I have successfully completed my 30 Day Video Game Challenge! Over the 30 days while I was keeping up with the daily posts, I was nominated for not one, not two, but FOUR awards! (And I just got nominated for another!) I’ll be sprinkling in these award posts over the month of March. This third award is courtesy of The Gaming Diaries! Thank you for the nomination Gaming Diaries! They have tons of great gaming reviews and other awesome content that you should check out on their blog!
Mystery Blogger Award Preview:
According to the creator, Okoto, “Mystery Blogger Award” is an award for amazing bloggers with ingenious posts. Their blog not only captivates; it inspires and motivates. They are one of the best out there, and they deserve every recognition they get. This award is also for bloggers who find fun and inspiration in blogging, and they do it with so much love and passion.
The Rules:
- Thank the blogger who nominated you and provide a link to their blog.
- Display the award logo on your blog.
- Mention the creator of the award and provide a link as well.
- List the rules.
- Tell your readers three things about yourself.
- Answer five questions from the nominator.
- Ask your nominees any five questions of your choice, including one weird or funny question.
- Nominate from 10 to 20 bloggers.
- Notify the bloggers by leaving a comment on their blog.
- Share the link to your best post.
Three things about me:
- I am originally from Alabama. I have a thick southern accent that gets attention. I say things like “y’all” and “two peas in a pod” and other southern things that you just don’t hear in STL.
- I have been out of the country once and that was to go to Ireland. I was there for two weeks visiting my then long distance boyfriend/now husband for two weeks. I can’t wait to go back.
- I have a serial killer fascination. If you do too, please comment with your favorite Netflix and Hulu shows as well as any podcasts you enjoy! 🙂
Questions:
If you could have one superpower/video game ability what would it be? I would love to be able to stop and rewind time! Like Hiro from Heroes or Max from Life is Strange.
What is your favorite film/TV program and who is your favorite character within it? This is a hard one. If I had to pick just one, it would be Hermione from Harry Potter.
If you could have a dinner party with 5 video game characters who would you invite? Kratos from God of War, Spyro the Dragon, Yuna from Final Fantasy X (and X-2), and Kairi and Aqua from the Kingdom Hearts series.
If you could only eat three foods for the rest of your life what would they be? Chips, fries, and baked potatoes… Wait, those are all potatoes!
If you could forget one game and play it again for the first time, what game would you pick and why? Skyrim. So much replay value. The game is massive and there’s still things I haven’t discovered in it. Definitely one of my top ten favorite games.
My Questions:
- If you could meet any video game/book/TV character, who would it be?
- Name your top 3 favorite websites.
- Which video game/book/TV character would you marry?
- What video game changed your life?
- What’s the background on your phone/computer right now?
My Nominations:

Luna @ GamersUnitedGG
Brad @ Cheap Boss Attack

That could work. I mean, if you can make it out of cauliflower, you can do anything right?

I’ll have to find a recipe for it. Thank you for the potential recipe inspiration!

Thanks for answering my questions. I have a feeling you like potatoes… Also Criminal Minds is awesome (I assume you watch that), I’ve just finished watching season 12.

I LOVE POTATOES! … I mean yes. 🙂
Criminal Minds is my jam. Definitely one of my favorite serial killer shows. I really miss Derek Morgan though. I like that we get to see him every once in awhile.

I know when Derek left I was so upset but I’m glad you still see him from time to time so he isn’t completely gone. I really like that Emily is back though. I now really want to binge watch my way through from Season 1… I should probably stop myself but I do love the show. I want to watch season 13 but had no way to watch it when it started so now I’m impatiently waiting for it to finish and release on dvd.

Emily is another of my favorite characters. In fact, I watched Friends for the third time and recognized the actor as Joey’s girlfriend! I told my husband “Look, it’s Prentiss!” because I’m terrible at remembering actors’ names. I might join you in rewatching it!

That sounds like something I would do as well. I probably shouldn’t be tempted to watch it again from the beginning with the lack of time to do this but the series are so good and it’s been a while since I watched the earlier series.

Firstly, congrats on the award! Second, thanks for the nomination!
Someone else just nominated me for this about two weeks ago, but I’d still like to answer your five questions =)
If you could meet any video game/book/TV character, who would it be?
I think Cole from Dragon Age: Inquisition would provide endless hours of interesting conversation. I’d have picked Dorian from the same game, but he’d likely make me feel incredibly stupid with his intelligence.
Name your top 3 favorite websites.
Giant Bomb
NJPWworld (the English translated website for the Japanese wrestling promotion)
Twitter (yes, I use the browser version the most!)
Which video game/book/TV character would you marry?
I’ve been married and divorced before, so I think I’m okay there lol.
What video game changed your life?
The original Metroid and Legend of Zelda on NES. Both games gave an unparalleled sense of adventure to my 6-year-old self and began my 30-year obsessed with video games.
What’s the background on your phone/computer right now?

You’re welcome! Thank you for answering my questions. 🙂 I have yet to play NieR:Automata but my husband has it and has enjoyed it so far. Pretty wicked background!

Nier Automata may be my favorite game of all time. It connected with me so much, from the different stories, the way it deals with tragic themes, sentience, suicide, depression, self-worth, and how the brilliant soundtrack elevates the experience. Some folks hated it, but I think about it pretty regularly.
