Day 1 - The very first video game.
The VERY FIRST video game I remember playing is Duck Hunt. Crazy that my mom allowed my first game to be a shooter, eh? Probably why I love Call of Duty so much ^_^

Day 2 - Your favorite character.
My FAVORITE, I mean ULTIMA FAVORITE character is...the awesome Aerith Gainsborough. Why? She was in the FIRST game that actually made me care about the characters, so when she died I CRIED like a baby. I was SO UPSET!!! I was about 12 or 13 at the time...and she's still my favorite [I'm 27 now]. LONG LIVE AERITH!!!!

Day 3 - A game that is underrated.
Hmmm...this is gonna be so hard because there's a lot of games out there that people won't even bother to try, yet it turns out to be a pretty awesome game. I'll make it a recent game and say Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City. As a HUGE Resident Evil fan, I was more interested in the story before the actual gameplay. After I got used to the gameplay, it was just the AI that annoyed the hell outta me. It brought more insight to a story we all knew as one sided. Umbrella is bad, Chris, Jill, Leon, they're all the good guys, they beat the B.O.W.s and lived to see another day. BUT WHAT HAPPENED IN BETWEEN? The Nemesis fight was one of my favorite parts, and being able to choose characters totally different from every RE game ever was pretty great, too. I was PRO when it came to using Four Eyes...I very much enjoyed making Mr. X my bitch. Did I mention the soundtrack was AWESOME???

Day 4 - Your guilty pleasure game.
I don't have any games that I play that I'm ashamed of. HOWEVER...I do feel guilty when I play Super Stardust HD [PS3]. Why, you may ask? Simple. The game is so addictive that I ignore EVERYONE while I play. I don't answer my phone AT ALL. All my PSN messages go ignored. When I crash, I rage more than any game I've ever played on Call of Duty. Then, I feel like an idiot after I'm done. I'm a terrible person D: LMAO Instead of a picture as usual, I'll include a video of my gameplay. YES. I love this game ^_^

Day 5 - Game character you feel you are most like (or wish you were).
Let's see...I think I'm a little like Lulu. I don't take crap from anyone, I tell it how it is, I'm a totally badass female, and I married a weirdo. Plus, I carry little dolls around with me. I consider my kids my dolls. It fits. :D
*********************************************************************************
10/23/12
Day 6 - Most annoying character.
After thinking REALLY long about this...about 30 minutes actually...I have finally come to the conclusion that the most annoying character is...Mimi Landgraab, specifically from The Sims [PS2]. She was the roommate from hell, her lazy ass never cleaned anything, and she didn't allow me to get a raging party for ONE WHOLE YEAR. Yes, I quit playing and came back with a vengeance over the course of a YEAR. Go to hell, Mimi.
*********************************************************************************

Day 7 - Favorite game couple.
This one was really easy for me to pick. Tidus and Yuna! Why? Because at first, you can't stand Tidus. He's a pain in the ass with an ANNOYING laugh. Yuna is the innocent summoner. Of course she falls for him. Of course they have an awesome first kiss scene. BUT THEN. BUT THEN! They pull a semi-Aerith on his ass. I cried when he jumped off the airship. That whole 'I can walk through you' part was terrible for my tear ducts.
*********************************************************************************

Day 8 - Best soundtrack.
OF COURSE I'm going to say the best video game soundtrack belongs to Final Fantasy VII. All four discs had music I could listen to over and over without skipping through the tracks. Not to mention the Piano Collections...Obviously, to anyone who's read my posts, Aerith was my favorite character...but I'm not going to put her theme here. I'll surprise you with a different track instead. :D

Day 9 - Saddest game scene.
Ok...this one was SO TOUGH for me, that I simply cannot choose between two scenes. SO, because so much awesome is in my DNA, I have the power to pick two! The picks are....
Ok...this one was SO TOUGH for me, that I simply cannot choose between two scenes. SO, because so much awesome is in my DNA, I have the power to pick two! The picks are....
1) Ghost and Roach's death scene from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. I choose this one because it's one of the games where I DEFINITELY did not see this coming, and when I saw it my jaw dropped and the tears just flowed like they were people I knew.I played this a few years ago, so being in my 20's and still crying for a game means the story was EXCELLENT. It still makes me cry today. Just hearing the music leading UP TO the scene breaks my heart, seriously.
2) Aerith's death scene from Final Fantasy VII. I chose this one because it's the FIRST game that made me cry. Like...CRY cry. Waterworks type of crying. I was young. It still makes me cry today.

Day 10 - Best gameplay.
I'm going to choose a game not many people may agree with. I don't want to choose an old game, nor a fairly new game. My game of choice is Resident Evil 5. I played, and still play, the hell out of this game. Campaign or DLC or Mercs, I NEVER get tired of this game. I bought it 3 times (the original, then GE, then GE+Move). Still willing to put some time into it, even after playing the campaign a million and eight times. ♥ RE5 ♥

Day 11 - Gaming system of choice.
Yes, the old school consoles gave me great memories, but my obvious gaming system of choice would be the PlayStations. Each one gave me games I never thought would be as great as they were. They kept me entertained for 50+ hours at a time, had memorable characters, and have never failed me in terms of not having an option of playing a badass game. So...here's to my favorite gaming system...THE PLAYSTATIONS! ♥

Day 12 - A game everyone should play.
I'm gonna change it up for this one. I would have normally answered with Final Fantasy VII and came very close to saying Resident Evil. However, my pick for this is: Super Mario 64. This is probably one of the best games EVERYONE can play...and I mean EVERYONE. My son Sora, who will be 4 in 10 days, can maneuver Mario all around the levels and can even get a star if it's a straightforward objective. ♥

Day 13 - A game you’ve played more than five times.
I've played so many games more than five times -_- Also, I believe this means COMPLETED more than five times...so I'll just randomly pick from my list and say Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo [HD Remix on PSN]. I remember playing this SO MANY TIMES until I could beat it on Expert Mode pretty fast. I love puzzle games and I love challenging ones...so here's my video of me beating the game on Expert Mode :D

Day 14 - Current (or most recent) gaming wallpaper.
I haven't used a gaming wallpaper in so long...it's usually of my kids nowadays. I'd put the one I have on my PSN profile, but it's a Dymanic LBP theme :) Instead, I'll put the one I used to always have back in the day...Bahamut vs Alexander from Final Fantasy IX.

Day 16 - Game with the best cut scenes.
Ok...after thinking about this and thinking about this...I wanna use a different game other than Final Fantasy...so I'll keep it close and say Kingdom Hearts. LOVED the story, all the cutscenes were just AWESOME, and if you've never played the original, you're seriously missing out. Just watch the intro and be amazed :D

Day 17 - Favorite antagonist.
Since I can't really seem to pick a favorite, I'll pick the one I was always hyped to see after whooping his ass: Sephiroth. Before he was the One Winged Angel, before they made him look like Marilyn Manson's stunt double...he was the misunderstood pain in the ass frozen in a damn cave. As cool as he is, I can't stand his ass.

Day 18 - Favorite protagonist.
I have WAY too many 'favorites' to pick just one, so I'll randomly chose: Aya Brea. Parasite Eve was one of my favorite games back in the day, and the story is just amazing. If you haven't played it, feast your eyes and ears on the stunning intro. BTW, the name of the track is called "Primal Eyes".

Day 19 - Picture of a game setting you wish you lived in.
It may sound weird, but I choose Midgar, Sector 5. The ONLY reason I choose this area is because this is where Aerith's home is...and her home is one the most peaceful, cozy area I could think of that's surrounded by the slums. It's a safe haven, and looks tranquil enough to assume it never gets cold. There ARE flowers, after all. :D ♥
Day 20 - Favorite genre.
While I love my shooters, RPGs have ALWAYS been my favorite, ever since I was a little kid. It's probably because I was always reading a book, so an awesome story in a game was just as good as reading an excellent book. Reading is fun for me, and back then there was LOTS of reading to be done with RPGs...and I love reading so much I have subtitles on for every game JUST TO MAKE SURE I don't miss anything :D
Day 21 - Game with the best story.
Let's see....the one game that I seriously, absolutely could not put down for the story alone would be......hmmmm......there's a lot to choose from D: SOOOO....one would be Final Fantasy Mystic Quest. It may not be a "real" Final Fantasy game, but it was one of the first that made me feel...involved, I guess. After all, I was younger than 10 when I played it...so Sonic and Mario IMO don't really count as 'story' type games.
Day 22 - A game sequel which disappointed you.
I, for once, have to agree with many people about this one game. The campaign was STILL GOOD....but NOT AS GOOD as the one before. The game I chose is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. I think the ONLY real shocking, jaw-dropping scene was the home video of the bombing in London where the lil girl goes boom. MW2 had NO RUSSIAN. GHOST AND ROACH DIE. Lil girl going boom does NOT top an airport massacre where you join victims in the end, and two of the favorite characters happen to be murdered by someone you trusted. It was just LACKING, in my opinion. *shrug* I still love my COD games :D
Day 25 - A game you plan on playing.
OBVIOUSLY, I'm super hyped for Black Ops II. Other than that, the only other game I really can't wait to try and was seriously pissed when the release date was pushed back to 2013 was....Tomb Raider. I LOVED playing all the original games and really can't wait to see how they do with this game. I guess I'm one of the types of gamers that doesn't mind remakes/reboots or prequels. :D

Day 23 - Game you think had the best graphics or art style.
I can't play this game due to the huge maps and me trying to look everywhere at once hurts my eyes REALLY bad...but the graphics are BEAUTIFUL. Game I chose? Battlefield 3.

Day 26 - Best voice acting.
I kinda had to think about it, and I figured if it sounds believable then it counts as great voice acting. Stupid one liners, but hearing "Ada" being called a bitch was pretty funny :D So I choose Resident Evil 6. Of course, if it were WORST voice acting, the original RE would be at the top LMAO

Day 28 - Favorite game developer.
Squaresoft, Square, Square Enix...whatever the hell they're called nowadays, I was never let down with the storyline of any of their games. The story to each game is very important, and it if sucks, I won't like the game, even if the gameplay is beyond awesome. It's like reading a 1,000 page book to only have ONE interesting paragraph. ♥

Day 29 - A game you thought you wouldn't like, but ended up loving.
When my husband brought home Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, I gave him a serious "?" face. I was very much into Resistance: Fall of Man, and figured it wasn't my first game of choice to buy, but since it's here, might as well try it. Let's be clear, JUST DOING THE FIRING RANGE TUTORIAL I FAILED MANY TIMES. What saved my COD life? Look inversion [y-axis] = enabled. I have to have my controls like that, or else IDK WTF I'm doing. My k/d for that game, sadly, was about .40-ish -_- These days, I rock a steady 1.30 average.

Day 30 - Your favorite game of all time.
Yes. If you don't know what game I am going to choose, you have not been paying attention to my posts ;) My favorite game of all time is: Final Fantasy VII. I will forever choose this game as my favorite. Great gameplay, great story, great EVERYTHING. There's nothing wrong with this game to me, except maybe a random grammatical error here and there, but hey! That's ok! LOL.
