, Salt, Tomato Powder, Corn Starch, Lactose, Whey, Nonfat Milk, Corn Syrup Solids, Onion Powder, Sugar, Garlic Powder, Monosodium Glutamate, Cheddar Cheese (Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes), Surf Ninjas, Dextrose, Malic Acid, Buttermilk, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Sodium Acetate, Artificial Color (Including Red 40, 24k Gold, Blue 1, Yellow 5), Sodium Caseinate, Dragon Semen, Spice, Citric Acid, Disodium Inosinate, and Disodium Guanylate.
It's a long list. No one ingredient has addictive properties by itself... But maybe you'll recognize the combination of Dragon Semen and MSG by its street name: angel dust. -
Is this some kind of ad to get people to join PureBloggers? If not, sorry for the skepticism, but I've seen a lot of possible subversive ads/ datamining questions of Formspring lately. In short: no to both. In long: I do have a tumblr, which can be blog-ish from time to time: http://www.tumblr.com/blog/capblackard and I do have a poorly-kept blogspot which was meant to be for news and updates on my projects: http://capblackardnews.blogspot.com/ but mostly I spend my time working on stuff for Consequence of Sound or Nerdy Show. No time to blog my life when I'm chronicling it through work (kinda)

Negative electric potential is the lack of potential energy (measured in Beats Per Minute) that results in from progressive Bmoluoc forces and is associated with the configuration of a particular set of limited negative charges within an infinite system. If you put your dick in a socket outfitted with an NEP field, you'll meet the devil.

Okay- so Mutagen... It's a bit inconsistent with how it works. Now, Dan you were very specific to the '89 series, so that helps a lot. The core mechanism behind that Mutagen is that is it mutates you into a genetic hybrid of the last other living creature you've come into contact with. However- that means that I'm at the zoo, and am unwittingly splashed with Mutagen running towards a creature at the zoo will do me no good. It'll be whatever I last touched. That could be disastrous. Could've swatted a mosquito or come in contact with some other less-than-glamorous creature. And they've never been clear about what happens if a human has last been in contact with another human (never mind that Mutagen having rules like this is ridiculous). Also, if I remember correctly there are some instances where the Mutagen actually combines both entities if they're next to each other rather than singling one out or making two mutants. So that's an interesting additional problem.
For the sake of the question, lets say that I knew I was going to get dipped in the ooze but I had the chance to touch an animal of my choosing from the zoo. If I was in a situation where it's the zoo's operating hours and I had to get to an animal within a time limit while dodging guards and overcoming obstacles things could get really tricky. I might just have to settle for something that's likely to be in an open area like a rhino, giraffe, or maybe even a petting zoo creature. In that case I'd probably spring for the petting zoo just to get something guaranteed to not be miserable like a horse or a sheep. However, if I had the chance to be really clever about it and get exactly the most preferable thing I'd spring for a tiger or other large cat. I'm sure that surprises approximately no one. -
Is there such a thing as formspring spam? Is this it? If not, sorry - just so many similar, vague questions. I feel like I'm being categorized for more accurate advertising. Yup we've got here a 28 year old male who wishes he was a 17 year old by who likes spicy southwestern food and has an interest in computers. Send him all the Del Taco ads you can and deals on discount keyboards!
But, should you be a real-live person, here's my answer. If you are a robit I'll punch your face. Choose your next move wisely.
I don't do delivery very often, I'm more of a takeout guy. No curb-side pickup, mind you. (Stop taking up all the damn parking and eat restaurant food in the restaurant like the rest of us, jackoff!) But I also don't order takeout often. When I do it's most often WingZone as they're the finest spicy wing makers I know. They are both my favorite and most often-used delivery choice. Crazy good mozzarella sticks too. -
Once, while attending a teen-aged birthday of Colin C. Peterson we were playing a question-based card game of sorts and this come up. I've had time to prepare.
I'd rather be really cold. Intense, sleep inducing numbness beats the hell out of being baked alive. Maybe I'm wrong about that, but that's what we decided then, and that's what I say now. -

Now it's my turn: Are you a bot or is that just a popular question? -
Well... I'm nearing 30 (28 soon) so that's not an exciting prospect. Not that there's anything wrong with that, I'm comfortable with aging. I'm even comfortable with the grey hairs I've got (hoping for that sweet Reed Richards look). Gotta look on the bright side, right? But biologically getting old is a drag. I'm already starting to get fun health problems etc. A perpetual 15-17 or so is an interesting prospect. Yeah, the occasional zit outbreak blows, but a better metabolism would be nice. Realistically, 23 or 24 would probably be ideal. Just old enough to have yourself physically sorted out, but just before things start getting too real. I'm talking about just de-aging the body, so if that's not what you meant, ask again.
On a similar note, Nerdy Show's Sci-tech Jon informs me that the science of eliminating aging in the human body is making leaps and bounds. Maybe we'll be able to stall it out some day soon. Don't want to live forever, by any means. I mean- have you seen Highlander 2? It sucks! But being able to choose your state of being is an interesting prospect. Though... I'm kind of a naturalist so maybe I'll be inclined to renounce this game-changing science. -
Computers! I hear they're the future!
Scientists say that there could be a computer in every home some day. Can you imagine that? They're so big! Some people are even using computers to make electronic music, if you can believe that. Just all numbers! I'll believe it when I see it.
I'm also pretty excited about the two pages of D&D issue 2 I wrote last night. Page count is up to 5. Only 18 more to go! -

Choosing the "best" artist in a genre of music you don't like, and being educated with that selection is hard, man. Does muzak even have artists? Are there known names associated with it? I don't even. I'm not a big fan of metal. Now, I know that playing in a metal band, no matter what instrument, and doing it well, is one of the hardest damn things you can do, freaking insane in fact. I really respect it. But it's not for me. I'm too smooth at heart. That said, the artist I most respect in the metal genre, exclusively because they're both very talented and I can get into it is Dethklok. Brendan Small and co. do the genre they parody great honor and they're witty enough that they keep my attention.

Oh yeah, it's shit. I like each of them for different reasons, though. And in a lot of ways I'm glad they're seperate entities. Each of them do different things and everyone can spend more time on the on that they actually care about. Link 'em up and you can have a presence on one without really trying, keeping friends/fans/followers from the thing you don't use informed. Promoting for Nerdy Show, we have to use all of them so that we can make a connection with all the different preferences. But for personal use I feel like it's getting easier to simply choose your favorietes.

Whether it's absorbing strange pop culture or expresing myself on my own terms, I've always been involved in nerdy activities. But I've never been a fan of lables. I suppose it was just an acceptance over time (and not one that took long to piece together) that I was a nerd. I've always, often billligerently, been me. Growing up being a peculiarly-shaped fat/chubby kid with unsual interests it's easy to become an outsider in your peer group. But if there ever was a lable I was into it was "weird". I loved being weird. I guess that easily translated into an acceptance of nerdy as well, and nerdy was something that the other kids got. Nerd acceptance was starting to filter in. Maybe late middle school or early high school is proably would've been when I was fully down with being a "nerd", knowing that there's no shame in it, and that, it is in fact quite awesome.

Maybe I haven't thought this over enough, but a TNG tricorder seems profoundly useful. And if I felt like it I could sell the tech for buttloads of latinum.

That's a toughie because most of the movie worlds that fascinate me the most are places I wouldn't want to actually exist in. Visit maybe, but being born there and living life there seems less desirable. Examples: Brazil, Blade Runner, Fifth Element (though Fifth Element's strange future seems much more do-able than the first two). The things I'm most interested to experience myself are side-steps of reality. Thinking in those terms I'd love to live in a world where things like the Zevo Toy Company, with all their folding houses and so on can actually viably exist. So Toys. Toys is the answer for now. If I can think of another I'll post it.

Depends on the lunar cycle. Also the light cycle.

Aw dang - not in the form of a question! Bummer, dude.
You should proably ask your mom about it though. I'm sure she'd tell it better than I would. Remember to phrase it as a question, though!
