In for GOG codes. :-)
I consider myself a forum regular, however I'll try to answer your questions to my best ability:
1) Tell me of an "Oh God, how did I fail that bad" or "In your face!" experience you had in an FPS game.
I consider myself an old-school FPS player, because that when I started and that's where I left off. I haven't kept up, so when I've played a match with some friends, I've felt good the few times I've been able to take down one of the best out of sheer chance. That's been good for a laugh.
2) What control scheme that has gone at least up to the prototype stage would you like to use for a game that doesn't support it, and how would it make the game more entertaining/fun.
Interesting question, but I don't have an answer for it. Back when PC was the primary platform and Xbox/Playstation were new, there were some games announced for PC, that ended up being console exclusives (or at least primarily), that I would have liked to play on my PC in their original form.
3) Are you (or were you) active in a research field? How did you become involved into it?
I've studied Computer Science and have been involved in research projects, however I do not have any publications to my name, though I may occur in the thanks section.
4) One classic and one new release on GOG that really excited you, and why?
Of the ones I've witnessed, it has to be System Shock 2 for classic release. I never played it back in the day, even though I saw and had been able to pick up a copy from a bargain bin long ago (my memory is fuzzy and it may have been the first System Shock). I've regretted that ever since. Though I haven't picked it up yet, it is at the top of my wishlist.
As for new releases I haven't kept up with the beat so to speak to get overly excited for a specific new release. However, I watched the live stream of Divinity: Dragon Commander and am looking forward to that one.
5) Do you know about the GOGWiki? Why haven't you been active there yet? What page of the Wiki do you think you could "adopt", to make sure it's correct and up-to-date?
Yes, I know about the GOGWiki, but I haven't been active there yet. I haven't had the time to make updates there, but I'd like to at some point.
