    What is your favorite horror game?

    That's what I loved the most about Amnesia. Despite the whole setting, it's still pretty darn realistic in that department: if you found yourself in that situation, you coulnd't fight back. You'd run around frightened and lost. Really digged the atmosphere, and definitely my favourite. Outlast...

    If you could live in any game...

    Pokémon, hands down. Not a single care in the world, you just run around exploring places with your favourite pals. It looks like such a carefree and friendly world to live in. Unless you end up as one of the random NPCs you meet in the very first routes: that...would be pretty depressing, yeah...

    Light or Dark Themes ?

    Dark themes are easier on the eyes, but light ones can be way more lively if well made. I've preferred the former for quite a long time, but I've recently started to notice how much more memorable the latter have been for me. It must also be the fact that the range of colors you get with light...

    How do you choose your games?

    Games with vibrant colors tend to steer away from white and black as much as possible (e.g. Wind Waker), but they could have blent them with darker shades to achieve that effect, yeah. Okami did this quite wonderfully, I'd say, and I'm not even considering the thick black borders. The ending is...

    Free Games

    Aside from all the giveaways, I'd say that AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake) and Ib were both really good games. AM2R is straight up amazing, its quality is stunning for a fan-made project; Ib is a sort of horror/adventure game, somewhat similar to Yume Nikki, but with a nice plot, enjoyable...

    Jailbreaking your console

    In terms of popularity, I think it's a close call between the PSX and the PS2. Literally everyone I knew jailbroke their PSX, whereas it became a little less common with the PS2, but it changed from area to area. Jailbreak didn't have much use in the old days besides piracy, so...I can't say I...

    Do you rather play alone? Or with friends?

    Oh, that sounds like a really neat activity/escape. I'm terrible at drawing, but I imagine people randomly asking portaits must be like those who say: "Oh, you know *insert random language*? Tell me something!", haha. No way you can be friends with everyone, yeah. I do have a few close friends...

    What was your highest ranked reached in any one game?

    I...think I got fourth in my local server in agar.io once. Just for a few minutes, though, I lost shortly after. Most exciting run ever. I'm pretty bad at online games, yeah. I'm not competitive enough to care about it, nor dedicated enough to actually apply myself to improve sufficiently. I...

    Do you rather play alone? Or with friends?

    I guess I'm more of a loner, so the latter is much more frequent than the former for me, but I still agree. There's time for both and you need to reach a healthy balance: I can't stand being in company of other people all the time, but being by myself all week long will drive me mad on the long...

    How do you choose your games?

    Yeah, you really can't compare the two. However, I'm not sure a realistic environment would have suited Firewatch much. From what I've seen (even from promotion art), a lot of the game's outer charm comes from the color palette: orange, blue and green all blend together to make up magnificent...

    Fallout 3 player beats the game in less than 15 minutes

    I somewhat disagree. I also play games for the experience, and rushing through them in normal circumstances takes away a lot of the fun: after all, videogames are not chores. However, speedrunners have most likely played the game hundreds of time. They have turned it inside out to find the most...

    At what age did you get your first console/PC?

    Typical example of videogame logic, lol. I mean, even in the first games you could gulp down medical herbs like it was salad to heal yourself back to green health. Still, that's my first time hearing about this battle, and...fighting in a garage with a car in it doesn't sound all that comfortable.

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

    Totally agree. I'm not one to replay games very often, to be fair, with just a few exceptions, because I'm afraid that I'll eventually grow tired of them. That's not the case with games with randomly generated levels, especially with The Binding of Isaac. It's fun and unexpected, and it requires...

    Do you rather play alone? Or with friends?

    Haha, I feel ya. Sometimes it's nice to play games together to fill some empty timespans or as an excuse to spend an evening together, but if playing is all we do I can't fully enjoy neither the game nor the time spent together. Board games are somewhat different, you can take your time and you...

    At what age did you get your first console/PC?

    No motion sickness, right, but sure as hell I got knots in the stomach running in fear from a room to the other, bumping onto every wall...yeah, maybe it's truly for the best they went with standard camera controls. About the dizziness, though, I know you have probably already tried all this...

    Do you rather play alone? Or with friends?

    Alone, alone and strictly alone. I can't seem to immerse myself quite enough when I'm playing with other people around, I just can't take them seriously enough. You start to point things out and laugh about them, and you stop and giggle at every mistake instead of getting right back up to try...

    Renting games before buying?

    I don't have any places that rent games nearby anymore, but even then I never did that. Making a final decision makes me more determined to play a game until I finish it, and I also like the idea of being able to come back to it any time I want later. I guess nowadays the equivalent is Steam's 2...

    What's a game you'd like to see remade?

    I didn't realize how much I wanted a MediEvil remake until I saw this: The Resurrected edition on the PSP was good enough, but it wasn't a significant jump from the PSX experience. There's a lot of potential in its whole setting and the combination of humorous and eerie, it's a shame to see...

    How to Get Free Android App's

    I'm...not sure how legal that is. I know some apps' prices are simply a rip-off, but that doesn't exactly make piracy admissible. Both the Playstore and App Store have dozens of free games, try to support small developers if you can. If you want to get some Play Store credit to buy games with...

    Favourite All Time Game

    ...Ouch, tough question. I find it hard to pick a favourite game because I always find my mind flooded by good memories, often seen through the filter of nostalgia, and it's hard to pick the game that made me feel the best; and, of course, that has to be counterbalanced by the enjoyment I took...
