Well I don't mind gore at all, but I don't often find myself a fan of superhero shows
Perhaps the lie is you've watched PBG? This is a tough one. All 3 are big or have been big. PBG being the least of the bunch, but still great. (I met him in 2016, turns out we are about the same height to both of our surprises, and he was featured in a video I made hehe)
Also, you didn't guess my lie, so I'll just post mine again! hehe
I've owned a Razor phone
I've owned a Blackberry phone
I've owned a Sidekick phone -

I think it was pretty good. If you ever get the time to check it out, it's only 8 episodes (though each one is like 45 minutes long).
Ooooooh that's pretty cool! But no, PBG isn't the lie. I've actually never watched the Angriest Video Game Nerd. I'm actually watching Scott the Woz's latest video right now.
Oof right. Sorry about that (I honestly almost forgot to guess the lie again
). Uhhhh I do not know my phones......eenie meenie miney.....Razor Phone. I think that's the lie.
I actually like the Last Jedi
I actually like 2001: A Space Odyssey
I actually like Cars 2 -

Sorry I forgot about this thread for a minute hehe
And I'd recommend some AVGN at some point, though prepare yourself for goofy vulgarity for the sake of vulgarity if indeed you take a peak! hehe
Wow, your guess nailed it. Razor phones were the most common among teens like in that era so I thought I coulda thrown you off the scent with my not ever having one, but instead having a Blackberry Flip hahaha.
Going to guess the lie is Cars 2. Because that would probably be my lie if I'm being honest.
I like using pens
I like using markers
I like using pencils -

Heh, actually I like Cars 2. I enjoyed it when I was little. The lie was 2001: A Space Odyssey. That movie bore me to death.
I think the markers one is the lie. You seem to be a more professional kinda guy. Pens are very professional, pencils are very convenient as you can erase them. Markers are neither.
So this is gonna be fun. Okay, so there is this one RP I participate in and I don't use OC's. Instead, I use characters from the Sonic franchise or other video game franchises and I like to think of creative ways as to how to introduce those franchises into the world of Sonic. Working with the limitations of the fact that it takes place in the Sonic canon is very fun. SO! In a Sonic-themed RP, I have
Introduced characters from Mario
Introduced characters from Portal
Introduced characters from Pokemon -

I think Portal is the lie, because that franchise barely has any characters. Mario being a platformer is easier to integrate with Sonic, and Pokémon has an abundance of characters to integrate. I love Pokémon characters and I think integrating them into a Sonic RP would be awesome, but potentially more challenging depending on how experimental you are willing to get with the lore.
Speaking of Pokémon, that inspires mine:
My favorite movie of all time (ever, out of all movies, not just Pokémon) is Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea.
My favorite Pokémon is Hydreigon.
My favorite Pokémon region is Hoenn. -

Funnily enough, Portal was actually the easiest to do since most of the story takes place underground. A question I often ask myself is "Why haven't we seen this franchise in this canon before in the games?" and answer it with a solution. Since Aperture Science is underground, putting that franchise in is no problem. I did have to take some creative liberties though as GLaDOS in that rp canon doesn't kill the scientists and, in fact, Chell is one of the scientists.
The lie is the Mario one. I have done Pokemon and it's quite fun to try and get that in there. What's funny is, out of all of the characters I introduced, only one of them is a Pokemon in the games. But in this canon, since Pokemon don't exist, I instead make that Pokemon (which happens to be a dragon) an actual dragon instead of a Pokemon (and I made one of the human Pokemon characters be able to shapeshift into that dragon.).
At first I thought it was two since that stands out as that is a Gen 5 Pokemon instead of a Gen 3 but I'm going with the first one. I would be very surprised if, out of all the movies, a Pokemon anime movie would be your number one favorite.
1. I have God of War for the PS2
2. I have Devil May Cry for the PS2
3. I have Shadow of the Colossus for the PS2. -

That's really clever! I only ever played the first Portal game and it was quite a long time ago, so I'm sure I don't have proper context or understanding of the characters. I always loved the atmosphere of the game so that's very cool to incorporate into a roleplay.
Just out of curiosity, was that character Iris? Those are awesome ideas and a fantastic way to incorporate ideas interdimensionally whilst retaining the core soul of the entity (whether human or Pokémon, etc). I feel like Sonic and Pokémon share a lot of things in common on tonal, archetypal and thematic levels so it's always fun to imagine how those worlds, characters and ideas could intermingle.

I understand your surprise, but actually, Hydreigon being my favorite is the lie. I love it a great deal, but it's not a top favorite. It's probably my 4th favorite pseudolegendary Pokémon with Dragapult being number 3, Metagross number 2, and then Salamence being my top favorite. None of them are my top favorite Pokémon overall out of everything, however.
Hoenn is by far my favorite Pokémon region in both the games and the anime, and my favorite generation of the anime is definitely Advanced Generation. Furthermore, Pokémon Emerald is my favorite game of all time (out of all games ever), and Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea is my favorite movie of all time ever. The reasons for this are sufficiently complex and in-depth that they extend beyond the scope of this post. In order to fully illustrate this, I would likely need to make multiple separate threads reviewing Pokémon Emerald + overall gen 3 and Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea + contextualization across overall gen 3 movies and anime. I will likely do this at some point, but for now I will just provide a condensed analysis focused on the Temple of the Sea movie specifically as it is the subject of my truth.
I've always been a big fan of movies. Less so in recent years as I've shifted more focus to other forms of media, but I've seen many movies spanning many genres. I am absolutely no critic or expert by any means, but I do have an amateur level of knowledge and appreciation for a moderately wide gamut of style, mechanism and form across at least 80 years of cinema. Similarly I've enjoyed many TV shows, cartoons and anime, as well as many books, short stories and more. I have been touched in different ways and to different degrees by many characters, stories, ideas and fictional universes. None have touched my heart on the level of the Pokémon multiverse, primarily the subset consisting of its game and anime/movie universes. Pokémon has a special way of encapsulating the essence of heart and life, whether through childhood nostalgia and a remembering of bygone friends and eras reigniting ambition for clarity of heart and spirit, or through dreamlike inspiration of interconnecting thought-spheres and their chorus of heart arcing beyond an eclipsed and darkened sky. Whether through paths walked or paths imagined, we can experience a foreign familiarity through shared expression transcending the liminality of local perception.
Out of these universes, the worlds that touch my heart the deepest are those of Advanced Generation: namely all generation 3 Pokémon games (especially Pokémon Emerald), and the entirety of the Advanced Generation anime and movies.
I could write endlessly about these games, the anime and each individual movie, but I will focus on Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea as it is my absolute favorite.
This movie hits me hard on so many levels. For starters, the characters and story are absolutely precious. May is my favorite character by far, and while she has countless beautiful stories, her story told through Temple of the Sea most comprehensively and elegantly encapsulates the precious essence of her character, her heart, her personality, goals and motivations. I won't describe any particular events in detail to avoid spoiling it for anyone reading who hasn't seen it: I strongly recommend watching the movie, as well as an associated special digging into the making of the flim (which can be found on at least one DVD version). The making of special is absolutely fantastic as well, and I was deeply touched by the extent to which the director, writers and artists put careful thought and consideration into the story, world and characters, including traveling internationally and seeing historical landmarks to inspire various artistic and cultural elements of the movie.
Additionally, the visual art and musical style of the movie is absolutely beautiful. In my opinion, it has the most beautiful art and music across all aspects out of any Pokémon movie (and I've seen them all, and dearly love all of them). While all Pokémon movie and anime art does a fantastic job of conveying powerful emotion across an appealing and intelligent blend of realism and idealism, this movie builds everything with extra care and passion, resulting in tremendous detail, stunning lighting and moving synchronous effects across multidimensional artistic images and moments, musical swell and timing across silence and speech. It all works together to create a symphony of heart and life.
On a more personal level, the movie encapsulates my absolute favorite visual/artistic theme of all time: oceanic/seafaring, along with multiple strong supporting themes spanning my other top favorites, including ancient ruins, dream spaces / surrealism, ancient history / culture and timeless mystery. Between these top echelon themes being a central focus, carried by the perfect symphony of heart and encapsulating the soul of my favorite character May (who is indeed my favorite for countless reasons beyond this particular movie), this produces the perfect art for me. Of course all of this is subjective, and I don't claim that this (or any) art will have the same impact on 2 different people. But therein lies the joy of art: it starts as an idea shared by one or more creators, and takes on new and expanded life across disparate meaning and interpretation among different individuals, yet striking at universal truths and core archetypes.
This union of soul, heart, mechanism and flow throughout this movie has given me chills and brought tears to my eyes on many an occasion. While I have certainly been touched by countless movies, none feel home to me in the way this does. Perhaps it strikes at an esoteric and archetypal layer regarding the ocean, and water itself: I have always felt inexplicably "at home," whatever that means, near any body or form of water ranging from fountains to the vastness of sea. I have pondered my relationship and connection to this particular dimension of the natural world my whole life, and I have only thought of less answers and more questions as time continues to flow. Regardless of the science, psychology or spiritual essence thereof, its profound and indescribable meaning to me on a personal level is undeniable, and plays a core role in the degree to which this movie touches my heart, transmitting its core soul and ideas through this archetypal and to me, quinessential medium of Ocean presented so artfully and beautifully in this symphony that I daresy no artistic depiction of Ocean anywhere else has ever touched me to this degree.
While I can certainly describe more details in a future full review (with spoiler warnings and all), in conclusion this movie touches my heart on a multidimensional and nonlocal basis transcending the standard concordance of time and space. It brings feelings and images from my past, while inexplicably linking to heart and vision for the future across layers and possibilities real and unreal, explored and unexplored, awaiting traversal by heart arcing beyond the eclipse.

I honestly have no idea, lol. Just thinking about these games thematically, I feel like Devil May Cry and Shadow of the Colossus share more in common with each other than they do with God of War. But this is going off of my surface level understanding as I haven't personally played any of the games in these series. So based on my limited analytical ability here, I will guess that God of War for the PS2 is the lie.
Guess the lie:
- One of my favorite game/movie/TV genres is Horror
- One of my favorite musical genres is Melodic Death Metal
- One of my favorite book genres is Historical Drama/Romance
- One of my favorite game/movie/TV genres is Horror

Funnily enough, it was not Iris. In fact, it was a champion I honestly didn't know much of at first which is Cynthia. I won't go into much detail here (but I can if you want) but essentially it was taking place in an asylum for a Sonic villain OC another roleplayer has. I had two major characters who had completely different personalities with one being terrifying and calculative (which was, funnily enough, the therapist) and the other being extremely kind (technically they're three characters being a nurse, chef, and receptionist....and I think I practically gave away who I used). I wanted the head of this place to be someone who is both nice but can also be very terrifying and strong so it's a combination of the two main characters. I also wanted it to be consistent with the Pokemon theme I was going for with the staff in that place. Cynthia, with the ability to turn into Garchomp in this canon, was the only person who could fit the bill for me. I'm still working on her backstory for this canon but I do think Iris will be playing a significant role in her past. I took a LOT of creative liberties with these characters.
I remember watching the Temple of the Sea movie but I have more memories of reading the book rather than the movie. I'm glad you really like the movie. For me, I think my favorite Gen 3 movie is Destiny Deoxys. When I was little, I really liked all the technology that the movie has.
Yeah, I suppose I should've done an easier one. But the lie is the third one. I don't have Shadow of the Colossus. I do own God of War but I haven't tried it out. I've been playing a lot of the PS4 God of War game though.
Hmmm, I think it's the Historical Drama/Romance. It stands out from the other two as it is usually less dark.
Pinocchio scared me when I was little.
The Nightmare Before Christmas scared me when I was little.
Finding Nemo scared me when I was little.
