    Is everyone a gamer?

    I consider gamer to be the equivalent of enthusiasts of other hobbies: book worm, gear head, film buff. So to me, just because one plays games, or even one game, they don't necessarily fit the definition. I read books from time to time, take care of my vehicle, and enjoy movies, but I'm not a...

    Do you view the player-character as "you"?

    No, not even when I make a male character. I'm able to immerse myself in games, but I'm always aware that whoever is on the screen is simply a character in that world that I'm controlling. I prefer to think of them as their own individual with their own story, not me.

    Local food you would miss if you moved away

    Sadly, I'm actually going to have to deal with this in about a month and a half. I live in southern Mississippi, about an hour away from New Orleans, and moving to Washington state. Here's the delicious concoctions I'm going to miss dearly. -Po Boys -Crawfish -Red beans and rice...

    Where do you get your anime?

    My main source nowadays is Netflix, with some casual viewing of Toonami whenever I'm home at the time it's on.

    Poll: Anime - Dub or sub?

    I like both, but I tend to watch dubs if the option is available. I just prefer having not to read at the same time as trying to take the show in visually. Plus I tend to enjoy the voices except for a few types.

    Anyone avoiding Amiibos

    I'm not trying to get every single one. I'm just getting all the Zelda ones and grabbing rare ones when the opportunity arises. They're actually pretty fun to use. My friends and I had a party a week after Smash launched where I brought my Link amiibo and the phrase of the night was, "guys...

    Can you Play Musical instruments ?

    Started playing Alto Saxophone in 2002 and I've kept it up thanks to marching band in high school and college, as well as playing it in a band with my friends to this day. I also played Bari Sax in my high school's jazz band, but it's been a couple of years since I've played one since I can't...

    Are there any topics that you believe are off-limits for jokes?

    I don't believe in a general "line" that can't be crossed. Instead, there are billions of lines because it's subjective for each person. Personally, it takes a lot for me to be offended, and I'm of the opinion that any topic has the potential to be humorous if done correctly. The context of...

    Gamer identity: what is a "gamer"?

    I'd say it's someone for who video games are a regular hobby. I consider it the equivalent of book worms, cinephiles, gearheads, and the like.

    Poll: Do you believe the Friend Zone exists?

    Well, I was in a relationship for five years until she recently broke up with me and gave me the whole, "I want us to still be friends," line. So yep, I have experienced it.

    Nintendo Will Officially Sponsor The Next EVO Fighting Tournament

    I'm glad to see that Nintendo is making more progressive decisions that line up with the times. Their previous decisions were pretty back-asswards, but better late than never. Hope they keep it up. Well, considering there will be a competitive focused "For Glory" online mode in the next...

    Poll: You will never be as happy in life as you are when in a relationship

    I'm definitely not the right person to answer this question, but right now, yeah, I'd say yes to that. Honestly, it might be because of my present circumstances. About a month ago, 3 days before our five year anniversary, my girlfriend broke up with me out of the blue. Seriously, just out of...

    Poll: Female Link in the next Zelda game - Your thoughts?

    Willing? Yeah. Link's sex is nothing that would keep me from playing since the gameplay of the Zelda series is reason numero uno that I play. Do I want him to be a girl? Not really. I don't really like the practice of taking established characters and swapping out constants just because...

    Am I A Terrible Person For Not Caring?

    I really don't think you are. Honestly, I lean more to the "I don't care" side of the issue as well. Now, I would definitely like it better if there was more variety and improved characterization overall in games. But if things stayed the way they have been for the past couple of years, it...

    Mario Kart 8: Too many boosts

    The coins issue is exactly what my main complaint is with this game. I can understand it being one of the few items those in first get, but I've gotten races where after the mess of racers in the beginning is sorted out, I've only gotten coins. With green shells and bananas, I can at least...
