3.United Arab Emirates
4.Normally B but I have been using jumping between platforms in the past couple of months.
5.D
6)I'm not sure,my favourite game is Persona 4 but I don't play much JRPGs aside from the SMT series,other favourites include Portal 2 but I'm not that into puzzle games, closest thing I can think of is hack and slash.
7.Not sure of that either, normally I would say gameplay but after Ace Attorney and Persona 4 I was leaning towards characters and story but then I played Dark Souls and now I'm torn.
8.Probably not, due to the gaming press's over hype in the past I'm less interested in getting games as fast as possible and I wait sometime after its release to see if the game is found memorable amongst the gaming community.
9.Definitely not, if anything I'm kinda annoyed when a game has a high focus on graphics,don't know why but I am.
10. Definitely,to mention a game for a third time in one post,I completed Persona 4 two or so years ago, its a PS2 game being played on current gen but it still managed to be my favourite game.
11.not sure
12.if you mean keep up with all the gaming news? then definitely, if you mean game development and tech then no,I'm clueless about that.
13.Forth time mentioned: Persona 4.


Edit:Just in case you only wanted the answers you asked for then make 7.Gameplay and 8 what ever hack and slash is considered to be.
And sorry for the overload of info, I just felt like typing that.

What kind of educational career are you working towards? I'm just about a year away from my Master of Education degree, and then (hopefully) straight on to the Referendariat.
Whatever you need this data for, good luck, colleague! :)
