Up Close and Personal with Mr. Insane
A big thanks to Maxximus, who conducted this interview!
He's a clear loon with a quirky sense of humor. Meet Mr. Insane, an... insane
(duh!) staff member at Neopets. The programmer of popular games such as NeoQuest
and NeoQuest II, Mr. Insane swears that he's from outer space and is only living
on Earth so he can implement his plan of galactic domination. Who is he really?
Nobody knows, but what we do know is that he wants to create a Harry Dean
Stanton neopet. To find out more, read on and discover some wickedly insane
facts about Mr. Insane.

Greeted by trumpets; maidens strewing rose petals across my path. 10:32 am - Yelled at for being late. 11 am - CLASSIFIED 12 pm - Lunch 1 pm-5 pm CLASSIFIED 6 pm - Start work. 7 pm - Go home. 9 pm - Redesign Tokyo. 10 pm - Watch TV. 10:30 - Turn on TV, watch actual TV programs. 11:30 - Bed.
11) How many neomails would you say you get daily from fans?
None. However, my enemies send me at least a half-dozen neomails a day a day.
12) What do you dislike most about Neopets?
Our timetable for galactic domination is a little behind.
13) What is your favorite avatar?
Krishna.
14) Favorite paintbrush?
The Impossible paintbrush. Wait, I'm not supposed to talk about that. *waves hand* You heard nothing.
15) Favorite item?
Money.
16) Favorite color?
Money green.
17) Have you made an item before? If so, what is your favorite and why?
I once made a little clay ashtray at summer camp. However, the favorite item I made is the Moon.
18) What previous jobs did you have on Neopets?
I've always worked on games as well as some back-end stuff. Additionally, whenever we need to invade another company and pillage their offices, I usually lead the armored cavalry division. I am also the Archbishop of Glendale.
19) When is your birthday?
A long time ago in a hospital about eleven miles from here.
20) Have you played Neopets as a user? If so, how long?
I'd never even heard of Neopets before they called me offering a job.
21) What is the best/worst thing about your job?
I am only paid a finite amount of money, rather than the infinite amount that would be preferable. However I understand that your human financial systems do not allow for infinite paychecks, so I suppose I must endure.
22) If you could live in any neopian world which would it be and why?
If there was a world devoted entirely to cheese, I'd live there.
23) What is your favorite game and why?
NeoQuest II. Because I wrote it, and I'm arrogant.

Global Thermonuclear War.

Harry Dean Stanton.
26) If you could trade jobs with anyone on the Neo Staff, who would it be and why?
Adam, so that I could only come into the office for five hours a day. Just kidding! Adam is actually chained to his desk and never allowed to leave. The photographs of him at the Dr. Sloth TCG launch are actually a
body double.

They called me offering a job.
28) How did you get your job at Neopets?
They called me offering a job.

Space pirate.
