Same, it's also pretty tiny for a mini-fridge. I mean, I could probably get an actual mini-fridge with a freezer and all that with lots more space for around the same price or a little more. This is just for the novelty of it. I don't think it's worth the money. But if it ever goes down in price a lot, I may pick one up finally.

I agree, but there's still a chance that there are tons of SMB3 in new & prestine condition on the market and in the wild. Once more are found, those prices are going to drop considerably. We've already saw it with smb3 and people putting them up for auction. Once more pop up, the price will just continue to drop. Especially for a mass produced game. There are probably collectors holding onto copies, and there's still a big chance there are sealed copies all over the world. With Little Samson, it may not go for much to start off. But with how limited it is, it has a chance to increase in price. But even so, if more copies of that game are found in similar condition, it'll likely result in lower prices. The market is stingy with rarity. You may think one minute that game is worth a ton, but when you start to see more and more show up in auction, in ebay, etc, it starts to look like the game isn't worth as much as they were claiming it to be worth. So you start to see lower listing in the coming months. Essentially, these games are probably not near what they're saying they're worth. It's so hard to pin down a price when these auction houses are inflating prices to make it look like something is worth more. I just think it's a bit shady on their part. I don't believe the games they show are worth as much as they list them for.

Yeah, I didn't see it coming either, but it kinda makes sense right? It is in 3D it seems, so it'll be like any other VR game, but you'll be able to play popular among us levels in vr.

Yup, blockchain and nft nonsense. I never understood how we got here. Nfts are blowing up right now, so I could see more games featuring them. Idk about that last part. You can play these games, nfts and stuff are being added in for guns, skins and other stuff. It shouldn't impede your progress any.

Oh yeah, there hasn't been an X-Files game in years. Bet the last one came out early 2000s, but that is just a guess.

Idk I prefer it a lot more than what we got in GTA V. It's pretty easy to do though. It's more about counters, I forget exactly how, but you need to wait for them to punch at a certain point and the you hit back. Have fun with the achievement where I think you have to fight 4 or 5 taxi drivers at once. I swear there's an achievement like that.

Look at epic games. Fortnite alone proves a game can be successful as free to play, as long as they promote a battlepass and other micro transactions. EA already does it with Apex Legends. Activision does it with COD Warzobe, which is also free to play. Those big time studios are the ones that could easily handle free to play. Look at GTA Online. Yeah sure you gotta buy the base game, but they could easily make GTA online free to play, because they know fans would buy up shark cards and other micro transactions. Free to play doesn't mean it's 100% free either. It's free to usually start, but they entice you to buy character skins, weapons and other items.

That's awesome. I could probably play a couple hours, but by the time I'm done with work I just am not in the mood. And then before work I'm just dreading the time I have until work starts again so I'm rarely in the mood as of late. 😞

I've been trying to play splitgate and that BeamDrive game with the real car physics through steam. But, I'm getting errors that they're both missing files. So that's fun. Other than that I haven't played much this week. Played some more wreckfest as well.

Yeah true. I'm mainly referring to those who don't usually take breaks. Ones who will stay gaming for long hours. Working out is great though, and would probably be the best option overall. But for those who aren't normally working out, getting up for a break is recommended. Idk how well they'd do standing up, but it could be the start of getting healthier too.

Oh of course, many other companies in the gaming industry are just as bad, if not, worse sometimes. The gaming industry has to change a lot to make up for their problems I think.

When I was growing up, I always thought the suit where you can be the statue was the weirdest. At least imo. I know it has a purpose, but I don't think it's all that needed if I can remember correctly.

I don't think i posted this yet. But Metal Gear Rising: Revengence was a game I always wanted to try to get back into. But I couldn't grasp the difficulty and so I gave up fairly early. That's one game I want to try again, but also not because of its difficulty.

We should be getting a new hulk game one of these days. I don't think we had one since the ps2 era. Right? I don't remember if any came out during the 360/ps3 era or last gen. Do you know if any released? I don't count that avengers game.

Well that was a dumb move. The developer of Ready Or Not, most likely lost their publisher because they said they would include a school shooter mission. It was said In a reddit post that has since been removed. For those who don't know, ready or not is a swat tactical game. The objective is not to kill unless you have to. So as you can see, pretty messed up. The publisher team17 didn't say why they dropped the devs, but it's probably due to that.

This is what I pretty much did growing up. For me, gaming was my release from all the problems, the anxiety and fear. If I could sit down and play TMNT 2 the arcade game on the NES with my friends, then that's happiness right there. Growing up, video games have been the escape I needed from a lot of the down times. From the bullying, to my weight issues to just general stress with school and work. I'm glad to see todays youth finding support in gaming. I would also argue that they also find support in the many creators showcasing games on their twitch and youtube channels. We're in a very open society these days, and gamers are finding themselves friends and family through the games. I can totally see video games being a means to help. And I see it more every day with all the support networks that are starting up. From support for mental health, human rights, and so much more. Anyway, experts are saying that gaming can be beneficial for some. You can read more about that here: https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/can-video-games-help-kids-anxiety-mental-health-170958009.html

It really puts life into perspective when a video game is now 24 years old. The classic racer on the PS1, came out on December 23rd, 1997 and the rest is pretty much history. I remember playing this game on a demo disc for a while. My parents, who aren't even gamers, played that same demo quite a bit. It's so weird that it was 24 years ago that I played that demo, or saw my mom and dad playing the same game with their friends. I'm 32 years old now, and it's weird seeing all of these games and movies I enjoyed being around for 20+ years. 1997 though, what a good year.

George R.R. Martin, the creator of the Song of Ice and Fire series (AKA Game of Thrones), is not much of a gamer. But, he did reveal recently that he did do some gaming back in the day. The games he played? Well they were Railroad Tycoon, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Master of Orion. Honestly only am familiar with Railroad Tycoon myself. I know the other two, but don't know enough on them to say anything. But yeah, those are three of the games he played. As you know, he's heavily involved with Elden Ring, so it's kinda cool to know he did do some gaming in the past. But yeah, makes you wonder if he'd be into games today if he tried them out.

When it comes to some games, does drinking make the games more fun? I used to drink a fair amount back when I was younger, but these days not so much. I can't be bothered to drink it half the time, and when I do, I get nasty hangovers, so year, no go for me. But I did enjoy drinking while gaming sometimes. It can heighten the game for some I imagine, but it's not always going to heighten things. For me, I probably got sick playing games drunk. What about you though? Do you ever find that alcohol makes some games more enjoyable?

Wow, I didn't even know they were making an Among Us VR game, did you guys? It actually looks like it'll be a lot of fun. If you have played the original game, you know what it entails. But now in VR, I think it's going to be even crazier. Check out the short trailer:

As in Real Life? Not sure what you mean. Like whay our world will look like if it was a game? If that's the question, I would answer with this. We could be in a post apocalyptic world like fallout. I doubt we'll have zombies, but we'll have sickness, war and other issues. I of course hope that doesn't happen.

I mostly did stuff on the 360 and Xbox one side of things. But I haven't done any betas or anything since. I wouldn't mind trying out some for new gen consoles. But I need the consoles first.

Yeah most of the time the employees are awesome. There is for sure abuse by the management side of the company. They don't usually care for their employees. But it's nice to hear some people are being treated well.

Ah I see. That's understandable. Our voices sound different to our own selves. I am not a fan of my own voice. Sure that counts. I mean you're writing your feelings and thoughts on a game, so it totally counts.

Yeah most of the time I got Toys and clothes. But on those rare Christmases I got lucky and got the consoles I mentioned. Hand me downs aren't bad either. Back then I was willing to wait get certain games. And sometimes my sister would just give me her old nes games.
