1) What was your FIRST video game console?
Game Boy Pocket (does that count as a console?)
2) Name a few games you played on said console.
Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball (still play that one), Star Wars, Pokemon Red and Blue, Donkey Kong, and a host of others.
3) Excluding handhelds, how many VG consoles do you own presently?
N64, PS2, GameCube.
4) Were you a Street Fighter nut? Any character in particular?
No, but I do appreciate Chun Li (*sideways glance*)
5) Do you think Capcom is an awesome company?
They gave me Megaman, so they're not all bad.
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?
Motherfucker needs to wipe his hands.
7) What's your favorite RPG/Action RPG? I will allow a second and third fave if you insist.
1. Pokemon Diamond
2. Lunar Legends
3. Breath of Fire
8) Do you prefer 2D games or 3D games?
No preference.
9) Are you an SNK fan?
No.
9) Are you good at DDR?
Yes.
10) Who wants to kick that dog's ass from Duck Hunt?
I haven't played it enough to work up the vitriol.
11) Have you skipped out on important events in life because of video games?
Yes.
12) Do you listen to video game music?
I've got the soundtracks to:
Ace Combat 4 & 5
Metal Gear Solid 3
Super Paper Mario
Command & Conquer, Red Alert, Red Alert 2, Tiberian Sun, Firestorm, and Yuri's Revenge
Katamari Damacy and We <3 Katamari
Half-Life 2
Halo & Halo 2
Final Fantasy X
Guitar Hero 1, 2, 3, and Rocks the 80s
Medal of Honor: Frontline and European Assault
I also have a bunch of DDR music sprinkled in, as well as both Black Mages albums and the Smashing...Live! CD that came free with Nintendo Power Magazine a few years ago.
13) Have you ever cosplayed a VG character?
Yeah, I dressed up as Snake for Halloween two years ago.
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??
No, I've never played fighting games in arcades for that very reason.
15) Name three games you would love to see remakes of if it was done properly.
Pokemon Gold and Silver, Half-Life (I'm really looking forward to Black Mesa Source, and independent game rebuilt from HL2-level graphics), and Ocarina of Time.
16) Mario or Sonic?
Mario.
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. Why the fuck would anyone do that?
18) What is your LEAST favorite genre of video games? (ex. fighting, sports, shooters, etc.)
MMORPG (or as Yahtzee would say, Mum-Mor-Pig-ers).
19) Is there a game out there that you feel was unique and didn't get enough love?
Sigma Star Saga for GBA.
20) Have you ever verbally abused a game because you couldn't beat one of the levels and/or bosses?
Yeah, that would be Perfect Dark. I love it to death but getting past Area 51 is like pulling teeth.
21) Do you own any VG apparel?
I had a Pokemon sweatshirt when I was in middle school, but other than that nothing.
22) What are your thoughts on the live-action Super Mario Bros movie?
I liked it, but because of the interaction between Mario and Luigi and not because it was true to the games.
23) On that note, what did you think about the live-action Street Fighter movie?
Bleh.
24) Who's hottest out of the KOF chicks?
Don't pay attention to those games.
25) Do you say "old-school" a lot when you're having a VG conversation with others?
Not really. I don't put a lot of emphasis on old-school (oh, fuck, I did say it) games because I think modern games have just as much merit, even if the quality level has dropped off a bit and great games are few and far between. But they do exist (Half-Life 2, Gears of War, and Final Fantasy X are just a few examples of the really good ones in recent years). And video game companies haven't forgotten old-school (oh, shit, I did it again, fuck), with games like Pokemon as evidence of that.
26) Have you ever lent someone a game and they returned it to you damaged?
Worse. I let my friend play my GBA on the bus one time and he lost my copy of Sigma Star Saga. Lucky I had already beaten it and gotten the best ending, or I would have been extremely pissed. I still jab him about it, though, and I'm still trying to decide if I should buy a new copy or not.
27) Do you own any imported games?
No, I'm pretty patient.
28) Are you ready for this meme to be over, or could you keep going?
I like memes. Let's rock.
29) In this scenario, let's pretend you're going to get a video game tattoo! What would you get and where?
I've actually decided that one of these days I will get a tattoo of the Selkie tribal emblem from Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles on my upper left arm.
30) Have you ever cried after you beat a game? If so why?
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. The ending literally had me sobbing because it was so inspirational.
