The Gamer Quiz

1. My favorite genre of game:
RPGs and FPS

2. My favorite game/games:
Favorite game of all time is Legend of Legaia, currently going through a Bioshock/Dead Rising phase.

3. My hated game/games:
Dunno, hard to say. Probably any Spyro/Crash Bandicoot game after the third installment in each series. Those games used to be so good. ;_; I grew up on them! I hear the latest Spyro games are pretty good, a hearkening back to olden times, but I haven’t had the chance to play ‘em.

4. My favorite enemies (minion enemies):
The splicers from Bioshock. They all speak perfect English, yet are hideous mutants, so it’s really cool to just sit there and listen to them moan and monologue from the safety of a crawlspace. Most of them gabble at you mindlessly about nonsense, but sometimes you’ve got the coherent ones who are like “We can see you hiding there, you fool!” or “He’s got a gun! He’s got a gun!” They used to be normal people, and a lot of that is reflected in their dialogue. That guy singing about Jesus? He’s gonna try to kill you. The woman cooing to her (dead) baby over there? Also gonna kill you.

And, well, zombies. What else is there to say about zombies? They’re mindless, ravenous eating machines, but somehow (outside of fantasy settings where the PCs h4x) they always win. The thing about zombies is that people almost seem to work themselves too hard to beat them. It’s like trying to box a brick wall. You’ll see the most clever, powerful character, and they’ll have some awesome plan, but eventually the zombies get to them. Eventually, the zombies get to all of them. They come in the millions, they don’t feel pain or fear or sorrow, and they never stop coming. Gotta love zombies.

5. My most hated least liked enemies (minion enemies):
Any enemy in any game that uses OHKO attacks like Death. Notice how whenever you try them, they never work, but when the enemy uses them, they always do?

6. My favorite enemies (bosses):
Andrew Ryan/Frank Fontaine (Bioshock), Carlito (Dead Rising), Cort (Legaia), Dr. Cid/Vayne (FF12), Sephiroth (FF7), Remedi (Final Fantasy Tactics Advance), Ashnard (Fire Emblem 9), Nightmare (Soul Calibur), Ganondorf (Zelda), Cobra Unit (MGS3: Snake Eater), Albert Wesker (Resident Evil)

7. My most hated enemies (bosses):
Che Delilas. Sometimes, when I close my eyes, I still see a giant hammer pounding Gala into the dust. My nights are plagued with dreams about giant brown men in sleeveless shirts screaming at me in guttural Japanese. This man alone kept me from beating Legaia for roughly a year (I was not a very good gamer). Instead of strategizing and figuring out what was wrong with my playing (turns out all I had to do was use Spirit), I kept making new files in the belief that I wasn’t high-leveled enough. Let’s use that brick wall analogy. I consider beating Che Delilas the highlight of my life.

8. Most loved good-characters:
Frank West (Dead Rising), Gaza (Legaia) (he counts dammit), Balthier (FF12), Marche/Montblanc (FFTA), Siegfried (Soul Calibur), Big Boss/Snake (Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater), STARS (Resident Evil)

9. Most hated good-characters:
Eirika (FE8). I just find her incredibly boring. :/ Ephraim’s better, but not by much. They could have made him a lot more interesting.

10. Most memorable game:
Legaia. Always and forever.

11. Least memorable game:
I remember I was super addicted to some weird racing game on the PS1 when I was like, 7. It was pretty much the first video game I ever played. I don’t remember what it was called, though, so there you go.

12. Favorite segment of game (a gun battle, for instance):
Overtime mode in Dead Rising. It’s so cool. Throughout the entire game and its multiple playthroughs (it’s almost impossible to beat the game without saving your status and going back to the beginning at least once, which sounds lame but actually works), the clock has been your enemy. Noon of Day 3 is the goal- it’s what you’ve worked for, fought for, tried to survive for.

Then, your helicopter gets pwnt.

Welcome to Day 4, baby. The game keeps going further than you expected, and it’s really cool when you realize how much it has affected you. All the zombies are killed by the Special Forces (at first) and the mall you’ve ran, bled, and died across is suddenly eerily calm. Seeing these empty halls when you’re so used to them being swarming with the undead… it’s such a foreign feeling.

13. Least favorite segment of a game:
Finding the Triforce fragments in Wind Waker. Really boring, little combat involved, very tedious. Blech.

14. Most loved storyline:
Bioshock. The story of the game itself is okay enough (welcome to underwater city, you go here, fetch this, OMG PLOT TWIST WTF, okay now go here, kill this, etc.) but it’s the audio diaries that really make it. You can see the downfall of this magical underwater city, straight from the voices of its inhabitants.

15. Favorite secret/easter egg/cheat:
Justin Bailey.

16. How many games you've think you've played in your life:
Not a whole lot, but many? Dunno.

17. How many games you (think) you own:
Maybe… 35?

18. Favorite weapon:
Soul Edge/Calibur.

19. Favorite spell/power:
The plasmids from Bioshock. Turns out your left arm can be a lot of weapons when you pump it full of crazy awesome genetic material. Flamethrower, ice blaster, telekinesis, hypnotism… The list goes on.

20. Hardest boss you've ever beaten:
Xain, Che Delilas, Night Terror, Zodiark.

21. Easiest boss you've ever beaten:
Rogue from Legaia. Sits still and does nothing every other turn, allowing you to Spirit without fail? GG, Rogue. GG.

22. Favorite system:
PS2/Wii/360.

23. Favorite gaming controller:
360. I like the Wii and everything, but the 360 controller is just right for some reason.

24. Best level design:
Bioshock. Dead underwater 60’s city? How do you top that?

25. Console or PC?
Console, my PC can’t really run games.

26. Scariest moment in gaming:
Tired of Bioshock yet? But seriously, there’s a part where you step into a room, and suddenly all the lights go out. You can’t see shit.

Something sniggers.

Needless to say, it doesn’t end well for you.

27. Most suspenseful moment in gaming:
Bringing down the Tunnel Worm in Umbrella Chronicles. Holy shit that was intense. I’d already lost to him once, and his high health made the battle drag on forever. My own health was almost gone, and I did not want to fight him again. I’m at like 1 HP, his own health is almost done, I’m standing straight up and firing my Wii controller like a madman. He lunges for me, and it’s do-or-die: whoever gets hit first is going down. I managed to pull it off by a fraction of a second. When I sat back down, I realized I’d seen my life flash before my eyes, and it was like watching a German porn film. This beast made me fear death again.
