1) What are your favorite features/items/etc. in the game?
Items you may have ignored the first time, but that turn out to have a use, such as the crystal fish, vacuum collapser, timeless bauble, toy robot, etc. On a similar note, I enjoy some of the combos - foldy guy plus gong, for example - that other people complained about.
Also really love Mods since they allow an ongoing supply of surprises generated by other fans of the game.

2) What are your least favorite features/items/etc. in the game?
While I like the combos, I'm not as fond of some one-item wins.
The mirror can really reduce the fun, since spaceship combat goes away.
The Particle Vortex Cannon is just too good - even though I could wish for a Nova Cannon, I'll wish for a PVC instead 'cause it kills fighters too.
General bugginess irritates me too. While I love modding, it's brutal sometimes trying to figure out how to debug the mod you've been slaving over. Could really use some debugging tools (for mac).


3) Which map size do you prefer?
Small. I can fit a game in between other projects, or cram in a couple quick games while dinner is cooking.

4) Which player ship do you prefer?
I want to say science vessel, because I like the value scale it creates with coins/prices.
But the Frigate is the most fun. Just wish there was some value to lifeforms and non-systems in the Frigate scenario so you had to choose between trading for valuables and trading for better weapons.


5) Do you think the bosses (Kawangi, Primordius, Vent Mother, Deep Hunter, Garthan carrier) are too easy, too hard or just right?
Kawangi's a tad too hard, but that's okay from something you see every 15th game and are best nuking from a distance.
Garthan Carrier is super easy, doesn't feel like a boss.
The others are just about perfect.


6) When you play Weird Worlds do you "play it safe" or do you play risky?
If I'm on the small map, or just killing time, I play take lots of risks. The occasions where I'm in the mood for a large map and longer game I tend to play it safe so as not to blow my progress on one bad fight.


7)When you play Weird Worlds, do you "roleplay" it?
Sometimes, but rarely, and only when on the Science Mission.
I also often flee from Zorg and Muktians in hope of befriending them later, but that's less roleplaying and more metagaming.


8) Do you keep a Weird Worlds shortcut on your desktop?
The Mac equivalent, yes.

9) Who is your favorite Weird Worlds character?
The Zorg. I know, a race, not a character. But I dig their faux-zen quasi-hipster goobledygook.

10) Do you own/play Strange Adventures in Infinite Space?
Yes. Learned about Weird Worlds because of SAIS. I broke SAIS out again after nearly a year of not playing, and checked the web for new SAIS mods only to learn of WW:RTIS.
