    Favorite BOSS

    Tell me your favorite boss, out of all the bosses you've ever had to fight in any game ever. :tearsofjoy: Tall order, I know. I can't really think of a favorite boss of mine, though I thought all the bosses in Dark Cloud 2/Dark Chronicle were awesome. What are some of your favorite bosses?

    Favorite music from which game?

    I love the soundtrack for Battleblock Theater - it's really upbeat most of the time and easy to enjoy. I also really like the Silent Hill soundtrack, the ominous and eerie sounds of that OST suit the game so perfectly. I don't know that I'd listen to the Silent Hill soundtrack very much outside...

    Difficulty or Fun?

    I play for both, too, but it depends on the game. There are some games where there is absolutely no challenge at all and I still love them, and other games that are super difficult for me and I still love them. It depends on my mood too. Sometimes, I'm in the mood for a challenge, and sometimes...

    How does gaming affect your personal life?

    It's impacted my personal life in that it gives me and my friends / me and my significant other something to bond over. Other than that, it hasn't impacted my life much. I've never been the sort of person to get really addicted to video games, so I've never had to worry about it taking over my...

    Are there any games you can play over and over and never tire of?

    Me too! When I saw the title of this thread, The Sims was the first thing that came to mind. I tend to binge play it, and then I get burnt out and have to take a break, but I've certainly never thought I wouldn't ever play it again or I would be permanently tired of it. The only thing about The...

    Do you spend money on gaming gear?

    I usually just play games in bed or at my desk, haha. Buying gaming gear has never been a real priority for me, but I will say that having a nice headset makes a lot of games much easier. Honestly, I've never even heard of a gaming chair - what makes it special for gaming? Does it help with your...

    What's Your Favorite GTA Title?

    GTA Vice City for the PS2, mostly for reasons of nostalgia. I remember being younger, drinking *way* too much Dr. Pepper and playing that game all night. Good times. :tearsofjoy: San Andreas is a close second, and in terms of recommending a title to anyone who hasn't played GTA before, I'd...

    Still possible to find a GameBoy Advance?

    I have that emulator, and I love playing it, I just missed the feel of playing the GBA like I was younger, you know? There's something nostalgic about it, and like PenguinManiac said, I think it's just a generally really good device. There are also some really great emulators for the PC - I...

    Last Game Played?

    Yes! Definitely try it, if you liked Castle Crashers I have a feeling you'll really love it. Keep me updated on how you're liking it! It's very different from Castle Crashers, and a lot more puzzle-oriented from what I can tell. Though, I'll be honest, I'll need to play Castle Crashers again to...

    Favorite Game?

    Long Live The Queen is pretty casual. There's definitely strategy involved, but I don't think that casual games are necessarily synonymous with easy games at all. It's a single-player game that you can play at your own pace, and it doesn't actually take any "skill" for lack of a better word -...

    Free games vs Paid games?

    I play a healthy mix of free and paid games on my PC. There are a ton of fun, simple browser games that I'll play just to pass the time. A lot of them are really nostalgic, too - reminds me of being a kid and getting access to the computer lab in school. We'd always finish our work as fast as we...

    Favourite Game Genre

    I like single-player, simulation, casual games the most. I get super stressed out when doing more intense gaming, and though I do enjoy it from time to time, I think I'm always gonna prefer playing cozier games by myself than getting yelled at by dudes through a headset, hahaha. Part of it has...

    Vintage Systems and Prices

    From what I understand, it's harder and much more costly to purchase the games for vintage systems than it is the systems themselves. Not so much if you're only interested in getting back into bigger titles, but when it comes to more niche games, I have a feeling you'll be paying an arm and a...

    Favorite graphic software

    Paint Tool SAI for sure. I like Photoshop fine, but I'm much more familiar with SAI, and I've used it since I was first getting into digital art. At this point, the controls are pretty second nature to me, so it feels weird using anything else. I will say, my Wacom came with a trial of Autodesk...

    What kind of mouse are you using on your rig?

    I just use a $9 miniature wireless mouse from Walmart. My hands are kinda small. :sweatsmile: Seriously, though, I don't play games intensive enough to warrant a more advanced or expensive mouse. At least, I don't think I do. What advantages are there to larger gaming mice? I figure they're...

    How many games do you own?

    I have 64 in my Steam library, but I think I've accumulated at least 80 including non-Steam games. I honestly don't play all of that often. What tends to happen is, I'll "rediscover" a game I bought a long time ago and binge play it for days until I get bored and move onto the next game. I also...

    Last Game Played?

    Battleblock Theater! I'm super late to the party, but I got it during the Steam Summer Sale and it's so cute and fun. I also got Castle Crashers, and I've played that a little bit, but I definitely don't like it as much as I like Battleblock Theater. I've also been playing Terraria recently...

    Who's your favorite player in this game? Name your favorite part in this game?

    I don't think this game is dead. It may not be as popular as it once was, but there are tons of people still playing it and organizing communities around it. My favorite part of the game is always just starting out. I really love how, in Terraria and games like it, you can create a fresh, new...

    Do you ever record your gaming?

    I haven't, but I would be open to it. I wouldn't want to record myself playing some kind of competitive multiplayer game, personally. I think I'd just embarrass myself, it's not really what I'm good at. If I were good at it, I probably would. I think it would be fun to record silent walkthroughs...

    Still possible to find a GameBoy Advance?

    This makes me SO happy! I'm gonna start Game Boy Advance hunting this weekend, then. Thank you so much for the tip about bundles, too, I hadn't thought of that! I'll definitely try to buy games in lots/bundles if I can find them. Also, I had no clue that the GBA SP chargers were the same as the...
