I don't really have many of those. How badly I want a game usually fits with how much I would pay for it, so there isn't much trouble with that. I guess a few obscure Pokémon games could go on the list for collection purposes, though.

Depends on the situation. Online and off VR, I ignore it. On VR, I attempt to get rid of it. In real life, I may poke in the conversation to counter some arguments.

PC gaming does tend to give better graphics opportunities, but it seems like I always go towards basic/simple games when playing on the computer, and I instead prefer consoles for my games. Unless, of course, you mean Steam, which I think has a lot of flaws that make me avoid it whenever possible.

Nothing of interest. Really, it's gotten quite boring in recent years, notably including the fact I haven't watched the ball drop in a few years. A few previous years, I spent New Year's in Animal Crossing: City Folk.

Hm, I've never been a fan of entire albums, mostly just individual songs. I'm not too fond of "breakout" albums where a group entirely changes their genre for an album to test if it's marketable (looking at you, Taylor Swift), but sometimes they work well.

Where is the best place you have ever been?

One of my favorite places is Zion National Park, simply because of how beautiful it is and all the memories I've had there.

If you could rename your kitten, what would it be?

"Mini Kitty"

Nah, kidding. I don't know what I'd name her. August is a boring name.

I do believe I have a new response to that question: ELOQUENT for 284 points.

1. What is the etymology of "cat333pokemon?"
2. Can you recite pi backwards?
3. Is this statement false?

1. In October 2002, I had to come up with a good name for an e-mail address. At the time, I wanted something related to either cats or Pokémon, but most of the permutations I tried were taken. After many tries, I came up with "cat333pokemon" as a username, and it stuck. I've used that name pretty much ever since.

2. Considering it has no end, nope.

3. Don't think about it, don't think about it...

Seeing that you have quite a bit of subscribers and views on your Youtube account, are you in a partnership with them? (If this is too nosy, please don't feel obligated to answer).

Yes, and I was one before they were given away like candy. Now, I don't even care.

Are you much in contact with Super Skarmory? I recall him saying once the only people he left in his channel box were people he kind of-sort of knew after TGS dropped that requirement.

Edit: Oh and I've heard a rumor that they were going to tighten up on partnership requirements again when YouTube started cracking down on copyright. Do you believe that?

I haven't talked to Eyan/SuperSkarmory in several years. He was one of the few people I looked up to, though, even though he was a little arrogant at times (but who wasn't?).

I don't really believe it that much, but it certainly wouldn't hurt.

Where do you ideally see yourself in 3 or 4 years?

That's a complex question, but I have actually been thinking about things like that with my graduation coming soon.

The easy answer, though: I see myself living in an apartment and working for a computing company, likely still located in or near Las Vegas.

Would you ever go to a convention like MAGfest or Pax?

I've been to one, and it turned out to be a sham: the Las Pegasus Unicon, which was a convention for Friendship is Magic.

The operators were in it to scam visitors and booth owners out of their money. They involved a "fun" currency ("vender bits" [sic]) and said that people with the currency would be reimbursed with real cash at the end of the event; all vendors were required to accept it as if it was legal US tender and were supposed to recommend it to guests for change. In addition, they hired a large number of voice actors. Finally, they had offered many people discounted lodging packages with local hotels.

For the folks who went on Friday or Saturday, didn't get involved in the play money, and either lived locally or integrated it with their own hotel package, it was actually a great convention, with many bronies/pegasisters dressed up and enjoying the festivities and panels with the cast and crew for the show. Vendors had all kinds of great merchandise and product demonstrations. I had a hard time keeping my cash.

However, on Sunday, the owners went on the lam. Nobody could exchange the phony currency, the voice actors weren't paid, and--this was the worst--they defaulted on all the hotel bills, meaning many people who bought those lodging packages from them and didn't have much money were stuck in Las Vegas when they had to pay again for the hotel bills. They also only paid for part of the reservation, reportedly stole cash from the cash box at ticketing, and pointed fingers whenever a financial problem arose.

Overall, the entire convention was a money-laundering scheme.

Yuck. Would you consider going to a different one that has a better reputation at least? One that'd already happened for a couple of years maybe? I went to LeakyCon last Summer and I don't think anything like that happened there.

Yes, I would consider going to another one as long as it had a better reputation.
