Meme Crap
This is a video game meme I saw in one of the communities I watch. I promise to try finding more actual decent content soon, I swear.
1) What was your FIRST video game console?
I could honestly say Atari 2600, but I don't remember it as clearly as I do my NES.
2) Name a few games you played on said console.
Atari 2600: Grand Prix, Pac-Man [yes, THAT version]
NES: Ice Hockey, Kung Fu
3) Excluding handhelds, how many VG consoles do you own presently?
Only counting the ones that are actively hooked up (and that I'm not debating getting rid of - hello, XBox!): Four.
4) Were you a Street Fighter nut? Any character in particular?
Sorta but not in a big way. Chun Li was my favorite of the original lot.
5) Do you think Capcom is a F---ING awesome company with kickass character designs?
They've got some good characters, yeah.
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?
They'd better wash their hands. I've replaced enough food-damaged controllers already.
7) What's your favorite RPG/Action RPG?
Shining Force II. Strategy RPGs are still RPGs.
8) Do you prefer 2D games or 3D games?
Either.
9) Are you an SNK fan?
Yes, and not just for their fighting games. Crystalis is a great game, too.
10) Are you good at DDR?
I used to be able to do 7s with some effort, but I'm woefully out of practice with it.
11) Who wants to kick that dog's ass from Duck Hunt?
Ooh! Ooh!
12) Have you skipped out on important events in life because of video games?
No.
13) Do you listen to video game music?
Listening to one right now, in fact!
14) Have you ever cosplayed a VG character?
At least once. Several times if you count my "River City Ransom character" outfits.
15) 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??
I've never really kicked ass in an arcade, per se.
16) Name three games you would love to see remakes of if it was done properly.
Streets of Rage (an official one), Mutant League, and Sonic (oh snap!).
17) Mario or Sonic?
Sonic, hands down.
18) When a movie shows up in the theaters, let's use Spider-man as an example, are you likely to buy the GAME version?
Generally, no. Not unless it offers something special as a game.
19) What is your LEAST favorite genre of video games? (ex. fighting, sports, shooters, etc.)
Probably shooters, with a few Rare exceptions (hint, hint).
20) Is there a game out there that you feel was unique and didn't get enough love?
Not really. Even the unique stuff has at least a cult following, which feels fine to me.
21) Have you ever verbally abused a game because you couldn't beat one of the levels and/or bosses?
Snowboard Kids comes to mind.
22) Do you own any VG apparel?
Yes.
23) What are your thoughts on the live-action Super Mario Bros movie?
I... don't remember it that well.
24) On that note, what did you think about the live-action Street Fighter movie?
I love it in a "so bad it's good" kind of way. "Hurry! Change the channel!"
25) Who's hottest out of the KOF chicks?
Uh... I kinda like Blue Mary, I guess.
26) Do you say "old-school" a lot when you're having a VG conversation with others?
Sometimes.
27) Have you ever lent someone a game and they returned it to you damaged?
No, but I have lent someone a game that they had so long, they forgot they had it.
28) Do you own any imported games?
No. ...well, there's Maui Mallard, but that's a pirate so it probably doesn't count.
29) In this scenario, let's pretend you're going to get a video game tattoo! What would you get and where?
I've never really given it any thought, but I guess it would have to be something that has meant something to me for a LONG time (Kunio-kun comes to mind), and in a place where I could easily cover it (like, say, my upper arm).
30) Have you ever cried after you beat a game? If so why?
I probably have, but I can't remember specific examples.
