Questions Episode 2010

edited December 2009 in GeekNights
Because I'm feeling inspired, and because of our extended hiatus, I feel inclined to indulge another questions episode. It's been a while, they're fun for us, and they appear to be fun for all of you.

So, either email (geeknights@frontrowcrew.com), post, or whisper your questions for us. Submit your questions to Google Moderator: we will not look elsewhere for them. This is the official thread. Rather than a set theme or focus, ask us anything, either about us or about something else: advice, technical questions, anything. My one caution is to only ask interesting questions.

For the record, here are the previous questions shows:

So, in the Penn Radio style, ask Laymen Rym and Scott!

  • Given that Sanctuary exists, why do you think that it is possible for people to be uninterested in politics?
  • What if "what if" were "why not", and if not, why not?

    How about we use Google Moderator instead? This not only lets you submit questions, it also lets you guys vote on the priority order of the questions as opposed to leaving it to our arbitrary decisions.

  • How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of Scott?
  • Are you guys going to do a "Final thoughts episode for Giant Robo" or what other animes are you thinking on doing a final thoughts episode?
  • I just realized a fatal flaw in Google Moderator. I have multiple Google accounts, therefore I can vote multiple times. I guess it's fitting that my vote counts twice on my own Q&A, but still.
  • When will we get a book club about the Count of Monte Cristo?

    Every time I think I have a problem, I end up finding something cool that solves it.

    HungryJoexScott. ... Even I, the resident fujoshi, says no.

  • When will we get a book club about the Count of Monte Cristo?
    None of these kids will read it. It's long as balls.

    I read it for fun in middle school. It is also available on librivox for those that utilize audio books.
    It is such a well known, frequently reviewed book that a book club and GN podcast on it would be somewhat pointless.

    I read it after I watched Gankutsuou. Don't underestimate me.
  • If I remember correctly, they're trying to get people who don't read to read more. If you would read that book for fun, you're not in the book club's target audience.

    I think I have the opposite problem. I'm reading it now because of Rym's recommendation, but it's hard for me because it's long and I'm an adult. So, as a result I've been reading it off and on for six months now, and still have 1/4 of the book left to go. It's probably my fault for going the cheap route and reading it all online, when I really prefer reading an actual book.

    Hey, I take offense at that statement. I haven't even reached the voting age yet, and just barely the driving age! But in all seriousness, I agree. Other people of my age seem to have the attentions spa- BUTTERFLY!
  • Question for Rym:

    With atheism becoming less of a cultural stigma here in the United States, and more moderate religious groups gaining in popularity and against the more "fundamentalist" ones, How do you think this will effect the overall mindset of modern America in relation to educational practices and the schooling of young children, particularly in regards to the sciences?

    Question for Scott:

    Why do you kick puppies?

    Questions for both of you:

    You like anime and books. Do you read light novels? Particularly the one some anime are based of off. Like Slayers or Haruhi.

    Did you ever improve yourselves to become who you are today or is it just accumulation of all your life experiences?

    What was your favorite moment at a convention?

    Can you describe your style? Fashion that is.

    Oooh, I second that question.
  • When we do the episode, we'll only be looking at Google Moderator. You can post a question elsewhere, but perhaps someone would like to volunteer to copy/pasta questions into the Google Moderator for those who won't/can't do it themselves?
  • I will do that now!
  • We are returning soon, and this will be the first show we do. Please go to the Google Moderator to ask and vote on questions.

    Go here to ask and vote on questions.
  • My question of Rym is too long! I'm gonna use the option of record a youtube video.
  • HungryJoe's questions make me giggle. There are a lot of really good questions there.
  • @Scott: You should put that in the forum menu banner.
  • Great questions, the second one was especially insightful.

    See, I thought so too! I think I accomplished my goal of touching on the subjects that were at the pulse of the FRC forum community.
  • Tonight's the night.
  • Tonight! Tonight! It all begins tonight!

    The triumphant return!
  • Sound the drums!
