1. I honestly hate it when people try to help me at anything without me asking for their help. It just irritates me, because I usually want to figure things out on my own.
2. I hate most internet phrases such as "butthurt", I think they're just immature and stupid.
3. My favorite TV sitcoms include "Home Improvement" and "How I Met Your Mother".
4. I usually don't like nor watch horror movies due to all of the cliches.
5. Forza Motorsport 2 is my favorite FM title or the series.

1. Around one month ago, I dislocated my kneecap during a game of table tennis. TABLE. TENNIS.

2. I am extremely meticulous and picky when it comes to certain things, and yet flat out don't care about others.

For instance:

My car - crumbs are a big no-no, the dual-zone climate control must be the same on both sides (and no half-degrees, ever).

Work and notes typed up on a PC must be formatted very carefully (for instance, highlighting words by changing their colour must not run into punctuation adjacent to the words, if that makes sense).

At the same time however, I do not carry over that attention to detail to things like my bedroom - why does an untidy car infuriate me but an untidy room not bother me?

3. I really, really like rain. The sound of it, the steel-grey colour of the sky during a massive downpour, the way the drops trickle down a window and merge and fall and bounce. Even, weirdly, the smell of say, the back garden after it rains - that peaty, earthy smell. There's something so atmospheric about it.

4. I don't really like big houses or those really fancy modern ones with granite surfaces. They always seem so impersonal and not like a home - they're too perfect and flawless and clinical, almost like a hotel. There's no sparkle (although there is in the granite, fnar fnar).

5. I still have a Toshiba CRT TV from around twenty years ago in my room. I find it's the best way to play with SDTV-era consoles, especially via RGB SCART.

How did you manage to do that? Did you dive for a shot that was going to the other side of the room/hall?

I hadn't actually even started playing at the time. I was actually just running about, and all of a sudden my knee had better ideas about where it wanted to be. I'm genuinely not sure what actually triggered. It was the day before my birthday as well. :(
 
-My family has 2 sets of twins, me and my brother, and my 2 younger sisters

-I hate 90% of the people in my school, even though I've never talked to most of them

-My eyesight is complete garbage (stupid genetics)

-I hate it when people say that a certain car company is complete garbage without any good reason(ex, saying Ford sucks just because you like Chevy) I did it when I was a kid and would argue with my brother about it until we were at a car show one day and my dad said "Shut up, show some respect to these people's cars". So this basically means I go nuts in auto class when a car comes in and people say "Ha, it is a Ford and it sucks, Chevy FTW"

-I actually just slightly prefer superchargers over turbochargers, even though my user name would make you think other wise

I think the actual magazine and website are both history...but numerous folks joined up because of that welcome press. What difference a decade makes: back then you'd read a magazine to hear about good website, now you'd probably scour the web to find if there's any good magazines left.

11. I've been to 40 US states.

12. Sat foot in over 800 counties.

13. Flown on over 450 flight segments.

14. Driven on every mile of interstate highway in Florida, in both directions.

15. My life insurance policy bars me from ever learning to fly actual aircraft. Phooey.

Batman has no super powers. He's just a regular hero. As much as I agree Batman is awesome, here really isn't much more than a vigilante.

You don't need to have superpowers to be a superhero and based on the multiple things Batman does; I see him as anything, but a regular hero.
