Doesn't matter what kind of a pun. No pun will actually make me laugh.

I don't really have an constant insipration, so to speak. It'll mostly be just something I see on the internet that interests me enough and gives me an idea. Hell, the whole concept of my first revenge scheme that led to Endless came from Ferdie's editor tricks in Umineko fashion. :P
Who's writing style do you enjoy the most?
I generally prefer ones that don't encompass THAT much environment descriptions. I know, it sounds silly - but I generally think that most fiction is made around the characters (well - fiction that has a plot, that is) and not some description on how pretty the flowers are. Of course, right now, this opinion isn't really that mature, and I understand I'm not appreciating the "art" of it, but at the moment, it's just something that find annoying rather than interesting... especially if it drags on for like a page. So, I guess you could say that's one of the reasons I like visual novels as a medium - they have the "show, don't tell" in its most perfect form.
That being said, I can't exactly name a specific author. Basically, I appreciate anyone who interests me enough. XP

What's your favourite riddle?
Shannon's third, obviously. :awesome:
What's your favourite difficulty level for games?
Normal. Because I'm too not-pro for games to handle the tough ones...
What's your personal accepted theory for Umineko?
Spoiler : Potential Umineko Spoilers :
Well - while the "official explanation", as some call it, is preferred due to all the characterization set up with the meta-world, I admit that logically... It's a bit iffy. Above all, the third game is what kills it.
Now, there is an alternative explanation you can find on the web (Just YT KnownNoMore and search for his Umineko videos - warning, it's 8 hrs long). It does encompass some... interesting ideas, but it's also sketchy on more than certain parts.
Do you think that now that there are rules in place you'll ever re-have a go at Subetnomono?
Sadly, I don't think there's much more for me to say. I fired the one legit theory I had, and firing any others would just be kinda silly. I mean, there really isn't much more for me to claim...
Who's your most favourite fictional character of all time?
Peter Griffin from Family guy, duh.
...
Nah, I'm just screwing with ya.
I actually don't think I can say which one's my favorite. I'm... really not THAT hardcore of a reader, but on contrast, I've watched a lot of TV shows (and movies are somewhere in between, I guess) to just say someone off the top of my head. Nobody jumps out at me for the moment...

What do you like so much about south park?
The general insanity of it. While I admit, there are times where I don't get the satire of it, just seeing the completely ludicrous situations they find themselves in is entertainment enough for me.
Favourite SP character?
Kenny.
Spoiler : :
Although, the poor guy hasn't seen that much dying recently...
Personal pick for next MotM? :P
Pfffft... Iunno - Ferdie, maybe?
Favourite word?
Evidently.
Favourite mystery novel?
Well... I've actually gotten my hands on the Crooked Hinge, so I'll get back to you on that, but for now...
It would be Christie's "Curtain".
Spoiler : :
And yes - "Turnabout Curtain" did get its name from that. Actually, TC was inspired by the novel by one... particularly interesting aspect.

Favourite murder type?
Locked Room, obviously.
Favourite murder method?
Being shot. Think of the possibilities.
What do you think of cluedo?
I got one featuring the Simpsons. It's... fun. But ya gotta get people to play it with you which is a pain. Not necessarily a bad board game, though.
Favourite movie?
I think at the moment, "V for Vendetta" comes close. There's just something about the movie that I can see it over and over and over again and just not get bored by it. The comic's pretty interesting, too, even if the MC is quite different.
Favourite villain?
Scrappy, from Scooby Doo: The Movie. Duh.
Who do you think Jack the Ripper really is?
I'll go with Detective Conan Movie 6 told me. I can't for the life of me think who it was, but that's what I'll go with.
Ever thought about becoming a detective?
The thought has crossed my mind, and I'm keeping it as an option... Under "unrealistic dreams".
Favourite locked room?
Still reading The Crooked Hinge, so I'll get back to you on that.
Favourite joke theory for Umineko?
Master Chef Ghoda.
Favourite endless night?
I'm going to say no. 2, but that was only because it was the only one that I actually had the time to give theories on without being beaten to the punch... XP
Favourite question on this list?
This one.

Spoiler : UmiTheories :
You're talking about the Rosatrice theory, right? I actually already watched that. Besides the Erika problem with counter factuals it seemed pretty sound to me. I personally adopt that theory but just assume that the Shkannon part of Shaknnontrice is true to avoid that logic error there.

No, I don't think the official explanation does a good job either (from a logical perspective though). I take more of the view that.... It doesn't really matter who did the murders, it's the underlying message of the game that is much more important...

Hm... I actually had to think about this a litte... considering it's reached 16th season so far, but... I guesssss...

The Coon
Marjorine
Casa Bonita
Professor Chaos
Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow

...In no particular order, I suppose. They're not necessarily the funniest, but they are the ones I actually strangely kept coming back the most to... XP
EnergizerSpark wrote:What are your favourite movies/books/TV shows?
Well... South Park is one of them, American dad, Family Guy (yes, even family guy), Futurama (sadly, cancelled) a... You know what, I just realized how much animated shows I watch. Huh.
From books... Mystery in general, I suppose. I do admit that I like reading it more when it's actually in Croatian (considering there's a chance I might not be able to understand a word XP), but being in english doesn't really detract, either. As far as movies go...
Well...
I mentioned V for Vendetta I really liked...
...Right now, nothing really comes to mind.
I like Nolan's Batman movies (I'm impressed how very different, and yet very much alike they all are), The Unusual Suspects... I've actually meaning to get around to sitting down and watching Citizen Kane, but... XP
