""let's goo" to the max possible and off the scale. Right, let's talk about the people who are deliberately cynical in order to exploit capitalistic value systems such as, let's deliberately be controversial and say oh look everyone's hype for a new Mario Kart game it had no disclaimer that it was a tech demo, it had no disclaimer saying it wasn't a game.. it's been 11 years since the last MK, it's their biggest selling game on the platform, 60 million sales.. it is the backbone main offering by Nintendo, it's a life companion game not just a game , there's pick up n play, put down.. always there whenever you have spare time. everyone's happy about this new game, let's deliberately sit there and assert that they are wrong and it's not a new game and it's a tech demo oh sucks to be you, I'm special what I'm saying is absolute fact. and I'm saying no, they wouldn't allow us to be able to get misled into believing it was a new Mario Kart game if it wasn't, that would cause a major major huge backlash that we've never seen and no company would ever make that mistake, surely not. so I have a strong feeling that you're exploiting people's emotions being a contrarian oh look at me I'm special. let's deliberately piss on everyones chips how dare they be happy. :) no it isn't a tech demo. YOU are WRONG. and I won't LET YOU sit there and do this to people. "

"I believe you think you're doing the correct thing in this game but, you're actually an anti-hero so I feel like this counts. "

Ideal AAA Playtime

15d

"A 20 to 30 maybe a bit more hours expectation for a main AAA game, but I expect these to have side quests, extra end game content and or be life companion games like Mario Kart, Splatoon, Smash..pick up and play constantly replayability. Whereas for me, Mario Odyssey although AAA, doesn't have much replayability. "

What is the most recent game you finished?

19d

"Love this game. memorable map, music. lovable characters. interesting level areas and significant places, also the ticket system to do with meals/hearts/level up/magic. then the Mysterious lake fish. the lore/mysticism in this game. also the unique Jump + Down = Bounce kill with shovel attack. the music again, colour scheme. the game has nostalgia connected to being a call-back to retro games so it's new/modern but call back to retro games being inspired from 80s/90s. It feels like the kid in me (the 10 year old me still inside me) would have loved this game if it was around back then."

Shovel Knight

Beverage of choice while gaming

"Tea, Coffee, Drinking chocolate, cocoa, water, cola/lemonade/shloer/cider.. it varies. I don't drink energy drinks, but I've tried PRIME and Rockstar a few times. I did have that episode with Mountain Dew a few months ago on C3. xD"

Pick Your Favorite Original Pokémon

19d

"Pikachu or Porygon, Stramie.. a few others. My favourite setup now includes the Porygon line. Shuckle + Porygon-Z (PorygonZ: Psychic, Tri-Attack, Conversion, Rest or Recover. Modest nature, Leftovers item) he gets STAB bonus if you use Conversion to change his type to Psychic. Modest because it increases his Special attack so thus it increases the damage via Psychic + STAB. then if you don't need it, Conversion back to Normal. "

"Historically, I have had this "ugh" feeling about sports, also football games in particular, I always hated doing Football at school and I don't care about football on TV either too much, I like England to do well but I don't follow it really. However, horse-racing games.. Sports-Simulator games or management games linked with sports are really good. "

Introvert vs Extrovert

20d

"Anxiety/Social Anxiety/Stress/Depression/ Diagnosed asperger syndrome. would always look at the ground and ignore people if they spoke to me, too scared to talk etc. has gotten better with age but still a bit of an issue, also conflict with the internet deciding on people's behalf strangers such as they "probably have bad politics" so prejudice is a problem and no matter what you say it's hard to get on the right side of people. whatever.

Oh wait, I like this now!

"I was a Sonic fan since 1994, playing the 2D games, my friend was trying to show me SA1, SA2, Sonic Heroes. and I had such a hard time accepting that Sonic was in 3D that I rejected it for about a year, then one evening I fought really hard to play some Sonic Heroes,then back to SA1, SA2. I spent all Summer 2003 raising a Chao - Bubbles, Dark Blue. Level 99 on all Stats. Did not resurrect. RIP Bubbles: 2003 - 2003. so I suppose my answer here is "transition from 2D to 3D Sonic" "

"A Star: Like a Bullet Bill...but you have complete control (although slippery) over your route. You can avoid hits & damage, hit other Racers....it is both offensive and defensive. Unlike the bullet bill it is reliable for shortcuts where a bullet forces your sometimes slower route. "
