How do you think having siblings (or not having siblings) affects who you are as a person?
I think Roslyn would have a stronger feeling on this as I would.
Having siblings: did they exactly form up and affect me? Sure you could use "affect", but that's about as far as it goes. Roslyn and Seroja were more influenced by me than the other way around.
Lovely kids, though.
The seventh season of "American Idol" premieres tonight. Will you be watching, or are you over it?
Never been much of a fan, really.
What are your rituals or traditions for starting off a new year?
I cry at midnight, not out of joy, not out of happiness, nor of sadness, but because I realize my fleeting youth. Eighteen this year. Killzone approaches.
Oh well.
What's the best book you read this year?
By and far:
Lots of people are debating my actual position on Only Revolutions, but I think I love it too. Not the absolute favorite, but a very critically influential piece.
What was the best blog post you wrote this year? What was the best post or blog you read?
RockPaperShotgun wins all accolades, because now I no longer have to depend of dirty sites like GameSpot. But then again, I've never depended on them anyway.
With the best Gamer writers and some absurdistically humorous pieces, the Amirul B Ruslan 2007 best blog award goes to them and the Amirul B Ruslan 2007 best blog post award has to be the riotous, though arguably pointless, "interview with Warren Spector". If it's got Warren Spector and Nikola Tesla in it, obviously, it's going to rock.
Who do you want to be caught under the mistletoe with this holiday season?
Submitted by An Ebony Epicurean.
This is a lovely question!
However, for the intents and purposes of privacy, I cannot possibly answer.
Oh well, we don't have mistletoe here in Malaysia anyway. Real ones, at least.
What's your cure for the common cold?
Whatever it is, it's not working, because six days in I'm still very very sick. Okay, I act like I'm very very sick to get out of things, but I still have those god-awful antibiotics to go. Ah well.
Drew Carey recently replaced Bob Barker as the host of "The Price Is Right". What game show would you like to host?
Whose Line Is It Anyway. Why? Because the points don't matter, damn it.
What are your Major League Baseball playoff predictions?
WHO WATCHES BASEBALL? Eww.
"Halo 3" was released this week - did you get a copy? What are your early thoughts on this final installment of the blockbuster trilogy?
The Halo series is greatly overrated. It's disgusting. I've played only the first - and I intend to never play another Halo game ever, too - and it reeked of bad (and spectacularly repetitive) level design, a sci-fi storyline that never could even think of reaching the level of emotion that Half-Life 2 could do, weak characterization, blah blah blah blah blah.
I also don't like the fact that Halo 2's a Vista-only release, despite being an ugly two-year old game. Go play Medieval 2: Total War. That's gorgeous. I'd marry that, but she's stab me in the back oh so easily.
