    Chamboosy, this has been a mystery that has plagued me since I first encountered your signature. If I may, what is that on your signature?

    She's a yellow power ranger

    Anybody who sits on top of the largest hydrogen-oxygen fueled system in the world; knowing they're going to light the bottom- and doesn't get a little worried- does not fully understand the situation.

    It is the best film of 2012. A film which everybody should see whether they like horror films of not. The Cabin in the Woods. It's probably my favourite part of the film, it's got the most tension in it and it's just before all the madness starts.

    She is. She's also notable for such roles as Alison Dine in Underbelly, Jodie in Sea Patrol and as herself in Big Night In.

    No, not really. I had a friend once - just the once - who was in a band who did a lot of scat and jazz music. Anyhow, besides his greatest hit (Don't Shave Drunk) he had a song which was just him making up random words. The only recording I have of that song has him going 'cham bam wham bam boosy' in it, so instead of having all of that, I just went, well, Chamboosy sounds alright.

    I'm going to assume that it involves not going to the wrong castle eight $@#%ing times.

    Also, based on your love for Rayman, what would you like to see from the character next? More tight, quirky 2D platforming? A return to his 3D platforming roots? Or something completely new and different, like a Rayman Origins RTS?

    You want the romantic version or the unromantic version? Romantic version, I met her at the cinema and our first film was Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. The unromantic version, I actually met her on a forum many many years ago - The Movie Show forum (long before it was on ABC) and we met from there. Part of me thinks that we would have met anyhow since when we did meet we discovered that we'd been to a heck of a lot of concerts 'together'. 

    Rayman needs to continue on with the path it's going with Rayman Origins. I didn't like Rayman 3D, but the 2D platforming was brilliant in Origins (and the original Rayman as well). If there was a change that they would do, I'd like to see it Littlebigplanet-ised. Meaning that I'd love it to have a similar texture (or even a Rayman Yarn Story if you will) and have a 2.5D version of the game. Rayman's all about being quick and the rhythm of the levels, so to have it be anything else would lose that (which is part of why the 3D version didn't work for me). 

    Heck, just release a new game with just chest chases. I'd buy three of them.

    You could have given me any silly answer and I would have accepted it.

    Realistically the reason I asked was to find out if you had to do anything extraordinary to appease the traditional Italians. Being Italian myself, I would have completely understood, thing is I am not traditional at all but I do find it all rather amusing how the oldies react.

    It was my wife's Nonna I had to win over. I worked damn damn damn hard for that too. Unfortunately my wife's Dad passed away a few years before we met so I never got to meet him or have to try and win him over. 

    When I was in Munich in 2006, the Pope was in town as well. So I bought a lot of memorbilia that day for her - a plate, a mug, a tea towel, a post card, the works. After that I was in the good books. Heck, when I proposed we told her and my wife's mum first - her Nonna's first words, 'It's a miracle!'

    It's hard to pick one particular colour, but I'll rate a top 5 since that's just how I roll.

    1. Blue - but more a blue like in this image... Anne-Hathaway-03.jpg

    2. Green - like this green... 187844d1242816484-anne-hathaway-54th-ann

    3. Black - like this black... anne_hathaway-the_dark_knight_rises-10.j

    4. Purple - like this purple... Anne+Hathaway+Dark+Knight+Rises+after+pa - the dude in the back corner.

    5. Orange - anne_hathaway_catwoman.jpg

    Yes Zorine, you should definitely watch Cabin in the Woods. It's cheap here!

    I'm going to go a cpl of hypothetical questions, do we allow hypotheticals?

    1. If you could live in any suburb of our fair city what would you pick and why? (I wanted to ask a question the Eastern states riff-raff wouldn't get )

    2. If you could live in any city in the world other than Perth, which would you pick and why? (I'm guessing Austin )

    If you two were to dedicate 90 minutes of the next House of Horrors stream to watching the 2012 Film of the Year, I wouldn't have any complaints.

    • Where did you get it?
    • When did you get it?
    • Who did you eat it with?

    If I could, I'd live in Fremantle, like right in Fremantle. But, given I'm already pushing it living in Samson I doubt I'd have a chance living there. Secondary suburb - Mount Lawley.

    You guessed right. Austin it would definitely be. It's just like Perth, but, y'know, not full of people who can't drive properly. And it has the best food as well. Secondary city, Singapore.
