The zombie apocalypse is upon us. Most of humanity has already fallen to the hordes of flesh-eaters. You have survived because of your ingenuity, cat-like reflexes, and dashing good looks. As you travel in search of food, you find a grizzled old man who offers to give you a powerful weapon. Now is your chance to make a difference in this battle against the undead. You can choose any one weapon, real or fictional. What do you choose and why?I would probably choose a baseball bat. Despite the fact that zombies are undead humans, they're still undead humans. Hitting a person in the head with a baseball bat is enough to incapacitate them. Maybe even cause brain damage. With their slow reflexes and inability to easily asses any situation in any way other than, "Hey, look, flesh. Gimme," the ease with which a zombie could be incapacitated with a baseball bat is profound. Just for added measure, though, I want a baseball bat which a button on the handle that reveals a 6-inch spike on the end of the bat, just in case.

Do you think the game community could be doing more to cut down on harassment or unsporting behavior in general?Just don't react. If the bullying and harassment isn't actually harming anyone (physically or mentally), don't intervene. If it's a "haha -blam!- you guys we won", don't respond. That's how flamewars start. The old adage about "if you ignore a bully, they'll just stop" works in most situations (but not all). Also, utilize the report, flag, or any equivalent button. It's there for a reason.
You may think it doesn't matter, or that nothing will get done, but not doing anything guarantees nothing will get done. At least with reporting you're on the board with a solid 1% chance.
What do you think is missing from video games right now?The absolute disregard companies have for the image of a series. Call of Duty has slipped into monotony, the likes of which I didn't think was achievable and yet Activision is going to continue to spew out the same product every time with slight alterations. "Same, but different" works for comedy routines, James Bond movies, and the Madden games. It does not work for and should not be used on other genres and mediums of entertainment.
Also, running an idea or franchise into the ground is never the right way to go, even if it's profitable. If anything, think about your image as a company. As much as some people want to see their favorite series continue, they don't want to see them run into the ground. Thus, if you can't find anything good to do with the series, don't do anything with a series. It's better to take that called Ball with the bases loaded than to embarrass yourself and strike out on something that wasn't even close to the plate. Because nobody will remember that your team got the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th after coming back from 5 runs down; they'll remember that you struck out.
