Getting to know you!

[emwearz]

After hearing the podcast about getting the know the RB moderator staff, I thought it would be a great idea to have a thread where we could ask questions to different members of the forum and get to know one another better. Post something that no one here knows about you or ask a question you want to know of another member.

@noiseredux What attracts you to the Gameboy so much and did you like it when it was first released or was it something you picked up later?

EDIT: Thought I put this in off topic.

nostalgia plays a big part. I got mine for Christmas 1989 and rather quickly built a nice little collection of classics -- Super Mario Land, Motocross Maniacs, Castlevania Adventure, Fall Of The Foot Clan, etc. But I think a big reason for my connection to it is this: my parents were divorced and I went back and forth to each house. At my mom's house I had a NES and TurboGrafx. At my dad's I had SMS, Genesis, Sega CD... but I ALWAYS had my Game Boy with me at both houses. So I guess in a sense I developed a deeper attachment to those games. They're comforting to me.

@Noiseredux

What got you back into Sony consoles and when will you get a ps3?

@Flake

What fighters do you prefer; SNK or Capcom fighters?

@Noiseredux

mostly just discovering new genres and publishers/designers that I was unfamiliar with before. Over the past year or two I've just read about so many interesting games and been like "damn I wish I could play that but I don't have a PS_ anymore." Plus, more consoles = more shmups.

I'd like a PS3 EVENTUALLY. But I'm not in a rush. I've got a ton of great games to get through now anyway.

Holy crap, I just noticed something about noise's postcount. Sorry, but this joke has to be made:

I have a question for lisalover actually, if you don't mind...

I'm sorry to bug you about it, because I know you've been asked before, but it was a long time ago, in an unrelated topic, and I simply don't remember the answer, so here it is.

Who exactly is lisa?

@JT- where do you find so much info on indie games? I found subscribing to "Indie sites" provided me with less relevant information than say, Joystiq, but you always manage to pull out things the rest of us never even heard of.

I always assumed Simpson.

@Flake

I would probably say Capcom as they have more series I like than SNK. With SNK some of the older franchises like the original Fatal Fury or Samurai Shodown do nothing for me. The only Capcom franchise I do not care for is Dark Stalkers.

But to be honest, the difference between my love for each is so small it might as not even exist.

@ Emwearz - how hard is it being a gamer in Aussie land?
