Colors Chat #45

[ixionesis]

It's time to sit back, relax, and pour yourself an ice cold glass of... milk. All these games are so great and fun but everyone needs a chance to just unwind and talk. So welcome to Colors Chat!

Here, you will get a topic and you can talk about it all you want. Just listen to your heart and write what you feel like. For your six sentences, you'll get 5 cards. And you should always go around and talk to people, see if you can make new friends or old friends with new light on them or you know, just talk with everyone! It is a chat after all.

Today's topic:
Video games! Which games and genres are your favourites? What game consoles do you have? What was your very first video game ever? Do you still play it? Which upcoming games you're waiting for right now?

Please keep all comments civil and polite. You might disagree with someone, but please do not start a flame war. THANK YOU and enjoy your weeks!

This round closes on Tuesday, August 4th. CLOSED

Oh boy! Well I started gaming on the SNES and gameboy when my parents got them for us one Christmas. I stuck to the Mario games almost exclusively until one fateful Christmas some years later, right after Pokemon came out, my sister borrowed it from her friend, and I played it... and that was history! Started with Blue, and I've loved it every since. I enjoy many of the spinoff games too. Mystery Dungeon ones are great (less so on the newest ones but I have high hopes for the next one coming up), and while I kind of hate the Pokemon Ranger line, it's still awesome that there are so many types of games in the franchise. The F2P shuffle thing is a bit stupid but I don't mind Nintendo doing its cautious experimenting with the F2P model.

Also I played the Mass Effect trilogy for the first time in 2013 (so after the ME3 furor passed) and boy did that give me the feels. And got Bioware a bunch of my $$ since I'm not the owner of four N7 hoodies/jackets, one SR2 hat, a few PoP figures and two Normandy models. MaleShep/Kaidan forever <3

In addition I enjoy MMOs, played WoW for about 8 years, moved on to FFXIV though I unfortunately can't play it seriously atm, it owns my heart, and WoW owns my MMO nostalgia (though funnily FFXI was the game that introduced the MMO concept to me).

These days my 3DS is gaming central since PC time is at a premium. Still banging away at Pokemon constantly (failing at nuzlockes), also Animal Crossing, and dabbling in Etrian Odyssey and discovered how great Fire Emblem was with Awakening.

Waiting for Animal Crossing Happy Home Academy, the new Etrian II remake, and Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon :D

EDIT: Hot damn I forgot about Minecraft! I go on binges, it's awesome.
