Rage quit a game

To the best of my memory, I can only recall doing this once. Earlier in the year I bought the Kingdom Hearts collection as it was in the sale, and the series has been heavily recommended to me by various friends … After playing through the torturous tutorial and then being beaten by the boss at the end of it (after seemingly making no impression on him at all) … I decided enough was enough and quit with a lot of annoyance and disappointment.

Earned all achievements in a game

I think there are quite a few that are missing an achievement here and there, but there is one title where I managed to snag every trophy – Dragon Age: Inquisition. This was before the DLC however, and I haven’t quite picked up all of those, just the odd one or two missing.

Pulled an all-nighter gaming

I have actually never done this. It’s not irregular for me to stay up quite late, I’ve got no problem with that – or even with getting up early … but for whatever reason, I have never stayed up the whole night gaming.

Livestreamed your gaming

Never, but I do watch quite a few livestreams. I have often thought that it looked like a lot of fun, but I’m not totally sure. What would I play? Would anyone watch? Is it complicated to set up? I think I’ll stick to being an audience member for now.

Pre-ordered a game

I don’t often pre-order, I usually prefer to wait patiently for a sale (not like I don’t have plenty of other games to sink my teeth into), but every now and again there’s a title which I don’t mind paying extra for, just so I can have it as soon as possible! The most recent example being Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Bought a game and never played it

Far too often. Disturbingly often. Problematically often.

Been jumpscared by a horror game

Oh yes. All the time! That’s just part of the fun when you’re playing horror games.

Had a set squad for a specific game

Not really … although I guess I do have a group of friends on Animal Crossing, we visit each other’s islands, buy gifts for each other, confer turnip prices … that sounds like squad activity … right?

Bought a game on multiple platforms

No. Of course not. That would be absurd and wasteful. Who would buy Skyrim on PS3, PS4, and PC?? Only a fool, that’s who! … Okay, okay, it was me! I’m the fool! On the plus side, all three purchases were cheap offers.
