Questions
Vinny: It’s Halloween! What video game related character/thing are you dressing up for this Halloween? And what non-video game related thing would you dress up as?
Mister Polite: Is there a game that would be a favorite game if it came out at a different time in your life. For example, Minecraft is a game that I know is something I would have loved back when I was playing games in Elementary School or early Middle School, but since it came out in my 30’s it just isn’t a game I want to play.
Jacob (IconArising): What is your favorite Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon original show? What was the worst?
Princess_Megan: What are your favorite Fall traditions?
JoeColeslaw: Worst trope in horror? Films, games, tv specials?
Mansocks: In a cute fight between Gus and Dart who would win?
