[00:00] Hi, I'm Erika Ishii and this is my Play History. Let's go! My first console was a Game Boy Color.
[00:14] It was everything I wanted it to be and more. I played so much of the Pokemon Red that I want to say that that's probably my favorite game on the Game Boy Color.
[00:28] I still have a pink Game Boy Color. I'm not what we call good at gaming. I'm just very enthusiastic. All right, here we go.
[00:40] Most played. Oh my God! 216 outs in Blueprints and only 46% complete.
[00:54] What's wrong with me? 88 hours for the three Uncharted games. Last of Us 2, okay, 38 hours is respectable. Until Dawn, now why would I have played
[01:07] 35 hours of Until Dawn? My guess is because I have played through it multiple times in an attempt to save everyone. I 100 have still recorded for more hours than I have played of Ghost of Yotay I did all of the performance capture for all of the cinematics Not the stunts the stunts are done by an incredible team
[01:34] but for all of the big, exciting cinematics, it's me running around in the suit. Let's go check out my Steam account. What?
[01:46] 206.8 hours of Jackbox? Wow. Dream Daddy, one of my very first roles as Amanda. The world is a beautiful buffet of dateable NPCs.
[02:01] Get out there, baby. Okay, here we go. My Nintendo account. Oh, I haven't played any other games in the Virtual Game Keep.
[02:15] This is just 85 hours in Legend of Zelda Wind Waker. And here's my thing about what I love about the older Zelda games, is that there's only so much distraction for somebody who's incredibly ADHD like I am.
[02:28] I call myself a completionist, but I don't always make it. I think I just love the environment of games. Thank you so much for joining me for my play history, and here's to finding your joy in gaming.
[02:41] I am not a good gamer, but I am thorough.
