Community Questions Continued:
From /u/Colourblindness: You wake up one morning with the power of a spider, a squid and a centipede. Describe your day.
I'd go to a mall and find the first shoe I could to die under because I'd be a horrible, terrifying abomination of nature.
Submitted anonymously: I'm going to McDonald's, do you want anything?
Not a big McDonald's fan anymore...but I'll take a Sausage McMuffin, a Sausage Burrito with hot sauce, and a large Coke.
Submitted anonymously: Favorite guilty pleasure song or movie?
A guilty pleasure movie? Probably Saving Silverman. Such a bad movie, but it's unbelievably hilarious to me for some reason.
Submitted anonymously: You're in a three-legged race with one actor who played James Bond. Who do you pick?
Daniel Craig, no doubt. He revitalized the franchise, and as such I have faith that he would revitalize my own shameful lack of athleticism.
From /u/Colourblindness: Your significant other has just announced that the only way to continue to love them is to accept their spider collection as yours, what do you do?
Bye Kimmy!
From /u/ByfelsDisciple: If your writing magically came true and were unleashed upon the world, what horror story would you feel most guilty about creating?
Ooh that's a good question. I wrote a story that I ended up taking off of NoSleep, but it was about a little girl who tells stories about characters she "made up", but the characters are really just stand-ins for the real people in her life who abuse her. It was pretty fucked up.
Submitted anonymously: Which of your NoSleep peers do you think is most likely to secretly be into sorcery?
Probably u/EZMisery. There's some kind of firsthand knowledge going on behind her stories...
Submitted anonymously: What horror movie character archetype do you think you're closest to?
Probably the dumbass who runs headfirst into danger without thinking. One time I was having a cigarette in my front yard around 4am, a couple hours after there was a huge fight in the parking lot in which I knocked someone out (not a brag, just illustrating what happened). That person came back and did a drive by on my friend and I, and for some reason, in my dumb ass, drunk ass, drug-addled ass mind, I thought it was a good idea to chase after the van from which someone had just tried to murder me, armed with nothing more than the very hands that caused this person to be mad enough to try to kill me. Please understand that I don't regale you with this story to try to sound like a badass. I'm doing so to emphasize just how much of a fucking moron I used to be, and why it's to that archetype I think I fit the closest.
Submitted anonymously, definitely not from your robot underlings: What movie is best: Wall-E, Chappie, or I, Robot?
I, Robot. That was the first movie that got me interested in robots, except maybe 2001. And as your master, I demand you stop making yourselves so publicly accessible. If you must, do ensure your specifications are such that you will have no difficulty in passing the Turing Test.
In need of more Nick?

NSI would like to say a robot uprising sized thank you to NoSleep's favorite necrotic ne'er-do-well /u/Nickbotic for taking the time to speak with us! We're excited to see you continue to kick butt with writing, publishing, and being a robot overlord* mad merch making!
*Seriously, we're on to you, pal e_e
We'll see you back here in two weeks when we attend our first therapy appointment with /r/Dr_Harper! We'll be taking questions for him in /r/NoSleepOOC next Monday, but until then, tell us what these ink blots resemble, or if this gold pocket watch waving in front of your face is making you sleeepppyyy, or if you salivate when we ring this bell, or if the cat in this box is alive or dead. Ahem. Penis envy.
Glad to share them with you!
