*BaB enters the room*
BaB: Ladies and gentlemen this may be the most bizarre interview done in the series right now. I just entered a room where the only light comes from candles. It reeks of blood and dead people. And the interviewee is no where to be found.
*A creeking sound is heard behind BaB as Vamp emerges from his coffin*
Vamp: Welcome to ma home!
BaB: Creepy.....
Vamp: What did you say?
BaB: I said let's start that interview so I can get the hell out of here.
*BaB looks around*
BaB: There seems to be no chairs around.
*Vamp points towards a spare coffin*
Vamp: Don't you worry you can rest your self in there.
BaB: You know what, I think I will stand. So Mr. Weirdo tell us your first experience with video games.
Vamp: I remember my first victim like it was yesterday as I drained the blood slow.... ooo console first experience.
BaB: General idea with a video game interview...
Vamp:An Atari 2600, which belonged to my parents before me. I had a game called Combat, which was basically a multiplayer game where the combatants played as blocks of color or pixels and shot at each other with other pixels. Also had Pacman. There was some hidden charm to eating your oppenents as ghosts.
BaB: I would imagine.
Vamp: Back in the those days, I remember how glorious and exciting it was when you beat a level, and the color of the pinball table or the pacman maze changed. Just like the color changes when I suck the life out of my victims.
BaB: Really weird guy. So tell me what was your first game/console?
Vamp:The first console that was truly mine was an NES. I took it from the lifeless hands of my neighbor. He didn't want to share so I showed him my fangs.
BaB: Isn't that murder.
Vamp: *Cough* And Super Mario Bros., and this wrestling game called Pro Wrestling. It had such terrible translation mistakes.
BaB: Thank yo...
Vamp: And while I am on the NES, I would like to point out how evil and wrong Castlevania was. To hunt my people like that was unfounded!
BaB: Well you see...
Vamp: Don't justify the murder of my lord Dracula!
BaB: Getting off that subject then. If you disliked Castlevania, what were some of your favorite games growing up.
Vamp:Pacman for Atari 2600. Legend of Zelda, Kirby, and Super Mario Bros 3 for the NES. Pokemon Red for the GB. Even I have to catch em all.
BaB: I would imagine you live in these fine coffins. Do they get much power for your console?
Vamp: Like you wouldn't believe.
BaB: Then what consoles have you owned.
Vamp: Atari 2600, NES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP, Nintendo 64, Playstation 2, Xbox 360, Gamecube, Nintendo DS, PSP, and one good PC.
BaB: Quite the resume for someone who spends most of his free time sucking on the life force of the innocent.
Vamp: What can I say. there isn't a whole lot I can do during the day.
BaB: I see. So what was your favorite games in between blood sucking?
Vamp:Favorite game would have to be Ocarina of Time. Can't help it, it's just the greatest game ever made. Pokemon Silver and Metal Gear Solid 3 are close runners up.
BaB: Favorite console to pimp out your coffin?
Vamp: Favorite console would probably be the Nintendo 64. It was the first time I was old enough to really understand and appreciate games, but still young enough to have no other responsibilities but to play them. And I got killer deals from the neighbor kids. They would drop dead to give me their games.
BaB: Again isn't that murder.
*Vamp shows fangs*
BaB: That doesn't scare me... much... so opposed to your dislike of the Castlevania franchise. Which is your current favorite?
Vamp: Favorite franchise would either be the Zelda games, or the Pokemon games.
BaB: Like your bloodlust, has your taste in gaming evolved?
Vamp:Not very much, actually. My favorite games are still the action/adventure/platforming ones, with the occasional RPG and fighting game.
BaB: Any blood sucking sims?
Vamp: Oddly there isn't a huge market for it.
BaB: I see...
Vamp: I just remembered when my blood lust changed was the same time I started playing text based MMORPGs. The first one I ever played was at the encouragement of my girlfriend (Moira on here), and was at
www.lusternia.com. Since then I've also played Achaea, Aetolia, and Imperian, and I'm currently awaiting the release of Tears of Polaris. They're all text based MMORPGs made by
www.ironrealms.com, and they're all amazing. Role playing is enforced, so you really get to become your character, and all organizations are player ran. The admins, or "Gods" of the game occasionally do events, but the outcomes of those are determined by the players too.
BaB: I didn't know Vampires could shill like a good human.
Vamp: We try.
BaB: We mentioned briefly blood sucking games. Would that be your ideal game?
Vamp: Well it may be fun and offset the nasty stereotype left by those blasted Castlevanias it would not be my ideal game.
BaB: Then what would be?
VamP:I always wanted an MMORPG based on the old Gargoyles Disney series, where you could design your Gargoyle to the last detail, and join clans. There would be a time travel element to it so you could experience the Medieval aspects of the show and the futuristic aspects of it.
BaB: Good show and of course you would find charm in a show about creatures coming to life only at night. Kind of poetic....
*Bats start to swarm around BaB*
BaB: Generally, I am a bat person but I think it is time we wrap this up. What do you think is more important graphics or gameplay? And does the blood effect in games offend you?
Vamp:Gameplay. Although graphics are very important. They don't need to be realistic, though. Sometimes realism is a bad thing. Unless it really suites the game's style (like MGS), realistic graphics are usually not my thing, I want to still feel like I'm playing a video game. I don't want reality, I want to be somewhere else. That place does need to be beautiful, though, except in its own style. Like I said before, I really enjoy text based games. they don't have graphics per se, but they're still beautiful.
BaB: And the second part?
Vamp: I don't think any game has gotten the splash of blood correct yet. And I don't think any has embraced just how sweet a necter that red paradise can be. As a matter of fact, I am feeling thirsty right about now...
*BaB is out the door*
BaB: Come back next time as we speak to El Consquiterdor Ragedhybrid.
