More Stuff, Eh? I Feel So Lucky!
Good for you. Happy I could help
Name: Stephen McGreal
AKA: ElectroDruid, Masked Flamingo, Lester The Jester and various other fairly bizarre guises.
Date I Arrived On This Planet: 12th February 1981. I've been here 24 years now, and still no sign of the spaceship to take me home.
Height: 5'9" (at least last time I checked)
Eyes: two
Come On, Be Serious: Oh, okay, they're hazel. They fade from brown to green depending on my mood.
Hair: Usually shaved, but I'm currently growing it as an experiment. If it works out I'll have hair like Dylan Moran (brown, messy, hobbit-like)
Favourite food: Lasagne
Favourite drink: Real Ale. I have several favourites, but Lia Fail is well worth checking out.
Favourite colour: Mauve.
Favourite Book: George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four (coincidentally also my LEAST favourite book)
Favourite Film: Pink Floyd -The Wall
Favourite Pastime: Sleep
Other Pastimes: Programming, drinking, chain smoking, more sleeping (when I don't have a deadline), talking gibberish, LARP, writing music & films & websites, and planning the downfall of civilisation.
Favourite Animal: Hmmm... It's a toss-up between frogs and badgers. Frogs, of course, are not mustelids, but they have opposable thumbs which makes them our evolutionary equal. Plus they're GREEN. And amphibious. And when they have sex they go for THREE DAYS STRAIGHT.
Current Favourite Phrase: "That's a completely different kettle of fish"
Current Favourite Sound effect: "fffffffRING!!!!!! Ecky ecky ecky!"
Favourite Joke: "What's brown and sticky? A stick!"
Most Embarrassing Moment: Falling out of a bus whilst very drunk
Favourite Sight: Green hills and woods
Favourite Sound: Rain on a tent
Favourite Smell: A slighty overheating Spectrum power pack
Favourite Taste: Tea. Not so much for the taste but for its miraculous ability to make any problem seem not so bad after all. It's an English thing...
Favourite Feel: The skin of a girl I love, asleep in bed. A close second for favourite smell as well.
Short-term Goal: To get to the pub
Middle-Term Goal: Showing the videogame industry how this stuff is SUPPOSED to work (the idiots). Possibly by setting up my own Indie company a few years down the line.
Long-Term Goal: Total world domination and/or destruction.
