  1. What are the very first 5 video games that you played? If you can't remember for sure, just take your best guess or mention video games you remember being among the very first ones that you played.

    If you could go back in time and tell little Randoman one thing, what would it be?

    After watching The Flash (2014 TV series) and seeing how much time travel can mess everything up, I'd be too scared to alter the timeline in even the smallest of ways.

    ...though if I had to pick one thing to tell little Randoman, just for the sake of this question, I'd tell him to pursue Building/CAD Design in college right after Grade 12 graduation, rather than Engineering in university. It'd save my family and I tons of money in tuition fees, especially since I dropped out of Engineering 3 years in.

    The timeline would probably make us lose even more money in the alternate timeline that ensues, though...

  2. What are your three most valued personality traits and three most hated personality traits, when it comes to looking for new, potential friends?

    What is a game series you've never been able to play, but have always wanted to?

    A series specifically? None really comes to mind. The main games that come to mind are entries that I missed out on of series that I enjoy, such as F-Zero GX and Final Fantasy Dimensions.

  3. Because women with their hair showing > women with their hair hidden from headwear.

    In regards to me wanting stereotypes in fiction to be broken more often, is it bad that I've actually briefly thought "characters clothing being made of cloth... That stereotype should be broken!" before realizing how ridiculous that sounded? (I still think that stereotype can be deviated from to an extent, like having characters wear reptile pelts/skins or having an outfit that consists of a fair amount of electrical wires)

  4. If/when you have kids, are there any games/TV shows/etc. you really want to have your kids get into? (Eg: you want them to get into Fire Emblem as young as possible)

    What video game has your favorite soundtrack?

    It's so hard to pick just one game's soundtrack. Though currently, I've been listening to a lot of F-Zero music, specifically from the SNES F-Zero and F-Zero: Maximum Velocity.

  5.   Mario Kart aside, what racing games have you played and enjoyed?

    Video games. Some of my most loved games are complete garbo and I love it. One particularly bad/good one is Brave: A warrior's tale. It's quite bad in every regard...But the voice acting, strangely enough, is absolutely superb.

    What's your favorite sandwich?

    I guess if I had to pick one, it'd be a grilled cheese sandwich. I'm not actually that big on sandwiches. I guess it's the Asian upbringing in me that prioritizes rice over bread.

  6. What would your family members/real life friends say your best and worst personality traits are?

    I mean, she's also very cute, but that's a plus rather than the exclusive reason why I like her so much.

    Favorite mage in FE?

    Sure, sure. =P

    Merric and Lilina come to mind. Merric for being really good friends with Marth and Elice (he's a childhood friend of two of my favourite characters, so that makes him a favourite character of sorts as well) and for having a pretty cool, fancy design as far as male mages go. Lilina for being really kind, sweet, cute, and all-around likeable.

    If you count shamans as mages, you can throw in Sophia in there as well. I'm a fan of gentle, soft-spoken females in general, and she looks gorgeous with her long robe and long flowing hair.

  7.   Aside from Video Brinquedo movies, what other "so bad, it's good" type of things do you enjoy?

    Who is your favorite unit in the franchise?

    It'd have to be Marth. Aside from finding him really cool looking ever since I first saw him in Melee during his character unlock battle (blue is my favourite colour, and I really like how so many different shades of blue are implemented in his character design), I really like how hesitant and humble he is compared to other Fire Emblem lords, and how his insecurity and him getting easily flustered makes him more flawed, human, and relatable compared to other FE leads, who are generally either way too gung-ho and resolute, or virtuous to the point of it not seeming realistic.

     

  8. Who is the character in your avatar, and what makes you like them so much?

    What was your first gaming console and the first game you played on that system

    Alternatively: What was the first video game you've ever played?

    Sky Destroyer on the Famicom.

    Not really, the only time I can think of having that problem was trying to find the most efficient way to complete the support log in fe7, and long story short that’s how I ended up here. I still had to discover that information for myself, though. (Chapters 27-29 Eliwood’s tale are you best friends.)

    Personally, I used Game Shark codes to switch the characters to whoever's supports I wanted to unlock. There was a lot of waiting around in Eliwood Mode chapter 11 and 12.

    ...though I guess you wanted to do it the honest way, which is understandable. I did it at first for Hector's final chapters, then I went the cheating route with the last 10-15 supports.

  9. Sorry, but the "pushy, outspoken female" trope is easily one of my least favourite tropes in fiction, since it comes dangerously close to the "abusive female who frequently attacks/hits guys" trope. The latter is arguably my most hated trope, due to the double standard it creates that "hurting males is okay, acceptable, and funny" while "hurting females is monstrous and inhuman."

    ...at the very least, I acknowledge and am glad that the younger sister didn't physically hurt the guy. Though with how familiar I am with anime, the younger sister seemed dangerously close to stooping to that level.

    T-Rex Racing

  10. Wow... That was really epic, beautiful, and deep. This definitely surpasses Bonetrousle as my favourite Undertale song.

    10/10 (I don't give this out lightly, and I gave plenty of thought before deciding on giving it a full 10)

    For the below video, you can stop at the 2:12 mark:

     

  11.   Despite the vastness of the internet, have you ever had the problem of not being able to find the information you want on the internet? (Eg: for me, I really want to figure out how people get such fast times on Sample/Title Screen Courses in Super Mario Maker 2 so I can get similarly fast times, but I can never find any guides or videos on it) If yes, what information are you unable to find on the internet, that you really want to find?

    What's that one game you've been wanting to play but never getting around to? Share some details.

    I've been meaning to beat Super Bomberman R (I'm at the final world) and unlock all the 6 story mode boss characters, but with how much of my time Super Mario Maker 2 has been taking up, it's been hard to do so.

    Essentially, I'm "trapped" on the Super Mario Maker 2 leaderboards, since I'm highly ranked on them, and not playing Super Mario Maker 2 when I have gaming time available will only gradually lower my ranking. Being at the top 100 on the leaderboards is really exhausting, and the competition is relentless (and sometimes flat out dishonourable in terms of sabotaging others by predatorily mass stealing world records from the same person). Though part of me does want to quit, I don't because the leaderboards are a really good way of getting a lot of mileage out of one game, and not having to buy multiple games to occupy myself. I mean, being occupied by one game for 2-3 years is much cheaper than having to buy multiple games to occupy myself for 2-3 years.

  12. Pretty random and amusing stuff, though I don't get how it pertains to laptops being in power saving mode. Then again, I've seldomly had to deal with laptops in power saving mode.

    For context: the below video is an actual tutorial on how to use a DVD menu for the DVD of the Sonic TV series.

     

  13. In Thracia 776, who are some of your favourite bad characters/low to bottom tier characters to scroll abuse? (Eg: boost up Marty's attack & speed with scrolls to make him an absolute monster, scroll abuse Kain who starts at level 1 and give him Est-like growths)

    What about you?

    Gwonam, definitely. After that, I have a hard time picking just two of Mayor Kravendish, the Baker, the "Magic Cloak" lady, Ushrom (the Wand of Gamelon shopkeeper), Ipo the Reader, Hectan, Fari, the 3 evil witches... yeah... there's too many to choose from for me to make a top 3.
