I haven't had Everclear yet.  My brother tried it, warned me.  Thing is, it's alcohol - the burn you feel doesn't actually correspond with how much it'll affect you.

And apparently the burn was REALLY bad, heh.
But straight alcohol burns, too, in a similar way.  This is about twice as potent. 

Normally I do shots. We did 1/4th shots and still got fucking wasted.

I never knew I had such a big place in my heart for vampirates. I'm loving this faction so far. It's a pity they're not working in naval battles with this, but I get it - a whole lot of work and most people don't really enjoy them all that much. Shogun 2's naval battles - both in vanilla and Fall of the Samurai - are really the only TWs where I've actually liked playing them, but if they could manage something like that  again I'd be all over it.

The ship battles in Rome 2 are bullshit.

Not if you let everyone in on that fact first, you won't.

Well the requirements for me to become that particular prestige class are soul-crushing and prohibitively painful so if it comes to that I'll be firmly in "Hanslanda doesn't really care about anything anymore" territory.

My hands and feet go numb and get difficult to move when I sleep. Is that arthritis?

I'll have to get my mom's recipe for pork chops with fried apples and pecans, but she's in Amsterdam for the week.

I'm a sinister looking ex-criminal arrogant American. I'm definitely an antagonist.

Also judging by the books, especially the Horus Heresy, warp travel is a lot more reliable than you'd think. It does depend on the Gellar Field being functional, but otherwise most travel happens as if warp travel was just extremely efficient FTL that once in a great while tries to eat your soul.

Tl;Dr warp is like airplane. Sure there are crashes and they're very publicized, because "10000 other flights went totally fine!" Is a boring story.

Hanslanda, stop challenging forum-goers to deadly roof-top battles.

I mean, you could always volunteer as tribute.

Anyway, in terms of spatial sense and fitness, I suppose I'd be alright at martial arts. It's interesting working on a farm with poor facilities (when I say interesting, I mean deadly) so one learns to act quickly. Fun times getting a cow to stop by literally jumping on its horns and dragging its head around, or avoiding crazed-mummy-cow-trying-to-escape-and-incidentally-crush-you. Let's not forget the time part of the roof, including a beam, collapsed and I had to throw myself backwards. Or the time the cattle broke a gate and sent it flying, though granted it was just chance that had me standing just away from it and not spatial awareness.

Farms are dangerous places.

I'm pretty fast, reaction wise. I don't think I'd be bad at martial arts. The few fights I've been in ended well for me. The one time I got headlocked, I forced them to flip me over and took them with me. I'm not entirely sure how I didn't pass out, it was a really good headlock.

I also have absurd pain tolerance. Which could be good and bad in a fight. I am a firm believer in de-escalating conflicts, avoiding violence, and if violence becomes necessary, then using overwhelming and brutal force to eliminate the threat as fast as possible. Or running. I prefer running.

... How do you feel about rooftops and thunderstorms?

My little musketeer beard/moustache ensemble twitches with excitement at the thought.

I've often been nicknamed D'artagnon, but I'm more of a miniature Porthos.  Can we tumble off the edge to an almost-certain doom, only for one of us to reappear at a plot-convenient moment?

Yes.
