A most excellent choice for a man crush 😉 I really related to Mulder. I liked that he found hope in frightening possibilities, and built his faith around it.

Opening doors in time and space. You?

I didn't even know it existed. That is awesome! I keep wishing someone would adapt Hyperion. For me: BSG, Firefly, Star Trek (most of them), Doctor Who, Torchwood, The Expanse, Fringe, X-Files, and plenty more in the more generally speculative realm.

Sum up the essential challenge of your life in one word?

Good grief. How could I forget to mention Firefly? I never stop holding out hope that there will be a reboot/Season 2 someday. Genesis P-Orridge, for living a totally honest, unconventional life, and for being kind. I also admire Rogue from the Cruxshadows and David Eugene Edwards of Wovenhand for their honesty in art as well. What celebrities do you admire?

Favorite Star Wars film?

That's about the only use of a smartphone that's ever sounded exciting to me. Lost, Battlestar Galactica, Prison Break, Doctor Who, Torchwood, pretty much anything Bryan Fuller has worked on, Once Upon a Time, Star Trek (most of them), The Expanse, Cobra Kai, Fringe, I can go on and on. What are yours? Society needs to give up bigotry in all of its forms.

Nice answer! That's amazing.

Next question: Favorite sci-fi TV series?

What games would you be most excited to play in virtual reality? I would really love to try Bioshock Infinite in 3D. What’s funny is that when I started the game originally, I felt really overwhelmed by the environment (kind of a combination of motion sickness and agoraphobia, heh). I remember thinking in 3D it would be too much. But now that I’ve adjusted, I would love to be even more immersed in the game’s amazing atmosphere.

What are your favorite clothing items or armor in video games, whether for aesthetic or functional reasons? Visually, I love the Daedric armor in Skyrim.

I’m way behind the times when it come to shooters (sadly). So my experience with vehicles in shooters really is confined to where they show up in some UT 2004 game modes, lol. Anyway, I never liked them. I find them unwieldy. I’m curious if vehicles in shooters have evolved into being more usable over the years, or is this just a subjective hang-up I have?

Nice answer. I don't know why I didn't think of "practical" for myself. Driving (if that counts). Yours? Sounds cute :)

That's a contender for me for sure, as well as Aliens. Also: The Martian, Gravity, Rogue One, Forbidden Planet, The Wrath of Khan, The Abyss, Star Trek: First Contact, all Riddick movies.

What's the best compliment you've been paid?

Those were the days ... I really miss when I could do the same thing. Compassionate, defiant rulebreaker. Your turn :) Ocean's 11 and Collateral. You? I have a cat. What about you?

That would probably be my question as well. Excellent answer! Taken with the previous answer, this prompts my next question. Are you a Trekkie?

Btw, can I jump into this game without playing its predecessors? Hahah. Kinda makes me think of the two weight loss diets which worked for me: food poisoning and a jaw injury.

What is your favourite science fiction movie of all time?

which type of curry? Red curry is my favourite.

How much time on average do you wait between finishing an amazing game and playing it again? Do you start again immediately? Or do you wait weeks? Months? Years? Is there a period of time which you’ve found is ideal in terms of keeping the game fresh/getting more out of it the second time around? I feel like when I finish Bioshock Infinite (currently on my first playthrough), I will just want to dive right back into it again. But I don’t want to do it too soon/often and “get used to” the amazing environment.

What moments in video games have left a lasting impact on you from an emotional point of view? The one that sticks with me the most is Joel and Ellie watching the giraffes in The Last of Us. Another one I think of is Morrigan’s reaction in Dragon Age: Origins when I gifted her a mirror.

What micro-organism would be cutest if it were blown up to the size of a cat?

What game have you played which scared you the most? This could mean jumping out of your seat in surprise when an enemy jumped you in a creepy environment, or in terms of concepts which you mulled over hours later which were just downright disturbing.

Kind of a broad topic, but what is the most innovative game you ever played? This could be in terms of game play mechanics or any other aspect.
