Where is biscuitcruiser when u need him? lol

Given the choice, would you rather live with the memories of gaming in the 80s or 90s? .. and why (if youcan be bothered)

I guess the 90's since that was when Final Fantasy 7 came out which to this day ranks as one of my favorite games of all time

Do you like any of the "adult cartoons"? Southpark, Archer, Duckman, etc.. Not porn.

Archer is beyond hysterical! Southpark can be funny but they have a lot of meh moments

What is your favourite music genre? Old Rock, Pink Floyd type music

Do you like Gamespot? I've been here as solidruss for almost 10 years you tell me ;)

What do you think of me? Stick around for 10k I'll tell ya then :P

Have you ever considered stepping down as a mod and becoming a regular user again?

Not really, I like helping out the community, and this is the best was I can do that

Also, are you as awesome as your longtime avatar?

Not so much no :P

Did you like being in the hotseat? It was fun

What's another union you would want to see on GS? None really they have been done to death

Which GS mod would you want to meet? Whole bunch of them I won't mention names to avoid favoritism :P

Least favorite type of threads in OT? Politics and Religion, they have never changed a persons mind and all they do is get people into trouble

For your first moderation, who would you want to be the one to moderate you? spazz, if he ever comes back. We were both in the same group that became mods years ago

What is the best part about being a moderator for you?

Being able to give back to the community, the GameSpot staff have a huge workload and it's nice to knw we are helping them out

What did you think of the match between Undertaker and Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania 27?

It was alright, kinda hard to get excitied when Taker always wins

What is your favorite role-playing game of all time?

Final Fantasy 7

Finally, when you were a kid, what was the best Christmas gift you ever received?

Red Ryder BB Gun

Baconbits2004

Ooh nice to see an archer fan. ;3

Since I don't think anyone else has asked something like this yet... besides a 'lack of time' what is the most realistic reason you could see yourself giving up your mod tags?

Hard to say since most that have left it was mainly lack of time that was the cause. I dunno something major would have to change in the community I guess?

Anyways solidruss. If your life were a movie, who do you think would be a good actor to play you?

Jason Statham, while it really wouldn't be accurate, it would seriously kick ass

If I were to pay you 1.000.000.000 dollors for you to shoot me in the head, would you do it?

Well this is awkward...

What is your favorite thing to do on a rainy day/night?

Typically read or videogaming, shocker I know

Would you like to live in Gotham city?

Nah, too violent :P

Would you feel safe if vampires and other mythological beings existed?

They exisit?!?!?!? :O

Do you use the editor here at GS?

On and off, when it's glitchy not so much

Which spelling mistake annoys you most?

liek i don now

Are you a grammar nazi?

Not really, kinda get annoyed with people that won't be bothered spelling out words, and only say things like "K" instead of okay

Hallo solidruss =]

During your time as a moderator what's the one thing you did, or action you took, that you feel the most guilt or remorse regarding looking back?

Remorse or guilt would imply the moderation should not have been made, so no, never remorse or guilt. If it turned out the moderation was wrong it is easily reversed.

Have you ever, or do you ever, discuss regular users' posting habits on private moderator boards in a fashion actually unrelated to any particular moderation issue?

Can't comment on what may or may not go on behind closed doors sorry.

Would you say you tend to shy away from awkward questions?

Not really, but I guess it would depend on the question

What is your favorite thing to do on a rainy day/night?

Steameffekt

I just wanna say, your avatar (and that matching sig when you had it) is just delicious win :)

Do you like any Final Fantasy games? If so which ones?

Mentioned it a few times, FF7

Do you like classical music?

I actually do, nothing in particular but i do enjoy it

Spamming in a thread that announces it has the attention of the moderators. Now that's gutsy :lol:

What's your favorite Stone Cold moment?

I have lots but I do lovehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKz0_JngFmg

When the glass smashes man what a pop from the audience!

Not sure if asked already...favourite beer?

Someone else did butYuengling, Amstel Light, and a few Saranac brands.

If I were to pay you 1.000.000.000 dollars for you to shoot me in the head, would you do it?

Well this is awkward...

What are the three things you love and dislike about the GS forums?

Can't really say anything I dislike about the forums, some of the topics get old I guess. As far as what I love? How the community becomes almost a family

If you could change some things about how the forums, what would they be?

While I know it will never happen get rid of religion and politics threads, they serve no purpose, no one has ever changed their minds in one of them and all they do is get people into trouble

Anybody bored and want 10k in profile points? List all urls here for every hotseat thread. First user to list all gets the points. Please do NOT spam this thread. Keep them all in one post and thanks!

who would you go out with? jody or allicrombie?

Not a fair question and my age keeps me out of the race

[QUOTE="ExoticAnimal"][QUOTE="Allicrombie"] I voted for Hallenbeck. >.>Allicrombie

My bad, i did a copy and paste from the hotseat thread I didn't realize it was wrong :P

Do you think that AdobeArtist should start making sigs for everybody here in Gamespot?

Sounds like a full-time job, unless they pay him I would say no

Is Russ still answering questions or have we moved on?

As far as I know until Wednesday

[QUOTE="Allicrombie"][QUOTE="ExoticAnimal"] Why is his name misspelled? Not the first time this has happened. :PHallenbeck77

Okay, I think I got your name right Hasselbeck! :P
