Had no idea it had an app. Do you need to have the actual game on console for it to work? Or is there a Just Dance game on mobile that I completely missed? I'm not saying I want to play it, as I don't know how you would with a smartphone. My guess though, is that it's not a way to play, but just a companion app for the game to give you stats and stuff?

I'm not too into FPS games on mobile, especially smart phones because the control scheme of it isn't very practical. You can buy controller attachments and mods to make it easier to control, but I would rather play on PC or console if I can. It's one thing to have a handheld console, but a smartphone isn't that practical for FPS games imo.

Source - https://wccftech.com/remedy-alan-wake-2-is-playable-from-start-to-finish-well-launch-one-new-game-per-year-starting-in-2023/ So it looks like Alan Wake 2 is being worked on as we speak, and Remedy says it can be played from start to finish right now and they just need to polish it up some before release. I believe 2023 is when Alan Wake 2 drops, so that will likely be their next game. Control 2 is said to be in the works as well, along with a spin-off multiplayer game coming. They also have some other games in the works, but so far just have code names, those being: Codename Condor (multiplayer game I believe), Codename Vanguard (not much details, could be an open world game maybe?). As well, they are working on remakes for Max Payne 1 & 2 and have partnered with Rockstar to do it. Will probably be a lot better than the GTA Remastered Trilogy. :D They hope to make a new game every year up to 2027 or so. Not bad I'd say.

Wow, really sure you want to buy Activision/Blizzard now Microsoft? It sounds like they're laying off a ton of people, including jobs in the HoloLens, Surface and Xbox markets. It's concerning because they are attempting to buy a massive company for lots of money, and are cutting jobs as we speak. What happens to Activision and the many people working there when they come over? Are they at risk for losing their jobs too? Or at least some of them I imagine. Microsoft have stated they intend to cut 10,000 jobs, or 5% of their company. Read more on this below: https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/international/microsoft-cuts-jobs-hololens-surface-xbox-layoffs-continue Do you think Microsoft are making bad choices here? I just thing it's inevitable if they purchase Activision, that they will probably be firing some of those employees too.

Looks like there's a possible tease in the game Hi-Fi Rush, that teases a possible sequel to The Evil Within 2. The article below discusses a few easter eggs you can find in Hi-Fi Rush that looks to tease a sequel. The reason they are teasing it is because Hi-Fi Rush is developed by the same studio, so it makes a lot more sense as to why there are so many easter eggs in the game. I haven't played either Evil Within games myself, but I did watch playthroughs of both. Do you think these teases confirm a possible Evil Within 3? I also heard from the article, that Ghost Wire Tokyo was made by them as well, and that originally started as an Evil Within game before realizing it didn't work as an Evil Within game and they changed it up. Check out the article and the clips below. Article - https://www.gamesradar.com/the-evil-within-3-seemingly-teased-in-hi-fi-rush-easter-egg/

I do. I have games from consoles I don't even have yet, and probably wont end up even getting. I have a bunch of Wii & Xbox games for example, but haven't had a Wii or origianl Xbox to play them on forever now. And there are a lot of PS2 games I now own that I have yet to play after getting some from thrift stores and game trading sites. But it's a relatively small collection of games at the moment. I sadly sold most of my PS1, PS2, N64 games and more years back. Which I regret.

If they said they were used consoles, I don't think I'd have a problem, or course aside from the non-working consoles people got from them recently. But they're saying refurbished when they clearly are not. That should be illegal, but I don't know if it is. I think most people who purchase from them are people who don't know the retro gaming market. You can easily get the majority of their catalog of products for cheaper elsewhere. Their site is not meant for collectors and gaming fans, but those people looking for that nostalgia itch. I do hear they offer good money for used retro games, so that may be a good aspect of their service.

It seems to be getting decent reviews and people are really happy with it. I know some fans are against it because of J.K. Rowling and her transphobic talk as of late, but I don't think she has anything to do with the game or any other Harry Potter projects out there. I think they're officially owned by some studio, whoever made them, WB? I forget. From what I am seeing though, it looks like it's a lot of fun. But I don't know if it's really for me.

PlayStation kinda had a mascot in Crash Bandicoot originally, but it was never tied down to Sony I believe, so it was never an official mascot. I think people tried to say Gex was, but he was on the N64 and other consoles. I'd say Xbox has Master Chief though, probably the most recognizable character from one of their first ever franchises. I think he counts, though not by any means the greatest, I think he's popular enough. A lot more recognizable than say Blix the Cat or whatever it was haha. I think they tried to get Banjo and Kazooie to be mascots, but I don't count them, they will forever be Nintendo.

I don't even think I played any games on my Xbox One myself. My nephew and brother mostly played my xbox one, I rarely touched it since I had PC Gamepass instead.

I think they're letting just about anything go up live. I've seen people streaming movies, shows, others live streams even. I streamers from all over the place doing different things. I think tiktok will eventually ban certain content. It feels like the wild west right now.

Yeah true. He did have to do it a lot to survive, but I thought at one point he even mentioned he killed people for no reason. Maybe it was when he was talking with one of the women in camp about murdering too many people in game for no reason (by the players actions). But I thought there was some monologue about how he did bad things in the past that he probably didn't need to do. But yeah, I still think he is the most rational of the whole bunch. You should play it. It's like a tame version of GTA, but more linear. Why didn't you enjoy it? Just curious.

One other thing about social media, is that people love to spoil things. So when it comes to new games, movies, and tv, I kinda steer clear of social media for the most part. Friends, news outlets and others have spoiled games and other media for me in the past.

Not sure if you could use Kinect with VR. But I think it would be cool. Could have been another way to control the game if you want your hands to be free. I'm sure some modders could figure out a way to utilize Kinect for VR.

I mean I would because I don't care. I would love for translucent consoles to make a comeback. Even if it's just for collectors or a special edition. As long as it doesn't cost extra lol. But yeah, I think most adults want to stay in line with something simple. But a gamer might go for it. 🙂

I imagine the reason he didn't have legs in the original game is probably due to limitations. And it probably would have looked weird if he had legs anyway. In a cartoon show you can easily add legs and hands. But in video games, back then you were very limited with sprites and graphics in general. Also, I may be wrong, but I think he had legs on the arcade cabinet itself. Just not in the original arcade game.

Hmm, I'll have to start keeping an eye out for that warning. I don't usually bother to see if it's in most games, but I'm sure they pop up a warning that's visible somewhere. Or do you mean the warning is usually too small? Like fine print small?

Oh yeah they would have to go into a different direction. Though I'm sure it could still be a traditional platformer. I know Warioware is a thing, but I'd want more of an adventure game. I'm sure Nintendo could cook something good up.

There's an audience for it I guess. Whoever it is selling this stuff found a niche that works for them. I find it weird, because I'd rather some cool custom design that fits the game. But there are probably a small group of people into this. I'm sure there are others creating their own cover art in a more respectful manner.

I think Jimmy Hopkins from Bully is the most changed. I mean, look at how he comes in, and then how it ends. He comes in as a lone wolf and then kind of becomes a popular person among the students. I feel he changed a lot over the game. And as well, he's probably the most progressive since he is open to any relationship in the game. I mean if you want to, you could kiss just about anyone in the game if I remember correctly. Can't forget about Arthur Morgan from RDR2 as well. I feel like he came from a ruthless lawman to being someone respected and forgiven in a way. I feel like he broke from bad to good.

For those who don't know, DKOldies is a retro video game shop. They've been getting a lot of heat as of late, first off for their overly high prices on retro games and consoles, prices you wouldn't even see on Ebay and Amazon. On top of that, they've been getting hate for their refurbished consoles, to the point that some people are saying they're not even refurbishing consoles, just getting a working console in, saying it's refurbished and calling it a day. But, it seems some YouTubers tested out their service to see if they do refurbish their consoles, and so far every video I've watched, the console either doesn't work, or is extremely dirty. So what they must be doing, is testing out these consoles they buy, if they work, they'll slap their warranty sticker on it and say it's refurbished. Do you trust DKOldies? I have never purchased from them myself, and after how things are going, I don't think I ever will. Here are some videos of YouTubers dealing with DKOldies. Do you guys have any history with DKOldies? Have you ever purchased from them? I don't think I ever will, mainly because their prices are a bit crazy. But to be fair, their one year warranty on all games/consoles is nice, seems as if you don't have to pay to have anything sent back and can get your money in full back. Just sucks because these companies shouldn't lie about DKOldies did make a video denying these allegations, saying they do refurbish and clean all of their consoles. What's funny is they use a magic eraser to remove gunk on consoles, in the video they clean sticker residue from a Wii console. I guess those magic erasers can remove the base paint, and in turn a glossy finish becomes more matte. Anyway, what do you guys think of all of this? Is DKOldies a scam company? Or just lazy when it comes to refurbished consoles? I don't care if they overprice their products, whatever, I just won't buy from them. But to lie about refurbished consoles doesn't look good on their part.

It would be easy for them to do too. All they need is good enough hardware to match the Steamdeck and they can have a handheld console that has so much to offer with gamepass. Plus if they include streaming, it will be another bonus on top of it. I'm sure it could easily be done and would sell like crazy.

That's a good question. I think it's them just testing the waters to see what works. I think the majority of people on tiktok view a video and move on, and don't really stick around for long form content as much. So I don't know why game streams work. Tiktok live is random. One minute you'll see a woman teasing her viewers, another minute you'll see someone doing a scratch off lottery ticket and chatting with viewers, another you'll see random duet conversations and so on. It's a weird mix. I don't go to the live section much, but they will sometimes mix a live stream amongst your for you page. A lot of game streams that are popular are the role play ones, like people roleplaying as police in GTA V for example.

It also doesn't even have to be 1 vs 100. They could try other game show style formats, and maybe expand to other styles like You don't know Jack games. They could do Who wants to be a Millionaire, wheel of fortune, jeopardy and more. Even with real cash prizes and other prizes for participating. They would of course need to license it, but I'm sure they could work something out with these game shows and others.
