What's Your Most Used Skin in Fortnite?
I'm constantly switching my skin in?Fortnite, so it's hard for me to calculate which one I've used more times. However, I think over the past few years, Ravage was my most used skin. When I got it, I simply wouldn't switch skins at all. I need to go back and use it again.
What Are Your Go-To Game Settings in Project Zomboid?
I always create a custom sandbox so I can keep the zombie population as low as possible without actually playing a game where there are no zombies. I love the concept of this game, but I'm terrible at combat.?
Which Minion Type Do You Usually Play in Hearthstone?
In regular Hearthstone I tend to play Rogue decks, so I frequent Pirates or Mechs. However, in Battlegrounds I was always a Dragons user, but have recently started to use more Murlocs and Demons, too.
Using Dual Blades in Monster Hunter Wilds Feels Like Cheating
The Dual Blades have always been easy to use, but with how generous their invincibility frames are when dodging in Wilds, it feels like I'm playing a different game when I'm using DBs on a hunt.
What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 28, 2025)
This is probably a silly question, given what game was released today! Nonetheless, are you playing?Monster Hunter Wilds?or something else? I'm out of town so it'll probably be?Two Point Museum?on my PC, and maybe I'll grab?MHW?once I get home. What are you playing, and on what gaming system?
I Love Mad Libs But Can't Stand Cards Against Humanity
I feel like the concept of Cards Against Humanity is close enough to Mad Libs - you just have to fill in the blanks. However, I much prefer the concept of creating a funny text than filling in silly cards, especially since you don't actually come up with your own words and phrases. On top of that, and the problem might be that I'm not too a prude, but the cards feel a bit?too much?sometimes.
Was Fortnite Really Better Back in Chapter 1 or Is It the Nostalgia Speaking?
I was very excited when Epic Games announced Season OG. However, when it actually came out, I didn't play it as much as I expected to - the same goes for the release of?Fortnite?Reload. I'm not sure if it's because I don't have as much free time as I did back when Chapter 1 was actually live, but I don't think that's the case because I mostly play the standard?Fortnite?Battle Royale game mode when I want to have some fun with the game.
Which Pokemon TCG Pocket Type is Your Favorite For Building Decks?
I've always been a big Ghost Type fan, so I tend to try to play a lot of Darkness and/or Psychic decks when possible since most Ghost Types are organized into those two TCG attributes. However, there currently aren't too many significant Darkness deck builds in the meta at the moment, so I'm always excited to see more pop up with each expansion.
What's Your Favorite Emote that You Own in Fortnite?
Out of all the ones I own, Orange Justice, Phone It In, and True Heart are three of my top favorites. However, this list changes from time to time. I also really like Shanty for a Squad, but unfortunately, no one ever does it with me in the lobby.
Which Popular Game or Series Have You Been Meaning To Play, But Just Haven't Gotten Around To Yet?
For me, it would be the Arkham games. I've been hearing nothing but great things about them for years, and they're my kind of game, but I've never played them. I'm not quite sure why this is, but I'm setting out to rectify it: Just yesterday, I dove into Arkham Asylum. I've been having a blast with it, particularly with the combat, just as I knew I would.
Which Starter Are You Picking in Pokemon Legends: Z-A?
Players will have to choose between?Chikorita (Grass-type), Tepig (Fire-type), and Totodile (Water-type) in?Pokemon Legends: Z-A. I usually pick the coolest or the cutest starter when I start a new save file in?Pokemon. At the moment, I'm inclined to choose Chikorita, but that might change once the game is out.
Are You Excited for Pokemon Champions?
As much as I love Pokemon, I think I might skip out on playing Pokemon Champions. Competitive battling has never been my favorite thing about the series, so I'm not sure if it's up my alley.
What's Your Favorite Piece Of Music From A Video Game?
Though the world of video gaming is chock-full of wonderful pieces of music, my all-time favorite song from a game would have to be "Musique pour la Tristesse de Xion" from Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. I've always adored Yoko Shimomura's work, but there's something special about this particular track that I've always been drawn to.
What's The Best Game You've Played Outside Of Your Comfort Genres?
I recently played Dying Light for the first time. It wasn't exactly my cup of tea, but I was pretty impressed by how ahead of its time it was. It's one of those games where the gameplay and the world really pushed the boundaries of what was expected at the time, and it still feels really good to parkour and destroy zombies in it today.
What's The Highest Rank You've Reached in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links' Ranked Play?
It has been many years since I last played Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links, but I got up to Silver Rank 2. I probably could have gotten further, but I got distracted, put the game down, and then lost the account, so I had to start from scratch.
Fortnite Story Quests Need to Rely Less on NPCs
I know that the characters on the Battle Royale island are crucial to the current storyline. However, Story Quests feel a bit monotonous because they have you going back and forth between characters way too often. I immediately start feeling bored just thinking and anticipating the fact that I'll most likely have to return to Hope, Kendo, Skillet, or Valentina to speak to them after completing a few quests. It would be best if Epic added a way for us to contact them without having to return to the same location over and over again. This is particularly aggravating when everyone on the map is landing there or if there are other teams camping nearby to take down unsuspecting players.
Do You Prefer Creating Your Own Families Or Playing The Pre-Made Households in The Sims Games?
I loved playing pre-made households back in The Sims and The Sims 2. The second game was especially awesome due to all the scripted events, and I recently went through a few of the neighborhoods using the old The Sims 2 Prima Game Guide. In later installments, I feel like a lot of the pre-made households lost their quirkiness, so in 3 and 4 I exclusively make my own families.
Which Pokemon Spin-off Needs a Comeback?
With the Pokemon Presents 2025 happening soon, I would just faint if The Pokemon Company were to bring back the dormant Pokemon Ranger series. The Switch doesn't really make use of the touch-screen, and the sub-series was never that popular, but a man can dream, right??

Which Striker Are You Maining in Mecha Break?
I had my doubts at first, but I'm fully committed to using Falcon as many times as the game would let me. Its damage output was offputting at first, but once I learned how to use this mech properly, everything clicked into place.
We Need a New Splinter Cell Game For This New Generation
I think it's one of the best franchises ever and deserves a new game or, at least, a remaster.
