    How do you choose your games?

    The game looks so laid-back it's unsettling. It is pretty short, but it's surely worth the experience. There aren't many other games with a similar atmosphere AND similar gameplay, I'm afraid. The Stanley Parable is pretty close in terms of player engagement, there's no active fighting or...

    How possessive are you for your games?

    Extremely possessive. I'm emotionally attached to every single disk and cartridge I own, I have poured hours of my life into them and I'm surely not giving them away easily. I don't trade them in, and I've only borrowed them just a few times (and they were really close friends, so I knew I could...

    How do you choose your games?

    Oh, I get what you're talking about, that makes me feel kind of sick, too (although not sick enough to have to take pauses or to stop playing altogether). As for VR, what I understood is that some models (such as the first Oculus Rift) had that same delay you're talking about, but its effect is...

    At what age did you get your first console/PC?

    Functionality-wise, this is most certainly the case, camera issues are the most annoying to deal with. However, as inconvenient as it could be, you could feel the game was really well designed to work with the old camera system. You can see zombies approaching from afar, and that pushed you to...

    Favorite Game Mod?

    Oh god, I knew about that mod, but that's my first time watching this video. How the heck did I live all this time without it? Yeah, I think I saw a few, although I'm not a huge follower. I do remember about a mod that added Splatoon guns and...one that replaced horses with ponies. From MLP. If...

    How do you choose your games?

    Wow, is it really that bad? I first learned about motion sickness after watching some videos about virtual reality, but I didn't know some people experienced it with standard first-person visual games, too. Is it because of the wobbling? Or is it due to the sudden camera movements? Whatever it...

    At what age did you get your first console/PC?

    I generally prefer to play on the original console, but it's basically the same with a controller. Plus, e also have an option to use high-res texture and overall improved graphics, if I'm not wrong, so that's great. And yeah, I imagine it must have been easier to play. Well, RE has never been...

    Alienware Laptops

    Oh, and let's not forget about headsets. Screw text chats, the only reason why I can't seem to get my team work right (but it's their fault anyway) is because these headphones aren't comfortable enough! They'll hear me better after I buy this 150$ pair of mediocre headphones with a subpar...

    How do you choose your games?

    Yeah, I heard about that one. I didn't play myself, I only watched a few walkthroughs and it does seem relaxing, indeed. Right now I've put PC games on hold, despite my overwhelming backlog (in addition, I started Valkyria Chronicles and XCOM: Enemy Unknown and then dropped them for no...

    Are games better with or without clans?

    I strongly agree. In the little experience I've had with MMORPGs, clans tend to be rather large, and you're assured to get at least a couple of unpleasant comrades in such mixed bags. Not to mention that beginners are usually looked down upon and it's easy to find old players who will boast...

    Alienware Laptops

    Yeah, that sounds like a more plausible ratio. I guess it's also about that sort of aura that surrounds any product labelled as "made for gaming" that makes people think that those mouses/keyboards will make them magically better at any game they play. It's not my incompetence and my lack of...

    At what age did you get your first console/PC?

    God, the same exact thing happened to me, even the same game (I guess it was more popular than the previous two, for some reason), except it was my father playing it. I remember screaming like a little girl the first time the Nemesis appeared, and images of some of those damn jumpscares are...

    How do you choose your games?

    Ooh, great choices. Portal 1 and 2 are both godly, they're some of the most brilliant puzzle games of all time out there. Their only downside is that they're both pretty short, but they really make the most out of every gimmick, so that was probably for the best. Still, on Portal 2 you can play...

    Favorite Game Mod?

    Just look at them, they look so freakin'...fluffy. And yeah, Skyrim's truly a game for everyone. You want the game to be harder? Sure thing. You don't like this thing? Removal/replacement mods are on their way. You want to dual wield lightsaber while slaying a dragon? Why not! As absurd as some...

    Your favourite Android game?

    I remember being addicted to The Respawnables some time ago (a sort of Team Fortress clone, but still very fun). Hungry Shark Evolution is fun to play on the go and getting all upgrades takes time, but it really pays off. I don't know how good the Android client is, but if you like card games...

    Favorite Game Mod?

    Yup, they are replaced by bears (named as "Invading Bears" in the mod). It...doesn't make much sense, unless I'm missing something lorewise, but as long as it works it's fine by me. Spider webs and eggs are also removed and replaced by other stuff (honey. A lot of honey). Bosses are replaced too...

    Favorite Game Mod?

    I know it sounds weird to mention this out of all mods, but it really can't be helped, ahahah. I can only handle it if I'm around other people or if I'm playing with headphones off and on a distant screen, and none of these requirements are met when I'm playing in front of a PC. Those damned...

    At what age did you get your first console/PC?

    I think I was 3 or 4 when I started watching my brother playing on the NES. I was scared as hell to play at first because he always looked so frustrated when he lost, but once I found the courage to take the controller myself I had a blast with Super Mario and Mega Man 2. The first time I had a...

    Favorite Game Mod?

    I did install a few mods for new weapons/equipment for Skyrim and Fallout 3, and they're nice and fun, but none of them really struck me (although I've heard that huge Skyrim expansion has been released, I should give it a shot). However, there's no way around the fact that I would have stopped...

    Console of Choice?

    PC. I've never had a PS3/Xbox, so I missed out on quite some stuff, but I still had a blast and I don't regret it at all. However, a special mention has to go to the 3DS. Amazing handheld console with incredible support and an endless game library, including all the Virtual Console titles. I...
