I actually made one. It's a beat em up, but I haven't release it yet.

I lived in Japan for a little while, and one day I walked all around Shinjuku for 10 hours just taking in all the sites. I found a really cool hidden cemetary and an abandoned playground.
If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would you eat?
Come on. Pizza is the only answer.
Is there a hobby you'd like to start doing such as playing an instrument? Or maybe something outdoors like skiing?
I actually have a lot of hobbies like playing music, and what not, but I'd love to be better at skateboarding.
Pokemon's 20th anniversary is coming up. What was your first Pokemon game, and share your best/worst moments playing it?
Well my first game was Yellow version I think. It's hard to remember, but the first game I put real time into was fire red, and the XY. Best memory was finding my first shiny, which was a ditto.

I would make 'Pokemon Strike : Pallet Town Offensive'. Be just like CSGO but better cos it includes pokemon

A 4 day fishing trip, lived on a boat wit 3 other guys. Lots of beer, laughs and fish. Caught a baby shark which was a surprise

Lasagna

I really want to get into boxing and what not but school and laziness both contributes to me not learning

That's pretty amazing, I imagine a country so small and old must have a lot of hidden gems like that.

That's so difficult. I love coming up with interesting characters, drawing them and making a back story, but I'm not really good at writing a cohesive narrative for them. So I think it would play to my strong suit to make a 2D fighting game like blazblue, where the system and coolness of the individual characters is key to the success of the game over the story. But if I overcame my writing issues I think I'd want to do a turn based rpg. Maybe even a tactics game. I love coming up with classes and cool ways to distinguish the characters and their dynamic with each other. Once a friend and I came up with a very detailed monster training/tactics game about building golems. It never went anywhere though.

Two years ago a group of my friends set up a campsite on the side of a mountain during a rainstorm. We battled the weather for 3 days, keeping the fire lit, keeping everything set up in the wind. It was the manliest weekend of my life.

I don't know if I could live without a variety of food. Can sushi be an answer or does it have to be a certain kind?

As an adult I've found a lot more hobbies than I did when I was younger. I still draw at least once a day. I just started roasting my own coffee with some good results. I like to make things like that. Another example is my recent foray into the world of mustache wax(it's easier to make at home than you'd think) and I love to bake and have started to get into it more often. I'd love to learn music and have bought a ukulele that I enjoy attempting to play but... I'm just not that naturally talented at it.
Pokemon's 20th anniversary is coming up. What was your first Pokemon game, and share your best/worst moments playing it?
My truely worst pokemon moment was getting ahold of a super game boy, dusting off the old snes and then after popping pokemon red in and playing if for about 5 hours; realizing that the battery in the game was long dead and I wouldn't be finishing my childhood adventure. RIP 90's pokemon cartridges. This, by the way, was my first pokemon game. As for the best, I'd say the first time I ever beat it. When I was a kid, the elite four and Blue were so hard to beat and I had to work a lot harder than I had in any game before that. I was down to my last guy and almost didn't take his charizard, but the victory was sweet.

If I'd make a video game it'd be a beat em up based around all forms of martial arts. Of course we gonna throw in that nice plot and better than Nintendo online multiplayer.
My favourite adventure...? I'll get back to you on that one
I'd eat hawaiian topping pizza
I'd like to start Judo, Tae Kwon Do, Mui Thai and Karate.
My first Pokemon game was Emerald. Listing moments takes effort and to be honest, each run has different memories which get overshadowed by the following playthrough. Played Emerald over 50 times on record.
