Oh, now this sounds fun :D Nemesis: Wellllll my first roll for them got 'psionic manipulation', which is explained as 'The ability to possess all existing psychic/psionic/mental powers.' Which can include cosmic manipulation and just spontaneously creating anything. So that's out. Second...

I grew up on the Insomniac trilogy (Spyro the Dragon was, in fact, my very first video game), played Season of Fire and... whatever the third GBA game was, and the Legend trilogy. I've got to say, I prefer the Legend trilogy overall-- rough order being Dawn of the Dragon, Eternal Night, and...

I CAN CHANGE GUNS?! Me, about 3/4s of the way into my first playthrough of Mass Effect and finally discovering how you changed weapons in battle. Up until then I had been using nothing but pistols. ... I still just used increasingly powerful pistols after that though, I hated the rest of...

If it's real, I'll definitely give it a shot-- I'm actually incredibly intrigued with how they'd handle things. If it sucks, I stop watching and return to my normal ponies. If it's good, then that's another show I have to watch, which is always nice to have. And I seem to be alone so far in...

The Adventure Time Episode, 'I Remember You'. I already tended to relate to Marceline more than any other character, and when we got the addition of watching a father figure uncontrollably lose his mind until he almost forgets you? Yeah, I cried; it just brought up a lot of things I sort...

Ah, thank you! I knew I was missing another Death Note connection, but I couldn't remember. I feel a bit ashamed now, Naomi was one of my favorites.

The actress who does Pinkie Pie's singing in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic also voiced Misa in Death Note. Also, Spike is Near. And in response to RadialThrone1, I think that's because a lot of the English anime dubs are done by Ocean Productions, so they use a lot of the same employees...

Ah... god, there are so many. The first time you see the Citadel, being inducted as a Spectre, Virmire, the battle of the Citadel, seeing the Normandy SR-2, reuniting with your old squadmates in 2, Thane's entrance on Illium (and everything about his romance path), the suicide run, and... so...

I feel this would be a good one to go out on. Or this:

I really can't say, though if forced to choose, I'd say soundtrack wins by a very slim margin. While visuals and gameplay can be perfect, absolutely stunning things... it's the music that can push you from being impressed to really feeling the location (my example of choice there would be...

I am still quite proud of recognizing that Marina Sirtis played Matriarch Benezia in Mass Effect, after only a couple episodes of TNG and it being months since I played the first Mass Effect game. Almost makes up for my inability to recognize Seth Green in the same game x.x And of course...

One of the few video game levels to genuinely frighten me, and at least half of that reason is due to the music.

Best book-to-movie adaptation I saw... until Coraline came out, that one actually improved beyond the book. I also have fond memories of getting to see it at some kind of pre-screeing event because my teacher at the time had won... tickets or something and managed to allow our entire class to...

Tough call... I feel most comfortable between Infiltrator and Vanguard (with a sniper rifle in 3. A maxed-out Black Widow is all I need to get through the game now).
