Darth Maul's Double Lightsaber. I don't give a crap for the movie but that thing was cool.
What would be your first step in taking over the world?

(The double lightsaber was as lame as everything else about Maul, and shouldn't have been included in the KotOR games. In fact, I even kind of feel dual-wielding single bladed ones isn't legit, too.)

( Dude, the double lightsaber was redemeed by Bastilla and Maul was the coolest thing we had in Episode 1! Personally my favourite sword is Lightbringer from A Song of ice and Fire. Flaming swords are bitching! On the opposite we got Frostmourne from WoW which is super hype!)
A; Open a holiday resort and chip in control chips in the noggings of the customers so they become sleeper agents until it is my time to rise. They will act out my commands and destroy everything they hold dear. And then they will have my permission to die.
Q; Favourite character trope? ( The hero, the scoundrel, the brute, damsel, amazon lady, fallen hero...enctr)

Now there's a question. I love all of these. I'll say the fallen hero though. Whether he's fallen in the sense that he's failed or he's turned villain, I love this idea of a former hero needing to be redeemed.
Incidentally I'm on the fence regarding double lightsabers. I feel they are a bit silly, but still if you think of them as the Jedi equivalent of a staff, rather than a sword, they're cool? And they would have been much cooler id Darth Maul had been the only person every to have used one. Like it was something he improvised himself, to fight the two Jedi.
Q- Favourite stand-up comedian?

Probably Jeff Dunham, but I like a lot of comedy that's out there. (To answer Gorvar's question, Scoundrel all the way)
Favorite song to sing in the shower?

A: "Over The Moon" from RENT, or "The Count of Tuscany" from Dream Theater - either way... ;D
Q: Favorite antagonist from the Mass Effect Trilogy? Can be anyone who opposes Shepard, whether it's a main baddie or just an annoying person...

I'm going to say The Illusive Man. I never felt he had much of a place in the storyline, but to me his character IS Mass Effect 2, and I love the interactions you have with him and how he sets himself up. And the work by his voice actor is just amazing. And knowing so little about him makes him more intriguing. It's always a little treat when he appears to taunt you or whatever.
Finally getting to that office of his, only to find that he'd left and his damn cheap dragon was there instead, was really tense and frustrating.
Favourite party-member in the Mass Effect series?

Garrus, beating Ash by a hair. Of all the squadmates he has the longest character arc. He starts off as a somewhat unlikable wannabe renegade cop archetype and his character grows as he suffers loss as a result of his leadership. His credibility grew in his own society which he once shunned as much as it shunned him to the point where he does not want to think about his place in the hierarchy.
Plus I enjoy his sense of humor.

A; Eva Green from Casino Royal. hot and smart at the same time, she kind of reminded me of Miranda Lawson, except more bearible.
Q; Favourite hero in any story?

I don't know if it's just that Gorvar's cool new avatar reminded me, but Spider-Man. I've never picked up one of his comics, but I just loved the cartoons and then the Tobey McGuire movies - and every screen version really. The outfit - the special powers - the fact that his whole thing revolves around him struggling with responsibility and trying not to screw up, and that he often fails. I've always really loved Spidey. There are probably other movie heroes I adore (I love Luke Skywalker too - the guy who beat the most famous big bad ever by throwing his sword) but I'll go with the speeec-tacular Spider-Man.
The first comic or manga you ever read?

(Spectacular Spider-Man was the shit. You can watch all the episodes on a certain tube-related site, too.)

Well as I don't read a lot of comic books, I remember being very surprised at the depth and storyline of "Watchmen"
Favorite Dresden files moment besides the T Rex?

Evidently I'm not the only one who has never heard of Dresden Files.
Q - What on Earth is Dresden Files?

Dresden Files is a what you get if you take Sam Spade, add Harry Potter, age him up a little and season with a heavy dose of snark! A hilarious fiction series by Jim Butcher. Go look up book 1: Storm Front.
Why is it always my day off that people need me up early?
