What is the most awkward or embarrassing moment of any kind you experienced while playing any game? I would say pretty much anytime I played a BioWare game and there was a sex scene and anyone else was ever present in the room for any reason would probably be the worst for me. Following that, I would say some silly moments where I got super nervous while playing against a friend in Quake III Arena and kept dancing around her in circles and missing at point blank range were the most embarrassing.

The Seekers in Hermaeus Mora's realm of Apocrypha as seen in the Dragonborn expansion of Skyrim are pretty interesting. There's a sence of intelligence, yet primal viciousness about them.

In the the Elder Scrolls universe, there are several types of Daedric monsters that roam the planes of Oblivion for each respective Daedric Prince. These monsters of varying strengths are introduced during different eras in the lore. My personal favorite is the Daedric Titan (they're also referred to as a "Titan") from ESO (Elder Scrolls Online). They were originally created by Molag Bal as an imitation to dragons and were partially constructed from Dragon Bones. Needless, to say they're absolute tanks and they have essence-stealing fire breath and although they're not quite as strong as Dragons, they are a formidable force nonetheless. Just to add, various Daedric Princes have their own version of this monster. Dagon's version is said to be the strongest known variants. I'd like to hear your opinion on your favorite Daedric monster or monsters.

I recently started playing FF7 Remake. I never actually played the original, but I dig it so far. I also played through Titanfall 2's simple player campaign. A lot of people have said and for a reason, it's superb. I admit the protagonist isn't very unique (he is literally a soldier named Jack Cooper, ffs), but the story itself, as military themed shooters go, is cool. Something very Star Wars about it. Not in a "rip off" ku d of a way, more of an homage, something that understands the art. Plus, the dialogue between Jack and the Titan BT-7242 is both heartwarming and funny and really feel a connection yo this character, and trust me it is a character. I picked this game super cheap on PSN a few days ago. I don't know if it still is, but whatever platform you have it's definitely worth having a look despite the likelihood of a dead muliplayer.

I started watching Goliath and it's really good so far. I have also heard about The Crown so I'll check it out. I'll look this one up as well. Btw, has anyone check out the Blood Of Zeus - It's a very good animated series based on Greek mythology with Zeus and the other Gods.

My embarrassing moment would have to be playing the original Gran Turismo as a kid and winning a very tight race, I decided to show off by doing a donut at the finishing line. The only thing is, I didn't actually cross the line and my brother ended up winning. Needless to say, I felt like the biggest goofball that day.

As a long time MMO fan, my criteria for a proper MMO are as follows: Nearly limitless character customization options so that the characters can be literally what you envisioned. The graphics has to be pretty good - Yes, if I'm going to be spending a significant amount of time playing a game, it needs to look polished. Active fanbase - nobody wants to play a dead MMO where you interact with another player once or twice a day. You can pull all kinds of pranks online (as I used to do with my old pals in Age of Wushu. We were fiercely hunted because of our antics). Somewhat friendly players (they don't have to be super friendly. Just don't be douchebags). Also, I like when the other players aren't easily offended by the slightest thing. I mean, nobody likes a snowflake. Microtransactions kept to a minimum. (This goes without saying.)

ExpressVPN and PureVPN top ones IMO. There are a lot of offerings in the space - it's hard to go wrong really...

I'm not gonna get into a huge list because there will be a ton of those. The next thing that will make me interested in another MMO is risk. They need to recreate the old days of Ultima Online and DAOC where you weren't just going through prefabricated situations like cattle for the exact same items and doing everything the same in this safe little bubble. These unforgiving worlds foster tight communities because they have to and that makes things so much more deep and every moment in the game feel that much more significant. Without risk, there are only shallow rewards. MMO's and many online games in general have kind of lost that and I believe it's because they want to cater to everyone including Little Jimmy 12 Year old who will cry and quit because he had to pay for a mistake or couldn't handle a cut-throat world. If you think about it, WoWs gameplay is nothing unique or different, since Vanilla it has evolved but it's nothing that special, mainly just hotkey clicking. However the community it's built is better than any other mmo, I knew people who played it, was in a good guild etc. It's also the reason so many mmos are failing now, they forget that the most important thing about an mmo is in the title, Massive Multiplayer Online whether it's a shooter, racer or RPG, the MMO portion never changes.

You failed at something simple, like a simple mission in GTA like a race and you are the highest level the the others LOL

At the moment, only 2 come to mind. RDR2 and FF8. Initially I wasn't interested in FF8 because at the time I thought it was "too open" of a game for my tastes. Granted this was 1999, and games aren't anywhere near as advanced and open world as they are now. But back 21 years ago, this was one hell of an open world game. RDR2 didn't initially interest me, because I've never really been a big fan of western style games. I'm not into western movies or TV shows. I watched Bonanza with my grandmother when I was a little girl, but that was only because she loved the show. I never complained though. I was just happy to spend time with her. but back to the game, I watched my girl play it a lot, and the more I watched her, the more I got into it. I eventually bought it for both My Xbox One and PS4. I have to say it's much better on the PS4 than Xbox. I do have to say that GameStop lived up to its reputation. I bought it there for $60. We went to Walmart immediately after, and they were selling it for $40.😡

I can't believe I'm admitting this. Just remember I was drunk off my ass, and honestly don't remember doing it. It was apparently around 3:00 in the morning. I know we had hot pockets in the freezer, and apparently thought I was microwaving one. What it turned out to be was that I was microwaving a sponge. I kept commenting on how tough and bland this "hot pocket" was to my girl. She just took out her phone and recorded the whole thing. I would say I didn't need toilet paper for a day or two as the sponge would wipe my as itself as it came out, but that's just gross. This happened like 4 years ago and I've never lived it down. Occasionally when she's microwaving herself a frozen dinner and I ask her to make one for me, she'll bring me a nuked sponge. The saddest part is that I ate the entire thing.

Not sure about franchise reboots but the remasters that "resident evil" has done recently. I am impressed with that. I also hope the silent hill some day gets such type of scary atmosphere and things get better reboot with new story.

If you play the game at your own pace and just take your time and learn then it can be relaxing. Just last year they added even more content, including total overhauls of base building, NPCs, amongst others. It’s so easy to just sit in your ship, land on planets, and just go for a good old explore. If you enable creative mode, you needn’t worry about crafting fuel or harvesting materials if it proves too stressful.

It's hard to say really because majority of the game is just exploring and discovering new worlds and the creatures in it. What is their definition of relaxation in a game? Because No Man's Sky is a pretty laid-back game if I'm being honest(one of the main reasons I haven't attempted to play it. I mean, not killing things is boring).

Goliath, Queens Gambit, and The Crown are all good.

Upgrade capacity is something why many people stick with the PC over anything. Even laptops and consoles are not upgradable after specific point. Console are locked in as it is.
