10. Best Gameplay - There is something so beautiful about the way Doom handles, that many of its contemporaries - even the ones that try to emulate what Doom did - get so wrong. Weaving in and out of projectile clusters, zooming through hallways, that satisfying moment when you find a hidden doorway leading to that weapon that's been taunting you from behind a window for the whole level.

9. Saddest Scene - Chapters 10 and 11 of FE:Awakening. It's so sad that the battle music even gets overwritten for an entire chapter. Pair this with a decision that genuinely feels like there's too much at stake...

8. Best Soundtrack - My answer to this very much changes by the day, but if I had to pick just one, I don't think I'd ever get tired of Uplink's selection of demoscene music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUn9SYdPF4A

7. Favorite Game Couple - I feel like Fire Emblem Awakening is the game that turned me into a ridiculous shipper - that said, the "best" couple, I'd argue, is M!Robin and Tiki.

6. Most Annoying Character - Hokutomaru from Garou: Mark of the Wolves. Actually, he's tied with Bao from KoF 2000 and Akari from Last Blade. In fact, if your fighting game has a token 13-year-old trickster, I probably hate them.

5. Game Character You Feel Most Like - Gonna have to go with Tex Murphy on this one. He's serious when he wants to be, but is a total goofball on most other occasions. Keen eye for clues and evidence, but can't resist making jokes about them. Bit of a bumbling fool at times, has a tendency of walking into traps, but overall the kind of person you'd want on your side. https://computerfairi.es/media/uDLvVJkndar2qw2H5-g

4. Your Guilty Pleasure Game - China Warrior on the TurboGrafx 16. It's a TERRIBLE game, but for some reason I continue playing it even if it's basically unplayable. The controls barely work, there's only 2 songs in the game, the bosses are cheap assholes...and I still play it.

3. A game that's underrated - I don't think enough people play pinball games anymore. Much as I dislike the pricing scheme of it, The Pinball Arcade is a great way to get into it. Or any of the 21st Century Entertainment pinballs, really. They're cheap as hell on GOG. https://computerfairi.es/media/zo7TfYUDC3QeeH6ZhUY

2. Favorite Character - God there's just so many to pick from. My current pick though would have to be Kazuma Kiryu, who despite all the ass-kicking, is actually a really good role model. He fights for the people who can't fight. He often dispenses very helpful advice to people who swear they'll stop trying to scam people. Generally, he looks scary as hell, but he's a man to look up to. https://computerfairi.es/media/Xe-KrYH0HeW23cDaiiE

1. First Video Game - I got a pretty early start in the video gaming world, since Dad owned a 2600. I'd have to guess my first game was something on that - probably either Dragster or Circus Atari. I recall thinking the "death" animation in Circus Atari was the funniest thing in the world. I was 3. It's still funny to me 27 years later.

I feel like clogging up a feed that isn't twitter with this. Doesn't matter how many likes I get though, I wanna do the whole list in a format that gives me more room to write about each answer. https://computerfairi.es/media/9phvjlEjGc-YdpteH8M

currently: slapping myself in the side of the face with the lid of a holiday popcorn bucket, because the sound it makes cracks me up

This magazine is really blatantly titled when you think about it. https://computerfairi.es/media/W1wNdgPSNsBfOQG1dF8

500 characters seems almost too liberating.

It works with just about anything, really. https://computerfairi.es/media/rlZgiWvit9YDkIIInts

That time I discovered how to get through an entire RPG without anybody knowing the silent protagonist's real name. https://computerfairi.es/media/Ca208YPvHZwGfd9w5Xs
