THE PLAYING VIDEO GAMES MEME

Video games. We love 'em. You love 'em. Let's play 'em. ...That's all there is to it, yep.

1.) Post with your character.
2.) When you reply to someone, roll from the options below.
3.) Play the game. Feel free to pick a specific one if you want, or make up your own random-ass game.
4.) Try not to break the console.

OPTIONS:

1. Dating Sim (eg. Tokimeki Memorial, Katawa Shoujo): Basically obligatory in these sorts of memes. But remember, it's not just about picking whether to stick it in or not! It's also about making sure you don't slack off too much in your studies and workout, you lazy ass.

2. Japanese RPG (eg. Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Tales of): Saving the world one scripted overdramatic event after another. Grind those levels!

3. Western RPG (eg. Fallout, Baldur's Gate, Wizardry): Gotta go save the world! ...After I get the rats out of the cellar, and take this scroll to the next city over, and try to find three artifacts for the archeologist at the camp...

4. Management Sim (eg. Evil Genius, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Simcity): I don't know what you're talking about. Having a roller coaster that launches people into orbit is perfectly legitimate park design.

5. Beat'em'up (eg. Final Fight, River City Ransom, God Hand): PUNCH 'EM ALL AND LET GOD SORT 'EM OUT. Try not too eat too many street chickens.

6. First Person Shooter (eg. Doom, Medal of Honor, Half-Life 2): No John you ARE the demons. And then John was a demon. Oooh, motion sickness...

7. Adventure Game (eg. The Walking Dead, Monkey Island, King's Quest): I'm pretty sure that porcelain cat is SOMEHOW important in getting the guard to let you into the club, but how?

8. Platformer (eg. Super Mario Bros, Rayman, I Wanna Be the Guy): Where do all those pits actually drop you, anyway?

9. Strategy (eg. Starcraft, Civilization, Total War): zerg rush kekekekekekeke

10. Survival Horror (eg. Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Dead Space): ...but isn't this what 75% of Dreamwidth RPs are ANYWAY?

11. Puzzle (eg. Puyo Puyo, Chu Chu Rocket, 2048): Yeah, I apologize if that last example is giving anybody withdrawal symptoms right now.

12. Fighting Game (eg. Street Fighter, Tekken, King of Fighters): ARE YOU KEN? ARE YOU KEN? SURE YOU'RE KEN!

13. Shoot-em-up (eg. Gradius, Touhou, Tyrian): Suddenly, there were bullets! Eeeeeeeeeverywhere!

14. Metroidvania (eg. Metroid, Symphony of the Night, La Mulana): Leaving rooms tantalizingly out of reach until you get the right item for years.

15. Classic Arcade (eg. Frogger, Pac-Man, Lunar Lander): Where pretty much the only thing that matters is the points you get and how few quarters you use to get them.

16. Sports (eg. Tecmo Bowl, NBA Jam, Mario Kart): Because why get fresh air when you can sit on your butt and make touchdowns?

17. Pokemon: Bonus points if it's a Nuzlocke run.

18. Wildcard/Other: Anything I forget to list? Here it goes.

I'll give you one last chance to back down, just in case! I wouldn't want to destroy someone who wasn't ready to witness my team's power.

Lol, it's been forever since I've played Pokemon so forgivesies if I make mistakes.

ooc: seriously, she's from a fighting game herself. It'll be theraputic.

[Yaaaaaaaaassssssssssss]

[COME AT ME BRO HE IS A GIANT VIDEO GAME NERD]

[...how did this happen, exactly...? Okay, it was probably Zelretch, because it's always Zelretch, but he's barely had this techno garbage for a day before StreetPass completely confounds him within not too many feet of someone a bit...

...well, let's just say that fate must be having a bit of a chuckle right now, because Lord El-Melloi II is going to get a StreetPass and it's going to be a goddamn Kayneth Mii. He is playing Pokemon Y and he is not too far away, where he's trying to figure out what the hell StreetPass does in this game as opposed to something simpler like, say, Mii Plaza.]

Ummm... Eva-chan. I don't think you can get up there yet.

[ Konoka's played this particular game before, but unless Eva is trying a speed running trick she has no idea what she's actually doing. ]

[6, 7 and 10 are his usual jam]

[He has a special controller from Beast. And he'll happily kick your butt in any Earth game. Or work with you in a co-op. Or take encouragement at how good a game person he is. Happy with any option bar 17 since my Poke lore is awful.]
