Abby's thoughts on Mortal Kombat

Abby's thoughts on video games

When asked what type of video game would make a great show or vice versa, Abby suggested that Fargo, the movie directed by the Coen brothers, would be an excellent fit. She explained that she loved the high drama, acting, and puzzle-solving aspects of the film, which are also present in some video games.

Abby's thoughts on pop culture

When asked about a pop culture item - such as a movie, game, or book - that she loves but most people seem to dislike, Abby revealed that she is not afraid to say what she thinks. She joked about being a "stoner loser" who loved Adult Swim cartoons, specifically Aqua Teen Hunger Force. When asked for her favorite fan theory from the game Petey, Abby shared that she got really into the game's lore and enjoyed trying to figure out its mysteries.

Abby's thoughts on video games from her childhood

When asked about the first video game she remembered playing, Abby revealed that it was Mario 64, which was released for the Nintendo 64. She also shared a fond memory of playing Gauntlet with her sister, who would often play as a wizard and help each other get further in the game.

Abby's thoughts on making a game

When asked if she would make a game if given the opportunity, Abby revealed that she would love to create a game similar to Tomodachi Life, where players can create and customize their own characters.

will you say something no not really okay I'm excited to be here I watched them the other ones for research I I didn't Ben watch this well no I watched some for pleasure and then some for research okay John O'Hara you're forced to fight any living adult in a mortal combat scenario with the catch being that the winner becomes the other person who do you pick and John would pick Moby because he's a pacifist and probably way healthier who would you fight I would fight Ellen DeGeneres because she's a you'd win probably not I feel like she probably is a team of people who like teach her how to workout very fit I felt like a martial artist trainer I'm sure I bet she's probably pretty strong but she's also older so I feel like I have a chance you could just run around run circles around I feel like it's either way it's a win-win because if I beat her than I get to run the Ellen show and if I lose then I get murdered by Ellen right so some I would choose Wes Anderson okay totally beat his ass but I want to be him because I'm just so pissed off like by how talented he is huh do you get like all of their mind I think so Veta labayda says I'm on Amazon check out two items in the bag Skyrim special edition and Yakuza zero I can only proceed with one which should I choose I have not played either games Skyrim Skyrim is like a classic it's in the zeitgeist like you have to play this guy yeah Skyrim you need to play just to be a part of the conversation general totally agree what video game would make a great show or vice versa I always wanted to play like a slow-paced like Fargo kind of game that's like really high drama well acted but like pepper bits of action and like puzzle solving and something like that so my answer is Fargo the the video game do you have one I I don't best Batman movie I always liked the Tim Burton Batman's the original I was going to say that the original 1980 a line for me but the print soundtrack I still listen to it really just seals it I mean then Nolan ones are excellent but like really really hits a spot with me I like a fun Batman at your Donen asks what's a pop culture thing a movie a game or a book that you love but most people seem to dislike I think maybe the I feel like the we talk to everybody in the industry and they're like the first we yeah the one that sold like a gajillion I don't know talk to anybody that I work with you gotta get some new friends okay it's a controversial opinion I realize everyone like I in college was like super into all the Adult Swim cartoons because it was like just starting out and everyone

very good thank you I thought I was sitting next to Meatwad Matty G what's your favorite fan Theory from a movie or book this isn't really like a movie or book one but I like there's a lot of like weird lore around the game Petey yes which I get really into like the Petey love that stuff just looking into like all these weird like clues and hands and usually there's like some substance to them like there's this one thing about if you're playing the game you can get possessed by the ghost lady you can yes and there's a whole thing about like you can tell you're possessed because you can hear three footsteps versus just the two and i've actually went back and watched you can totally hear the three it's like nuts young metro atlanta what's the first video game you remember playing oh boy Mario 64 no how dare you my dad had an NES we played a lot of I remember my sister now to play this game gauntlet I think yeah sure yeah and I remember we would both be Wizards because I could heal each other so we could like get pretty far when we were both wizards I just remember would always do the line where it was like wizard needs food badly which is like what it would say they're like hurt seat of power Abby if you were gonna make a game what would it be oh man I feel like I would make like a game like Tomodachi life that's that Japanese game for the 3ds where you like make little me versions of yourself and your friends okay then you could like make them sing songs and they're like all living this apartment building together so I would do it where I would make like me and all
