Re: ~ The Well: Shane "Bane" Neumann ~
« on: August 04, 2013, 08:05:00 am »
Ready?
Indeed...

... or so I thought. D:

1.Favourite movie?
The Pokémon movies I've seen already (Spell of the Unown, Celebi: Voice of the Forest, Pokémon Heroes, Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, The Rise of Darkrai, Giratina and the Sky Warrior, Arceus and the Jewel of Life), Rush Hour 1, 2 and 3, The Forbidden Kingdom, Who Am I? (a movie starring Jackie Chan), The Mummy trilogy, Kung Fu Hustle, Johnny English and Johnny English Reborn.

Those are the only movies I've ever seen in my entire life.

2.Favourite colour?
In this order: green, red, blue, yellow, orange, pink, black and white.

3.Do you want to take in anymore pets?
No. As I've said in the Off-Topic Thread:
Quote from: Shane
I'm not ever getting another pet. Otherwise I'd get too attached to them, and then something like that will happen again... and then... more depression that may even result in... more tragic things happening (like attempted suicide)...

... Either way, as of 3 March 2013... I'm a 100% lonely person. And so it shall remain for as long as I live.

4.On a scale of 1-10,how would you rate yourself on being...random?
... 100 :P

In all seriousness, though, 9.

5.Which episode of Naruto are you currently watching?
Father and Son, the Broken Crest was on Thursday.
Monday, The Secrets of the Mangekyō Sharingan will probably air, if the TV channel it is on doesn't do something stupid. Sometimes it switches two episodes.

That happened to Pokémon once, on another channel. It skipped Ash's first gym battle against Roark in Sinnoh, replacing it with an episode where Pokémon Hunter J is introduced. That episode was aired twice.

... I'd shout "OBJECTION!" but I didn't know what it meant then :P

6.How'd you meet Taylor?
25 February 2013
She somehow got my e-mail address and asked permission to join my forums.
She lurked at the Cave Story Tribute Site Forums, but she can't join those forums due to a glitch on her side. She has an account but accessing it leads to a 403 error, apparently.

7.How'd you learn about Cave Story?
The June 2007 edition of the PC Format magazine had it on a DVD, along with 199 other free games.

8.Did you get the best ending on the original CS on your first go?
No. I got it sometime in 2009. And it took me exactly 515 tries before I finally beat that giant imbecile known as Ballos.

9.The best 3 games you've ever played?
Cave Story, La-Mulana and Pokémon.

If the question was "the best 10 games", then the answer would be:
Cave Story; La-Mulana; Pokémon; Little Fighter 2; Kingdom Hearts; Ace Attorney; Draglade; Terraria; Toribash; Battle for Wesnoth.

If the question was "the best 25 games", the answer would be:
Cave Story; La-Mulana; Pokémon; Little Fighter 2; Kingdom Hearts; Ace Attorney; Draglade; Terraria; Toribash; Battle for Wesnoth; Grandia II; Elona; Plants vs Zombies; Quest for Glory; Dragon Age: Origins (yes, an M-rated game); Iji; Eternal Daughter; TrackMania Nations Forever; Rune Factory 3; Time Hollow; Warcraft III; Dragon Quest; Yu-Gi-Oh!; Phantasy Star Zero; Final Fantasy.

That's a lot, by the way. :o

10. Would you like to be helped by someone(mention-ably Taylor) to help you overcome your fears?
No. I'd like to get over my fears on my own. (Taylor disagrees, though. Seriously, just ask her about it.)

11. How did you learn about LF2?
The June 2007 edition of the PC Format magazine had it on a DVD, along with 199 other free games.

Yes, just like with Cave Story. :P
Guess luck was helpful?

12.You know DC-ing?
Heard of it, never tried it. Looks more difficult than ASM hacking.

13.Favourite anime?
Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Z Kai, Pokémon, Shinzo, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Naruto.

Those are the only anime I've ever watched, to be honest.

14.Favourite generation in Pokemon?
Currently? Generation V. It's the only one I've played thus far.

15.Favourite Pokemon?
Do you even need to ask? :))
Pikachu.

16. How'd you learn about LFE?
I believe Jed37 mentioned it somewhere at the Cave Story Tribute Site Forums.
That, or I got bored and decided to search for mods. Can't remember.

Either way, he was the only person I knew at the time I joined the Little Fighter Empire forums. With time, I met Bla bla bla 44 and nbaheen, and eventually the Battle was created as well.

I can't remember where exactly it began, though. :P

17. How'd you meet Jed37?
He's a member at the Cave Story Tribute Site Forums as well. :P

18.Favourite school subject?
Afrikaans, English and Mathematics. This was when I still went to school, though, as I dropped out of school since 5 March 2011.

19.Do you play any sports?
No. I absolutely HATE sports. >:(
ESPECIALLY since it was enforced at school.

Yet... I managed to get out of that somehow. Hmph. Still hate it, though. Sports are, in my opinion, one of many evil things that must not exist. But that's just me.

... A note: don't ever mention soccer, cricket or rugby. Otherwise my anger will be unleashed upon several beings and none shall escape it.

20.How did you come up with "Bane" in you username 'Shane "Bane" Neumann'?
Since 2010, I've had... anger problems, you could say.
It was extremely easy to get me very furious. And out of fury, I usually broke stationary. At one point, I even broke a pair of scissors, and a backpack. (Thankfully, everything I've destroyed was mine. And not other people's.)
I am the "Bane" of Stationary, I guess.
Also, "Bane" rhymes with "Shane". And "rain", probably. And "cane". And "sane". And "main" and... okay, I'll stop with the random rhyming :P

... At least, I *think* that's where the "Bane" comes from. NOT to be confused with some guy from Batman who goes by that name. People always think that the name's from Batman for some reason. I don't know. I don't watch it.

21.If you could,would you like to raise a pet dragon?
If it's green and can breathe ice, probably... but it'd be expensive anyway.

22.Favourite LF2 char?
Original LF2 character? Deep.
Otherwise, Vegito. :P

I'll have more ready.Be prepared,soldier.
Okay... Wait...

...

...

...

OBJECTION!
I'm a teenager! I'm no soldier!
I'm too much of a coward to be a soldier, anyway.

I'll be asking mostly questions that you've asked others :P

Sorry if I accidentally asked a question that was already asked. :-[
Worry not. I don't mind :P

1. What's your favourite songs?
... I have to make a list to answer that question, and even then, I don't even know.
Most of them are video game songs, however.

In fact... all of them are video game songs...

2. If you could choose which other members were to join these forums, who would they be?
Of all the forums I'm a member of, I assume?

Shane's Cave Story Forums: GalanDun, nbaheen, Rebelle
The Battle Forums: Soumya, Mvskoke
Cave Story Tribute Site Forums: Dunc2403, Tpcool, X-Calibar, MagicDoors

That is all.

III: Gardevoir
IV: Staraptor
V: Yamask
VI: Of the known Pokémon, Honedge.

4. Out of each type, what are you favourite Pokémon?
Here goes!

Fire: NONE (if I was forced to have one, it'd be Reshiram)

Ground: Sandslash
Rock: Carracosta (I think that's its name)
Dragon: Garchomp (even if it has a crippling weakness to Ice)

5. Out of all the video games you've ever played, who is your favourite character?
Apollo Justice, King, Red, Deep, Roxas, Rio (Draglade 2, since nobody'd guess that), Roan, Lemeza.

You'll just have to guess which games though :P

6. Who are your favourite Cave Story characters? (These can be from the original, or from mods.)
Not myself, oddly enough :P
Rather, it's... Tyranto. Even if her past is weird, but hey, she's Draconian.
Which Tyranto? Kim Tyranto.

7. What was the first video game you have ever played?
It'd have to be... Adventure Island IV. In Japanese. I played a game in Japanese and I didn't even understand a thing in it.

8. Who are your favourite anime characters?
It'd be Gohan (from Dragon Ball Z), Naruto (from... well, Naruto; he reminds me of myself sometimes), and... I think that's it. Not sure.

9. What is your favourite animal?
... Cat?

10. What is your favourite food?
Bacon pizza. The last time I had pizza was in 2012.

11. What Legendary Pokémon is your favourite?
Celebi, Meloetta and Shaymin.

12. What Legendary Pokémon do you dislike?
All Legendary Pokémon with the Poison, Fire or Bug types in. (Because those are my fears.)

13. Are you brave?
Taylor. I have more than 30 fears as I have mentioned above. If that doesn't answer your question, then NO. I am not brave.

Sure, the Shane Neumann that appears in The Battle are brave, but not me.

14. What was the first PC game you ever played?
... I think it was Minesweeper? I'm not sure, sorry.

15. What was the first DS game you ever played?
Pokémon White.

16. How many languages can you speak?
Afrikaans, English. Two fluent languages.
Counting the languages I'm not fluent in? More than that. :P

17. What are your favourite countries?
I live in it. Even if it's... not a good place to live in due to crime and such. Urk.

18. How long have you known Pokemon?
Since... 2000? Don't know, I remember having tazos then...

19. What is your favourite Pokémon badge?
That badge one obtains from Elesa.

20. What are your favourite books?
... I don't remember, sadly. :-\

21. What was the largest town/city you've ever visited?
Cape Town. I only went there twice: once to visit my grandfather when he had a heart attack in 2012, and once when I had to go to his funeral on 25 January 2013. (Almost wrote "25 February 2013". If the funeral was on 25 February, I'd wish I never had a birthday.)

22. What do you usually do if there's a power outage?
I usually get bored.
However, these days I can just write The Seretouan Alliance...

"OBJECTION! The witness clearly looks like a monkey!"
"HOLD IT! That's not true!"

... Uh, yeah. Law on Seretou is weird. Trust me.

23. If you could have special abilities and such, what would they be?
Taylor.
Just look at all the character sheets for "Shane Neumann" in The Battle. (Except for Variant L, because it's too incomplete due to not having started yet.)

You'll find your answer there.

24. If you could meet one of the forum members, who would it be?
It'd have to be... myself :P

In all seriousness, though... it'd have to be mr. de Goede. If anyone asks who he is, let him answer it. :P

25. Do you hate it when people tell lies?
Yep. You bet.
It's a berserk button.

Everyone in my home town lies when talking to me. Well, most of the time.

26. If you could learn any other languages, what would they be?
German. My last name (Neumann) is German for "new man", and I know more German than I know Draconian. :P

27. If you had three pet Pokémon, what would it be?
A Pikachu nicknamed Raichu, a Meloetta nicknamed Kimberléy and a Chikorita nicknamed Sylvia.

28. What were the ten most recent video games you've played?
Ace Attorney, Terraria... and the rest I forgot... ^_^"

29. Which do you prefer, the early morning or the late night?
The late night. My skin's sensitive to the sunlight, and somehow I'm allergic to suncream... or one of its ingredients, but either way.
That's why I don't go to the beach.
That, and it's winter. And I can't swim, and the people in my home town hate me and...

30. What is your favourite weapon from all the video games you have ever played?
The Green Phasesaber from Terraria. (It looks awesome, plus I like green. :P)

Now, Wayne comes in. I think it's the first Well other than mine I'm posting in.
Looks like it.

Sorry if I accidentally ask questions that already have been asked before.
Don't worry about it. :P

1. What is your opinion on Pokémon?
It's awesome.

2. If you could be a Pokémon for one day (week, month?), which one would you choose and why?
A Raichu. Why? Because when I was younger, it was my most favourite Pokémon. (Then I found out all the other Pokémon in 2011, and, well...)

3. How would you act if you received a new pet cat?
Ignorant. A new pet cat would just bring back the memories of the previous ones, and even so, my father wouldn't allow it. My mother already has three cats already.

4. How did you find Cave Story?
June 2007 PC Format.

5. What's the first video game that you've ever played (the oldest one you can remember)?
Adventure Island IV (in Japanese) for the NES. (I didn't even know that was an NES until 2012.)

6. If you found a 100 dollars/whatever currency note, what would you do with it?
R100? I'd be unable to do anything with it, since the prices of food and such keep rising these days.

7. What country would you like to go to most and why?
I already live in said country.

8. Which Pokémon would you like to have as a pet?
Pikachu.

9. What if Pokémon existed in real life?
Then I'd be a Pokémon Trainer, instead of a Cave Story modder :P

10. Which video game character you like the most?
... I'd have to say Rio (from the Japanese-only Draglade 2).

11. How do you spend time when you're not home?
I pace.
In other words, I walk up and down. (And left and right and forward and backward.)

12. What video games do you like playing the most?
In a random order:
Cave Story, La Mulana, Ace Attorney, Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Quest, Pokémon, Terraria.

13. What is your opinion on politicians?
I don't care much about politics. It annoys me, actually.

14. Do you think you will improve your drawing skills soon?
Probably not.

15. Do you like cheese?
Yep.

16. Why are there so many immature Net users?
Because they're immature...?

17. Do you think you will leave home in future?
No.

18. Did you go anywhere outside your home town this week?
No. The last time I went anywhere far from Gansbaai was 25 January 2013, on the day of the funeral of my maternal grandfather.

19. What was your most recent meal?
Cheese. Just plain cheese. (It was yesterday evening, and there's almost no food in the house.)

20. What is your favourite drink?
Banana Yogi Sip (in other words, drinking yogurt).
Yay South Africa.

21. Do you like/read creepypasta?
I don't read it. And I don't eat it, either :P

22. Do you believe in magic?
Let's see.
Considering all the times I've gotten through suffering, and all the wounds I have, and also the weird things that have happened?
...
Yes.

23. Have you ever wanted to do something VERY stupid?
Nope.

24. Are there any things that you regret right now?
Y'know... I feel like I regret something right now but... I don't know what. :o

25. Do you prefer water or juice?
Juice... as long as I'm not allergic to anything in it. (And I'm allergic to almost all fruits.)

26. If you could meet any person from anywhere in the world, who would you choose and why?
Any one person? It'd be mr. de Goede.

Of course, if I could meet any group of people from anywhere in the world, I'd choose everybody on these forums. :P

27. Do you like to wander around aimlessly?
I do it when I'm bored and can't write.

28. What is your favourite book?
Sadly, I don't remember.

29. Have you ever played Heroes of Might and Magic (any version)?
No.
I have tried in the past, however, but it didn't work on my computer.

30. Are you rather a coldhearted person or a sensitive person?
Considering I don't cry anymore (unless it's due to hayfever), I'm cold-hearted.
However, I'm also a sensitive person...

31. What is your favourite nickname?
"Bane".

32. Do you consider yourself as an 'outsider'?
I suppose?

33. Do you have any real life friends?
I had only one, but the last time I heard of him was in July 2012, when I was away due to not having electricity.

34. What is your favourite time of day?
Night.

35. How do you celebrate moments important to you?
I don't. :(

36. Are you a vegetarian? Do you know any vegetarians?
I don't think I'm a vegetarian, because I know I'm not a Vegeta :P

Joking aside, though: I think bacon counts as meat, and I eat bacon. Therefore, I'm not a vegetarian.
As for knowing any vegetarians, I don't know of any. For all I know, some of the forum members could be vegetarians.

37. How did you meet KarjamP?
You're better off asking KarjamP for that; I don't remember much.
I know it was at Mossmouth, probably around July 2012, when I had returned from not having electricity.

38. Who's your best friend?
All the forum members? :P

39. How would you react to your forums' deletion?
... That... would be the one time anyone would see the fury of a furious teenager being furiously furious flowing freer than the oceans and rivers.
In other words, I'd react with a LOT of anger. Which could possible even scare Taylor.

40. Do you still go to school? If not, when did you finish it?
I started first grade in January 2003, which was the year I turned 7.
I dropped out of high school around 5 March 2011, because of five students getting an entire classroom in detention.
I had just started with ninth grade then, too.

(Yes, school begins in January in South Africa.)

41. Who is your archenemy?
I don't know...

42. How long do you play Terraria?
I've played it since late 2011. Speaking of which, I'm working on a wooden tower right about now. And then I'm going to make said tower spawn enough Mimics to scare Hardmode off XD

43. Why did the chicken cross the road?
Because it was running away from the farmer...?

44. Do you like cars?
NO.
It's because of drunk drivers that Raichu and Simba are dead...
...
The only use cars have for me are to anger me.

45. Would you like to have a pet rabbit?
Nope.

46. What do you do when you're mad?
Break stuff? Depends on how angry I am.

47. Do you prefer bad news or lies?
I prefer bad news. The truth will come out eventually.

48. How often do you draw?
When I'm bored? :P

49. What are your plans for the remainder of this year?
... To work on Hope of Shané: Frost.
Also, to survive.

50. Is 50 questions enough?
It helped contribute to me having to answer 116 questions in one post :P

More questions (Take That!)
Gah! (-22)

HP: 078/100

1.Did you defeat Ballos on your first try?
Nope. Didn't even know about the hidden ending until 2009, and I didn't have Internet access until April 2011.

2.How hard for you was the Sacred Grounds?
I died 515 times before beating Ballos.
Is that proof enough of how hard it was? :P

3.Favourite weapon in the original CS?
The Blade.

4.Do you like painting?
Nope.

5.What kind of music do you like?
Video game music.

6.Have you completed La-Mulana?
Only the original version.
As of 17 May 2013, I broke my left arm falling off a ladder so I couldn't try and complete the remake.
The best I could do in the remake (one-handed)? Beat Palenque, the sixth Guardian.
I didn't even see it coming.

7.Do you like playing AOE 3?
I used to, until my father decided to play it. (And he even punched me in the face when I managed to edit the XML files to get monster trucks to be spawned.)

8.Have you played Minecraft?
9.Your opinion of a creeper in Minecraft?
I have never played Minecraft in my entire life. Therefore, I cannot answer question 9-IV, which is why it's in the same quote.


Also, "9-IV" just means the fourth "9" question that I'm answering :P
That way, no-one'll think that it's Taylor's "question 9"-related. :P

10.Would you want to sprite LF2 sprites?
Yes, but it's more difficult than my spriting skill allows me to.

11.Favourite fruit?
Bananas.
It's the only fruit I'm not allergic to; I'm allergic to all other fruits (as far as I know).

12.How many cousins do you have?
I don't know, actually. :-\

13.Do you believe in luck?
14.Do you believe in fate/destiny?
Yes to both.

Ciao.
Meow. :P
