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!

10/04/12: For those of you who have watched the Yogscast, who's your favorite member of the group?

10/05/12: What boss is most challenging in Ocarina of Time besides Ganondorf?
 * That's easy. Morpha is probably the hardest. I've been trying to beat him for three days! All the other bosses took about 3 - 40 minutes. - Al129023, 5:52 October 8, 2012
 * Well, I only just beat the Fire Temple in my copy of OoT for the N64, but so far, I think Phatom Ganon is kind of tricky. Volvagia is surprisingly easy when you have a strategy, and the other three from the first young Link period were pretty easy. "That's a lovely house you have there."

10/06/12: Which do you think is creepier, the Slender Man from Slender or the Endermen from Minecraft?
 * Woah, tricky. Both are mysterious. Both teleport. Both are almost completely black. I think Slender man is creepier and Endermen are scarier. Endermen aren't bad till you try a staring contest. Slender Man is just always creepy. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:12, November 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think the Slender Man is definitely more unnerving considering the fact that he's pretty much always behind you, and the worst part is, you can't really kill him, as he's too powerful. Endermen, on the other hand, are more physically dangerous, but only when you make eye contact for too long. I think the Slender Man is creepier overall. "That's the best thing I've heard all day!"

10/07/12: What's your favorite ocarina tune in Ocarina of Time? 10/13/12: There's been a lot of recent talk about games for the 3DS, Wii, and Wii U being released in Japan and being considered for the American audience as well. If you could have one of these games, either unreleased in the U.S. or already brought over, what would it be?
 * I have two. I love the Song of Time and the Song of Storms. Mainly because Song of Time is the main tune, and the Song of Storms messes up Guru-Guru 's windwill and he goes all crazy - Al129023, 5:55 , October 8 , 2012
 * I like the Song of Time as well, as it reminds me of the Temple of Time, which has always been awesome-looking; however, me favorite is the Song of the Sun, as it immediately restores daylight, and is also the beginning trill of the Hyrule Field Morning Theme, which is my favorite song of the game. "That's a lovely house you have there." Element Knight 375 (talk) 04:58, October 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * Song of Storms. I love to make Guru-Guru mad. UnknownHero123 07:54,October 20,2012
 * That's a valid point. X) "That's the best thing I've heard all day! Element Knight 375 (talk) 02:10, October 22, 2012 (UTC)

10/14/12: Which is funnier, Sumotori Dreams or Happy Wheels?

10/15/12: What's the scariest video game character in any game you've ever seen?

10/16/12: What's your opinion on movie games?
 * Most suck,sad really.They're just shallow attempts to make money,though we get some good ones here and there,and those make up for it,almost as if you forgot it was based on a movie.It's upsetting to have your favorite novel have an awesome movie,only for the videogame to be terrible.UnknownHero123,07:57,October 20,2012
 * Yeah, often times they're of poor quality because the companies making them aren't in the video game development industry. However, there are a few gems, like The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer and the two Lord of the Rings movie games. "That's the best thing I've heard all day!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 02:10, October 22, 2012 (UTC)

10/17/12: Which do you prefer, Super Meat Boy or Rayman Origins?
 * Rayman Origins,simply because I've never played Super Meat Boy :P UnknownHero123 8:00,October 20,2012
 * I've never played Super Meat Boy either, but I think it depends what your taste in games is more than anything else. That's why I like Rayman Origins better, too, because I've played through most of it and enjoyed it. "That's the best thing I've heard all day!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 02:10, October 22, 2012 (UTC)

10/20/12: If you had to be stranded on a deserted island for about a month, but could play one game to its fullest extent (online multiplayer, best graphical setting, saving, whatever), what would it be? 10/21/12: Do you have an interest in Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, or are you indifferent to it?
 * It's so hard to choose but, I'd definitely pick Batman:Arkham City,I mean sure it's a super hero game,but it's a good game IMO. UnknownHero123,07:59,October 20,2012
 * I'd really like a game that would tide me over for a long time (which is why I give you kudos on the Arkham City pick), so I might go with Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Xenoblade Chronicles, Minecraft, or The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. All great games that have lasting appeal. Although, something massively big like Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim might be great as well, although I've never played that (even though I plan to someday). "That's the best thing I've heard all day!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 02:10, October 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * I always love wide offering games, so maybe Minecraft. Or Gears. I'm bad when it comes to rage quitting though. I might hate either one by the end. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:30, November 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Maybe. That's why you'd probably want to bring something that's challenging and engaging, but not too frustrating. "That's the best thing I've heard all day!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 23:23, November 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Indeed I do, sir. Level 34 Redguard named Willardinho, Chief of the Companions, Boss of the Thieves' Guild, Thane of Whiterun, and Archmage of Winterhold, comin' right up!
 * Nice! I totally have an interest in Skyrim. I know a pretty good bit about it, and I've heard universally good reviews about it, and, most importantly, it seems like I would be really good at it with practice. Plus, I'm very interested in the dragon shouts. Particularly the FUS RO DAH!!! Ahem...anyway, if at any point soon I get an Xbox 360, or have any opportunity at all to play it, I will without hesitation. "That's the best thing I've heard all day!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 04:26, November 21, 2012 (UTC)

10/22/12: What's the worst jumpscare you've experienced in a video game?
 * I'm easily scared from little things and not scared from scarier things.... Anyway, I was playing Minecraft too intently and attacking a spider. Spiders lunge. If you are not ready for a massive spider with 8 disgusting legs of terror to jump at you in almost 3d, you get a little surprised. The other thing, no less terrifying, I've had a screaming Enderman teleport into me. All I saw was his scream filling up the entire monitor. Fricking Endermen. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:30, November 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Endermen can be pretty terrifying, yes. The worst jumpscare I've ever had myself was from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. A couple of my folks and I, an eight-year-old EK, had just finished going through the Snowpeak Ruins (or whatever it's called, I honestly don't remember for sure), and I wanted to fight the boss. However, little did I know that the docile little yeti's wife was transforming into the horrendously horrible Twilit Icicle that you were supposed to fight. And so, unflinching, after a few seconds, I found its terrifying face staring right at me. I didn't scream or anything, but I found it really hard to sleep at night for weeks, maybe months afterward. Since then, I've never had anything quite as bad. "That's the best thing I've heard all day!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 23:23, November 11, 2012 (UTC)

10/23/12: What's the hardest boss battle you've ever fought?
 * I actually don't know which boss battle was hardest for me. Though the closes answer I have so far is Devil May Cry 3 ones. "!@#$ you! I'm a Wartortle!" Ethanthegamer (talk) 02:21, November 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * I believe that. I actually have plenty of candidates; surprisingly, the bosses from the Lord of the Rings games were pretty hard for me, especially Shelob (dat spider wuz HUGE). Aside from that, I found that some of the bosses from Super Mario games were decently hard, as were some from Zelda (like Scaldera) and Xenoblade (like that giant spider thing) and Kirby and all that. It's a tough decision to make.
 * Definitely Shao Khan on Mortal Kombat. I burned the skin off my thumbs trying to beat that guy. But beat him I did, one triumphant afternoon in August 2011. BrawnerWilliam (talk) 01:38, November 21, 2012 (UTC)BrawnerWilliam

10/24/12: Which enemies are more annoying, Boos (Super Mario) or Scarfies (Kirby)?
 * I think Scarfies are worse. Boos aren't so bad because of their terrible slowness. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:30, November 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think they're equally annoying, because while Scarfies will mess you up if you cross them, enough Boos will just corner you and ruin your day. "That's the best thing I've heard all day!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 23:23, November 11, 2012 (UTC)

10/25/12: What do you think of Amnesia?

10/26/12: Do you like The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past better than the original Legend of Zelda?

10/27/12: Do you prefer The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time to Majora's Mask?
 * Ocarina of Time is much better. Majora's Mask is so annoying. I can say this with confidence. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:30, November 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * I personally prefer Ocarina of Time because you're not under as much pressure, but I think the two games are equally good, in that Ocarina of Time has a more adventurous feel, but Majora's Mask is more complex and also very tasteful in manner it elicits emotions from you. It makes you feel sad or scared at any given time, and you can get a lot of enjoyment out of collecting all the masks. "That's the best thing I've heard all day!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 23:23, November 11, 2012 (UTC)

10/28/12: Do you prefer The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker to The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess?

10/29/12: If you could have any video game made into a movie, what would it be?
 * My VG movies would be remade in live-action featuring celebraties such as Rihanna and Alicia Keys! Like Sonic the Hedgehog for example. ^_^ "!@#$ you! I'm a Wartortle!" Ethanthegamer (talk) 02:21, November 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, as a default, I'd kind of like to see a Legend of Zelda movie, just because I'd like to see how its makers would go about it. But for a more interesting choice, I might like to see a Xenoblade Chronicles movie. I admit I really enjoy the game, and it has a  FANTASTIC  story, such that I would love to see it translated into a movie. "That's the best thing I've heard all day!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 03:18, November 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Not Mario. Maybe Metroid. I'd be fine with Zelda. Have either of you people seen Wreck It Ralph? It's supposed to be amazing. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:30, November 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * I've never seen Wreck-It Ralph yet. I think its reviews are actually quite mixed, in that its references to video games are more overshadowed by pop-culture references. It also seems to make up original games based blatantly on other ideas, but not as exciting or fun. It might be OK. "That's the best thing I've heard all day!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 23:23, November 11, 2012 (UTC)

10/30/12: What's your favorite Lord of the Rings game?

10/31/12: What's the most unsettling game you've ever seen and/or played?
 * Ever heard of Eversion? Amnesia the dark decent? Slender? All very weird. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:30, November 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Amnesia and Slender I know well, and I think Slender is most unsettling in that you know you're always in danger, and if you turn around to try to see if you're being followed, you're likely to die. It keeps you highly on edge. Eversion, though, I've never heard of. "That's the best thing I've heard all day!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 23:23, November 11, 2012 (UTC)

11/02/12: What do you think is the catchiest song from the Sonic the Hedgehog series?

11/03/12: What's the most disgusting enemy you've ever seen in a video game?
 * Boomers from Gears are hideous. I think i win. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:30, November 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Necromorphs from Dead Space are probably about as disgusting, as are Boomers from Left 4 Dead. There are a whole lot of candidates, to be frank. "That's the best thing I've heard all day!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 23:23, November 11, 2012 (UTC)

11/04/12: If you had an SNES and could get any three games for it for free, what would they be?
 * I don't really love the SNES. I'd prefer maybe "which could you get remastered so that they're almost playable" Megaman 9 and 10. Beyond that, I'm not sure. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:30, November 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * I do kind of enjoy the SNES, because it's my oldest console. I think if I had to choose three to have that I don't already have, they would be Mega Man X, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, and maybe Super Castlevania IV or one of the Super Street Fighters. "That's the best things I've heard all day!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 00:10, November 12, 2012 (UTC)

11/06/12: Who's your favorite Mortal Kombat character?
 * It can be hard to tell sometimes. I like Sub- Zero, Scorpion and Reptile, and it would be a bad desicion ." Oh no, a Bom-Omb!" - Al129023 11:10 December 1, 2012

11/07/12: What breaks a game's immersion for you the most?
 * Freakin' Navi. Just kidding. Even prompts about action commands don't break immersion. Depending on the game, only the death screen can do that. And that's after about five seconds of staring. "Nononono don't kill me (killed). ... ... ... oh right, yes, try again." Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:30, November 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think the biggest immersion breakers are terrible AI, dysfunctional controller connectivity, and long loading screens. Nuff said. "That's the best thing I've heard all day!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 04:19, November 22, 2012 (UTC)

11/08/12: Which of the two Sonic Adventure games do you think is better than the other?
 * Well for the fact they're both awesomesauce! ^_^ Though in my opinion Sonic Adventure 2 is much more dark. ^o^ "Ah, yes, the American Pokemon. XD" Ethanthegamer (talk) 23:44, November 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * I've never actually played either of them, but from what I've seen, I enjoy Sonic Adventure 2 because of the music (namely "Live and Learn" and "Escape from the City.") "Everyone! Let's do this!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 04:19, November 22, 2012 (UTC)

11/09/12: Who would you rather meet in real life, Master Chief or Nathan Drake?
 * Probly Master Chief. Get his autograph. Sell it for billions. I don't know what's so great about Drake. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:30, November 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * I kind of agree. Drake seems cool, but Master Chief is awesome. He's like Microsoft's Link. "That's the best thing I've heard all day!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 00:10, November 12, 2012 (UTC)

11/10/12: What's your favorite Marvel-based game?
 * Pfft, easy: Marvel vs Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes. >=D Ethanthegamer (talk) 23:44, November 21, 2012 (UTC)

11/11/12: Do you think QuickTime events are annoying?
 * To me, they're much more ACTION-Y and exciting. Timmy's dad: "100% chance...of ACTION!!" "Ah, yes, the American Pokemon. XD" Ethanthegamer (talk) 23:44, November 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * It depends on how they're used. If they're used in the way the ones in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, where you do them over and over again to one-hit-kill a powerful enemy that would be more fun to kill the long way, then they're just a bother. However, they can be used in cool places to dodge or earn extra points, like in Sonic games.

11/13/12: What's your favorite zombie-related game?
 * Black Ops Zombies in the Pentagon. BrawnerWilliam (talk) 18:26, November 16, 2012 (UTC)BrawnerWilliam
 * Wow, that's a new one. Anyway, I think that the zombie game with the best scary atmosphere is Amnesia; I find myself kind of liking the way it remains subtle until it decides to startle you with monsters when you're off guard. "That's the best thing I've heard all day!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 06:05, November 17, 2012 (UTC)

11/15/12: Do you enjoy Angry Birds?
 * Yes, I think it'll become a gaming icon thanks to the console ports! ^_^ "Ah, yes, the American Pokemon. XD" Ethanthegamer (talk) 23:44, November 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Not particularly. I only ever played it once, and to be quite honest, I wasn't too impressed with it. It was tricky to get the conrtols right, and it felt repetitive after a while. "Everyone! ? Let's do this!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 06:15, November 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * I like some Angry Birds games like the new Star Wars one." Oh no, a Bomb-Omb!" - Al129023 11:12, December 1, 2012

11/17/12: What's your favorite tower defense game?
 * Well, so far, Dillon's Rolling Western. :D For my obviousness, my least tower defense is the South Park one. Not because it looks bad, I just hate the show overall. Handz down. >=P "Ah, yes, the American Pokemon. XD" Ethanthegamer (talk) 23:44, November 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * I hate the show overall as well. My favorite tower defense game isn't really a game, but more like a series of levels. I always like the tower defense stages in the Boom Blox games. "Everyone! Let's do this!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 04:19, November 22, 2012 (UTC)

11/18/12: What's your favorite orchestral music piece in any video game?
 * So far, the Kingdom Hearts series. Really fits Square Enix. ^_^Ethanthegamer (talk) 23:44, November 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * I like some of the orchestral remixes from the Sonic series, but most often, I prefer the music from the Zelda series; it just has such an epic and adventurous feel and it makes me feel really good whenever I listen to it. "Everyone! Let's do this!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 04:19, November 22, 2012 (UTC)

11/19/12: What's your favorite Resident Evil game?

11/20/12: What's your favorite world in any Super Mario game?
 * I would normally count for the 8th world, because from all most all Mario games the 8th world is final, with lava and volcanoes, and Bowser!" Oh no, a Bomb-Omb!" Al129023, 11:14 AM December 1

11/21/12: What's your favorite gun in any first-person shooter game?

11/22/12: What's your favorite dragon shout in? Skyrim?
 * Unrelenting Force! BrawnerWilliam (talk) 21:29, November 25, 2012 (UTC)BrawnerWilliam
 * Yeah, there's really no contest. ? Fus-Ro-to-the-Dah. "Everyone! ? Let's do this!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 06:15, November 26, 2012 (UTC)

11/23/12: Do you know of many games that have sequels worse than the originals?
 * Not really. I believe every sequal deserves a chance. Especially remakes! ^_^ "!@#$ you! I'm a Wartortle!" Ethanthegamer (talk) 00:33, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * There really aren't many sequels I've found worse than their originals; all the ones that weren't better were more like on par with the originals.  One thing I could possibly think of is LEGO Indiana Jones 2, which was glitchier and not quite as fun as the first one, and another shining example is Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. "Everyone!  Let's do this!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 09:02, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

11/25/12: What about sequels better than the originals?
 * I can think of one: Pokemon Black & White Versions 2. 'Nuff said. ^o^ "!@#$ you! I'm a Wartortle!" Ethanthegamer (talk) 00:33, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think that conceptually, Star Wars Battlefront II was better, even though the feel was worse.  I think that the best example of an improved sequel is Skyrim, but if I had to pick a more familiar one, I like Boom Blox: Bash Party better than Boom Blox.  "Everyone!  Let's do this!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 09:02, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

11/26/12: What's your favorite? Minecraft mod?

11/27/12: What do you think of Terraria?

11/28/12: What's your least favorite N64 game?

11/29/12: If you could have playing cards based on any game, what would it be?
 * Arkham Asylum / Arkham City. Imagine playing a joker card that says, "Let's put a smile on that face!" BrawnerWilliam (talk) 23:59, November 30, 2012 (UTC)BrawnerWilliam
 * That would be pretty cool actually.  I think it would be really unbelievably cool to have Zelda playing cards (in fact, those are already sold at the Fan Gamer website, I believe), but other than that, I;d like to see some Minecraft playing cards.  The red cards could have a redstone texture, the black cards could have an obsidian texture, and the suits could be a heart, a diamond, a pickaxe, and perhaps a torch. "Everyone!  Let's do this!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 09:02, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

12/01/12: What's your favorite non-official game?
 * I like some flash games, like a Warriors game made by some random guy, not really an official console game. - "Oh no, a Bomb-Omb!" - Al129023 11:17 AM December 1, 2012
