Your previous avatar also was from a Studio Ghibli/Hayao Miyazaki movie, Laputa - Castle in the Sky. I love Ghibli movies and recommend everyone not knowing them watching them. My personal favourites are Nausicaä (although technically not Studio Ghibli) and Whisper of the Heart. But most of their output was outstanding.
| GoOnKid said: So there is this game called Mystic Quest Legend in PAL regions, also known as Final Fantasy Mystic Quest in the US, that was developed and released by Squaresoft for the SNES in 1992 and 1993. It is basically a light-hearted version of Final Fantasy, much more streamlined and simplistic, with a very low difficulty and an easy to follow storyline. I played and loved it when I was a kid. There is one scene in the game where you save a huge rotting magic tree from a demon infestation and once you managed to do that, the tree starts to walk and takes you to a new location on the world map. So while you ride the giant tree, some other trees in the background are placed in such a manner that they form the words "Go on, kid!". I loved that because not only was it a fairly heroic and releaving moment already, this little message was another form of motivation to keep you going on with all that world saving stuff. When I registered here on VGC I had a hard time thinking about my user name but I remembered that I had written a walkthrough about this game not too long ago and decided to use this little message as my user name because I like it so much. And my profile pic is the artwork of the main character in this game. |
That is a nice story and shows that gaming can have much more meaning to us as gamers, than just entertainment.
My signature is just a random collection of links and information I wanna keep. For avatar - after I signed up with VGC I used my Mii for many years. Then I made a thread about Awesome Miiverse art, with people linking all the great art people created on the WiiU-gamepad and posted on Miiverse. The thread is not of much use anymore, because boneheaded Nintendo shut Miiverse down and all the stuff is mostly lost or hard to find. You have to use archive.org to get to it.
Anyways, with recommendations of other posters I came across this incredible painting:
This is so cool art and it shows Kayamba and Cha-Cha from Monster Hunter Tri, a game I like, so I decided to use that as my avatar.
