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. 😞

What are your thoughts or opinions about games playing ads in game? Or maybe putting up ads in the game world even? I don't much mind a static ad in a world that can be passed by, but if it's an ad in a menu it's kind of annoying, but if it forces a timed ad on you, that's a no no imo. I would understand if it's a free to play game, but if it's anything that you already paid for, you should never be stuck waiting behind an ad. What do you guys think? I wouldn't mind if the ad was creative and out of the way, or isn't forced down your throat.

As I'm sure you know, WWE 2K21 didn't happen, it was cancelled before it even started. After the disaster that was WWE 2K20, 2K games took a break on the franchise and I believe they hired another team to tackle it for them. I got 2K20 for like $10 on a steam sale, and it's still pretty bugged. Instead of 2K21 this year, we got WWE Battlegrounds, a mediocre fighting game. And I have no clue what 2K Game's plans are for the next WWE wrestling game. I hope they make a quality wrestling game in 2022 or 2023 or whenever they get back to it. I want good wrestling games again. 😞 I'm waiting for the AEW game now, but I'm not holding my breath on that one.

I know there are many female teams playing esports, but are there any leagues just for women? I imagine by now there would be some kind of woman only league. And I'd love to see that. All I ever hear about are the male esports players, with an occasional mention of women players here and there. I'd like to hear more about the female esports players out there. I'm not familiar with most esports stars out there, but who would you say is the best female pro gamer out there in the esports world today?

Do you know of the Madden Curse? It was this urban legend, that whoever was on the cover of the new Madden that year, would either get injured and be out the rest of the year, or they would suffer a poor performance throughout the whole season. Many players who landed on the cover did get injured after, but there were many other players who faced no issues. It was just random. But of course, when you're playing a contact sport like Football, you can get injured. Teams are plagued with injuries each year. It's sadly part of the game. I just think it was random chance that it went that way. Anyway, did you ever believe in the Madden Curse? I never believed it, but it is crazy how so many players got injured after being on the cover. I think the last 5 years or so, most of the players were unschathed. What did you think of the Madden Curse?

I mean, it would add a lot to Xbox Ultimate, especially if it's included at no additional cost. It would be kind of a win win. But, I don't see something like that happening. If they do try it, they'd add tiers where you'd pay more to get movies and tv or something like that.

Did the PS2 even support drives that size? I always thought it was a small drive that would only work, but I could be wrong.

Yeah, it seems a lot has been coming out about Google and their blunders with Stadia. Because it's clear they have no clue what they're doing anymore. I am honestly surprised Stadia has lasted this long.

That's awesome! I've been wanting to get a pac-man or Donkey Kong cabinet, original, but I could only imagine how much something like that would cost. And yeah, I have a feeling that's how it'll go. I don't see arcades opening up anytime soon with 1up machines. I think you even need to buy a riser for the 1up cabinets, because they are meant to sit on a table. So they happen to be pretty short compared to original cabinets. I barely have space too. I could possibly fit one in my home, but that is probably it. Then again, I probably have some stuff I can get rid of to make room if I need to. 🙂

Not much at the moment, but once you sign up, you're given access to all the games they have to play. But, I believe it reverts to a monthly fee once you are officially signed up. As for if it's better, I can't say, I haven't tried either yet. I still need accept my early access request yet. Don't feel like doing it in case my ISP caps me if I play too much, so I've been paranoid about that. Yeah it may take a bit. Some people aren't accepted. I think if you have a history on Amazon, they will accept you a lot faster, but I could be wrong on that.

Do you guys have any green screen suggestions? I could use something like XSplit Vcam that can remove the background for you or replace it with another image, but it adds a logo unless you pay for it. So, I've decided I will instead get myself a green screen to add a background. I figure this way it won't be as choppy, since when using Xsplit vcam, you need really good lighting, otherwise the greenscreen effect is just going to be choppy. So, I'm in need of some new ideas. Any suggestions for green screens?

We've yet to have a Justice League game that's like an action game in the style of the Arkham games and the recent Spider-Man and Avengers game (but better). I would love to see something like this happen, because I don't know why we haven't gotten a true triple A Justice League game. If they could make it like the Arkham series at the least, I would be happy.

With the populariity of 1up arcades and various other arcades on the market, it got me thinking. Do you think this will cause an increase of aracade cabinets to come out? I've always wanted to put a arcade cabinet or two in my home, and now that they're starting to come back, do you think it'd the best time to jump at the oppurtinity? Do you think this could bring arcades back even? I doubt it, but I would love to see that happen. I mean, they are much cheaper to build these days, and are a lot easier to take care of. But, I still think it'd be cool to have an original arcade cabinet.

ooh hell yeah! System Shock's remake is coming out this summer, and a new demo is available for it right now on steam. You can download the demo here - Steam As well, the game is starting to look really good. Check the trailer for it out below. What do you guys think?

What are some good sports management games? Like NFL Head Coach for example, where you don't control the actual game itself, but the plays, the cutting of players, hiring, etc. Management games. Do you know any like NFL head coach?

I was looking at facebook marketplace today, and I saw a guy mention via comment that he had recently sold 10 Xbox Series S consoles. Just makes you wonder how much they're over-charging for these consoles. I wanted to comment so bad, but I left it as I didn't want to start anything. But yeah, makes me sick that people think it's acceptable to do scalping like this.

Yeah baby Mario was a tad bit annoying. And I didn't know that about the sequel bit. Makes sense, because it's a lot different from Super Mario World. Especially the graphics and playstyle. It's so different. But, I think it was a good idea for them to do it, because I imagine it would have been even more overlooked if it didn't. But, i could be wrong.

A lot of these handheld PCs can do a lot. Just don't expect them to be cheap. But then again, when you have an item like this, it's only going to be purchased by enthusiasts and people who can afford them. I wouldn't mind owning one though.

Oh when my PC dies I start to get stressed out for sure. I have a tablet/laptop combo, but it isn't as fast as my current PC, but I'd have to end up using that for the time being. Other than that, I'd use that until my main PC is fixed.

It's essentially a site to buy cheap stuff made overseas. Think the junk you can get on Amazon, but somehow worse and cheaper. People can also sell products on there. Oh for sure. I find it crazy anyone would even try lol.
