Dennis First and until today dearest hero is Guybrush Threepwood

Dennis Michel: My first true video game hero is at the same time my favorite today. Jap, Guybrush, you are the best that had to be said. That I could close the good beginning of the 90s to the heart, "blame" was my dad. If he had stowed the floppy disks of The Secret of Monkey Island with the inviting, golden lettering again neatly on the shelf, Point's Click Adventures may not be mutated to one of my favorite genre.

Guybrush is contrary to many strong, often flawless hero * inside simply the involuntary, bustling normalo, with which I could only identify myself too well. In addition, he has a clear goal in mind for which he truly not created, but he persecuted full of passion, never giving up and ultimately masters. In the sense: "Hey my name is guybrush and I Want to be a pirate". We all want that, Guybrush, we all want.

Linda found in Emoboy Squall from Final Fantasy 8 her soulmate

Linda Sprenger: In the nineties / early two thousand, unfortunately there were not so many exciting female video game dogs as today, with whom I could have identified myself. My first character in which I realized so right was therefore a guy. Namely squall from Final Fantasy 8. Introvert, long hair strands on the face, a bit grumpy but in the heart adorable. I was like that in the past (and may still be today). Therefore, squall for me even long to my favorite final fantasy figures, I mean my hey: The guy is just cool or not? And I just wanted to be cool.

For Eleen, Tidus was the first character with which she could identify itself

Eleen Reinke: My first video gameheld, which I can really remember, probably have been Tidus from Final Fantasy X. Of course, that does not mean that FFX was my first game, but I had only had a Game Boy Color, and Pokémon games are really not known for their character depth. All the more I did the story of FFX at that time. My first real role play full of characters that were not only small sprites, but could show real emotions! Above all Tidus, the lightning ball player with the sunny mind and sometimes some naiver stupidity.

While the poor Tidus is almost too exhausting today with his endless energy, he was exactly the right character for me in my teen. Curious, gentle (which was unusual for male characters for me at that time) and simultaneously lost in a world he does not really understand. No wonder he has grown to my heart.

Tobi toured as a little boy mega on the Gameboy

Tobias Veltin: Ui My first video game hero ... This question is not so easy to answer because many figures impressed me in my memory. Mario about or Samus Aran, as with Nintendo consoles more growing up, it was mainly the Nintendo characters. But one left particularly sustainable impression.

Because when I got my Gameboy gave and directly allowed a mega man game out of the pack, it was about me. The little boy with his arm cannon fell through an exciting adventure and I was blown away. Today, I can not even say exactly why, I probably projected myself a bit-wide in Mega Man, lived through him his own imagination. A little boy consists of an action-loaded adventure. Today, mega is no longer one of my favorite hero * inside, but I still like to go back to the Gameboy time.

Annika and Töff-Töff together were animal saver together

Annika Bavendiek: Initially, characters like red from Pokémon Red / Blue or Donatello from Teenager Mutant Ninja Turtles came to mind. I mean, who does not want to be Pokémon coach or so cool fight and constantly eat pizza like the Turtles? But after getting a bit credited in my past, another character came to me, with which I had a lot together at the age of five years: Töff-Töff, or on Putt-Putt in English.

That sounds a bit funny, but Töff-Töff is a lively car, with the small children as I could immerse themselves back to the first PC Adventures. I am not purple and have no four tires, but I could identify myself immediately with Töff-Töff's friendly way, helpfulness and especially the animal loving. Not for nothing we helped the lions, penguins and other animals for hours to save the zoo. At that time this was the Nonplusultra for me.

[Gesta 2021] 2021 Korea Game Area 17

The University Football Playoff Championship Game is a post-season university football bowl game, used to figure out a nationwide champ of the NCAA Department I Football Dish Neighborhood (FBS), which began play in the 2014 college football season. The game functions as the last of the University Football Playoff, a bracket competition in between the top 4 groups in the nation as established by an option committee, which was developed as a follower to the Bowl Championship Series as well as its comparable BCS Championship game. The taking part groups in the University Football Playoff Championship game are figured out by two semifinal video games (in some cases called the Plus-One system ), held by an annual turning of bowls frequently recognized as the New Year s 6. Hence, the teams to contend in the final are not straight chosen by a choice committee, as had been the layout utilized for the BCS National Championship Game. The game is played at a neutral site, identified with propo...
