Well I was in college in Austin from 1995 to 1999, so maybe I did go to that store when I lived there. I don't remember the name of the mall it was in. I do know I went to EB Games a lot in a mall in Austin as well. There was one employee there who was very nice and was really hepful to me in my first couple of years of being a game reviewer. So thank you, Tess, wherever you are....
Have you ever played (or at least seen) Kid Dracula? That's my favorite Castlevania game.
I don't think I could just pick one favorite video game song. But some that I really have always liked include Dr. Wily's Stage 1 theme from Mega Man 2, and the Stage 1 theme from Darius, also called Captain NEO. Give them a listen when you get a chance.
Rare Replay is one of the few games I would get if I had a XBox One.
I never played this one, but I have some friends who LOVED it.
My friend and I rented the original game back when we were kids and beat it. I know we beat it because we were both shocked at the ending with the exploding head and cuss word! I treid playing it again a few years ago and I have no idea how we beat it as kids. It's so hard. I guess age hasn't been too kind to my game playing skills. Either that or we had more time to waste back then.
I heard about this, but I didn't know if it was true.
Now they need to make a Kid Dracula cartoon!
I got Shantae Half-Genie Hero on PS4. I like the game, but I'm also disappointed with it, too. It doesn't have the Metroid style exploration like the others did, and it's much shorter, too. Plus the other games had fun dungeon mazes to figure out. Half Genie Hero makes me think that WayForward wanted to make a cartoony Mega Man game, so they did a kickstarter to fund a project to pay for making the engine so they can make one easier next time. This is why I don't do kickstarters. Plus I would've been more disappointed with the game if I did.
Super Mario Maker is one of the best Wii U games out there.
Wait'll you get to Death Mountain. :)
Kirby's Triple Deluxe is great. Now you need to try Planet Robobot.
Wow you got a platinum trophy? I don't even think I have one of those.
My proudest gaming moment really doesn't have to do with a game. But I'm really proud that I got to write game reviews for The Dallas Morning News. I'm proud because when I tried out for the gig, I did it all by myself. Granted I should credit teachers for teaching my how to write and parents for supporting me and raising me, but as far as everything I had to do to try out for the newspaper, it was all me. And while I haven't been lucky enough to make a career out of it, I still get gaming feathers in my cap because of that opportunity.
When I was a little kid, I was proud when I beat my first game. It was called Mickey's Space Adventure. It was kind of a cross between a point and click game and a text adventure. Anyway, I know it was designed for kids, but I was in kindergarten at the time and I was really proud when I beat it. I still remember that feeling today, and that's why I have a strong interest in kids' games.
I just reviewed thsi game.
