Why Battlefield 1943 is the worst game EVER!
Age: 23
Location: Ottawa, ON, Canada.
Profile: I'm a longtime gamer, and started playing video games during the transition from the NES to the SNES. Although I like retro games, I play mostly newer games on the 360. Still, my favourite gaming memories are from all-nighters filled with Goldeneye, Perfect Dark and Smash Bros. in the late 90s.
I'm looking for a career in public service, politics or other fields where research and writing are critical. Though, the closer it's related to games, the better.
I make videos, animated gifs, podcasts and all kinds of random stuff in my spare time. I'm also trying to develop my own gaming website (details coming eventually).
Systems: NES, Super NES, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo 64, Wii, Sega Genesis, Playstation 2, Xbox 360, PC, Colecovision (my dad's). Also, many other systems (including arcade) that I not emulate.
Some Favourite Games:
Retro (NES-SNES eta): Megaman 3, Super Mario World, Super Mario All-Stars, Sonic 3, Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger, Robotrek, Illusion of Gaia, Megaman X, Lufia 1 and 2, Strider, Metal Slug, Twilight Zone pinball.
Retro Limbo (N64 era): Ogre Battle 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, Mario Kart 64, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Mystical Ninja starring Goemon, Goemon's Great Adventure, Descent: Freespace.
Modern: Halo: Reach, Modern Warfare 2, Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta, Tales of Vesperia, Fallout 3, Bionic Commando Rearmed, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Metroid Prime 1-3, Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam, Hearts of Iron II, Europa Universalis III, Civilization IV.

In this Friday feature, I take several pieces of music from different video games and mess them up somehow (like playing in reverse). Your job is to figure out what songs they are and what games they're from. 
Thanks to a good showing last week, Batthink takes the lead 1st: Batthink: 6 2nd: Blorp: 5 3rd: Pencoin: 2 4th: odber, etirflita: 1 Season 1 Winner: odber. 
Here's the answers to last week's Sonic-themed puzzle: #1) Easy: Sonic 2 - Oil Ocean Zone (etirflita) #2) Easy: Sonic and Knuckles - Lava Reef Zone (Batthink) #3) Medium: Sonic Adventure - Station Square (Batthink) #4) Medium: Sonic Advance 2 - Music Plant Zone Act 1 (No one got it) #5) Hard: Sonic 3D Blast - Green Grove Zone Act 2 (Batthink) #6) Hard: Sonic Chaos - Mecha Green Hill Zone (Figures no one would get this, being on the Master System and the Game Gear...) #7) LOL: Sonic the Hedgehog Animated Series (SatAM) - Opening (Batthink) 
This week, like pulling taffy, I stretched, compressed and otherwise mangled some game music, and the results are hopefully recognizable yet still a bit of a challenge to figure out. It's a 50/50 mix of retro and modern tracks, so maybe you youngsters out there might have better luck. The tracks run about 30 seconds each. Here are the clues: #1) Easy: An easy sell, indeed. #2) Medium: Definitely a hot track. #3) Medium: Lo and behold this famous theme! #4) Hard: Related to a 3DS game in development. #5) WTF?: Another theme that came up during the Nintendo press conference. Good Luck!
