    Alienware Laptops

    Mouses (mice?) are kind of a different deal, precision, ergonomics and response time can all make the price float quite a bit: however, that doesn't justify Razer's overpricing. I bet that half the price is due to their brand and nothing else. Anything past the ~50$ threshold is just pumped up...

    What eSports do you watch?

    So you've heard the tale of Falcomaster3000 too, I see. The true veni, vidi, vici of our days. What a day that was. That's probably one of the highlights of SSB's community in the past few years, right next to Reggie's match against Hungrybox (spoiler: he didn't kick his ass).

    How do you choose your games?

    Well, there is nothing inherently wrong with them, but it's a very popular genre and the store has been flooded with Early Access games of the likes (really alike). Far Cry 3 is a big exception I forgot to mention. I guess a lot of survival FPSs have taken inspiration from it, alongside the...

    Generic Keyboards or Mechanical Keyboards

    If you don't wear out your keyboard too much, sure. I'm having a hard time imagining most cheap keyboards to last longer than 3 years, honestly, because accidents happen and a lot of things could go wrong before it stops working. The letter stickers wear out, crumbs accumulate below the keys...

    What for you is the cutest character?

    Pokemon gives everyone a hard time, if it has come down to choosing the cutest character: yes, Piplup, I'm looking at you with my loveliest face. LoL's Poro is cute. Jack Frost is even cuter, but he's got a sense of humour, so bonus points. The ChuChus from Wind Waker are adorable. Ugh, there...

    Do you pay for games?

    Nope, not even once. Mobile games are easy enough on their own, no need to make them even easier with in-app purchases (was Rayman Jungle Run that game that offered a purchase to unlock all levels from the get-go?). Plus, the sole thought gives me shivers, considering that I could use the same...

    What is your favorite weapon across all FPS games?

    Portal's Gravity Gun is a no-brainer, the concept, the design, the actual way it works...it's straight up perfect. I also have a thing for Metroid Prime's Arm Cannon, but I guess that's due to how much I love the series. I still find it much more recognizable and memorable than any other weapon...

    What eSports do you watch?

    I don't like competitive games much, so I don't care about watching others playing it nor about observing how they play to improve myself. However, I did follow a couple of Smash tournaments to follow the community's excitement, and it was pretty fun, though. Oh, I also followed the tournaments...

    Generic Keyboards or Mechanical Keyboards

    It depends on what use you'll make of them. Writers and rhythm games' players will probably make the most out of the improved feedback and lifespan, but as for normal users, including most gamers, I don't think it makes a difference. The noise they make is satisfying as hell, I'll give you that...

    Is there a genre that you miss

    You and me both, friend, you and me both. I really had my hopes up with Mighty No.9, but my dreams have crashed and burned after its release. I'm not sure what I miss the most about that kind of platform games, though. I think it's the minimalistic gameplay and the difficulty, it was all about...

    How do you choose your games?

    I'm not a huge fan of FPS games either, but there are some open-world (well, open enough, at least) FPSs out there. Borderlands is the first to come to mind (it has a...very particular style), it's hilarious and it's got nice RPG elements, so it has a decent gameplay depth; however, if you're a...

    What Series Do You Think Would Make a Good MMO?

    Harry Potter would definitely be amazing. I'm pretty sure there are some multiplayer roleplay servers on Garry's Mod that do just that, but having a game to deal just with that would be a whole different story. It's weird they haven't thought about it. As for ASOIAF, I think that it would need a...

    Alienware Laptops

    But that glowing keyboard is totally worth the money! /s Yeah, I agree, they are ridiculously overpriced for what they offer. I mean, they do have decent specs, but their quality is nowhere near what you'd expect from a rig that expensive. The build quality is not even that excellent, I've read...

    How much money?

    Damn, making an esteem is tough, now that I think about it. I've surely gone past the 1500$ bar through all these years, but I can't be any more precise. Most money comes from the consoles themselves, not counting my laptop (well, I didn't buy it exclusively for gaming), otherwise I'd get past...

    Do you consider mobile games to be "gaming?"

    They are games, so mobile gaming is a thing. However, its features are very different from its other competitors. Most mobile games are easy to play and require little to no dedication, except for those games like Clash of Clans that require steadiness (but we're still talking about short time...

    What's your favorite Smash Bros game?

    The Subspace Emissary mode on Brawl was awesome. The cutscenes still manage to make me crack a smile after all this time. It was just the perfect solution to an issue most fighting games have: single player modes. However, contentwise, Smash for Wii U/3DS blows all other games out of the water...

    How do you choose your games?

    If I've got my eyes on a specific game, the series it belongs to and its software house play a huge role in my final decision. Nowadays It's hard to tell a game's quality from trailers and reviews only, given how misleading they can both be, so I try to judge from experience as much as possible...

    WHY do you game?

    I feel ya. That isolation I was talking about is possible exactly thanks to this level of immersion in a game. Good games are tough cookies to deal with, especially open-world ones (I'm still playing Breath of the Wild because of it, be damned my completionist spirit). After I finish a game, I...

    Where do you buy games?

    Yeah, that's another upside, too. I've found cartridges to be less exposed to usage damages, but disks can easily get scratched (fortunately, none of my PSX/PS2 games have stopped working, but some of them sporadically glitch out). I just love those physical PC games that provide both an...

    Where do you buy games?

    Yeah, digital delivery is a blessing for end users, and Steam's refund policy is a great weapon against some developers' misleading marketing and false promises boosted by hype. Still, I find a sort of dirty pleasure in looking at physical games. Seeing my collection grow and having a box to...
