You're in the Guard and have to ask your new gaming guild for active duty Soldiers to get advice from?! ... 15 years active duty here, so you got lucky. Ask whatever you want and I'll give you the senior NCO perspective. Random question time! What's your favorite /r/army/ thread? Why did you ignore Grieve's questions? Why am I at my son's college at 7 AM on a Saturday?

Hi potential new friend! Sorry I took so long to respond to your app, I've been busy with work. Ayyyyyy a Michigander! Born and raised in Wisconsin here, but spent a lot of time in da UP, yaderehey. Random question time! What's your favorite Michigan sports team? What is Cayde-6's favorite dance? Favorite movie trilogy?

Hi potential new friend! Sorry it took me 2 days to respond, work has been pretty busy. CStrike was my jam back in high school, I used to spend whole paychecks at the local LAN arcade playing with my friends. My son is starting his associates in game design this month, he's spent the last 3 or 4 years just playing around on Scratch or GameMaker. It does seem like a really great hobby that's hard to turn into a reliable living, so I'm trying to push him towards the AI/programming side instead of pure game design. Random questions! Name your top 3 games that were sequels. (Mine are Half-Life 2, Mass Effect 2, and Hearts of Iron 2.) I just stalked Morganton on the map and it looks like the sort of small southern town that cable news reporters come to and ask questions about 'politics in the Bible Belt'. Ever had that happen? What are Titans hiding in their shoulderpads?

Hello potential new friend! Sorry I'm a little late on answering your thread. I played The Division quite a bit at launch, then had a brief re-entanglement with it earlier this year. I'll likely log on to run some of the shields before The Division 2. Ghost Recon Wildlands was a bit of an impulse buy after the trial weekend, but I got outrageously addicted to Kerbal Space Program soon after and haven't played in months. I'll likely go back at some point to finish clearing all the provinces. I answered your message in Discord about this. :) For random questions, I'm going to be lazy and copy the question from Life's thread. 1. Have you ever tried to explain Fermi's Paradox to anyone and had their eyes glaze over? Why do you think we haven't been contacted by aliens yet?

Hello potential new friend! I played Overwatch for all of 2 hours for one of our SoH game nights... it was fun but I was terrible. Grieve did ask most of my questions, so I'm just going to go with one complex question. 1. Have you ever tried to explain Fermi's Paradox to anyone and had their eyes glaze over? Why do you think we haven't been contacted by aliens yet?

Hello potential new friend! I'll second what Rundown said, 640 hours doesn't seem like 'a bit'. But I also would NOT want to know how many hours I've put into EVE Online... Random question time! 1. What are Titans hiding in their shoulder pads? 2. What made you decide to play D2 on PC? 3. Favorite alcoholic & non-alcoholic drink?

I actually bought Blackwake recently. How is it? Do I need a group to play?

Hi potential new friend! Grieve seems to have asked enough questions, so I'll leave it at that.

Hello potential new friend! I also once had a newlywed wife who supported my gaming habit... don't overdo the gaming, or you'll suddenly have a wife who does not support your gaming habit. Soccer fan, eh? I've been watching way too much World Cup... what's your favorite club? What position do you usually play? What's your favorite ship in the history of sci-fi? What's your favorite Pokemon meme?

Hello potential new friend! I was on vacation for the last 9 days so I'm getting to your thread a little late. One of the best games I've ever played. Also, you might be finishing the vanilla story, but there's a whole other world of DLC content - Blood & Wine is absolutely 100% worth buying. Don't leave us hanging, what city?

I brought it up because I was stationed there and knew that they hire a lot of native English speakers to teach English there.

Hello potential new friend! I remember having a Spongebob poster up in my barracks room like 13 years ago... it's nice to see he's still a (meme) force to be reckoned with, hahaha. Random question time! What class do you play in D2, and why is it better than all the other ones? Have you ever gone Super Saiyan at a very inappropriate time, or do you irrationally hate DBZ like I do? Would you rather fight zombies or robots?

Hello potential new friend! I played EVE Online with a bunch of Russians - some of the best allies, though I was glad I didn't speak Russian when the FCs started swearing at the fleet... Random question time! I don't think I've ever seen a restaurant featuring Russian cuisine... what would be their best dish? English teacher is a huge career in South Korea as well, but they tend to recruit from outside Korea for it. Are there many non-Russian English teachers? What's the origin of "Qi'o"?

Whoops! How'd I miss this thread! Hi potential friend! I've been stationed in Denver (Aurora) and Maryland (Fort Meade), both nice places. I'd like to retire in the Denver area in a few years, assuming the infrastructure and housing ever catches up with the population boom. Random question time! What is Cayde-6's favorite dance? My son is really into game music composition using FL Studios - what app do you use? Name your least favorite movie in the Star Wars universe, and explain why.

My wife and I are in our 30s and have teenagers born in the early 00's, and we talk about this all the time. When I was growing up, technology kind of sucked, but it was also a lot simpler. When it broke you could sometimes putz with it, figure out what's wrong, and fix it. Fast forward 20 years, my kids have had these magical boxes their whole life, and they always just worked. Whenever they don't work, they have no idea how to respond. So I usually end up fixing it...

Hello potential new friend! King of the Hill reference? Story time! *cue dreamy music* No shit, there I was. Just finished up my 12-hour shift inside a mountain during another military exercise in South Korea. I was sitting on the bus ready for my 45-minute ride home to start, thinking about drifting off to sleep, when an officer sat down a few rows in front of me and started talking. It might have been the 6 straight 14-hour days talking, but I swear he was either the guy who voiced Hank Hill, or he grew up in the same town. It was uncanny. I spent most of the ride listening to him talk. Random question time! I'll take Grieve's question (that you already answered) and twist it - what do you dip your french fries in? Do you keep any toys or trinkets on your desk? My favorite is a USB hub modeled after a Rifter from EVE Online. You get one conversation with one of the following - Alan Turing, Albert Einstein, or Nikola Tesla. Which do you choose and why?

Hello potential new Destiny friend! TIL what shoegaze is. How did you originally get into it? If you could design one set of absurdly oversized Titan shoulderpads, what would their defining feature be? What's the origin of your gamer handle? Something to do with the drums?

Hey Exile! I'm pretty sure you know, but this is TBert. Glad we're bringing you in officially. 😀 My only question is, how much ISK have you borrowed from Hans over the entirety of your EVE life?

Hello potential new friend! Looking forward to rocking Leviathan with you. Random questions! Who is your favorite character in Destiny 2 and why? I don't watch anime, but I do enjoy making fun of my son (who does) by enthusiastically performing the Super Saiyan Scream at inappropriate times. Is that wrong? If I had to hazard a guess, 901 is your zip code and Krool is a character from an anime?

Hello potential new friend! You have been appropriately interrogated, so I'll just save my questions for the next unsuspecting victim. See you in D2!

Man, that sounds awesome. I'm ~4 years away from retiring from the Army as well, and I'm constantly plotting how to convince my family to tolerate some rural (and lower-cost) living, to stretch my retirement check a little further...

Hello potential new friend! What sort of poems do you write? I mostly stick to composing awful mathematics-themed rap lyrics to make my kids cringe. They're not a big fan of 2chainz-plus-3chainz-equals-5chainz. You said you've played a lot of MMOs but haven't stuck around in many of them - we have lots of discussions on the MMO meta and how it's evolved over the years. Why do you think they've had trouble 'clicking' with you? You have a chance to go back in time and re-write Neil Armstrong's speech as he steps onto the moon. Do you change it?

Hello potential new friend! Far Cry 5 just came out and is set in Montana - Have you played it? Are there really have constant, random, and violent encounters between bears/bulls/cultists/panthers/preppers/wolves? Vanilla WoW was the last time I really played the game as well - do you remember trying to loot and getting stuck in the kneel? I scooted all over the place in that kneel... How do you make your living?

No, I was way too deep down the EVE Online rabbit hole to even give it a chance...

It's a pretty brutal sandbox survival sim with a bit of shooting, set in the Canadian wilderness. They recently came out with the first story episode that got solid reviews, and features my favorite voice actor ever Jennifer Hale.
