LOL … those are some really punny achievements. Definitely fits the spirit of these weekly geeky threads.

All hail @mage ! Our glorious leader …

*eh* yeah back to questions and once I’m done browsing I’m unboxing my stuff.
Tomorrow Killteam which is flockin’ hefty box.

Q and A time :

(1) What is your favourite type of biscuit and why
I do hope I picked the proper translation for biscuit 😉

I’d go for a local one : ‘Lange Vingers’ (literally : ‘long fingers’)
It’s dirt cheap so you can eat tons of them without spending a lot.

A quick google also revealed a recipe :

There’s also the ‘Speculaas’ which is kind of linked to our Saint Nicolas tradition.

hmmm …

(2) Favourite Ice Cream flavour (this can be regular old ice cream or a more exotic type thing like Haagen Daz or Ben and Jerrys) – yes, Im kind of hungry, ok?

I’d go for classic chocolate.

Although the Magnum Raspberry is hard to resist.

(3) The last video game you played? Why did you play it and how did you find it?
Currently : ‘On Rush’
It’s not a racing game, but a stampede.
You don’t win by finishing first, but by scoring points for your team.
It kind of feels like an endless wrecking fest.

This video sums it up :

(4) What have you felt nostalgic about in the last little while?
Nothing much. Watching Knightrider only reminded me how bad that series was.
Especially after seeing how enjoyable the classic Doctor Who series was by comparison.
I do have to say that I only remember seeing bits of the classic series, so it was still new to me.
The odd effects were bad but the story and characters more than compensated IMHO.

(5) Name a random awesome Christmas present you got once and tell us about it.

Christmas ? What’s that ? 😉
I must be getting old, because I don’t remember any present being that awesome.
Pessimists might say that I never got an awesome present, but I doub that.
