"I'm 43 today. Playing Disco Elysium for the first time and loving it. Hope you all are having a great day!"

IRL Photo

517d

"A pic of a Post-It note doodle I did that gives me 80's cyberpunk, synthwave, NES Metal Gear vibes."

How did you get your gamer tag?

517d

"Not much of a story here. I was doing what I do best: procrastinating. I'd found an app for my phone that would let me use GIFs as live wallpapers, so I was on the hunt for a really badass Batman GIF. I didn't have any lucky, but I did find a few where batman was fat and out of shape, and I thought "Hey that'd be me! Batman. But I'm not-rich, sorta round, out of breath, and generally bad at the whole gig." Next time I needed a username, I didn't even hesitate: wheezybatman"

Which Channel 3 Game?

517d

"Trivia's fun. Target's cool and all. But Enhance is frustrating, and I'm a masochist, so..."

Enhance

What Gaming Collection?

524d

"A fully remastered set of the original Splinter Cell trilogy. Skip the multiplayer. Expand the co-op. Add in some wicked achievements for more replay value. I would never leave my battle station."

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell

D-Pad or Joystick?

610d

"Banana to my head? D-pad. But I'm a sucker for a classic arcade stick layout, so... That's me. I'm decisive."

Fortnite

Sports or eSports

611d

"Ok so... I don't sportsball. Period. Not even eSports. I occasionally watch an NFL game or a soccer match, but it's rare. However, I think I prefer eSports more, in concept. The variety in game types alone makes for a higher likelihood that I'll enjoy some part of it. And eSports is more inclusive by default. ... IDK ... A game's a game but video games are always better."

Mario

Favorite Character in the Street Fighter Franchise

614d

"I was really into Wolverine and this was as close as I could get in Street Fighter. This is how I remember him though..."

Vega

Why or Why Not? The Legend of Zelda

617d

"Beyond LotR (which I only got into after the films) I've never been a fan of fantasy. I'm a sci-fi, cyberpunk kinda person. As interesting as the games seem now, the only thing that keeps me from picking them up is the daunting amount of lore to catch up on. "

Heart or Stamina?

617d

"In my experience (and lack of appreciable skill) hearts tend to plaster over my (very many) mistakes a lot better than stamina."

Heart Vessel

Which sword would you choose?

620d

"A Light Saber from any of the Jedi Games. Literally any game. Literally any sword. I've wanted a real light saber since I was 5."

Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

How many hours in Tears of the Kingdom?

621d

"I haven't played a Zelda game since the first one. I don't get the hype. But I'm also not into hard fantasy or anime, so maybe it's just outside my box."

Play a round of solitaire

622d

"Played."

What Loot?

622d

"Coffee. A beat up pair of white suede Vans. A copy of The Hike by Drew Magary. And a big ole pile of anxiety."

Fortnite Season 0 ZERO BUILD rank

Silver I

Recommend a fiction gaming book

642d

"It's not exactly a video game book but the story is a lot like a video game. It's absolutely bonkers. I read this one yearly."

Superhero Sunday

661d

Batman: Arkham Asylum

Which game has the best in-game radio stations?

663d

"Sure it's just static, but it's life saving. How can you beat that?"

Silent Hill

Bonus Quest: GIF

663d

"If you picked 2 you're part of the problem. ;)"

Fortnite

What game genre just isn't for you?

663d

"I'll try any game at least once. Even sims. HOWEVER, any games that contain flight segments of ANY kind (including GTA arcade flight controls) infuriates me. It started with Top Gun on NES, and I've hated them ever since. They're always frustrating, and never enjoyable."

Simulation

First Game with Kids

663d

"Casual crime fighting. Lego collecting. Batman. Cozy kid-friendly vibes."

Lego Batman: The Videogame

What is the first game you played with your significant other?

663d

"She doesn't play games. She absolutely destroyed me in this one. I got completely hustled."

Donkey Kong Country

What is your IRL class?

663d

"Couch troll disguised as a software engineer."

Would You Rather: Time or Games?

663d

"Pretty sure I'm already in the second state. I have adult money and bad spending habits, so my library is constantly growing. The backlog do be massive. If only I could get some more time to play them."
