You're probably just too young, he's before your time. I'm like an old man compared to you after all you're like half my age

Pancakes or Waffles?

Pancakes.

Coca-Cola or Pepsi?

Well, I would prefer water, but if I absolutely had to pick one, it would be Coca-Cola.

Rammstein or Metallica?

Metallica. Love that band

White bread or brown bread?

White bread.

PS2 or Xbox original?

That's a tough one for me. The original Xbox is more powerful than the PS2 but because of all the memories and good releases (including the fact that I'm still playing the thing) I have to go with PS2. So many good games.

Sega Mega Drive or SNES?

I don't have either of those consoles, so I can't choose.

F1 or rally racing OR Cycling?

Ermm...Rally racing.

Working in the day OR Working at night?

Um, I think day. I'll "work" on something all night, but that's usually for my own projects. If it's something I'm doing for somebody else I tend to prefer to keep it to daylight hours. Although this is by no means a hard and fast rule.

Kelsey Grammer's voice or Kate Bush's voice?

Kelsey Grammer's voice. Frasier

Sprites OR 3D Modelling?

Sprites all the way. I think 3d modeling has reached quite the new milestone with the new gen of consoles but sprites will always have that more creative look. Neo Geo will always be peak for me in terms of sprite design, absolutely gorgeous. The animations are something to note to, some of those insanely over the top animations really can't be done in 3d- or at least not as well, take Metal Slug for example.

Old or new games?

Old games, but I admit it's probably just because the sample size is much larger. If we consider "new games" as games that came out in the last few years then there's just a much larger amount of games that qualify as "old", so there'll be more great games in that batch.

Having said that I do enjoy some of the qualities that seem to only exist in old games by nature, such as the genres of the time (like the golden age of 3-D platformers), the retro quality (such as the high quality sprite work you mentioned) and generally the philosophy behind games (for example how microtransactions and manipulative money making schemes seem to take priority over selling a fun experience these days).

Do you prefer games with a memorable narrative/adventure such as a Mario or Zelda title, or a purely action based game such as an online competitive game/rhythm game etc.?

Adventure games all the way. Nice to have a game that doesn't drive you crazy sometimes

Android or IOS?

Ah damn, I really wanted to answer Ambi's question, because I think I really prefer narrative in games sometimes, particularly longer JRPGs, I absolutely love when games tries to tell expansive stories through multiple timelines and such, always been a huge fan. Action games can be fun if we're talking Platinum or something but I'm really not much of an online gamer otherwise.

Anyways for Steo's question, I'd have to go Android, despite never being an Android user. I just can't support Apple anymore knowing they're purposely slowing down each new phone installment, I've always hated IOS but just dealt with what I have.

Playstation or N64?

PlayStation. PS2 FTW.

Coffee or Tea?

@Rayfist yeah that's a better answer for Ambi than mine was I'm an android user myself and I can't stand how limited IOS is vs Android. For some users that won't matter but I just don't like simple things like not being able to save an mp3 or send a file with Bluetooth etc. Not to mention not being allowed run software from unknown sources like you can on Android.

As for Aaron's question, Tea definitely. I can't function without my morning cup :I used to drink a lot of coffee years back but now it makes my stomach sick for some reason even though I like how it tastes.

Blur or Oasis?

Oasis.

Wine OR Beer?

Beer.

Nintendo or Sega (retro consoles when Sega still manufactured them)?

Nintendo. I love the Super Nintendo.

Black leather OR Brown Leather?
