I play games for myself, not anyone else. :wink: This game is a little on the easy side but I play this game for the pure enjoyment and brilliant gameplay and just might go play it right now :lol:

For Myself
1. Male 26
2. I am a gamer, and a Mario Fan
3. It was shown at the E3 before the launch of the Wii, and billed as the next step in the progression that started with Mario 64 and Mario Sunshine. I liked those, and looked forward to this. Then I played the Demo at Gamestop and was hooked.
4. I play some video game at least Daily, and generally for no less than 2 hours each day. Often on my days off, I'll play for upwards of 8 hours.
5. So far, yes it has.
6. To them I say, "When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of being thought childish, and the over strong desire to be grown up."
This, being a literary quote, will fly quite over there heads, sadly.

[Syntax]

Just a quick question/thought. Wouldn't it be better to interview and or question people you come across in a mall instead of doing it over a forum. That way, you can at least back up your findings with actual names of people who you have interviewed and or questioned, instead of questioning people on a forum. Also, I'm pretty sure that your teacher is going to require you to cite your work. Therefore, citing a member from a forum isn't the best method and may be frowned upon by your teacher. Although, I may be wrong..

[Link_of_Hyrule]

I am afraid the mod is correct I know many people who are teachers and would not allow a forum as a source for a paper and would even go as far as saying its lazy as suggested it would be better to go survey people at the mall or some place like that you may need to get permission from the store owners i think your best bet would be to do it in front of a game stop or something like that
