Which Colossal Death Robot Are You?

This [Link] is another one of those personality tests.

In bars frequented by colossal death robots, you’re always the quiet guy at the back who no-one ever bothers. And for good reason. You’ve fought in several nuclear wars, could beat the sun in a staring match, and have a chin larger than many articles of furniture. Morals are not a concept you understand, but strangely enough, nobody ever questions your judgement. Usually because they’re dead. Even Judge Dredd wets himself when you turn up. Grrrr.

Maybe I’m just in a bad mood.

Something in LinaliHigami‘s blog entry [Link] reminded me of a game an old roomate of mine and I would play whenever we drove anywhere.

Basically it was a running joke/conversation about how the passenger was just a figment of the driver’s imagination. And how anyone in the back seat was a figment of the figment of the driver’s imagination imagination… (confused yet? good that was the whole point.) It would switch off depending on who was driving.

We’d get into some really bizarre conversations that way. It didn’t help that most of these were at 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning on the way home from some place. I guess we used it mainly as a way to keep each other awake, so the driver wouldn’t fall asleep at the wheel and drive into a ditch, or off a bridge, or something.

Leave it to Penny Arcade to, well – just go read it, I found it funny.

For a long time I’ve considered myself a Mac User stuck in a PC User’s body. When I was younger, the first computer in my home was a Macintosh Perfoma. (Well, actually it was a Commodore 64, followed by a Solaris PC clone of some sort, but the first computer I used to actually DO things with, like write reports and go online and such was a Mac.) And my High School Graduation presont was a Mac Powerbook.

When I spent WAY too much money on a Graphic Artist program at some trade school, we were on Macs. When I got my first REAL job in the computer industry, I had to start using PCs. (Thank god my roommate at the time had a Windows box.) The fact that most of the programs I was using on a daily basis work pretty much the same on PC as Mac (PhotoShop, Illustrator, etc) made the switch relativly painless. Because of this, the first computer I bought after I moved out of my parent’s house was a PC.

I now use a PC predominatly, (both at work and at home,) but I do have an iMac at work for testing purposes.

I’d like to have a Mac at home – as a second computer, (and a linux box as a third,) but I do so many more things with my PC, (not the least of which is play games,) that I wouldn’t want to switch over to one permanently. I want to use both, (or rather all three PC/Mac/Linux) each for it’s particular strengths.

I don’t understand why so many people feel it HAS to be one or the other.
