Which Doctor Who are you?Quiz Created on GoToQuiz (Yay! I'm really happy about that result, because I totally heart the 8th Doctor. The audio dramas are awesome and Paul McGann is love.)
Video game survey:
1) What was your FIRST video game console?
Sega Genesis.
2) Name a few games you played on said console.
I liked the Sonic games, especially Sonic 2 (I used to play it over and over while listening to music, and to this day some albums still remind me of it), and for some reason was inordinately fond of Ecco the Dolphin. Also some movie-based games, 'cause back then, sometimes they didn't suck... I think the Aladdin game was pretty decent, for example.
3) Excluding handhelds, how many VG consoles do you own presently?
I have a Wii, an Xbox 360, and a PS2.
4) Were you a Street Fighter nut? Any character in particular?
I don't think I've ever actually played it.
5) Do you think Capcom is a FUCKING awesome company with kickass character designs?
Haha, someone's biased. I don't pay that much attention to designers, honestly, so I doubt I could even tell you which games Capcom made/makes. Yes, I know, I'm a bad gamer.
6) Here's the scenario.. You had some friends over and you all ate FRIED CHICKEN! After the meal you all decide to play some video games. As your friend reaches for a controller you notice his/her hands are very "greasy." Are you the type that would insist they wash their hands before pawing the controller, or is it no big deal?
I think I'd at least ask them to wipe their hands, if not wash them... lol.
7) What's your favorite RPG/Action RPG?
I will always have a fondness for Final Fantasy X, because (noob alert) it was my first RPG, and I still adore the battle system and sphere grid beyond all reason. I also loved Shadow Hearts Covenant.
8) Do you prefer 2D games or 3D games?
I suppose it depends on the type of game? 3D games are more immersive, but also more likely to give me motion sickness, so maybe it's a draw... heh.
9) Are you an SNK fan?
Considering I had to look them up to see what they've actually done, and haven't played any of those games...
9) Are you good at DDR?
Not really. I can just about get through most songs on medium.
10) Who wants to kick that dog's ass from Duck Hunt?
What'd the poor dog ever do to you? (maybe I'd understand if I'd ever played Duck Hunt. This survey makes me feel like a very very bad gamer. >.>)
11) Have you skipped out on important events in life because of video games?
Not that I can recall.
12) Do you listen to video game music?
Nah, not really. Unless the radio stations in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City count... hehehe. I just don't really like instrumental music in general.
13) Have you ever cosplayed a VG character?
No. Never really cosplayed at all, except once at an anime con and that was really more of a gag costume without much effort put into it.
14) Have you ever been in an arcade playing a fighting game, KICKING ASS, and then some 6 year old Asian kid comes in and OWNS YOU??
Haha. I don't really play in arcades, but this would be funny.
15) Name three games you would love to see remakes of if it was done properly.
Heh... I want a next-gen Clay Fighter. Come on, it would totally be awesome.
16) Mario or Sonic?
Mario's games are certainly better these days, but as a character, and for nostalgia purposes, I gotta go with Sonic.
17) When a movie shows up in the theaters, let's use Spider-man as an example, are you likely to buy the GAME version?
No, because generally game tie-ins suck.
18) What is your LEAST favorite genre of video games? (ex. fighting, sports, shooters, etc.)
I really have no interest in sports games, unless they're really silly and cartoony like Wii Sports or the Mario sports games or whatever. And I don't really like FPSes, unless it's something like Bioshock, because Bioshock owns you and is better than everything ever.
19) Is there a game out there that you feel was unique and didn't get enough love?
The Shadow Hearts series, especially the second one (haven't finished the others yet). It's a great RPG that's unique in a lot of ways. Instead of a typical fantasy setting it's set in an alternate-history version of WWI with magic and demons, and each character has interesting special abilities (my favorite is the girl who causes damage and status effects by using tarot cards and mixing aromatherapy oils) and their own fairly in-depth sidequest to follow. Plus the games are partially inspired by Lovecraft, and he even appears as an NPC in the third game! <3
20) Have you ever verbally abused a game because you couldn't beat one of the levels and/or bosses?
LIKE IT'S MY JOB. And for some reason I have a serious Mario Party rage problem. I am generally not too bad a sport about competitive multiplayer games, but for some reason every time I play Mario Party I end up swearing at the screen, swearing at the other players, threatening to throw important pieces of hardware out the window, and various other bad behaviors. *hangs head* I am properly ashamed.
21) Do you own any VG apparel?
I don't think so.
22) What are your thoughts on the live-action Super Mario Bros movie?
Can't remember if I've seen it.
23) On that note, what did you think about the live-action Street Fighter movie?
Definitely haven't seen it.
24) Who's hottest out of the KOF chicks?
a) haven't played it and b) am straight. :P
25) Do you say "old-school" a lot when you're having a VG conversation with others?
Depends on the topic, I guess. Not usually.
26) Have you ever lent someone a game and they returned it to you damaged?
Heh... the Fredonia kids killed my Gamecube (or at least with regards to Melee), if that counts. But I had a Wii by then so I didn't care that much. :P
27) Do you own any imported games?
No, although I was tempted by the X fighting game back when I was a crazy anime fangirl. But then I found out they'd completely left out one of my favorite characters and relegated the other to an unlockable, so I was displeased. XP
28) Are you ready for this meme to be over, or could you keep going?
I've been working on it off and on, so I don't care. XD
29) In this scenario, let's pretend you're going to get a video game tattoo! What would you get and where?
Augh tattoos, do not want.
30) Have you ever cried after you beat a game? If so why?
Not that I can remember. Of course, my media ADD combined with the fact that I don't like to finish things means I haven't actually beaten all that many games. :P
Survey #2:
1. What time did you get up this morning?
First I woke up at 9 am when
jadedguardgirl came in my room and climbed on my bed *rolls eyes* then I mumbled something profane and she went away and I went back to sleep until 10:45. :D
2. Diamonds or pearls?
Pff. I'm so not a jewelry person. I guess I'd choose diamonds just because they remind me slightly less of old ladies.
3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema?
Quarantine... *smiles happily*
4. What is your favorite TV show?
I have tons, but I guess my most favorite would probably have to be Doctor Who.
5. What do you usually have for breakfast?
I don't usually eat it. I know, oooh, so unhealthy, but usually when I first wake up the idea of eating makes me kinda sick.
6. What is your middle name?
Anne.
7. What food do you dislike?
Pickles, lemons, and fresh tomatoes. And red meat, cola, and cheesecake, just to prove that I don't just hate things that are relatively healthy. :P
8. What is your favorite CD at the moment?
Right now I'm into "Warnings/Promises" by Idlewild.
9. What kind of car do you drive?
A Buick LeSabre. 97, I think. Is old tank of a car... I heart it.
10. Favorite sandwich?
Right now, honey roasted peanut butter... omnomnom. I also like the Sierra Turkey sandwich from Panera, and anything with chicken & spinach.
11. What characteristic do you despise?
Condescension.
12. Favourite item of clothing?
My favorite comfortable jeans (that are a size smaller than I usually wear and fit perfectly :D)
13. If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would you go?
Honestly, I love New York City... and I am going there in two weeks, so yay! But to think a little more adventurously, I'd like to visit Australia. Just because I've always had a fascination with it, and for some reason I really like their music... XD
14. Favourite brand of clothing?
Doesn't matter. I used to shop almost exclusively at NY & Co. but lately I don't like the clothing trends they have decided to run with, and I never find anything there anymore. Sniff.
15. Where would you retire to?
California, maybe. Except that it's expensive. But the weather would be more my speed than Buffalo.
16. What was your most recent memorable birthday?
Blah. I don't really want to think about my last few birthdays. All I remember about the last one was that it was right around my trip to Portland (...ugh.), and the one before that I spent being depressed because of someone's stupid Europe trip. So I'm thinking this upcoming one is going to be much better than the last two. :)
17. Favourite sport to watch?
The Olympics. Otherwise I am bored by sports.
18. Furthest place you are “tagging” this?
I don't really do tagging. Anyone who wants it can do it!
19. Person you expect to send it back first?
Dunno.
20. When is your birthday?
January 15th, 1985.
21. Are you a morning person or a night person?
Definitely a night person. (Heh, Michelle, I feel the same way whenever I go to California. It's weird getting up at 9 am and feeling totally rested and ready for the day.)
22. What is your shoe size?
It varies... I think 8.5-9.
23. Pets?
None, unfortunately. Want kitty!
24. Any new and exciting news you’d like to share with us?
Not really. Going to Boston and New York City over the next few weeks, so that should be exciting.
25. What did you want to be when you were little?
I have always wanted to be a writer. I still do, although my major problem is not being self-confident enough to stick with anything I start writing.
26. How are you today?
Pretty good! Being kinda lazy, but happy because I have lots to look forward to.
27. What is your favourite candy?
I like just about anything from the Target Choxie brand. The Kona coffee bar and creme brulee bar are really really good. :D
28. What is your favourite flower?
I'm not really a flower kind of person. Flowers = nature = something I have very little use for except in certain very specific contexts that I won't mention because
raquhelnseaelf will yell at me. XD Anyway, I guess lilacs? I dunno.
29. What is a day on the calendar you are looking forward to?
Basically every day from Christmas until mid-January, because there's all sorts of exciting stuff going on... the holidays, nationals, visiting NYC, my birthday, getting to see the boy again while he has a relaxed beginning-of-semester schedule... it should be awesome. :D :D
30. What’s your full name?
Keri Anne Hyde.
31. What are you listening to right now?
jfpbookworm playing Fallout 3.
32. What was the last thing you ate?
A Mexican wedding cookie, because they are delicious. <3
33. Do you wish on stars?
Not on stars, specifically, but I do wish for things.
34. If you were a crayon, what colour would you be?
Chartreuse! XD
36. The first person you spoke to on the phone today?
I haven't talked to anyone on the phone yet today.
37. Favourite soft drink?
Does iced tea count as a soft drink?
38. Favourite restaurant?
It depends on what kind of food I'm in the mood for. Either of the pho places we commonly go to (99 or Saigon) are always favorites, and I just rediscovered how unreasonably awesome Pizza Plant is, though the food takes forever (BUT IS SO WORTH IT). Also, Ruby Tuesday, because we rock it up with the blackberry tea and croutons. :D (it figures I'd write a novel for this question... I'm such a pig >.>)
39. Real hair colour?
Medium-dark brown.
40. What was your favourite toy as a child?
...I was a pretty damn spoiled kid, so I had a lot. I remember being obsessed with my Whiz Kid, this little laptop-shaped thing that played trivia and educational games using cartridges and cards you inserted in a slot. And I had a couple of American Girl dolls that I loved... I could amuse myself for hours just reading the catalog.
41. Hugs or kisses?
How could anyone possibly choose? It depends on the context and the person.
42. Chocolate or Vanilla?
I actually prefer vanilla most of the time. I like chocolate itself but I don't like most chocolate-flavored things (except frosting).
43. Coffee or tea?
COFFEE :D :D :D
44. Do you want your friends to email you back?
As I said above, emails make my day, but you can see the origin of this meme here... and this question doesn't really apply.
45. When was the last time you cried?
Yesterday when I couldn't get my stupid car out of the snow. Yes, I cry very easily, leave me alone.
46. What is under your bed?
Um... some CDs, some clothes, god only knows what else... haha.
47. What did you do last night?
Hung out with
jfpbookworm and
jadedguardgirl, baked cookies, talked to Chris online (*obnoxious happy face*), and watched two episodes of a horror anthology series, one of which was reaaaaallllly scary. (And directed by Stuart Gordon, which I didn't even know until after!)
48. What are you afraid of?
Never making anything of myself, which is looking more and more likely every day thanks to my anxiety and lack of motivation. Also, losing my friends and people I care about and being left alone. And rare deadly diseases... or non-rare deadly diseases... or any diseases actually.
49. Salty or sweet?
Sweet. Unless I've had too much sweet stuff already.
50. How many keys on your key ring?
Four or five, probably.
52. If you can choose your talent, what would it be?
I would like to be a better and more confident writer... or if it's a talent I don't have at all, I sort of wish I could draw.
53. Do you make friends easily?
If I'm in the right circumstances. I'm not sure if I could move to a totally new place where no one knew me and start making friends, though. Which is part of why I don't want to. >.>
54. How many people will you tag this to?
No one. I don't really do tagging.
55. How many will respond?
Dunno! Whoever's bored? :P
