Hello there! So I saw someone do this questionnaire on YouTube and I thought it would be fun to post it on here! Sooooooo... Knock yourselves out ;D 1. What was the first game you played and how old were you? I don't really remember because I started by watching my older sister play the games (I'm pretty sure it may have been Stay Tuned for Danger but I could be wrong...) although the first game I played myself was Resorting to Danger, a Nancy Drew Dossier in 2011 but Trail of the Twister was the first Adventure game I played all by myself (with help of walkthroughs...)2. Did you read the books before or after you discovered the games? I think it was before since I have read The Clue Crew and The Notebooks series when I was younger, before I got into the games3. Are you excited for Midnight In Salem? Any ideas? I am so super excited! I am a little nervous about the new Nancy Drew voice but hopefully I think it would be awesome! I do think it will be the scariest game in my opinion but I think the teaser was a little creeper than SAW teaser...4. Favorite game location? Hmm... I want to say...for the US is New York and for outside US, it will probably be...Paris, France.5. Where would you like to see a game take place? I'm not sure...probably Nashville, Tennessee...or Australia...or Mexico.6. Anything you want to dramatically rant about? No not really 7. All time favorite game? For now, it is Sea of Darkness!8. A moment that really scared you? First couple of times I played SAW was the end (don't want to spoil for those who haven't played) but then, it stopped being creepy... I think Ethel popping out of nowhere in CUR would probably be the scariest moments for me...9. Traditions while playing the games? Not really. I just have snacks while playing.10. Most frustrating puzzle? Um....Time puzzles are usually stress me out a little, I'm not sure the toughest puzzle I have ever done...maybe the ones in SAW with the nongrams puzzle at the end?11. A time you felt like Nancy Drew in real life? I once gone through a woods that reminded me of Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake! Um...Whenever I write a mystery, I think about what would Nancy Drew do 12. Which one of the characters would you date? Why? I have had crushes on guys like Alec in SPY, Dave in SHA, Dylan in TMB, but I don't really have any character I would want to date for some reason... 13. Which one of the characters would you slap? I don't really have anyone I want to slap at. I have been annoyed but not so much...14. What do you think about Sonny Joon? I think he's awesome! I say he should return =D Okay maybe I would want to date him...15. Why do you play Nancy Drew games? Because they make me think and I love the graphics and the characters are just amazing! I think the voice acting are the best!16. Do you own any ND merchandise? I have The Deadly Device tote bag someone got me for Christmas.17. Favorite commonly hated (unpopular) ND game? Creature of Kapu Cave18. Favorite commonly hated (unpopular) ND character? I'm not sure if I have any...19. Any other unpopular opinions? There may be some things like the hints in the journal tab I don't like. I really miss having to call Ned, Hardy Boys and Bess and George for help.20. Have you ever drawn any fan art? Yes I have!21. Favorite game soundtrack? I really love "Word I couldn't Keep" from SEA but if singing doesn't count, I think the ending music from TRN and ICE are awesome!22. Least favorite game? CRE.23. Which game would make a good movie? White Wolf of Icicle Creek and Frozen together might be interesting...But I would watch...Stay Tuned for Danger or Sea of Darkness or Treasure in a Royal Tower.24. Game with the best ending? (No spoilers please ) Hmm...I say Sea of Darkness. I don't know why I just like it better than the other games...25. Favorite character? Bess Marvin. But if Nancy's friends don't count, than I would say Sonny Joon =D26. Favorite phone friend? My favorite phone character for now may be Alex in SEA27. Favorite box art? For now, it may be Silent Spy but it may change.28. Frank or Joe? I say Joe because he's the youngest like me and he's funny!29. Do you own all the games? Yes I do. Although I only have ICE Wii but hopefully I can get the PC version soon!30. Final thoughts? Awesome questionnaire! |

ND Challenge
Hello there! So I saw someone do this questionnaire on YouTube and I thought it would be fun to post it on here! Sooooooo... Knock yourselves out ;D 1. What was the first game you played and how old were you? My first Nancy Drew game was Alibi in Ashes, which I received as a present for my 10th birthday. I played it just a few days after I got it 
2. Did you read the books before or after you discovered the games? Before. The reason I got ASH was because I'd been completely obsessed with the books for about 2 years prior... needless to say, I freaked out when I found there were Nancy Drew computer games XD
3. Are you excited for Midnight In Salem? Any ideas? YAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSS!!! I don't really have any ideas, since the teaser was so vague (as always lol), but I'm very excited to play it!
4. Favorite game location? All of them? Lol jk... though I do love them all. If I had to pick one location, it would probably be Castle Finster in CAP. Though I also really love Waverly Academy and the underground sets in LIE 
5. Where would you like to see a game take place? I'd really like to see another game in France... besides being obsessed with anything French, I think DAN kinda lacked as being a really good Parisian-set game. A game set in Provence/French countryside would be really cool
6. Anything you want to dramatically rant about? Oh dear... where do I start... I apologize for this ahead of time.... *clears throat* WHY DID LANI HAVE TO LEAVE AND WHY ARE THEY CHANGING EVERYTHING WHY DID THEY GET A NEW CEO BECAUSE NO OFFENSE BUT I'M PRETTY SURE SHE'S THE ONE BEHIND LANI LEAVING AND WHY DOES THE ENTIRE FANDOM KEEP ARGUING ABOUT DAGNY AND ALL THAT AND WHY WHY WHY ok yeah I'm done now sorry XD
7. All time favorite game? The Phantom of Venice Although The Captive Curse comes in as really close second 
8. A moment that really scared you? When Nancy walks up the stairs for the first time in MHM and then you hear that really creepy voice whisper "I see you" and then the portrait blinked... so scary lol
9. Traditions while playing the games? I don't really have any...
10. Most frustrating puzzle? Idk if it counts, but Fox and Geese caused me to stop playing ICE for like a month... then I finally finished it lol
11. A time you felt like Nancy Drew in real life? When I was on a scavenger hunt with my friends
12. Which one of the characters would you date? Why? Heh...hehe...hehehehehe.... Joe Hardy XD I love funny guys... plus Joe is adorable XD
13. Which one of the characters would you slap? Brenda Carlton. She's so conceited and a complete jerk... people like that deserve a slap.
14. What do you think about Sonny Joon? AHHH ALIENS AHHH SPIED AHHHHH DOODLES AHHHHHHHHHHHHH KOKO KRINGLES!!!!!!!!!! (aka I <3 Sonny Joon lol)
15. Why do you play Nancy Drew games? They're an escape from my problems in real life, and I can feel like I saved the day. Plus they're fun.
16. Do you own any ND merchandise? I own a T-shirt that says 'Keep Calm and Sleuth On', a magic mug with the CAP cover art on it, and a bookmark with Charlotte Thornton's concept art (also idk if this counts but I have a necklace I made that looks like the one from CAP)
17. Favorite commonly hated (unpopular) ND game? What are the unpopular ones? I'm guessing they are SCK1 and SCK2, CAR, CLK, DAN, CRE, RAN, TOT, TMB, and MED... those are the ones that I think are probably the most unpopular... and out of those, either TMB or CAR
18. Favorite commonly hated (unpopular) ND character? Hmm... I think Moira from SPY is pretty underrated... she deserves much more credit than she has! Yeah, she lied to Kate, but seeing their friendship and all the backstory and stuff was really interesting... she was a really great character, IMHO.
19. Any other unpopular opinions? *whispers* I don't like Henry Bolet *distant screaming* *gets attacked by all the Henry fangirls* SORRY! SORRY! xD
20. Have you ever drawn any fan art? Yup! You can see it in this AS blog post
21. Favorite game soundtrack? The Captive Curse... it had so many awesome songs!! Although it's closely followed by LIE's soundtrack, there were some great tracks on that one too... plus I just love Greek music XD
22. Least favorite game? Ransom of the Seven Ships. It was hard and boring.
23. Which game would make a good movie? Ghost of Thornton Hall or Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon
24. Game with the best ending? (No spoilers please ) Stay Tuned for Danger. The end is SO suspenseful!
25. Favorite character? Just one?! NOOOOO!!!! Eh... if I had to pick ONE, it would be Charlotte Thornton. Her backstory was so tragic and beautiful and augh imma stop now.
26. Favorite phone friend? Frank and Joe Hardy
27. Favorite box art? Either The Captive Curse or Ghost of Thornton Hall
28. Frank or Joe? JOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! *squeals*
29. Do you own all the games? All but SCK1 and TRT
30. Final thoughts? I love the games and I hope HeR will continue making them forever!
Great thread, Eloise!! Thanks for the questionnaire! |

That moment when you really wish Proboards had a rep button, baha. Cool questionnaire, Eloise! ND Challenge
Hello there! So I saw someone do this questionnaire on YouTube and I thought it would be fun to post it on here! Sooooooo... Knock yourselves out ;D 1. What was the first game you played and how old were you? First game was FIN, and I can't remember how old I was. XD At least 8... maybe older. 2. Did you read the books before or after you discovered the games? Books first! My mom found her old ones in the garage one night, and after reading them I was hooked! I started asking for Nancy Drew books every birthday and Christmas, and when my aunt and uncle found FIN, they thought I would like it. Again with the hooking. X)3. Are you excited for Midnight In Salem? Any ideas? Heh, well, I haven't been excited for a game in a long time, to be honest. (Well, okay, I had some moments with SEA. Especially after hearing "The Word I Couldn't Keep".) It might be exciting. But at the moment I don't really feel anything toward it, baha. 4. Favorite game location? Some of these questions are just evil. X) I LOVED being in the woods in DOG, especially went I get to listen to the FROGGIES!!! Hehehe. MED had some beautiful scenery. But I feel like a traitor when I compliment MED, baha...5. Where would you like to see a game take place? Alaska! Mexico! The Alps! China! INDIANA!!! (Haha maybe not that last one so much...)6. Anything you want to dramatically rant about? So many things... BAHAHAHAHA now I want to rant about how there are so many things for me to rant about. I would be here until next week if I started discussing the ND things I want to rant about. X)7. All time favorite game? DOG! Hands-down. No contest. No hesitation. DOG!!!!8. A moment that really scared you? Hahahahaha... when I started? Like the whole game. Every game. X) When I first played MHM, I was staying at a friend's house. Neither of us could sleep that night because we were so scared after playing it. XD First time I played SSH, I was terrified to go near the temple after Henrik fell out of it. XD Like every cutscene in CUR. When the skeleton guy pops out at the beginning of CRY - yeah, I screamed, literally. XD Lots of moments from SAW... And there are probably others, lol.9. Traditions while playing the games? Um... not really! Haha. I guess with the newest ones I've been playing in the hardest mode first (so that I can't use the hint button), and when I get stuck I start up a game in the easier mode until I get to the point where I'm stuck and then I use the hint button. X)10. Most frustrating puzzle? Any slider puzzle. EWWWWWWW. The otter puzzle in HAU and that giant dragon slider puzzle. Oh and like just LIE in general frustrated me, if that counts. 11. A time you felt like Nancy Drew in real life? Hmmm... I've had some major Nancy Drew moments that I can't share for PI reasons, baha. Oh! There was once when I had a slumber party and the theme was Nancy Drew, so my parents set up this fake mystery and we all had to solve it. That was fun.12. Which one of the characters would you date? Why? NED. DO U RLY NEED AN EXPLANATION. X) Book Ned, anyway. Not sure how much I like the HeR Ned. He's a gentleman, he's brave, he's smart, he knows when to be jealous, he's selfless, and he knows what he's doing with his life. I would still never consider dating a guy unless I knew he loved Jesus with all his heart, but Ned comes closest to being the one I could actually date, baha. ;D13. Which one of the characters would you slap? Richard Topham. 14. What do you think about Sonny Joon? So many mixed feelings here... I'm going to assume we mean MED Sonny? Not necessarily the doodles guy? Because I love the doodles guy. Haha. Med Sonny... well, he was an okay character, but as Sonny Joon he was a major letdown. 15. Why do you play Nancy Drew games? Used to be because I just plain loved them! But since CAP, I've only played them so that I could talk to my HeRthling pals about them, baha...16. Do you own any ND merchandise? Nope. Books and games, that's it, haha.17. Favorite commonly hated (unpopular) ND game? RAN! 18. Favorite commonly hated (unpopular) ND character? Ewan! *dodges tomatoes*19. Any other unpopular opinions? I don't like WAC. I love Fox and Geese. I want Quigley Kim's job. I'm sure there are others. X)20. Have you ever drawn any fan art? No, but I sure have wanted to try. Some of it is AMAZING!21. Favorite game soundtrack? Oh, I'm terrible with soundtrack names... can I just say DOG? Everything in DOG. XD I really like that song that usually plays when Nancy wakes up in the morning, and that gangster song that plays at night...22. Least favorite game? Unfortunately, this is a hard question for me. -.- MED, LIE, ASH...23. Which game would make a good movie? DDI, SHA, CUR, SPY24. Game with the best ending? (No spoilers please ) STFD!25. Favorite character? ELOISE WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH... So I'mma throw out all the phone friends, because that's just not fair. And I pick Tino. MOVING ON.26. Favorite phone friend? Bahaha, guess it's a good thing I through them out of my last answer! Ned in the games 1-11. Then Frank and Joe.27. Favorite box art? DOG, hehe.28. Frank or Joe? Depends! Joe is more fun to talk to. But I would go to Frank if I needed help.29. Do you own all the games? Nope.30. Final thoughts? That was fun Eloise! Thanks for putting it together!

Thought I'd respond to some of mdetective12 and Elizabeth answers, hehe! (And EloiseDrew, I'm super curious how you would answer! ;D)
mdetective12
Oh, Australia would be a great game location!
I also really miss calling the phone friends for hints! I'm not a fan of the hint button in the new games.
You're making me really want to play SEA, haha! Haven't played it yet, but I should be getting it from my library this weekend!
Elizabeth
Your story for how you found the ND games is so similar to mine, haha!
I've seen a petition before for a game to take place in a small French village as opposed to the city. Sounds like France has a lot of cool locations to offer!
Cool art, Elizabeth! And that necklace is so neat, too! It looks hard to make!

This looks so fun! ND Challenge
Hello there! So I saw someone do this questionnaire on YouTube and I thought it would be fun to post it on here! Sooooooo... Knock yourselves out ;D 1. What was the first game you played and how old were you? Well, the first game I played is different than the first one I finished... I first found SSH randomly at a Target and was interested, but I'm pretty sure I never solved it If I did, I totally forget that, because the game I officially have as the first game I finished is DDI which I got at the library after being interested in SSH. It's very possible I finished SSH or SHA first, but I'm pretty sure it was DDI because I vaguely remember that moment haha. I think I was about... 5 or 6?
2. Did you read the books before or after you discovered the games? After. My dad read the Hardy Boys growing up, but I didn't start reading those or the ND books until after I played the games.
3. Are you excited for Midnight In Salem? Any ideas? Very! I hope it's as scary as SAW! I really don't like super scary things generally, but HeR is able to create just the amount of scare I like so that's perfect. And the location looks awesome and we're finally back in the US! Also I hope it's a transition back even more to classic games...
4. Favorite game location? Hmm... I'd say Venice because I just went there a few weeks ago haha. But Hawaii was also a cool location! And I also loved New Zealand
5. Where would you like to see a game take place? I'd love one in China... I'm traveling there next January, so it would be cool to see it in an ND game! Also Switzerland, since I was just there and it's so beautiful!
6. Anything you want to dramatically rant about? The fact that the dialogue has been so poor!! But at least SEA had dialogue choices return, so that's good. But now we're losing that writer, and Lani for that matter! And then an LGBT mention? What's happened to the company?
7. All time favorite game? Probably DDI since it was my first like I said, but I also LOVE SHA, CUR, CLK, and CAP
8. A moment that really scared you? Of course a classic scare is the first ghost dog attack... But the one that scared me the most actually happened in SAW when I was trapped in that room by the yurei and had to do the color puzzle. For some reason, I just was not expecting that and FREAKED OUT! I had to get a spoiler for that puzzle because I couldn't think. Second scariest obviously would be when the yurei was in the mirror reflection though
9. Traditions while playing the games? Just to play in my room in pitch black with the highest volume level and not stop until I finish!
10. Most frustrating puzzle? Um, I'm not one to usually get frustrated with puzzles because I've played the games enough that they usually aren't as challenging for me as they used to be... But I do remember that magnet puzzle in SHA as frustrating, before I knew about the glitch...
11. A time you felt like Nancy Drew in real life? I'm sure there has been but I can't think of anything off the top of my head... EDIT: I thought of some... Like I mentioned earlier, I was just recently in Venice and of course I rode a gondola, got gelato, explored the Piazzo San Marco, let a pigeon land on me and eat out of my hand, took a vaporetto, and explored Zattere If that doesn't make you feel like ND what does? XD I also have been to Canada right where Nancy was but it wasn't snowing when I went I did stay in a lodge though! Also I have ziplined both in Switzerland and Costa Rica, so that's kind of like Nancy in SPY too XP
12. Which one of the characters would you date? Why? Probably Bess. I love her humor. Also maybe Deirdre or Ryan for their sarcasm and humor as well.
13. Which one of the characters would you slap? TINO! XD Or Patrick
14. What do you think about Sonny Joon? I loved his character, until HeR actually made him a character Nik didn't write him very well, but since we'll have a different writer in the future, I think I'd like to see him return and see his story finished. I think I'm one of the only people to actually like MED and understand the plot
15. Why do you play Nancy Drew games? For the adventure and the nostalgia. I've loved computer games and mysteries all my life, and Nancy Drew games were the perfect thing for me to do as a child. Even now, I still enjoy them, though the reason has shifted more for nostalgia than anything else The classics are just... Perfect XD
16. Do you own any ND merchandise? No, I find that it's too expensive
17. Favorite commonly hated (unpopular) ND game? RAN. Or CRE. Or MED. Or TOT or TMB I actually really enjoyed all the games that everyone seems to hate. My top would probably be RAN just because it brings back the memory of when I visited my grandma when I was little and she had bought that game for me since it had just come out and I played it over and over. RAN is only associated with good memories for me
18. Favorite commonly hated (unpopular) ND character? Maybe Brenda? I actually thought she was kind of funny and interesting, even though she was so mean haha
19. Any other unpopular opinions? Eh, I kind of feel like TRT is overrated :rottentomato: I know everyone loves it, and I still love it as a classic, but it never had the same nostalgic pull for me that it did for others...
20. Have you ever drawn any fan art? I once tried to draw DED's cover, but never finished It actually was pretty good, and I wish I had finished it I did also make a video once featuring dramatic moments from the games and put it on Youtube. It's right here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJGPjHdxSKg It's not very good because it was filmed and edited using an app on my phone but I still like it ;D
21. Favorite game soundtrack? Probably CAP. That's one of the main reasons I love that game so much ;D But I do love all the classic games as well, and also SEA's was very good... So it's hard to say. There's never a soundtrack that I'm let down by
22. Least favorite game? Tough... I do love them all, but I'd say MED mainly because of the dialogue and really confusing plot Still fun though, in it's own way
23. Which game would make a good movie? I think SPY would be pretty cool as a movie! Or SHA!
24. Game with the best ending? (No spoilers please ) I loved the ending of LIE when Nancy came up on stage. Talk about drama! ;D
25. Favorite character? Bess, Deirdre, or Ryan Dylan probably would be my favorite male character because he's also very funny.
26. Favorite phone friend? I actually loved having Alex as a phone friend in SEA and wished she was utilized a little bit more...
27. Favorite box art? That's really hard to say, because I love the simplicity of the early game cover arts and color schemes, but on the flip side I love the new ones too... My favorite classic is probably SSH? Or DOG... My favorite new one would probably be LIE...
28. Frank or Joe? Eh Frank. Joe's too immature sometimes
29. Do you own all the games? Yep! All physical ;D Also the Dossiers, iSHA, ICE Wii, and CUR DVD (Though RED is a download I intend to get a physical copy soon)
30. Final thoughts? I loved this! So fun and creative!

By the way; Will, that was an awesome video! DANGER MUSIC OVERLOAD. IT WAS PERFECT. xD Thanks Elizabeth! ;D Yeah, though the music probably could have been edited better to make it more smooth The music was all live sound recorded directly off the computer and added on top of the video (you can actually hear my chair creak when the DAN bomb goes off XD) and since MED was about to come out, I had both it and the SPY soundtracks saved on my computer, so I recorded like two or three from SPY, and one from MED, and then the ones from DED and GTH were just the menu music But I should also mention for anybody else that's going to watch it that there are culprit spoilers for a few games! I have the games that are spoiled listed in the description |

1. What was the first game you played and how old were you? My first game was TRT and I must have been 8 because my older sister got it for her 10th birthday. I’ve adored them ever since! I actually think TRT (and all other ND games) were what caused me to become a gamer but I digress. XD
2. Did you read the books before or after you discovered the games? I read the books before I played the games and I absolutely adored them (I’m adoring a lot of things in this questionnaire aren’t I XD)! I admit though that I have never read any of the books in the Nancy Drew Files series. I should though shouldn’t I? *Eloise sighs and begrudgingly walks back to the library*… Sic! My library doesn’t carry the Nancy Drew Files books XD! Nor do they actually have very many ND books at all! Oddly enough they do have a lot of Hardy Boys books though! I’ll stop ranting now XD.
3. Are you excited for Midnight In Salem? Any ideas? I am excited for it but not as much as I have been for previous releases. I am hoping that it is very history heavy (those kinds of games are my favorite games). I hope that the duo that LJ mentioned on the AS Blog was Bess and George and not Frank and Joe because we just had them as phone friends and Bess and George have not been phone friends together since SAW.
4. Favorite game location? My favorite game location would have to be River Heights for America and Paris for International. In ASH I just loved how much detail was put into all of the locations on the map and the locations you could enter. Plus it was Nancy’s hometown! What is better than that? For DAN I thought they did a good job of accurately enough (more than other games anyway) portraying Paris. It was just so very quaint! XD
5. Where would you like to see a game take place? I would love it if they made a game that was in Russia or even just in Eastern Europe. You can see how much I want this if you click on any one of these links CREATE A ND GAME!•+°•_+°• and NANCY'S RUSSIAN ADVENTURE-PETITION and Eastern Europe~ a petition . I believe that this is slowly becoming an obsession of mine XD
6. Anything you want to dramatically rant about? Probably everything I have written above and everything I will write below XD I’m a ranty person apparently. Don’t hurt me! *dodges tomatoes*
7. All time favorite game? Oooooooo this one is sooooo hard! Well it’s a neck and neck tie between ICE and TRN. They both have great characters, locations, puzzles, plot, soundtracks, culprits, the list goes on and on. I just can’t pick one of them! So I won’t XD I’ll pick both. *dodges more tomatoes*
8. A moment that really scared you? I would have to say a great deal of Charlotte’s hauntings the first time I played GTH, the first time the monster attacks Castle Finster in CAP but only the first time I played the game (I believe I legit almost stopped playing the game for a bit because I was so scared XD), recently I replayed VEN which I hadn’t played in ages and meeting Helena scared me so bad (XD I had forgotten that that is how you meet her XD), the first time you meet Isis in ICE (but again only the first time I played the game), the tunnels in CLK like every single time I play the game (XD what is wrong with me XD), Ethel in CUR but only sometimes and the tunnels in CUR all of the time (something about dark tunnels I just don’t like… take note of that HeR for MID. If you have dark tunnels that Nancy MUST go through then I will be legitimately scared… XD),talking to Linda in CUR especially after calling Paliki sometimes, and lastly I miiiiiiight have been a bit scared at the end of SHA. Wow, I am a scared-y cat. And yes, if I didn’t write something down it never scared me… I bet a lot of you will be surprised by what I have written in this novel of an answer XD.(I’m very talky today for some reason)
9. Traditions while playing the games? My sole tradition while playing the games (although I hope to add more in the near future ;D) is to make my save file something that rhymes with one of the words of the game title. A few of my many past save files have been “Final Vinyl”, “Why Lie”, and “Danger Shmanger”. (the last one is for STFD if anyone was wondering. No? Okay… XD)
10. Most frustrating puzzle? Be prepared for another very long list because I have many XD. The giant nonogram puzzle at the end of SAW, the Bee’s Knees game from FIN always,sadly, takes me forever to do ( :foocl: ), getting ripe fruit in SHA (I bet everyone agrees on this one XD), using the wand to light up the gargoyles eyes in CUR, the fill and drain puzzle in VEN, the chemical puzzle in HAU, the GPS puzzle in RAN (it is getting easier for me though), taking photos in WAC of the girls, and the faraday cage puzzle in DED (I have miraculously been able to solve it without dying one time so that’s progress I suppose… :foocl: XD).
11. A time you felt like Nancy Drew in reallife? Well, often times I will say “It’s locked” when something is locked just without Nancy’s inflections. Oh, and yesterday I was in my library and the lights went out and I thought to myself,“If there’s a mystery here I’m ready!” I’m a weird kid XD.
12. Which one of the characters would you date? Why? Ok… So after long thought and rigorous elimination (It was intense I tell you!) I have narrowed it down to Dieter(DAN), Sonny Joon (many games including MED), and Soren (SEA). Dieter has reeeeeealy nice eyes *Eloise swoons* and his accent and his cheekbones… Plus he seems like a genuinely nice person to be around (and he is a photographer who lives in Paris which is basically my dream so… yeah I really like Dieter) X). Sonny Joon is a hilarious guy with great hair, great jobs (that he promptly loses but hey he travels the world), and he doodles! This is proof that we weremeant to be together. Plus I bet he has a stash of Koko Kringles somewhere that I could use my detective skills to raid. All the candy for ME! *Sonny glares at Eloise* *Eloise with mouth and hands full of Koko Kringle bars*: What?!. And lastly for Soren (which I bet was a surprise to everybody. Or almost everybody anyway X) ) I like his sweater and his job and where he lives and his degree and his voice and his hair and his beard (he pulls it off quite nicely I do declare XD) and his gift shop and his Culture Center. *Eloise swoons* Ok I’m done now! :foocl: XD
13. Which one of the characters would you slap? Again, there are quite a few people I would slap for hopefully obvious reasons XD: Hector Sanchez, Brady Armstrong (but only near the end of FIN), Taylor Sinclair (he. Just. Bugs me.), every one in DOG except for Jeff Akers (sorry Livi! :foocl: ), Ollie Randal, Henry Bolet Jr. (reasons…many reasons XD), Colin Baxter, and Yumi Shimizu. My little brother says that Imust be the villain for wanting to slap so many people. Maybe he’s right MWAHAHAHAHAA!!! X)
14. What do you think about Sonny Joon? Reference number 12 please. I want him to be a phone friend so badly!!!!
15. Why do you play Nancy Drew games? They are the only place I can be happy. (lol no XD but really) I play the ND games because they make me feel like a super hero and they allow me to live out all of my dreams while I am too young to do them myself.
16. Do you own any ND merchandise? An Ultimate Nancy Drew Fan Journal which I absolutely adore! I hope to get some t-shirts for my birthday though. (hint hint to parents who aren’t reading this so they will never know XD)
17. Favorite commonly hated (unpopular) ND game? I am probably going to be thrown into a lake for this but… MED, RAN, and CRE. I legitimately enjoy playing these games and they are higher on my list of favorite games then a few others.*hides from everyone*
18. Favorite commonly hated (unpopular) ND character? Well this will be interesting: Rick Arlen, Jeff Akers (I don’t think very many people like ANY of the characters in DOG *hears Livi crying in a corner* *goes to comfort her*),Tex Britten, Richard Topham (*grins at Livi*), Tino Balducci (is he an unpopular character? I don’t remember…), Jean-Michel Traquenard, Malachi Craven, Yanni Volkstaia (*Eloise swoons* *Everyone stares at her* What?!), Gilbert Buford, Lamont Warrick, Takae Nagai (I honestly don’t see what all the fuss is about. She talks at a perfectly fine speed for me XD), Victor Lossett (sue me), Sonny Joon from MED (see 12), and Magnus. *Eloise braces herself for the tomato attack*
19. Any other unpopular opinions? I’m scared. Ok so this will be basically a list of all the characters that I don’t like that everyone else does so let’s see if I’m still alive by the end of it shall we . I don’t like Wade Thornton, Savannah Woodham, Dylan Carter, Pa, Cou Cou, Donal Delany, Colin Baxter, Henry Bolet Jr., Freddie Randall, Joe Hardy in CRE (for all of the reasons), Heather McKay, Uri (Richard Topham’s cat. I can stand the man just not his cat), Lou Lou, Jane Penvelyn, Dave Gregory (*cowers in fear of the thousands of Dave fangirls*), Harlan Bishop (I don’t know if it was his voice or what…), Red Knott, Emily Griffen, Abby Sideris, Millie Strathorn, and Daryl Gray (but only SCK2 version, not original). *Eloise cheers for still being alive and then gets splatted with a tomato*
20. Have you ever drawn any fan art? Yes, I have! I even did a Nancy Drew theme for an art project I had to do in computer class. I am the complete Nancy Drew geek XD.
21. Favorite game soundtrack? Wow. This is hard! I love the music in SCK, TRT (truly the best soundtrack ever. I am biased though XD), FIN (although nostalgia factors into this one I still love it nonetheless), DOG (although I hate to admit it for some unknown reason XD), CUR, CLK, and SAW (this one is more for the music as a whole and a lot less of loving a lot of the individual tracks. Don’t know how that works though XD). My favorite individual tracks are “Aunt Eloise’s House” and “Myst Light” from SCK, “Lobby” from STFD, “Warm”, “Somber”, “Garden”, and “Hallway” from TRT, “Sleuth” and “Discovery” from FIN, “Malone”, “Ghosts”, and “Day” from DOG, “Ballroom” from CAR, “Pub”, “Mystery”, and “Caves” from DDI, “Renaissance”, “Memoirs”, and “Fairy” from CUR, “Common” and “Mystery”from CLK (wow. Real original title there HeR XD), “Melody” from TRN, “Café” from DAN, “Flurry” from ICE (again, I’m probably biased XD), “Toro” from RAN, “Kasumi” from SAW, “Kate” from SPY, “Longing” from LIE (this probably in part by the fact that it reminds me of “Toro”), and “The Word I Couldn’t Keep” from SEA (I bet all of you have no idea which songs these are but if you look them up on YouTube you’ll find them ).
22. Least favorite game? TMB, WAC, and SHA for sure but not in that order.
23. Which game would make a good movie? Get ready for another shocker of an answer (well I suppose it is normal for the most part but…). I think MED (sue me), SPY, TMB, CAP, CRE, DDI, and MHM would all make great movies. (I really can’t just pick one for anything can I X) :foocl: )
24. Game with the best ending? (No spoilers please) ![]() And yet again I cannot pick just one. What is wrong with me? My favorite game endings (in no particular order) are DDI, RAN, DED, GTH, and MED (sue me again).
25. Favorite character? Soren and Alexei are tied for first and Tino and Sonny Joon are tied for second. (Indecisive Eloise. So indecisive.)
26. Favorite phone friend? Since I’ve decided not to count the phone friends like Ned, Bess, and George who are in almost every game, my favorite phone friends are Markus Boehm, Hilda Swensen, Logan, P. G. Krolmeister, Tino Balducci, Mystico, Zu (DAN), and Burt (SEA). I also reaaaaaly badly want Alexei from ASH to be a phone friend soon. Like really ever so badly.
27. Favorite box art? The box art for STFD would have to be my favorite of what I consider the original style of the covers (I think the style changed with DAN or CRE) and for the new style of covers my favorite would have to be the cover for SAW (although VEN’s cover and LIE’s cover were close behind).
28. Frank or Joe? I would have to say both of them together because they are incomplete if they are apart. Like Nancy and Ned or Big Island Mike and shave ice XD (I’ve been watching waaaay too much Arglefumph lately X) )
29. Do you own all the games? I own all of the games except SCK1, CRE, CUR DVD, and ICE PC. I hope to get a few of the games in French soon though.
30. Final thoughts? Gosh I’m good at making questionnaires and answering them! XD If anyone was wondering this whole thing has a word count of 2417. Ishould just use this as my Camp NaNo project instead. Anyhoo, I’m so glad you guys all liked it and I will try to post comments for your guys’ answers soon! Although seeing how long it took me to answer this I have a feeling the wait may be a while. XD P.S. This took me a legit full three days to put together. I make poor life choices! XD
