3. My hated game/games:
If I don't like it, I don't own it.

Actually, no. Golden Sun. There's just something about that game that I don't like...

4. My favorite enemies (minion enemies):
Moo! Poto! Needlebeaks!

5. My most hated least liked enemies (minion enemies):
Goblins. Stupid freaking FF Goblins--! Also, Bugbears and Molebears.

6. My favorite enemies (bosses):
Izlude (FFT); Elvis, Fereydoon, Nightburn (WA5); Ed (BFM); Bandiger (TA); Geis (Ys VI); Crowdia, Gao (Rhapsody);

7. My most hated enemies (bosses):
Chaos (U:SaGa); Seymour (FFX); Kuja (FFIX); Rival (SkyGunner); Empress, Fortune (Magical Drop);

8. Most loved good-character:
...I refuse to answer at the risk of insulting any of them.

9. Most hated good-character:
Dias.

10. Most memorable game:
killer7, definitely. I can't say why without spoiling.

11. Least memorable game:
I can't remember.

12. Favorite segment of game (a gun battle, for instance):
Master Thomas' chapters in Suikoden 3.

13. Least favorite segment of a game:
Steamwood in BFM. The worst part is, you gotta do it TWICE.

14. Most loved storyline:
FFT.

15. Favorite secret/easter egg/cheat:
I don't know if this counts, but all the cameos in WA5 amuse me.

16. How many games you've think you've played in your life:

17. How many games you (think) you own:
[link]

18. Favorite weapon:
Spears or bows.

19. Favorite spell/power:
Anything with Lightning. If we're talking Ogre Battle/Tactics Ogre, then Acid Cloud all the way.

20. Hardest boss you've ever beaten:
CHAOS. It took me freaking two years to figure out how to beat him. Yes, it took me that long to learn the U:SaGa system. And even after preparing and leveling, it was only by a stroke of luck that I won the damn fight.

21. Easiest boss you've ever beaten:
That one boss in FF7 that can be killed with a Phoenix Down.

22. Favorite system:
Either PS/PS2 or DS.

23. Favorite gaming controller:
PS/PS2.

24. Best level design:
SaGa Frontier 2, because the watercolor landscapes are GORGEOUS.

25. Console or PC?
Console, definitely. My computer is always too outdated for most PC games.

26. Scariest moment in gaming:
My first killer7 playthrough, but that doesn't really count.

What DOES count is getting eaten by Tanzer... *shudder* Then you have to look at the INSIDE of its throbbing stomach.

A close second is the fight with Bulbox. "I'm the perfect one for Gaia!" Shyeah right. *retch*

27. Most suspenseful moment in gaming:
The end of Smile in killer7. It was so abrupt and completely unexpected and yet--so DEEP. I can't say what it is without spoiling. Besides, it doesn't mean a damn thing unless you've been through the rest of the game.

Appropriated from

RULES
Step 1: Put your iTunes or equivalent on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Bold out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 4: Rinse and repeat.

Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!

I'll make it easier and put the first verse instead, since some of these songs are obscure. I'll blank out the song title if it manages to sneak in there...

16. Well my daddy left home when I was three
And he didn't leave much to ma and me
