The team at Vodeo Games decided to start their own union, and I think it's about time. The gaming industry is full of abuse from big time companies, and honestly it's time that more developers and producers be able to unionize to better protect themselves. Now we just need to see other studios take the initiative and start their own unions.

The developers of the new Stalker 2, will support NFT options via their new Stalker Metaverse. The blockchain will allow gamers to own a part of the game. It'll give them access to unique items in game. As well, it sounds like some people who invest in these NFTs, will be able to become NPCs in game. One lucky person will become one of the metahumans in game, that you can face off against. Part of it sounds cool, but I still feel weirded out by NFTs yet. What do you guys think? Are all these NFT things popping up games turning you away from some games?

Ooh, this one looks like a lot of fun. It looks like a racing game with battle mechanics. Think Twisted Metal but your car can also turns into a boat and plane. So it's got a lot going for it. It's coming to Xbox One, Series S/X, PS4/PS5, & Nintendo Switch. Check the trailer below.

What are some of your favorite fighting styles in video games? I like anything that is easy to get invested in, so really any fighting style that works. But anything that revolves kungfu, MMA in general, pro wrestling, etc. What are some of your favorite fighting styles in games? Any in particular you are a pro at in real life?

I know right? I was thinking about doing it too. I should have started when I was a kid. It would have been fun to re-read my tastes as a kid and teen. Maybe I will get my future kids to do that. Could be fun to see their thoughts on some of the classics.

This is cool. I didn't know you could age in this game. Looks like you can age from 20-75. Not sure if you can get older, but that's what the video showcases below. I wish more games did this.

I did not see that coming, but honestly I'm so for it. Just hope they do the game justice and we don't get another story like GTA Trilogy remastered. It doesn't look like they show any footage for the remastered game, but it doesn't look to be a remake or reboot. I hope they don't ruin it.

If you could only take one or two games to the grave with you, or all the games you like, what games would you take with you and why? For me, I think it'd be the basics, Super Mario Bros. 3, Metal gear Solid 3, WWE Smackdown here comes the pain and so much more. What games would you take to your grave?

Do you like to keep a journal or diary discussing all the games you like to play? Along with your feelings on them and your views? I have never done this myself, but I bet there are people who actually do. Would you keep a journal of all the games you beat, and their reviews, ratings and other such things too?

It's nice to see an alternative to be honest. There are a lot of games out there that can easily help with anxiety and depression. But I do see a lot of people getting angry with some games, and in turn making their anger worse or stress even worse.

These are my current specs, at least from what I can find: my graphics card is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER yeah, I heard older cards can handle a lot, just gotta make sure the PC is in good working order. I was thinking about upgrading my old PC to put a graphics card, but idk how well it would have done. So instead I upgraded to a better PC. 🙂

Same here, I also check out Twitch from time to time. Do you ever check out any Twitch streams? A while back I was watching a lot of RDR2 vids on YouTube. Not sure why. I wasn't even playing it at the time, but it did kinda interest me in playing the game again, and I haven't played it in quite some time now. I might have to change that soon.

Nice, I'll check them out. iRacing sounds familiar, but I don't think I have ever tried it yet. Thanks for sharing! 🙂 Yeah, not a fan of racing in real life. I like some racing games, but was never too big into F1, Nascar or racing in general. But in game form I am into a lot more. I even enjoy some hunting games/sims.

Yeah I think that'd be a good idea too, especially with how many small and independent studios there are out there. I think some studios and companies do that anyway with bigger companies, but I can see it being a problem for them too. Amazon is not a company I 100% respect, they have made a lot of mistakes in recent years and it's hard to trust them, so I can see some studios not even wanting to work with them.

Yeah that's the sad truth. Sucks, because there's so many games that I'd love to see backwards compatible on the PS4/5. I just wish they could make it where the system just plays the game. They don't have to release it digitally. But of course, Sony would want to make cash on those games instead, so they'd either license them again or let them die out.

Most of my disc based games are just in their standard case. As for my cart based games, they are loose. I want to get cases for each of them. I had a bunch of plastic cases for them, but didn't have enough for all of them. For better storage I just took them out and placed them on a shelf. I might install glass over the games at some point. I want to build a big shelf with a bunch of games, and make glass doors/screens for it. But yeah, I may need to buy plastic cases for them all for the time being.

Well I didn't see this coming, but I guess it makes sense he'd jump into more gaming adventures. Supposedly he wanted to make his own battle royale game. No news if that will still happen, but it looks like Midnight Society is the new studio name he went with. He co-founded the studio with Robert Bowling, Quinn DelHoyo, and Summit Gupta. So not a scrub studio it seems. Will they succeed as a studio? You can read more about this news here - https://www.looper.com/707486/everything-we-know-about-dr-disrespects-new-game-studio/

I guess Xbox can laugh about their mistakes and blunders, as they just announced a new poster featuring the Red Ring of Death, or RROD for those. I suffered my fair share of these Red rings, as I had to send my console in 5 times. Not sure I am into paying $25 for a poster like that. The reason they released this, is because they're making a six-part documentary called Power On about the Xbox on its 20 year anniversary. I guess there will be an episode for the RROD itself, so that may be why there's a poster for it. Would you buy this? I don't think so. https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2021/12/microsoft-will-sell-you-a-25-poster-to-celebrate-a-major-xbox-hardware-failure/

With the apps on your phone, do you ever pay for the full game to get rid of ads and other annoying popups? I have only done so once, and that was a with a football game on mobile. I also bought some players in game. But, do you ever feel the need to pay to get rid of the ads in most paid for apps and games?

What were some gaming challenges, bosses or enemies you could never seem to prepare for? I'd say anything in Dark Souls for me. I don't know how many times I was ill-prepared when it came to fighting a boss or certain enemy. It's partly why I don't play Dark Souls much. Other than that, maybe the Colossus' in Shadow of the Colossus. They were never easy to prepare for, at least for me. What about you?

The new PS5 branded custom covers are coming soon, and it made me wonder if anyone will buy a couple to modify with their own art work. Does anyone have any interest in modifying their own PS5 covers? What kind of artwork do you plan to put on it? Any fun ideas in mind?

Would it be wise to one day get all of my games put into dust covers? Even disc based games with plastic cases? Reason why I ask, is because even in a jewel case or a plastic DVD style case, the case also starts to discolor or if you're dealing with dust, it can get dirty and sometimes greasy depending on the humidity in the area of storage. I figure adding that extra barrier, will help protect even disc based games.

At some point, video games will degrade over time and be lost to time. It is inevitable, which is why I am for game preservation for older and retro games. Especially if the device you can play them on, is no longer available. And if the copyright is lost, those games become part of the public domain, which means that sites like the way back machine, who have sections for dos games, can submit them legally. We'll never see games from Nintendo themselves, being added to any game preservation, because they already did that when they put their games out digitally. But, there are other studios that made games back then, and it's possible some of those games could hit the public domain one day. I just hope that all video games get preserved somehow, so that we never lose the games we all grew up playing.

Game Pass has been an ever growing bag of brilliance and I am so happy to have a service like it. Because, it means I don't have to spend a ton for video games, as I can get a ton of them for a smaller fee. Anyway, it's not about why I love Game Pass, but this topic is about what is expected to arrive this mid December, which is pretty much right now. What new additions you say? Here are just a few: Mortal Kombat 11 Lake Race with Ryan Transformers: Battlegrounds The rest of the list can be viewed at the article here - https://www.windowscentral.com/here-are-surprise-games-coming-game-pass-middle-december All of these games are releasing on Game Pass on the 16th.

What are some games that have as realistic as possible guns? Like they are realistic in how they work, how you can alter them in games, how they shoot and so on. Attachments as well. I know a lot of FPS games try to be realistic, but the shooting and stuff probably is far from what it's like in real life. Anyway, I know there was some games where you could take apart your weapons and change around parts. What games do that the best?
