how good is your memory?
DeadSpaceX:
Good memory, filled with useful, semi useful, and useless knowledge. Contextual recall or if i'm asked a direct question answer pops up if i know it no matter when/where i learned it. The only major issue is time related personal events...no clue what year in many cases that they occurred. I know how old i was at the time, carefully counting back i can pinpoint the date...just annoying that i can have up to photographic recall of a lot of things...and quick dates elude me. Other dates easily recallable, just not my own.
Great game memory, hands remember, head remembers. Picked up SF4 pc recently, hadn't played anything in that series since SS2 Turbo on snes (when it was first released). Still had the timings for M.Bisons and blankas moves, still remembered all the combos. Though...can't tell you the date i played it the snes version (26~27...puts date at '91/'92)
they say memory is the first to go...can't remember what the second thing was...(old joke), i like that xiong posted that about passwords and muscle memory, very buzzed and drew a blank at what one of my passwords was...stared at the keys...then just let my hands do it, muscle memory recalled the pattern...figuring out how mem works, how it's stored, tagged, processed...pet project. :-[ (shuts up now)
Mag-X:
I'm really bad at remembering peoples' names, movie titles, band names, and stuff like that.
On the other hand, I can easily remember the massively overly convoluted names of motherboards, CPUs, and video cards. I can even remember which rebranded Nvidia cards are the same.
I have an easier time remembering the names of cars if they are named with technical codes (like BMW, Audi, and Mercedes), rather than just words. But regardless, I can easily name 95% of all cars I see out on the road.
Otherwise, I'd say I'm average with everything else, I guess. I can't think of anything I am particularly good or bad at remembering, anyway.

I cram for every test. Last minute studying seems to be all I need to make an A, so why bother making a big deal out of it, imo.
I'm guessing my memory serves me well. ;)

I seem to pick and choose what I remember. If it interests me I will remember it. If I just don't care then I will forget it in anywhere between 30 seconds and 3 days.
Just today I walked down the hall to do something. Got halfway and turned back and sat in lounge. Mother got mad and asked why I wasn't vacuuming. In the 30 seconds it had taken from asking me, to moving into the hallway, I had forgotten what I was doing and decided to go back to watching my movie.
On the other hand if it relates to games I usually remember it for years later.
I am okay with names. I usually don't remember the whole name right away but usually just running names through my head that are close to what I think it is triggers it.
Viseroid:
There are moments where my music is set to random and a song I haven't heard for 2 years comes on. Suddenly I can remember the weather, the time of day, and how I was feeling the last time I listened to that song. I've talked to a friend and she also has moments like this. Kinda spooky but pretty cool :).
I think I remember most of the first 151 pokemon from when I was a pokemon-tard back in middle school. Playing the games over and over probably helped :P. Even now as a uni graduate I can sometimes tell what pokemon a kid encountered when he's playing on his DS from the sound effect xD.
