Could you tell us something about yourself? How old are you? Where are you located and what are you currently engaged in?

o haii I'm marjorie in real life but you can call me marj for short. I'm a self proclaimed hard-headed BUT kind-hearted gal who loves to travel and discover new things in life. I have my own world like Peterpan's Neverland and Alice's Wonderland. Some people remember me bcoz I only have one character to cosplay and she's Jan Di from Boys Over Flowers ~ As of now, I'm outside PH. /gets disconnected. *tooot*tooot**. XD

When was the first time you actually played a video game? What's the name of the game and game system? What or who made you play?

since I was a kiddo. YAY for family computer! hahaha! :)) I usually played the car racing game wherein if you're about to reach the finish line, Superman suddenly appear! /insert SUPERMAN theme. ~and why would I forget the first time I played Super Mario and Contra! /GAMEOVER.


Do you own a video game console? If yes, what system? Was it your very fist console? What video game platform do you prefer? (PC, Consoles or Handheld)

yeah I have one.Nintendo dsi (in hot pink color) FTW! (though PSP is way better though..) I actually bought one for myself bcoz of the Kanji Sonomama Rakubiki jiten and all other Japanese Quiz games for my review.~ As of now, I'm looking forward to have XBOX360, PS3 and wii. but count my vote for handheld game consoles bcoz you can play any time of your day. Even if you're in the toire. :p


What is your favorite video game? Why?

POKEMON SERIES!~ bcoz I wanna be a POKEMON MASTER. HAHA! /lame. but yeah, pokemon is one of my favorite games. Then Final Fantasy and oh! I'd like to try Kingdom Hearts series! I heard a lot of good reviews on it.

How about a particular video game character, who's your favorite? Why?

Aire from FINAL FANTASY - FOUR HEROES OF LIGHT. ~ she's the mood-maker of the group, and I actually think I'm like one. HAHAHA! and YEAH, MARIO since forever.


Do you play online games? What are your current and all-time favorites? Are you part of a clan or guild? If yes, can you give us some info about your guild?

I played online games before, but due to busy sched, I quit. Ragnarok is classic for me. My character is either Merchant or Priestess. A close friend in college influenced me to play. XD

If you were to convince a friend or co-worker to play video games, how would you do it? Would you do crazy stuff just to convince him or her?

I think it's the other way around. I am surrounded by CERTIFIED GAME MASTERS, ~ I was the one being convinced. Most esp ICHI, he's actually the one who mostly suggest nice games.

Did playing video games make any difference in your life?

YES. Time flies when you're having FUN. hahaha! It kills BOREDOM. XD

Do you have any personal video game related story that you can share with us?

My life is already like a video game. It's always GAME-OVER but you can always START a NEW GAME.

Have you ever bought (or played) a pirated copy of a video game?

YES. /pliz don't stone me.


Any last message you wish to impart to our readers?

playing games is one way of relaxing ourselves,yes. Even playing a brick-game helps to ease boredom (or TETRIS is way modern term?) hahaha! Just don't forget that your day is not just about starring at the monitor/screen while pressing joystick all day long. bottomline~ not to be tamad plz. :)
