[60 QUESTIONS VIDEO GAME MEME]
[GENERAL:]
01. What was the first video game you have ever played?
I honestly can't say. But I do remember games like Burger Time (not the NES version, the one before NES) Q-bert, that tank game that's been remade for Wiiplay, etc.
02. What was your first console?
To call my own. Deffinately the orginal NES.
03. Have you ever visited a video game arcade?
PFFT! ROFL! You couldn't keep me out of those as a kid. I use to love the arcade. Now they're pretty rare around here though. =(
04. What was your first handheld?
I believe it was the gamegear. I only had one game for it and I never played it. Points if you can guess what game it was. XD (shouldn't be hard)
05. What was the first game you've beaten/cleared completely? (Got to the last level/got 100%/beat high score, etc.)?
I'm honestly not really sure. If you count the fact that I'm old enough now to understand how to find great guy casino, then I think Super Mario RPG was the very first game I've cleared 100%. Culex was a bitch. >.<
06. Games based off of real sports: Yay or Nay?
They're okay. Only good though when you're playing them with friends. Otherwise I don't bother with them unless they're made fun like Hot Shots Golf or Wii Sports. ^.^
07. Online games: Yay or nay?
I really want to get into one. One is Phantasy Star Online but I never had the network connection for the gamecube. I know it's on PC now but my PC won't run it. I also tried to play Audition which didn't work and I really wish they'd stop messing around and finally make a REAL .hack MMORPG not a simulation. >.>
08. Do you play any Massively Multiplayer Online RPG games (MMORPGs?)
*points up* That pretty much makes it a no.
09. Do you play any virtual pet games (Neopets, Teripets, Aftermathzone, etc.)?
I use to have Nintendogs. That game was awesome till I never found anyone to play with.
10. Puzzle games and Strategy games: Yay or Nay?
Puzzle games kick ass. There's one I can't find unless it's high priced on ebay and that's intellegent cube. >.>
11. Do you play any RPGs?
Damn right I do. They're like some of the best games sometimes. ^.^
12. Do you play any Platform games?
Yeah, but not too many.
13. What was the first game/console/handheld of yours that stopped working?
My PS1 because it fried after a thunderstorm. When the power was restored to our house, it was plugged into the wall and I think there was a strong jolt to the house and yep, that was the end of that. Also recently my Dreamcast stopped working. =( (NOOOO! NO MORE PROJECT JUSTICE!!!!)
[CHARACTERS/PLOT:]
14. Do you actually care if a game has a plot or do you just play games for the gameplay?
Sometimes I play for plot. I can't get into it if it bores me sometimes. But a good example of me not caring is the Dynasty Warriors games. XD I completely skip the story and just love the part of beating up hundreds of people. ^.^
15. Name a few video game characters that are your favorites.
Yuffie from Final Fantasy VII. Zidane from Final Fantasy IX. Lulu and Rikku from Final Fantasy X. Fran from Final Fantasy XII. Shadow from Sonic Adventure 2. Ashley from WarioWare. Those are just a few I could think of.
16. Name a few series that are your favorites.
Bust A Move/Groove, DDR, Pump It Up, Phoenix Wright, Tekken, Pop'n Music
17. Has a video game ever made you cry?
I honestly don't remember.
18. Has a video game character annoyed you so much that you wanted them removed from the game?
I know there's been a few, but I can't remember them. It's probably for the better that I don't. >.>
19. Do you "pair" or "ship" characters up with one another (make/create/write romance involving them)?
Nope.
20. Do you write video game fanfiction?
Nope.
21. Do you draw video game fanart?
If I could draw I probably would. =(
22. Do you come up with theories on how a character came to be/what they would do in a situation/why they is moody/etc.?
Can't really say I have.
23. Are you a "fanboy" or "fangirl" of any character?
Not really a fanboy but I do have my favs. =P
[BOSS/BATTLE/VILLAINS:]
24. Hardest Boss Battle?
Ya know, I have this problem of not leveling up enough in RPG's then when I get to the boss they're usually very hard. >.> I'm going to have to take this from my champ though and say that Trauma Center is by far has the hardest battles. Hell, they're bosses. Death is a boss. Fighting for life and death is serious business. >.>...<.<....>.>...
25. Most Frustrating Boss Battle?
Once again, Trauma Center on wii is the only game I can remember frustrating me currently. I haven't even beat it yet.
26. Most Rewarding Boss Battle?
Psh, all off them are rewarding to me. I mean what's more rewarding than beating someone who's suppose to be all bad ass then you're like, "TAKE THAT YOU BITCH!"
27. Funnest Boss Battle?
Can't think of anything currently. Wow, I suck. >.<
28. Most Boring Boss Battle
Ya know, I'm going to have to say this. If you get the fire flower on New Super Mario Bros. the boss battles where EXTREMELY boring.
29. Boss Battle that dragged out for a long, long time
Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII. Everytime he did that one move that took like 5 mins I'd put the controller down. I even went to get to get something to eat at one point. >.>
30. Boss Battle with the coolest music?
Does Panda from Bust a Move/Groove 2 count? ^^;;
31. Most Surprising Boss Battle?
Once again I'm drawing a blank. x.x
32. What's your all time favorite villain?
omg Raijin and Fuujin. XD I loved them. Ya know, I never finished that game either. o.O
33. What's your all time least favorite villain?
I really REALLY REEALLY disliked Seymour from Final Fantasy X. >.< I dunno why but I just did not like him one bit. Even when I first saw him I was like "omg who the hell is this guy *instant dislike*"
34. Do you ever feel sorry for the villains?
It's pretty rare.
35. Are there any villains that seem like they should be playing for the good guys, but aren't?
Drawing a blank.
36. Most malicious villain?
Villians must be my weak point. But ya know. After seeing the stuff I've seen in clock tower 3, those guys are pretty harsh. o.o;;
37. Most suprising villain?
I haven't finished the game and this is where I stopped. But when I went to kill Chopper in Clock Tower 3 and then he wasn't finished that suprised me. I really need to finish that game.
[FAVORITES:]
38. What is your all-time favorite 2D Game?
hmm, well....does Sonic Rush count?
39. What's your favorite 3D game (PS1/N64 generation)?
Ya know, we use to play Super Smash Bros. everyday. So I'm goign to go with that being my fav for that generation.
40. What's your favorite arcade game?
This is a kind of unfair question. I haven't seen many yet. Lately though I miss that we don't have a Pump It Up Zero machine anymore. But I must say I'm addicted to Pop'n Music. ^.^
41. What's your favorite current-gen game (Gamecube/PS2/X-Box)?
Well, for this gen I'll say Kingdom Hearts 2 was amazing. I really loved that game. It's one of the first games in a long time I played again right when I beat it. Current gen now is Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360. If I had to pick a fav out of those, right now Sonic and the Secret Rings would win. I had alot of fun playing that. ^^;;
42. Sequels/long series: Yay or nay?
I'm all for it.....but one series stands out that's just morally wrong. The .hack games. Don't get me wrong, they were good games to me, BUT! The fact that you have to pay for 3 or 4 of basically the same game to actually finish it is just wrong.
43. What's your favorite Online Game?
Umm....well, I haven't really played much online. One that was fun till snaking was Mario Kart DS. ^^;;
44. What's your favorite console?
Deffinately the PS2. It's what I've had the most games for. Not to mention I just got a japanese one so I'm getting into much more things on it now.
45.What's your favorite handheld?
Nintendo DS! There's no doubt Nintendo has really outdone themselves with this one. It makes me wonder if they're going to try to top it or just run it out as long as possible. I love my DS Lite! >.<
46. Have you ever got yourself involved in a "console war" (arguing that a console is better than another console)?
Not really. I've been in a few. I remember long ago when my friend and I use to argue about the SNES and Sega. He swore the Sega was better than the SNES. Those were the days. XD
47. Have you ever defended a character/game/console you liked in an argument? Which one?
I've had a few disputes about Nintendo at work. It use to be Nintendo against Sony but now it's Nintendo against Microsoft. *shakes head* I don't too into those though. I like all gaming systems.....I admit I even like the PS3 just a LITTLE bit. >.>
48. Name a game that you like but everyone else seems to hate.
Um....I'm not really sure. Currently I can't think of anything that is hated by most, loved by me.
49. Name a character that you like but everyone else seems to hate.
I dunno. Every character has a fan group somewhere.
50. Name a game that you hate but everyone else seems to like.
I don't hate it, but I don't see a reason to get into World Of Warcraft yet. I've watched friends play it many times and I just don't see it.
51. Name a character that you hate but everyone else seems to love.
*shrugs*
52. Have you ever stopped before you finished a game because it was too frustrating to go on?
I sure have. And I can't name one specifically, but I hate when you put a game down because it frustrates you to no end. Then for some reason you come back to it after putting it down for weeks and what you were frustrated with becomes the easiest thing in the world. >.> Then only worse then that is you get this new hope for the game and BAM! You're frustrated again. *sighs* The life of gamers man. /).-
53. Will you stop at NOTHING to get 100% in a video game?
I'm usually satisfied just beating things, unless there's something I said I'd come back and do, then I'll usually go back and do it. Other than that, it's rare something drives me to get 100%
54. Have you ever injured yourself at a video game?
Freakin Mario Party for the N64. Seriously, that stuff gave me blisters. Rotating that little stick with the palm of your hand was the worst idea, but was the only way you could rotate fast. >.<
55. Has a horror/survival genre video game scared you to the point that you refused to finish the game? Did you get nightmares from said game?
I never get nightmares from games, but I use to be a big scardy cat when it came to those games. I can normally tough it out now, but I'm still slightly a bit of a scardy cat. >.>
56. Have you ever thrown a controller/disc/cartridge in a fit of frustration?
lol of course. Nothing recently though except for my friend pissed me off in smash bros melee. I've also made a guy throw his controller because I kicked his ass at Soul Calibur 2. He was just a sore loser though. =P
57. Do you need to blow/clean certain games to get them to play?
Nothing recently, but honestly who hasn't blown into a NES cartridge. There should be a book on how many ways people have tried to clean those things. Alcohol and a q-tip, blowing in it, putting your shirt over the cartridge then blowing in it (my friends way of doing it). So many ways. x.x
58. Have you ever played a game for so long that you missed sleep over it?
lol RPG's are the best at doing that. That or just a game you really get into.
59. Were you ever involved in the Pokemon craze?
Yes and here I stand again after awhile with Pokemon Diamond. ^^;;
60. Last but not least: Do you picture yourself playing video games 10, 20, or 30 years from now?
Sadly, games are a part of me that I never want to let go. For better or worse, I'll always be a gamer.
