1 - Playing the demo of PVZ1 on my new Xbox 360 with my two older sisters, we used to constantly replay the demo until my parents bought us the full game when I did well on a math paper!
2 - Not only my favorite PVZ game, but also my favorite game of all time! Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 1. 50% nostalgia, coming home after bad days to play crazy Garden Ops is a memory I cherish so much, but also due to it having a similar cozy style where many UI elements resembled PVZ1 and PVZ2 styles and the vibrant colors!
3 - It's incredibly close between Bonk Choy, Bowling Bulb and Hypno-Shroom but I think I have to give it to Bowling Bulb. I love how much strategies can be used with it - such as using it alongside Garlic and Electric Currant. On top of that, the bowling levels in Big Wave Beach were some of the best in the whole game!
4 - Around 10 years ago (wow... such a long time ._.) I kept getting paired with the same guy for Garden Ops. Not just in one day, but over the course of a few months. I used to get really excited every time we matched up together again! Not friending that guy is one of the worst mistakes I ever made...
5 - Merch specifically, I have a sunflower plushie! But other purchases as well were 6 copies of the original game (Xbox 360, Xbox ONE, PC, DS, Tablet and Phone), 2 copies of PVZ2 (Tablet and Phone), 1 copy of PVZ 3 (Tablet), 3 copies of Garden Warfare 1 (Xbox 360, Xbox ONE and PC), 2 copies of Garden Warfare 2 (Xbox ONE and PC), 2 copies of Battle for Neighborville (Xbox ONE and Nintendo Switch) and 1 copy of PVZ heroes (Tablet). You guys have definitely had your fair share of my money.... (100% worth it though...)
6 - Y'know how I said Garden Warfare 1 was my favorite game ever.... Well, I bought it on accident. Being the crazed PVZ fan that I am (See Q5 for more details...) I REALLY wanted PVZ2 for my Xbox 360, as we all know PVZ 2 is NOT on xbox 360 but every day I would check anyway to see if it ever released. One day, I found Garden Warfare and saw a picture of Bonk Choy hitting a Conehead and that was enough to convince me to buy the game thinking it was PVZ2! When I first started playing I was just thinking 'Wow this is a slight graphical overhaul!' until I started playing the game - Welcome Mat at Port Scallywag! At this point, I realized I made a mistake but I tried the game anyway and was immediately hooked! I regret nothing!!!!!
7 - Plants vs Zombies showed me the true magic of video games and I want to thank everyone who ever worked on these games for helping make such an incredible piece of art! Before I go, just a few messages from my brain... PEASHOOTER FOR SUPER SMASH BROS!!! ADD 2 PLAYER CO-OP AND VERSUS TO FUTURE PVZ TITLES!!!! PLEASE LET BOWLING BULB STAYYYY!!!!!
Thank you all at EA and Popcap for making this all possible :D
