2008
I remember playing this game on and off, but the feeling of joy when I did finally a solve a puzzle was amazing. And bonus points for the "Red Carpet" theme (yes, I listened to the soundtrack way before I bought the game).
2013
Played this way back in 2014 didn't get very far, put it down (I think I sold me copy on Xbox 360) and didn't play it again until 2021 (got a digital copy this time via PSN). I do remember making a character and getting to a point where you are fighting enemies in your birthday suit and got stuck at the escape section (bane of my existence) and not touched it since.
I remember being really invested this game back in 2013, and made a few save files in hopes of beating this game. As you can see, and from what I can remember is I only reached the Ice Ruins and peaced out, not sure what I did with those save files either.
2003
More of a first impressions, since I never played this game when it came out.
Quickly becoming a master of one, I've spent a reasonable amount of time getting very familiar with the Assembly Lane racetrack. And N. Gin has become my new main sorry Coco...

Will always remember Eel Deal, Bear It and Road to Ruin. Mostly Bear It, because it was probably the level I spent most of my time playing. I never was one of the people who would finish these games, I was more a player who would pop my head in play for a few hours and disappear again.
1999
I poured many hours into this game as a kid, I wasn't exactly the best at racing games. Best feeling was unlocking other characters was from other Crash Bandicoot games was a great highlight. If I remember rightly I was either a Coco or Polar main.
And this is one of few games where, my brother and I would go head to head. I blame this game for my competitive streak.

I remember my step-brother lent me this game, I never progressed past the first level because I was utterly clueless.
2004
I tend to gravitate towards the games that are the black sheep in their franchises (like my favourite game Drakengard 2 for example). And yet my gateway game to the Suikoden games was Suikoden V, which led me to look into the other games in the series.
I have replayed this game many times, admittingly on my first playthrough 16 years ago, I may have dun goofed because I was angry at Snowe, yeah I started over after I realised maybe that wasn't my best choice...
Yeah, I did eventually get all 108 stars of destiny, unlike in Suikoden V where I didn't and I don't talk about that ending, but this game gets overlooked and the naval battles are fun, and when you get the chance go head to head with Elenor with more battles (though slightly harder if you're a masochist like me). And what I can say about the mini game Ritapon! which in my case really encourages my competitive streak (not for the better).
Now tangents aside, the story is about forgiveness and redemption. And yes we play as the nameless hero, who graduates and becomes a Knight of Gaien, and due to Snowe being jealous because of narrative reasons, we get exiled as a result, but later on we meet Lino en Kuldes and learn more about the unfortunate rune we possess (which I forgot to mention). Anyway my point is don't dun goof and kill Snowe and if you want the good ending, keep him alive and spare him.

Now that I think about it back in 2015, I stupidly attempted this I was under-levelled and got myself stuck as a result. Never went near this DLC again after that.
Only highlight I have from this season, was I took a bounty from Spider and a certain Exotic weapon dropped and I got it, and one person in my fireteam was angry that I got it first time and they'd been grinding for it.
So last year I heard about Street Fighter 6 (the Rules and Regulations Extreme theme was the reason I wanted to buy that game) and this was used as a means to find a possible main, only one I meshed with was Sakura and it was still a learning curve compared to Tekken but having a few teething problems as getting used to Street Fighter's control scheme has taken some getting used to.
2008
Vaguely remember an ex-friend introduced me to this game, and it led me down a rabbit hole of buying the second and third game (yeah I didn't get any sleep once I started playing Tale of Souls) anyway it lead me to be a very dickish Kilik main.
2017
So back in 2017 I was in the D2 loop but soon found myself losing interest after a couple of seasons, and when I pocked my head in briefly back in 2022, I just didn't like being thrown straight into a location to do a mission I was clearly not prepared for and me dying as a result. I'd rather go back to tower grind a little instead, I don't care I don't want to be thrust into a mission against my will thank you very much.
The way things have gone since my last visit, I think I can't be invested as I was back in 2017-2020.
And them sunsetting weapons, planets and raids just soured things for me.

2018
This DLC bought some comedic deaths on my end, namely death by Cabal Pod and death by Xol falling on top of my poor Guardian.
Also the search for the Memory Fragments was well worth it, despite the wild goose chase of back tracking and making sure you shot them all.

2015
Ah, Tekken 7 have a fun history with this game, from buying it to selling it and owning it digitally and rebuying a physical copy again. Anyway, when I was playing Heihatchi's campaign and I reached Claudio and well. Curse that man. For both looking like a hunk and his annoying fighting style (fun to play as him, not so much when I'm on receiving end of it) I swear hot men in fighting games will always result in me losing.
And I still have not moved from that location.
