Game/s currently playing

• I’m not playing anything right now since I’d want to focus on my studies first but if I really have to say something, it’d be Defense of the Ancients since for me it requires less time, attention and money than the others. Oh, and a bit of Guitar Hero.

What’s your main game?

• My main game used to be pRO but I stopped after some 5 years because of personal reasons. pRO was my first MMORPG and no one really influenced me into playing it. I just did so I guess it kind of stuck because I had so many online memories on pRO and I met lots of people there, too. After pRO, I tried Cabal but I put it on hold because I had to tell myself to focus on my studies. I easily tend to get addicted — REALLY addicted.

How did you start playing video games?

• I started playing video games because of my guy cousin who was four years older than me. He introduced me to video games when I was, I think, 5 years old or younger. But thinking back, I was told I played stuff on Atari when I was younger. I’m not sure if we should count that or something because I was really young. I sort of remember some odd racing games and this joystick with a button on top.

What was your first game?

• My first game was Street Fighter. I can’t recall exactly which SF but it’s the one that did NOT have Cammy, T-Hawk, Fei Long and DeeJay in it. I had this huge childhood crush on Ryu Hoshi who eventually became my childhood hero. After Street Fighter, I met Mortal Combat and somewhere in between I met Mario and Sonic. My first console was a Sega Megadrive where I played Sonic and Knuckles, the very first game that I owned.

Your proudest gaming moment?

• My proudest gaming moment… That’s a hard one. I think there are two — one for online and one for console gaming. Online was when I was able to finally transcend my Priestess into a High Priest. I was so proud because that High Priest used to be a sniffling Beta acolyte (yep, I was a beta tester/victim) who had a very colorful rainbow build. I was thinking along the lines of Diablo I back then so my “Full Support” Acolyte had STR, AGI, VIT, INT, DEX, LUK… I’m surprised as to how I was able to make it to transcendent class but even after costing me cash, time, effort and much sleep, when I saw my character wearing those pink High Priestess robes, I couldn’t help but sigh, sob…………… and then scream — LOUDLY.

• My other proudest gaming moment would probably be me sitting in front of a Marvel Vs. Street Fighter machine in Quantum, being challenged and dominating over 7 guys in a row. I don’t mean to say I’m freaking good by that. By all means, I have quite to learn. But it’s just that the mere reason they challenged me was because I was a girl and it kind of sucks being looked down on just because I’m a girl.

Game Affiliations: (guilds, clans, forums etc.)

• I used to belong to the Chronicles of Strikers (pRO) but now I don’t really have any affiliations.

Preferred Game Genre: (mmorpg, fps, rpg, action, etc.)

• Hard question. Well, I go with anything, really but I guess I don’t like racing games. I suck at those regardless of the platform or console. And I have no idea how to play sports games. I FAIL at NBA anything and hurt my fingers just trying to understand FIFA Soccer on those old “Goodboy” consoles.

Preferred Gaming Platform: (PC, consoles or handeld)

• Another hard question. I just love them all. It’s a close call between PC and handheld. I like the PC because of a wider range of possibilities and handheld games give me the pleasure of gaming whenever, wherever.

If you were given a choice for a free console what would you choose from the three? Wii, Ps3 or Xbox360? (Why)

• I guess I’d say the PS3 most probably because they have the new Final Fantasy 7 Complete coming out. I’m a total Cloud Strife sucker fan girl. I was also told that some PSP games were discontinued because the developers decided to make it for the PS3 instead (i.e. the next God of War installment) but I still have to verify that. However the Wii comes in a very “distance-of-a-hair” close second. One word — INTERACTIVE. I’m a hyperactive girl and I find interactive gaming rather cool. I mean if you’ve witnessed the era of Atari and FamiCom then I guess you know how it feels looking at an innovation like this. It’s kind of embarrassing to say that I’ve only tried Guitar Hero yesterday. I don’t even know how to play the guitar but I SO want to play another round. I don’t know much about the Xbox360. Sorry.

How about if you were given a free handheld what would you choose? Nintendo DS or PSP? (Why)

• PSP!!!! Without batting an eyelid, I’d say PSP!!!! It’s just that a lot of games I like are on the PSP.

Are you more of an online or offline gamer? (Why)

• Although I’ve been spent a lot of time and money being an online gamer, I think I’m still an offline gamer because of its boundaries. I’m not generalizing but there ARE people playing online games who has characters that LOOK good. Let’s face it — the surfacing of the bots and gaming currency being on sale for PhP is everywhere. I mean, what good is a fully-equipped character if you can’t even use it properly? It kind of pisses me off that there are a lot of gamers out there who brag about how cool their characters are without even fully grasping the concept of the game. Cool characters, sucky pilots. For me, right now, offline games have provided a boundary that levels the playing field somehow even with the existence of walkthroughs and such. You can actually see who the poser gamers, the real gamers and the hardcore gamers are. That’s just me and my opinion, though.

Let’s say you were given the choice to change the world into one of the games you played before (or you are currently playing), what game would it be?

• It’s a cross between Final Fantasy and Ragnarok Online and it has NOTHING to do with the gaming system. Living in a world like Final Fantasy would be cool IF you were one of the heroes. The myriad of possibilities this game has along with the creativity, the drama has turned it into one of the game world’s I’d like to live in (along with the chance of me finally meeting/marrying Cloud Strife but that’s just the fan girl in me *grins*). Living in a world like Ragnarok Online, on the other hand, would be fun. This is probably influenced by Aragan’s “Ragnarok Wisdom — Oh Load! He’s At It Again!”

If you can change yourself into one of the many heroines in any game, who would you change into?

• OMG OMG OMG TIFA LOCKHEART!! She kicks some serious butt!! I mean the moves she used on FFVII AC were nearly enough to drive Spiderman’s Maximum Spider to retirement!!

It’s about an hour before the dance, and you don’t have a partner yet, your only choices for partners are Yoshi, Kirby or Pikachu, who would you choose and why?

• Pikachu, babeh! If I get pissed off, I just go “PIKACHU! THUNDERSHOOOOOOOCK!” And that’s just getting the party started. It gets even better. *evil grin* Oh, and I’m talking about Ash’s Pikachu not just some random Pikachu. I mean, THAT Pikachu can kick the asses of LEGENDARY POKEMON with SHEER EMOTION!! Imagine what I can do to evil professors with those— okay, ahem, never mind.

What are your other hobbies aside from gaming?

• I’m into net surfing, manga, anime, photography, art, writing, blogging.

Why do you think pinay gamers rock?

• Pinay gamers rock coz some of the guys say “Babae lang yan.” So we get to enjoy their faces when the line “Babae lang, tinalo ka!” comes up.

What’s your message to all the gamers out there?

• Most people (especially adults) say video games or gaming itself is bad influence but gaming is much like anything that exists in the world. If you have too much of it, it’s bad —No matter how fun it is. Take it from a person who learned from experience. People generalize gamers as those who are bound to have no future, delinquents or students who skip class. Why? Because of the large percentage of gamers who have no self-control. Set your priorities and maintain proper discipline. Remember, if gaming starts ruining your life, you’re not entitled to another life even after getting 100 coins.
