Favorite _____ Game

Post by **D-Rock** » Thu Oct 08, 2015 1:07 am

Either Shadow Kanji or Shadow Mitsuo, both in Persona 4; the former was a massive stereotype, though, but it was kind of funny seeing the reactions of the team at his fight, and the latter was an interesting bit of symbolism. It appeared like an 8-bit character, and when he attacked, the screen and effects were reminiscent of the original Megami Tensei games, then when damaged enough, it became a dark baby, showing that Mitsuo always wore a shell to hide himself. Remake even included an 8-bit remix of the boss theme.

Favorite cartoon as a kid?

As a short red-headed nerd (and still proud of it), Dexter's Laboratory, obviously.

Favorite animated movie?

Buster · Post by **Buster** » Thu Oct 08, 2015 1:59 am

Samurai pizza cats.

Unfortunately unlike other shows of it's era there's no hope of a revival, sequel, or adaptation. ever. for the simple reason that modern media watchdogs would never allow a character named Guido in a children's show (either it didn't have racial connotations yet in the late 80s, or the writers thought the pun his full name makes was worth the ruffled feathers), and the fans would never accept one of the three main characters being replaced...

Favorite abandoned series?

ShadowLightning · Post by **ShadowLightning** » Thu Oct 08, 2015 8:33 am

Dead Fantasy. Well, it's not officially abandoned, but with Monty Oum... you know, I doubt anyone will finish it.

Favorite morally ambiguous video game character?

Post by **D-Rock** » Thu Oct 08, 2015 5:28 pm

I almost said the Strange Journey protagonist, but his morality is based on the players decisions, so I'll go with Kratos. His mission was started to avenge the family he was tricked into killing. It's said that he loved them dearly, but he lets his rage consume him, eventually to the point of not caring if the world is destroyed and innocents die in his quest, with very few exceptions.

Favorite movie that you're sure no one else has heard of?

Buster · Post by **Buster** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 3:45 am

I'm pretty sure Soul Assasin is the most obscure thing in my collection. so, that or nothing.

Favorite equally obscure handheld game? no computer, console, or mobile games, handheld systems only for this one.

Saturn381 · Post by **Saturn381** » Mon Oct 19, 2015 3:59 pm

I can't think of one.

Favorite pizza topping?

Punchy · Post by **Punchy** » Thu Oct 22, 2015 5:17 am

Red onions

Favourite sport and/or sports team?

Post by **Render** » Thu Oct 22, 2015 10:13 am

hmmm... Snooker.
Team? None... But maybe any team that plays soccer against Bayern Munich. But I barely watch any sport...

Favourite plane?

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Thu Oct 22, 2015 10:34 am

Oh, so many to choose from! The first ones to come to mind are the Vought VE-7 Bluebird and the Belite Skydock.

Favorite branch of the military?

Post by **D-Rock** » Mon Oct 26, 2015 9:58 pm

Not a military man, so don't have one.

Favorite cartoon that is older than you?

Buster · Post by **Buster** » Fri Oct 30, 2015 12:55 am

Older than me as in was on air before I was born, or older as in has been on air more than 29+ years total?
for the former, "Robotech: The Macross Saga" is the only one I'm familiar with that I'm certain predates the mid 80s. and even then I only remember half an episode at this point.

Possibly transformers? I started with the beast era though, which is 90s. Does that still count?

for the latter... uh... again, possibly transformers, but theres a 5 year hiatus between G2 and BeastWars that might disqualify it...

.

eh, whatever.
a series (in any medium or format) from 1995 or earlier, which you really like, that has not withstood the test of time.

Post by **D-Rock** » Fri Oct 30, 2015 1:58 am

Yeah, I meant the former.

And to answer your question, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.

Hear me out.

I was born just a year before it aired, but I caught up on the series through reruns and tapes we owned. I loved every minute of it. My brother and I have not had our love of the series diminish over the years.

But despite it being a big part of our lives, despite the major part of our memories the series holds in us, it really didn't age well. I realized this when we sat down and watched through the original series again about a year ago. Acting was always fluctuating between good and bad, dialogue was weird in a lot of ways, way too many things were too convenient, Jason didn't seem to have a concept of an indoor voice when morphed, a few of the fight scenes weren't too interesting, and quite a few edits were rather lazy (I mean, come on, you couldn't shoot two seconds worth of footage of Tommy rising from a table and resorted to Burai stock footage when immediately after that we see Tommy on said table?!). I know that I'm being a bit harsh on it, considering that the company was likely learning as they went and the limited budget they had, but it's not the best installment on the series. What we can still appreciate is how much we loved it and how much of a legacy in carries now. If it weren't for Saban trying to adapt a Sentai series after his first attempt at it failed (from what I read, Bioman was the first he considered to adapt but plans fell through, eventually leading him to try again with Zyuranger), we most likely would never have come to appreciate it.

I guess it's like looking at the first thing you drew; it's probably not great, likely doesn't hold a candle to what you can do now, but it's what started you on the path you're on now, and for that, you can have a sense of pride.

...I almost forgot why I was writing this in the first place.

So, favorite song from the 80s? Even I have a few, and I was born in '92.

Saturn381 · Post by **Saturn381** » Fri Oct 30, 2015 3:04 am

There's so many to choose from, but if I had to pick one, it would be Harden my Heart by Quarterterflash.

Favorite animated Disney film.

TurtleCopter · Post by **TurtleCopter** » Fri Oct 30, 2015 3:44 am

It's a fight between Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Wreck-it Ralph because they're both an homage to things I like: Vintage Cartoons and Video Games, respectively. If I had to choose 1 though, it'd be WFRR.

Favorite YouTube channel.

ShadowLightning · Post by **ShadowLightning** » Sun Nov 01, 2015 9:09 am

At the moment, whoisthisgit.

Favorite video game villain.

JonnyNova · Post by **JonnyNova** » Sun Nov 01, 2015 10:29 pm

That's a really tough question, but either Flowey from Undertale, or oliphants from Xenoblade. Both are really interesting and complex characters, and both are part of incredible plot twists in their respective games.

Edit: Apparently I'm not able to type that second character's name on these forums for some reason. I don't want to say anything more about the character as to not spoil who they are, since it is a fairly big plot twist. If you've played the game, you might know who I'm talking about anyway.

Favourite video game soundtrack?

kurowolfe · Post by **kurowolfe** » Mon Nov 02, 2015 11:26 am

Gee.... I love video game music in genera,l and it's hard to pinpoint to just one.

I'd say almost all songs from the Touhou universe, and EXEC_RIG=VEDA/. from the Ar Tonelico games. I'd link it, but the picture used is questionable.

Favourite non-Nintendo game?

Post by **Render** » Mon Nov 02, 2015 1:45 pm

Minecraft, Banished, Civilization IV, Anno1602
BTW: Banished has a great soundtrack, and the soundtrack of Monkey Island is the best I think.

Favourite thing in the room you reach when you go through two doors?
(And what room is it in?)

JonnyNova · Post by **JonnyNova** » Mon Nov 02, 2015 4:00 pm

My guitar (a Zakk Wylde Les Paul Custom), in my bedroom.

Favourite Fantasy Novel.

Crux · Post by **Crux** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 4:49 am

The Sight by David Clement-Davies

Favorite cold, non-fizzy, non-alcoholic drink?

Trey · Post by **Trey** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 10:46 pm

Wendy's strawberry lemonade...Jesus I'd go there just for the drink and return for seconds!

Favorite Super Smash character?

Post by **D-Rock** » Tue Nov 17, 2015 12:36 am

Ike. All that raw power, man. It was for that reason that I used Roy in Melee. Saddened that he didn't get into Brawl, but Ike more than replaced his place. Even after Project M and Smash 4 brought him back, I mainly use Ike.

Favorite animated cartoon?

kurowolfe · Post by **kurowolfe** » Tue Nov 17, 2015 5:19 pm

Hmm.... I'd have to say Tom and Jerry and Doraemon. These two have been my favs since I was a toddler.

Your favourite two-colour combination?

The Blue Fox · Post by **The Blue Fox** » Tue Nov 17, 2015 5:54 pm

Blue and purple. Trust me, I've seen some gorgeous desktop wallpapers using that colour combo.

Favorite...piece of art you've seen?

Trey · Post by **Trey** » Tue Nov 17, 2015 7:15 pm

It's so hard to choose so I just had to choose one from my recent favs on FA, it would be this piece!
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17335458/ I do have a sweet spot for the Zinogre lol

Favorite music genre?

kurowolfe · Post by **kurowolfe** » Tue Nov 17, 2015 7:41 pm

Oldies, classical, jazz and game music. Though I appreciate almost all genres of music.

Favourite breakfast?

Saturn381 · Post by **Saturn381** » Wed Nov 18, 2015 12:48 am

French toast.

Favorite ice cream flavor?

Post by **D-Rock** » Wed Nov 18, 2015 1:54 am

Buttered pecan, easy.

Favorite salad dressing?

kurowolfe · Post by **kurowolfe** » Fri Nov 20, 2015 1:04 pm

None, I like to eat my salad raw with nothing. But if I'm forced to, then I'd pick ranch.

Favourite scent?

The Blue Fox · Post by **The Blue Fox** » Sat Nov 21, 2015 1:13 pm

Lavander. It's so sweet smelling.

Favorite...video game?

Furryface18 · Post by **Furryface18** » Sat Nov 21, 2015 9:56 pm

Super smash bros.

Favorite genre of music?

JonnyNova · Post by **JonnyNova** » Mon Nov 23, 2015 9:21 pm

I know just saying "rock" is pretty vague, but my music tastes are so diverse, that's probably the best word for it.

Favourite webcomic other than Housepets?

GreatKitsune · Post by **GreatKitsune** » Mon Nov 23, 2015 10:29 pm

Ballerina Mafia, maybe.

Favorite seinen or dark shonen.

SuperStar · Post by **SuperStar** » Mon Nov 23, 2015 11:04 pm

Apparently Concrete Revolutio is Seinin, so I guess that.

Favorite one cour long mecha series?

CosmicCoyote · Post by **CosmicCoyote** » Mon Nov 23, 2015 11:24 pm

Mobile Suit Gundam: 08th MS Team

Favorite sci-fi series?

SuperStar · Post by **SuperStar** » Mon Nov 23, 2015 11:40 pm

(Actually, cour refers to a roughly 3-month run, it doesn't necessarily mean 12-13 episodes.)
Anyway, my fave sci-fi is Dragon Ball Z. Yes, apparently it counts,

Favorite space opera?

CosmicCoyote · Post by **CosmicCoyote** » Mon Nov 23, 2015 11:51 pm

Oh right, 08th MS Team was technically an OVA. Well, whatever.

It's hard not to say Star Wars, but I'll give a shout out to Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

Favorite movie soundtrack?

GreatKitsune · Post by **GreatKitsune** » Tue Nov 24, 2015 12:42 pm

Death Note Rewrite.

Favorite antihero cliche?

Post by **D-Rock** » Tue Nov 24, 2015 10:26 pm

"I have the power to aid a team, but I must use it by myself."

...assuming that they're still doing it for a somewhat noble cause, like Eric in Power Rangers: Time Force.

...Favorite sixth/extra ranger and why?
