My real name is Mark. But my name is also Mooks. It's short for Mookie. I want to be a writer, a director, a musician, a game designer, an actor, and a constantly awesome person. Most days I forget I'm a senior in college.
I have been gaming since I was a newborn, when my uncle put an unplugged NES controller in my hands. In some ways, I've never let go. From there I took the Nintendo/PC path down gaming lane. I had a Genesis, but the only games I had were Sonic games. My favorite game growing up was Earthbound.
I am obsessed with story in video games and am always looking for the next game that makes me laugh, cry, or think. Although I also love a good mindless shooter or puzzle game here and there.
On the topic of best stories in games, I believe these titles, in no particular order, showcase what I believe to be indicative of our medium moving forward as respectable artworks.
Mother (1 2 and 3)
Metal Gear Solid (particularly 2 and 3)
Anything touched by Tim Schafer

Ico

But yeah, that's it for now. See ya around D-Toid.

Still pretty fucking Excited though. Needs a Steam Release. Or DSi Ware. Or something....
I can understand the danger of overexposure and overhyping.... but honestly, there is a key difference between the two: Scott Pilgrim is an engaging and unique property. Unlike Twilight, the hype for this property is justified.
Also, I don't see an awesome video game being made of Twilight.... but I'm knocking on wood that that doesn't happen.
But yeah, to each they's own.
