What was your favorite part during your tenure as staff?

Who is the worse mugenite and why is it jmorphman?

[Warden-San]

Would Alone in the Dark 2008 be better if it had the original Carnby design while keeping his reboot counterpart's dialog?

[GOH]

Can you recall one experience during your time in Mugen Infantry?

In fact, how did you discover Mugen Infantry?

- Not a lot but I do remember being banned or muted by MOTVN for something silly and then a few months later they made me mod lol.
- I liked the database they had back then and after I joined the forum I was added to the database staff along with you, Shunt, JayJay and a bunch of other people.

What was your favorite part during your tenure as staff?

Who is the worse mugenite and why is it jmorphman?

- I can't remember anything specific but I always liked to help people out even though I had no coding knowledge or anything of the sort, and also I liked learning about past Mugen drama and funny stories.
- The worst, literally worst of the worst, scum of the earth, bottom of the barrel mugenite is this guy. He just doesn't learn.

Would Alone in the Dark 2008 be better if it had the original Carnby design while keeping his reboot counterpart's dialog?

Absolutely not. Though I just found out now that Max Payne fights demons and shit in the game. It's like a videogame adaptation of the Max Payne movie.

[Titiln]

[GOH]

Oh right. UselessLurker your turn.

don't try to get clever with the thread title trinitronity

Why? If you guys can, then I surely can, too.

[Titiln]

you're bad at it

[Berry]

It's not really that bad.

[Titiln]

the thread title should've been Ask Do not even ask

[AlexSin]

- I read from one of Titiln's posts that you're Visual Kreations (I think it was one of his mugen reviews); and I once read GohanSSM2's rant from his site which linked to some saved pages about MRev; so are you the same guy? If so, do you remember those times? Can you tell us more about those?
- Why do they call you UselessLurker? Was it one of your nicknames from this/another forum?

[Jango]

- If you were a contestant on Flavor of Love, what would be your persona?
- What was your most embarassing moment in the MUGEN community?
- What's it like to be a gigantic tool?

[Person Man]

Do you feel that it kind of defeats the purpose to ask questions to someone who calls himself Do Not Even Ask?  If so, is it the questions or the name that becomes pointless in this scenario?

[Do not even ask]

I'm probably the blandest person to ask questions but ok.

-What the hell is going on on your sig?

A cat is being poked.

It's from a puzzle indie game called Cat Poke, where the objective of the game is to poke all of the cats in your home. I found the image hilarious so it's pretty much my permanent signature.

- Old handle dating back to the early days of Newgrounds. My technologically illiterate parents put the fear of god into me regarding internet safety, sort of along the lines of "if you put any information about yourself on the internet, someone is going to find you and then rape/kill you in either order." So when I signed up for an account on Newgrounds, in the field for my name I put "Do not even ask" and paused for a moment and thought "huh, that'd make for a good username."
- I forget how I exactly got the contributor's star, but I believe I got it from giving substantial critique/feedback to either BBH's Super Mario edit or Zero-Sennin's attempt at fixing Shinra's Marilyn Sue. I later on made a couple of stages, most of which are hosted on RandomSelect. Nowadays I've lost my motivation for making stages and I don't think I'll ever get it back.
- Would be the first one I played, Perfect Cherry Blossom. Can't be arsed to give an elaborate review.

- I read from one of Titiln's posts that you're Visual Kreations (I think it was one of his mugen reviews); and I once read GohanSSM2's rant from his site which linked to some saved pages about MRev; so are you the same guy? If so, do you remember those times? Can you tell us more about those?
- Why do they call you UselessLurker? Was it one of your nicknames from this/another forum?

- Nope, never even heard of the guy. I didn't actively participate in the Mugen community until 2007-ish.
- It's my IRC handle. Before I had any presence in the mugen community, I wanted to join the TM IRC to talk to Bob/Neon Tiger since I was a fan of his works (mugen and otherwise), but was paranoid that since I was a "nobody" they wouldn't want to talk to me or whatever. So I figured that if I lurked in the channel long enough to become familiar, it'd sort of be my foot in the door so to speak. Made my IRC nick "UselessLurker" to make sure there was no ambiguity over what I was doing or who I was. I sort of had it for so long on the channel that there's really no reason to ever change it and since the IRC channel is where I talk most of the time, most of the regulars there call me it.

- If you were a contestant on Flavor of Love, what would be your persona?
- What was your most embarassing moment in the MUGEN community?

- I barely pay attention to reality shows that aren't on the Food Network, so I had to google what the hell that was. Um... I guess I'd act like Arpa and always insist that Flav call me Arpa instead of whatever nickname he calls me. What acting like Arpa entails is up to you to interpret.
- I don't remember anything exceptionally embarrassing, except for not being able to finish my stage for the stage contest on the forum. Although looking at what I was making, I probably would've been more embarrassed by releasing it.
- Well you ruined the joke by posting the Gunshow comic so I can't respond with the last panel.

Do you feel that it kind of defeats the purpose to ask questions to someone who calls himself Do Not Even Ask?  If so, is it the questions or the name that becomes pointless in this scenario?

It depends on the inquisitor's perception of what the phrase "do not even ask" entails. What exactly can not be asked? Does the ambiguity of the phrase make the suppression of questions universal? But should assumptions be made of indefinite phrases? I'm getting off track... Who exactly shouldn't be asked questions? Is it he who owns the moniker that forbids query or another person? If it's another person, then who? Is it me (in this case "me" not being me but rather the one interrogating the meaning behind the phrase)? But why would it be me or another person? Does this man forbid introspection or the need for knowledge? Why does he wish to deny intelligent thought and the need for clarification? Does he wish ruin upon human civilization? Is he evil-incarnate? Should I rally people to slay this anti-christ? Why am I in a straitjacket and in a padded white room?

I hope that satisfies your question

[Jmorphman]

 - why are you so awful?
- do you enjoy being so evil?
- is it true the holy water burns your skin?

the thread title should've been Ask Do not even ask

seriously guys, you had one goddamn job

[Titiln]

- I read from one of Titiln's posts that you're Visual Kreations (I think it was one of his mugen reviews);

i dont remember this at all

[AlexSin]

Here's the post:

next is the anti-skullgirls lab from loco nachoz/do not even ask/visual kreations.
http://mugenguild.com/forum/topics/april-fools-epic-saga-extreme-fighter-stages-formerly-antiskullgirls-labs-149417.0.html
the joke here is that instead of the skullgirls stage you get some stages from a joke flash game. this is the first stage fakeout i've seen for april fools, but it's probably not the first ever. there's also a chance i reviewed a fake stage last year but if i did it was forgettable, so i forgot. the double fine fighting game linked in the thread was funny at least. i give this joke 5/10 mostly for effort

[Titiln]

oh that was a joke
