Video Game Meme (Stolen and Tweaked from Cyran's)
14 years ago
1- Very First Video Game
I don't know what it was called, but I DO know it was on the Atari 2600 in about 1987. The first I remember is Duck Hunt. I was trying to play Mario Brothers. Grr.
2- Your Favorite Character
Have to break this one down by era. They all have such greats.
NES- Luigi
Gameboy- Marin from "Link's Awakening" I was pissed at the ending.
PC (Pre-2000)- Shema from the "Quest For Glory/Hero's Quest Series" The dance in QFGII was softcore furry porn. No ifs, ands, or buts about that.
Xbox360- Toss-up between the Arbiter from the Halo series and Lucien Lechance from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. I have such a crush on Lucien. It's not funny or amusing. It's pathetic. If Lucien had a furry equivalent, I'd just have to cream my pants there on the spot.
Wii (They should have called it the Revolution. Wii? Really?)- Ammy from Okami. A wolf with attitude.
3- A Game That is Underrated
Quest for Glory/Hero's Quest. This game was both hard as brass balls and amusing as I'll get out. Not to mention that there were bad jokes at every turn, executed in such a way as to make you love it rather than despise the writers. Sierra, I miss the heck outta you.
4- Your Guilty Pleasure Game
Soul Calibur IV. I get a little perverted high off of dressing and undressing the various characters. I also totally geek on the combat styles. I STILL cannot get anywhere playing Voldo. His combat style eludes the happy ____ out of me.
5 - Game Character You Feel You Are Most Like (Or Wish You Were)
The Adoring Fan in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. That is totally what I would be in that world- an adoring onlooker falling all over myself to be stepped on by the epic hero. That's what I find myself doing most in the fandom- following others around. (Who I WISH I Was- My character in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Leader of every faction, Prince of Madness, and all-around badass with a heart of gold.)
6 - Most Annoying Character
The Adoring Fan from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
7 - Favorite Game Couple
Harley Quinn and The Joker from "Batman: Arkham Asylum". The dynamic between them is priceless, even if in all reality, that has got to be the weirdest platonic relationship ever. Come on, you seriously think the Joker would tap that? He's too wrapped up in causing mayhem to get him some acrobatic, extremely flexible. . . I'm stopping here before I develop a crush on yet another fictional character.
8 - Best Soundtrack
No surprise here- The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Followed VERY closely by Bioshock.
9 - Saddest Game Scene
The 'Good' Ending of Bioshock. I cried like a baby. Oh, did I cry. It wasn't so much sad as bittersweet. For truly sad, I have to go to something else. I don't like spoiling, though, so. . . you'll have to put up with bittersweet.
10 - Best Gameplay
I'm going to take this question to mean "gameplay you enjoyed the most without glitching or other issues". That goes to Portal. I love the shit out of that game's mechanics.
11 - Gaming System of Choice
Tossup between PC and XBox360. Though I must note that 'favorite' is a loose term for as casual a gamer as I am.
12 - A Game Everyone Should Play
Plants vs Zombies. Accessible, funny, fun to play and includes mini-games and zen garden. A GREAT intro to gaming that doesn't require a great deal of commitment of time or effort.
13 - A Game You’ve Played More Than Five Times
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. I got into this game and wanted to experience every facet of it. Therefore, I have Good, Evil and Neutral characters that specialize in Combat, Magic, and Stealth. I'm hell on a hard drive. I have to admit, my least played character was a combat-centered evil character. He's still stuck in the Assassin's guild about on-quarter of the way into the main storyline. I admit. What I do with that guy frightens the happy heck out of me.
14 - Current (Or Most Recent) Gaming Wallpaper
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood- The Officer (Study for eventually MAKING that outfit)
15 - Post a Screenshot From the Game You're Playing Right Now
Mmm, no thanks. I doubt you want to see that.
16 - Game With the Best Cut Scenes
Hmmmm. . . tough call. I'd have to say either Bioshock or Halo 3.
17 - Favorite Antagonist
Tie. Sander Cohen from Bioshock vs. The Joker from Arkham Asylum. I like my villains just a little on the crazy side.
18 - Favorite Protagonist
So far? Sam Fisher from the Splinter Cell series. Life screwed him over royally and rather than becoming a whiny ass about it, he proceeds to grab that life by the horns and tell it to suck harder. like the bitch it is. Just like a sailor should. Anyone who makes sailor-bashing jokes can just line up to lick this guy's boots.
19 - Picture of a Game Setting You Wish You Lived In
Again, not good on pics, yet. However, I want to vacation in Cyrodiil so bad. That, and can I get a timeshare on Myst Island?
20 - Favorite Genre
RPG. Fantasy preferred. However, I have to say, Fallout 3 and New Vegas have a very special place in my heart, even if they are TECHNICALLY FPSs.
21 - Game with the Best Story
Have to break this down by Genre, cuz there are some kickass writers out there.
RPG- Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn. I want to read a novel version of this SOOOO bad I can taste the asshole vibes coming off of Jon Irenicus.
FPS- Halo. Not the original. The SERIES. Some of it was disappointing to the majority of fans, but to quote another FPS, "War never changes".
SciFi- Portal. Don't get me wrong, I loves me my Mass Effect, but I adore Portal. This game was a mindjob that played with physics. That, and I didn't get very far in Mass Effect before it got loaned out and hasn't yet been returned.
22 - A Game Sequel Which Disappointed You
Soul Calibur IV. I love the game, but much preferred the feel and look of III. I think they could have gone a much better place with this. However, I DO still love the game.
23 - Game You Think Had the Best Graphics or Art Style
Batman: Arkham Asylum. So many video games try to either pretty things up or make them positively ugly, yet still beautiful in the aesthetic that they ARE so ugly and decayed. B:AA did something very few games have done: took a world that was gritty and artful, rendered it using modern technology. It was polished and well-done without being shiny and too pretty for the storyline. I was just blown away.
24 - Favorite Classic Game
Duke Nukem 2. All outta bubblegum.
25 - A Game You Plan on Playing
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Oh HELLS YES. I will play it like MEN.
26 - Best Voice Acting
Batman: Arkham Asylum. Mark Hamil can still scare the crap out of me.
27 - Most Epic Scene Ever
The Arbiter's Branding/ Master Chief's Medal Ceremony. EPIC.
28 - Favorite Game Developer
Used to be Ubisoft before they got all uppity about the 'Net. And no user manuals. Now? Bethesda, baby.
29 - A Game You Thought You Wouldn’t Like, But Ended Up Loving
Mass Effect.
30 - Your Favorite Game of All Time
Conquests of Camelot: Search for the Holy Grail. Type in 'ham and jam and spam a lot' in the treasurer's for a cool tribute. Also, great jokes. Another Sierra piece of awesomeness.
