[up] Before. When the Kirby anime did come out I had forgotten about my call. XD

My very first time raising Chao in Sonic Adventure 2 (for the Dreamcast), I didn't want to raise them with anyone but Rouge for some reason—I think it was because she was the only female playable character. So when the time came to raise a Hero Chao, well... let's just say the poor little guy had a very hard life...

Let's see:

I have never played Ocarina of Time.

I'm STILL scared of those damn Skulltulas in Twilight Princess, which is why I don't play it anymore.

I have a crush on Chrom from Fire Emblem Awakening. *blushes* ...In my defense, his voice is hot. And he's dorky and nice, that's my kind of man.

I ALWAYS cry at the end of Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door.

Whenever people say Corona Mountain from Super Mario Sunshine is hard, I'm like, "Huh? It's not that bad."

I'm not a lesbian, but I kinda have girl crushes on Samus, Zelda and Rosalina. ...Shut up.

When I got to the Palace of Shadow in Paper Mario 2, I got so frightened by the room with the spikes, that I stopped playing for several months.

I REALLY dislike Paper Mario Sticker Star. In my opinion, it's the worst Mario RPG I've ever played.

I actually do not like Dimentio from Super Paper Mario at all, because I don't find him funny. Same goes for Fawful from the Mario & Luigi series.

On Bowser's Inside Story, I screwed up SO MANY TIMES on that fucking Carrot mini-game that I literally had to use a pencil for it.

[up]Aside from never playing Oo T and disliking Dimentio and Fawful, most of those are pretty understandable.

As for my shameful secrets, despite being born in the late 90's, my first non-computer console was a D Si.

I also have not played OOT (I will get the 3ds version at some point, I swear!)

I actually don't hate the Atlantica Section in Kingdom Hearts 2 (the one thing I absolutely hate about it is that you can't do it in one shot like every other world. The Unexpected Gameplay Change was alright, since I like Rhythm Games.)

[down]Hahaha, Wind Waker's my favorite too! Though I think that's less shameful than saying, say Phantom Hourglass or something.

[up][up] The reason I feel ashamed of the OOT one is because I've been a Zelda fan since 2006, and a lot of fans keep insisting it's the best Zelda ever. Another shameful game secret I have is Wind Waker is my favorite Zelda game.

I also feel ashamed of disliking Dimentio and Fawful is because they're popular characters in the Mario fandom. But to me, they came off as annoying rather than funny, but humor, like beauty is subjective.

I've never had trouble with Corona Mountain, because I'm super careful when it comes to levels like that, which is probably why I'm confused about people saying it's hard.

I had nightmares after the level in Max Payne where Mona drugs you and you have to run in a maze of hallways and then on a line of blood while there's screaming in the background.

I never played a horror game, or watched a horror movie (an actually scary movie, not slashers), because of that.

[up][up][up][up][up]You misunderstood me. I meant those are the only ones you should be ashamed of. The rest are completely fine things to think. The things you said are scary and sad are genuinely scary and sad, pretty much everyone loves Chrom, Samus, Rosalina, and Zelda, and Sticker Star is hated by quite a lot of people.

[up] I never played enough of Not-Paper-Mario to know anything about Dimentio, but I agree with Princess Gwen that Fawful is horrible and annoying. I can't go without saying it.

Nope.

[up][up] Oh, sorry about that. I should've explained a bit more why I find those things kind of shameful.

I feel like it's a little weird to have a crush on fictional characters because well, they're not real. I feel like I'm going to be made fun of for admitting that I do have crushes on characters.

Maybe it's my arachnophobia creeping in when I say I'm terrified of the Skulltulas in Twilight Princess, and I feel like it's a stupid reason to not play a game anymore.

[up][up][up][up] I think my problem with Fawful is mostly Hype Backlash. I looked through those quotes and chuckled at a couple of them, but the very first quote on that page, "I HAVE FURY!", is what defines the character to me; I heard it so many times that I just got sick of him, I suppose. Aside from that, it just seems like he's too prominent for his gimmick. Characters that are defined by extremely butchered language usually don't show up so often. Basically, Fawful is like a personified forced meme. Which actually makes him slightly more interesting, now that I think about it.

P.S. While I was in my profile, I decided to enter "right behind you" as my location. But then I saw that Hamburger Time already did that, and that made me feel awkward and more embarrassed that it probably should, so I deleted it. Just to let anyone who might have noticed know.

[up] I just don't find his broken English all that funny. Even before I knew how popular he was. Also, since you haven't played Super Paper Mario, Dino, I'll explain who Dimentio is.

Dimentio is one of Count Bleck's "minions" whose sense of humor is speaking in weird similes. I didn't find him funny because his similes either confused me or just sounded groan inducing. I won't spoil what Dimentio does near the end of the game, but it's not good.

[up] Yes, looking at some of his quotes, Dimentio does seem to be an awful lot like a grammatically correct Fawful. I do know about the thing at the end though. I've played Super Paper Mario, but I don't own or plan on ever owning it, or even finishing it at all. I'm in the camp of "I just want a new Paper Mario that doesn't try to fundamentally change everything that made the first two so good."

[up]Oh, oops. Guess I misunderstood you. Well I liked Super Paper Mario, so I wouldn't mind too much if Paper Mario 5 was like that. I guess that's another shame I can add to the list.

@Gwen: Hey, I'd be the first to admit having a crush on a fictional character (specifically, Curly Brace from Cave Story). As for Fawful, it's not really the Engrish that sells him for me, but his constant food-based metaphorgottens and his ability to turn castles into badass mechas in a few days.

Anyways, another shameful secret ... I liked the Kung Fu Panda game as a kid.

Regarding the whole "misbalanced Pokemon teams", my 4-or-5-year-old self (I don't remember exactly) was competent enough to actually raise a fairly balanced team in Blue Version, including a Gengar and a Dragonite that I somehow had the patience to raise.

Then came Gen II, and for whatever reason I regressed into the "raise only the starter" gameplay, and maintained that until finally breaking it in Diamond version, and even then Empoleon was about 10 levels above the rest of my team. Since then I raise level-balanced teams though.

So yeah, I didn't start out as that kind of player, I somehow regressed into one.

[up][up]I'm guilty of this too.

I even used it against my rival's pokemon. All of them. And I always chose the fire starter.

On the plus side, I found that if you had enough mystery berries in G/S, getting the fire starter to level 60(?) so they knew flamethrower let you solo the entire Elite 4.
