Whats Your Story Kenny McCormick

Just when it seemed the well had run dry on Whats Your Story entries, Kenny McCormick has come through with the goods. Given his favourite game listed below, I think I know what the 20 CAPs he has earned might go towards! Speaking of CAPs, there is not much more opportunity to adjust the playlist for 1990. The list will be set in stone the moment I post the introduction for The Colonels Bequest, since that will be the last game for 1989.

My home country is… Singapore. A small island nation in the South-East Asia. Most of you might think it to be a rather exotic place. In some perverse ways, I guess it is!

My age is… 35+. Around the same age as the Trickster.

The first adventure game I played was… I cant recall exactly... It could be "Ulysses and the Golden Fleece", I think.


When I’m not playing games I like to… Play with myself. Okay, seriously, Id probably go out for a walk or chat with friends and maybe catch a movie if something particularly good is screening.

I like my games in (a box, digital format)… Digital. Its a godsend. Im no collector and not one to hang onto material stuff. That said, Im always misplacing stuff... so Id rather have someone (Steam, Desura and GoG!) to keep them for me.

My favourite adventure game is… "Circuits Edge". But it also has some RPG elements. But then again, I love QFQ as well. Guess I love CRPGs too much to not have them bastardizing my other games.


The thing I miss about old games is… I think creativity would be the most common answer here. But what I think is actually connection. Those games connect with me in ways that new games fail to do so. I mean, there must be a reason why I would dig out an old copy of a game on whim during a certain weekend and play the shit out of it while that shiny new jewel-cased FPS-RPG-RTS-WTF game languished beside my keyboard.

The best thing about modern games is… Big. The gameworlds are huge! And detailed too. Basically transitioning from what the hell is that?! to the where the hell is it?! phase.

The one TV show I never miss is… A Taiwanese veriety programme about spooks and UFO conspiracies. Doubt any of you will have seen it. But I love Misfits! The remake is certainly funnier than its predecessor!


If I could see any band live it would be… Aerosmith! But Id also check out Korean girl groups... Damn, Girls Generation look good... *ahem*

My favourite movie is… Monty Python and The Holy Grail. Nuff said!


One interesting thing about me is… That my feet are so flat that my footprint looks like an imprint from a cue-ball, 4 marbles and a bowling pin.
