Read Play Blog is a meme about video games and books, posted every 16th of the month. Bloggers are encouraged to answer a discussion question, and recommend a video game that is similar to a book they liked. Hosted by Happy Indulgence Books & Read Me Away.
Read Play Blog is back for another month of gaming! This month’s question is:
What game character do you relate to the most?
The thing about Rinoa, is that although she is outwardly confident and warm with people, inside, she’s extremely insecure and afraid of people leaving her. There’s no other character that I’ve been able to relate to as well as I have with Rinoa. I need to get my cosplay on!
Recommendation & Currently Playing: Fallout Shelter
Yessss Fallout Shelter is now on Android! This game is such a fun Sim of running a shelter! It’s a combination of The Sims and XCom. You assign jobs to people living in your Vault or you can send them out to explore the wastelands! I love all the little details that make up this game and it’s so much fun. And it’s FREE! I had to restart my game because one extremely charismatic guy fathered a few too many babies and I got confused 😛 also it’s creepy. But yes, download it (it’s also on iOS).
Next month’s question: Which game characters do you relate to the most?– post your answer, recommendation & currently playing on the 16th or anytime during the month and link up!

I had a lot of trouble picking characters for this one. I have a tough time with the same topic when it comes to reading. I see bits and pieces of myself in a lot of characters, but never the right mix. Probably why my favorite games are choice based or let me be the voiceless hero in a free sandbox world.
Oh Fallout Shelter sounds good! I like sim type games, will have to download that. And yay for it being free!
I haven't played that game with Rinoa, although I think it's on steam now, so I hope I can buy it eventually.
I can't really think of a character I can relate to a lot.
My recent post Lola’s Kitchen: Dal Dhokli Recipe
It is so much fun Lola, I'm really enjoying it!
My friend has recently gotten addicted to Fallout Shelter, and I am afraid to download it on my phone because then I'LL NEVER LEAVE.
Are you ready for Fallout 4?
YUP SOUNDS LIKE MY LIFE. I AM SO READY VAL
I really struggled finding someone I relate too, I'm not sure there is anyone. I just ended up picking some people I had felt strongly for recently. My post isnt up yet though.
I downloaded Fallout Shelter the first day too and I'm so addicted ooops. I swear Im checking it every 5 minutes…
My recent post Bought, Borrowed & Bagged (74)
I know, it's really hard to find a character you relate to isn't it? Will check it out when it's up! Oh man, I'm the same! So addictive…I can see it getting old quickly though
I'm currently playing Dragon Age Inquisition, it is super awesome!!! I can't think of a character that I relate to, but Sarah is providing me with endless amusement in this game so far. ;]
Oh man, I really want to play that! I think I would become obsessed!
I'm still stuck on Mario hahaha!
My recent post Steampunk Sundays: The Dream Engine by Johnny B. Truant and Sean Platt
Hahah I've moved on
Great choice with Rinoa – I like her a lot too. 😉
Yay to Fallout Shelter as well – so excited for Fallout 4 so really need to get this to tide me over until its release. 🙂
Oh man, Fallout Shelter is so much fun!
Maybe I should play a Final Fantasy…I've never really played any of the games, but so many people love them! FFXV is coming out soon, isn't it…maybe I'll start with that one.
My recent post Review: Soulprint by Megan Miranda
It's got a really immersive story Nara, they are really huge games though!
Yesss I love Rinoa, she's my favourite along with Yuna and Terra! I love her cheerfulness, her love for her doggie and of course her vulnerable core. I will never get sick of hearing Eyes on Me haha. Gah my old school FF feels are reawakened!
My recent post Book Review: Updraft
OMG TERRA!! I loved her and Celeste! I wanted to name my future kid Celeste at one point hahah. I need to do this RInoa cosplay some time
Okay, I need Fallout Shelter in my life….!
YUP HAVE YOU DOWNLOADED IT
Fallout Shelter sounds pretty cool – awesome that it's free too! I don't game, but I have friends that do and I'm always curious about various games, etc.

My recent post Getting to Know (3) + Questions Answered
It was a lot of fun as an app Lauren! you should give it a go
Probably can't relate to anyone, as I'm not a big gamer. But it's nice when you can easily assimilate to a well loved game/books/character. 🙂
My recent post Photo Vomit [20]: Old Books and Library Cards
Yesss I'm still yet to find a book character that is similar to me!
"It’s a combination of The Sims and XCom" Obviously I need to try this then, ASAP! I've only played the FF13 series (and loved them) so I don't really know too much the games outside of that. I bought the PS3 remake they did of X and X-2 but couldn't get into it because I didn't like the fighting style. Plus I had just come off a mad Dragon Age hangover, haha.
My recent post Review: Birdy by Jess Vallance
It is so incredibly addictive Alise! You must get it! I haven't played any other FF past FFX-2 lol. I need to get into DA as well
I love this post, Jeann! stay awesome! 🙂
Thank you so much hun <3
You know, I'm not entirely sure who I would relate to the most. Secretly I'm a little mischievous and talkative, but outside I'm that shy little kid.
I can definitely see some traits of Rinoa in me, though! I'm just less talkative. :p
P.S. FIRST!! 😀
