Hello Zac :3 So both a Zach and a Zac on staff, eh? I gotta say, your username now looks pretty cool in bold blue.
Anyways, I want to know why you dislike babies and salads xD
I find babies to be terribly overrated. I just have a hard time understanding what's so cute and lovable about something that cries, vomits, and ♥♥♥♥s itself multiple times a day and is completely dependent on you for everything. Not to mention they're expensive as hell and the woman has to deal with pregnancy for 9 months (and its not like that's much fun for guys to be around either). They don't really look more aesthetically (yay spell check) pleasing than any other human either.
As for salads...I'm one of those people who doesn't like the taste of vegetables that much. Sure, I could use salad dressing, but salad dressing kinda defeats the purpose of eating a salad to me. And the few salad dressing I have tried didn't taste great either. I must've been a carnivore or something in a past life lol.

When people find out that you're from New Jersey, how often do they ask you if you've got a Jersey Shore thing going on/if everyone in New Jersey fist pumps?
Second question...does everyone in NJ actually fist pump? :3

I think that this is actually the first time that I've told people on the internet what state I live in (and I hardly interact with people outside of NJ irl) so I rarely get people asking me if we're like the Jersey Shore. But the majority of us aren't like the Jersey Shore, nor does the majority of New Jerseyans fist pump on a regular basis. You will find people like that, but they're the minority.

How are you enjoying your time as a moderator here?
I was nervous as hell at first, but I think I've finally gotten used to being a moderator, and its been real nice. I kinda wish I could contribute a little more to the more serious staff topics, but that will come in due time.

With your degrees, what kind of job do you see yourself being in (or would like to go into?)
People ask me this all the time....I don't really know what I wanna do with my degree. I'll kinda just take whatever I can get, really.

Why do you have a disapproval of "babes?"

Do you feel intimidated at all being the newest member of staff, as well as how do you think the other members of HQ perceive you?
I wouldn't say that I feel intimidated, but I feel like I have yet to be as good of a staff member as everyone else is.

When you want to become friends with someone, how do you prefer to approach them?
I kinda prefer that they approach me. Which doesn't make ♥♥♥♥ for sense, but its just that I've never really been one to take the initiative.....

If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you want to be and why?
I'd love to be home right now. Been out in field camp for 4 weeks now, kinda miss home a little bit. But we still have 2 more weeks to go >_<

Favorite thing about PokeCommunity?
I guess my favorite thing about PC is that its active and has a lot of members. I'm part of 2 other forums, but they're so inactive that its not that fun to go there, so I rarely post there these days. The sheer number of active members on PC means that there's almost always something to do, which is nice, since I hate being bored.

How well would you fare against gimmepie in StarCraft II (since he aint a supporter he can't see this, lalalalalala muahhahaha evil shizz)?
Not sure how well I'd do. Never really seen him play. Though as far as I can tell, we're roughly at the same skill level....though I'm out of practice.
imagine if he did become a supporter and saw this

So, couple things. First of all, I've been to New Jersey a couple'a times. I wanna know how you keep your sanity driving around there. :J My experience, was concrete dividers on medians separating opposing traffic flows, and making u-turns, left turns, or getting to anything that was on the opposite side of the street you were on a nightmare. And the Turnpike, ohhhhh my god, I made one wrong turn, and it took me a whole HOUR's drive out of my way. ;-; Maybe I just suck at driving. My experience was in Secaucus, NJ - btw, around the Meadowlands expo center. So you know what area I'm referring too, and possibly tell me "It just sucks around there".
Secondly, why Zekrom over Reshiram? Do you just like his visual design more? Or was Black Version just your choice and subsequently Zekrom? Or something elssssse?
Lastly; after reading above - you may dislike babies and salads, but I like them both. Maybe you'd like them both better.... together?
Okay bad joke, bad joke, I apologize. :P The other things though; I look forward to reading about if/when you reply hahah.

I actually try to drive as little as possible, because, like you said, driving in NJ is terrible. I especially don't like driving on major highways like Route 80 or the Turnpike. Makes me kinda nervous, and it doesn't help that I don't know where I'm going half the time.
But I could live with driving in like Wyoming or something. Hardly any cars on the roads there, and no Turnpike-esque ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Ah yes, I guess its about time I give a detailed explanation as to why I like Zekrom so much. For starters, dragons are my favorite mythical creature (and so also my favorite Pokemon type). I find them to be interesting; they appear in multiple cultures with varying (and usually cool looking) appearances and meanings. In some cultures they represent power and wisdom, while in others they represent evil. Visually speaking, I've always like the appearance of black dragons more than any other dragon color. And Zekrom is black, so...
More specifically about Zekrom itself, I love it partly because of its role in Black/White. Black and White had the best story of any Pokemon game, imo, and the fact that Zekrom is a major part of that story just makes me like it even more. What I also like about it is what it represents on a broad scale: the duality of all things. The whole Yin/Yang, truth vs ideals thing that Zekrom and Reshiram have going. It's a fascinating concept to me, that seemingly opposing things are actually part of a greater whole, and both need the other in order to exist. It even jives a bit with part of my world view that things are almost never Black and White (derp, see what I did there?), but are usually a mix of both things. That's often how things are in reality.
Seriously, how many Pokemon represent something so deep sounding?
Zekrom is also great for battle. So is Reshiram, but what Zekrom has over it is the fact that it is one of the very few physical Electric attackers in the game (Electric is my 4th favorite type, btw). The vast majority of Electric types are specially based, so its easy to counter them in general with special walls. Not the case with Zekrom though. And while it misses out on being neutral to Fairy like Reshiram, its one of the only Pokemon in Ubers to resist Flying, and can easily threaten titans like Lugia, Ho-oh, and Kyogre with the strongest Electric attack in the game, STAB Bolt Strike. Hell, Bolt Strike 2HKOs the majority of the Pokemon in the Uber tier. It does suck that both its STABs have Pokemon with immunities to it, and its movepool is a bit lacking, by hey, you can't get everything.
A couple of little other things I should mention. You get Zekrom in White and Black 2. And I chose those 2 versions because I love Zekrom. I also don't hate Reshiram; I like it quite a bit too (and Kyurem, I like it as well). Sometimes I get the feeling that people assume I dislike the rest of the Tao Trio because Zekrom's my favorite.

How active are you in the Pokémon scene? Do you get the games immediately, or you get around to it whenever?
The past few games I've gotten on release day (White, Black 2, Y), and I plan to get ORAS on release day as well. I'd say I'm pretty active in the Pokemon scene. Maybe a little too active....

We were all wrong about Shulk; MonadoMonday is lie! The tips have been scaled! The Gematsu Leak is dead! I was right about Chrom not being "the" main FEA character, and Zekrom got his wish on having Lucina playable. Adding to that, Captain Falcon is back, but we already knew he's coming back anyway.

HOLY. ♥♥♥♥. I was not expecting this at all. This just made my ♥♥♥♥ing day. Now I HAVE to get a WiiU.
I can't believe that we got not only Lucina, but both male AND female MU Robin. I wasn't expecting any more FE characters after they revealed Ike, and if they were gonna put one more in, I thought it'd be Chrom. Which, is he playable, or is he just part of Robin's Final Smash? And its about time that they revealed Captain Falcon.
bet you Spino isn't gonna be happy about this
Also, who're you guys gonna main in this one? I have so many on my list now: Lucina, Ike, female Robin, Luigi, Charizard, Greninja, maybe Peach and Lucario.

If I was gonna live in a region in the Pokemon world.....it'd probably be either Kalos or Unova.

You have the choice to be able to run super duper fast or fly super duper slow: which do you choose and why?
What would you say was a life-changing experience for you? Did it have a good end result or a bad one?
You obtain the ability to freeze time for an hour. There are no repercussions for your actions during this time frame, and no one will have any memory of anything that happens. What do you choose to do and why?
How would you describe your relationship with your parents?
What is one talent or skill that you'd love to have before you die?

Running really fast. Flying's cool and all, but if yer gonna go that slow, why even bother with it?

I wouldn't really say that I've ever had a truly significant life changing experience....

Hmmm, I'm not sure.
Quote:
How would you describe your relationship with your parents?
The way I describe it is that we're people who live in the same house and that's it. We aren't close like many parents and children are. I don't hate them, but sometimes I find them kind of annoying, and I'm not comfortable at all with coming to them about anything. My parents still seem to think that my sisters and I are little kids, and they pretty much do not trust us despite not really giving them any reason to not trust us. And my dad seems to think that just because he's 35 years older than me that he knows everything and can that he can never be wrong (and that I could be right), though he'd probably tell you otherwise. And he's awkward to be around sometimes. I think my mom seems to think that everyone is either stupid or borderline retarded because she used to work so much with mentally disabled and insane people. Mom, I know how to get gas, I'm not 5. Then there's the fact that she gets angry at the computer all the time despite the fact that a)the computer will not do anything differently because you're yelling at it, b) there's 4 other people in the house who can help you, and c) I've told her several times to calm down because of a.

I'd just love to have a talent or skill, seeing as how I don't have any.
