Surprise! I'm a huge geek so... Video Game Meme
14 years ago
z1) What was your FIRST video game console?
The Atari XE Game system

2) Name a few games you played on said console.
Oh god... Missle commander, pitfall harry two, archon and Druid.
3) Excluding handhelds, how many VG consoles do you own presently?
Three, PS2 and 3 and the Xbox 360 (On loan to a frend)
4) Were you a Street Fighter nut? Any character in particular?
Nope, though when i did play I liked Sakura or Ryu.
5) Do you think Capcom is a FUCKING awesome company?
I used to, but these days they just don't seem to care about their audience any more. Especially with the megaman legends 3 being cancelled and a death of the breath of fire franchise.
6) Here's the scenario.. You had some friends over and you all ate MCDONALDS 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?
Wash their hands, most of my friends are good like that though.
7) What's your favorite RPG/Action RPG? I will allow a second and third fave if you insist.
Shadow Hearts:covenent
Persona 3 or 4
FFX
8) Do you prefer 2D games or 3D games?
No real preference, you can make good games out of either.
9) Are you an SNK fan?
No.
9) Are you good at DDR?
Nope.
10) Who wants to kick that dog's ass from Duck Hunt?
Damn snickering hound!
11) Have you skipped out on important events in life because of video games?
No.
12) Do you listen to video game music?
Yes.
13) Have you ever cosplayed a VG character?
No, but i'd like to.
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??
Well he was ten and i was 14 but yeah.
15) Name three games you would love to see remakes of if it was done properly.
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.
FF6 in full 3d.
Deus Ex
16) Mario or Sonic?
neither.
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?
I am more likely to actively avoid it!
18) What is your LEAST favorite genre of video games? (ex. fighting, sports, shooters, etc.)
Sports.
19) Is there a game out there that you feel was unique and didn't get enough love?
Earthbound, especially since Mother 3 never got an American release. I know they are very popular in their niches but they just should have been more popular overall.
20) Have you ever verbally abused a game because you couldn't beat one of the levels and/or bosses?
Oh god yes, but not to the point of throwing controllers.
21) Do you own any VG apparel?
Nope.
22) What are your thoughts on the live-action Super Mario Bros movie?
I only saw it as a kid and though it was awful. Gotta rewatch it as an adult.
23) On that note, what did you think about the live-action Street Fighter
Which one? Then again i haven't seen any of them.
24) Who's hottest out of the KOF chicks?
I wouldn't have a clue.
25) Do you say "old-school" a lot when you're having a VG conversation with others?
Not enough that's common but enough that i can't say no.
26) Have you ever lent someone a game and they returned it to you damaged?
Nope.
27) Do you own any imported games?
Most of my DS games are imported.
28) Are you ready for this meme to be over, or could you keep going?
Yeah, wrap it up. Also, I hate stupid meta questions like this, it's pointless.
29) In this scenario, let's pretend you're going to get a video game tattoo! What would you get and where? (This can be simple or elaborate.)
Not sure what to be honest, no one thing about gaming has really stood out as permanent. Maybe the fall-out guy. It'd be on my upper arm either way.
30) Have you ever cried after you beat a game? If so why?
Not from finishing it, no. I have cried at events that happened in it.

I.. I assume thats a good thing.
Graphics don't mean squat to me and it just seems like older games had more going on, more creativity, than they do now.
Plus nostalgia :D
2nd one got so emotional.
I actually haven't played the second one, I've tried playing the rom on my psp but it just doesn't work right...
The second Megaman L2 is absolutely sweet, it actually delves into the Motherload story instead of a side quest like the first one. A lot more long and challenging as well. Played it on my computer with a PS1 ROM. Definitely find a way to play it.
L3 had me really interested and may have bought the other two onto the psn network... ah well :/
