What are your thoughts on The Legend of Zelda series?
Honestly, I don't have much thoughts to give on them as one of my many gaming sins is... I've never played a Zelda game. Actually, that's not true. The first videogame I ever had for the GameCube was Star Fox Adventures, which aside from occasionally flying a Spaceship, was mostly a Zelda game in its structure, level-design, game mechanics, and general design.
I've also played Genshin Impact aka Breath of the Weebs. I imagine Zelda is to games what Alien was to movies. Even if you've never played Zelda, you've played Zelda. Though considering the enjoyment I've gotten from games like Star Fox Adventures, I should probably experience Zelda itself.
Seems like a game I'd enjoy.

Favourite game sounds?
Halo 2's Battle Rifle. Halo 4's Shotgun. Firing Portals in Portal. Quake 1's power pickup. Metal Gear Soild's item pickup. Metal Gear Solid 3's Codec. Resident Evil 4's splatter sounds. F1's V10 engines.
Okay, that last one's cheating, but if there's something I've learned from playing Quake's Remaster is that unique sound-design is best, even if it sounds worse technically, because everything's more immersive and meaningful when even the item pick-up sounds are immediately attributable to what you're experiencing.
Halo's shields, Metal Gear's Codec, Quake's powerups, Gran Turismo's menu music, you hear these things and instantly, you're put into that world.
Very few things have that power, but sound does.

Ever have the feeling of wanting to play a game that caters to your specific tastes, but that game doesn't exist and you're stuck in a weird limbo where you don't feel like playing any other game?

Have you listened to either of these? (if not, I recommend you do so ASAP, they are bomb)
