Contest is over!!! Congratulations to AllanD

1.Moonbeam Absinthe (BIOSHOCK)
2. A heart, a soul, a body (KH2)
3.Seto (FF7)
4.S.S. Dolphin (PIKMIN)
5.Marvelous Compass (paper mario: the thousand year door)

Thank you for playing, I wish you luck in your future Beta endeavors!


~+~+~+~+ mOnion's Test Your Video Game Knowledge Contest! +~+~+~+~

I have one more beta key left to give away, and I have crafted this series of 5 video game riddles. Each riddle pertains to one of each of my Top 5 Favorite Games (currently).

Each game is a major title, so there'e no weird underground shit that you would never guess.

Be the first to PM me the correct answer to all 5 riddles, the answer, not the game they're from, and the Beta Key is yours!!! Messages must include all 5 answers at once, do NOT send me a single PM for each answer. The winning PM will be the one that contains all 5 correct answers at once.

Let's begin shall we?

+ Show Spoiler [Riddle 1] +
I am a poet, sculptor, playwright, etc. When this little moth strays innocently into my domain, I use him to complete my masterpiece, my muse, my Quadtych. I hate the rabbit, and I want to take the ears off. What is the drink strewn about all over my personal room?

+ Show Spoiler [Riddle 2] +
I conducted research for a long time here at Hollow Bastion. I performed experiment after experiment, delving deeper into my studies. Eventually I discovered that 3 elements combine to create a life, what are the 3 elements?

+ Show Spoiler [Riddle 3] +
I was always fond of my mother and despised my father for abandoning us when the Gi attacked. Little did I know that he defended my home from the onslaught completely by himself, only to be turned to stone by poison arrows at the conclusion of the battle. What is my father's name?

+ Show Spoiler [Riddle 4] +
I finally returned home after an almost 30 day "vacation" on a strange planet where I met these adorable creatures who helped get me home. I named them after my favorite food. When I arrived back though, I found that the company I worked for was going bankrupt and had to liquidate my ship to help pay off it's debt. What is the name of my ship that they took?

+ Show Spoiler [Riddle 5] +
Another day, another adventure. I've saved this girl probably a hundred times, but still she finds a way to get kidnapped, this time not even by my usual nemesis. While trying to find a way to save her, I run into my twin brother (who's always been a better jumper). He's on an adventure as well, collecting 7 pieces of something. What is he collecting pieces of?


Good luck! Feel free to discuss in the thread if you like, and I'll post hints if things get too difficult.

EDIT: if you send me an attempt, I will tell you how many you got correct, but not which are which.

Number 2 you could get from googling sort of, I didn't bother searching deeper because I don't know other 4 and I have homework to not do

Thanks for the contest and thanks for posting the correct answers, I actually had marvelous compass at first, but then I googled again and it said it was in a book only (I have no idea about anything Mario-related.), so I switched it out with star pieces.
I close one eye, and I see half. I close both, and I see everything.
