<game> Have You Ever Version 1 <Approved by TML>

[Dark-San]

Nope, never. My weekly expenditure never exceeds my earnings. In fact, I saved the extras.

Have you ever played a game online and the internet connections cuts off before?

[mr_pikachu]

Many, many times. It's incredibly frustrating to have a forced mate in two and lose because your computer decides it doesn't want you to play chess.

Have you ever sworn at an inanimate object?

[Dark Sage]

More times than I can count. Most often at my computer when it gives me a hard time, or at the subway when it's late.

Have you ever spent more than half an hour looking for something only to find it in the most obvious place?

[Fett One]

Yeah. It has happened to me a few times

Have you ever laughed so much that your drink came out your nose

[mr_pikachu]

Yes, of course. Usually in situations where I really don't want to look stupid. Job interviews and the like.

Have you ever participated in a world record-breaking event?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

No, I'd like to break some world records though.

Have you ever eaten insects?

[Fett One]

No, I have a fear of bugs/insects/arachnids, which prevents me from touching them let alone eating them. My brother on the other hand has eaten bugs before

Have you ever fallen asleep while watching a movie in the theater

[Dark Sage]

Nope. It's a rare occasion that I ever go see a movie in a theater, so I only see ones that I know won't bore me.

Have you ever watched a marathon of television programs that lasted six hours or more?

[Knight of Time]

Hmm, I might have watched some TV show marathons before, but I don't think they were that long, maybe 3 or 4 hours.

Have you ever accidently touched a cactus plant?

[Master of Paradox]

Yes. At Walt Disney World, oddly enough.

Have you ever shut off a video game because you were on the verge of defeat?

[Fett One]

I've done it a few times so I could start over

Have you ever used cheat codes in a game

[mr_pikachu]

One time a friend tricked me into using the self-destruct code in Gradius. (He then proceeded to play as player two for the next 20 minutes without losing a life.) Does that count?

Have you ever done a victory dance after watching a sporting event on TV?

[Number1ChanseyFan]

Come on, I am a Cleveland fan... victory dance? And sadly, the Cleveland team that is probably the closest to winning something is the one that I don't like!! (Cavaliers) So yeah, I am saving my dance for the Indians World Series victory.

Have you ever made something up so you could get out of doing something that you didn't want to do?

[Fett One]

Back in college I would make up excuses to get out of talking to a classmate that I couldn't stand talking to.

Have you ever experianced deja vu

[Master of Paradox]

Yes, every day of my life. It comes with having a boring life. Things tend to repeat.

Have you ever spent an hour or better laughing at the same joke?

[Knight of Time]

Hmm, I know I've laughed "out of control" with some jokes, but I don't think there were any where I laughed for at least an hour.

Have you ever been held upside down by someone?

[Fett One]

Yes, when I was a little kid.

Have you ever written a fanfic

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Yeah once, I never finished it, though. I have written it on a small notebook and posted the beginning at TPM but cannot come up with a proper ending.

Have you ever used Babel Fish online translator?

[Master of Paradox]

Yes, but I've never trusted the results.

Have you ever broken expensive personal possessions in fits of anger?

[Dark-San]

No! A definite no. I am not the type that goes around breaking things when I am furious. The moment that I get angry, the usual things that I would do would be to swear at the person and greet him with my middle finger. Believe me seeing an agitated person is a good enough satisfaction.

Have you ever flame someone online before and get away without any punishment melt out?

[Fett One]

No. I have never flamed anyone before.

Have you ever lost something and then find it years later

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Yes, some of my drawings, for instance. However, I have so many things lost that it's only likely that finding them takes different time intervals. I even lost my Game Boy Advance once. Never forgive myself!

Have you ever planned moving to Japan?

[Master of Paradox]

Move, no. Visit, mayhaps.

Have you ever stopped playing a video game because you're too good at it?

[Fett One]

No but I have stopped playing games out of frustation for not being able to beat them

Have you ever been in a car accident?

[Knight of Time]

I've only been in minor car accidents, no injuries really, but unfortunately in one of them a cat was killed.

Have you ever been so dizzy you couldn't see straight?

[Master of Paradox]

Indeed. And then I fell down.

Have you ever left a room because someone was saying something irredeemably stupid?

[Fett One]

I don't recall ever doing that

Have you ever wished you were somebody else?

[Knight of Time]

No, not really.

Have you ever beaten a game one day only to find your saved data mysteriously erased the next day?

[PancaKe]

YEs! omg I hate that! It's usually after I've spent countless hours on it as well!

Have you ever woken up and thought it was a different day so didn't go into work/school/whatever?

[Fett One]

I have woken up thinking it was a different day but I never missed work or school because of it

Have you ever watched a Star Trek marathon

[Dark-San]

Nope and always never will.

1) A waste of time. I could have better invested my time in movies with different themes.
2) I am an action movie freak, not a science fiction fan to begin with.
3) If there is not a discounted price for this marathon, then I would not even considered wasting my money in it either.

Have you ever sat on a roller coaster ride and ended up peeing in your pants?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

At least I don't admit. I've been to some rollercoasters and love them, by the way. However, I humiliated myself once by asking if I was too big to go.

Have you ever used one hour replying at TPM but the complete post being very short?

[Fett One]

I've done that before but never on TPM

Have you ever been attacked by a wild animal

[Shadow Wolf]

Nope. Do not wish to either.

Have you ever fell from your bed while sleeping?

[Master of Paradox]

Not that I remember.

Have you ever bought things you hadn't planned on just to qualify for special deals (like "buy one get one free")?

[Fett One]

I've done that on Amazon so I can get the free shipping

Have you ever watched the entire star wars saga in a single day

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

No. I'd like to try it, however. I like the movies very much, but the problem is I haven't bought one single Star Wars DVD. I wonder if there are collector cases available here in Finland.

Have you ever heard about a Finnish book/Hollywood movie named Sinuhe The Egyptian?

[Knight of Time]

No I haven't, sorry.

Have you ever watched a television show that promotes sponsoring children in developing countries (such as World Vision)?

[Fett One]

I don't recall ever watching that kind of show

Have you ever gone to another country for a vacation

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Yes. When I lived in a substitute family, summer 1998 we were in Sweden and Norway, summer 1999 drove through the East Europe to Italy and back, summer 2000 through the Baltic and Poland to Germany and back across Denmark and Sweden.

Have you ever thought about the idea we could have a big TPM meeting somewhere?
