Fairly happy. It's a game that can be put away on short notice should something urgent come up, and can be returned to once the threat has been dealt with. I don't have a great deal of time for it, regardless, but it's a nice form of relaxation after another busy day of plotting and/or being defeated.

how about instant ramen do you like it?
- Cheerleaders? I have no interest in them, to be quite frank. They're tarted up girls there to essentially provide the boobs for a low-IQ crowd. I'll pass.
- Instant ramen? It gets a bit boring sometimes, but it's ridiculously easy to make, and exceptionally cheap. It has a lot to recommend for itself.

He was mildly annoyed. Then he washed it off. In hindsight, I really don't know why I did this.

Do you get royalties from the games?
I'm just curious.Thanks
- The starting pay for (non-robotic) minions is determined by how well they present themselves, and by what they can accomplish in the first few weeks of their tenure. If they're useless, they're demoted to janitor and get paid little. If they do well, they get a higher position, and get paid a little better.
- Of course they do. Of course, the holiday bonuses come with an exceptionally strict non-disclosure agreement (And believe me, I will find out if someone breaks the agreement.), but I'm not heartless. Just bent on conquering the world.
- Vaguely. They usually annoy me, although Ganon, at least, isn't evil for evil's sake. He has a goal beyond "kidnap the princess, then figure it out as I go along". Sometimes.
- I have a few ideas in mind, but my first move will be to keep him incarcerated and attempt to convince him of the fact that my cause is just and Sonic is just helping corrupt regimes stay in power. Should that fail, I will keep him imprisoned until I have, in fact, conquered the world. As ever, I am hesitant to kill the Hedgehog. I've tried to do so on occasion when I was driven over the edge, and I still regret those moments.
- That one wasn't too bad. Although, are you referring to the US version (known as SatAM, I believe), or to the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog? Because neither of them were truly bad. They were just geared to an audience of a young age in the 90's. Humour has taken a different turn since then.
- I do, as a matter of fact. Sega does at least try to keep me cheerful. I might be made a fool of by their games, but overall they at least strive to make me a credible threat. And they realise I am a credible threat, given the lovely notes (with cheques) I get for every game. I'll see if I can't dig one out later and quote it here, they're really quite well-written, if a bit fawning.

Nothing wrong with a good bit of curiosity. It's one of the foundations of science, after all!
