This is what it looked like being played. I believe it played pong like games, so to change it up, you'd buy overlays to put over your tv screen. So instead of pong, you can pretend you're playing soccer lol. Back then it was probably revolutionary. Basically it didn't do much. But hey, first console made is still impressive.

The first one wins for me because of nostalgia mostly. I think some would argue the 3rd game was when it kind of hit its prime though. I think it had to do with the advanced gameplay, graphics and the amount of characters the game saw. But I've mostly played the first game and most of the Trilogy set that came out on the PS1.

What's going on with Capcom? Last I heard they're doing pretty good, considering they got a couple new Resident Evil games coming. Konami is still alive as well, albeit they've made dumb decisions in recent memory, but they haven't gone anywhere yet.

Also if I remember correctly, there was a lot of menus and stuff you had to mess with. It felt like too much was being thrown at me, so that was another reason for me. Oh yeah, the box is a huge thing about MGS. I would use the box often in the second and 3rd game to hide from enemies. I think MGS5 added other options, like the ability to put up a carboard standup of yourself to distract enemies. Fun stuff like that.

Covid strikes again, and Comic-Con has been cancelled for physical appearances this year, but there's a chance 2022 will see it back to being in person again. Anyway, virtual is a good alternative. I have a feeling most events in 2021 will be virtual, at least until the world gets their share of the vaccine. Which could be a while. You can read about this news here - IGN

Which Mortal Kombat game do you think would be considered the best? I think it'd be a bit tough to decide, as I can see fans picking various games. I grew up with the first few games, but didn't keep up 100% with the series. I know some fans would say some of the later games are better. What do you think though? Which one is the best of the series?

Have you made a Mario Maker Level that was nearly unbeatable? Of course, you need to be able to complete your own level, but other than that, has anyone else completed the level you made? I have never made my own level yet, as I only briefly played the game myself, but I am curious to know if you guys made any tough levels? If you did, feel free to share your codes or whatever to the levels. Because someone here would be into trying them out. 🙂

Which out of these three racing series do you prefer better? Or any other kart game not mentioned. I know Garfield had a Kart racing game. Hell, you can even include that Burger king kart game that came out years ago. What is your favorite kart series? Maybe it's Mario Kart, Diddy Kong Racing, Crash Team Racing or something else. What would you decide? Personally I played more of Mario Kart than any other Kart themed racing game. What would you pick as your favorite kart game if it's not the main three mentioned?

I mostly had consoles from the NES days up, but I didn't really own anything before the NES. Does anyone here own the first console ever made, The Magnavox Odyssey? All I know about the console, is that it came out in 78 and used overlays on a screen. I watched some videos about it in the past, and for its time it must have been revolutionary. It kind of looks like a cool console. Looks very 70s though.

I couldn't get into the newest MGS. I think the open world change kind of put me off, as previous games were mostly linear story driven games. I played it for a while, but just couldn't push myself to get back to it. As well, I felt like the controls were kind of clunky at times. Snake just didn't feel fun to control for me either. idk what it was.

Oh yeah, you can essentially build a cabinet with just a raspberry pi device. Many people have done it. Some will even use a arcade kit that includes the arcade cabinet, controller, etc. You can get risers that increase its height. Otherwise it's best set up on a table or desk. The risers are kind of pricey though, but you could probably build your own riser too.

I don't think a VPN would get you access though. Because if your school is on a private network for example, a site will stay blocked no matter what IP you use. You'll still be on the schools network/wifi, and any sites blocked via that network will still be blocked. For sites like Netflix it works, because it's not connected within your own network. Changing your IP makes it look like you're in a different area. Unless your school's internet service is different. But I'm pretty sure a VPN won't get you access to blocked sites on a network. Unless I'm wrong, if so, please do correct me.

I imagine they do have some raspberry pi devices and parts for sale on there. I imagine they also sell the kits for cases and such. I wouldn't buy any of the raspberry pi devices, but maybe cases and such would be fine to purchase.

You make a good point. Since it doesn't require physical ability, anyone can do it. I've seen kids who play some games better than most. I feel like they would have started an all women league at some point. Kind of surprised it hasn't happened yet. Women haven't had it easy in the gaming world, so I could see them trying to get their own thing going away from men. But I'm all for men and women competing against each other.

Yeah, I heard Konami is interested in getting other studios to produce Silent Hill, and other Konami properties. There's a topic about this here on the forums - Konami Games losses are so bad that they're open to other studios making MGS, Silent Hill Etc. Games Oh yeah. I don't think he even had anything to do with Team Silent. Kojima didn't get involved until PT came around if I remember correctly. I think there was a time where they had him help with something, but I might be wrong on that. But yeah, Kojima would be awesome for a Silent Hill game, but I don't see it happening.

Yeah, it's a limited group of games and products that they're no longer producing after March 31st. They won't even be up on the eshop anymore. They announced last year when they came out with the products/games that they were cutting it off on that date, and it seems they're still planning on doing that. I think people were hoping Nintendo would see that fans wanted these games and products, but maybe it wasn't enough. It just feels like they're going to give scalpers more options. Just wait, that Mario Game & Watch is going to blow up in price because of this. It's like Nintendo never learns.

I could have sworn they made a VR version, but I guess I was wrong. Well, here's hoping they do one of these days. Horror games are a given for sure. I think most should lol. It would heighten the scare factor by a lot I imagine. Dying Light would be cool. Not sure about Call of Duty though, as I imagine it would be kind of tough in VR. Moreso towards the motion of the game, as it's more fast paced and I don't see that being a good fit with VR. Yeah, I feel VR has its limitations, and something like COD for example would be a bit tough to play in VR. I think slower paced experiences are better for VR. But then again, I've yet to try a VR headset myself, so I can't full on judge it yet.

Here's hoping the game turns out to be good. I remember hearing Star Trek Online was pretty bad, but I think it was one of their first works if I remember correctly. But I could be wrong on that. Anyway, I'm interested in seeing how this one turns out. Just hope it's not a repeat of that Colonial Marines game lol.

I hope it turns out to be a good move for them. With more funding behind them, I hope they produce something great after Fall Guys. I don't see Fall Guys being that popular for much longer. But maybe they have something new in store for us soon.

What are your thoughts on the game Valheim? I've been seeing it everywhere lately and I was curious to know if it's something worth getting into? I saw a friend of mine play it, and it looks like a lot of fun, but I'm still not sold on it yet. It's currently $20 on early access. I might wait a bit before getting it, but I think I may eventually. Trailer below.

If you've ever played GTA V, you know the game is a massive slog to load the game world up, and even more so when it comes to booting up the online mode. Why is it that it takes so long for GTA V to load? The reason it takes so long to load, is due to the amount of products you can buy in game. As each item has a unique number associated with it. Here's exactly why it loads so slowly: From GTA Boom So essentially, he stopped it from starting the list over each time, and instead move it to the next in the list as it probably should. He was able to get it down from a 6 min + load time to just a bit over a minute. He informed Rockstar and forwarded the details to them. So it's now up to them to implement their own patch. You can choose to use the patch yourself, but do so at your own risk.

Well I didn't see this coming, but I guess it makes sense. Epic Games has purchased up Fall Guys dev team Mediatonic. The good news though, is that Fall Guys is still coming to the Nintendo Switch as planned. But no news on whether future content from Mediatonic would be on other consoles. But, I could see it happening considering their top game is Fortnite and that's on literally everything these days. Source - Nintendo Link

Source - PlayStation Blog Kind of bad news, the PlayStation Store is removing the options to buy and rent movies and tv shows. It's probably due to the many streaming platforms out there already and other places where you can buy/rent movies/tv shows. I know Xbox sells/rents out movies and tv shows, but I don't think they would drop it. This way their focus is on games too, which I think is better. We have more than enough options for our movies and tv needs. And any media you did buy on the PS4/PS5 up until August 31st 2021 will still be accessible in your account.

Looks like we're getting another Aliens game, and this time it's in the style of Left 4 Dead, but has 3 player co-op instead. I wish these games allowed for co-op from 2-4 players, but I'll take 3 I suppose. Anyway, check the trailer out below and share your thoughts.

Ugh, Nintendo, please don't. Remember when they said that some of their games and products will only be available up until March 31st, well they're taking that very seriously and are still planning to take the products off the market. What products am I speaking of. They are below. You can read more about it here - Nintendo Life Do you think they will keep producing these products? I really wanted that game and watch handheld, but I don't feel like shelling out $50, and now if they stop making them, it's only going to go up in price. 😞
