"Triviaverse on Netflix is a great, casual game to play with a non-gamer."

Tail or Cape?

"Cape is OP. "
Cape
Favorite Metroidvania
703d
"I play this once every other year or so and I feel like I still discover new things. You can't beat the breadth, the gameplay, the design. It's all nearly perfect. Inventory management is the only ding against it. "
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Favorite crossover in gaming?
704d
"I was big into Marvel Comics as a kid and teenager, and unlike today there was really a dearth of properties where you could really put yourself in the skin of some of the characters, so whether it was this or the Spider-Man and X-Men games on the SNES, I was all over them."
Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes
Favorite Horror Game
705d
"Legitimately terrifying, a great blend of combat with helplessness. "
Resident Evil VII: Biohazard
Couples Game
713d
"My wife is not a gamer at all. However, she loves spamming E. Honda's Hundred Hand Slap to beat up on me in Street Fighter 2. I bought this to try to coax her into more narrative-centric games, and it's worked so far."

"I've only been playing a few weeks, but this can wreck my carefully laid plans on turn 6. "

Game of the Year: 2013
727d
"Tough call between this and Bioshock: Infinite. Both really go to show that video games can tell deeply emotional and compelling stories, but this one might just slightly edge out the other."

"After 30 years of attempts, and liberal use of the rewind function of the Cowabunga Collection, I finally beat TMNT for the NES. "
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Would you rather: Fortnite or Mario Kart 8?
733d
"Is Fortnite 1? "
Fortnite
Does beating a game on "Easy" difficulty count as truly beating the game?
738d
"Hell yes it does. Most of the time anymore I play games for the story and gameplay, I've never been an Elden Ring/Dark Souls kind of guy where the difficulty is the attraction. "
Light mode
Was the Nintendo GameCube a failure?
745d
"No way. Maybe not as commercially successful as its rivals, but it had a solid library and was a staple in my household. "
Night mode
Avatar Sized Budget

"The story gives me all the *feels* and it really would take $1 billion just to make it and do it justice. "
Final Fantasy VII
Do you adjust the video settings as soon as you start a new game?
747d
"You bet. Gotta maximize that sweet sweet HDR. I still don't know what ray tracing is, but if reddit is any guide I NEED it. "
Day mode
Do you view Channel 3 in Light mode or Night Mode?
752d
"Night mode is the default on my computer, and I don't like change."

"Promoted on my Facebook page, hoping to see more IRL friends on here soon."
Favorite Gaming Memory of 2022
758d
"Completing the Vow of the Disciple raid within a week of it coming out and earning my first raid jacket. Yeah, people might think it's weird that I have a jacket that says "CrackityJones" on it, but one guy in Game Stop recognized it as a raid jacket. "
Destiny 2
Favorite Arcade Port to Home
767d
"Peak '90s beat-em-up and probably, nay, definitely the best TMNT game ever made. "

"My wife said we should go camping before it gets too cold, so I showed her this."
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II
How did you get into gaming?
775d
"In 1994 my alcoholic uncle bought scratch-off tickets for all of his nieces and nephews for Christmas, my brother won $100, and we used that to buy a SNES. Our parents made us do chores for weeks to save up the tax. "
I just need time!

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II
The Game Awards: Most Anticipated Game (Read Description for Nominees)
783d
"I was a big ol' scardey cat growing up, but this game made me realize that horror can be fun. I can't tell you how many times I've played through it. I'd happily buy a remake and see what they can do on the current gen of consoles."
Resident Evil 4

Favorite Reboot

"Faithful to the original, but feels like its own unique game. "
Final Fantasy VII Remake
Favorite Tekken Character

"As a kid I thought Lee was just the coolest. Immediately started basing my entire personality around him. Didn't convince my mom to let me dye my hair white though."
Lee Chaolan
1 Week review: COD MW2
815d
"Just downloaded it last night when I got my PS5. Really fun so far, but the campaign missions seem super short, like vignettes almost rather than fully fleshed out missions. Pros: Gorgeous game, controls great, fun to play. Cons: Four-hour download to play :("
Google Pac-man Doodle High score!
816d
"It disappeared before I had time to get a screenshot. Whoops. "

Music choices
816d
"Depends on the game. Something narrative or if I'm playing a campaign, no. But if I'm farming or doing something repetitive, then I'll listen to a podcast."
Best Non-Original Soundtrack
824d
"Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 (game not available on list). I logged the most hours into THPS4, especially since it had a pretty robust online mode and marked the first time I joined a clan in a game. The soundtrack still brings me back."
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2

Zero Wing
Favorite aspect of the Fallout Universe
840d
"Threeeeeeeeeeeeeee Dog! Coming at you live from post-apocalyptia!"
Recommend a fiction gaming book
841d
""Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson. Love me some Neal, and many of his books involve video games, MMOs, virtual reality and alternate reality, but Snow Crash predates most of those while still being gripping and thrilling. A cyberpunk neo noir. Probably some of the most accessible Stephenson. "
Favorite Rock Band Song
844d
"I mostly played Rock Band in the dorm room of the guy who would end up being my roommate for junior and senior years of college. As a massive fan of Pixies (still am), I would rock out to "Wave of Mutilation." "Maps" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs comes in a close second. "

Clip of the Week (S02W01)

"I am a garbage PVP player. I am typically a liability on whatever team I'm on for whatever game we're playing, but my brothers tolerate me. I'm particularly proud of this four-kill streak I recently got in Destiny."
Destiny 2
Scavenger Hunt: 2
847d
"Two adverts in an alleyway, captured while at work playing Stadia on my phone. Gonna miss playing (an admittedly super limited library of) AAA games on mobile."
Cyberpunk 2077
What game do you hope gets more love in season 2?

What is your favorite game you never finished?
898d
"As a kid, I reached a dungeon that I couldn't beat since I was under-leveled, but I couldn't leave the dungeon to power-level. I regret that to this day, but recently I found a copy at my local CD/Game Exchange, so I'm going to give it another try. "
The Legend of Dragoon
Favorite starter Pokémon
898d
"Charmander. Keeping it old-school. Recently started an new game on an OG Red cart, and would never pick a different starter. Brock and Misty be damned."
What is your favorite fighting game?
915d
"I loved playing fighting games growing up, especially the Marvel vs. Capcom or any game that brought in my favorite characters from various franchises to play in a different context, but MK11 is the first time I felt like it all came together for me and I "got" a fighting game."
