You remember that one person from that one place? No? That's me.
Day 16: Best Plot Twist

I'm going to go into to much detail because this game is phenomenal, so I'll just say Spec Ops: The Line.

Day 15: Overrated Game

I kind of want to say Astro Bot, because it doesn't seem like it should have won a lot of the categories it did but I haven't played it yet. I am going to say yearly releases like Call of Duty or NHL. They sell way to much every year for only marginal improvements.

Day 14: Favourite Class or Fighting Style

I usually prefer fast classes with high dps. Dual wielders usually. In FFXIV I've mained ninja for years because I'm a weeb lol. It really satisfies my adhd too.

Day 13: Best Voice Acting

This is tough to narrow down. Actors like Liam O'Brien or Laura Bailey always have great performances. Christopher Judge in the God of War games is stellar. But I think for me, my favourites will always be Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill in the Batman games.

Day 12: Most Annoying Character

I had to think quite a bit about this one. Not many game characters actively annoy me. But after thinking for a while I realized this fucker from Ocarina of Time is the bane of my existence.

Day 11: Comfort Game

Not sure I really have a comfort game. I guess I have a comfort franchise because I keep replaying Final Fantasy games.

Day 10: Underrated Game

The Long Dark. An amazing survival game with an intriguing story to boot. The gameplay is easy to learn but surprisingly deep, the different areas are varied, plus it's set in Canada and has an all star voice cast, including both Mark Meer and Jennifer Hale.

Day 9: Favourite Antagonist

There's a lot of honourable mentions here, like GLADoS or Sephiroth (especially with the remkae series). I think Vaas from Far Cry 3 tops the list though. He changed the landscape for villains and everyone has benn trying to (unsuccessfully) copy his formula.

Day 8: Favourite Protagonist

I will always absolutely love Kiryu from the Yakuza/Like A Dragon series. In terms of character arc though I think Luke from Tales of Abyss is one of the best. You absolutely hate him at the beginning and don't even realize how much you love him by the end.

Technically, a tomato is a berry, so at least we still have that.

Day 7: Favourite Multiplayer or MMO

I usually play single player games, but I like to party games like Jackbox with friends. As for MMO, Final Fantasy XIV all the way. I've played a good number of MMOs but none of them captivate me like XIV does.

Day 6: Best World Building

There are so many that are great. The Bioware rpgs are still referencing things from 15 year old codex entries. The Final Fantasy always has engaging worlds. I think the Remedy Verse has hooked me the most though, connecting Alan Wake and Control? A+ work.

Day 5: Game That Deserves a Remake

Chrono Trigger. I wish this game would get a 2D-HD remake similar to Live A Live and the Dragon Quest games.

Day 4: Currently Playing

I have ADHD so this list is too long to post lol. But I just finished Dragon Age Veilguard and am currently focusing on Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth.

Day 3: Hardest Boss Fight

See previously mentioned Casino Zone.

All kidding aside, the hardest one I can remember is this pink bastard from Budokai Tenkaichi 2. My cousin and I rented it and hit a roadblock right at the end. We re-rented just to try to beat him but never could. Maybe in 20 years.

Day 2: Most Hours in a Game

Not counting some mobile gacha games I played for years, I'd say the game I have the most hours in is Final Fantasy XIV. I've loved the franchise for years and this game just gets better and better. I should definitely play Dawntrail soon.

Day 1: First Video Game.

The first game I ever remember playing is Sonic the Hedgehog 2. My uncle had a Genesis he bought for when he had his neice and nephews over. I played it a bunch but never got past Casino Zone, until I tried again about 20 years later.
