I hadn't thought about the order, but if you put them like that, yeah, I guess that would be it.
My favorite consoles include the SNES, PSOne, and Xbox 360. But all the consoles I've owned I've enjoyed.
I have my Switch reserved along with Zelda. I wanted the collector's edition, but they didn't have any more. After playing 1 2 Switch at PAX South, I preordered that game, too. Although I still think that should've been a pack-in game. Looking forward to when I can pick it up next week. I have to work a lot around that time, though. Which is good because I'll get more money to help pay for all that, but I'll have less time to rescue Zelda! Boo! I hope Zelda packed lots of snacks for her to eat while waiting for me to save her!
Cosplay expenses, huh? Cosplay sounds fun, but I'm probably too old for that by now. Who do you like to dress up as? When I go to conventions like PAX, I have no idea who most of the cosplay people are supposed to be dressed as.
I visited Ensemble Studios when they just had a small office in Dallas. They were working on a game that you might've heard of called Age of Empires. Back when I visited, they hadn't even found a publisher yet, but they told me they were thinking of Microsoft...
While Nintendo Power was clearly propoganda, I still have a lot of respect for that magazine as it did a lot of video game journalism 'firsts' and was one of the inspirations for me to major in Magazine Journalism in college to do that one day. Didn't work out that way later, but that's life.
I like going to see movies in theaters, too. If anything, just to get out of the house. But it has to be a movie I REALLY want to see.
When I was in college in Austin, I got to see the MST3K movie when it came out at Dobie Mall on campus. That was a great example of seeing a movie in a crowd. Totally different than watching it on TV.
Some of my favorite video game intros include:
Klonoa (PSOne)
Namco X Capcom (Japan PS2)
FF6 (SNES)
Adventures of Lolo 2 (NES)
A version of this is coming to the Switch, I think.
Can you guess my favorite Street Fighter character?
I'm not a big fan of DBZ, but the original Dragon Ball is one of my most favorite animes ever. My favorite characters are Puar and the turtle. I met the lady who does the voice of Young Trunks and Puar once. She also does the voice of Spike the dragon from the My Little Pony cartoon.
