    Have you ever bought old consoles years after release?

    I wanted to do the same thing with a PS3, but I ultimately gave up for a reason or another. I still have it floating in my mind, though, I missed out on so many of their exclusives. It's easy to find them used for about 100~$ with a couple of games around, but I'm still waiting on the perfect...

    Faster & Better Than Before!

    Did you just assume my nationality, man?

    Have you ever bought old consoles years after release?

    I'm a huge retrogaming fan, so emulators have been my best friends for basically forever, but obviously that's not the same thing as playing on the real thing. Plus, snagging old relics for good prices is such a nice feeling to get, and playing on the original device makes you feel more...

    Movies into Games

    Yeah, that's probably Batman's strong point. Even compared to similar Ubisoft series, it still manages to feel fresh throughout the entire gameplay. It's hard to get bored of it. I do remember playing a bit of the first Spiderman game on the PS2 and I agree, web slinging was amazing. It was a...

    What moment ruined a perfectly good game?

    Abrupt interruptions suck. They just all happen exactly when you can't afford to leave your console, it's incredible. Sudden freezes that make you lose hours of progress are even worse. As for games themselves... I think the one that disappointed me the most was Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice. The...

    What would your dream controller be like?

    Thank you for making this thread! It's an interesting question, and it got me thinking. When you say "dream controller" you instantly think of weird, futuristic controllers like the Steam Controller or even the Nintendo 64 one (then, a second later, you realize that placing a joystick right on...

    What would your dream controller be like?

    Well, most modern controllers are pretty good on their own, and I find it hard to imagine any room for improvement. Good grip, wireless, rechargeable battery (with good life), responsive buttons and no freaking fingerprints. Non-slippery joysticks, good d-pad (a lot of them nowadays... just...

    Indie games aren't all they're made out to be

    Well said. Indie developers are pushing the boundaries of the gaming industry by reviving genres that would have been otherwise overshadowed by the trending ones (most indie games focus on niches, after all). That's because they're sure to be games made by gamers and, mostly, for gamers, and not...

    Which is/was your nobody-else-like-it game?

    Waitwaitwaitwait, there was a Monster Rancher game on the PSX? How the hell have I learned about this just now?! I freaking loved the anime as a kid. Mh, one of the games I played the most that no one seemed to know or appreciate was Auto Modellista. It was a racing game developed by Capcom with...

    I've been playing "2048 Game", I can't win.

    You're very welcome! Atomas is one of my favourite mobile games, give it a shot ;) And yeah, maybe in a new thread you'd get even more suggestions. I'd be interested in that too, haha.

    Own/Owned An Android Phone?

    I've always had Android phones, except for one Windows Phone whose model I can't even remember (it was really crappy, that much I recall). I currently have a Xiaomi Redmi 4, which is damn good for the price. Handles apps and games pretty nice, although it lags behind a bit on games with many...

    Steam Workshop

    Oh, I know them, I had fun with them! Nice series of maps for sure. The workshop actually made me curious as to how custom maps were made. Some of them were simply made with the game's level editor, which is pretty complete on its own, but scripting events or making custom items is impossible...

    Multiple Screen

    I've heard so much praise for dual monitors setup, and I'd love to try that one day. The closest thing I tried was connecting my PC to the TV (I really needed two screens at once), and it would have been awesome if I didn't have to constantly move my head to look at either monitor. Setups with...

    Most forgettable console for you?

    I'll go with the Game Boy Micro. I've only recently discovered its existance, and it sounds like one of the most unnecessary consoles of all time (who needs and even smaller version of an already portable console? The SP model was already out by then). Plus, it was released a single year before...

    The next big thing? Or are MMO's dying?

    MMO did have a golden age, and it's safe to say they peaked around ten years ago, but the fact that they aren't as advertised as they used to be doesn't necessarily mean they're dead. They're a peculiarity in gaming. They're much more "silent" than other games, but even if you don't see them...

    When did you last upgrade your PC hardware?

    Four years ago, when I bought my new laptop. I barely managed to play anything on the one I had previously, so I had to stick to retrogaming (very retro) and console gaming. I had never known the wonders of modern PC gaming until then, and I can't see myself without some gems (read as: Portal 2)...

    Alien Isolation PC Game

    Yeah, the grim, dark setting would work wonders with a visor. Resident Evil 7 is a good candidate as best horror game on VR right now, but I somewhat doubt it comes even close to the psychological pressure Alien Isolation puts on you (I felt chased down even by just watching videos, dammit)...

    Steam Workshop

    Mel has to be one of the best things to come out of game modding, period. It even got won the "Best Fan Creation" award at The Game Awards 2015 (in the same year as Twitch Plays Dark Souls, mind you). It's so well crafted it's hard to tell it's a fan-made. I heard about the Painting Gun...

    What franchise would you like to see in a Telltale series?

    Nice idea! Rapture already has a well-established lore, so it would mostly be about refining details and admiring the city as it has been shown in two games, but Columbia (from what I've read, I haven't played Infinite yet) didn't get this chance as much as the previous two. It would be amazing...

    I've been playing "2048 Game", I can't win.

    So glad to hear that! Once I got past the 2048 tile I lost interest as well, I only played it casually (it actually became a stress reliever after that, haha). Piano Tiles is nice, although much more reaction time based. Threes is very similar to 2048, but it's basically its clone. If you don't...
