Somebody had to restart this thread. I hope it's okay if I do it.
You aren't mad at me, are you?

Hugó, a víziló. Clearly the hallucinogens must have been flowing freely during its storyboarding process.

What is your opinion on communism?
>>106 I don't know about which religion, but I've always like the idea in Andy Weir's "The Egg". How odd that I was just thinking about this earlier today. Well, maybe not because I think about it a lot. http://www.galactanet.com/oneoff/theegg_mod.html
>>108 How big's your USB pen drive?
>>111 I don't care much for what's in the pop charts, but thanks to the Internet there is a space for all sorts of interesting things that I couldn't have ever heard maybe 15 years ago. I love everything from country to noise, hip hop to britpop, j-pop to prog rock, and most things inbetween. I don't waste time on things I don't like, so I'm overall pretty happy.
>>113 When was the last time you paid for music?
>>113
The Keiko Matsui discography. She is a breathtaking pianist who combines hauntingly beautiful melodies with the far-off sounds of an African coastline in perpetual sunset. If you enjoy Hiromi Uehara, you'll love the slower, less jazzy atmospheres Keiko creates with the mysterious wanderings of her rhythmic fingers.
>>115
Who is your favorite pianist?
I must confess I don't know that many pianists despite being one myself. I do enjoy Vladimir Horowitz very much though, especially his recordings of Scriabin.
What instrument(s) do you play?
>>115 Guitar, bass, drums, mandolin, bouzouki, tin whistles, melodica, stylophone, keyboards, harmonica, chanter, accordion, melodeon, bodhran, ukulele, jew's harp, recorder, and i've got a bunch of percussive stuff like tambourines and maracas and stuff, and i'm getting into circuit bending as well. I feel like I'm missing something(s)
>>117 How big is your music folder?
Derp. Let's try that again. Also, >>117, that's a huge music folder? Really? I have three music folders on as many hard drives (though due to messy backup policies there is some significant file duplication and overlap I have not yet bothered to fix), and just one of them is seven times as big as that.
>>120
What politician do you most agree with, assuming they believe what they preach?
>>121
For some time I completely lost interest; the vanilla game just felt too aimless and easy, and multiplayer is buggy and it's hard to find good servers. But then I found Vech's super hostile maps and the like, and now minecraft is fun again. I must confess I enjoy watching Zisteau's Let's Plays of these even more than playing myself, just because he has the time and patience to really conquer the map and build amazing structures, and he edits his videos pretty well to keep it interesting.
>>123
What's your opinion of Let's Plays?
>>123
No, sorry. But at the same time I don't look to "regular forums" for that very reason. I am always using anonymous textboard channels and anonymous imageboard channels for this very reason.

I don't think you can really draw a line between "acceptable" and "unacceptable" just like that. With law, you have things like diminished responsibility or self defence - it isn't excusing the crime, it's just showing that it wasn't cold blooded murder.
Question evasion aside, I think just the obvious stuff; if everyone's obviously going to be a lot better off with someone dead, then I suppose it's "acceptable" to kill them/for them to commit suicide.
>>125
That isn't a question.
>>127
How many chemical elements can you name off the top of your head?
>>126
There's antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium
And hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium
And nickel, neodymium, neptunium, germanium
And iron, americium, ruthenium, uranium
Europium, zirconium, lutetium, vanadium
And lanthanum and osmium and astatine and radium
And gold and protactinium and indium and gallium
And iodine and thorium and thulium and thallium...
etc. I have the song memorized, so however many elements were known to songwriters in the 1950s.
>>128
What is your favorite parody song?
>>127
Right now, it's "Weird Al" Yankovic's Stop Forwarding That Crap To Me. The style of the song (overly dramatic slow ballad with a background choir) beautifully clashes with the banality of its subject matter, and once the novelty of the lyrics has worn off it is still pleasant to listen to as music in its own right. It then proceeds to get extra brownie points for mentioning both BCC and Snopes.com, and the clever use of kinetic typography that makes up its music video. While I personally am grateful to not know anyone who engages in endless forwarding of the sort of crap mentioned in the song, I have plenty of long-suffering friends who do.
>>129
What comedy musicians do you know that produce quality songs with Weird Al's level of consistency?
>>127
Do remixes count? If so, it's ttp://youtu.be/TkDrmBkVqAU I find this absolutely stunning.
Otherwise, it's Weird Al's White & Nerdy. Recently my boss decided to play music on his laptop to keep everyone up, but soon his playlist degraded into pop and rap. So, while he was away I planted this song in his Eminem playlist which soon entertained everybody.
>>129
What is your audio system?
>>128
Oh my, it's like we share a special bond!
I don't even know whom to name! Tenacious D are inactive, right? Avenue Q is a musical... There was a presumably German band a few years ago, but they would be far behind THE Al.
Anyway, >>131, what is your audio system? What comedy musicians do you know?
>>130
I use a pair of Rokit KRK 5s. I liked a bunch of comedy musicians when I was younger but now all I can remember are Monty Python, Rappy McRapperson and Patrick Shaughnessy - Funeral Songs of Happy Cloudland. The last two are so horribly bad they're funny.
>>132
What do you think about the title song "Cloudland" from that last album?
>>137
I think every moment is life-changing to some degree. It's impossible to say what moment has had the greatest net effect on my life's path, so I'll just pick the first one that comes to mind.
My life changed when I introduced to my first computer at the age of 4. It was love at first sight. I continued to be fascinated by those glowing screens throughout my childhood and adolescence. Computers no longer inspire such a sense of wonder and mystery, but now I'm addicted for life. Even without internet access, I can easily spend hours (unproductively) on the machine, neglecting food, sleep and human companionship.
>>139
Do you think robots can ever be a substitute for real human empathy?
>>139
Romantically, for the ability to store, copy and enhance our minds with technology.
Cynically, for major world powers to collapse due to economic and environmental issues. (If this happens it will be terrible to experience but interesting to watch.)
Realistically, for Charlie Nishinaka to release volume 12 of "Cheers!" That shit is fucking hot.

Who's your favorite H-mangaka? (If you don't like H-manga, don't answer, or post about 3d porn or whatever gets you off.)

My deepest regret is that I'm 22 and still not in college, despite having taught myself a good many things I could major in. Half the problem is that I don't want to spend time and money on courses I will learn on my own anyway, the other half is that I'm just lazy. Right now, I could be a mathematics, physics or engineering major easily, but all I do is work and play guitar in a post-rock band. Pathetic, no?
>>144
Where did you see your life going five years ago, and how is your current situation different?

I want you to write a short text about Japanese computer-assisted typography and post it here.

I'm rather enamoured at the moment with a beautiful woman five years older than me who lives in Japan. Though the language gap is being crossed rather slowly we have conversed about a number of things and I have come to respect her very much. Also she is unhappily married and sexually under-stimulated, which only furthers my drive to satisfy her as much as I can.
>>158
Could you ask yourself whatever you'd like and also answer it for us?
>>161
Yes. Sometimes it will be on spur-of-the-moment philosophical implications of something. Other times I pretend I am explaining a concept to someone. Often while browsing this board I'll take something I found really funny and narrate a story for it/propound humorously upon its ramifications. In terms of non-verbal utterances I often hum or make drum noises akin to those of Venetian Snares or Aphex Twin.
In contrast I am very quiet around others.
I don't get out much.
>>163
Are you a purist about anything?
>>174
Physically, I'm similar to a lot of people because I am white, tall, and I have dark hair. I'm different because I always have dark circles under my eyes and awful eyesight. I also have a relatively rare autoimmune disorder.
Socially, I'm different because I would prefer not to be social, at least, not offline.
Mentally, I'm different due to what I believe to be a combination of Asperger's and some form of Schizophrenia. I also believe that I'm more intelligent than most people.
Spiritually, I think that I'm different from most because I feel that I have reached some level of enlightenment. Most people that I know are agnostic, atheistic anti-Christians. I'm not an anti-Christian and I'm not an atheist.
I'm not sure how else I should define myself. It's a tricky topic. A close friend would be much better at it, I think. I don't view the world in terms of "me vs them" and I hardly leave my room.

Your favorite word meaning "penis"?
>>183 it had a falling out with chocolate. For centuries, they used to go together everywhere, until one day an English confectioner decided to see what would happen if he used vanilla on its lonesome. Chocolate's been out to get nilly ever since; I'd say it may be justified, but everyone from the original conflict is dead, so maybe it's time to look past it?

I'm tempted to pick somebody obscure for the hipster points, but I have to go with the somewhat predictable Yasunori Mitsuda (of the Chrono Trigger, Xenogears). Mainly because I'm forever in love with "Corridors of Time."
(Masafumi Takada is cool too. There, +5 hipster points.)

If you get an amusing verification word right after posting in the captcha thread, would you post there again?

A hat I wear a lot is a sort of thick black beanie with a narrow rim around the front that serves absolutely no purpose but looks rather cool.
It's easier to answer questions than fulfill demands. Also every answer is somewhat personal, which might make this more interesting for the chance to peer briefly into another dokyun's life. For example, I decided to answer your question solely because I really enjoy the type of music you listen to.
