So yeah, go ahead and ask me stuff

Since today marks my fourth anniversary on this site, I have decided to make a thread where people can ask me questions.

Outside of pornography, what have you directed, Mr. Director?

Uh... how did you know that I have directed pornography? :P

@Samimista said:

Ah! Happy 4th Anniversary my dear friend!

When did you get into Yu-Gi-Oh?

Did you grew up on Transformers?

Thanks

I first got into Yu-Gi-Oh! during the early 2000s and I was a big fan of the show and card game for years. I had actually lost interest in it when I got into high school but near the end of high school I actually regained my interest in it through the Japanese versions of the shows, which I found to be much better than the English versions and I've been a fan ever since.

Yeah. I grew up watching Beast Wars and Beast Machines but I actually didn't become a huge Transformers fan until, ironically, the Unicron Trilogy. I say it's ironic because I consider the Unicron Trilogy to be my least favorite Transformers shows and yet it was after watching them that I became a much bigger fan of the franchise.

Why do you like Superman and Darkseid?

To me, Superman is the ideal hero. Not necessarily because of his powers but because of his actions. A lot of people seem to think that he's too perfect and hard to relate to, but I think that he's not supposed to be someone you can relate to - I think he's supposed to be someone you wish you could be like. I think that, deep down, lots of people wish they could handle situations with his kind of attitude and tact.

I actually first learned of Darkseid from the 1990s Superman cartoon but his depiction in it made him one of my favorite villains, mainly because of how he was able to snatch some kind of victory even in situations where he seemed to be at a loss. I also like him in the comics as well because he's a powerful and cunning villain. He's very clever when it comes to manipulating others and he's willing to do anything to get what he wants.

Origin of username?

I made this username many years ago and I think I got the first half from the ending conversation Ocelot was having with the CIA director, and then I wanted some number ending with 86 at the end. Not really sure why - I just like putting 86 as a number at the end of some usernames I make, like on seibertron.com my username is DoctorZero986.

@MrDirector786: Happy anniversary first of all.

What are opinions on the G1 cartoon series?

Favorite hero?

Favorite villain?

Favorite movie?

Favorite video game?

Like The New 52?

Like Ultimate Marvel?

Do you read any current ongoing titles?

If so, which ones?

@LordMaverick said:

How many appliances in your house are actually Decpticons?

Hmm.... I have no idea actually.

@InnerVenom123 said:

Exactly how many grams of Methamphetamine did you make?

None.

Thanks. I like the G1 cartoon. It's not my favorite Transformers show, but it is one of my favorites. I respect the show a lot for being the roots of the franchise, I love the imagination and ideas present in the show, I liked a lot of the characters, and the action was entertaining, however, my main problems with it are that the story itself can be inconsistent at times as well as repetitive, and I felt that the third season only had a handful of good episodes.

@YoungJustice said:

Do you make the baddest b*tches send you nudes?

Maybe. :P

@redbird3rdboywonder said:

How do you feel about he Transformer's Prime series

It's my second favorite Transformers show next to Beast Wars, but it's a very close second and I do think that Prime may eventually overtake Beast Wars as my favorite.

Superman

Darkseid

The Dark Knight Rises

Not really sure

Yeah

I've only read a few issues from Ultimate Marvel but I did like what I read.

Right now, I actually only have a pretty small list that consists of Transformers: Robots in Disguise, Transformers: More than Meets the Eye, Justice League, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Sonic Universe, but I plan on adding more titles from the New 52 and possibly Marvel Now!

@MrDirector786: Want some recommendations for the New 52?

@MrDirector786: Same here.

Fave voice actors?

@TheCannon said:

Sure. Right now, the only titles I'm considering are Batgirl and maybe Birds of Prey, Action Comics, and Wonder Woman.

@mrdecepticonleader said:

Fave voice actors?

Some of my favorite voice actors include Frank Welker, Peter Cullen, Steve Blum, Kevin Michael Richardson, Jennifer Hale, David Kaye, David Hayter, and there are others who I can't think of at the moment. If I were to choose one favorite, it would be Frank Welker not just because he's the voice of Megatron and other favorite Transformers, but because he has a lot of diversity in the voices he can do. It always amazes me when I see how he's able to make really good animal sounds and when I find out that certain characters who sound nothing alike were actually voiced by him.

This I did not know. You're referring to Metal Gear Solid 3's ending after the credits right?

Yeah.

@MrDirector786: Definitely get Wonder Woman. It's different from what we usually see with her, but you should enjoy it.

I read the first 8 issues of Action Comics and they were awesome. Can't give any recommendations past those eight though.

Aquaman is an awesome series, arguably the best among all 52. I'd definitely get it if I was you.

Same with Green Lantern.

Superman is a very good read. The current art isn't that good, but you can get past that.

Batman is an awesome series. Not as good as anything else I've recommend, but still cool. Death of the family is going on right now, so you might want to catch up.

Detective Comics is entertaining, though I recommend just skipping to issue 13. It's MUCH better there and on.

As for anything else, I can only recommend not getting Red Lanterns. I'm waiting to get varios of the trade paperbacks for Christmas, then I can recommend more stuff.

@MrDirector786: I know he does have such a diverse voice.If anyone hasn't seen a cartoon with him in it,then they haven't seen any cartoons.

Is Megatron your favourite character? And which are your favourite incarnations of him?

Not sure if I'd say he's my favorite character, but he's one of my favorites. My favorite versions of him are (in no particular order) the IDW comics incarnation, G1 incarnation, Animated incarnation, Prime incarnation, and Beast Wars incarnation.

I like those versions too.I would say Prime and Beast Wars are my fave animated versions.

Favourite Beast Wars characters?

@Jonny_Anonymous said:

Do you read comics from Valiant? If not why not?

Nope. I've just never really had any interest in reading anything from them.

@mrdecepticonleader said:

Favourite Beast Wars characters?

I would say Megatron, Inferno, Waspinator, Optimus Primal, and Dinobot. I will also say that there's no character from Beast Wars that I hate at all - I just like some more than others, but I still like every character in some way. The characterization in Beast Wars is one of the reasons why it's one of my favorite TF shows.

I know what you mean.

Which Transformers series would you say has the strongest cast of characters?

@Jonny_Anonymous said:

But there so gooood

I never said that they're bad. I just never had any motivation to read anything from them.

@mrdecepticonleader said:

I think I would go with Beast Wars.

@Edamame said:

1. Favorite video games?

2. Favorite cuisine?

3. What are your hobbies, if I may ask?

1. Sonic and Metal Gear are among my favorites. I also like a lot of Mega Man and some Mario games, as well as a few others.

2. Don't really have one

3. Video games, comics, anime/manga, hanging with my friends, and surfing the web a lot

@CaioTrubat said:

Dude, do you prefer dragons with two legs or four legs?

I always thought they looked better when on four legs.

Do you like horror films?

@mrdecepticonleader said:

I'm not really into horror films.

What is your worst nightmare?

@Deadite said:

What is your worst nightmare?

It would probably be living in a world of constant fear where free speech is prohibited, obtaining the basic requirements for survival is very hard, and the government silences anyone who speaks against it. I remember a few months ago at the time of the Aurora shooting I had a nightmare where something like this happened and I was glad to wake up and realize that it was just a dream and I hope I never live to see the day where something like that happens.

In the past, have you experienced an event that broke your will? What was the event?

I never want that either. And I don't understand why some people will want everything to fall apart. I want to be a writer and I'll never want my mind to always be occupied with compromises meddling my thoughts. I don't write anti-government ideas, but I'm sure in a world that many ideas are forbidden, there're stories I would like to write may be considered too violent, or too naive or whatever.

The only event I can think of that did such a thing was when I once got into a car accident. It was a shocking experience for me and I thought I'd never want to drive again out of fear that I'd get into another accident.

I don't really get why people want that either. I think some of those people really don't understand the value of peace. Granted, I've never been in a war-torn area or anything like that but I imagine people who do live in places like that appreciate peace probably more than anyone else.
