Lately, I've been in a bit of a gaming funk. I can't remember the last time that I truly enjoyed a video game. Nothing seems to hold my attention. I'm finding more pleasure in playing small-biz video games, such as "Emily is Away, too." This is a weird experience for me because I generally love...

Oh man, just reading this gave me anxiety. I have dealt with low battery scenarios before. I tend to forget to plug in my laptop while playing video games. When this happens, I'm usually playing an MMO of some sort. It's always just my luck. I usually wait until I'm not in an intense situation...

I was talking about this with a friend the other day. I usually stay away from any sort of presales. I never purchase a game on it's initial release date. I can't bring myself to pay full price, when I know the prices are going to drop within the coming months. I always wait for a game's price...

My favorite free-to-play game, hands down, is Dota 2. They took a simple tower defense game and made it something that people want to continuously come back to. If a game can manage to keep me interested throughout a 45-60 minute match, they are doing something right. I love that every character...

Currently, I am using Firefox. Firefox used to be my favorite browser, but it has it's flaws. It tends to freeze YouTube videos and shut down unexpectedly. I tried using Chrome and it was great, but then it started doing the same things that FireFox does. I'm actively searching for a new...

I miss playing tabletop games with my family and friends. My aunt actually has something called "homecon" take place at her house every year. Her family and friends come over to have three nights of video games and board games. The whole event is focused on gaming. If you are in the house, you...

It has definitely been a while since I last lost sleep over a video game. I honestly think that the last game I lost sleep over was Mafia II. I stayed up all night in order to finish that game. The storyline captivated me and kept me wanting more. I wasn't playing for the actual gameplay, but to...

I love that you mentioned the Jumpstart games! It has been years since I picked up a Jumpstart game, but I always thought it would be awesome to revisit. My greatest fear is revisiting the game and it ruining my childhood memories. As a child you perceive everything differently, so revisiting...

I cannot remember the last time I purchased a video game through a retail store. All of my games are bought through digital downloading. I play video games on PC and majority of my games are bought through Steam. I wouldn't mind buying video games through a retail vendor, but my laptop does not...

Prior to opening this thread, the first game that came to my head was "No Man's Sky." The game is so incredibly unique. The concept is brilliant and I think it will add a new flare to the world of gaming. We've seen games like this before, but not to this extent. The fact that the creator is...

I seriously thought that I was the only person that felt this way. I used to be completely frustrated while playing console games. I do not like analog sticks at all. One of the main reasons I found PC games better was due to having more control over my characters while playing. I feel like I...

The only gaming gear I would consider buying is the rolling chairs for consoles. I have sat in a "gaming chair" a few times and they are incredibly comfortable. I might consider purchasing a keyboard, but I use a laptop, so it's hard for me to really consider that. I find the keyboards to be...

I grew up with the pokemon games and adored them. When I look back on my childhood, most of my time was spent sitting on the floor playing pokemon and trying to get through the forests. I remember the frustrations that came with the game, but how incredibly fun it was. I am a huge pokemon fan...

Pokemon Red was my favorite Gameboy game from my childhood. I played the living hell out of that game. I think it's my favorite to date because I got so much use out of it. I will never forget all of the releases that came with the pokemon series- such as the links to trade pokemon, etc. Some of...

The only game on PC that I play regularly is Dota 2. I can't seem to tire of the game. I like that every single match is different. There are a different set of people and you can choose a completely different character. The players can make it frustrating to play at times, but that's the...

Table Top gaming is a huge deal in my family. My uncle is somewhat of a board game enthusiast and has a really intense game collection...we're talking 800+ board games. Here is a photo of his collection when they first moved in, not completely unpacked: It's kind of crazy. My favorite table...

I have never been a big fan of mobile gaming, but one game that sticks out to me is "Silent Age." It is easily one of my favorite mobile games, if not one of my favorite video games in general. I loved everything about it. I'm not usually one for point and click adventures, but this one in...

I haven't created my own game, but I always wanted to. I find it pretty fascinating. When I was in college, there was a video-game-development class that I used to pass. Everyone in the classroom was working on their own game style and I could have just sat and watched for hours. The amount of...

Cheating is irritating. I have had a few hackers ruin my games before. It's a bummer when you're really into what you're doing and someone comes in to ruin it. Things really do need to be monitored more closely so that we can prevent cheating. Bans need to be enforced more often.

I have to go with N64. My childhood revolved around that console and I never tired of it. I feel like there were a few select games that tied into the console so well, that it's hard to forget the memories. A lot of my time was spent with family during the holidays. I got a lot of good use out...
