Welcome PSNP! Welcome back to the Member Interviews, there has been an unfortunate delay, and thus the next round of selection will be underway immediately to make up for lost time. Without further adieu, let's please all welcome, @maiathewinners!

Stock Questions

How did you come up with your PSN name?

This is a funny one, you will be surprised. I used to have another account before creating this one, I don't remember how the name was exactly, but I remember it having those “xX” you used to see a lot during the PS3/XBOX360 era (I was young and thought it was cool, don't judge ). When I grew up I started to dislike that name (I wonder why ) so since PSN didn't have the option to change your ID I just created a brand new account. 

 

While I was creating this account I had so many ID’s I wanted to use but unfortunately all of them were taken. I was left with nothing so in the “heat” of the moment I came up with “maiathewinners”. The “winners” part is because I used to play a lot of multiplayer games with my friends, so when creating this account I wanted to show how good I was at the game (and then I stopped playing multiplayer games ), “maia” well, first letter of our name, mine goes first “M” then their letters. “maia” is also the name of one city in Portugal and the portuguese name of “Maya The Bee”, I’m sure you weren't expecting this one. 

 

I thought of changing my name to Aecesaje, the one I use for most social networks. This game is based around Assassin's Creed, if you take the first letter of each Assassin, from release order, till 2015, you end up with this beautiful name that everyone thinks I got by smashing my keyboard.

 

What games convinced you get your PlayStation 3, Playstation Vita, and PlayStation 4?

Remember MAG? How revolutionary it was? Well I sure do remember playing it and loving it. My friends told me about this game and how incredible it was, so me being young did what everyone my age would do, ask my parents for a PS3. After waiting some time and doing chores around the house I got my PS3 in Christmas 2010. Needless to say I played it a lot and surprisingly it's still kicking today. I'm probably one of the few people on Earth that got a PS3 because of MAG but I was happy with it and that's what's more important. 

 

For the PS4, well it wasn't MAG that's for sure, this time it was Uncharted 4 and Sony’s E3 2016 conference. I tried to get the Uncharted 4 limited edition PS4 but was unsuccessful on that, so I just waited. During the waiting E3 came around and Sony knocked it out of the park, God of War, Spider Man, Resident Evil 7, Death Stranding, Horizon, Crash Bandicoot, just thinking about this conference makes me want to go back in time and watch it all again, I don't think there will be any conference that can top this one. 

 

Have you ever been tempted to switch over to the Xbox/Nintendo/PC gaming ecosystems?

No and yes, PlayStation is where I play the most. I used to play on PC (fathers PC, of course) but gave up, the community there is just so toxic “Oh you don't have this specs?” “PC Master Race. Console people are peasants!” and other funny quotes. The PC community is just a bunch of people trying to prove they are better than others, I just can't stand people like that. 

 

Since I already had some experience with the PS3, like I said above, I just went there and started new, the rest is history. Created a new account and started playing and let me tell you, console communities are much better than PC. Here we actually discuss games instead of comparing specs and downplaying others 

 

If for some reason I had to change again it would be for Nintendo, they have so many different games and I really want to try Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey someday. Also the Switch has the NES and SNES virtual console which, for me, is a really big selling point. 

 

What are your top 5 game series and why?

In no particular order:

 

• Assassin's Creed - For me, the perfect mix between combat and stealth. Being able to walk in all this different time periods with a good plot (sometimes) makes a perfect mix. Also, I love walking around the open world getting all the chests. 
• Batman Arkham - Well it's Batman and these games capture everything Batman is, from the villains to my boy Alfred. Also it has one of my favorite versions of Riddler (I don't care what people say, Riddler is the best villain in Batman's rogue gallery). 
• Hitman - The liberty this games give you is incredible, the ridiculous ways you have to take down your targets is what makes the game shine, you would never guess you could drop a coconut in a your target’s head to kill him, you never thought of disguising yourself as a Yoga teacher to lure your target to the balcony in order to throw her. There's so many ways to complete your mission. 

 

This is my top 3, I can't think on more franchises that can make the top, you could also add Crash Bandicoot, God of War, Prince of Persia, Bioshock, Uncharted, Sly Cooper and many more. I can't rate this, if I could I would put all of them in my Top 5.

 

What are your top 5 games and why?

Now, this list is totally different from my Top 5 franchises. From worst to best:

 

1. Red Dead Redemption - Cowboy goes yee haw. The plot was good, the characters were well made, the world was incredible at the time. It holds a special place for me, I can't believe it took this long for me to get the platinum. 
2. Rhythm Heaven (Rhythm Paradise) - This is a strange one to put here as I'm not sure if I love this game so much to put it in my Top 5 but here it goes. Incredible music with addicting gameplay, the whole game works around the DS touchpad, which I found better than the GBA release, for example, where you would just tap A in most games. 
3. God of War - The adventures of Regret Man and Boy. The different types of gameplay was a welcome change for me. The plot was good but nothing extraordinary. What makes you stick to the game is it's world building 
4. Super Mario Galaxy - This game brings me nostalgia. All the afternoons I spent playing this while collecting every star. Gusty Garden Galaxy fills you with memories and a sense of happiness that is impossible to explain. 
5. Bloodborne - Well my favorite game on the list. This follows the common troops I said in the other games, incredible music, the best world building I ever saw, incredible gameplay. Just to think I hated this game when I first played it, I'm so thankful I gave it another chance. 

 

Which unreleased game(s) are you looking forward to the most and why?

Currently I only have 2 games I’m really looking forward to, Horizon Forbidden West and Miles Morales. I think it's pretty obvious why.

 

Horizon was one of the best games that came out last on the PS4, a brand new IP that innovated Guerrilla Games, Aloy was charismatic and Sylens remains a mystery. 

 

Miles Morales because I like the concept of using not so well known characters, ever since “Into The Spider-Verse” Miles became one of my favorite heroes, I knew him from the comics but never read much about him, I can't wait how they will use his powers in the game.

 

Do you have any other hobbies outside of gaming?

When I'm not playing, I'm probably watching a movie, reading, exercising. 

 

I really can't elaborate more without sounding generic.

 

Top 5 TV shows, Movies, and/or anime, why, and would you recommend them to people?

1. Gotham 
   • Gotham is a must see for any Batman fan, it has practically all of Batman's rogue gallery, with Penguin and Riddler stealing the show every time they are on screen. 
2. Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse
   • Spider-Man and Wall-E share the same reason, a light hearted story about struggles and how to overcome them. 
3. Lighthouse 
   • Lighthouse is what movies are all about, great cinematography and acting. Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattison made a great duo. While I can see this movie not pleasing everybody, it is worth a try. 
4. Wall-E
5. Jojo Bizarre Adventures

   • Finally Jojo, over the top, just that. It's the kind of show that you watch to turn your brain off for a few moments. 

 

Top 5 favorite music bands/group/artists/composers/ost?

I don't listen to music that often, I don't even have a favorite genre. If I had to choose I would say Bloodborne OST is my favorite, the epic style mixture with the chorus makes it so good. 

 

Your favorite platinum and why?

Batman Arkham Origins without a doubt. I started it because I wanted to have the entire Arkham collection 100% or atleast with the platinum but I would have never guessed how life changing that plat would be. 

 

I met a lot of nice people while boosting the multiplayer trophies, it was such a nice experience that we still talk today. Let's say if it wasn't for the those trophies I would still be an introvert 

 

The singleplayer was a fair challenge, 3 playthroughs was a bit too much and the challenges were hard but not impossible, the open world was fun to explore and Riddler data packs were fun to collect. Permadeath playthrough was actually easy, you only need to pay attention to boss fights and environment hazards. 

 

Your least favorite platinum and why?

Sly Chameleon, 2/10 my ass, this game is easily a 5/10 if not a 6/10. 

 

It's just so hard the controls were bad, the beginning was fun but once you reach the second world everything starts to fall apart. Your character can be spotted even when he isn't on the “white” field of view. 

 

But what really killed all the fun was the speedrun trophy, I still remember, “complete the game under 18 minutes”, trying to do a good time on a broken game is impossible, some levels were just… Just thinking about this game makes me rage, it tested me, what was supposed to be a quick ride turned into a nightmare. 

 

If you could have one game from any gaming generation be remade or re-released, which one would it be and why?

Maybe Spec Ops: The Line or The Saboteur. These games went under everybody's radar and only now are getting traction. 

 

Spec Ops was an incredible plot and I think everyone should experience it at least one time. With a remake this would be possible, they could change some points of the story and maybe make it longer, maybe even add more choices with a bigger impact on the story. 

 

The Saboteur could do with a remaster, the black and white was an interesting direction and the game is just fun to play. Now that I think of it, I have to find my old copy and replay this gem. 

 

Honorable mentions go to, Simpsons Hit and Run, The Suffering and Bully. 

 

How far are you willing to go for a platinum?

Really far, I always try to do everything I can to get a platinum even if it means playing the game a bunch of times. 

 

One game that comes to mind is Under Night, I wasn't good at fighting games and blindly started this one thinking it would be an easy platinum. It wasn't. I left this game unfinished for years in my list and only recently came back to it. Even with me failing multiple times I powered through it and eventually succeeded. The thing is, never give up, you will eventually make it, might take a week or might take some years, but you will get it. 

 

What feature (besides backwards compatibility) do you think the next console generation should have?

I want a lot of things for this new generation and most of them were already promised (like backwards compatibility). 

 

One thing that Sony hasn't confirmed yet is a time tracker for each game you play. I want to know how much time I spent in a game, Sony sends you an email every year telling you how much time you spent on 3 games so why can't they do it full time? Just put it on the UI under your games, it is easy (I hope). 

 

I would also like to see a trophy progress tracker, even more for grindy trophies. Many trophy hunters ask for this but Sony does not seem to listen. 

 

What is your favorite thing about PSNP?

Hmmmmmm . I can't tell, I use almost everything on this website. 

 

If I had to choose I would say the stats option. I can see how many trophies I unlocked each month, my trophy progression over the years, trophies by time and by day. I could lose hours just looking at the stats and remembering my old schedules (it's weird but it's a nice way to remember old games you played) 

 

What is your least favorite thing about PSNP?

Oh boy, this might upset some people but I absolutely hate some members here. Not saying any names nor shaming. 

 

Every time I open a thread discussing a trophy list for example it sometimes turns into a train wreck, people saying “trophy to hard” others go “not buying this game, trophy list doesn't look fun” and then “trophy hunters are just so soft” when this happens people lose the topic and the forum post ends up being a “who can come up with the best roasts” thread. I completely understand people wanting to express themselves but don't do that on a trophy thoughts thread,create a new one. 

 

I'm my opinion there should be 2 forum posts one for praising the game and trophy list and another to give your critics and opinions. 

 

Is there anyone in the PSNP Community you would like to give a shout out too and if so why?

Big shout out to all trophy guide writers and everybody that helped me on multiplayer trophies. Without them my trophy journey would be harder and longer and probably less fun. 

 

Community Questions

What has been the absolutely hardest game you’ve platinum’d?

I have no idea, I never struggle that much with the games I platinum. Currently I'm doing Spec Ops The Line and I can say it's hard but not something I will end up saying “Hardest platinum on my account”. For me every platinum is its own challenge. 

 

But if we touch on the 100% factor then it is Batman: Arkham Knight without a doubt. The Community Challenge pack took me 1-2 weeks to complete, the stealth challenges were super easy, the real problem lies in combat challenges. I thought the hardest one was for defeating Killer Croc in Iceberg Lounge, that is hard and requires skill to complete. 

 

If you could travel back in time to prevent and/or alter a bad thing that happened either to you specifically, or the world at large, what would it be?

I would probably go back to “the one PE class” where I opened the skin above my eye and part of my nose. I still remember this day like if it was yesterday, I was the goalkeeper (a bad one but still) and the opposing team had a professional basketball player. We were playing handball. 

 

Let's say you know where this is going, the basketball player throws the ball full force, with no seconds to react it lands on my face. I shake it off and go back to my position. People start looking at me in shock. The guy who threw the ball looks like he passed out multiple times and comes help me. Blood everywhere. 

 

The worst part is, I didn't feel a thing, I would still be playing if nobody told me I was bleeding everywhere. Now you ask yourself, “Why would he go back?”, well simple, I had a exam and a presentation after that class, I wasn't in the mood to do them, I was dizzy and in serious need to get checked but I was dumb enough to stay at school. Also, my PE teacher did nothing about my problem, he just saw the cut and said “better go to the hospital” and went back to his phone. 

 

Any pets?

A cat, I won't post a picture or everyone would get jealous . 

 

Getting PS5 day one?

I will try, Sony's silence is killing me. I just want to know how much it will be. After that, I will just go to the store and get my pre-order ready. I’m quite afraid I won't be able to get one with all this pandemic going on. 

 

What's your favorite game genre?

Stealth games are my go to. I just love sneaking around while avoiding all the guards. If a game has a trophy for finishing it without alerting any guard you can bet I will do that in my first playthrough. 

 

It's sad to see the stealth genre slowly doing, Hitman is the only big name franchise keeping it alive, but I believe Splinter Cell will come back eventually and then stealth might be popular again (this is just wishful thinking but I really hope it turns out to be true someday). 

 

How much grief did getting the time trial trophy in Stormy Ascent for Crash Bandicoot give you?

A lot. 

 

Long story short, this took a while to get and when I eventually accomplished such a hard feat I was literally shaking. Maybe it was the adrenaline kicking in my I was shaking way too much. When the trophy finally unlocked I just ran to the kitchen and stayed there looking outside the window. Do you know the meme where Kermit is looking outside on a rainy day? That was me for a solid 5 minutes. I don't remember what was going through my head but I was probably reconsidering my life choices. 

 

When the PSNP Interview project was approved to be revived, what were your expectations, if anything? Were you hopeful?

To be honest, I wasn't expecting to be interviewed this early, I should have trained my english more before coming here (sorry in advance for all the broken English, thank God Google docs is fixing most of my spelling). 

 

All I have to say is that I'm thankful for this opportunity and I hope people are enjoying reading it as much as I enjoyed answering these questions. 

 

What are some of the best games you have a Platinum in your PS library?

I don't know if the question is about what games I platinum I think are the best or the best rated games I’ve platinum. I will go with the second option. 

 

I have played many well known games that receive a bunch of awards. I got the platinum for God of War which on Best game of 2018. I also have the platinum in a bunch of games that were nominated for GOTY like: Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted 4, Spider Man, AC Odyssey, Batman Arkham Knight, Bloodborne, the list goes on. 

 

What are the best 3 games you have played?

I already answered this question but keeping it short. 

 

God of War in third, Super Mario Galaxy in second, Bloodborne in first. 

 

Are there any cancelled games you were looking forward to but never got to play?

I’m still sad the reboot for Silent Hill got canceled. I never got to play PT but saw so many videos of it back in the day. I always thought it was genius for them to make you use other peripherals to go through the game like having to use your microphone. 

 

I also loved the mystery around the game and how crazy the last room was. If the game did come out it would have innovated the horror genre, psychological horror is way better than a jumpscares here and there. Imagine a game where there aren't any jumpscares, just a creepy vibe in the air, the feeling of you being stalked by some creature. That is horror at it’s finest. 

 

If you are interested in this type of stuff, there's a really short game called September 1999. After you see this the definition of horror will change for you. 

 

How did you get into trophy hunting and why do you do it?

I was always a completionist, I always tried to get every star coin in Super Mario, every crystal in the original Crash Bandicoot, etc. 

 

Trophies are just the cherry on top, I'm being awarded for doing a thing I have been doing for my whole life. Before trophies I had no way to prove I have done such a thing, now I can. 

 

I like to collect trophies and 100%, it’s my way to have fun while playing games. Will I play a game just for trophies? No, of course not. Will I avoid a game because of trophies? Maybe yes, maybe not, if I really want to play a game I will do it on my main account, if I just to see how it is and how it feels to play it I start it on my second account. Simple like that. 

 

If someday trophies go away to never come back I will be sad, of course, but I will be happy to have done something I liked. Nothing can erase memories, the moments you spent trophy hunting will be with you forever.

 

Is there a country you'd ever like to visit in the future? 

I really want to go to Italy someday. I love the culture and the history behind the country. 

 

If I ever go there I would need to do a whole tour through the country, I need to visit every major city and every major location. One week wouldn't be enough. 

 

What is your favorite SpongeBob meme?

Spoiler

 

What video character reminds you most of yourself and why?

Nice question, I would say Nathan Drake but I'm not sure. 

 

In most Uncharted games he is cracking jokes in the worst moments and is always trying to see the positive side of a bad situation. The only difference between me and him is that he is agile, I'm not. (and that he knows how to survive in the middle of a forest, I would probably be dead in the first week).

 

I feel a Zombie apocalypse coming soon and plan to get stuck in a mall if possible... What store inside the mall should I get stuck in and use as my base of operations and why?

Ok, let's see. The right answer would be a big chain supermarket like Walmart. I don't know about other countries but every shopping mall over here has a “all things” store. There you would have food, clothes, electronics and medicine. You would be set for some months. 

 

Since there wouldn't be weapons, you would need to use those metal sticks or some bat laying around. Then it's just building some fences with pointy sticks and slowly taking over the mall. 

 

I’m probably the only person that gave a genuine answer to this but there you go. Don't forget to be quick before time runs out. 

 

What is your most favorite Youtube video of all time?

I really can't decide, my humor is really strange, I can only laugh at the stupidest things ever known to man. Well, here's the top 3.

Spoiler

 

https://youtu.be/lM6hQj4eDtA

 

https://youtu.be/cSWqNeEXMNg

 

 

If you could go anywhere in the world for a week-long vacation, where would you go and why?

Italy, I answered a similar question. Short explanation, mainly because of the culture and history. 

 

Do you know what game the phrase "Grass grows, sun shines, birds fly, and brother....I come back from the dead!" is from?

Team Fortress 2 when Scout is using the Voodoo-Cursed skin? (I totally did not Google the answer, not at all, I knew the answer. Why do you ask?) 

 

Is PlayStation really more famous than its competitors in Europe?

Yes, absolutely. Let me tell you, most tech stores have a full wall of PS4 games, around 4 meters in length, Xbox only gets 1 meter and that's being nice. 

 

Most people use PlayStation or Nintendo over here. But the truth is, Xbox took one year to come to Europe. While PS4 released at the end of 2013, Xbox only appeared in October 2014, this is a really big gap and around that time most people would have already picked up their next gen consoles. 

 

What most people that don't know much about games over here think is that PlayStation and Nintendo is where you play games and Xbox is that thing Windows is always advertising on the desktop. Actually I haven't seen a Xbox One X on sale since it came out, to be honest, I haven't seen a Xbox One on sale for some time now, I don't know if you have to order them now. Please someone correct me as I'm not sure. 

 

What are your thoughts about Cristiano Ronaldo?

Great player, really nice person. I would say he is what most portuguese people are. Really nice people, even when going through tough times. 

 

I just don't like that my country is mainly known by Ronaldo, we have so many other things we are proud about. I know that him being famous attracts more eyes but I would like the rest of the world to take a deeper look at the history of the country and culture. 

 

Did you go to FIFA World Cup Russia 2018?

No, I stayed at the comfort of my home. I'm not a big fan of football and I really can't stand big crowds. Combining two things is a dangerous mix. 

 

I would probably only go to a FIFA World Cup if it was happening in my country or Spain. 

 

Would you ever plan to play FFXIII (on PS3, or if Square chooses to remaster it for PS5)?

I never played Final Fantasy in my entire life. If I was to start now I would need to follow the chronological order of the series, that means I would be stuck on the first few games for a really long time and would probably lose interest along the way. 

 

What I'm trying to say is that it is not impossible for me to start it someday, but it is a really slim chance for it to happen. 

 

Does Brazilian Portuguese feels different that the one you're used to (like Spanish and Latin-american, or British and American)?

Yes and no, it depends on the region. For example, I can understand people from São Paulo but can't understand one word from people from the northwest of Brazil. 

 

Putting this in a more “english” perspective, it's like comparing English from England and English from Scotland. They speak the same language but the tune is different, it's harder for most people to understand English from Scotland, I think you get the picture. 

 

It all depends of the region, sometimes I can't even understand people from the country I live in because they are from different locations.

 

What do you think about your backlog, planning into finishing it?

My backlog isn't big, 5 games on the PS3 and 5 games on the PS4, they being games I bought. 

I could finish them in some months but if I don't feel like playing those games I will play something else like a random game on PS Now (I don't count those as backlog games since they come from a subscription). 

 

I should finish my PS3 backlog really soon to be honest. PS5 is coming out soon and with that the PS3 servers might get turned off. I personally don't think it's going to happen soon but it's better be prepared just in case it does happen. 

 

You briefly made an appearance 2 months ago in the "Mein Leben Runs" thread for Wolfenstein 2 in which you said, "I'm going to start this soon, fingers crossed." But you still haven't started Wolfenstein 2. Did you change your mind? If not, when are you planning to begin your journey through Mein Leben?

 

Yes, I still have plans to start Wolfenstein 2, I want to get the reboot series all platinum and 100%. Unfortunately the worst case situation happened and my PS4 gets really loud while playing it making me afraid it might overheat. Even after multiple checks and thermal paste changes it still does a lot of noise so I just moved Wolfenstein 2 for when I get the PS5. Who knows, maybe it will run better or with higher fps on the PS5 making the platinum easier. For now until the PS5 comes out, I will stick with streaming games off PS Now. 

 

I still have my plan to tackle Mein Leben. First I will do a playthrough on normal while enjoying the game, next a playthrough on IaDI just to get a feel of things to come, while on this playthrough I will do a save on each chapter. After that I will try every chapter individually until I can breeze through them without dying, this is the step that will take longer but it's the most important one. When all this is done it will be Mein Leben time, I hope that after all this training I will be able to overcome the challenge. I will probably try one playthrough per day if I have the time to do so. 

 

Is apple juice the most delicious beverage known to humanity?

Of course, while we are at it peach juice was made by Satan himself to punish our throats. And no, I'm not wrong on this one. 

 

What is your opinion about The Witcher 3?

A hidden gem, I'm so thankful for the small indie developer DC Strategy Blue getting all this recognition. I really love the Witcherino, I wish he was real.

 

For the people who didn't notice it, that's sarcasm over there. Being honest I never played The Witcher 3. Is it a good game? I have no idea, never tried it. I can only give my opinion after trying the game by myself, I don't want to jump into the “praise wagon” without knowing what I am talking about. 

 

What is your favorite dog breed?

I'm not a big fan of dogs, I always was a cat person. If I had to choose a dog breed I would probably go with “Portuguese Sheepdog” since that was the dog my grandma used to have. 

 

Actually I would choose any breed that has a small dog. I live in a small space so a big dog would take a lot of space. 

 

What is something that you have to do before you pass away?

Everytime I think about that my answer is always “leave my mark”. 

 

Before I go I will have to leave my mark to the world, the sign that I was here. The worst part is how I will do it. I like to make people laugh so I would need to leave something funny behind. 

 

I also thought in creating something new that could be used by multiple people. I could create a program that makes daily life easier but what would it be? This is dreaming big but with enough dedication I will be able to achieve my goals. 

 

Do you prefer to bake or to cook?

If I'm baking I'm, in theory, cooking. 

 

I will go with cooking. 

 

What is your favorite type of cuisine to eat?

Portuguese cuisine of course. So many different plates to try out, every single region has a different type of food and different ways to prepare it 

 

It's hard to explain, it's something you have to try out to know the feeling. 

 

Whats the meaning of life?

Life exists so we can flex on other planets for not having life. (In the future, when Planet Earth X12-580-23 is discovered with some form of life, this will age like milk). 

 

How do you prove that you exist?

In “The Sims” you can lock people in a pool by putting fences around it. In this way they can’t leave and will end up dying. Knowing this, we can prove they are being controlled by humans and their life is just a simulation. 

 

Now in real life, if you get locked in a pool you can jump the fence and continue leaving. What does this mean? It means our version of reality is just a game called “The Sams” and people on Kepler 22B love to play it.

 

Unfortunately my good friend Descartes died some time ago. He was always trying to prove we existed and things like that. Good person but a little crazy.

 

He always talked about thinking was the answer and shit but we never paid much attention to it. 

 

Most disappointing PS4 game you've played?

None. I never hype games and if I do I completely forget they were supposed to come out. 

 

But if I had to choose a game everybody recommended to me and I didn't like I would say Tomb Raider. I didn't like it that much, it felt bland to be honest, it's just the same old story of overcoming and finding yourself. Don't get me wrong, the game is good but nothing special. 

I still have to try Rise of the Tomb Raider, let's see if that game makes me like this new trilogy. 

 

Biggest celebrity crush? 

I don't have any celebrity crush

Don Cheadle. 

 

Favorite season of the year?

I would have to say Winter. I really love the feeling of being under a blanket in my house and watching a movie or playing some game while I hear the rain knocking on the window. Also Christmas happens during the Winter so that's a plus. 

 

The only con is having to go outside during raining and windy days. How am I supposed to hold my umbrella straight? Wind is coming from every direction, I'm afraid something will snap (yes I'm that kind of person).

 

Favorite subject in school?

Unpopular opinion, math. 

 

Hear me out, I used to hate math but when I got in 10th grade I fell in love with it. My teacher was excellent and made math easy. She always tried to find a balance between work and free time. 

 

Nowadays I just love everything math related, of course when I can't solve something I just curse at it just to find the answer 1 hour later after taking a break. I believe everybody that likes math has this love/hate relation with it. 

 

Got any plan to complete Crypt of the Necrodancer?

Not yet, maybe I will make it my 1000th platinum. What do you say? Deal? 

 

Astronomy or Astrology?

Astronomy

 

Do you believe in ghosts?

Yes. 

 

Do you believe in goats?

No. They are actually ghosts in disguise.

Great read, I especially liked this part:

 

I'm my opinion there should be 2 forum posts one for praising the game and trophy list and another to give your critics and opinions.

 

It seems some members here are too fragile to handle conflicting points of view. You might have cracked the code.

Thank you very much for answering my dubious and silly questions, @maiathewinners! Absolutely interesting interview; I was keeping an eye on the results and I feel satisfied. I asked about Cristiano by one reason: I enjoy soccer as a very casual watcher when the Champions League is on, and precisely the most intriguing thing to me was the PS and soccer both in Europe. When I tune some match, it amazed me that only PS4 (there are PS5 marketing already) display on the play yards and are very aggressive in my opinion. I remember that since PS2 era, hence my questions. 

 

And now, with WII: TNC, well... I have it in my backlog as it came in a package with Doom 2016, and happens I'm a completitionist. Therefore, you should imagine the struggle that this can cause me. But since I'm subscribed to a challenge where you stick to games of your choice, I have little room to play other games or sidetrack from the ones I've already minded to play ahead. But seeing my favorite trophy hunter do it in speed run record boosted my interest to give my best and get that mythical 100% for the game. I like your approach, as I think I'll do that too: enjoy the game first and then hit it with all you have, with chapter select and so on. The thing to place a trophy in the cabinet and as a milestone has made me to rethink it, and probably it can be my 50th platinum or may be the 100th! I don't know, many things can happen, but playing it is a must. Also, been playing other FPS with certain trophies that have personally devastated me. I never imagined what I had gotten into until I played them, which are actually the 2 games that I finished (trophy wise) recently. And I don't know, starting with the mythical Mein Leben would basically be suicide, LMAO. I've to try other "impossible" games before that, like Crash N. Sane Trilogy, Hollow Knight and Cuphead (well, the latter could be impossible, but since people are getting the Plat so quick I doubted, even it took me almost 3 years to finish it on PC, smh). 

 

Appreciate your time to even wonder about this humble lad and hope you enjoy your hunting! 10 games aren't that bad. I highly recommend you to check out that challenge; check it out and if convince you, I'll see you in the threads. Cheers for you and good vibes!
