Reminds me of Mother Brain. The super crazy dinosaur version. Anyway I should be ok, I'm like, the main character. I can't lose.

Favourite board game?

[Lindstrom]

I'd have to go with this WWI board game I had to play in History class my sophomore year called Diplomacy. The thing I liked most about it was that there weren't any dice or anything, it was purely based on tactics and trust you build (and destroy) with other players in order to take over Europe. All the actions are simultaneous from everyone writing down what they wanted to do that turn, so sometimes your plans would backfire or need support of other players. The best way to win is to get someone to assist you in taking another player out, and then when their defense is down you take them over as well. We played it for like 3 weeks in school and I always won, mostly due to being able to convince the same kid every single day that I wasn't going to backstab him this time.

It's a really awesome game, and with how it works it would be entirely possible to play it on these forums.

Were there any giant fighting robots in Mother 3?

[Lindstrom]

Of course. It's not a Mother game if there aren't any giant robots. They don't have the Power Rangers type with the people driving giant human shaped robots or anything, but there are indeed giant robots of doom.

Why don't we organize a game in the roleplay section? This sounds very awesome.

[Lindstrom]

I'll try setting one up, hopefully it'll get some people to go for it. The only issue is you need at least 7 people to play (each taking a major European power in the early 1900's: France, UK, Italy, Germany, Austria, Russia, and Turkey). If we have less, I can probably tweak it somehow or make some neutral countries, if we have more I can make teams.

[Toaster Boy]

Cool. But it can completely differ from the actual events right?

[Lindstrom]

Oh yeah, it wouldn't be very fun if it didn't. The only important factor is that you have these fairly equal powers trying to take over Europe. Usually certain starting events from the actual war tend to occur when playing though simply because they are the usually the wisest moves.

[Toaster Boy]

I'm pretty sure this could replace Werewolf.

Hows it goin'?

[Lindstrom]

Pretty good, my Wind Energy instructor got me in on a developing project for the school I've been taking classes at, so during the summer I'll take a week or two to put up a turbine. Still been mostly busy, still got a number of things left to do before I got some quality free time.

[Toaster Boy]

Do you know who Kobe Bryant is?

[Lindstrom]

Yeah, who doesn't?

[Toaster Boy]

In this country? I don't know. My grandmother's cousin has autographed jordan's from him.

What sport do you watch the most?

[Lindstrom]

Probably either baseball or hockey. I think hockey is the most fun to watch because it can go back and forth really quick, and it's the only sport where the players are allowed to stop everything and just fight eachother.

[Headtrip]

Have you ever had a day where you felt you got rewarded for doing something bad?

[Lindstrom]

I suppose I could chalk that under the time I accidentally stole pizza from an autistic kid.

[Headtrip]

I have autism. Although no one ever stole my pizza. :/
Do you own any collectable figurines or anything of that sort?

[Lindstrom]

Not sure if I'd call them collectible, but I have a Link action figure and a stuffed Yoshi from forever ago.
