This is a great thread idea! :D
...there's a lot of questions to reply to! D:
What's your favorite Zelda games?
Zeldas 1 and 2, though I can see why Link To The Past is so beloved as I'm chipping away at it.
If you could make a RPG spin-off out of any non-RPG franchise, what would it be?
A Sonic one that doesn't suck balls This is a toughie! I'm gonna have to go with a Donkey Kong Country RPG, personally.
I'd love to see more setting lore, let alone have more chatter, similar to a Mario RPG. Maybe the return of the Kremlings somehow, or one that reluctantly helps the Kongs against a bigger threat? Animal buddies as summons or Paper Mario RPG companions would also be cool!
Favorite game that isn't retro... lets put 2020 and above??
Chasm. Easy. Dammit this one's from 2018. Uhhhhh...
SKALD: Against The Black Priory. Almost about to beat it, too. Mortal Kombat One is also pretty neat.
Whats your favorite Sega Genesis/Mega Drive game?
Phantasy Star 4. Tricky. Wish I had more experience with Sega games on the whole, but I still wanna finish this one. I think I got 3/4s of the way through?
If there was one old tech trend you could bring back, what would you pick?
Stuff to plug in, especially into controllers. Memory cards and the Dreamcast's VMU, and the Rumble and Transfer Paks were cool. I have no idea what those accessories would even do, but I liked those.
If you could pick just one game to play for the rest of your life (mods and/or fan-made content included) what would it be?
I really don't think I can pick. I like way too many games to only ever play one, with or without mods included. If I really had to blurt something out with a gun pointed to my head or something, I'd probably say Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I've played that one to death, and really need to get on what few mods exist for it.
What's your favorite SNES platformer?
The original Donkey Kong Country. Super Mario World is a good second place.
What's your favorite movie decade?
Much as my rose-tinted glasses are set to 00s nostalgia, I've gotta give it up to the 90s.
There were a lot of cool movies in that decade. I mostly remember some popcorn flicks from the 00s and love them, but the comedies I used to love from that era aged like milk. 90s movies across the spectrum of genres aged like a fine wine, however. Mostly.
Your most groundbreaking theater experience?
Hard to say. I remember really, really loving when I saw The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe on Christmas one year, though? IDK, it wasn't anything groundbreaking, but I remembered it had a big impact on me.
What are some of your favorite game spin-offs?
Final Fantasy Tactics and its sequels, 'nuff said.
Pokemon Stadium and 2 were a lot of fun. I don't know if it'd be possible to capture that whole feeling in modern Pokemon, but being able to just throw together a roster of almost any Pokemon and battle -- let alone play fun minigames between battles -- just feels good. Battle Revolution sucked, from what I've heard.
I actually had fun with Castlevania Judgment! When I played it! All of once!
Who are some of the coolest NPC's from the games you've played?
Moira Brown from Fallout 3 is a very polarizing shopkeep / inventor / co-author of the Wasteland Survival Guide. You either love her or loathe her, but I'm definitely in the former crowd.
I certainly get why people love Solaire the Sunbro from Dark Souls. He's simple but fun.

My turn to ask a question!
What is your favorite ice cream flavor? Can also include adjacent stuff like sherbet, sorbet, et cetera.
