Question: What are your Favorite Television/streaming show and character from that show?

Answer: I think my favorite show is “My Little Pony” (2010). I don’t really watch tv shows because I can’t get myself to focus on anything recently

Q. What show are you currently watching that you would recommend to others?

A. I recommend My Little Pony because the characters are digestible.

Q. Could you live without television/streaming for a week?

A. I could likely live without streaming any shows. I spend a lot of my free time sleeping, drawing, and writing out my thoughts.

Q. What is your favorite movie of all time?

A. I don’t think I have a favorite movie, but the first one that comes to mind is “Flushed Away” (2006). My big sister and I used to always get excited when we found our little pirated DVD and got to plug in the VCR.

Q. What is the worst movie you’ve ever seen?

A. Avatar 2 by far. It’s not the worst in terms of writing, but it’s the worst in terms of audacity. How dare you think that movie needed a sequel and on top of that, how did you think alien racism is a good topic? like why is that blue water girl light-skinned?

Q. What’s your favorite karaoke song?

A. My favorite karaoke song is probably “Forest” by System of a Down. I love the chorus so much.

Q. Who is your favorite singer, and what is your favorite song?

A. I have too many favorites but if I had to pick one, Matthew Sanders from Avenged Sevenfold. He has a very beautiful voice and it’s expressed so well in their song “Blinded in Chains.” It’s the perfect amount of classic A7X while still having that vocal bite to it.

Q. What’s the best thing you’ve read in the last five years?

A. Best thing I’ve read in the last five years are text messages my friends send me when they’re feeling spontaneously appreciative. I feel very warm inside when people tell me that I mean something to them.

Q. What is your current favorite video game and why?

A. My current favorite video game is probably still “Minecraft” (2011). I grew up on pocket edition and it was so beautiful watching the game evolve into what it is today. Imagine telling little ten-year-old me that pocket edition would one day have redstone, and everything else java has. A very beautiful progression indeed.

Q. What video game would you recommend to a new player?

A. I think I would recommend “Plants vs Zombies” (2009). Not only is the soundtrack one of the best most memorable collections of media known to man, but it’s also a tower defense game. I think tower defense games are perfect for somebody who wants to pick up gaming for the first time. I must add, I only like the pc version of PvZ. I dislike mobile and have never tried a console.
