At the time when it came out, I still had an old 486, so I couldn't play X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter, but I did play the first Tie Fighter game a heck of a lot and it was great!

I'm just going to take slight issue with this. In Ireland and the UK at least, our broadcasters offer both catch-up services (programmes are available from the last week or so that you can watch; not all, but some), on-demand services where you can download the entire series, and some have a "restart" feature, where if you missed the start of a show you can hit a button and it will go back to the beginning for you. I don't know if you have these over that side of the world, but here it's pretty sweet. Download the whole boxset, watch it in order one episode after another/one season after another. Oh, and it's free: well, included in your main TV subscription.

How much do you pay for that service, in addition to what you pay to subscribe to programming in the first place?

1. What was your very first car or motorbike?

2002 Nissan Sentra. Had some serious internal issues with it that were undisclosed so I only had it for a year. The thing was pretty small and mousey so I was able to zip around in it pretty well. Best part was one day I hit a pretty large pothole and all of a sudden my feet were glowing purple. Previous owner installed purple neon lights and they must have had circuit issues that were temp fixed by the pothole.

2. What's your all-time favourite video or computer game?

Console? Fallout series. Computer? Rollercoaster Tycoon 2. Arcade? Ms. Pacman

3. Name one country you really hate (and if you like, say why)

I think there are beautiful places in every country but as far as the ones I've been too, if I'm being honest, England was a bit underwhelming. Manchester was great but I had a pretty bad time in London. Sorry goofs and other brits...

4. What was/is your worst subject at school/college?

Math. Easy. I'm awful. AWFUL.

5. Do you think DST is a good thing, or a bad thing?

Outdated and stupid.

6. What's your main medium for watching TV programmes/films etc?

Streaming from my phone to TV with services but I don't watch as much TV as I used to.

Nothing. It's included in the subscription. I think mine is fifty or sixty quid a month, which covers two set-top boxes in my house.

Quid is slang for a pound, which is inaccurate as we're using Euros while they're still using pounds/quids, but I got used to using that phrase as a catchall for money and now I'm stuck with it. 50/60 Euro then. Pedant.
