1. I don't use a mouse, but I prefer wired when I do.
Oooooh jeez, I can say it has been a good while since I posted anything here on Squidboards! An appropriate way to return!
1. Platformers, JRPGs, Hack n slash are probably my favorite. I like shooting games with spooky themes like Resident Evil too. I enjoy fighting games but I'm bad at them.
1. Definitely Nippon!
I also want to turn this into a comic/manga when I finish it.
Well, the Mario galaxies may be tiny, but the worlds are far away from each other nevertheless. The Mario spaceship needs portals opened by giant super stars to travel in between them, which suggests that they are at least several light years away.
Platformers, RPG's, Action-Adventure. Favorite of each would be Banjo-Kazooie. Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door, and Majora's Mask.
The Goonies and Fantastic Mr Fox.
Nature
I believe I've answered 2 of them before :p
1. If I have an intelligent and capable crew with supplies to make a (completely forgot the word I meant to put here) shelter
1. Nah. I don't know fly a plane, so why would I know how to fly a ship?
You could go wherever, it'd be like a risk if there was actually life there or not. But I feel that it's very likely that most earth-like planets could sustain or contain life.
Only 5 times.
, roughly) and T-shirt transferred that one SquidForce emblem onto a white shirt ( , as I wore something underneath it). Couldn't do anything exciting with shoes so I just wore comically large trainers (my father's), approximately thinking of . Most proud of how the tentacles turned out - I cut two new-style Sainsbury's shopping bags (plastic bags that are, thanks to the recent 5p bag charge law in the UK, much better-built than they used to be) down the middle and folded them up such that they formed surprisingly convincing orange tentacles, weighted down with a stone in a sort of pouch at the base of each. I should admit that my mother did much of the work for this, but I was behind the concepts!
This is very long. I think that's all I have to say.
- Colourful games. Games with good music (although I'll just learn to like whatever soundtrack it has - case in point, Bomberman Tournament, which I'm pretty sure has a very mediocre soundtrack which has nonetheless drilled itself into my head). Games with nice controls, insofar as they're relevant (not too important for Pokémon and similar, of course). Games with likeable characters! OBSCURE JRPGS.
- As of pretty recently, yes! For our school leavers' fancy dress event, I cobbled together an Inkling girl outfit - taped the Takoroka logo onto a generic cap (
- Literally nothing on an actual television set. I guess... cartoons, anime (via questionably legal methods)? Haven't watched anything for ages, but I do plan on finally starting Steven Universe today, so that's something.
- That sounds amazing. No.
- SNES. It's somewhere deep in the cupboard behind me... or under the table to my right... or elsewhere. Games I remember that we have on it include Battletoads (in looking which up to check for camelCase, I learned was made by Rare. They do all the good games, don't they?), Mario World, Mario Is Missing, The Addams Family... Animaniacs... and definitely at least five or so others.
- A few compete for it. Hajime Ichinose from Gatchaman CROWDS embodies 'optimism saves the world' and is secretly super-insightful despite her bubbly exterior. N Harmonia (Pokémon Gen 5) is my boyfriend and he likes Pokémon a lot, so that's a plus. Hiccup H. H. III from the How To Train Your Dragon books (very different from the film character) is incredible - as usual when talking about this series, can't go into detail without some Book 9+ spoilers. Close but no cigar are several Tales of characters - Lloyd Irving, Jude Mathis, Ludger Kresnik (yes, cute male protagonists) are great but I dunno, I don't like them quite that much. Shinichi Kudo from Detective Conan is kind of amazing, too. Jenna from Golden Sun is the real main character of the series, being playable in both of the first two games, and she's awesome. Oh, and SHULK! I'm sure that some time after I complete this post, I'll think of someone else who'd normally be obvious to me but eludes my grasp right now, but whatever.
- How about shallow nature? Too deep and the Leg Density Co-efficient gets too high for my liking (BUGS). More open fields with a few trees, a river running past, many Bird Friends... that's my kind of outdoors. Inhabited areas aren't great because a stranger might talk to me.
- In terms of outlets, generally... I dunno. I hardly do any creative stuff, more because I'm unconfident in being able to do well than for dearth of ideas. Possibly Mario Maker?? Haven't played that in months, but I certainly could use it as such if ever needed. Though I can't draw, I still love visual design and so enjoy making levels that look really nice.
- Is the 1980s My Little Pony movie considered bad? Because I love that (have it on DVD so have watched it several times). Also enjoy Naruto a lot, but haven't watched past Episode 300 or so (that is, around Episode 80 of Shippuden). Oh! Just remembered the main one: The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!! (Two exclamation marks because one is in the name.) I find it genuinely, unironically hilarious (also pretty ironically funny). Where else can you hear Mario calling Bowser/Koopa a nerd?
- Nnno. It'd be a shame, as I'm sure that an 'advanced ship' would have an awesome AI, and those are great. But what's far from Earth? Not Pokémon! No point leaving that. Also would prevent me from playing any games competitively (without several years of latency, at least), and I'm a very competitive spirit.
- 144. Nice number! Loadsa factors.
- Hehe... kind of! Crayola™ Treasure Adventures for the DS is as thoroughly inane as it sounds - the main gameplay element is scribbling within outlines to 'colour in' a static picture - but it does have a clear level structure and even boss battles! So on a couple of occasions, I tried to run through all of its stages as quickly as possible, timing myself (got around 20 minutes, but I don't recall the exact length).
- This Cave Story TAS. It probably wasn't my very first speedrun, but it was an early one and introduced me to the concept of TASs in general. It's awesome, on an excellent game, and has wonderful commentary in the captions.
- Pre-e-etty introverted - definitely dislike being around a large number of people... and around a small number of people... and around two people, because they'll just converse with each other and I'll be completely left out. I like some human interaction! But it's hard. So I get to be all rambunctious on the internet instead - I can be quite a character in person, but usually leave such experiences feeling drained and regretting sounding dumb. Would I rather be more extroverted? I don't knowww. I want to say 'no', but that's probably mostly my introversion speaking.
- Difficult games? Mega Man 1-7. The first few felt like the hardest, but I think that that was just because I had never played something like that before. Mega Man 7... had the most ridiculous final boss. Definitely felt like the hardest single part of a game, like, ever? After that... I played Mega Man X. And could not, simply could not complete the final stages: that's where I left the series, up to today. Outside of that franchise, aforementioned Battletoads is brutal; so is I Wanna Be The Guy, but that goes without saying. Never got anywhere in either of those two (the former because I only played it when I was very young; the latter because I just could not spare the willpower). Advance Wars! Completed the first game, though it took me years to do so. Then I got the third, Dual Strike, which is probably the easiest in the series, but that doesn't mean much - also took ages to get to and get through the final mission. Subsequently, Dark Conflict (or, for you USA types, Days of Ruin) genuinely defeated me. I have a file in which 61 of 64 story missions (including optional ones) are completed. Two of the remaining ones are optional challenges which stump me - Jay Islands is cruel because of the huge advantages the three CPUs have over you, and, uh, Web River or whatever it's called is horrid because of the lack of cover. Also Fog of War in both. And the final mission! It's just stupid! The opponent gets a couple of free units every day (of his choice); there are several stage hazards which become nigh-unavoidable later; and there's no way to prevent him from claiming the eastern portion of the relatively small map near the beginning. One day. One day. There's also Black Hole Rising (second game in the series), which I don't think is terribly difficult - possibly actually easier than Dual Strike? But it's got very solid stages, less trickery and asymmetry and more just having to outplay the opponent. I got to the final mission in that, too, and just... looked at it and lost the will to play. Bad habit of mine which I think I've broken by now, but it means that I also have yet to complete that.
- A few times. At six months, I moved from Novosibirsk, Russia to some town in England. Couple of years later, moved to Bristol; then to another place in Bristol. In 2006, I moved to Oxford, and a couple of years later, to elsewhere in Oxford, where I presently reside.
- Honeycomb! And/or mint choc chip.
- I LOVE NUMBERS. Put me on the spot and I'll say 2^30 (1,073,741,824). But so many numbers are great! I've recently grown to like 2357 - it's prime (in base 10)! Perfect numbers are amazing, but I can never remember what the fourth one is (after 6, 28 and 496... right, 8128, but I only ever remember that it's a little over 8000 and really looks like a power of 2). But for that reason, 6 is my favourite small number. Still, I'd have trouble picking one for sure.
Is IWBTG on WiiU/3DS? You've said you never play PC games.

1. Nope! Too scary!
Okay, rephrasing that - rarely do so, and I have my lack of controllers as a valid excuse to get YL for the Wii U. IWTBTG couldn't possibly be a licensed release on Nintendo platforms, having all of those IPs in it.
Oops, didn't mention that in my list - I've also completed that, all three endings (on the PC original, so no Wind Fortress if that's what you're referring to).
I wasn't, I actually forgot about that because I had just beaten the best ending and gave up really soon on the wind fortress because I didn't want to have to do another hard level right after beating that. I'll try to beat it today. I have the 3DS version.
