    Is it worth it?

    I have no doubt that there are still great titles incoming, but I don't really think it would be worth it to buy one right now. I remember when I bought the PS3 on release a few years ago and how I just couldn't find any new games I wanted to play, haha. That was a totally new and most of all...

    Do you like the 3D feature in the 3DS?

    No, I absolutely don't like it at all. I think it's a fun little gimmick and not much more, which seems to be Nintendo's shtick lately. See the Wii U with it's weird tablet controller, said 3DS with it's 3D gimmick, and earlier, the Wii with it's unique controllers, which actually worked out...

    Why do you think the Wii is more popular than Kinect?

    I think it's just because the Wiimote is mandatory, while Kinect isn't. If you're buying a Wii you'll automatically get to try it out with no additional cost, unlike Kinect. I have no way to compare the quality between the two though, because I've never tried Kinect (for said reasons).

    Grand Theft Auto V

    I rented it on a whim and I gotta say, I am suprised at how much a like it! The voice acting and dialog are spot on, the game looks absolutely great (and that's on PS3!) and I love all the little things you can discover. For example, eventually you crash down on the couch with the TV on, and you...

    Do You Like/Love To Read?

    Yeah, I read every day. Fantasy novels like the Kingkiller Chronicles or The Song of Ice and Fire are my favorite, but I also read classics like Dostojevsky or Dumas once in a while. It's nice to have something to read during the daily commute to and back home from school.

    Could you go 24 hours without a screen?

    Pretty easy for me! I have lots of hobbies that don't involve a screen. Working out, reading books, playing piano, meeting friends... easily enough to fill a day or two.

    Why Chose the Vita over 3DS?

    I liked the PSP better than the DS and I thought that the new Monster Hunter games would be released on it (as was the case with the PSP). Was pretty disappointed when I read that Nintendo will get those from now on. Turns out I should've bought the 3DS from the beginning... larger game library...

    Still Playing PS2?

    Yep, I'm still playing a lot of PS2, especially when friends are over. Very fun to play old racing or fighting games on it. Recently bought some classic RPGs like FFX and SMT to replay them.

    Games You Are Bad At

    I don't know why, but I just can't get good at Starcraft. You have to learn so many things to be at least somewhat of a competent player. It's also just too stressful for me to try to micro my units during a big fight while building and researching stuff in my base.

    Do you think media causes violence?

    I am not an expert on the topic, but I do believe that pretty much anything can cause violence if the particular individual already has an unhealthy mind. That's no reason to ban media though. It'd be much more helpful to help said individuals.

    How many hours gaming?

    I usually play up to 4 hours. Sounds like a lot, but it really isn't, considering the average Dota 2 match lasts for about an hour or so! I am a university student, so finding the time for video games is really not that hard. I come home at around lunchtime every day, so I have the rest of the...

    What are you looking forward to in 2015?

    I am eagerly awaiting Bloodborne (aka Demon's Souls 2) for the PS4! I have no doubt they won't disappoint, considering all Souls games were absolutely wonderful so far. I'm actually still playing Dark Souls 2 at the moment, even after beating it more than a few times.

    First PS1 game?

    First thing I played for weeks was a disc with a bunch of demos from a magazine! The first actual game was Final Fantasy 8, I believe. It is the reason I still play so many RPGs until today. I remember I was stuck on my first playthrough quite a few times, until I finally bought a guide for it...

    Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft

    I've been playing since closed beta and I still play quite regularly. It's pretty relaxing, I can browse the web and watch some videos while it's the opponents turn. And I don't mind the RNG, really. It's a collectible card game, it's going to have a lot of RNG anyways. GvG added a lot of...

    Top 3 Exclusive PS3 Games

    1. The Last of Us This game's plot and characters were absolutely amazing. I don't think I have played a game whose plot managed to pull me in like that before on the PS3 (on PC, TWD by Telltale comes to mind though). The gameplay itself was great too. 2. Demon's Souls If you have a PS3 and you...

    Do you watch anime?

    Yep, I watch some anime. I don't follow the newest releases and stuff like some people do, but I when my friends recommend something to me I'll usually watch it. I actually enjoyed Attack on Titan so much that I went ahead and read the manga because I just couldn't wait for the next season...

    Fave Smash Characters

    Definitely Captain Falcon. He's been my favorite since the original Smash Brothers and I've been playing him ever since. I don't know, I just like the way he plays. Also, his lines are hilarious.

    Most Favorite Open-World Game?

    Usually I don't like open world games too much because there isn't much meaningful content to be found most of the time, that's why my favorite is New Vegas. Everywhere you go you'll find something curious going on and spend the next hour figuring out what's going on. I love New Vegas...

    What was the first console game you really enjoyed?

    Super Smash Brothers on the Nintendo 64. This game was like a revelation to 7 year old me, it actually brought me into gaming. Used to play it at my friends house with a full 4 player party all the time!

    Your favorite souls game

    Propably the first Dark Souls. I was so excited for it after playing through Demon's Souls over and over again on the PS3, and it really did deliver. I really love the way the world is built, shortcuts and secrets everywhere. Dark Souls II is amazing too, of course. Some things are better, some...
