GameTavern - GT All Star Series: Magus

*Magus enters BaB's room*
*Loud music is blarring. Balloons are all over the room. Dancing girls*

BaB: Come on in! Come on in!
Magus: What's going on here?
BaB: Sorry, I had to delay the interview, but we have been partying my first round win in Smash Bros for almost two weeks now. The party just won't stop.
Magus: You realize that you beat me?
BaB: So... you... won't join us?
Magus: I have no choice. *Sits down*

BaB: Thirsty? Want anything to drink?
Magus: Sure, I guess.
BaB snaps his finger. Bluefire shows up.
BaB: Our friend he would like something to drink. I guess a Corona, its the only thing you folks drink.
Bluefire: I hate you!
BaB:But you don't hate the nickel an hour I am paying so go get the juice!

BaB: So while he gets the drink. What are some of your earliest gaming memories? I know some of your most recent is seeing the ground beneath my feet.
Magus: The earliest I can remember was getting my Super Nintendo on Christmas and playing Super Mario World on the small TV in my bedroom that I shared with my brother.
BaB: And maybe like 5 cousins? Some aunts and uncles? Grandparents?
Magus: Aren't the Mexican jokes wearing thin?
BaB: Maybe by the end of this interview.

BaB: So while sharing rooms with half of the East Coast did you ever get a console? What was your first? First game?
Magus: SNES and Super Mario World.
BaB: What did you folks call that in Mexico anyhow?
Magus: Super Mario World....

*Bluefire finally returns with drinks*
BaB: Go ahead you can tip him!
*Magus pulls out a dollar*
BaB: Let's not go crazy here. We don't want the help quitting. *BaB puts a penny on the tray.* Carry on
Magus: That's kind of mean!
BaB: Not yet...

BaB: What were some of your favorite games growing up?
Magus:Zelda games that I owned (I was missing LttP), Goldeneye, Super Mario All-Stars, Super Mario 64, Pokemon
BaB: Really? That much Nintendoing and you still lost at Smash. Most interesting.
Magus: Listen it was a fluke...
BaB: What! I can't hear you the music is too loud!
Magus: I said it was...
BaB: WHAT?!
Magus: Nevermind.
BaB: Smart man.

BaB: So other than a Wii which I used to kick your ass in Smash Bros. In one of the most epically one sided battles of our generations, what consoles have you owned?
Magus: One it wasn't one-sided...
BaB: Let's not argue semantics, just answer the question.
Magus: Fine! SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii, Genesis, Dreamcast, Game Gear, Game Boy (brick), GB Pocket, GB Color, GB Advance, GB Advance SP, DS, DS Lite, PSP, PS1, PS2, PS3

BaB: I see. Interesting. Now I know Smash Bros isn't your favorite game. From all the bloody beatdowns I've given you. So what is your favorite game?
Magus: Ocarina of Time without a shadow of a doubt.
BaB: I did beat you with Link if I remember correctly. The battle was so one-sided and short I can hardly remember it.
Magus:GRRR.

BaB: What about favorite consoles?
Magus: Three way tie between N64, GB Advance, PS2
BaB: I guess you can't just pick one. But as long as it was the one without Brawl.

BaB: And favorite franchise?
Magus: Zelda, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Metal Gear
Voice from the background: Magus still pees himself when he plays Resident Evil!
Magus: What the hell? Who said that?
BaB: I told you it could get worse! Surprise guest, Magus' little brother is here to share some secrets with us.
Magus: Get out of here!
BaB: He is an honored guest of The Bone so he will stay.

BaB: Has your taste in gaming changed?
Magus: Um, basic platformers in my SNES days, and I've been kinda well rounded with my tastes, with a surge in RPGs from 7th grade to about sophomore year of high school.
Magus' Brother: Don't forget the phase when you were playing dress up. Oh wait he only meant video games...
Magus: LIES!
BaB: Don't look at me.

BaB: What would be your most ideal game?
Magus: A nice action-RPG with a stellar plot, revolutionary gameplay, and nice online play, but not MMO-style if possible. Stuff is like crack.
Magus' Brother: Actually, I think it would be a combination of Cooking Mama and America's Next Top Model. Magus the stay at home supermodel dad. It has a ring to it. And you already started dressing in mom's clothes... oops did I say it again?
Magus: Can we get him out of here?
BaB: Sure sure. He has given us some juicy tidbits anyhow. SECURITY!
*Security walks over*
Magus: Raged?
BaB: Yeah, who knew that it was a package deal. Pretty cheap too. Saves me a fortune.
*Magus' brother is escorted out*

BaB: Final question because the beer is getting warm and the girls are slowing down. This party needs to go on until round 2 is over. Of course you wouldn't know about round 2....
Magus: I will kill you in your sleep!
BaB: You can give it a try. So what is more important gameplay or graphics?
Magus: Gameplay. Graphics have always been a plus for good games. Hell I play Alone in the Dark and System Shock on occasion.
BaB: That's all we have time for today. SECURITY! Escort him off the property.

*BaB rejoins the party*
