Video game meme.
Meme stolen from samuraiter and lensterknight.
LJ-cut because it's long.
1) What was your FIRST video game console?
If you're meaning "first video game console I owned", then it's a Sega Megadrive.
If you're meaning "first video game console I played", it was a Sega Master System (I played an Asterix game on it at a shopping mall).
But for the sake of the second answer, I'll suppose you meant "owned".
2) Name a few games you played on said console.
Oh boy, the Megadrive is my favourite console, and I have a so huge collection of games on it. For example, Aladdin, Jurassic Park, all 7 Megadrive Sonic games, all 4 Megadrive Mortal Kombat games, Shinobi 3, Rock 'n' Roll Racing, Road Rash 2, Streets of Rage 2, Dune : Battle for Arrakis, Toy Story, Micro Machines '96, Sparkster, Sunset Riders, the 2 Super Monaco GP games, Wimbledon, Ultimate Soccer, all 3 Megadrive Strike (Desert, Jungle, Urban) games, Flashback, Terminator 2 Arcade Game, Thunder Force 4, Vectorman... Shall I continue ? :p
3) Excluding handhelds, how many VG consoles do you own presently?
Excluding handhelds, I have I currently have 4 of them (Megadrive, Playstation 1, Playstation 2, GameCube). All of them are PAL consoles save for the PS2, which is a JPN version. And all are working fine. :p
4) Were you a Street Fighter nut? Any character in particular?
No, I was more of a Mortal Kombat fan back then. That being said, I bought later a copy of Street Fighter 2' for my Megadrive collection, but I don't play it as much as other games on this console.
As for characters, I'd say Blanka and Dhalsim.
5) Do you think Capcom is a F---ING awesome company with kickass character designs?
No, I think that title should go to Konami.
But Capcom do have some awesome games indeed, and not only on fighter-type games like the meme creator seems fond of, seeing the questions - the Ace Attorney and original Mega Man series are great examples of this.
6) Here's the scenario.. You had some friends over and you all ate FRIED CHICKEN! After the meal you all decide to play some video games. As your friend reaches for a controller you notice his/her hands are very "greasy." Are you the type that would insist they wash their hands before pawing the controller, or is it no big deal?
Of course I would insist ! Using a controller with greasy hands is just gross !
7) What's your favorite RPG/Action RPG?
Traditional RPG wise : Star Ocean : The Second Story, without hesitation.
Tactical RPG wise : Fire Emblem : Seisen no Keifu, again without hesitation.
8) Do you prefer 2D games or 3D games?
2D games BY FAR.
9) Are you an SNK fan?
Nope. But they have some good games.
10) Are you good at DDR?
No, not really.
11) Who wants to kick that dog's ass from Duck Hunt?
Never played it, and even if I did, the Virtua Cop, Time Crisis, and House of the Dead series are so much better.
12) Have you skipped out on important events in life because of video games?
As far as I remember, no.
13) Do you listen to video game music?
Hell yes. I'd even say I like listening them more than sung songs, and when I actually do listen to songs, they generally come from video games.
14) Have you ever cosplayed a VG character?
No fucking way in hell I'll ever cosplay. That's just retarded IMO.
15) Have you ever been in an arcade playing a fighting game, KICKING ASS, and then some 6 year old Asian kid comes in and OWNS YOU??
The only opportunities I ever had to play arcades were at the annual carnival of my town, since there's no arcade center there ; and since in the carnival arcades there's the custom of waiting for the current player of a machine to finish his/her game before playing it, no, that case never occured for me.
16) Name three games you would love to see remakes of if it was done properly.
Hmmm... Aside from a proper remake of Tokimeki Memorial : Forever with you (and not that garbage straight port they released on PSP two years ago), I can't think of any.
17) Mario or Sonic?
Sonic. Sega may have screwed the Sonic franchise now, but it will still remain fondly in my heart. Remember, I was and still am a Sega fan by heart.
18) When a movie shows up in the theaters, let's use Spider-man as an example, are you likely to buy the GAME version?
NO. Movies games are nearly always stinky garbage quick cash-in schemes. And I can't believe there's still people falling for that trap and buying them. -_-
19) What is your LEAST favorite genre of video games? (ex. fighting, sports, shooters, etc.)
Traditional and Action RPGs. Only a rare select few games in that genre have found grace in my eyes (Star Ocean 2, the Mother saga, Lunar 1 and 2).
I'm not much of a sports games fan either. The only sub-genre I really like in there are racing games.
20) Is there a game out there that you feel was unique and didn't get enough love?
HELL YES, THERE IS ONE. The Tokimeki Memorial series, of course ! It's such a shame it doesn't get the love it deserves from the Occidental gamers. T_T
21) Have you ever verbally abused a game because you couldn't beat one of the levels and/or bosses?
Yes, that occurs often.
22) Do you own any VG apparel?
No, not a single one.
23) What are your thoughts on the live-action Super Mario Bros movie?
Never watched it.
24) On that note, what did you think about the live-action Street Fighter movie?
Absolutely ridiculous. A shame of a movie.
25) Who's hottest out of the KOF chicks?
Meh, I'm not a KOF player. But since Mai is too provocative to my eyes and King and Blue Mary aren't my type, it comes down to Yuri or Althena. I'd say Yuri in the end.
26) Do you say "old-school" a lot when you're having a VG conversation with others?
No, not really.
27) Have you ever lent someone a game and they returned it to you damaged?
No, that didn't occur with games. But long ago, I had an issue with a video game magazine, though : I lent it to a school comrade so he could check the tips
inside, and a few days later, when he should have given it back to me, he comes saying he lost it. I was pissed off as I didn't believed him (and still don't) and that magazine had a lot of walkthroughs for several Megadrive games I own.
28) Do you own any imported games?
Yes. Before going to Japan for my study trip, I got 7 Japanese imported games.
And now that I'm in Japan, I got 16 more games. And the number will very probably rise in the near future.
29) In this scenario, let's pretend you're going to get a video game tattoo! What would you get and where?
No freakin' way in hell I'll ever get a tatoo to start with.
30) Have you ever cried after you beat a game? If so why?
As far as I remember, no.
