Video Game meme
14 years ago
Friends've done it, so I guess it's my turn.
1. What was the first video game you have ever played?
I actually have no idea, I've been playing video games since before I can remember.
2. What was your first console?
Nintendo 64. I only know this because we had it in the hospital growing up, and my SNES was "borrowed" from a friend before they moved away.
3. Have you ever visited a video game arcade?
Yes.
4. What was your first handheld?
Game Boy COLOR
5. What was the first game you've beaten/cleared completely? (Got to the last level/got 100%/beat high score, etc.)
Not a clue. Probably something I played early on, but not the first game I ever played, I would think.
6. Games based off of real sports: Yay or better?
Ummm... It really depends. I like racing games (cars, carts, atvs, snowboarding, boats, anything really). But other than that, I can't think of a single sport game I really enjoy.
8. Do you play any Massively Multiplayer Online RPG games? (MMORPGs?)
Ummm... kindanotrly. I kind of sort of play Guild Wars some times.
9. Do you play any virtual pet games? (Neopets, Teripets, Aftermathzone, etc.)
No. Maybe a few when I was a kid, but I always lost intrest way too quickly to rly call it playing a virtual pet game.
10. Puzzle games and Strategy games: Yay or Nay?
Definitely. I do not have enough of these games.
11. Do you play any RPGs?
Um, not really, even though it is one of my favorite genres.
12. Do you play any Platformer games?
Yes. A bunch.
13. What was the first game/console/handheld of yours that stopped working?
Amazingly enough, the Nintendo Wii. Stopped reading discs on me forever ago, and I still haven't fixed it. :/
Characters/Plot
14. Do you actually care if a game has a plot or do you just play games for the gameplay?
Plot is one of the most important parts of a game for me; however, some games can get by without it. Like Killzone 2. That game had no plot, but it was still fun.
15. Name a few video game characters that are your favorites.
Seriously? You're asking for multiples, not just one? For the sake of brevity, I'll name only the tippity top ones. Isaac Clarke, Samus Aran, Link, Gordon Freeman (even though he doesn't have much of a character, he's epic and looks awesome and is an iconic figure for the HL series), Nathan Drake, Victor Sullivan, Sackboy, all the main characters in the Resident Evil seires, and many more. And those are just the hero characters.
16. Name a few series that are your favorites
Dead Space, BioShock, Metroid, Silent Hill, Half Life, Resident Evil, LittleBigPlanet, Uncharted, and more.
17. Has a video game ever made you cry?
Ummm... maybe? I don't know, I can't think of one right now. I'm not a big cryer, I haven't cried in almost two years.
18. Has a video game character annoyed you so much that you wanted him removed from the game?
No. Even the annoying characters have their place, usually. Although I've never been really annoyed by a video game character.
19. Do you "pair" or "ship" characters up with one another? (make/create/write romance involving them)
No.
20. Do you write video game fanfiction?
Once, for school. I try not to screw with cannon.
21. Do you draw video game fanart?
Yeah, every once in a while.
22. Do you come up with theories on how a character came to be/what he or she would do in a situation/why he or she is moody/etc.
Usually, no. I prefer to steadily learn about their backstory through the game as opposed to making assumptions. I may make the occasional guess, but I don't make up a backstory unless there is no real cannon surrounding that character.
23. Are you a "fanboy" or "fangirl" of any character?
Hellz yes. Issac Clarke and Samus Aran. Those characters in my mind can kick Chuck Norris' ass up and down the street any time of the day they want.
Boss Battles/Villains
24. Hardest Boss Battle
Shiii..... I have no idea. I've faced a few in my days.
25. Most Frustrating Boss Battle
Uhhh... dang, I had this in my mind just a little while ago, I forget... I may update this box when I get the chance.
26. Most Rewarding Boss Battle
A ton of final bosses. Often, beating a game gets you some pretty kick-ass rewards.
27. Funniest Boss Battle
That is a ridiculously hard question for me... I have no idea.
28. Most Boring Boss Battle
I cannot think of a single boring boss battle that I've played. Even the ones that would be boring otherwise were tense enough to keep them from dragging on.
29. Boss Battle that dragged out for a long, long time
You know, I think I remember a battle that lasted for a half hour, but I can't think of which one it was... *shrugs*
30. Boss Battle with the coolest music
Dang man, that's a tough call.
31. Most Surprising Boss Battle
It wasn't really surprising by the time you fought him, but the final boss of BioShock resulted from a huge plot twist that in my mind split the game into two parts. But the one that takes the cake, I think, is everything that happens in the end of Dead Space 2, leading up to the final boss. I was freaking out through the entire battle, because I couldn't believe what was going on.
32. What's your all time favorite villain?
Oh, god, so many. I love all the BioShock villains, they were so fricken amazing.
33. What's your all time least favorite villain?
Not a clue.
34. Do you ever feel sorry for the villains?
Again, all the BioShock villains. They all seemed to have lives before Rapture went to hell, and they were still completely believable people when you had to fight them. You really felt bad for everything that happened to them. The Dead Space villains, on the other hand, were the exact opposite. They screwed you over so relentlessly time and time again, that by the time they died, you wanted to see them suffer and die.
35. Are there any villains that seem like they should be playing for the good guys, but aren't?
I know there are, but I can't think of them right now.
36. Most malicious villain?
Tough one. There are a bunch.
37. Most surprising villain?
BioShock's final boss or Dead Space 2's final boss.
Favorites
38. What is your all-time favorite 2D Game?
Gah, geez. Uh... Super Metroid. That game was a masterpiece, and was made the same year I was born. :D
39. What's your favorite 3D game? (PS1/N64 generation)
Shiii... One of the Silent Hills, maybe? I still haven't beaten SH2, cuz I'm so scared of that game.
40. What's your favorite arcade game?
Blargh, I have no idea.
41. What's your favorite next-gen game? (Wii/PS3/Xbox360)
Dead Space 2. It's so hard to betray the original, but I think DS2 follows up on DS so perfectly, with control improvement, selectable suits, and multiplayer... I just have to give it to DS2.
42. Sequels/long series: Yay or nay?
YAY!!!!!
43. What's your favorite Online Game?
Um, seriously? Don't even ask me this quesiton.
44. What's your favorite console?
PS3. I disliked it at first because it seemed like it was purely about graphics, but then it got good games. Really good games. Like Uncharted and LBP and other epic exclusives.
45.What's your favorite handheld?
Um, I have the DS phat so I ges that. I doubt I'll ever get a PSP.
46. Have you ever got yourself involved in a "console war"? (arguing that a console is better than another console)
I don't like Xbox. I won't get into a flame war about it, but I dislike the Xbox fanbase, and I see no real reason to get the system other than Halo, which, while I admit is a good series, is waaaaaaaaay to oversold, overpraised, over-everything. that it makes everyone who isnt a Halo junkie pissed at the Xbots. The game's fun, but it's not god. Seriously, guys, get over it.
47. Have you ever defended a character/game/console you liked in an argument? Which one?
Yeah. Pretty much anything against the Xbots.
48. Name a game that you like but everyone else seems to hate
Um, there are a few. I can't think of any at the moment, sadly.
49. Name a character that you like but everyone else seems to hate.
Hahaha, there are quite a few in this category, but I think the major one is Navi. Everyone hates her, but I love her.
50. Name a game that you hate but everyone else seems to like.
I wouldn't go as far as to say I hate these games, but I dislike most generic "popular" games like Halo, CoD, and the like.
51. Name a character that you hate but everyone else seems to love.
Hm, quite a few, actually. None in particular that I really hate that people really love, but I generally dislike any character that is overly praised.
52. Have you ever stopped before you finished a game because it was too frustrating to go on?
No. I only stop playing games because I forget about them, or I no longer care.
53. Will you stop at NOTHING to get 100% in a video game?
No, the only 100% I've ever gotten was the Platinum trophy in Dead Space. Working on Metroid Fusion though, without a guide.
54. Have you ever injured yourself at a video game?
No.
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've been taking a pretty long break from Silent Hill 2, because I'm very scared of that game. It scares me. I've been meaning to play it, though. I'm just scared to.
56. Have you ever thrown a controller/disc/cartridge in a fit of frustration?
Nope. I threw a controller at a person once, but that was cuz I was mad at him, not the game.
57. Do you need to blow/clean certain games to get them to play?
Of course. Who doesn't?
58. Have you ever played a game for so long that you missed sleep over it?
Yes. Many, many a time.
59. Were you ever involved in the Pokemon craze?
I guess so. I wasn't as obsessive as most people, but I sure did liek me dem Pokemans.
60. Last but not least: Do you picture yourself playing video games 10, 20, or 30 years from now?
Duuuh. Video games are a major part of my life (sadly).
1. What was the first video game you have ever played?
I actually have no idea, I've been playing video games since before I can remember.
2. What was your first console?
