Well, DBO sure blew up for a bit there, didn't it? (Destiny)

I know, this might seem a bit laughable coming from me, but why not?

First, how about your likes?

Intelligently designed products.

Cars. Exotics, muscle cars, under-powered sports cars (think Miata). Even family cars, if they display some ingenuity or do something in an intelligent way. Pretty much anything that isn't a boring 4-door box. For instance, for all my interest in fast cars, I actually drive a Subaru Outback, which is not fast at all, but is so good at every other aspect of daily life that I'm always impressed by it.

I love performance driving, but don't actually get a lot of real-life chances to do so. The first video game I owned (everything prior was borrowed or a hand-me-down) was Gran Turismo. I learned every word in that manual, which actually dedicated many pages to teaching proper cornering technique - it was wonderful, and clearly done by people who loved what they were doing. I haven't stopped with the driving obsession yet. Ask bluerunner or SonofMacPhisto. Nowadays, because I'm primarily XBox, and because Polyphony Digital seems to have phoned in the last Gran Turismo iteration, I spend a lot of time in Forza.

So, how about dislikes?

Drama, manufactured music, and ideologues. And un-intelligently designed products.

What's your favorite video gaming console or handheld device of all time?

As a piece of technology I love the PS3, especially the early iterations that had hardware-based backwards compatibility and ran Linux.

As an actual gaming experience, the 360.

Cake or pie?

I'm not going to say I hate cake, but I find that cake can often be so sub-par as to be disappointing, whereas most of the pie I've had has been consistently good.

Whose posts do you always find yourself clicking on?

Anyone I've met IRL, which is quite a few of you at this point. And for reasons I've never figured out, Cody.
