We'll start off with this so it gets done....

Hooray! I've stopped being lazy! I wanted to have at least four before the end of the year, so here we are now at 2 of 4. This time around I've chosen the short answer format, you decide whether it's easier or harder to answer now.

Here we go, multi-question:

  1. Favorite fuzzy video game character/mascot
  2. Name a flavor of iMac that does not exist yet, that you would never buy but some people might....
  3. If you were at a skeet shooting range, and they were all out of clay pigeons and plates to shoot at, what would you use as a substitute?

Max B. Beckler:
  1. Cait Sith (FF7) or ChuChu (Xenogears)
  2. Cinnamon Bun
  3. Small mammals. Small children. Fine china. Old computers. Cinnamon Bun iWhacks. Laptops. AOL cds. *Not necessarily in that order!*
Omar Jenkins:
  1. Alice from "American McGee's Alice." It's a morbid take on the Alice in Wonderland story using the Quake III engine.
  2. Nightshade
  3. AOL discs. I'd get extra points if I shot through the center of the CD.
Eric LaCruze:
  1. The 'AFLAC' duck.
  2. Cherry Garcia.
  3. 'Cat' 'John Deere' and 'Ford' baseball caps.
Luke Loh:
  1. Sonic the Hedgehog
  2. Durian
  3. I don't know, the total morons perhaps? Might knock some sense into them. They'd be stupid enough to sign the exclusion of liability agreement, that's for sure.
Tom Castelli:
  1. fuzzy? DK, probably. I haven't given it much thought...
  2. Any flavor they could come up with. I would *never* buy an iMac. I have my standards, you know.
  3. Massachusetts Liberals. There are far too damn many of them, anyway.
Selena:
  1. Fuzzy? It must be fuzzy? Hmmph. Um...Red XII or whatever the number is?
  2. Fungus Fuschia (Or howver that's spelled)
  3. Republicans. Or shrunken republican heads, that would be even better and easier to throw in the air..
DJ Hangman:
  1. Mmmm....video games....I'm going to have to say it's Crash Bandicoot, if only for those ads with that guy dressed in a Crash outfit saying stupid stuff with a megaphone. Made me laugh...
  2. Pumpkin. Dear god, will this iCommerce never stop?
  3. No clay, no plates? [Switch to "two ducks" mode, continue game]. I'd get them to fire off Teeny-Bopper CD's ::gunshot:: ::sound of Brittney Spears CD shattering:: Score one more for people with actual taste!

Regyt:

  1. Max from Sam and Max. Just because you could use him as a weapon. /me uses Max on so-and-so.
  2. Fuck-Me Red. Favorite iMac flavor of whores, politicians, and college students everywhere.
  3. Small children. Furry animals. Gift baskets (like in that episode of the Critic). Ming vases, preferably.
Drea:
  1. Crash Bandicoot. I can do the Crash dance, but look nowhere near as cool.
  2. They've given up on flavours, you know. Now they're Sage, and Denim, and Indigo. However, I would never buy Root Beer. Fizzy poop brown isn't exactly my color.
  3. Small children? Can anyone really hurl them that well?
Spike Gronim:
  1. If operating system mascots are valid, Chuck the BSD daemon.
    Straight videogames, Mog from the FF series.
  2. Linoleum.
  3. Old AOL and MS cds.
Mikhail Koulikov:
  1. Tails (Sonic II, etc.)
  2. NYC hot dog (think all browned and reddish and greasy/oily, possibly with fur and a tail sticking out of it ^^)
  3. *TOO* tempting. All the little post-gothy kids Stuy seems to be overrun with now! Or maybe penguins, just to annoy Andrew. Or Jigglypuff.
Connor MacLeod:
  1. Pikachoo!
  2. Porn Star Pink
  3. People, old socks, anything not nailed down.
Chris Kalos:
  1. Gee, I wonder... PIKA!!! With pets like this, who needs batteries?
  2. Well, I know one I *would* buy... Mistletoe. How's that for poisonous Mac goodness? Not that I'd buy an iMac, actually.
  3. DivX discs. If there *are* any to shoot at. Failing that, Zip disks. It'd be an improvement, really!
Kat:
  1. Lolo, from a virtually ancient Nintendo game that no one else ever played. Maybe not strictly fuzzy, but on the original incarnation of Nintendo, you really couldn't tell...
  2. I'm not terribly up on my iMac, so maybe this is one of the new ones, but... Bruise: A nice semi-iridescent bluish-purple, which changes color with the passage of time. I would buy it for the flavor, if it weren't for my loathing of Macs.
  3. Easy: AOL CD-ROMs.
Justy Ueki Tylor:
  1. A toss-up with "Clearly Canadian Ale" or "Mountain Dew" (I'd suggest Jolt, but people would get that...)
Joseph Weiss:
  1. Kirby's fuzzy, isn't he? And is he meant to be a ghost? I just like the theory of the afterlife that he entails. My great grandparents, for instance, are all big fuzzy things that suck a lot.
  2. Crack flavored iMac. Bring all 'yo crack bitches into the information age.
  3. That dog from duck hunt.
Randall L Joiner:
  1. Lemmings. It was so theraputic to image them as my users following each other off a cliff, blowing themselves up, or dissolving in a fiery ruin.
  2. Charm, beauty, weird... All the fun flavors of quarks.
  3. Peasants? "The peasants love me! PULL! *bang* *aaaahhhh* ...It's good to be the king."
Daniel Rosengart:
  1. I'm not sure if any of you have played the late '80s, perhaps early '90s arcade Nemo ( based on the children's story), but Nemo's fuzzy friend Flip wins in my book. The game is emulated on Callus and possibly Mame.
  2. Chunky Monkey.
  3. Chunky Monkey iMacs. Also Jake Lloyd.
Justy Ueki Tylor:
  1. >>arcade Nemo ( based on the children's story), but Nemo's fuzzy friend Flip wins in my book.<<
    This wouldn't have relation to the NES Nemo, would it? (too lazy to look up Arcade Nemo)
    [and no one answered Flammie or Moogles yet for this question]
  2. I know someone said this, or it wouldn't be in my head:
    "Mmm... Liquid Crack... filled with Maggoty goodness."
  3. OK, by this point, I remember I filled out a survey and will shut up now.
Josh Loh:
  1. Q*bert was the man. Even though I can't reliably say he was fuzzy for sure, he looked it, and he dodged those snakes like he knew what was up.
  2. Bambi iMac, for those who like their computers to rot their teeth with cute. On the other hand, though, I would buy that if they made it with real fawn skin... wouldn't that be ironic?
  3. Zucchini. I've done it. We ran out of skeet in upstate new york, and my friend had all this zucchini that nobody was eating (you know how big and tasteless those fuckers grow) so we sliced it into disks, flung it out there with the sling, and shot at it. I recommend the experience highly.
Jake:
  1. Mog. It's trite, I know, but damn it, he's just so cool. The FF6 (FF3e) version. I especially liked the old style ads, remember when it was just coming out stateside? No? Bah. You really had to be there. Mog rules.
  2. Ass. Pardon the vulgarity, but it is a flavor, isn't it? It must be. Everyone says my cooking tastes like it. So an ass-flavored iMac. Who wouldn't jump at the opportunity?
  3. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say scientists. Specifically, Walter from Half Life. This may seem odd at first, but if that's the case then you've never really known the sensation of gibbing a skinny, flailing Princeton graduate as he sails in a gentle arc through the air overhead. Rapture.
Andrew Lozupone:
  1. I'm tempted to say General Custer, but he's not really fuzzy... neither is Lolo.... and I don't think Kirby is.... dammit, there aren't any good fuzzy characters in videogames..... oh, i know. Myau from PS1. He's kinda furry instead but that should count.
  2. That I would never buy? Well, any of them... of course I might buy one if it was really flavored... if I ever feel the need for any food, I could just lick it and be all better.
  3. hmm.... iMacs!
