Hello. Um, what's it like in Germany? I am a boring east coast american and never been out of state much, and never been out of country.
Sadly I can't say that I've yet seen much of Germany, having only been in Berlin, but I do plan to travel around at some point. But so far, Germany has been... Strange? Not amazing, but not bad either. Germans/Berliners can be a little bit... Disagreeable. But most people I talk to are friendly enough. Germany is very different in terms of food. There are a lot of things, such as savoury pies, they they just don't understand and don't sell. So far there has also been very little fish besides Tuna that I've seen. Meat variety is different too; more beef and pork, less chicken and next to 0 lamb as far as I've seen. The music taste here is mostly like... 80s/90s for America and England. But that's a plus for me. Of course they also listen to some modern stuff, but not as much as you'd think.

Eh. I don't follow the LCS as much as I should, but I'd say SKT or TSM. I mean, I love FNC too, and they've done really well in the Spring Split, so who knows? I'll probably be supporting FNC, for that European solidarity.

2) Superpower or Close Combat?
I much prefer Close Combat, since it's a harder hitting move that can surprise an opponent, however, Superpower has its benefits too. I just prefer Close Combat as a move *shrugs*

3) Saw the changes to Randuins Omen and Black Cleaver for the next patch?
I did. Tbh, Black Cleaver needed some direction, and I often neglected it, not knowing when I could best use it. Now it's much clearer when I'll be building it, I'll probably be picking it up more often. Randuin's is interesting, and I think for top laners such as Shyvana its new active effect will be interesting to use in team fights.

4) Yuri or Yaoi?
Well, I never expected this question O_O Erm... Gonna say Yuri, simply because I don't get any enjoyment from seeing/watching Yaoi. I don't really watch either though.
What is your favorite Skyrim race in terms of lore?
In terms of lore? That's a good question. I guess for lore my favourite race would be the Bosmer. They have the most uplifting lore, and are hence the race I find most appealing.

What's your favorite German dish that you've tried so far?
Erm... Currywurst is very enjoyable. Here, cuisine isn't really 'German' what with most of the food being of Indian, Greek or some other style. But Currywurst is very nice, once in a while.

What song is currently stuck in your head?
It's actually a nightcore song; Welcome to the Club. Pretty good beat, though if you don't like dance music so much then it's not for you. Until recently I've had Fake It by Seether in my head. That's also a very good song, but is heavy rock. My tastes are very varied XD
Expect more. I love shocking everyone with surprises >:)
On topic:
- Do you think Diana and Cresselia would make the best LoL+Pokemon Tag team ever?
- Jungle Diana or Lane Diana?
- If Faker asked you for advice on how to play competitive Pokemon, would you be willing to give him a crash course on how to play?
- Runes and Masteries for Jungle Diana? Lel since I need to play her again and i forgot what worked best for her.
- Have you played fighting games before?

Quote:

Well, they are definitely similar in Theme, and both have similar styles of dealing damage (Diana AP, Cresselia Sp.Atk.) so perhaps. Though if the enemy builds armour/has high Sp.Def. then they might not do so well haha.
Quote:
- Jungle Diana or Lane Diana?
Jungle. Every time. I hate her in lane, it's so hard to do anything until you're 6. That and I find laning with Diana extremely prohibiting. She has a lot more potential in the Jungle imo.
Quote:

Only if he was willing to give me a crash course on how to be a god in League haha
Quote:

For the jungle: Attack Speed marks, Armour Seals, 6x CDR Glyphs, 3x Flat AP Glyphs, Movespeed Quints OR 2x Flat AP Quints, 1x Attack Speed Quint. I also take a 21/0/9 page most of the time. Clear time bruh, it's the best.
Items; Start with Machete of course, upgrade to Trailblazer until 6, then exchange for Stalker's and enchant with Devourer. Build Nashor's Tooth first, then Luden's Echo or Rod of Ages. If you're ahead, Rod, if not so much Luden's. After build Rabbadon's and finish with the item you didn't build second, if ahead. If not, or you need extra defences or whatever, exchange this item for anything you need.
For in-lane (Top > Mid imo, but be prepared to go more tanky): Magic Pen marks, Armour seals, 6x CDR Glyphs, 3x Scaling MR Glyphs, 3x Flat AP Quints OR something more tanky, but not needed. Take a 21/9/0 page mostly. You can add more to the defence tree if you want though, if you're against someone that out-damages you.
Items; Start with Rod of Ages, and assess where you are. Whole team ahead? Build Rylai's, and full tank. AP teammates ahead? Build Nashor's Tooth Rylai's and tank after. AD Teammates ahead? Build Luden's Echo, Rabbadon's and tank after. Nobody ahead? Build what you like, you're probably gonna lose lmao. Diana doesn't do solo-carrying very well.

- Have you played fighting games before?
Depends what you mean by fighting games. I've played some Super Smash Bros. Started with melee, played a ton of Brawl but have yet to get Smash 4. I've played a little Tatsunoko vs Capcom but didn't get into that. That's about it.
What was your experience like going through school?
Mixed. There were good times, bad times, great times and awful times. The awful was early on, the great was later on. I was bullied extensively from years 7-10 (this is English school system, I don't really know how it translates to a US style school system), but from years 11 and onwards I've been pretty ok. I've found my rut, sat there and not received muk from anyone. Year 8/9 was the worst, whilst year 12 was the best, by far. I enjoyed most science and maths classes, whilst hating the social based classes such as citizenship and history. Whilst I enjoy learning about history, my history classes were terrible. I was your average geeky kid I suppose. I played card games, and knew a lot. My best friend was the reason high school didn't kill me. He's the best friend I could ever ask for, and is always there should I need him, and vice versa.
Quote:
Did you enjoy school? Were there certain grades you like better than others?
Of course, I kinda answered this in the above.
Quote:
What kind of classes did you take?
When given the chance to choose my classes, I chose mostly sciences and languages, with Geography and Graphics thrown in there too, though I wish I'd taken art. Graphics was all about product design, and I failed that class. If you've seen my graphics, I could have used that in the art class.
Quote:
Have you ever tried to learn a musical instrument?
Yes! I spent five years learning the Violin, only to stop when work prevented me from enjoying it. But I intend to get back into learning the violin at some point.
How fast is the Internet in Germany? Have you met the Prince of Germany yet? What's the most German thing you've done? Is it true that German people (particularly in Frankfurt) eat a lot of sausage? Have you met the Crown Prince of Germany?
How do you like ninjas (like, do you like ninjas as Japanese spies, ninjas in video games, ninjas in tv)? Do you play Assassin's Creed?
Oh and your avatar/sig is epic. Just want to point that out.
What's your stance on the oil industry? In my town, Siemenns manufactured all of our Light Rail cars, so they're at the front of our conversation for a greener Denver.
What's the neatest thing you've ever designed, that you can tell us about?
What's my favorite color?

Guten Abend, こんにちは!
i would ask you questions in Japanese but since before you said you practically lost everything by now, i guess maybe that's not such a good idea.
1. What is your favourite Pokémon generation? 2. What is your favourite snack? 3. What is, in your opinion, the best German beer? 4. If you were a Gym Leader, which type would you specialize in?
Hiya :3 Sorry for the late reply to all, I kinda forgot about this. Setting a subscription now x)

That's like, five questions there, you could have spaced them out :P
Well, my internet is... (quickly checks speed test) Ping: 18ms, Download Speed: 23.21 Mbps, Upload Speed: 4.79Mbps
All in all it's not brilliant, but it's around 4/5 times better than I had in England. I long for the day I get Google Fibre Optic though... I'm sad it only exists in America ;_;
Have I bollocks! I've not met the royalty of my own country, let alone this one I'm only in for three years. No, I doubt I'll ever get to meet him, or any royalty here. The most German thing I've done? Gosh, I've no bloody clue. Probably... Drink on the streets. That's about as German as I'll get I think. I'm an English fanboy at heart. I haven't been across Germany (yet) so I can't say for anywhere other than Berlin, but the people here do eat a hell of a lot of Currywurst, which is a Berlin speciality. It's wurst, in a curry sauce with fries. Really good, but to eat it every day, my stomach would explode and I don't even know about my ass. And last question I've already answered. Royalty just can't handle my ninjaness.

I like all ninjas. I like the play-style in video games. I like the concept in films and I like the fact they are a dying breed. Well, I don't like it, but it's cool, y'know, that there are only two or three official ninjas still alive. And yes, I have played Assassin's creed. I'm not playing it at the moment, because I'm playing FFX more, and have projects to do, but I do enjoy the game.

Thanks! It's homemade, brewed here in Popitzweg especially for myself haha.

The oil industry? Well, in my opinion it's too political, and doesn't base itself around the consumer's needs, rather than making people fight over it/giving countries power. It is without a doubt the most commonplace corrupt industry in the world, and I severely dislike it.

The neatest thing I've ever designed? If that includes building then my computer, but I'm going to take it as simply designing, in which case I designed once a big water tank that would fill up with the flick of a switch until a peak point, and then would stop. Then, press another and it would empty again. Had this program had more options to me (since it was rather basic) I would have tried to make the tank empty somewhere else, but the basic idea could be used to create backup hydraulic power generators and such like. I thought it was a cool thing to do while bored in class :3

Orange. Because everybody's favourite colour should be Orange ;)

Sadly yeah, though I think reading wouldn't be too bad, just speaking or writing would suck.

1. What is your favourite Pokémon generation?
Three, without a doubt. It's what I started on, and feature two of the best Pokémon games (imo); Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD. Plus I just love everything about Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, and still have my young boyhood crush on May lmao
Quote:
2. What is your favourite snack?
Erm... Cake or fruit. I only really eat those as snacks. Otherwise I just eat three square meals a day :)
Quote:
3. What is, in your opinion, the best German beer?
Oooooooh, now that's a toughy. There are a LOT of different beers here. The best cheap, bottled beer I'd say is Berliner Pilsner. It's brewed here in Berlin, and is just straight beer. No additives or crap that make it taste bad and give you a hangover. And it's local.
But the best beer from keg is definitely the Havel Special brew light beer from a place called The Brauhouse (The Brewery). That beer is just divine, and that's coming from someone who never liked beer before.
Quote:
4. If you were a Gym Leader, which type would you specialize in?
Dragon Types. I have my team planned out, why they would be so, and the strategy to properly test trainers. I would also be the 8th gym leader. I would go into detail here, however it is extremely late, and I have to sleep. Remind me though, and I'll write it out ^-^
Lots of questions nice, thanks guys :D
Keep 'em coming!

thanks for answering all that! i'll be sure to give those beers a try next time i visit Berlin too (: i'd love to read more about your Gym Leader team and everything though! i've also given that kind of thing way too much thought hahaha.
to not make this visit completely obsolete, i'll add some extra questions. sorry, most of these are kinda generic :x
1. What is your favourite Disney movie? 2. Which is the best Hoenn starter? 3. Who is your greatest role model? 4. Don't you ever eat cookies?!

That is what I originally planned my team to be. I could describe more than I did there, but it's already pretty in-depth I think. I still stand by that.

1. What is your favourite Disney movie?
Disney or Disney Pixar...? ;) Disney alone... I'm not sure. Maybe Bolt? I really like that film. Pixar Film would have to be Toy Story. I mean come on. It's Toy Story!

2. Which is the best Hoenn starter?
MUDKIP:
Quote:
3. Who is your greatest role model?
That's a funny question actually, because I don't really have one. I base my actions more on my situation and the people around, than any one person or ideal. Though my morals don't change. I live for myself, as long as that doesn't upset another person's life, to which point they take precedence. I gain joy from helping others and making them feel good mostly.
Quote:
4. Don't you ever eat cookies?!
Not really. I actually should, but I can't make them, and no where sells good ones near me.
Well you know, it's mostly my good looks, my charm, and my overall just pleasing attitude that everyone just cannot get enough of.

Are you going to dedicate your floating castle to me?
No. You get a shrine. Not the whole castle :P

How is Germany?
Too hot, and weird as anything. Even the weather doesn't know what to do. Sunny, then storm for like two minutes but it was strong as hell, now it's cloudy and calm.
Quote:
This sentence is false.
If that sentence IS false, that would make it true. But if the sentence is true then it's not false, but the sentence clearly states that is IS false, and therefore you just created a paradox. Congratulations!
Are you really a ninja? o;
Did you edit/make your current avatar/signature theme? If so which art programs do you use? ;3
Yee, of course I'm a ninja *stealths away*
Yeah, I designed my current theme. I use photoshop cs2 ('cause I cannae ahoy across into Pirate's cove). I also have a graphic tablet which helps immeasurably.
