I think one of the first computers I got my hands on still had Windows 95, and I wasn't allowed to install nor buy any games at first because my parents didn't want me to slow it down. All I could do was play the default games. So...yeah, the first PC game I ever played was 3D Pinball. I learned...

The impact the Switch had on the market, in terms of both sales and marketing, has been much stronger than the Wii U's so far, and it's comparable to the Wii's. This alone is a guarantee that Nintendo will support it in the future, so expect a remarkable batch of first-party games by the end of...

I have followed some streams with it, and it does look like fun if you're playing with friends. Personally, I'm not that much of a fan of games where you have to start over every time you die. I like to feel like I'm actually progressing through the game. That's probably why I haven't ever given...

Exactly. Plus, I wouldn't risk to make it frustrating for viewers to distinguish text, icons and such. Yeah, gamers have it easier because their niche is probably the biggest one on YouTube, and once you get big enough you can start promoting games/become a streamer, and those capture devices...

Rarely, if ever. I mostly play single-player games, so I don't need to, but sometimes I like to make a written commentary to my friends with less demanding games, I like to see their reactions or to get some feedbacks from others who have already played that game. I only actually talked to...

Oh, cool, I knew that app but I never actually sat down to try it. Let's give it a try. 646 continuous hours 26 days, 22 hours, 4 minutes And in this time, I could: - Learn Liszt's "La Campanella" (one of the hardest pieces of piano classical music) 5 times (...just five times? Must be one...

That and the 21" curved display on a supposedly portable device. I'm not sure how much better it is to play games, but it's a sight to behold for sure. I wonder how bored someone must be to drop thousands of dollars on a PC just to show off.

Man, that must have been frustrating. I'm always wary of installing files downloaded online in system folders. It happened to Borderlands once, it had something to do with some Nvidia libraries, but luckily I was able to fix that by updating some stuff. I think I would have dropped the game if...

What I've always hated about PC gaming is that it's not as straightforward as console gaming. I always have to mess around with both the game's and the computer's settings before I can start playing a game comfortably, especially when errors about missing .dll files pop up. Plus, if you know...

Yeah, half that price and then maybe you'll have the effective cost of all components. That's probably what they counted on to sell it.

Only? Nope. Biggest? By far. It's always been their most popular series AND also currently the longest-running, so obviously the revenue it generated game by game stacked every year. Even their best-selling app right now is Super Mario Run (followed by Pokémon Go and Fire Emblem Heroes, I...

Yeah, it's so action-packed it's a pleasure to watch. The screen is filled with explosions, rays, glowing beams and flying enemies at every fight, it's hard not to find it satisfying. When I first replayed it after quite some years from the last time I had touched it, the only thing I remembered...

It's also a matter of respect towards your clients. Someone decided to spend 9000$ on one of your products, shouldn't they deserve to get a suitable treatment? Whatever additional cost you could charge for a prolonged warranty is surely already taken into account. Plus, Acer would take quite the...

If it drops, I think you'll have to worry about the floor first :tearsofjoy: I just looked it up and, if I'm not mistaken, it's just a two-year warranty (as opposed to the one-year warranty for all other products). Seems awfully short for such a large price tag.

I think you just get used to it. I still find myself wiggling along the car when playing racing games, but I've always enjoyed it, so I never thought I actively had to do something about it. It's easy to pick up this habit if you've started gaming as a kid, though, and I'm sure a lot of people...

I can't imagine that PC sitting on any table without catching fire, honestly. That's probably what a bored millionaire would buy for their personal videogame museum. I mean, there is no way that thing has more than 2 hours of lifetime on its battery, so it has to sit somewhere. Out of curiosity...

Man, that's freaking insane. How the hell is that guy managing to hold that beast by himself? I mean, it must have stellar specs for sure, but...9000$? No one in their right mind with a reasonable wallet would jump of that. Plus, that trackpad on the right looks pretty uncomfortable.

If we sum the 50-60 retail games I have, the 82 I have on Steam and other 30 games in digital download, probably around 150 games. I have returned around 15 games, I believe, in the past few years to buy new ones, but even then it would be hard to get past the 200 threshold. I probably would if...

If we take for granted the quality of ports and the PC's specs, then yeah, there is no game that will run better on consoles. In practice, though, not all ports run as well (the first Dark Souls, Saints Row 2, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and a good deal of PC ports made by Ubisoft) as on...

I never play right before meals because I know I'll have to drop them soon and I won't be able to enjoy them as much as I wanted. I mostly play in the evening, so I stop playing half an hour or so before I go to bed. If I find some time for an afternoon gaming session, though, I'll only stop...
