User:Element Knight 375/Gaming Forum

Hello, visitors and members! My nickname is Element Knight 375, an avid fan of Game Ideas Wiki. I'm the writer of several pages, such as The Element Chronicles, and I have been in communication with executive members, such as Ouroburos.TheNewSaurian and Geniusguy445, regarding my work and whether I could join.

Geniusguy graciously extended a personal invitation to create an account and join the community, but I convinced him to let me stay anonymous from an official standpoint for security reasons. However, I provided a nickname, Element Knight 375, for them to address me by, and shortly afterward they gave me permission to establish this, a Discussion Page, for people to give their opinions on once-a-day questions through the extremely quick, extremely easy, and extremely informal process of editing.

So here's how this works: for every day I visit the site, I will come on to this page, type that day's date, and post a question for that day, regarding everything from what game you would want made the most, from a good bout of "Who would win in a fight?". If you are intrigued by a question, just click "Edit Page" at the top next to the title, scroll down to the question you want to answer, start a paragraph, and then make up a nickname for yourself. This name can be on-the-spot or established, but you don't have to make an account. From there, you just write up your answer, hit publish, and then it's open to the public. If your answer is really good, I, Element Knight, or some of the executive contributors might respond to it. If you have a question you'd like me to ask, go to the bottom and post a comment for it (also account-free). Are you ready? Here goes!

Questions
12/20/11 (1st day of the page): As is known to us all, Christmas is coming fast and is less than a week away. If you could pick one game, that you have or don't have, to get on Christmas, what would it be? Why? 12/21/11: Today, the 21st, is the typical day for the occurrence of the winter solstice, supposedly the coldest day of the year when the Sun sets around 4:30. In observance of this, what game has the best Ice or Snow world/level you've ever seen? What if there were a game that was entirely an Ice world? 12/22/11: One of the most popular franchises by Nintendo has to the Super Smash Bros. series, and it is the theme that has drawn the most ideas on this wiki. Out of all the characters in any of the titles, which do you see yourself being the most like, or most eager to be? Do you have a preference that isn't in any of the released titles, but reasonably could be (perhaps from one of the ideas on here; remember it must be reasonable, like from Mario or Fire Emblem)? 12/23/11: One of the most talked about games these days is Skyrim, one in a series of open-ended role-playing games that involve prophecies and quests on a divine level. What is your favorite open-ended RPG? What do you think would be a good theme for a new one? 12/24/11: Christmas Eve is now upon us, the day when hopefully all the preparation for Christmas Day ends and the legend of Santa Claus flying around the world is talked about everywhere. Is there a flying game with a vehicle that you think could be used to fly across the world? Which is it? 12/25/11: In case you haven't noticed, CHRISTMAS IS HERE! As well we all know, Christmas is a time for family and friends. So, what game do you think is the best family game, that anyone can play? 12/26/11: After I got SSBB yesterday, I went to town and made it around 35% percent or over in Adventure Mode, and completed Classic Mode as Link. What game have you made the most progress with in a single day? 12/27/11: Today seems like a good contest day, so who would win in a motor race, Mario or Captain Falcon? What about in a fight? 12/28/11: I'm always excited to see a game sequel come out, because with video games (as opposed to most movies), sequels tend to be better than those which precede them. If you were to see a sequel come out, for which series would it be? P.S. If you have no prior knowledge about Metal Slug, then maybe you can see this for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilzeg_-UoOY. The video showcases gameplay footage of Metal Slug 5, my second favorite of the franchise behind Metal Slug 3.
 * I'd love Gears of War 2 or 3 (and an xbox) for Christmas. I love the multiplayer action (that can also be during the actual campaign!), the game is made really well, the enemies are strong and challenging to kill, the game rewards you for cooperation and strategy, and it's overall a lot of fun. Man, why can't I have a chainsaw gun? However, I don't have an xbox, and the game isn't for any system I have. A game I would want more, though, would definitely have to be L.O.W.! That game is freakin' intense! Especially if I could get the console with it. :D Geniusguy445 (talk) "Christmas is here. Presents are near. To only me. Waluigi!"
 * I'm thinking of going with either Twisted Metal: Black for the Playstation 2 and/or Pokemon Black Version for the Nintendo DS. Let me start off with Twisted Metal: Black; lord, was this a fun title! I really got hooked into the franchise because it was something that started off the "racing combat" game genre as a whole, which combines action AND racing elements together... and that kicked severe ass! If there is one game I could go back to, it may as well be TM:B. Now I wanna speak about Pokemon Black Version; now the only reason I really want that for Christmas is because there are a hording amount of fans of the series who will never shut up about it. How much hype is Generation V getting, exactly? I won't know until I try out the installment for myself. And from what I've been seeing, most of the Pokemon seem to be like the ones from the Kanto Region, and I guess that has its merits, but not all of them. Anyhoo, hope you all have a Merry Christmas! Weeeeell... "Black Christmas". AH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

 * I'd asked for a few video games this year, but I'd have to say the one I want the most is an account on Minecraft. It's actually a really unique Christmas wish, but it looks so cool. Building a world based on your own imagination sounds like a gaming ideal for me. Which leads to a follow up question for all of you, do any of you have accounts? The other games that I've been hoping to get were Super Mario 3D Land, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, and Kirby's Return to Dream Land. I was going to ask for Pokemon Rumble Blast, but I was pretty skeptical about it. My parents also told me that I won't be getting a Playstation 3 this year, which is a bummer. Beecanoe 01:42, December 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, Beecanoe, I have a couple of notes first: I'd say don't stress too much about not getting PS3, because I think Nintendo is really where it's at right now. Second, I'll answer you question by saying that I do not have an account here, for security reasons, but I gave a nikcname so that you guys could identify me instead. Now let me say that you have astonished me with your answer, because I have told my dad that one of the things I'd like is, in fact, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, as how could you not want it? I mean, I was pretty psyched when I saw not only how cool and adventuresome it is, but also that the WiiRemotePlus is used so that your sword swings in the direction you move the remote! How awesome is that? Anyway, I was also pondering the idea of a Nintendo 3DS, along with maybe Super Mario 3D Land, but those things are really expensive ( but they're kick-butt advanced), so I think I might get one for my birthday next July. Another thing I definitely want is Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I've watched practically every video of it you can imagine on YouTube, and it's so intense that they had to rate it Teen! A Nintendo game even! Awesome. You guys keep an eye out for my next question! Element Knight 375, 12/20/11.
 * This is a bit of a tough one. I would say Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island in terms of nostalgia value, but probably Super Mario 64 overall. And regarding the second question, if there were an installment to be completely nothing but just icy levels and whatnot, I'd say it would have to be innovative and not too boring. "I used to be one of Santa's little helpers like you, but I took an arrow to the knee" 18:59, December 21, 2011 (UTC)Ouroburos.TheNewSaurian
 * It is kind of vexing, but I think my favorite is in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. That place is so completely frozen that if you play it in the winter, it almost makes you physically cold inside. Creepy. The Ice world in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was pretty fun, but the boss at the end terrified me at night for months. Anyway, when I wrote that question about the 100% ice game, I kind of thought the same thing you did: that they would have to make it easily playable and interesting so that you just don't feel like you're running around in snow. Maybe we should work on that. I meant to ask you, why are you always making a reference to some "arrow to the knee"? It's starting to weird me out a bit. Element Knight 375, 12/21/11
 * First of all, Element Knight, he's not just saying "an arrow to the knee" out of nowhere. Some users tend to use quotes with their signatures, some made up. As for the question, there has never been an ice world that has actually wowed me, but I can think of two that stuck out a little. The first is Sector 2 in Metroid: Other M. The visuals were nicely done, and the snow and ice did nothing to hinder control. Plus you get attacked by wolf-like aliens with tusks, which were one of the few enemies that didn't creep me out. There were also these odd-as-hell walrus-things with legs that had golden armored heads which took forever to kill, but I'm not going to go too deep into that. The other one (which is kind of cheating a little), is the Winter cycle in Pokemon Black/White. The creators did a good job of drastically changing the way the game looks (and plays!) when winter comes. Puddles turn to patches of ice that you're forced to slide across, snowhills allow you to access areas you couldn't before, and Cubchoo come out in the Winter. Beartic is its evolution and it is the biz. Beecanoe 00:38, December 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the enlightenment about the quote, and good answer. I looked up a video of Metroid Sector 2, and it's sick SWEET! I can see why you picked it. And those wolfs aren't too creepy, but they look tough. I'm glad you were able to contribute again. Element Knight 375, 12/21/11
 * I loved the ice levels on NSMBW, and especially the penguin suit! Super Mario 64 had a great ice area, with giant snow man heads. Recently I played Metroid Prime, which has an ice map right after leaving Magmoor, a lava area. Luckily ice water isn't as deadly as Super Mario 64, or the entire Breezeburn galaxy of SMG. But my favorite may in fact be in Yoshi Story, in the third world. Summit, with in either Poochy & Nippy, or Frustration. Hee, hee they feature [SNOW GUYS]! I've never seen a fully snowed game, but any game featured in Russia will have plenty of snow to spare. Yeah metal gear/007. finally, the quote in my signature is a quote from a Brawl in the Family comic for the Christmas season. If you follow the link, you can enjoy some quality [citation?] singing by Waluigi! Enjoy! (Also available on youtube, known as Hark of the Waa) Geniusguy445 (talk) "Christmas is here. Presents are near. To only me. Waluigi!" 01:58, December 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * First of all, I thinnk you're right on about the all-ice game being in Russia, or somewhere in the Northern-Eurasia area, if the game were to take place on Earth. Next, I totally forgot about Galaxy's Freezeburn! That was probably my second favorite. That's where, I learned, the first Ice Flower was developed! Funny quote, by the way, although by next summer, it may seem kind of weird. (. Element Knight 375, 12/22/11

 * I'm definitely the most like Olimar. When it is required that a difficult task is done, I usually prefer to have others do it for me, preferrably as many as possible. Therefore, that would reflect Olimar's constant use of Pikmin in his attacks (and how he sucks by himself). Or I'd be like Snake, using tactics on the battlefield rather than brute strength, because, if I were in a fight, I'd prefer grenades and C4's rather than just using my fists. Beecanoe 21:57, December 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * LOL, that's a good answer, the thing about Olimar. I can picture that pretty easily. As for me, I kinda like Toad, but it would definitely be Link for me. He's courageous, selfless, and good in a fight. Everything I aspire to be. Plus I've had my sword and shield fantasies in my day. I can't wait to get SSBB myself. It'll be awesome! Element Knight 375, 12/22/11
 * For the most part, I'd say I'm definitely like Captain Falcon. One thing for sure, I'm one to act as if he has the right amount of hotbloodedness and over-the-top mannerisms (not on the internet, though). Which perfectly reflects Falcon for me. He's very much like the Chuck Norris of the Nintendo universe, only he has that EPIC Falcon Punch that you see in the anime! And a fun fact: C. Falcon's voice actor is the same guy who does Vegeta's voice in the Japanese version of Dragon Ball Z (Ryo Horikawa). "I used to be one of Santa's little helpers like you, but I took an arrow to the knee" 22:14, December 22, 2011 (UTC)Ouroburos.TheNewSaurian
 * That's a good one, too. Funny thing, I actually recommended Captain Falcon's green palette swap to my dad for a go-to character once I get it. I really like the criteria by which you decided on Cap Falcon, Ouro. That's the kind of thing I usually go for when picking a favorite character in a game. I wonder what Geniusguy's favorite will be, if he decides to answer. If he does, I wonder which one of us would win in an actual brawl! Food for thought. Thanks for putting up an answer Ouro, and keep coming back! Element Knight 375, 12/22/11
 * As seen from two of my favorite Brawl characters, I'd prefer Ike or Wario. I believe I have (at least some of) the strength to single hand weild a 2h sword, and I love elemental attacks. "I fight for my friends." How noble. What a fighter. If not, then I'd aspire to be quick witted, super humanly strong, ultra intuitive business sense, all with a no-nonsense yet still full of comedy guy like Wario. He may be fat, smelly and garlic addicted, but I wish that I could become a super hero when I have garlic bread, I wish I have a customized motorcycle that can go at 217 miles an hour with terrible fuel efficiency, I wish I could enlarge my fists when I punch or clap for an easy KO, and I wish I had his kind of money. He owns more than 5 vehicles each with different uses (He has a private plane), he owns a couple castles, he owns a video game company, and he is skilled enough with electronics to make devices to get him more money in seconds. However, he has terrible endurance. Ah well, everyone has weaknesses. And strengths. Like any king in that game. Sigh, I'd even be happy to be a Shy Guy. toodles! Geniusguy445 (talk) "Christmas is here. Presents are near. To only me. Waluigi!"
 * I don't have a particular favorite open-ended RPG title or any other on at all. Maybe because I have an incredibly limited knowledge on the genre and I have no care for it. However, if there is ONE game I could talk a few things about, it's either the very first Fable game released on the Xbox or Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, which I had a pretty hard time with when I was younger. And regarding a theme for a new sort of open-ended RPG, I guess it could revolve around the time of a zombie apocalypse. "I used to be one of Santa's little helpers like you, but I took an arrow to the knee" 21:40, December 23, 2011 (UTC)Ouroburos.TheNewSaurian
 * Yeah, I don't really like open ended RPGs either, cause they confuse me. But my favorite is definitely Morrowind. My sister would always play it and I qould watch and play a little bit. Actually, I tried to start a game recently but I just couldn't make good progress, so now I play Super Mario Galaxy. I think a good theme, however, would be like Star Wars or something close to Harry Potter. Thanks for answering! Element Knight 375, 12/23/11
 * I still kinda like Runescape. As casual as it seems, it doesn't require too much effort, and is very open ended. But then again, almost by definition, RPG's are open ended, and revolve around quests. Having said that, Mario series RPGs usually have a final goal more than just ranking the highest. Of those, I like Paper Mario, Super Mario RPG, and Mario & Luigi: Superstar saga. As in the only ones I've played of those series. I like games that are a mix of something and RPG's. The three I listed all have action, humor and platforming objectives, which makes RPG's more bearable. That's why you'll notice that 5th Dimension is a shooter-RPG. Right now, I'd like more games with that sort of combo. Geniusguy445 (talk) "Christmas is here. Presents are near. To only me. Waluigi!" 02:48, December 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Kirby Air Ride is pretty much a racing game that, for the most part, involves a lot of flying elements. So in truth, if I were to fly across the world, I would use Kirby's Dragoon. "I used to be one of Santa's little helpers like you, but I took an arrow to the knee" 18:02, December 24, 2011 (UTC)Ouroburos.TheNewSaurian
 * Whoa, that was prompt. Makes sense too. I think I might use an Arc Fighter from Star Wars Battlefront Ii. That thing can fly in space and over land, and has sick maneuverability. By the way, I read some of the scripts from Epic Saga Wiki just before I wrote this up! It's great as long as you don't kill Nintendo's greatest heroes at the end, especially Link and Mario (you might wanna dial the swearing down a bit too). Element Knight 375, December 24, 2011.
 * Hey, now! Whose idea was the Epic Saga franchise? Beecanoe. Who writes the scripts down? Perhaps me and Beecanoe... although you won't find the latter as much. Also, it's not like any of the Nintendo characters are really being considered marked for "death", unless Beecanoe decides it for himself. And swearing? {sighs} This was only most prominent in Ouroburos vs. Beecanoe according to the scripts, but I wanted to make that one darker than the other installments. Now it's sometimes a bit faint, and sometimes it's not faint. "I used to be one of Santa's little helpers like you, but I took an arrow to the knee" 19:18, December 24, 2011 (UTC)Ouroburos.TheNewSaurian
 * It's rated teen for a reason. Plus, as for dying, do any game characters of nintendo actually die? Mario x3 > Mario x2 > Mario x1 > Game Over. (Then again, SM64. Or any 3d platformer, Mario can choke to death, etc.) As for the actual question, I wouldn't mind flying around the world in the Halberd. Geniusguy445 (talk) "Christmas is here. Presents are near. To only me. Waluigi!"
 * Ah, but do any of these games truly end in death? The game isn't really over until you reach the end alive. If a Nintendo character were to die and not come back by the time the Saga ends, that is a true end of that character. For example, in Twilight Princess, you die many, many times. This goes for the Mario games as well. But in the end, Link ends up killing Ganon and Mario always manages to save the princess. Death is not an engraved part of the storyline, as it is here. Plus, if you're going to leave the swearing and suggestive themes in there the way it is, you might as well rate it Mature, cause that's where you're going with it whether you like it or not. Element Knight 375, December 24, 2011.
 * Games don't end in death; that was my point. (Yes, I may adjust Notorious to match that point. Luckily, Nintendo doesn't mind eternal corruption/mutation/enchantment/imprisonment as long as it doesn't result in death. Nice.) So we shouldn't really kill them (Mario or the main main heroes only. Roid, Zeitgeist, who needs em? *Slight Sarcasm). And I think we should aim for a teen rating as teen rates games as having (content that may be suitable for ages 13 and older. Titles in this category may contain violence, suggestive themes, crude humor, minimal blood, simulated gambling, and/or infrequent use of strong language). That's why my additions have mainly been to increase the wit, as quick thinking is harder to create then just swearing. E.g. "You're ugly." "Well, maybe you should up your prescription to see me better." is more enjoyable than "You're ugly." "Yeah? **** off." Wow creativity for the last one was off the charts. *Ultra sarcasm -_- Geniusguy445 (talk) "Christmas is here. Presents are near. To only me. Waluigi!" 04:40, December 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * YO! Merry Christmas Everyone! Geniusguy445 (talk) "Christmas is here. Presents are near. To only me. Waluigi!" 15:00, December 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm really not one to answer out of the box, because I'm the mediator and I usually respond. However, I GOT SKYWARD SWORD AND SSBB FOR CHRISTMAS! Yeah man, I got 'em real good! Ahem...thank you for your attention. As for my own question, my favorite family game is Wii Sports Resort. Wii Sports came to my mind at first, but the diversity in sports tends to make Resort the better option in my eyes. Now for a sappy Christmas monologue: "It is a recent occurrence that I have become a real contributor to this wondrous wiki, and I prize this contribution beyond anything you can possibly imagine. Your acceptance and patience with me is unthinkably appreciated, executive contributors, and I hope to have a long future here. A merry, merry Christmas to all of you and a prosperous new year!" Element Knight 375, December 25, 2011.
 * Gaming wise, New SMB wii, Kirby return to dreamland and band hero. We had some fun today :). As for the rest of my presents, check ETG's blog. Geniusguy445 (talk) "Christmas is here. Presents are near. To only me. Waluigi!" 00:04, December 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * For the opposite, Metroid Prime. "We did so much today! Wait 1% complete?! Wha-?" That's more notable than any other game. Beyond flash games. Geniusguy445 (talk) "Christmas is here. Presents are near. To only me. Waluigi!" 19:37, December 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * It always does frustrate me when you work for hours only to get barely any progress, although some is better than none. I think the most progress I ever made was finishing Avatar: The Burning Earth in about 8-10 hours. Element Knight 375, December 27, 2011.
 * When it comes to a motor race, I'd say Captain Falcon. Why? Apparently, it looks like he tries to soup up his vehicle as much as possible. Sorry, Mario fans. And if it comes down to a fight... CAPTAIN FALCON!!!! Mario may be versatile at times, but you must admit that Captain Falcon's one great weapon is his Falcon Punch and KNEE OF JUSTICE!!! He's like the Chuck Norris of the Nintendo Universe, as I probably said before. "You cannot escape the wrath of my almighty bunghole!" 19:03, December 27, 2011 (UTC)Ouroburos.TheNewSaurian
 * I have to agree on the Captain Falcon bit, although it would be close in a Mario Kart context where attributes were limited. However, I think Mario might take the fight because although Falccon has some good moves, Mario is lighter and faster, and can deal a pretty damaging hit under the right conditions. Element Knight 375, December 27, 2011.
 * I'd say Cap. Falcon for both. His racer would easily out race any kart in the Mario universe, and his moves are better when coupled with his speed. Mario would put up a good fight, but I think Falcon would win in the end. Geniusguy445 (talk) "Christmas is here. Presents are near. To only me. Waluigi!" 03:09, December 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * I actually pitted Captain Falcon and Mario against each other in Brawl. It was a no-item fight on Final Destination with both CPUs on level 9. Mario won by a practical landslide, so that seems like proof that he'd win. "I'll kill you with my sword!" Element Knight 375 01:47, February 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Possibly either Pikmin or Metal Slug. For the former, we of course might as well see Pikmin 3 hit the Wii U sometime soon. I find Pikmin to be one of the most underrated franchises of Nintendo, yet there are fans who surprisingly love the games nearly to death. As for the latter, the Metal Slug series is one of the fewer shooter-related installments that don't bore me to death. Why? Because they were mostly made by SNK (excluding Metal Slug 4, which was developed by Korean company Mega Enterprise), have awesome soundtracks, and simplistic plots. If I would love to see Metal Slug get a future sequel, please hope that SNK Playmore listens to their dear fans and make a Metal Slug 8. They did so well with King of Fighters XIII, so hopefully success could be on their side once more. "You cannot escape the wrath of my almighty bunghole!" 03:41, December 28, 2011 (UTC)Ouroburos.TheNewSaurian
 * That's not a bad answer. This will really surprise you, I'm sure, but one sequel I'd like to see is a fourth installment of the Sly Cooper series. I've been playing those games for years upon years and the plots are nothing short of phenomenal. The fighting is also pretty dynamic. Aside from Sly 4, another Smash Bros. would be nice (and we reeeaalllly have that one covered), because I'd really like to see Toad and Daisy, and perhaps characters like Ghirahim, Fi, and Midna. (Plus, by popular demand, there really should be more Sonic characters. That much is clear.) The biggest difficulty in that area is deciding exactly which characters should go in. I'd love feedback for that, because I'm announcing that at some point I will write my own Smash Bros. article. Element Knight 375, December 28, 2011.

12/29/11: I'm always interested in games where characters from universes meet (well, crossovers I should say), because you never know how they're going to interact with each other. What's your favorite crossover game? What makes it your favorite? 12/30/11: In all gaming, the thing I probably hate the most is getting stuck on a level, with no way out to speak of. Which level in a game do you most hate being stuck on? 12/31/11: Happy New Year everyone! I hope you can all take a break from partying to answer my question, because it's a good one. New Year's Eve always causes me to realize either how long or how short a year is. Has it ever taken you a year to beat a game? Did it feel like it took that long?
 * I think you should've put the question as "What's your favorite crossover series?", but that's more of a minor nitpick. And onto the question, I would say my favorite crossover title is quite possibly Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes. Despite it being heavily unbalanced for a fighting game, players can find nearly everything memorable about it in comparison to Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (I reviewed Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 on this wiki), which is somewhat forgettable in the music department and is made up of mostly obscure and newer characters. I will say though that at least MvC3's character models (not that it matters) look surprisingly better than what you see in Street Fighter IV... and I literally got turned off by the inky art style when I first saw it. "You cannot escape the wrath of my almighty bunghole!" 18:33, December 29, 2011 (UTC)Ouroburos.TheNewSaurian
 * I really like the Super Smash Bros. series, as they feature many types of characters, and you get to view a comparison of them to other Nintendo characters. Each difference is accented is the campaigns, and you see the personality of each distinctly. Like how Marth thinks before charging into a situation, and Meta Knight doesn't. That sort of thing. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  00:23, December 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, Ouro, I did mean game, because it entails a particular preference within a series. However, I won't stop you from bringing up your favorite series. As for the question, I think SSB is pretty sweet too, although I haven't had much experience (I have no doubt that I'll have to look up how the living HECK I get through that maze near the end). I also like Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, because the plot was really epic and it acts as a massive collection of character diversity, which I always look for. If I had to pick one to be made, I'd say it would be The Adventure of Mario and Link. It may need touching up, but it has one of the best plots I've ever conceived.
 * I have none in particular, but there IS one that I feel which annoys me to end; that is Squeals on Wheels from Donkey Kong Country 3. Oh, some can say it's rather easy. {scoffs} I beg to differ, as finding which way to go is simply tedious for me. With all the Buzzes circling the Squeals inside the wheels, that makes it a bit worse. "You cannot escape the wrath of my almighty bunghole!" 20:50, December 30, 2011 (UTC)Ouroburos.TheNewSaurian
 * Metroid. There is never ever a way out. "Oh but the whole point of the series is exploration!" Yeah? SM Galaxy featured some, and I didn't go insane with it! Metroid is one long continuous GAME of the one level you get stuck on for no reason! I can get pretty stuck on random levels because of goombas in just the right places, but Metroid without any upgrades in much, much worse. That said, it is just as insanely rewarding to get somewhere finally, that it almost makes up for it. Almost. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  01:24, December 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * This may not warrant respect, but I have a lot to choose from. One frustrating one is in Sly 3 just near the end where you have to swim through a water tunnel where monsters try to attack you from the sides, and it's really hard to dodge them. I also have a problem with Donkey Kong Country Returns with the rocket level where you have to avoid bats. That one is punishment. The thing in Fantastic where you have to seal the space station as the Human Torch is excruciating. All in all though, the first one is definitely the worst. Element Knight 375, December 30, 2011.
 * I've found that only puzzle games and RPGs can take years. They are really the only games you can "chip away" at the requirements and the levels, as the rest need perpetually honed reflexes. I've never taken a year to constanstly over come a game, mainly because i don't have that kind of patience to constantly play. If not constant, i don't count the time taken to fully beat it. I just forget about it. The other games that take a while are the ones that won't admit you won. Paper Mario, I'm looking at you. Anyways, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Genius Guy #445 (talk)  03:20, January 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * I can't think of many games that have taken a year... one of the 007 games might be one, or maybe something like Lord of the Rings or Sly. You know, I once heard that it took Dom Monaghan, who played Merry in the Lord of the Rings movies and voiced him the games, 3 1/2 years to finish Return of the King! At the same time, he said that he'd only been gaming for about 4 years. I mean, it's definitely hard without codes, but come on! I could finish like 2 Zelda games in that time. Oh well, I guess we all have our pace. Anyway, a very happy new year to all of you who see my answer, and I hope this glorious think tank of a wiki continues to fluorish and grow, and maybe live the dream of having ideas become reality.

January
01/01/12: Yesterday was New Year's Eve (in case you hadn't noticed), but it was also the day when I not only finished SSBB's Adventure Mode, but also unlocked all characters (in less than a week). Since it's a basic concensus around here that we all love Brawl, I think it would be fun to ask some opinions about the game. Let's start with... which enemy in Adventure Mode do you hate the most? Why do you have the most trouble with that enemy? 01/02/12: I had some trouble with the Great Maze, but a clear walkthrough and good team got me through it without trouble. Which team would you bring into the Great Maze? Why? 01/03/12: In a brawl between Bowser, Ganon, Wolf, and King Dedede, who would win?
 * My brother and I have come to the consensus that Roaders are the most dangerous enemies in Brawl. We never know that they're coming, and are the number one cause of death by a single type of enemy. Ranking them about third-ish overall. Number one would be holes. That goes for me in pretty much every other game as well. Autolances, Armites, ROBs are all pretty dangerous. The Floow are bad if you leave them alone. But poor recoveries rank highest. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  22:29, January 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's obviously the Armights and the Nagagogs for me. For the Armights, I nearly cringe at the sight of them because of their deep laughter. Another thing is that they might fly everywhere across the stage at times... somewhat. And the Nagagogs are just vastly worse! When you come in contact with one, they have a tendency to grow in size. Don't hit them when they perform this action, please! And not to go off on a tangent here, but do you think there should've been more innovation to the various enemy types? You would expect to fight some Scarfies, Octoroks, or even some Pokies. I honestly don't think Sakurai and his team were putting much effort when it come to picking out fan-favorite enemies. Granted, I like almost a majority of the Subspace enemy designs, but some of us could also kill for some fanservice :P Ouroburos.TheNewSaurian
 * Buckots. They are like the Lakitus of the Subspace Emissary. They will hover over you and drop hot bricks on you, which cause quite a bit of damage. Plus, there's the common mistake of jumping to hit them in midair and flying right into their traps. They're especailly annoying when there are other enemies around and when you're jumping from platform to platform. I greatly hate Metal Primids as well. If you use your most powerful move, you can only make them flinch for a split-second, then they basically have the right of way to punch you square in the face when you're not fast enough to kill them. Trophy-wise, I have trouble snagging Bullet Bill. Beecanoe 01:04, January 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wow, this became a popular question. For me, I agree with both GG and Beec that the Armights are the worst. They're not only terrifying, but they have those devastating sword moves that put you right on the ground. Bullet Bills are pretty annoying, and so are the Bytans. I actually REALLY hate Mites. I mean, they're tiny little things made from gummy candy but when there are five or more, they take forever to get rid of. Two more things I don't like are those bombing ones (even though I quickly figured out that you block them) and those shadow warriors with the long sword gauntlets that are used kind of like tonfa. Element Knight 375, December 1, 2012.
 * I like that you can grab primids even when they're downed. Makes it easier to clear them. I think overall most of the enemies were really annoying. "Oop sorry, you didn't hit that tiny inch large button on his back. Now your down, and they are ready to KO you with a touch." Grr. However, some characters are great at redeeming enemies like the Floow, as they take the stupid guys down quickly. Sigh. The Subspace Emmisary basically ruined all of the music played in it. At least the cutscenes are good. Like Marth and Meta Knight fighting. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  03:48, January 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * By now, we're running through it with random characters, but originally we went with characters with decent power for mobility. Meaning Samus, Wario, Lucario, Marth, Kirby, Zelda, Link (maybe), Luigi, and such people. Plus, we go with people either of us can play with. Which is still basically everyone. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  18:52, January 2, 2012 (UTC) PS webcomix! Also look at the Ice world discussion for more fun from Brawl in the Family!
 * I did take a look at that Brawl comic and it was pretty hilarious! As for the question, I'd like to start off by saying that I've only ever been through the Great Maze once, so I don't have experience doing it with characters beyond the ones I've used before finishing. Be that as it may, my big preferences are good attacks with a lot of damage, and difficulty dying because of falling. In order of play, my best team is Kirby, Link, Mario, and Pit. I have tried using Meta Knight, but to limited success because I have trouble maneuvering him. Wanna hear something crazy? I beat Tabuu on the first try, without even having to go to the last man! That's a bit of a feather in my cap, I'd say. Element Knight 375, January 2, 2012.
 * Depends on if its with me as a player. I'd vote for Bowser, as I like him the best; but all fighters are good if the player is good with them. Genius Guy 445, January 4, 2012
 * I actually meant like either a hypothetical fight between the characters, or maybe a CPU brawl. In that case, I'd have to say either Bowser or Wolf, because they have the quickest and least predictable attacks. Element Knight 375, January 5, 2012.

01/04/12: I've recently been watching videos made by the Wiiviewers, a man and his two sons who discuss popular video games and give their opinions, taking into account all that was missing, as to whether they would be best to rent, buy, or skip. What game of yours do you have the fewest problems with? Do you think anything was missing in it? 01/05/12: One of my favorite aspects of adventure games is the incredible and heroic weapons. If you could have a fantasy weapon (fantasy, not anything from real life like an assault rifle) to fight evil with, what would it be? 01/06/12: What's your favorite classic video game, like something that could be gotten on the Wii Virtual Console? Why do you prefer it above others? 01/07/12: Often times I find myself in awe of the graphics of modern games. What game do you think has the best graphics you've ever seen?
 * Paper Mario. The orginal missed nothing. It had barely any glitches, none of them noticable. I still like it. Despite it being an RPG. I enjoy RPG's that don't last forever, and where you can skip dialog and talking to every single person to move on. Paper Mario satisfies all of those. That's my number 1. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  03:32, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Brawl is up there, but I'd say the best is probably New Super Mario Bros. Wii. The only problem I have with it is that you have to be Mario to play alone (that's a big problem to me). But, it has good nostalgia, great powerups, and no glitches to speak of. Element Knight 375, January 5, 2012.
 * I play NSMBW with my bro, and its insanely fun. We beat everything together. Alone, I haven't passed the second world, put am half way through the fifth. That is a great game. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  18:32, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * A power suit like Samus. I've always wanted one. If it has to be an equipable weapon, I'd pick the guns from Nitrome Must Die!. If it has to be fantasy, I'd pick a magic staff with lots of power, or the amazing sword Kirby gets in Return to Dreamland. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  17:41, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, yeah, the idea is a single weapon, so if you were to pick Samus's suit, the idea is a single element of it. If I had to pick one, I'd say maybe the Master Sword with a dark blue handle and silver winding, and also something as powerful as the Hylian Shield with something like those color schemes. If I were to have those, and this may be too many in a single deal, I would also like a super cool sort of Hero Bow. Element Knight 375, January 5, 2012.
 * Even though a gun that gets ammo based on powerups is amazing, how could we forget the Lancer of the Gears series? In layman's terms, the CHAINSAW GUN! Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:58, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the chaingun is pretty boss. Have you seen it used in, like the Clone Wars series on TV? It just really makes me wish I had one. I kind of like your idea about the magic staff, though, cause it reminds me of Gandalf. It also kind of reminds me of Level Up. That movie was pretty good, but I think they should have put more ffort into the weapons, because they made them look like toys. Element Knight 375, January 5, 2012.
 * I've played Gears 2, and chain sawed a few people on Horde mode. Its darkly rewarding when the rest of the enemies have been really annoying, and you get the opportunity to melee someone with it. There's plenty of gore, but you sometimes look past as you yell "DIIIIIIIEEEEE!" to the guy your chainsawing.
 * I got Paper Mario, Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario RPG, Super Mario 64, Mario Party 2, Super Punch Out, and a bunch of other games. And I love em all! Such creativity, and brilliance despite ultra retro graphics. 'Cuz that's the only problem with them. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  18:32, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * If I had to pick a favorite, I'd say Super Mario Bros. 3; it was the title of its age and paved the ay for modern Mario. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is pretty good too, because it was the basis for the way Zelda is today. Element Knight 375, January 6, 2012.
 * Sonic Generations. Because with graphics like those, fugedaboutit! It's like watching a computer generated TV show! :D Ethanthegamer 21:57, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Good answer! I really like the graphics in some of the Zelda games, but the graphics in SSBB are great, too. Some of the newer Star Wars games look promising, too. Thanks for answering one of my questions, ETG! Element Knight 375, January 8, 2012
 * I could say Halo:Reach or Gears, but I like the Graphics in SMGalaxy, NSMBWii, DKC:Returns and yeah, pretty much any game nowadays. Graphics aren't really a dealbreaker for me when buying games. The effects are much more important. I guess that would be how I judge graphics. DKC:Returns lets you play some levels at night, and you can only identify the Kongs by Neck Tie and Hat in a bold red where everything else is black. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  21:03, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

01/08/12: Some RPGs have round-based combat, or combat in which you attack your opponent, and then your opponent is free to attack you. What are your opinions on this type of combat? 01/09/12: What game sequel do you think the world needs? Do you think there should be a certain type of game within a saga?
 * Some would say that this style is outdated compared to the action-RPG styles of Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, but all it is is another way to play. It's good and simple for first-time RPG players and is done well in the Mario RPGs and Pokemon (undoubtedly my two favorite RPG series). Beecanoe 22:22, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm kind of negative about round-based combat for a couple of reasons: the first is that it just doesn't seem realistic except in the case of Pokemon. I mean, can you really imagine guys attacking each other by standing in respective places and then just running over and hitting each other? Also, the setup is pretty inconvenient. Often times I find myself confused as to how I attack and what it will do, and I don't know if I have any actual way of defending myself. Element Knight 375, January 8, 2012.
 * Paper Mario was excellent with round-based combat. Even better was the Mario & Luigi series, as you could counter attack, too. Though, if you think about it, pretty much all combat is turn-based. E.g. Swordfighting. I attack with multiple strikes. You would counter, then attack me. I would then be on defense, and looking for an opening to attack you. And so forth. This style is heavily prevalent in the downloadable game known as Rage of the Gladiator. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  21:03, January 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Most of the sequels that can be listed here likely have or will have articles on this wiki. So I don't really have a specific sequel that is deemed necessary. However, in the upcoming VT Remasteries, some older games will be partially reworked into a new game, so you may be able to go first person shooting in the original Metroid game. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  22:12, January 10, 2012 (UTC)

Enjoying the new year! 01/10/12: I tend to find some appeal in cheat codes. What are your opinions on them? Do you find them useful? 01/11/12: What's your reaction to people who hack video games for unofficial cheats?
 * I think it would be good to have a Kirby 3D game. There may already be one, but one should be made as a new title to keep the momentum from Return to Dreamland going. Also, I wouldn't mind another Zelda game that follows the same formatting pattern as Skyward Sword. Element Knight 375, January 10, 2012.
 * Cheats are lovely and useful, but they can go different ways. I sometimes rely on them in Age of Empires, but try to refrain from using them. However, if used to unlock things early, those are great. Of course, passwords are famous, so i also like them for that. KONAMI! METROID! MEGAMAN! Genius Guy #445 (talk)  03:58, January 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well I have a DS game, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, that takes up the used of codes in a form of "Wonder Mail". There are also HIDDEN Wonder Mail that you can find on GameFAQs, though you may have to unlock certain areas in order to take on the Jobs and obtain rare items. :/ Ethanthegamer 23:21, January 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * I try not to use cheats unless I need them, or enjoy levels more with them. For example, I use cheats when I go through levels in Jedi Academy, and I always use cheats when I get to a certain point in Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath. "I'll kill you with my sword!"

01/12/12: Do you believe that it would be worth it to get a Wii U if you have a well-functioning Wii? How might this question affect the Wii U, do you think? 01/13/12: Today is actually Friday 13th! In honor of this, what games do you tend to find yourselves screwing up on the most, simply because of the game? 01/14/12: I have some more Brawl questions in store! Let's start with... what's your favorite final smash? 01/15/12: Which Pokemon in Brawl do you like the most? Why? 01/16/12: What's your favorite Brawl stage?
 * Would it be worth it to get a PS3 if you have a well-functioning PS2? The answer is yes to both questions for the same reason. Innovation. New games. Better graphics. I think it would definitely be worth buying the system. But I would have to wait until some better games are confirmed for the system. The only games that so far look appealing are Super Smash Bros. and Batman: Arkham City, and I can get the former on 3DS and the latter on PS3 which I plan to get soon because they're 80$ now. So yeah, Wii U has potential. Beecanoe 02:13, January 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * The Wii U has crazy potential. But as someone who has a PS2, Xbox, and Wii all in the same area, why add the Wii U to the mix? If only the Wii U games worked on the Wii, then that would be stinkin' something. Besides, if Nintendo has any sense, they should make games available for both models. That's what frustrated me about the 360, they never made another Xbox game. Element Knight 375, January 12, 2012.
 * Well last year, I traded in my Nintendo DSi for the 3DS Trade Offer at the GameStop store on Cottage Grove...BAD mistale. :P Even though I have my Nintendo 3DS now, I feel as though my DSi has one more purpose to do... But all in all it was worth it. Though now I've accidentally shortly dropped my 3DS on my carpet floor now and I'm worried. <:( Ethanthegamer 16:16, January 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wii U is a new gadget, which is great! But I won't purchase it, at least for a while, as i don't buy every instolement of consoles. It has some excellent promise, and proves the potential of the VT volcano. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  02:52, January 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Metroid Prime Hunters for the Nintendo DS. While the game isn't exactly what one would call "challenging", sometimes I wonder on why I make a bit of screw ups now moreso than I did in the past. For instance, I'm trying to figure out how to jump when not using the "Morph Ball" ability, but nothing seems to come up. Perhaps Samus is unable to jump in her normal state (remember, by "normal state", I mean NOT when using the Morph Ball)? As a child, I liked using the one control scheme in Hunters where you control via button pad, itself. I guess Hunters isn't as liked as any of the other Metroid titles because of what I just pointed out. "You cannot escape the wrath of my almighty bunghole!" 02:52, January 14, 2012 (UTC)Ouroburos.TheNewSaurian
 * I tend to screw up a lot in Mario Kart Wii. Sometimes I'll just veer off in an unintentional direction or fall into a pit for some reason. Super Mario Galaxy is pretty vexing too, as the levels are sometimes daunting to the point where you can't help but screw up. Element Knight 375, January 13, 2012.
 * I tend to screw up the Act 1 stages on Sonic Generations, because I want to get an S Rank. :] Ethanthegamer 16:16, January 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * Whoa, seriously!? Screw up on the Act 1 stages? Well I played them on my cousin's Xbox 360, and it's somewhat hard for me to screw up at all. Do the controls have anything to do with this situation? For me, not really. They seem different from the Genesis days, but that's not much of a complaint. IGN criticized Generations for its controls, btw... which makes them blatantly ignorant because in their review for it, one of the players boosted into a wall during the Act 2 stage of Green Hill Zone. I'm not sure whether that was intentional or not, but a lot of people go with the former. Maybe it's just me, or you're probably not used to playing any of the early Sega Genesis installments. {shrugs} "You cannot escape the wrath of my almighty bunghole!" 17:12, January 14, 2012 (UTC)Ouroburos.TheNewSaurian
 * Older games kill me most often, along with those blasted enemies that can go through walls. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  02:52, January 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * {sighs} This sure is a tough one. I could say that my favorite is Ike's Great Aether (in a cutscene during the Subspace Emissary, Ike shouts out "Great Aether" and uses a sort of move that more or less resembles a regular Aether; is that inconsistency?), but Samus's Zero Laser and Link's Triforce Slash are great runner-ups, as well. I can also throw in Luigi's Negative Zone for the laughs! "You cannot escape the wrath of my almighty bunghole!" 19:43, January 14, 2012 (UTC)Ouroburos.TheNewSaurian
 * Nice ones. The Triforce Slash is probably my favorite, attendant to Link being my favorite character. The Mario Finale is also pretty good, and the moves of Sonic and Pikachu are also pretty great. Element Knight 375, January 14, 2012.
 * I wish Marth's was fancier. I wish they all were fancier. Fot that, I like Captain Falcon's. I really like Luigi's for showing his power. For effectiveness, I really like Marth's, but I can still kill y'all with Warios.
 * Gulpin. He's fun. Manaphy is really cool. They can switch bodies of fighters :) Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  02:52, January 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * I honestly can't decide for myself. But the Pokemon I like the most are Metagross, Deoxys, Entei, Ho-oh, Weavile, and Bellossom. They're pretty much effective in their own innovative way. "We'll find Dr. Wahwee!" 03:04, January 16, 2012 (UTC)Ouroburos.TheNewSaurian
 * I like Latios the best, as he's like a devastating blur. However, I do like Deoxys, Piplup, Latias, and Togepi. Element Knight 375, January 15, 2012.
 * I generally enjoy larger stages, as they allow me to set up attacks and have enemies come to me. And then pay for it. I just don't like small stages. My absolute favorite is a custom made stage, in which U shaped box is covered by an upside down U, which is then covered by another U. No one can die if they hide in the middle. My brother dislikes it though. This COMBO KILLER is a large stage. My next top two are also custom built. One is my brother's which features 2 cages in the top corners, a spike platform between them, a four square platform in the middle, which has spikes immediately under it, kept in by blocks and topped with ramps point outward. We call it spikeville, and CPU players almost always get caught between the middle and the spikes, quickly racking up damage. It is the only small stage I really like. My final favorite is called Spike City, and is a mix of almost all spikes, and ice. Ultra madness! I love creating stages, and we have a couple really excellent ones. Like THE BATTLEFIELD* (mine), a Siege type city (that I forget the name of), Alpha T's Factry (no spelling mistake) (mine), SLOW & BORING (his), LADDER WARS (his, covered in ladders and playing Waluigi Pinball!) and OMEGA CASTLE (mine). We have others, but they aren't as notable. Maybe I'll get a picture of them. Beyond custom stages, I like Luigi's Mansion for the Boos, and the Mario stages for the music and cleverness. And Mushroom Circuit for the Shy Guys. :D Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  21:12, January 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * My favorite is by far the Maze Sample, as it's a nice big place where you can escape trouble if need be, but still be able to fight effectively. I also like one I created, the Cradle, which consists of two ramps facing each other, set off at either end by two blcoks on either end as well as two in the middle, with fall-through platforms above it and alterneting stable/unstable blocks at the top. The only downside is occasional difficulty in getting players out. Element Knight 375, January 17, 2012.

01/17/12: If you could have any character join the Brawl, who would it be?
 * I kinda would like Mega Man, but it would be too easy to give him powers beyond S-tier. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  21:22, January 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * If I had to pick one, I'd say Mii characters because I was astounded that they weren't in Brawl. However, if I had to pick a big fancy established character, it would be Toad hands down. Element Knight 375, January 19, 2012.
 * I would go with Sora and Roxas. Because they could prove some effectiveness for SSBB. Plus two of their games are on Nintendo DS. :) Ethanthegamer 23:03, February 25, 2012 (UTC)

01/18/12: Which series do you think deserves a new game more, Ice Climbers or Pokemon? 01/19/12: What do you think of the Boom Blox series?
 * Depending on how well the popularity for the franchise is, I'd rather the Ice Climbers have a future installment. As much as I love Pokemon (well... not the anime, because recently, I can say that got significantly worse once 4Kids lost the license; which is a shame since along with the 2003 TMNT series, Pokemon was the only thing they got right), one can agree that the franchise is at a point where Nintendo/Game Freak should possibly think about taking a hiatus. Not a long one, though... "I'm getting a raging clue right now!" 03:59, January 19, 2012 (UTC)Ouroburos.TheNewSaurian
 * Pokemon has way more titles, so I'd side with Ice Climbers. In fact, some one here is working on an article for the sequel. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  21:22, January 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * You? What do I receive if I answer correctly? "I'm getting a raging clue right now!" 21:28, January 19, 2012 (UTC)Ouroburos.TheNewSaurian
 * I usually don't say this often, but Ice Climbers deserved to fade into obscurity. Ice Climbers to me is like how the original Tetris was to Ouroburos, a game that I hate a lot. I mean, the game is really difficult and pointless: jump to the top of the mountain; no climbing. When you jump you're used to the Mario and Kirby formula where you'll jump through the platform and land on it. Not in Ice Climbers. You have to jump and hit each tiny segment of the platform for it to give and for you to go through it. Now this is in no way showing bias towards one of my favorite series known as Pokemon, because it has a few flaws. For one it fails to make decent spinoffs (Pokemon Ranger, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, and Pokepark Wii are the ones I'm talking about) with the exceptions of the Pokemon Rumble games and the Pokemon Stadium games (the original two, because the following two were poorly made). So I'd have to say Pokemon on this one. But it should be a good spinoff or a mainline game, otherwise I won't tolerate it. Beecanoe 00:32, January 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd like to begin by saying that the someone working on the new Ice Climbers title is so called ME!!!! Woo-ooooo! As such, I think Ice Climbers should have a new title. However, I fully agree with Beecanoe that the first title was too boring and too difficult, but if there were to be a remake, I'd like to say that it would be an updated version of the template, similar to the New Super Mario Bros. Wii. I do think Pokemon should have another title, though, and I have an idea for one that I may very well write up in the near future. Element Knight 375, January 19, 2012.
 * Remaking a bad game into something badass reminds me of an article I made a while back, called Mario Bros.: The Underground. It's the sequel to the more obsure game of the three classic Mario NES titles (Donkey Kong, Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros.) and adds more to it than just flipping enemies and kicking them off screen, adding punches, kicks, special moves, new enemies, new characters, new levels, and boss fights. I'm guessing that's what you're going to do with the new Ice Climbers: remake it and add new elements to make it much better than the original. Beecanoe 15:40, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

01/20/12: What's your favorite Star Wars title? 01/21/12: (Question by Geniusguy445) Which console do you spend the most time playing on? 01/22/12: If you play flash games, which site do you spend the most time on? 01/23/12: What's been your favorite application of the Wii's motion controls? Why?
 * I don't particularly find any of the Star Wars video games to be that memorable and/or enjoyable... with the exception of that one racing installment for the Nintendo 64. I forgot what that title was called. But anyway, if there's one game in the franchise that comes EXTREMELY close to my expectations, then that's pretty much Star Wars: Battlefront 2. Speaking of Star Wars, I also found Yoda, Darth Vader, and The Apprentice to be rather unorthodox (and simply overpowered) for Soul Calibur IV; which is why Ezio from Assasin's Creed 2 will be a much more appropriate guest character in the forthcoming Soul Calibur V installment.

 * I think that in terms of long-time enjoyment, I'd go with Star Wars Battlefront or Star Wars Battlefront II. However, I really enjoy the duelling mode in Revenge of the Sith, and Bounty Hunter is a classic favorite of mine that my dad always wants me to play, regardless of whether I'm into something else at the time. Element Knight 375, January 21, 2012.
 * The most recent game that I've played was Lego Star Wars complete saga. I have played battlefront, part of Force Unleashed, and the demo of the second FU. Battlefront I played years ago when I wasn't great at shooter games, and really hated them for the difficulty of staying alive and encountering people who play with you only to eliminate you. Even when you are on the same team. I enjoy Lego Star Wars, and I love the concept of Force Unleashed. So that may rank the highest.

 * Well I used to spend most of my time on the PlayStation 2 because of Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts junk. :) But since I've lost my white PS2 Memory Card (lord, please don't let it be for good). : I've spent much less time on my PlayStation 2. But then came my new PlayStation 3 that I got for Christmas! ^_^ But since there arn't a helpful games that I can play plus NO insecure wi-fi point, I've spent less time on THAT gaming system as well. :( THEN came my Nintendo 3DS I got for Christmas the next year. And now I'm currently playing on it daily. :D Ethanthegamer 23:21, January 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Usually PC, because I spend the most time on it doing school work. However, i recently have been playing few games on it, and playing a bit more on the Wii. I usually play Wii every Sat. with my brother, but I've been busy. 3rd most would be xbox, as my friend has it, and that's where I've played Gears 2, Halo Reach, Battlefield (#?), and one or two others. I like playing on consoles where I can play great games with someone else on the same console. Who can actually play a bit. That would be the Wii and the Xbox. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  03:22, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * For me, it definitely varies. It used to be that I would spend all my time on the PS2, but then that fell out of circulation once I got my Xbox and Wii. Despite the fact that I typically play Battlefront II and Jedi Academy on the Xbox, recently I've been only playing on the Wii. Element Knight 375, January 22, 2011.
 * For me that would be Newgrounds. I like to just interact with the many talented people there. Also I go to Armor Games to get my daily fix of Conartist. I just love to play Crush the Castle and Last Stand games. Sammyfun1 6:50 PM, January 22, 2012
 * For flash games and just about any other game, I usually play on either Addicting Games or Mofunzone. Sometimes I will go on Newgrounds to play games, but it's usually to watch flash videos. My favorite flash games are Super Smash Flash 2 and Super Mario Bros. Crossover (which by the way is getting a kick-ass update sometime in the next three months). Beecanoe 02:08, January 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Most of the time, I will be on Andkon, Miniclip or Armour games. I don't like most of the games at Addicting games, and I'm occasionally on Newgrounds. But I spend most of my time on Andkon, playing Zombotron, Raze, or some other action or platformer. For Miniclip, I love Commando Assult and a few other games. As for branding, most of the games that I love the most are either by Jmtb02 (avail on Armour games or jmtb02.com), or Nitrome (avail on Miniclip, Andkon or Nitrome.com). They have some of the best games I've played. In fact, if you want most of the games I play, one can be found @ the List of GG reviews. I recommend most of those games. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  02:52, January 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * On Beec's mention, I decided to play Super Mario Bros. Crossover and it is fantastic. I love the format and the classic characters, as well as the sensibility of the powerups applied to the characters. Therefor, it's my favorite. Element Knight 375, January 27, 2012.
 * I really like all that was put in to Wii Sports Resort. As good as the New LoZ game should be, I haven't played it, and I doubt that it uses as actions with the remote as WSR. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  23:40, January 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, believe me my friend, the motion controls in Skyward Sword outclass Wii Sports Resort by a pretty good bit. However, If I had to pick a second option it would probably be Wii Sports Resort. Element Knight 375, January 27, 2012.

01/24/12: Aside from SSBB, do you have a favorite level builder? If so, why?
 * I don't really have a favorite level builder, because most level builders are for puzzle games, and good challenges are hard to make. Brawl is the only one that I've seen that lets you build levels which don't need super planning abilities. Beyond that, Electric Box has a fairly decent level builder, one where I basically filled the level with as much as possible to make the end be powered. Plus, the only thing necessary was to rotate the mirrors. I still like it. And, now that I think about it, Super Mario Bros Flash has a fairly decent level builder too. I still use Brawl's the most. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  23:40, January 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * I kind of like the one in Boom Blox Bash Party. The one in Boom Blox was semi-OK, but major flaws include limited characters, faulty interaction, and the instant death of characters upon being hit. Granted, the placement of elements isn't as good as in Brawl, but my preference is doing "war levels," where I build an arena and put in characters from opposite teams to make them battle each other, and then use the move tool to influence it. So, that's my winner. Element Knight 375, January 27, 2012.

01/25/12: What's your favorite shooter game (first person or not doesn't matter)?
 * Gears. No contest (ohhh). The fact that you have to plan cover, and how close you have to be to your partner, along with levels and weapons to take down different types of enemies that change every wave; the series offers so much. Excellent multiplayer for only 2 people (I've only played Gears 2), you can't rush into situations without thinking. Plus, the game offers a challenge that is reminiscent of a mix between old Nintendo games and new ones. Basically, you know that you will fail to complete a round more often than not. And as much as that is terrifying, you realize the importance of an ally and how winning the round doesn't matter as much. The biggest consequence is a score and level reset. I came to realize that it is about having fun, and as tense as the game is, you can laugh at how absurd the situation is of fighting monsters with five times the armor against bullets as you. And that's just on Horde mode. The campaign is extremely epic, and also very rewarding. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  23:40, January 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * I played Goldeneye 007 as a little kid and even today, so that holds a special place in my heart. But, 007 Nightfire is pretty advanced, too. However, I think that the first person mode in either Star Wars Battlefront or Star Wars Battlefront II would be my favorite, because of the better appearances and shooter experience. Element Knight 375, January 27, 2012.

01/26/12: Outside of Nintendo, what's your favorite minor series (one that all the masses haven't heard of)? 01/27/12: Which video game do you like the music best on? How come?
 * I absolutely love Raze and Rubble Trouble. Nintendo has my favorite consoles and characters; humor and music of video games, Nitrome is the same for flash games. Rubble Trouble is an excellent series by Nitrome, one that has immense humor and challenge to safely remove unusual buildings from different areas. Raze is another favorite (not by Nitrome), and ranks as the best flash (platform) shooter on the market. VALVe has amazing games, but I still love the companies like Nitrome who show the quiet brilliance of a lesser known company. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  23:40, January 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sly Cooper. No contest at all. The gameplay is excellent, I love the characters, there are plenty of titles, and above all, the missions make perfect sense. They show a sense of strategy worthy of praise by real thieves and they are all interesting enough that the replay value is high. Even if you just revisit the world, the fun is still there because you can pickpocket, find hidden treasures, or just go around and fight for fun. I especially like the function in the third title where you can go back and replay individual missions, blus the cheat codes where you can physically replay entire parts of the worlds. I could go into infinite detail, but let's just leave it that the series is my favorite. Element Knight 375, January 27, 2012.
 * Metal Slug for me. To be quite honest, it's actually one of the fewer shooting games that I wouldn't ever shun at all... perhaps because of the amount of innovation SNK put into the installments (by "innovation", I'm referring to the platformer elements, which work very well). Most of the titles are just SO action-packed and riveting that even a friend could join in the mayhem! I even made myself an order for what games I rank as greatest to weakest: Metal Slug 3 > Metal Slug 5 > Metal Slug X > Metal Slug 6 > Metal Slug > Metal Slug 2 > Metal Slug 4. There's such a reason why MS7, MSXX, Metal Slug (the 2006 3D title), and any of the other lesser-known Metal Slug titles aren't ranked... in which I haven't played them nor have I seem much gameplay footage.

 * Splinter Cell, FTW! I know that the franchise is pretty well known (at least the first 3) but the seires is just soo epic. Even the bad games like Double Agent (Xbox 360 version) and Conviction. The graphics are always above average and revolutionary (even Conviction). Gameplay is also very good. As usual it's usually as realistic as Tom Clancy gets!!! (That's pretty realistic!) 07:23, January 27, 2012 Sammyfun!
 * The Legend of Zelda takes this one by ten miles. Why? Because it flawlessly fits the environment every time. The theme song is an adventurous, actiony song that's built for a hero. The Hyrule Field theme is perfect for watching a horse running through a field (which, when you get right down to it, is what it was meant for), and the Twilight Princess theme, don't get me started. It is so fantastic. Here's a link to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39yubo73dfs. Take my advice and watch it. Element Knight 375, January 29, 2012.
 * Basically any game by Nintendo is guaranteed to be epic. I've always loved the music in Mario games, especially the full symphony songs of Galaxy, but Legend of Zelda are also incredible. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  21:59, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

01/28/12: Who would win in a fight, Solid Snake, or Aragorn from the Lord of the Rings? 01/29/12: What's your favorite Let's Play series? Do you prefer ones that are walkthroughs, or that are just gameplay? 01/30/12: The month of January is just about over (I'll miss it eventually), so let's honor it by answering the question, what game to you resolve to finish next? 01/31/12: Which is better, the Zelda series or the Mario series?
 * I think Aragorn would take this one. If he can face down trolls, hundreds of orcs and Uruk Hai, goblins, and Ringwraiths, he would easily be a match for one covert agent who can be beaten by a plumber in a cute little red hat. Element Knight 375, January 29, 2012.
 * I really enjoy the Let's Play Paper Mario, by Miles Luigi. He does a good job of showing the gameplay, and explaining everything that must be done, but also includes some background and other explanations in his videos. Plus, I love Paper Mario. My next fav isn't Let's Play, but are the super skills videos of NSMB Wii. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  21:59, January 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * I favor the Wiiviewer Let's Play for The Legend of Zelda. He makes honest efforts not to cheat and yet somehow manages to remember the locations of all the dungeons and even secrets, while I can't even find level 2 yet. His Let's Play for Paper Mario is pretty good, too. Element Knight 375 04:37, January 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't actually have a particular favorite series, but the Let's Plays I prefer for the most part are usually done by gamers who are playing for the fun of it... and not just to get everything 100% like some kleptomaniacal overlord; examples include those done by BrainScratchComms, TheRunawayGuys (to some extent), and ClementJ642. "I'm getting a raging clue right now!" 08:17, January 31, 2012 (UTC)Ouroburos.TheNewSaurian
 * Possibly The Golden Compass (Playstation 2). There's this one particular part where I'm at the ship level and apparently I'm confused in what to do. In the future, maybe that problem can finally be... {puts on sunglasses} Settled. YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! "I'm getting a raging clue right now!" 08:17, January 31, 2012 (UTC)Ouroburos.TheNewSaurian
 * Goldeneye 007. Almost done, but in the middle of a shootout mission that you have ~5 minutes to complete, that doubles as an escort type mission. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  04:05, February 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd say I'd like to finish the classic Legend of Zelda. I think I now know how to find the next couple dungeons, and I'd like to finish it for the sake of doing so. Element Knight 375 03:57, February 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Depends on the rating system. For story, contrast, continuous challenge and improvements, Zelda. For fun, enjoyable, challenges, multiplayer action, Mario is better. Both have excellent music, constantly improving gameplay, increasing appeal to all ages, more in-depth stories and more. But I much prefer Mario overall to Legend of Zelda. The many challenges and very diverse gameplay is quite enjoyable even to a veteren of the series. I haven't been able to get into LoZ yet. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  04:05, February 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think they're probably about even, but from an all-around perspective I like Zelda for the music and for the character of Link, who I find to be one of my favorite characters in any video game ever. The only drawback to Zelda for me is the extreme length and difficulty in finding your way around. Still, the series is quite enjoyable when played with someone else. Element Knight 375 03:57, February 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * The Mario games are better to me. I haven't grown up around Zelda games sadly, but now that you mention it...I haven't grown up around a colossal amount of games!!! O_o Ethanthegamer 23:03, February 25, 2012 (UTC)

02/01/12: What video game would you feel most comfortable sitting down and just playing at any time, even if you're into another game at the time? 02/02/12: What's your favorite real location on Earth that's been in a video game? What I mean is, what real location in a game do you enjoy playing in the most?
 * Two words: Tetris... Attack. Obviously I claim to be one of the most vicious masters of the game. To further improve on my skills, I attempt to defeat Level 7 CPUs during Vs. Mode; just wow! Even a Level 7 (which is the most powerful CPU rank, if you must know) can't surpass me. One day, I want to meet up with a formidable player that can match up to my potential who actually knows a thing or two about Tetris Attack... in order to challenge him/her in a Vs. Battle. "I'm getting a raging clue right now!" 06:36, February 2, 2012 (UTC)Ouroburos.TheNewSaurian
 * Basically most flash games. Many of the console games I have are multiplayer, or more fun with someone else, so I don't go and start playing. Some games like Paper Mario or 3d Mario platformers require chipping away, so i may play them, but it is unlikely. Others require massive time commitments, like Mario Party 2. And I don't have extreme patience for some games alone, so I rarely play those others. Usually, I play internet games, like Raze 2, or go on the wiki. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  16:40, February 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * I would feel fine sitting down and playing SSBB at any time. Mario Kart is pretty good, too. One of the Battlefront titles might call my attention, but I have to get on, like, a hot streak in order to keep playing, most of the time. So, Brawl remains at the top of my list. Element Knight 375 03:02, February 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * I could sit my ass down around my PlayStation 3 and Nintendo 3DS. On my PlayStation 3, I just go to Music Unlimited and start playing some music. And when I'm reading a XXX story on The Transformation Story Archive site, I just let the music play on. :] Ethanthegamer 23:03, February 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright, I guess I'll answer. My favorite is Istanbul. There's a driving level there in 007: From Russia With Love where you're allowed to just drive all around and destroy cars, by ramming them, shooting them, hitting them with a piston, or just plain using evasive maneuvers and causing them to crash. There are a couple of other levels in Istanbul that I loved in that game, as well. Element Knight 375 19:10, February 5, 2012 (UTC)

02/03/12: Which is better, Mario Kart Wii or Mario Kart 7? 02/04/12: Judging from what you've seen, which is the better run-and-gun game, Medal of Honor, or any game from the Halo series?
 * {shrugs} Neither, to be honest. And only because I haven't seen enough gameplay footage from these two titles to actually judge... nor have I played them, also. I like the most is Mario Kart 64 and Double Dash (despite the slight change in formula for that installment) "I was frozen today!" 03:46, February 4, 2012 (UTC)Ouroburos.TheNewSaurian
 * It's completely Mario Kart Wii for me. The gameplay mechanics were great, the controls were fantastic, the graphics were excellent, and they stayed true to the previous titles by adding in courses from previous games, and I thought that was a really nice thing to do, as it made me remember the older tracks I saw from when I was younger. Plus, I like the large character roster as well. Element Knight 375 17:47, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Mario Kart 7 is actually amazingly epic. Beyond the fact that Shy Guy is playable, the mechanics work well, and it gives a new angle on the series. They did an excellent job. However, I'll still be playing MKWii, as I don't have a 3DS to play on. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  03:50, February 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Mario Kart Wii will be my eternal favorite of the two, because it has more interactive controls, better graphics, better levels, and better multiplayer. Although it was an epic advantage towards MK7 to add Shy Guys to the roster. Element Knight 375 05:00, February 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Mario Kart 7. 'Nuff said. XD 23:03, February 25, 2012 (UTC)Ethanthegamer
 * I like Halo better, just cuz. Well, Halo Reach. But I'd rather play a real game, like Gears. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  03:50, February 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * I tend to lean towards Medal of Honor, as I tend to enjoy the WWII setting as something more real and believable. I've also heard that it is excellent, and that's word from a great friend of mine who I trust about gaming. However, I've never actually played either of them myself yet. Element Knight 375 05:00, February 7, 2012 (UTC)

02/05/12: Who's your favorite character in the Mario series? 02/06/12: Who's your favorite superhero in any game?
 * Does Shy Guy count? :D I love Shy Guys. And Boos. And Paper Mario fuzzies. (They have to be from Paper Mario, otherwise, they're terrible). Clubbas, Spikes (the enemy), and the like. Duplighosts. Dry Bowser, Bowser, Bowser Jr., Ludwig Koopa. Reznors. I really like Luigi, much more than Mario. Peach, Daisy, Rosalina are all great. Pauline is not. Kritters are the best character in the DK series related to Mario. Lumas are cool. Um, Shy Guys, too. And Spy Guys, and Sky Guys, and Fly Guys, and... bloopers are actually pretty cool. The best person is Luigi, and the best species is Shy Guy or Clubba. If you want more people, that I like, go to my page on the Super Mario wiki. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  03:50, February 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think Shy Guys are probably best as a species for their comic nature. I also enjoy Lumas and Cataquacks for their originality. For bosses, my favorite is probably Ludwig Van Koopa, as he has the "evil villain" thing nailed. Rosalina is my favorite princess, and Toad is my favorite main-canon character. Element Knight 375 05:00, February 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Green Lantern. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  22:29, February 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * This is a tough one...although the crowd I'd have to pick from is the rosters of Justice League Heroes or Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. I actually enjoyed the character Deadpool very much, because he had a good sense of humor and put a stupidly funny light over bad situations. However, I'm gonna have to pick from my experience from every superhero game I've ever played, and because of that, I'll have to say Spider Man because of my constant playing of the first two PlayStation titles as a kid and my neverending enjoyment of Spider Man 2, in addition to the fact that Spidey's probably my favorite superhero in real life. "I'll kill you with my sword!" Element Knight 375 03:42, February 10, 2012 (UTC)

02/07/12: What's your favorite game based on a TV show?
 * I actually enjoyed The Fairly OddParents: Shadow Showdown for the PS2. It was challenging, and also had an element of whimsy, plus the gameplay mechanics and controls were better than in the previous title. I'm also a pretty big fan of the Spongebob Squarepants titles, because they were just something you would want to keep playing. "I'll kill you with my sword!" Element Knight 375 03:42, February 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't like a lot of games based on TV shows, as gnerally the game makers massacre the title. Goes the same for some movies from some books. Percy Jackson. Case in point. And movies not in the same style as the TV show that they're about. Usually, crossing mediums is a bad idea. Less from books into movies, as that is most of the movies these days. They just massacre series like Eragon. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  01:46, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

02/08/12: What's your favorite sports title? Why? 02/09/12: Which is better, Sonic Heroes or Sonic Generations? Why?
 * Mario Strikers Charged. Super fast, super fun, super chaotic, multiplayer action. It was done so very well. Mario Super Sluggers is a close second. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  22:29, February 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Mine may actually be Mario Sports Mix. It was creative, engaging, and pretty fun, plus it had some effective multiplayer. However, Top Spin for the Xbox is one of my definite favorites, too. It had masterful graphics, good gameplay mechanics, and excellent player. However, I still think Mario Sports Mix is number one. "I'll kill you with my sword!" Element Knight 375 03:42, February 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Mario Sports Mix is insanely cool. I didn't have it when I posted this last. I still like MSC better, as it is a bigger title, rather than the party feel of Sports Mix. But it does what it is good at. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  01:46, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Mario Power Tennis/Mario Tennis: Power Tour. Since I've played both these games when I was younger, I guess I'm gonna have to "do it to it". ^_^ 23:03, February 25, 2012 (UTC)Ethanthegamer
 * For me, it's pretty much Sonic Generations. Why? Because Generations brought back a lot of nostalgia from my childhood days while playing the Genesis titles. Not only that, but the visuals are impressive, the controls are smooth, the writing is once again clever, and most of all, the gameplay never ceases to amuse me. Furthermore, you can have any song from their respective installments implemented into either Act or boss level you're playing in. Bonus! And while I liked Sonic Heroes (aside from the atrocious writing, the bare-bones plot, and the downgraded voice acting in comparison to Sonic Adventure 2), Sonic Generations can easily hit it out of the park, any day of the week. ;) "I was frozen today!" 14:15, February 11, 2012 (UTC)Ouroburos.TheNewSaurian
 * Sonic Heroes was the single only Sonic game I ever owned, and I returned it because I ended up hating it. I'm just...not...a...fan...of...Sonic. HOWEVER, Sonic Generations did hold some interest for me because I came close to buying Sonic the Hedgehog 3 for the Virtual Console. Gameplay footage of Sonic Generations reminded me of that format, so it stands to reason that I would enjoy that far more than Sonic Heroes. In conclusion, mine goes to Generations.

02/10/12: Do you like music-based games? If so, which one is your favorite? 02/11/12: Which game is your favorite party game, that you would play most happily at a party? Why? 02/12/12: Which game has the plot you like the least of all your games? Why?
 * Music-based (a more proper term in my opinion being "rhythm") installments are actually games I can really relax and just have craploads of fun with every once in and a while (just don't hear me sing on either Rock Band or Guitar Hero 5... you might as well have nightmares). My most favorite of all is pretty much Guitar Hero 5, itself. Why? GH5 is the one in the franchise that made me have an incredible fondness for the series. If only I still had that game and played songs from "Du Hast" by Rammstein to "Blue Orchid" by The White Stripes, you would see a wide smile spread across my face. It looks like this: :'] "I was frozen today!" 14:15, February 11, 2012 (UTC)Ouroburos.TheNewSaurian
 * Music games are OK for me...but it kinda has to be the right one. Most of the musical games I see seem like ones that I won't enjoy at all, because music isn't especially my thing. However, I very, very much enjoyed Wii Music for its very wide variety of instruments, different gameplay functions, mini-games, and songs. I always love playing "Mr. Postman" because it's one of the songs on the Beatles albums that I used to listen to since I was really little, and it held tons of nostalgic value for me. That's definitely my favorite one. "I'll kill you with my sword!" Element Knight 375 18:22, February 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * I enjoy playing Band Hero for music games. A new game Liight, is also pretty amazing, combining music and puzzle and light. I enjoy it. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  21:28, February 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * I say Rhythm Heaven. Even though I didn't actually get the game, I DID play a demo version through my friend, Destiny's Wii on Nintendo Channel while I was staying at her place! And it's gonna be a blast when I buy the Retail version!! Ethanthegamer 23:03, February 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * Mario Party works decently, but I more often play Brawl. New players every round. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  21:28, February 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree, Brawl is probably my favorite as well, because of the heat of the battler. Party games like Wii Party and Mario Party would be good as well, I suppose. Mario Kart Wii would also be a big it as well, I would imagine. "I'll kill you with my sword!" Element Knight 375 00:25, February 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * DJ Hero 2. When I was staying at my aunt's house, I played some songs on my cousin, Jaden's Wii. It was great! That was the reason why I reborned the DJ Hero 3 article (though no one cared to contribute. :/)! If I saw a game like the one I'm talking about at a party, I'd go maximum wild!!! Ethanthegamer 23:03, February 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * Most of my games have a cool plot, or don't need one. Mainly the latter. So I can't really complain. Though what is UP with Peach making Mario go on an adventure every friggin' time she makes a cake! Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  01:46, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

02/13/12: Today was the day of the Westminster Dog Show! In honor of this, who's your favorite animal in any game? Or do you favor pet games over pet characters?
 * Pet characters/Animal characters > animal games. Unless its DK, who isn't a pet. I don't liek pet games. I really like Rambi, from DKC:R. And Clubbas, and koopas and boos and bloopers and every animal enemy in Mario. No animals outside those type of games exist other than Mr. Resetti and the WSResort dog. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  01:46, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

02/14/12: Well, since it's now Valentine's Day, I guess I'll honor it in my question; which is your favorite video game couple?
 * I like how Daisy and Luigi are together. Where Mario & Peach are obvious, the other two are more in the shadows comparitively. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  01:46, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

02/15/12: Which is better, Oddworld or Metroid, as a series?
 * Never played Oddworld, so Metroid is better. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  01:46, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

02/16/12: Who's the most evil video game character you've ever seen?
 * I'm not particularly sure on this one, but someone who comes close to this area in my personal opinion is either M. Bison ("Vega" in Japan) from Street Fighter or Dracula from the Castlevania series. I'd also put my money on Sigma from the Mega Man X franchise. "I was frozen today!" 23:59, February 19, 2012 (UTC)Ouroburos.TheNewSaurian
 * For me, I think it would be Ganondorf. While Bowser and Wario have a funny kind of evil to them, Ganondorf is the incarnation of evil itself. You know in Twilight Princess he said that his greatest desire was to wipe out all light from the planet? Geez! And in Ocarina of Time he was actually "the King of EVIL!" He's so evil, that's what he was called. Anyway, he's my pick. "I'll kill you with my sword!" Element Knight 375 01:47, February 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Realize that Bowser and Wario are only evil compared to Mario. In the RPG's Bowser consistently helps Mario when it means he can get his castle back. He's only really kinda selfish. Ya know, after he gets his castle and his love, he's only mad at Mario for beating him so often. He's kind of worse now, but also a bit more desprate. Wario... he's just selfish and greedy. He got the tropheys in the Brawl campaign for himself, not Master Hand. For evil, Ganondorf is one of the highest out there. His series is all about the sharp contrast between ultimate good and evil fighting for the innocent. So beyond psychopathic Dimentio, weapon-crazed Smithy, childish Cackletta, monopolizing Princess Shroob, or the manipulative Black Jewel, Ganondorf has proved more evil than all. Only the Shadow Queen comes as close to Ganondorf, but he's not dead yet. She at least is homicidal because she's dead. Ganondorf has escaped death numerous times, and potential wise, he's much worse. He needed pure light to stop him, rather than just getting tired. On the scales, I decree than they shall never get married, or else we're all doomed. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  01:46, February 23, 2012 (UTC) (Or we could make a game and prove that.)

02/17/12: Which console have you had the longest?
 * I have actually had my Super Nintendo for the longest... beginning in 1997 and had it for about five to six years. I received another one later in 2004 and had that for another three years. And finally, for my third and current time, I purchased one last SNES near the end of 2009 and had that exact one since. In fact, I still play it as well! ;) The second longest console I kept is my Playstation 2, by the way... "I was frozen today!"[User:Ouroburos.TheNewSaurian|Ouroburos.TheNewSaurian]]
 * I also have had my SNES the longest, and I've had a single one for the entire time I've been in possession of one (and I also still play it). My second oldest console (which still works) is my Nintendo 64. For a third, I guess it would be my PlayStation, but I don't remember what happened to it. "I'll kill you with my sword!" Element Knight 375 01:47, February 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * The Wii, if you don't count the PC. Flash gaaames!! Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  01:46, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Aside from getting a new PlayStation 2 somewhere in my blurry ass past, I say the thing I just mentioned. Now if more PS2 Classics could just get added more... Ethanthegamer 23:03, February 25, 2012 (UTC)

02/18/12: Who's the most heroic game character you've seen so far?
 * Link friggin' stands for heroism, but I admire the Mario Bros. As much as Mario is sometimes overrated, he has done the things to back it up. I admire Luigi for braving his mansion, though. That deserves a reward. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  01:46, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * It would have to be Cole Macgrath from the inFamous series.(Good endings of course) he does whatever he can to save the world from the beast. Sploderdakota 22:00, February 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * Link. Absolutely, no contest Link. However, Marth is pretty heroic, as is Frodo from Lord of the Rings. So, they're probably my next two choices.

02/19/12: Which game would you like to come out in the future?
 * LOW 1, 2 and 3. Yeah, It's become a trilogy. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  01:46, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oooo, gosh this is hard. Ummm...let's see...well, if I had to pick a game idea of my own, it would hands-down be either Super Mario Heroes (even though it's gotten shockingly little attention) or The Element Chronicles. Those are my first two ideas and I stick by them. However, I have a few main-canon games that I'd like to see: another Oddworld side scroller, another SSB title, like Turbo, and Lego Lord of the Rings. "I'll kill you with my sword!" Element Knight 375 04:52, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm hoping ANY of ma GIWs. But mostly my AccelGames' originals originals. Ethanthegamer 23:03, February 25, 2012 (UTC)

02/20/12: Who would win in a fight, Mega Man, or Captain America?
 * They're pretty close, so it would depend on the stage. Cptn. America is practicly a robot master, so they are really close. It have to see the match to know for sure. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  01:46, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think it would be Captain America because he never ever ever ever EVER gives up, so he would outlast Mega Man under any circumstances. Although, Mega Man would put up some serious fight. "I'll kill you with my sword!" Element Knight 375 04:52, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

02/21/12: Which would you rather control in an RPG, fire or ice? 02/22/12: Who would win in a fight, Raichu or Meta Knight?
 * Lightning. Lightning beats all. It lowers defense, incapacitates, defends, and is controlled by Luigi. Lightning beats both. Sigh, as cool as fire would be, ice may be more useful. As long as it is all things cold. Then I can attack you with Liquid Nitrogen, or just freeze your body so much you stop moving and/or disolve because your atoms don't feel the need to stay together. Gosh, ice is epic. Oh, and at some point you guys should see my Ouroboros picture that matches Ouroburos. I'll post it on the FB page. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  01:46, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Forced to pick one of the two, I'd go with Fire, because I've had way better experiences with Fire in video games than Ice (Twilight...P-p-princess...Ice...B-b-b-boss...{shivers vehemently}). However, seeing as how the conversation is taking a bonus turn towards favorite elements, mine would be Air hands down, because it's a serious force of nature. Plus it's the Element Knight's favorite element in Epic Saga (oops! FUN FACT!) "I'll kill you with my sword!" Element Knight 375 04:52, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm gonna go with Meta Knight, as while Raichu is powerful, Meta Knight is very resilient, plus, "victory is his destiny," apparently. "All you gotta do is NOT reset!" Element Knight 375 03:56, March 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Meta Knight, Raichu may have crazy skills, but Meta Knight could take it out with one slash of his mighty sword. CrazieDave (Sorry, I don't know how to put down the date stuff and signature.)
 * Meta Knight. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  03:53, March 6, 2012 (UTC) Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445  (talk)  03:53, March 6, 2012 (UTC)

02/23/12: What's your favorite 007 (James Bond) game? Why?
 * From Russia With Love, man! It's the only throwback title I've ever seen, and I think I actually enjoy it more than I do the movie. The gameplay is great, the weapons are great, and the voice acting is phenomenal. It's just a great game. "All you gotta do is NOT reset!" Element Knight 375 03:56, March 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Goldeneye is the only one that I've played. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  03:53, March 6, 2012 (UTC)

02/24/12: If you were a character in The Element Chronicles, what would your character be like?

A defensive hard hitter. Lightning, and Earth. Use Earth to make metal, and electrocute everyone. Mwa ha ha! Cuz, bombs aren't really an element. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  03:53, March 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd have a longsword that I would use both back-handed and regularly, as well as a small round shield. My technique would be quick and precise, meaning the enemies would keep missing hits and then be struck with devastating, eh, strikes.  Meanwhile, my secondary weapon would be tonfa and my ranged weapon would be a short bow.  My two elements would be Air and Lightning, because I used to be all about Lightning and now my new favorite element is air.  Besides, can you even fathom stopping an electrified tornado?  Yeah right.  "All you gotta do is NOT reset!" Element Knight 375 03:12, March 7, 2012 (UTC)

02/25/12: What's your favorite video-game-based movie or TV show?
 * I'm gonna have to guess, Sonic the Hedgehog (OVA). I'm hoping to buy the DVD release someday. Ethanthegamer 23:03, February 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * Level Up is probably my favorite show and movie, as I constantly have that fantasy of playing video games in real life. War Games is pretty good too, but it's not as focused on gaming. "I'll kill you with my sword!" Element Knight 375 20:53, February 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Lego Star Wars has been one of the better film-based video games out there. That's where I stand. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  03:53, March 6, 2012 (UTC)

02/26/12: Which is your general preference among all video games, single player or multiplayer? Why?
 * If playing against CPUs counts as single player, then I choose that. Being in a family where few people like the games I like, it feels good to play as much as I want, and do it the way I like to. However, multiplayer can be fun against the right people. "All you gotta do is NOT reset!" Element Knight 375 03:56, March 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Single player for the genre, but Multiplayer for the fun. So when Gears, NSMBW, and such games allow a great campaign with multiplayer built in, I really enjoy it. I usually fail stupid ways on my own, and rage quit. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  03:53, March 6, 2012 (UTC)

02/27/12: Which is better, the Mortal Kombat or the Street Fighter series?
 * I like the Street Fighter series better, due only to less gore and violence. However, I did grow up with a couple old Mortal Kombat titles, both of which were good. So, it's basically a tie. "All you gotta do is NOT reset!" Element Knight 375 03:56, March 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think Mortal Kombat would be to serious of a fighting game for me. I don't really like those types of fighting games, so I might enjoy Street Fighter better. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  03:53, March 6, 2012 (UTC)

02/28/12: Now which is better, the Super Smash Bros. or the Final Fantasy series?
 * Super Smash Bros. That's really all I can say. "All you gotta do is NOT reset!" Element Knight 375 03:56, March 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * I like SSB better. I've never gotten into FF. I really like Mario Sports Mix, and SMRPG in their FF cameos. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  03:53, March 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Me too, but the big reason I don't like FF is that it's too complicated, too unpredictable, and too...Japanese. There I said it.  It's too anime-ish.  Element Knight 375 03:12, March 7, 2012 (UTC)

02/29/12: Which game of the ones you own would you say you play the least?
 * I pretty much play all my games to an extent, except for Jeopardy!, which plays well, but doesn't hold my interest. "All you gotta do is NOT reset!" Element Knight 375 03:56, March 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * For my games, it would have to be Metroid Prime:Corruption. I have to win the previous games first. Overall, I never play my brothers sports games. Well, alone anyways. NFL slapshot is decent enough. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  03:53, March 6, 2012 (UTC)

03/01/12: Among those people you know, who comes closest to you in gaming skill?
 * My brother, but that's on average. We have complementary skills, so it's hard to tell. I'm better at lining up headshots, but once he finds you, you're done. He has faster reflexes, I'm lucky. I pick heavy powerful characters, he picks lighter characters. An excellent team, but winning against each other depends on the game. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  03:53, March 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Geez, it's hard. Well, my dad and my friend Frank are definitely the contenders.  My dad can be crazy fun to play with, but Frank has a much shorter learning curve, has had more Nintendo and all-around gaming experience, and is more fun to bounce tactics off of.  So, I think I'll go with him, but my dad is a close second.  "All you gotta do is NOT reset!" Element Knight 375 03:12, March 7, 2012 (UTC)

03/02/12: Which is better, Capcom or Sega?
 * Sega. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  03:53, March 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Capcom gave birth to Street Fighter and Mega Man, but I've never been a fan of either, really. Sega, on the other hand, gave birth to Sonic, but also to Monkey Ball, which I find severely fun, what I've played of it, so ultimately, I pick Sega.

03/03/12: Who's your favorite character in any game series that has only appeared once in the entire series?
 * Dimentio. I guess I'm weird that way. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  03:53, March 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think Ghirahim is good, because he's a pretty well-developed character, with plenty of though put into him. I also like Tingle, but he's been in more than one title, so I suppose that doesn't much count. "All you gotta do is NOT reset!" Element Knight 375 03:12, March 7, 2012 (UTC)

03/04/12: What's your favorite emulator site? Where you can play classic games? 03/05/12: Which game do you think has too many sequels to it? 03/06/12: What franchise needs a racing game, do you think?
 * I downloaded Project64. It is a great emulator and you can play a ton of classics. CrazieDave (Sorry, I don't know how to put down the date stuff and signature.)
 * I love nintendo8.com . It has a vNES emulator that allows you to play all the old NES and arcade classics instantly, without payment! I love playing Double Dragon, Kirby's Adventure, and even Burger Time. By the way, CrazieDave, you can put down your signature by clicking the "more" button with the plus sign below it, in the top part of the box, and then just clicking "Signature." If you're confused by the four hyphens that pop up, that's normal, it will come out fine. "All you gotta do is NOT reset!" Element Knight 375 02:39, March 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Or you type four tildes. (~). top left on your keyboard, below ESC. Anyways, I like Virtual NES, and those sister sites. Though Vizzed is really good too. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  03:53, March 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * I am kind of disappointed that Mega Man is mostly comprised of (S)NES games. It still has potential. But whatever. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  03:53, March 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Two words: Final, Fantasy. It's at what, like 13 versions now?  That is waaayy too many.  Three is basically the real magic number.  However, Mega Man is a real candidate, with like 10 or 11 versions. "All you gotta do is NOT reset!" Element Knight 375 03:12, March 7, 2012 (UTC)
