I’m jumping on the AMA bandwagon. So here it goes:

I am entry moderator and recently declared “rage comicologist”, Sav. Ask me anything!

Man, I was waiting for this. Ok. What makes you a “Rage Comicologist”?

My love for rage comics. But the reason I became a “rage comicologist” is mostly due to the Rage Comics entry I started and largely wrote a few months back. I saw my meme entries getting better and better (since they started being frontpaged more often) and this was no exception.

Awesome, so what were your intentions before becoming an icon of KYM? What was the main thing that drew you to this website?

How do you feel about this thread not being featured… yet?

Recently, it seems rage characters have gone from crude MS Paint drawings to actual pictures of famous people, arguably starting with Yao Ming and the Dumb Bitch/Fuck That character. How do you feel about this?

Favorite videogame?

Favorite band/album?

What do you feel about the obvious meta of recent rage comics, in that people specifically make faces to become popular, instead of just making ones to help express the feel the rage maker is trying to convey?

What is your current favorite meme?

What is your favorite entry to have worked on?

my intentions were to learn about memes. the first thing that drew me to the site was Jamie Dubs’ video on Rickroll. Before that I thought Rickroll started on YouTube (the April Fool’s joke). But then I said, “wait a minute”. After watching a few more episodes, I decided to give KYM a try. And I instantly loved it

don’t really care, even if it never happens.

I love it. And I especially love the fact that it then turns into an interest of the famous people to reddit, thus doing an AMA (see Neil Tyson, Matt Dillahunty)

How’s it going over there in Greece?

Favorite videogame?
I don’t play videogames. But I love the culture behind Skyrim.

Favorite band
Favourite band: Scooter

Album
Favourite album: Under The Radar, Over The Top

What do you feel about the obvious meta of recent rage comics, in that people specifically make faces to become popular, instead of just making ones to help express the feel the rage maker is trying to convey?
I often find that they fail to succeed, that is, they don’t really catch on, except if the face can really portray an emotion. And that pleases me.

What is your current favorite meme?
Rage comics-wise, I’d say Yao Ming. Generally, I’d say “Arrow in the knee” (so many possible jokes).

What is your favorite entry to have worked on?
Rage Comics. I take special pride for it, even now.

No idea Tomberry. I was actually not from Greece, I’m from Cyprus. But I live in UK for now (work) but as I heard, it’s hanging OK. Greece on the other hand, sounds horrible

What is the most fun thing you’ve done this week?

What’s your favorite rage face?

If you could plan the best dinner ever, what would it consist of?

What is the most fun thing you’ve done this week?

What’s your favorite rage face?

If you could plan the best dinner ever, what would it consist of?
pork chops, bulgar wheat with tomato sauce and german wine

You’re a coder right? If so, what language do you program in and what kind of projects do you like working on?

What are your favorite websites besides KYM?

yes, I am a coder. I program in several languages, but I mostly do Java. I mostly like working on web applications that involve other website APIs (KYM included) although I’m starting to learn a bit of mobile development.

My favourite websites besides KYM? Reddit (of course), YouTube (mostly for my daily dose of music and funny content), Facebook (for my daily dose of ‘who gives a s**t’ content) and StackOverflow (for coding).

I’ve never met a Cypriot. What’s it like to live in such a divided country?

apart from politicians struggling to find a solution, life’s pretty normal actually.

What is “Sav” supposed to mean?

When looking upon the mighty screen which has been blessed with the powerful ability to endure the mighty gaze of your eyeballs, and sending your overwhelming thoughts, thoughts that, if encountered in normal ongoings, would melt the minds of men like a microwave melts cheese, into the internet, how do you keep us safe and protect the internet from the streamed awesomeness that is your posts?

my name. or at least part of it

HOW IS IT IN GREECE IS THERE A LOT OF TOGAS

not much, except for costume parties and Olympic flame ceremonies

But I thought you lived in Britain!

I do. And I’m not from Greece I’m from Cyprus. But still…

HOW IS IT IN CYPRUS IS THERE A LOT OF ISLANDS

nope, just one

Oh.

I don’t have anything else to ask you.

Damn, island country. And I thought I’m the only one.

What’s your work in the UK?

developer

Did you know that you’re technically Asian?

technically I’m an Earthling. that’s as far as I care.

How do you feel about your AMA being necrobumped?

like my AMA suddenly decided to become Zombie Jesus

Oh. I thought that would be somewhat surprising to you, seeing as Cyprus seems like more of a European country than any other Continentality.
