NekoJonez’s Question and Purrswer #2: 10 Questions make a long one!

Super Sparta 😀

How’s that for starting off a Question and Purrswer? What’s this? Well, a question and answer with a neko twist of course. Want to ask me a question? Be sure to give a comment, send me a tweet, send me a mail, comment on my Last.FM profile, PM me on my forum… The possibilities are endless. Let’s get to answering the questions I got. And I totally didn’t steal this intro from my first Q & A. Because I add this section to it. Anyways, feel free to comment on this article. I mostly ask for questions for the next Q & A on twitter. Just saying. Oh, and all these questions come from Twitter. (Warning, thanks for the all the questions… This means it will be a long Q & A. Don’t worry, I’m trying out a trick so that this article is split into pages for your reading pleasure.)

#1: Am I going to buy Super Smash Bros / Am I hyped for it? – Asked by Austin from Arpegi

Short answer: One day.

Long answer: Well, depends on the money I have at the time of it’s release. Honestly, I’m more hyped for the remake of my 2nd favorite gen in Pokémon. Yes, I love the 3rd gen.

I also recently learned, thanks through my buddy Seraph, that Corpse Party is coming to the PC! And that with bonus features.

So, I have a two other games that I’m looking out for. Then I have a bunch of other titles that interest me. Like Tomodachi Life or Kirby – Triple Deluxe. Plus, I’m planning to save up my money for a lovely Wii U. Please don’t get me started at the Steam sales. It kills my wallet just thinking about it. 

So, the short answer explains everything.

Now, am I hyped about Super Smash Bros.? … Ehrm, do I have to answer this question? I mean, my reputation… Hehehe… Okay, honestly. I’m not hyped. At all. To be quite harsh, I’m not a fan of the series. I do enjoy the series but it doesn’t pull me in as much as it does to other people.

Why am I planning to buy the 3DS edition then? Well, because I hope that a handheld edition actually draws me into the series. That’s why. But remember, my bar for quality is actually set quite high since it’s a freaking Nintendo game.

#2: Favorite movie genre? – Asked by Sam, a Minecraft friend.

Favorite movie genre, eh? This is a hard question for me, as I tend to be a “jack of all trades”. What I mean here is that I enjoy a lot of movie genres. Lately, movies don’t hold my attention span for the whole movie. When I watch a movie on YouTube or on any platform, I watch it in multiple pieces. I just get bored with there is no interaction. That’s why visual novel adventure games get so much love from me. I get drawn into stories with interaction.

Back to the question, I tried to answer it in a style of “what would you do if you are allowed to watch one style of movies for the rest of your life?”. After much internal debate, I decided. Then the action adventure movies get the highest rating in my taste. Movies like Indiana Jones, Monument Men or National Treasure and even the animated variant, like most anime movies, I tend to enjoy the most.

#3: Bravely Default Questions. Have you beaten it? (Q, Yes. DAT friend) – My opinion on it. (Asked by Drakulus23, a friend in the blogging world.)

I knew that at one day, people where going to ask me about Bravely Default. I talked various times that I was going to write an article about it. And as far I can remember, I haven’t written a full article about it. Not even a first impression.

Yet, I have talked about it in my latest rant. Where I talked about the hate of grinding I have.

Now, did I beat it? No. I haven’t beaten it yet. I’m working on it though. Honestly, I think I’m not going to talk in depth of my opinion since I think I’ll start working on a first impression after I finished up all the articles I have started writing. So, you will know in this month.

#4: Goat Simulator. (Asked by Sarah, a real life friend)

I’m sorry Sarah, but I can’t even stand to watch a Let’s Play of the game. After I seen a few moments of gameplay, something occurred to me. This game is nothing more then a tool to joke around with physics.

The game looks pointless, goalless … to me. Am I saying it’s a bad game? Honestly, to some extend, it’s a mediocre game.

I looked up what other critics say, while some disagree with me, I think that the review from the Guardian hits the nail right on the head. It’s nothing more then a phenomenon/meme spun out of control.

#5: My favorite piece of tech (Asked by LeoHartless, a co-editor @ BSB)

Oh lords. The most interesting question to get your friends to answer. The “favorite X” question. I answered one earlier in this article but now I have another one. These are the most fun to answer, since it really makes you think about the subject.

In the end, I choose a laptop. While I can image people thought that I would go for a handheld, I actually think that a laptop is my favorite piece of technology.

Think about it, you can take your games on the go. Plus, you can carry around your own office. It makes things so easy. Do you want to show something to a friend, just turn the laptop around and you can show it. With a desktop it’s harder to do.

I just love laptops for some reason. Even over my tablet. Laptops can just do more then a tablet in my opinion. And thanks to my laptop, I can be a hobby-blogger. And that’s a dream come true.

NekoJonez’s Question and Purrswer #1

Super Sparta 😀

How’s that for starting off a Question and Purrswer? What’s this? Well, a question and answer with a neko twist of course. Want to ask me a question? Be sure to give a comment, send me a tweet, send me a mail, comment on my Last.FM profile, PM me on my forum… The possibilities are endless. Let’s get to answering the questions I got.

#1 (Mail): Will you do a review of my Android game?

I got a mail of an Android game development studio to test a game before world wide release. I’ll get a test version and I said yes. Truth to be told, this wasn’t the first question but hey, I wanted to tell this to you guys. I’m truly excited!

To all developers who want to let your game get tested by me and have an article about it published on my blog, just contact me. We will work something out. I love to aid developers with my insight.

#2 (Twitter): Leo_Heartless asks the most disturbing game I played.

This is a tough question. This truly depends on which kind of disturbing you mean. In terms of story, I have an even tougher pick to make. There I can’t choose between Virtue’s Last Reward and Corpse Party. Both stories are creepy as in, they will get under your skin and give you that unpleasant feeling. In terms of psychological, Virtue’s Last Reward wins. In terms of horror, Corpse Party wins easily.

But you have the kind of disturbing games in the sense that they are unfinished, bad and just… well awful. And for that, I have a top 10 worst games list I ever played. But the most disturbing game… Hrm. I could say any game here. Like a Monkey Ball game. How cruel is it to put a monkey in a ball and let it race for it’s banana’s?

The issue is that I have a very wild fantasy. And that wild fantasy goes wild in a story. So, if I really had to choose… In terms of disturbing things. God Of War on the PS2. Just the hate in Kratos makes me cringe. It’s a fun game, don’t understand me wrong, but it’s just… disturbing.

#3 (Twitter): Allahweh asked me what the occasion is.

Do things need a point? … Wait, why am I even answering this question in this article? Was it one of her questions? Or was it a legit question since she didn’t know why I asked for questions on my twitter?

Am I really writing what I’m thinking or am I just doing this to be creative? I have no clue, I can’t do this joke of a thinking Neko. NEXT!

#4: (Twitter) Allahweh asks me my most fond gaming memory.

I was going to save this story for a gaming nostalgia article, and I’m still going to do that. I’m going to briefly touch upon it now. In the past, I went to the mountains with my parents and sister each summer. Those times have some amazing memories for me. Once my friends and myself destroyed a dam that stopped mountain water of overflowing some pieces of land. Hey, we didn’t know and we didn’t understand the language.

Anyways, on one of those trips, something truly magical happened. I was playing on my gameboy advance and two kids came up to me and asked if I wanted to do a Pokémon battle with them. As it still was all the rage, I said yes and we fought. It was a draw actually. Anyways, it didn’t take long for us to meet each other that evening and we started to play together.

And eventually more and more kids joined. And before I knew it, I barely had time to play games with my friends. We had a group of, I kid you not, over 50 children who brought their gameboy or psp to play together.

Interested in this story? One day I will write this story more in depth in a game nostalgia article.

#5: (Twitter) Allahweh asks me my favorite non-RPG retro game.

Let’s see. If you don’t count the Zelda games as a RPG, I pick those. The oracle games are my absolute favorites. But let’s think about this for a moment. Since some people dare to say that Zelda is a RPG. With the upgrade-able weapons and such.

In that case, my favorite has to go to a series I return to rather often. The Freddi Fish games. You didn’t see that one coming, right? You thought I was going to choose Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine or something. Nah, Freddi Fish holds more early gaming memories and I remember moments when I even had dry eyes of playing too much Freddi Fish.

I’m so glad to see the developers of that game still around and I cross my fingers that they make a new game of Freddi Fish, Spy Fox or Putt Putt any time soon.

#6 (Twitter) TheJohnCruz asks me about time machines.

Honestly, to the near future. When I have my degree. I’m truly looking forward into working as a teacher. In addition to that, then I’m finally free to that pesky homework. Agreed, I have work to do at home like eg correcting tests, preparing classes and etc. But I think I will be a bit more free.

But if reality changed, I hope that I still can write about games and still become the person I want to become. While I’m a big lover of the past, in terms of my media, I don’t want to actually go to the past.

If that makes any sense.

#7: (Twitter) Lpgardian asks me about curry.

Catnip? Wait, no. That was merely meant as a joke with my username. Don’t shoot me Q but I truly enjoy programming in Curry. No, that’s not right. And I can’t even program in Curry. What the heck am I saying?

Well, Tim Curry is a nice actor. Son of a gun! That’s not the right answer either.

Focus Jonezy. Think of the curry. If you need, become the curry… Ehrm… Let’s not become the curry. Focus… Aha! I know! The light bulb above my head just went flashing.

Curry County! …. What. No! That can’t be the answer. I’m sorry Q, I don’t get the trick in the question. I’m now going to try to get my mood up with curry ketchup on my french fries. Maybe I find out the answer then.

#8: (Tweeter) MiseryLC asks me about… ehrm…

I’m sorry. I’m not a king. I’m a cat.

#9: (Tweater) MiseryLC asks me about my future gaming plans

1. Take a pound of Minecraft,
2. Blend that with some Left 4 Dead 2
3. Cook Bravely Default on 100°C

I can’t do this. I wanted to be a chef and serve you a great dish of the amazing games I am going to play in the near future but I didn’t find a great way to do it. Hey, at least I tried.

Anyways, most likely some games where I’m near finishing the story. Bravely Default, Zelda – Link Between Worlds, Electronic Super Joy, Left 4 Dead 2, Dust: An Elysian Trail, Delver … Yeah, tons of games.

#10: (Twitter) Lpgardian asks about the current state of affairs.

Okay, this wasn’t totally a question for the Q and A, but hey. 10 questions is a nice number.

Anyways, I’m less sick then a few days before. Yippie! I’m still extremely busy. So, yeah, articles will come less often. And some articles will be written in 5-6 times instead of the usual 1-2 times.

But I’m doing fine. I have a few obstacles in my life to beat but nothing TOO big. Let’s say my life a big challenge now and I’m fully going for it. But a fun challenge. Not that I’m depressed or anything. Just going through some rough times. You know, those times that some things just don’t seem to work. Yeah, that time.

Anyways, I’m doing fine.

Want your question in the next QandP? 

Then get in contact with me. Ask me ANYTHING! Surely, I’ll answer every one in the next article. Even if it goes over 50 questions! I’ll still answer them all.

I hope everybody got the reply they wanted. I tried to be creative in some of them. As usual.

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed. And hopefully until the next meeting.
