Meet the Reader: Shakugan

With such a big catalogue of games, I can’t believe that every single one of them was really good. What’s the most embarrassing game you’ve played? Maybe you did actually enjoy it, as a bit of a guilty pleasure?

Well currently my guilty pleasure game is Kane and Lynch 2. I enjoyed it a little bit, then after I finished the co-op campaign with my brother we got bored and decided to give it free to my friend. I never bothered to platinum it, though.

That one might hold the crown this week, I only know one really embarrassing game that I will play next week, when it comes to my house called Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2.

Ahem… it features lolicons, upskirt, embarrassing moments and some ecchi scenes. Maybe the most embarrassing game that I will play… You should check on youtube for clips…

It certainly sounds pretty risqué… Does your brother play games much? Is there a bit of a rivalry between you in certain games?

My brother plays sometimes on PS3 with me and we sometimes fight. Today we kinda fought over who will killed a Nosey Boar monster in Tales of Graces f; I kind of stole his kill. He’s mostly on PC playing a game called League of Legends, he’s really addicted to it. Sometimes we play together in Perfect World, LoL and Blackshot.

So it’s more co-op games with you, rather than head to head?

Actually fifty-fifty. He mostly plays “Caw of Booty” (I’m kidding) online with some of his friends, including our sister and me.

A sister too? Does she play many games? Are there any more brothers and sisters in your family?

She plays those pick up ‘n play type games, but mostly she’s on PC watching “Korean drama” movies or whatever they are called with her boyfriend. So she’s not available, guys! There’s a total of five of us, but only three of us play games.

I’m hungry…

Do you want to take a break for a bit?

LOL, are you joking? No! I won’t die from starvation.

Well, with so many family members, maybe all the food is gone?

They are eating without me right now, leaving me behind! I can smell good orange chicken from here…

Well, I don’t want you missing out on the oragen chicken, so I guess we’d better pick up the pace a bit, and move on to talking about TSA! How did you first come across TSA?

I came across first when I was researching some trophy guides and I found TSA with interesting articles. If I remember right, TSA included a points for cash exchange to buy games. It’s gone now, but that doesn’t stop me from visiting TSA.

Yeah, I think there was a thing like that for a little while. So you were hooked in by the potential for money?

No no no, I’m not that greedy I just happened to like that feature. Wait, are you calling me greedy?

Ha! Yes, completely. (Kidding)

You bastard!

Haha! Do you have any favourite articles on TSA?

My current favourites articles that link to games, some cool stuffs with some interesting game announcements, new patches, Meet the Reader and WeView.

Just a bit of everything, then, really!

Yup!

Wait a minute. How can you interview me, but I can’t interview you? Can I ask you something?

You just did…

Oh.. never mind, carry on.

Haha, no go on.

When can I go to eat orange chicken?

I think we’re almost done. You can go eat now, and we’ll talk again when you’re done, if you like. I did offer that break earlier…

I don’t want it, as I said, I don’t easily die from starvation. I have trained just for this interview. Ugh…

OK, OK. So you’ve been around for a year and a day on TSA. Have there been many people you’ve had fun chatting to in the forums?

Well, I don’t spent so much time chatting with others on TSA, but they usually respond to my messages when I comment on something. I mostly chat with my friends and asking their opinions about games they are playing now.

I had fun with Sanmartinez, DeathbrinPSN etc. etc. when we were arranging Bioshock 2 meets. Thank you guys for the Bioshock 2 meets!

Yes, I think I remember you were a regular with Bioshock 2. Is there something you often take part in these days?

Well, I don’t really join TSA meets that often anymore. I decided to buy single player games to support some devs and I’d got bored with multi player that include shooting too much with similar content all the time.

Yeah, that’s fair enough. I’ve gone off FPS multiplayer a bit. Hopefully there’ll be some games in the future that you like the look of, and get joined in!

OK, it’s almost orange chicken time. Do you listen to the podcast? Can I ask you the Snog, Civil Partnership, Smother, Shark Attack question?

I listened once and I don’t remember when I did it, so I don’t really know anything about it… sorry that I’m disappointing you dood.

Ah, it’s alright. Some people just aren’t really into podcasts so much. In that case, we’re done! Do you have any final words for the readers that made it to the end?

You guys who are reading this, should all visit my homeland. It’s a great place, though I haven’t been there. That’s really weird when I recommend you guys visit my homeland when I’ve actually never been there…

Bye doods!

Thanks, Shakugan, for doing this interview. See you next week for another crazy character from TSA!
