1. Name one or more board games that you like.

There's this German board game designer named Reiner Knizia that makes some really good games. Two of his games, Ivanhoe and Kingdoms, are my personal favorite boardgames (Ivanhoe is a cardgame, but whatever. I put them in the same mental box). Tigris & Euphrates is good too. I recently found an old, used copy of another game of his called Samurai. I'm hoping to play it a couple times this christmas.



The best boardgame that I've played by another designer would be Carcassonne.

2. What is the most frustrating video/computer-game you have ever played?

All Mortal Kombat games are annoying as hell and not even very good at all.
Any 8-bit platformer that isn't downright easy makes me throw fits.

3. Did you watch Beverly Hills 90210 way back in the day when it first ran?

The whole family watched it back in the 90's, so I did too. There wasn't always much to do, as in the early 90's, I didn't have any computer or any other fancy modern ways of keeping myself entertained. I did have an Atari 2600, but it was not the most interesting system (still have it!) and I had to use the family TV in the living room anyway.

4. Are you a Star Wars fan on any level?

I like the 3 original movies fairly much, but I haven't been fanboying out since I was 12. Star Wars is kind of souring on me these days. Over-exposure much?

5. Do you ever drink scotch, rum or cognac with nothing added, except for perhaps icecubes?

I don't really drink alcohol often, and I'd never drink high proof liquer to get drunk in any case. I do like a good rum. Cognac is fine too, but whisky isn't entirely my thing yet, although I'm learning. In case of all three, price really does matter. If it's cheap, it's ass.

6. Are you one of those weird people who willingly eat moldy cheeses?
I only eat mild brie of the wussiest variety. Otherwise, it just makes me gag. I can eat almost any other food you can think of, so I'm not really picky. I just hate mouldy cheeses.
