Not an expert, and I'm sure there's people here more competent than me, but I might as well drop my two cents. I think you should start easy by focusing on front-end development, which basically focuses on web design and anything that involves what you see on a website. HTML, CSS and JS (even...

I've never played any FPS games on my PS2, but I tried a couple on the PS3/Xbox 360 on my friends' consoles or in stores. Maybe the console versions are balanced to make up for the inevitable slower aiming, or maybe it was just due to the easiness of the early levels, but I didn't feel the...

I had some vague memories about it, but now that I've looked it up his smug face has come back to me. He's so hilarious, though, seeing him now. Yeah, they all shared a similar pattern, but the tracks were pretty different from each other, so the way they were placed and how you had to interact...

That's also true. It's certainly a kid-friendly game from the looks of it, even though there are more mature themes developed throughout the other paths, but a younger audience leads to this annoying trend. It's truly a pity for such a nice game to be overshadowed by its fanbase's hostility.

I've been elbows deep into a Metroid phase for the past two weeks by now. I replayed Zero Mission and I'm now currently replaying Super Metroid for the umpteenth time. I'm unsure whether to go with Metroid Prime next or to finally get around to finish some more sanctuaries on Breath of the Wild...

Hard bosses with tight action windows are the worst. Figuring out their attack patterns goes from fun to enraging pretty quickly, especially when they wash you over with bullets or lasers or whatever they're throwing at you. I still have nightmares from Ornstein and Smough's boss battle in Dark...

Yeah, long story modes allow for better world development and more lore insight. Plus, it's easier to grow attached to the characters and this makes events related to them more impactful (including deaths, of course). It's easier to get engaged with long stories. On the other hand, though, it's...

I used to play them for much more time, but nowadays I only play them for an hour, tops (combined). Most times I just think "Wow, I could be doing productive stuff right now", so I drop the phone and proceed to engage in more satisfying activities that can contribute to personal growth, such as...

Well, we haven't played together ever since my brother moved out, but back then we always did. I was young, so anything that involved playing was fun to me, but he is fairly older than me, and even then he still found time to play with me. At first, I watched him play first because I was too...

I also played The Sims/The Sims 2 on my PS2, and the controls were pretty accurate, you just moved around the cursor with the analog stick. It normally moved awfully slow, but you could speed it up (if I remember correctly, it's been a lot of time) to be quicker. Scrolling through menus did take...

I mostly play with keyboard + mouse to save me the hassle of setting the controller properly (not all games can handle it well), unless I run into glaring complications while using them, like with Dark Souls. Of course, as plenty of people have pointed out, some game genres are unplayable with...

I think "The Lost Observer" would be quite appropriate. I like to lose myself in details and look around to watch and analyze the world the game is set it. However, I have a remarkably bad sense of direction, so I always end up wandering desperately looking for a way out. I usually end up...

That's it. Computers have the upper hand over consoles (hardware-wise) because of the freedom you're allowed to have. If you take that away, it's hard to tell the difference between the two. You don't get to decide the OS, nor the hardware configuration and I'm pretty sure you can't change...

It seems like I've followed the opposite trend here by starting with the first two games in the series (which I loved, by the way). I bought them together when they put the Bioshock 1+2 bundle on sale on Steam, and ever since then I never got around to buy Infinite. It seems the reception for...

It's hard to pick just one game, but I'll go with Earthbound. I can't decide what game is "the best one", so I went with the one that felt the most unique to me. Super Metroid, Mega Man X, Chrono Trigger and A Link to the Past are all up there, though. They were revolutionary for the gaming...

That's true on so many levels. I definitely had a weakness towards impulsive purchases when I was younger, due to both your typical deal rush (Steam still had flash and daily deals during the Summer/Winter Sales) and the social pressure of keeping up with the latest trends and games to play with...

It's relaxing, it's an escape from the real world and all its troubles, and it's a good way to feel like I'm achieving something. It's easy to feel rewarded with games, and it's up to you to decide how much effort you have to put in it to achieve said feeling. I just like to dig into the...

This. The Wii itself isn't for hardcore gamers, but it had some hardcore games (definition may vary). I mean, I wouldn't exactly call games like Metroid Prime Trilogy, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Super Mario Galaxy 1/2, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Okami, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and...

Oh, that's a great suggestion. It would also be easier to introduce thanks to the comics or the TV series, and it would explain to them the concept of a franchise with multiple nuances. I'm not very familiar with the Telltale series, but I know that a few of them require a bit of knowledge about...

The Nintendo fan in me is pleased with this year's conference. I can't deny I jumped from my seat when they announced Metroid Prime 4, even though they didn't show anything (the hype is strong in this one), and when they revealed out of nowhere that they had a Metroid II remake ready to launch...
