4: Worst game you’ve ever played?

I don’t think I’ve ever played a game that I thought was outrageously bad. I usually look at reviews and scores before buying a game. Even the contentious Final Fantasy XIII wasn’t too bad, in my opinion.

I do regret purchasing Scribblenauts though. What a waste of money that was.

8: Best soundtrack?

Hands down, World of Warcraft’s vanilla OST, followed by Skyrim’s soundtrack and Fez’s soundtrack.

20: What was the first video game you ever played?

Trying to dig deep into my memory. I know I had an SNES. I think it might’ve been Super Mario World.

21: How old were you when you first played a video game?

I think I was around four or five!

27: Has there ever been a moment that has made you cry?

OY, IT'S AN OI. <3 Apologies for being a dummy that posts HEY Y'ALL LET'S TALK RIGHT NOW and then disappears, buh. 

OI, you lovely, lovely thing. <3

 ALLIUM: What’s the best thing you can cook?

It’s a tie between two recipes, both unfortunately time consuming (or maybe that’s just a testament to my skill level) One is the a mushroom risotto from Deborah Madison’s Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, which involves porcini out the butthole (an organic butthole, natürlich) and a mushroom stock which you also have to make, but if you want to make something that will make you believe that yes, food can be a complex aesthetic experience and yes, I can freaking do it, buy that damn book and make that damn risotto The other is a bourbon pound cake recipe from Southern Cakes, a memoir/cookbook my mom bought me from Cracker Barrel.

OXLIP: Would you ever get into a long distance relationship?

You know, as a teenager, I would have said yes and to hell with the distance love conquers all Romeo and Juliet, etc. When I was a little older, I would have said the distance thing defeated the point, love stuff being strongly tied to body stuff. But now I have a good friend who smiles unconsciously but brightly, every time his long distance girlfriend texts him - and I think I would be willing to put up with a lot of distance to get a megawatt grin every time my partner texted me.

DAFFODIL: What’s the most thoughtful present you’ve ever received?

I invited a bunch of estranged relatives to my highschool graduation party, and one of them surprised me with an incredibly thoughtful box of gifts with little notecards explaining their importance for college - a messenger bag, for example, because inefficiency is cool in college, and a tiara, because sometimes you just need to not give a damn about cool.

MAGNOLIA: Favorite kind of candy?

lAUGHS no i'm not offended you're actually not the first person to tell me this

My mom said that it scared the shit out of her. Not in so many words, but you know. What’d you think?

I'm really weird because I'm fascinated by the concept of horror and I like the feeling of being scared, but I don't typically watch horror films or play horror games, etc. A lot of my friends saw it (some who are just like me) and kept raving about it. Furthermore, I was intrigued by the attention it got and I do make it a point to see horror films that are critically acclaimed.

Overall, it's very well-done. The cinematography, the atmosphere, the music. It's quite typical of its genre (supernatural horror) and you can expect the normal things--creepy children, dolls, stuff under the bed, cellars, angry old women who were also suicidal witches, and exorcisms--however, I felt like it took these conventions and implemented them perfectly.

Of course, I watched half the film through my hands, so I can't say much beyond the fact that I was sufficiently frightened and unnerved. The audience I saw it with really helped, too: they took the edge off the tension and it made the experience a better one, overall.
