[shurastriker]

C1. Favourite videogame and why.
Castlevania SotN because i fkn love the music and the game mode is not super hard like you need to stress too much so is quite enjoyable... i actually played several times and always feel like there is something else to do.

C2. Favourite current gaming platform (PS3, PC, Wii, 360) and why.
I stopped playing in PS2 but fuck PV gaming is nothing but trouble... also Wii is silly so i say PS3 or 360

C3. Favourite "dead" console (NES, Genesis) and why.
NES, i owned one and had lots of fun with it

C4. You may take 3 current videogame characters to Tokyo Disneyland to frolic around. Whom do you take and why?
Yuna, Rikku and Paine from FFX-2

C5. The best song from any videogame.

[Datalanche]

C1. Favourite videogame and why.

Team Fortress 2. As much as I love the Halo franchise I think TF2 has overtaken it for me. The reason is simple: it's the most fun I've ever had playing a video game. Ever. I love it.

C2. Favourite current gaming platform (PS3, PC, Wii, 360) and why.

At the moment, PC. It's a relatively new platform to me for gaming but I'm enjoying the hell out of it so far. The community is slightly more mature (usually) and the games seem to have a better deal of support than some others I've seen.

C3. Favourite "dead" console (NES, Genesis) and why.

NES. Memories galore, man. It was my first console and a bullet point of my childhood. Those old Mario games are timeless, man.

[Amplifier]

C2. Favourite current gaming platform (PS3, PC, Wii, 360) and why.
PC. I rarely play consoles anymore, PC offers so much more freedom.

C3. Favourite "dead" console (NES, Genesis) and why.
NES, because it was my first, and I poured so many hours into it.

[Datalanche]

C4. You may take 3 current videogame characters to Tokyo Disneyland to frolic around. Whom do you take and why?

Master Chief from Halo. Rocket launchers to make the lines go away.
Ayane from Dead of Alive. Dat pink hair and dem skills.
Samantha Byrne from Gears of War 3. Strong women with accents. <3


C5. The best song from any videogame.

Halo 3 ODST Soundtrack - Rain

The Halo 3 ODST soundtrack (and game period) was just AMAZING.


C6. Favorite control method (360 pad, mouse + keyboard, Wiimote, etc).

Keyboard and mouse are becoming my preferred method. I used to hate it, now I wonder how I ever preferred much else.

[Hart]

C1. Favourite videogame and why.

Legend of the Dragoon. It was the very first RPG that I bought and the first RPG that I've completed. Also love the characters, the storyline, the music, and the simple battle system.

C4. You may take 3 videogame characters to Tokyo Disneyland to frolic around. Whom do you take and why?
will come back to this later

C5. The best song from any videogame.

Okami has the BEST music.

[Hart]

C2. Favourite current gaming platform (PS3, PC, Wii, 360) and why.

I would say Wii because I just like using the wii-mote to play games. And even though the graphics are not that great compared tot the PS3 or 360 I'm more interested in the gameplay.

[Datalanche]

C7. A game console that didn't last long enough.

I dunno... Virtual Boy maybe? I never owned one but it was fun to play in the Toys R Us store. Well, except for the burning out eyes out part. Dreamcast seems to be the popular choice but I never owned one.

C8. A videogame song that makes you want to dance.






C9. Favorite screencap from any game.

[Hart]

C3. Favourite "dead" console (NES, Genesis) and why.

The good old NES. First console I've ever own. Got me into gaming. Also, loved playing Duck Hunt despite hating that stupid dog.

[Datalanche]

C10. Your favorite videogame character.

Probably Master Chief. He does have a pretty rich history if you read the books and shit, and he's a general badass.


C11. Favorite videogame villain, and why.

Bowser. Incompetent and rigs his own castle with all kinds of shit that can kill him. He's either really stupid or really confident.


C12. Your crossover game (Kingdom Hearts, Dissidia)

Super Smash Bros. That counts, right?

[Hart]

C4. You may take 3 videogame characters to Tokyo Disneyland to frolic around. Whom do you take and why?

Master Chief, Kratos, and Dante. I just want to see the hilarity of them there and the chaos they would make. 

[Datalanche]

C13. Favorite videogame soundtrack.

Halo 3: ODST

C14. Favorite online game/MMO.

Team Fortress 2 count? cause that's about it lol

C15. Least favorite videogame ever.

Most RPG's. There are a few exceptions but I am mostly overwhelmed by them.

[Hart]

C5. The best song from any videogame.

Zelda's theme.



I would've picked either Tifa's theme or Aerith's theme, but this make me more relaxed than the other two songs.

I can roll with this..

C1. Favourite videogame and why.
Zelda: A Link to the Past

Got it for the holidays when I was young. It was so challenging and so fun. The music was sooo good. The dungeon music used to scare the crap out of me. Heart racing and sweaty palms with half a heart left with that beeping noise to let you know you we're one hit away from being fucked anddddddddddddd dead. The series is an institution and early Zelda's are a must play. They are timeless treasures.

C2. Favourite current gaming platform (PS3, PC, Wii, 360) and why.
All my current gaming is done on PC. I haven't owned a console since dreamcast. The flexibility of being able to upgrade your PC as you see fit and never have to pay exorbitant prices just to be able to play the latest and greatest games every 3 or years because of console turnover is nice. Plus having a killer PC is nice in general for browsing the internet or watching netflix. I guess most modern consoles can do these things as well but, for me, there's nothing that matches up to w,a,s,d and a mouse.

C3. Favourite "dead" console (NES, Genesis) and why.
SNES. It was my first console ever and ever since I starting playing on it I've never stopped gaming. I still have it and it works! It's like a functional piece of art now.

C4. You may take 3 videogame characters to Tokyo Disneyland to frolic around. Whom do you take and why?
yoshi so I can ride him around and have him eat different color turtle shells so I can do crazy shit. the princess from mario bros and zelda so we can have a frank talk about how not to captured really easily so years of my life can be saved playing an avatar to save these idiots.

C5. The best song from any videogame.
like I said earlier, Zelda dugeon music. If this doesn't make you nervous as fuck I don't know what will...

[Hart]

C6. Favorite control method (360 pad, mouse + keyboard, Wiimote, etc).

Headset. Was thinking of the game Lifeline.



Might not be perfect, but telling the main character, especially a hot girl, what to do? Awesome. 

[thatonezombie]

C1. Favourite videogame and why.

Just one? Shit. I'll pick Final Fantasy 8. Squall learns to love!

Edit: I forgot to put the question in bold.

[Hart]

C7. A game console that didn't last long enough.

Sega Dreamcast. Ended long before it's time.
