| Topic | Do you have any collections of items? |
| CaptainObvius 12/30/19 6:19:41 AM #43 | fallout bobbleheads, and classic horror movie posters. I have 12 of the bobbleheads. For the classic horror movie posters I have: Dracula, Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, The Mummy, Creature from the Black Lagoon, The Blob, Phantom of the Opera, House of Wax, House on Haunted Hill, and Attack of the Puppet People. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | I am not an anti-social gamer, but I am a soloist. |
| CaptainObvius 12/29/19 10:53:11 PM #5 | I am mostly a soloist as well. I do like playing with the right people. If they take the game too seriously, I usually back out and keep soloing. I was fortunate to play with a bunch of really cool people in my ffxi days, and still keep on touch with most of them. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Would you actually want to marry a catgirl IRL? |
| CaptainObvius 12/23/19 5:33:16 AM #49 | I immediately thought of Tricia Helfer in that Sony tv show "Powers." If that were the case I am on board. She was definitely more on the human side, and she could control her cat side. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | What's a mediocre-to-good game or franchise you'd like to get a second chance? |
| CaptainObvius 12/21/19 10:34:55 PM #28 | They aren't mediocre, they are excellent, but I would like to see breath of fire, and shadow hearts give it another shot. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | How much control over your work hours do you have? |
| CaptainObvius 12/18/19 3:52:31 PM #21 | I make my own schedule, but I am also on call 24/7 in case of emergencies. I don't mind, however emergencies always seem to crop up on my designated day off. It is a bit exhausting. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | We have to use PTO if we want to get paid for Christmas Day |
| CaptainObvius 12/17/19 6:47:09 AM #23 | I understand getting paid extra for working on holidays. But I don't understand getting paid for not working them. Every job I have ever had, you need to give them notice and use saved PTO for holidays off. Working on holidays I usually get holiday pay, (my past hourly jobs it was time and a half, or double time) or a bonus. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | In general would you say you're in good health at the moment? |
| CaptainObvius 12/16/19 3:17:15 PM #17 | Still slightly overweight, but getting healthier every day. Hopefully I should reach my fitness goals by February. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Do you usually average more or less than the recommended 8 hrs of sleep a night? |
| CaptainObvius 12/16/19 3:11:12 PM #14 | Lately, I sleep 3 hours at a time. Then I get vacation time and the first 12-16hours I am usually asleep. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | What are you reading? |
| CaptainObvius 12/12/19 11:13:26 PM #12 | Just found an old copy of I, robot. I read that and The Illustrated Man. I've been in a nostalgic scifi mood lately. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | How many total pairs of shoes that you own? |
| CaptainObvius 12/12/19 6:45:14 AM #21 | One pair for work, one pair for comfort, one pair of dress shoes, one for running, one for camping/hiking. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | You get 3 wishes |
| CaptainObvius 12/12/19 6:39:17 AM #67 | Assuming the genie isn't a trickster... 1. To have the intelligence, knowledge, and engineering ability to create upgrade and maintain, a full dive style gaming system along the lines of SAO, and ready player one. Along with several games/worlds. This should make me a millionaire at least. 2. To always be physically strong, and in perfect health, no matter what I eat and take part in. 3. To have gate mage powers from the Orson Scott Card, Mithermage books. This will give me ability to learn languages fast, teleportation, and ability to heal others. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Is college worth it |
| CaptainObvius 12/07/19 12:07:26 AM #31 | For me personally, it wouldn't have been worth it. I have trouble staying motivated when I have no interest in the subject matter, and I had no idea what I wanted to major in. I just spent the time working up in my current job and investing my extra dollars in real estate. It turns out that was a good choice for me. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Have any of you ever met a celebrity? |
| CaptainObvius 11/30/19 9:17:28 PM #40 | My sister tried to take a picture of John Barrowman in a wonder woman outfit at a convention. He shut her down pretty quick. Weird Al, after one of his concerts in orange county (he also went to high school with an aunt.) I took a guided meditation class with Virginia Hey. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | What size are your pants? |
| CaptainObvius 11/19/19 8:19:04 PM #29 | Was a 40 this February, currently down to 34 :) --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | I'd rather live without eating meat, than without bread. How about you? |
| CaptainObvius 11/19/19 11:30:18 AM #13 | I miss bread daily. I started a Keto diet 8 months ago, and I manage a chain of bakeries. Tough to be around all those fresh baked goods all the time and can't have any. On the plus side I am down to 180lbs, from 245. On that note, if weight loss wasn't an issue, I would give up meat for bread easily. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | What are five things you'd like to do but can't because of money? |
| CaptainObvius 11/09/19 4:42:22 AM #15 | I have always wanted to own my own coffee shop, Pay off my family's mortgages, go to witcher school in Poland, try that thing where a pod takes you to the edge of the atmosphere and drops you, not sure about the last one, I think I am good with four. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Are you subbing Disney+ next week? |
| CaptainObvius 11/07/19 7:25:00 AM #34 | I used to have too many streaming services. I just canceled HBO, and Netflix. Now I just rely on Amazon prime, and hulu. I might get Disney+, but I would need to be able to browse the content first to decide. I will wait for a free week trial to test it out. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | You get a job offer to beta test a new VR game...... |
| CaptainObvius 10/21/19 3:07:59 PM #35 | I would definitely sign up. Three months wouldn't be too bad for me as long as all of my immediate family/friends knew I was okay. Assuming the world was massive I could spend all of my time just exploring low level zones. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | would you rather have the muensters or the addams family next door to you? |
| CaptainObvius 10/15/19 11:01:19 AM #13 | The Addams, while they are fairly destructive to their environment, they are really courteous hosts. Only TV show Addams though. Could probably end up working for Gomez and making lots of moolah. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Do you think prime simpsons or south park was funnier? |
| CaptainObvius 10/10/19 4:14:49 AM #9 | I never enjoyed south park personally. The voices just bothered me. I will say Simpsons, although past few seasons were a little disappointing. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | What day of the week does it start on? |
| CaptainObvius 09/28/19 11:43:08 PM #38 | My work week starts on Tuesday for some reason. Since I have been working like this eleven years I consider it the beginning of my week. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Who would you say are the best characters in Borderlands 2 and Pre? |
| CaptainObvius 09/23/19 1:32:04 AM #17 | Personally I loved Zero in 2, and Aurelia in the pre-sequel. Although all of the characters were awesome in their own way. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Do you have a television? |
| CaptainObvius 09/22/19 9:28:53 PM #21 | One in each room except the kitchen. I just kind of accumulate them as I upgrade, and none of my family/friends need them. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Favorite type of meat... |
| CaptainObvius 09/22/19 1:36:53 AM #13 | Prosciutto on a sandwich with mozzarella and olive salad from my local four winds market. Amazing sandwich, and I could snack on prosciutto all day. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | What is your favorite "old person" show from back in the day? |
| CaptainObvius 09/22/19 1:34:00 AM #42 | Red Skelton show Mash Addams family I love watching older tv shows. I just finished Mash again, and i'm working my way through family matters. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | trailer for the are you afraid of the dark mini series from nickelodeon |
| CaptainObvius 09/14/19 2:31:12 AM #5 | Loved the original series. Not sure how I feel about them making a new one. Now I have to search for the old series and binge it on my days off. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Have you ever had 2 jobs at once? |
| CaptainObvius 09/12/19 2:31:25 PM #12 | Two jobs and college courses at the same time. That was the most exhausting year I can remember. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Are there any of your neighbors that you can't stand? |
| CaptainObvius 09/09/19 12:48:24 PM #20 | Yeah the lady next door is crazy. She constantly calls code enforcement on us because she thinks the lawn is too high, it never is. And I haven't been able to prove it but I think her kid throws stuff at my dogs. One of those that is always snooping on other people. It got a bit better since my sister stayed with me and parked her crime scene van out front. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Does your Family still own the HOUSE you grew up in??? |
| CaptainObvius 09/08/19 12:05:36 PM #16 | I wish we still owned it. The location was awesome, and while it was very old it was a massive house. They sold it when I was sixteen and now I have my own house. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | What super hero or villain to you want to see or see again? |
| CaptainObvius 09/05/19 2:55:11 PM #53 | My top three would be: Martian manhunter, Ghost rider, Silver surfer. I can't decide on a favorite between them. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Would you like red light cameras in your area? |
| CaptainObvius 08/31/19 2:12:56 PM #39 | mooreandrew58 posted... I would guess he reported it stolen then someone got caught having the tags driving past a camera.Yeah, that's pretty much what happened. My mustang was a pretty popular target to have the license plates stolen. It happened three times. Finally I found put about the lock bolts to keep it from happening. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Would you like red light cameras in your area? |
| CaptainObvius 08/30/19 5:33:15 PM #35 | On one hand I like them because they helped catch the person that kept stealing my license plates. On the other, I hate them because people drive even worse around them and end up causing more problems than they help solve. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Fast food delivery is a scam. |
| CaptainObvius 08/30/19 12:16:22 AM #85 | If I have to choose I always get active before work as opposed to after. But honestly even a brisk walk in summer weather can be incredibly exhausting. Today in my area we hit 95F andwith the added 70-80% humidity, an hour walk can be very uncomfortable experience. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Beer isn't for me I guess. |
| CaptainObvius 08/28/19 7:58:50 PM #17 | I was the same for a while. Tasted a while bunch of different types of beer until one day I found I enjoyed certain beers. Dos Equis lager is by far my favorite right now. Make sure it is cold and with a lime. But yeah, never feel like you need to drink beer. I'm mostly a tequila, or mixed drinks kinda guy myself. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Which of these popular superpowers would you want? |
| CaptainObvius 08/22/19 3:51:22 AM #66 | Probably Telekinesis or shapeshifting. If it is Chronicle style telekinesis I am all in. Using it to fly, deflect pretty much any attack, manipulating locks, improving my own balance. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | How often do you eat fast food? |
| CaptainObvius 07/26/19 6:54:15 AM #24 | I have been fast food free for 5 months. Used to be 2-4 times a week. I got some cookbooks, and try new recipes as often as I can. Ended up losing 50ish lbs. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | 20 Years to future, 20 years to the past, or stay present. |
| CaptainObvius 07/16/19 10:15:17 AM #29 | If i would be transfering into my own body, the past. If I would stay my same age, the future. I am very happy where I am right now, but i am also curious about what the world will look like in twenty years. If I transferred into my own body, I might be dead in the future. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | it's funny how there's a city in California called Ontario |
| CaptainObvius 07/16/19 10:05:43 AM #17 | Tried to get an airline ticket to Los Angeles recently, and the only tickets that would pop up on the website were for Ontario. Thought i was crazy for a while until I checked it out on Google maps. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Lowest class score |
| CaptainObvius 07/15/19 1:52:35 AM #18 | Lowest was probably my Criminal law class 68%. Right around the time I decided to drop out. Mostly I just didn't care about it. that class was the most bored I have ever been in college. Probably fell asleep 3/4 of the time. Everything else was over 85%. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Do Cheers and Frasier hold up? |
| CaptainObvius 07/13/19 1:54:15 AM #16 | Frasier still makes me laugh. David Hyde Pierce is the best part of that show. I never actually tried Cheers, but I hear from family it is pretty funny. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Objectively whats the most you ever spend on something? |
| CaptainObvius 07/04/19 3:43:54 AM #19 | I just upgraded my house, new appliances, new home theatre, and wood floors. Probably total around 10k. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | First time watching The Office. Jim is a massive prick (spoilers) |
| CaptainObvius 07/02/19 6:53:41 AM #18 | Dwight was a little too intense. Sometimes he just needed to be taken down a peg, and Jim fit that bill nicely without going too overboard. Worse than that was how Angela treated most people. She cheated on practically every person she dated except dwight. And treated Phyllis like garbage. Great show though. I always come back to it when I need a laugh. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Who is your favorite Halliwell sister? |
| CaptainObvius 07/01/19 1:55:55 AM #5 | I Said piper. They are all better than the girls in the new show though. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Re: Halfway through 2019, what is your pick for Game of the Year so far? |
| CaptainObvius 06/29/19 5:22:42 PM #12 | Agree with alot of other people. This year wasn't impressive so far. But, we have borderlands 3, outer worlds, and a few others coming up, so 2019 can still be salvaged. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Favorite type of tequila? |
| CaptainObvius 06/28/19 6:47:39 PM #6 | Sauza for shots. Epsolon for margaritas. Patron if I am feeling like spending money. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | What sort of work shift would you want? |
| CaptainObvius 05/21/19 12:51:20 PM #18 | 4 days 10 hours. I currently work, on call 24/7. I am considering taking a demotion so I can have a 4/10 schedule. Would only be about .50/hr loss. Only thing keeping me in current position is overtime and a couple of perks like mileage. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | What are your top 5 favorite movies ever? |
| CaptainObvius 05/21/19 4:41:07 AM #10 | Serenity Terminator 2 Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs Fifth Element Ralph Bakshi's Wizards --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Would you do two weeks of total isolation to never be sick? |
| CaptainObvius 05/17/19 1:09:45 AM #60 | I would give it a try. I think I could manage it. I don't need sun, I work nights and I am rarely awake when the sun is out. I get maybe a couple hours of sunlight a day as it is and mostly inside when the sun is out. Granted I would hit a wall at about a week, but I think I could overcome. Would be incredibly difficult, but doable. I am excellent about keeping myself occupied. Nothing is in the room but we still have our clothes right? I could make puppet shows with my socks(ever see rocket man?), exercise, roll my clothes into a ball and throw it around, or just mentally keep writing my book, meditate, and sleep. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
