    Most 'useless' game ever?

    I sort of feel this way about Goat Simulator. The humor of the title is not lost on me. In fact, it was a selling point! I was eager to get myself into all manner of gaoty hijinks as soon as it installed. Trouble is, I quickly discovered the movement was very poorly coded, the world was...

    How to control body movement when playing video games with a game pad/controller?

    I wish I could help, but I can commiserate! My mother would occasionally sit in to play Super Mario Bros. with us when we were kids. Every single time she jumped she would rapidly lift the controller like she was flipping pancakes as though this would somehow boost Mario higher. I'd laugh and...

    Do you think GTA V is too violent?

    It's more that the Grand Theft Auto series has become a sort of focal point for various pro-censorship crowds than anything else. They've routinely used this form of scapegoating to vilify a common enemy so they have a rallying point for their supporters. GTA is far from the first either. Going...

    Why do you think Minecraft has become so popular?

    Expandability helps a lot with that too. It's not as bad as it used to be since they've added new ores and things t find underground but there is a bit of a grind to it. The tedium tends to build over time, which is problematic since anything worth building tend to take a lot of resources...

    How do you take losing when you were young?

    Haha! Yes I suppose I have. He was a legit good player, too. Especially when the N64 rolled around he made sure I got my share of the braggart pie in Goldeneye. I was older and not a little jerk anymore by that point, but I still had it coming and I knew it. He was an artist in that game...

    What's Your Favorite Mount?

    Well if you're a prot warrior in decent end game gear I wouldn't see why not. The trouble you may have is getting past the healing dragon fight. Blizzard changed that part of ICC so that you can just walk past it and continue on your way. The portal achievement is still necessary but if you...

    Do you like to play strategy games?

    I am only aware of the series' title and that it's been around forever. Oddly I've never played a Fire Emblem game of any variety! I've read information about the forthcoming Fire Emblem Warriors and it was like trying to read a language I don't speak. (Much like what I must imagine WoW players...

    The NX won't be as powerful as this gen's machines?

    Well the NX already exists. It's called the Switch and you pretty much hit the nail on the head. It does lag significantly behind modern consoles in terms of raw core component power. That said, they teamed up with Nvidia and essentially made a system on a chip that is surprisingly well suited...

    Games you would like to see..

    No Man's Sky getting a sequel is the worst thing I've heard in a long time! Why wouldn't they just develop the first one so it eventually lives up to the promises of its advertising? I wont lie, when I first saw the promises made I was real excited for that game. I love the idea of a procedural...

    How do you take losing when you were young?

    I was the older brother by three years and my brother was a little small for his age, so a lot of the stereotypical sibling fighting behavior was simply not tolerated at my house. I didn't get into many altercations over gaming but I did behave like a little jerk more times than I had a right...

    Setting up a video gaming centre in the community.

    It wont be possible for us to answer the specific without knowing your budget and where you plan to open. But here are a few things to consider. - You're going to have to focus on high end gaming. Games and systems are expensive per-item, but are ultimately a pretty achievable hobby for anyone...

    Difficulty or Fun?

    It depends on how invested I am in the game. Most titles I just play for fun and only push myself to a certain point. If I really like the game though, especially if it's enough to warrant subsequent play-throughs after having completed the game, I will usually move into more of a hardcore mode...

    How do you take losing when you were young?

    I'm not going to lie; I wasn't the most gracious loser. I was the older brother and my sibling was my primary opponent in video games. We'd play a lot of Mario 3 in which you can suck people into a battle mode to try and steal their turn. The truth is my little bro was pretty awesome at it for...

    Do you like to play strategy games?

    As a rule I do not enjoy strategy games very much. I find it difficult to get into a flow with them because often the consequences of a decision cannot be seen until many moves past the one which sent you down the road to ruin. That makes it hard for me to be able to assess what I did wrong so I...

    Last Game Played?

    I've been playing an awful lot of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe lately. I keep falling into the "one more game" trap and staying up too late. It's got this way of drawing you in. Yoshi is my preferred driver and I find myself gravitating to the Crown Cup racetracks more than any other. They have such a...

    What's Your Favorite Mount?

    Well if you were really lucky you got Invincible, the Lich King's personal mount. I never got that. There was also the bone dragon flying mounts that you could get for finishing the 10 and 25 man versions of Icecrown citadel. There was a black protodrake which I didn't get and sadly is no longer...

    A game theory: Mario is evil

    I think Mario is just a guy who has found himself the unwitting participant in a war he didn't start. He's making the hard choices that must be made to negotiate an extreme set of circumstances. Peach and her court have demonstrated time and again an unwillingness to invest in proper defenses...

    Conditions to play Call of Duty?

    The first thing you're going to want to do is to download a program called "Speccy". It looks at all the stuff in your computer and gives you an easy to understand read out of the exact model of your components, as well as some meaningful information about those components. From here you have...

    Do you think GTA V is too violent?

    Certainly not! The Grand Theft Auto games have always been over the top parodies of action movies, which themselves are pretty over the top when compared with reality most of the time. I'm firmly in the "ethically neutral" camp, philosophically speaking, when it comes to the issue of in-game...

    New WoW Expansion Revealed!

    They're in a precarious position. People don't like it when I say this, but Legion, and the heavily implied Old God/Void Lord expansion that is clearly being set up, is probably this game's swan song. Legion really has a "kitchen sink" feel to it. An inordinate amount of loose ends are suddenly...
