I can't think of anything off the top of my head. Maybe the way Mortal Kombat was hated by politicians and parental groups, but looking back, the content was relatively tame compared to today's standards. Oh, the big one that I can recall now, is Night Trap. That game where you have to trap masked vampires or something. It was a weird game, and people thought it was literally porn or a snuff film. It was far from that. It was more a corny interactive movie than anything else.

Do kids tend to play terrible video games? I saw an article from Cnet here written by a father who's son wanted terrible games for Christmas. On the list was, Among Us (not too bad, as he even states that) and the rest were Roblox (lol) and some mobile game called Zooba. He then goes on to mention Goat Simulator, which I'm all too familiar with. In fact, my nephew was addicted to it for the longest time lol. He was also into Roblox and Among us. But, he's gradually getting into better games these days. 😄 I agree with him this writer though. Kids these days have really bad taste in video games, and like he said in the article, it could be because of popular kids youtubers who showcase these types of games. Hell, it's probably why the majority of these games are selling to this day. If no one was doing videos on Roblox, I bet no one would really be playing it. Or it wouldn't be at the level it currently is. As a kid, I played what I had, which was the good stuff. But kids these days, are more interested in flashy nonsense.

With Hitman III having a VR mode on the PS VR, it got me thinking, what other games do you think could benefit from having some kind of VR mode? I'm surprised GTA V hasn't officially jumped at VR, considering they have first person. But what are some other games, that you'd like to see get VR support? Doesn't Skyrim have a VR option now? I forget. I'd like to see VR support for just about every game out there. 😄

Finally some bit of good news in regards to Cyberpunk 2077. The game now supports modding. Modding tools were released by CDPR, so that gamers can alter their game the way they want to. I don't know how this will work with people making their own mods, but I am excited to see what people deliver. You can read about this news here - The Verge

There are times where I start to get groggy and start feeling sick if I stay in one spot for too long, especially when it comes to gaming. I will oftentimes slouch on my couch as well, and that starts to mess up my back too. I don't usually stick in one spot for too long though because of that. When I start to feel it, I get up and move around. Or I take a break for an hour or two to recover. There's the usual tiredness, but that's a given when you game for long hours.

I can't say I got many digital codes for free. I've gotten a few over the years, but not a high level. I mostly got my digital games from the humble bundle, but I wouldn't count that as you're paying for that. But yeah, I've gotten some codes for free. Won a code for some PC game years ago, redeemed it, but never played it lol.

Depends on the game and the child, as well as their age I imagine. Some kids are more mature for their age, and understand what they're playing. So if they play a violent game, they know right from wrong in real life. But, that still doesn't mean they should be playing anything like GTA or Hitman. I'd say we should utilize the ESRB as it was intended and let kids play E-T rated games. I think teen rated games are fairly tame anyway, so I see no problem for even younger kids to play them. I view it the same to PG-13 movies. Like I doubt kids under 13 are going to have a problem with watching it. I look at superhero films in that regard, as little kids don't seem to have a problem watching them. I started gaming around 3-4 years old as well, I probably didn't know half of what I was playing back then. Then again, I didn't get a taste of my first M rated game, until PS1 with Tenchu I think it was.

Oh for sure. Gaming for long hours is essentially the same as watching TV for long hours. Same sitting in the same spot for hours on end. etc. Poor health, poor blood circulation, etc. This could be solved by getting up every couple hours to stretch, move around, get your body moving more. Like taking a break for a little bit.

Yeah I can't see Konami ever letting their properties go, even for money. Which sucks, because there are so many games they could bring back from the dead, and fans would go crazy for it.

Oooh, Interesting. It's nice to see actual companies being against loot boxes. But, this is Capcom we're talking about, and I'm not sure if you all remember, but years back they had content on disc that was locked behind a paywall. This was for one of the street fighter games. But, if they changed their ways and aren't for this sort of stuff, I hope more companies jump on board with their opinion. You can read bore about this info here - techraptor

I love what gamepass has become, an option to get tons of games for a month, on the cheap. Sadly, the PC selection currently, is a bit lacking. I would love to see more PC games showing up in game pass. What games do you think they could add next? I figure the majority of these games are coming to Xbox One and the new gen Xbox. But maybe some more PC only games? I'd like that too.

Oof, well that's no good. According to PSU, the new game Destruction AllStars has story challenges locked behind a paywall, as this game has microtransactions, some of which can only be purchased by paying for their currency. The challenges come in the form of Challenge Series Events, that require their special currency to get, which means you have to drop real cash to even partake. Seems stupid to me. Anyway, what do you think? With some cosmetics and story challenges locked behind a paywall, is this a game you would even consider?

You should give the original titles a shot before you do. In this day and age, studios like to change and add things to reboots. So if you want the best experience, I'd say play the originals if you can. You can get the 2nd, 3rd and a portable game in the HD collection that came out a while back. I suggest checking that out for 2 and 3. But get the PS1 version of MGS1 and play that. For it's time, it was revolutionary and I think it's aged fairly well for what it is. Even with the really outdated graphics, the game plays great imo. I remember playing the MGS1 demo years ago as a kid, and replayed the hell out of that demo. I finally got the game in my collection. 🙂

4K is going to be nice, especially with the new consoles having new graphical options like ray tracing and other cool stuff. Getting games at 60fps or more and in 4K is probably a sight to see. I can't wait to be able to game in 4K. But is it needed? Nah, I think I could live with 1080p or 2K even. But, I think once I actually play a game in 4K, is when I will make my decision.

Not these days. I haven't really felt the need to check over cheat codes. Well, the last game I did any cheats on, was RDR2, for like unlimited or extended invincibility, and cheats like that. I haven't checked cheats for modern games since though, but maybe I should. Wonder if Cyberpunk has any cheats out there. 😄

I don't know what this really has to do with gaming. Anyway, yeah, it's tough to get approved on YouTube, or to go anywhere on there. There's so many rules and issues with the service, that I've kind of steered away from using it. I just now use it to record my gaming streams. As I'm going to be streaming through a service called restream that will let me stream to all kinds of platforms.

Yeah buy a SSD or another HDD to add to your system. It will be a lot better. External drives aren't as good for gaming unless they're made to be used for gaming. I would stick with SSDs though, as they are a smoother experience.

I think it has potential to be an option alongside digital USD. I don't know if it will be the only way to pay, because I think no matter what, the USD will probably stick around. If anything, I can see them doing their own cryptocurrency. It just comes down to game companies like Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo to accept cryptocurrency, and once they do, everyone else might too.

I've never dreamt of playing video games or seeing a video game in my dreams. Which I find to be weird since I like video games. I mostly have dreams about life. I don't remember most of what I dream of these days. I hate when I lucid dream though, as it makes me feel extra tired when I wake up.

I love when companies release a demo for their upcoming games, especially when sometimes those demos aren't even a part of the full game. Like the recent RE 8 Maiden demo. I don't know if this portion will be in the game, but if it's not, it's a cool way to market a game. I wish more studios did these type of things. Could be an opening to a game, or maybe even the games tutorial. That'd be cool. What do you guys think?

This is some cool news. John Hopkins and Mount Sinai are working on ways to help stroke patients recover. They are using tele-neurorehabilitation and gamification to help them. No idea what any of those things are, but if it can help stroke victims, more power to it for sure. You can read more about how they do this from Fierce Healthcare I think this is really awesome. If it can actually help people who suffered strokes, and help them regain functions again, that'd be awesome. My cousin had a small stroke when he was in his 30s, and I like to think if he had this back then, he would have recovered a lot faster.

Konami hasn't been great in a quite a few years, not since before they blew it with the whole, getting rid of Kojima issue and focusing on stuff like pachinko machines. I don't think they can make quality games anymore, and I don't think they really care to do so. They still churn out some games, but it's not much. I think they only recently released their PES game. But I could be wrong. Anyway, what games from their side should they sell off? I'd love to see Metal Gear Solid sold to someone who would do something with it. Same with Castlevania, and Bomberman. There's a lot more I imagine, but these are the ones I would like to see sold to someone else. What do you guys think?

Ooooh, I hope this means we're getting a new Metal Gear Solid. But, with the old cast returning, I wonder if we'll end up seeing a remake of the original game. Remakes are all the rage these days, and I think the first MGS could do with a remake. David Hayter, the man behind the original voice of Solid Snake, and Big Boss tweeted this bit of news: You can also read about this bit of news here - Gamesradar

MP1ST has some news on some new merch from Sony called the PlayStation 5 Launch Collection. It's a limited edition set that comes with a PlayStation themed wool cap, Insulated water bottle, some socks, and tech decals. It's going to retail for $49.99 on Amazon. Is this something you'd buy? I think the cap and the bottle alone are worth it, considering hats go for around $20-25 and it's also wool. The water bottle probably costs around the same, so I think it's a pretty decent deal.

Ooh, that's nice. I really want to upgrade to something with tempered glass one of these days. Or something that I can access the inside a lot more easier.
