sagesaria1. What was the first video game you have ever played?
- God, I don't even remember now. I used to spend a lot of time at my dad's mom's house, where my cousin on that side of the family would visit a lot, and he had a ton of Nintendo and Sega Genesis games. Often I remember trying to play them, but I either majorly sucked, or had the wrong controller ("Why can't I move? Waaah!"). But I think the first game I ever really, truly played and for some part of it played right, was Super Mario World.
2. What was your first console?
- Super Nintendo
3. Have you ever visited a video game arcade?
- Hellz yeah!
4. What was your first handheld?
- my mom's Gameboy
5. What was the first game you've beaten/cleared completely?
- Hell, I don't remember...probably Ocarina of Time or Starfox 64 lol
6. Games based off of real sports: Yay or Nay?
- nay
7. Online games: Yay or nay?
- yay!
8. Do you play any Massively Multiplayer Online RPG games? (MMORPGs?)
- I used to play Everquest.evenshadowscry recently found a free online server that I may try out, but other than that, I haven't played in about a year and a half.
9. Do you play any virtual pet games? (Neopets, Teripets, Aftermathzone, etc.)
- I used to do those little handheld digital pets, but they had like, NO battery life.
10. Puzzle games and Strategy games: Yay or Nay?
- Yay, woot, and also yahoo!
11. Do you play any RPGs?
- Yup yup yup!
12. Do you play any Platformer games?
- Not as good at them as RPGs, but they're fun :)
13. What was the first game/console/handheld of yours that stopped working?
- Probably the PS2.
Characters/Plot
14. Do you actually care if a game has a plot or do you just play games for the gameplay?
- Not so much for platformers or tetris-like or fighting games, but RPGs definitelly gotta have good plot, and plot in any of the exceptions I've mentioned are a boost :) And of course, some games lack plot but have good gameplay, and that helps too. (It took me forever to follow Dark Cloud because the gameplay was so much fun I ignored half of what was going on the first few times)
15. Name a few video game characters that are your favorites:
- Define "a few"...ummmmm....
- Jade of Beyond Good and Evil
- Saria of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
- Riku of Kingdom Hearts
- Roy of Fire Emblem/Smash Brothers Melee
16. Name a few series that are your favorites:
- Final Fantasy
- Mario Bros
- Legend of Zelda
- Super Smash Brothers
- Kirby
- Harvest Moon
- Starfox (especially 64)
17. Has a video game ever made you cry?
- Kingdom Hearts' ending was a bit of a tear-jerker, and I always bawl like a baby at the big "Suteki da Ne" scene from Final Fantasy X
18. Has a video game character annoyed you so much that you wanted him removed from the game?
- Donald in Kingdom Hearts was pretty obnoxious, but I wouldn't want to remove him; he's our wizard! Umm...I don't remember wanting to remove anybody from a game. No, not even Navi.
19. Do you "pair" or "ship" characters up with one another? (make/create/write romance involving them)
- Rarely; if it's not canon, it's not for me, with very VERY few exceptions, including FleaXMagus from Chrono Trigger and SoraXPeter Pan from Kingdom Hearts. I used to really like SoraXRiku, but I'm kinda fighting it now because most to all of the evidence of it is pretty vague. Oh yeah right, best friends don't hold hands, sure.
20. Do you write video game fanfiction?
- *pushessarias_stories account under bed with foot* *cough*
21. Do you draw video game fanart?
- I wish I could. Would being the writer in a doujinshi count? Even if someone else is drawing it?
22. Do you come up with theories on how a character came to be/what he or she would do in a situation/why he or she is moody/etc.?
- Kingdom Hearts and Beyond Good and Evil make my brain hurt XP
23. Are you a "fanboy" or "fangirl" of any character?
- Oh no, no no not at al--OMG MARTH COSPLAY SQUEEEEE~! ......ok ok yes, but too many to count.
Boss Battles/Villains
24. Hardest Boss Battle:
- Not just the boss, the whole goddamn Stonehenge level of Earthbound X.X
25. Most Frustrating Boss Battle:
- ditto
26. Most Rewarding Boss Battle:
- Rewarding? Define rewarding.
27. Funnest Boss Battle:
- The Tutan Koopa battle in Paper Mario was hilarious
28. Most Boring Boss Battle:
- since when are bosses boring?
29. Boss Battle that dragged out for a long, long time:
- The final boss of Beyond Good and Evil. My God, that guy refused to let me get a shot at him!
30. Boss Battle with the coolest music:
- Sephiroth from FF7 and Ansem from Kingdom Hearts are tied *-*
31. Most Surprising Boss Battle:
- Well, it wasn't a surprise at the time because Damien told me about it, but I fangirled out when I fought Bald Mountain in Kingdom Hearts. Best...boss...EVER!
32. What's your all time favorite villain?
- I think I'll have to go with Kingdom Hearts' Ansem, repetitive dialogue aside. Second place is Ganondorf of the Zeldas.
33. What's your all time least favorite villain?
- Dr. Eggman/Robotnic of the Sonic series.
34. Do you ever feel sorry for the villains?
- Not all the time, but I like seeing them grow or at least figuring out why they're fucked in the head. The only villain I can think of now that I feel sorry for is Sephiroth; he got seriously screwed over. I felt sorry for Riku too, but I don't count him as a villain; he fell to the darkness *swigs a beer,* but he is overall good; just easy to manipulate, the poor dear.
35. Are there any villains that seem like they should be playing for the good guys, but aren't?
- More often than not. But some deserve it. Like Ansem; I've yet to see him play anybody who could be good.
36. Most malicious villain:
- Hrm...the worst villain I could think of was the final boss of Beyond Good and Evil. I consider sucking the life out of every living thing he can get his hands on, then after killing Jade's friends, trying to control her by sending their ghosts on her pretty nasty.
37. Most surprising villain:
- Probably Seymore from FFX. I knew there was something about him, but I didn't expect him to go nuts.
Favorites
39. What's your favorite 3D game? (PS1/N64/Saturn generation)
- Ocarina of Time
40. What's your favorite arcade game?
- DDR, Paperboy, and Time Crisis
41. What's your favorite next-gen game? (Gamecube/PS2/Dreamcast/X-Box)
- I'll just pick one from each; Wind Waker/Beyond Good and Evil/Sonic Adventure/None
42. Sequels/long series: Yay or nay?
- Usually yay! Kingdom Hearts is starting to push it, but otherwise...
43. What's your favorite Online Game?
- Everquest
44. What's your favorite console?
- Just one? ;_;
45. What's your favorite handheld?
- Probably the ol' Gameboy Color. I'd normally say DS, but I lost it! Waaaaah!
46. Have you ever got yourself involved in a "console war"? (arguing that a console is better than another console)
- I avoid them; they're all great consoles and I love them all. I've yet to play XBox, but I've heard questionable reviews and none of the games really interest me, except Perfect Dark Zero, but again, questionable reviews.
47. Have you ever defended a character/game/console you liked in an argument? Which one?
- Tetra/Zelda from Wind Waker. A lot of people seemed to hate that she became Zelda. I've loved Zelda from her heavy damsel in distress days, so I'm not really complaining. Yes, her personality changed, but c'mon...the Triforce of Wisdom suddenly becoming part of you has GOTTA do something to your head.
48. Name a game that you like but everyone else seems to hate.
- can't think of anything
49. Name a character that you like but everyone else seems to hate.

54. Have you ever injured yourself at a video game? (Space Invader wrist and Mario Party 1 blister victims may answer yes)
- yes, I've gotten the Mario Party blister, I've almost sprained my wrists playing DDR (don't ask lol), I've kicked the couch behind me and hurt my heel playing DDR, and I've had some hand sores from too much gaming.
55. Has a horror/survival genre video game scared you to the point that you refused to finish the game? Did you get nightmares from said game?
- After watching five minutes of it, I'm phobic of Silent Hill (but ironically, I want to try Resident Evil). And while it's not a horror series, the end of Earthbound gave me nightmares.
56. Have you ever thrown a controller/disc/cartridge in a fit of frustration?
- controller.

I used to spend a lot of time at my dad's mom's house, where my cousin on that side of the family would visit a lot, and he had a ton of Nintendo and Sega Genesis games.
