Can I has??? lol just kidding. I always wanted to get a PSvita and a PSP growing up. I still wouldn't mind getting a vita as you can probably do a lot of stuff on them. But yeah, that's awesome you found them. They're all in good shape and no damage?

Best 3D sonic game maybe, but I think the original 3 games are the best of the bunch. Once Sonic hit 3D, is when the series started to take a nosedive. I know people love Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, but the games to follow didn't do so hot. Especially when you get to Sonic 06 and some of the other games. But yeah, I'd say best 3D sonic game.

Good question, growing up I mostly had the NES, Genesis, PS1, and PS2. I didn't get to own an N64 until I was an adult. I always wanted to get a dreamcast, xbox, Nintendo Gamecube, Nintendo Wii and a few others I'm forgetting. I always wanted a gameboy color growing up. I won a Gameboy advance from something when I was a kid, and that was the only handheld console I had growing up. Oh also wanted the Sega Game Gear. A neighbor owned one and I remember how cool it was at the time.

Yeah I was hoping for a lot of games to make the cut, but licensing was a big hurdle that some just didn't want to deal with. I wish they'd finally make a new Tenchu. I remember enjoying Tenchu Z a bit, but wanted them to continue the franchise. I guess the recent Sekiro was conceived originally as a new Tenchu, so in a way it's still around. :) I remember Stranglehold, got near the end, but couldn't beat one of the bosses so quit lol.

I don't usually. I have purchased a few Humble Bundles, but never really bought any keys in bulk. I don't know if I'd count Humble Bundle, because when I hear "in bulk" I think of multiples of the same digital game rather than a bundle of games. And in that sense, I have never bought any games in bulk, though I would if I can guarantee the games are legit and not redeemed. I have never used Fanatical though.

I usually find a spot in my house to store them. I have enough room at the moment for more games, but I usually just get digital these days. I still am on the lookout for older and retro games though, so eventually I'll need more room. What I want to do is build a shelving unit in a spot in my room, and just build a nice set of shelves so that I can store all of my games, with room to spare. I want to make the shelf extend the whole wall, so that I have enough storage. I have a small bookcase where all my games are right now, with a small DVD tower on my dresser with some games. But other than that, I don't have much room for more games, but I think with more shelving and storage, I will have more than enough space to store my games, movies and whatever else I own.

Also, I don't know if you guys heard about this or not, just found out about it myself. If you tune into the game awards through Steam, you could win a Steamdeck. They will be giving away a steamdeck every minute during the stream, but you need to be watching it through Steams streaming side.

Original hardware is what I would rather play my games on. But emulation has become so useful in that I can play any console I want on a PC if I so desired. It makes it easier since I don't own every console, so emulation is the only way I can play some games. But, if I had the original hardware, I'd be playing on that the most.

I have a bookcase that holds most of them right now. It's not in order at all, and it could use some cleaning too. I want to get a different bookcase, or shelf since the one I have now the back is coming off and is probably older than I am lol.

I had a subscription to Gameinformer for a while, but it was more recent and I didn't keep them. I wish I did, but wasn't a huge fan of the Gameinformer mags with it being owned by Gamestop. Haha, I actually remember finding an old Electronic Gaming Monthly mag with Donkey Kong country at a local dentists office when I was a kid. I ended up taking it home lol. Yeah I wish I took care of my collection and kept most of them. I've looked at Ebay, haha, they are very pricey. Maybe one of these days I'll try Ebay and buy a cheap bundle or something. Or I'll keep an eye out at thrift stores and other such places.

Did you end up trying the demo? I was going to download it, but have yet to do so. I hear it's only a short demo introducing you to a moment in the movie kinda. If you did play it, how long was the demo? Pretty short? How did it control?

Yeah, the next E3 happens June 2023, so yeah a bit of a ways off. It's too early to really tell what we're going to see. I mean, there is a lot of time before the next E3, so our predictions now, may not even match with what they do coming June. But, I'm sure we'll see something on the next Kojima game if we don't get anything during the Game Awards this month. But other than that, maybe new details on the Suicide Squad game, as I am interested in that one.

I think it's fair to say that Nintendo can be a bit too kid friendly. They're known for not really pushing M rated games, though they have no problem with third party studios releasing M rated games. It's just that Nintendo focusses on a certain type of games, and I think they've fallen into that mold. But I'm fine with it honestly. You know what you're getting from a Nintendo console, great quality games, that are good for kids and adults. Now if all the games were some baby games with no M rated games, then I'd say it's too kid friendly. :D

Yeah I figured it would be too. With how many studios are doing it now, it kinda makes sense, but sucks. But, I think Gamepass will make that a bit better, I'll just stick to using gamepass. No worries there about paying $70. I don't think I purchased a $70 game yet.

Yeah it depends. In some cases I am so for it, like a game that is 10-20 years old and hasn't seen the light of day for a long time. Like Alan Wake for example, that remaster was really well done and made sense since Alan Wake was like 10 years old at the time of the remaster. But, I am not a fan of it when they remaster games like The Last Of Us, twice over. That game did not need another remaster. I get why they do it, money, but come on, the first remaster is more than enough imo. It's like these studios have to make it look as close to their newer games as possible. They should be remaking games that are old, haven't had a sequel in forever, and so on.

Well I figured it was going to happen sooner or later. Microsoft plan to start charging $70 for their new exclusives that are dropping on the Xbox Series X/S consoles. It's said to be starting with the release of such games as Forza Motorsport, Redfall, and Starfield in 2023. Kinda figured more companies would jump on the $70 price bandwagon, and Microsoft is the next to join. https://www.ign.com/articles/microsoft-raising-prices-new-first-party-games-xbox-series-70-2023-redfall-starfield

There are some games where I know I will have to restart. I recently did this with the Guardians of the Galaxy game, and got maybe a few hours into the game and then quit. I enjoyed what I played, but I just wasn't that into it after a while. But, if I ever decide to jump back in, I'm going to have to replay it.

Yeah I was a bit worried about it as well when it was first announced, mainly because of how spotty of a track record game to movie/show adaptations are. But having HBO behind it, and the money too, has to help make this the best it can be. Also the cgi that I've seen so far, looks really good, which I'm surprised by, but I have a feeling they're using the same special effects team that was behind the Game of Thrones and some of their other shows. I have faith they'll do it justice.

I guess Epic Games and 505 Games are teasing something. They released a video with actor Michael Madsen with a QR code in it. Scanning the QR code will bring you to this site: https://www.visitrockaycity.com/ Which is a countdown to the Game Awards. So my guess is 505 games is revealing a new IP at the show. I think some people said it could be a Kojima game, since 505 games published Death Stranding on PC, and Michael Madsen is a somewhat known actor, and I could see Kojima working with someone like Madsen. But that's probably not the case. We'll see though. I wonder if we're going to get an open world game from 505 games. It doesn't say who the developer is, whether it's 505 games just publishing, or whatever.

That is a tough one, because there are so many games I like that are on so many different consoles. But if I had to pick just one, I would probably go with the NES, as it's the one I have most nostalgia for and the one I started with. As well, Super Mario Bros. 3 is my favorite video game of all time, so I could probably re-play just that quite a bit. But, if PC was an option, I would choose a modern one and say emulation to get it all. :D But I don't think that would count towards this. So NES for me.

New trailer just dropped 2 hours ago, and it shows some more of the show. Honestly I'm sold on it. I'll be checking it out when it hits HBO next month. Also, props to them for using the games music near the end. I don't remember if they used the music in another trailer yet or not. Who's going to check it out day one?

Though I think many people are confusing this for an official game, this looks to be a fan made level of what it might look like to have a new game based on "The Thing". It's a downloadable demo you can play, just titled The Thing Playable Teaser (probably to capitalize on the Silent Hills PT demo). I didn't download it to play myself, but from the videos I saw it looked interesting. The developer probably made it to show what he was capable of doing.

It's sad. They're billion dollar companies that are complaining about making even more money. Hell Microsoft even offered a 10 year licensing deal to Sony to make sure cod stays on playstation. So I don't know why they are fussing. I mean, if they honor deals to put Bethesda games too, Sony will be fine. I don't think Xbox is going to keep those franchises exclusives, because they also stand to make even more money by keeping it multiplatform. Think about how much money cod makes a year, they'd be cutting out likely half of that profit if they made it exclusive to PC and Xbox. I hope they figure it out. As long as we get the games we've been waiting for, I think things will be fine.

Don't you miss those days where they'd toss in a demo disc? I loved it. I had a subscription to PSM, which was a third party playstation mag. Sadly those did not come with demo discs like the actual PlayStation magazine did. I usually got gaming mags from my local grocery store. They used to sell older mags in bundles for a cheaper price, and I would buy those up. They did the same for comics, but a couple of the comics they literally remove the cover. So you'd get like 3 comics and one or two of them don't have the cover and back. But I built a small comic collection back then that way.

Yeah I second the silent hill 2 remake. I especially want to see more about the other silent hill projects they got going. Also I'd like more of an idea about Kojimas Xbox game along with whatever he has up his sleeve next. I would love to see a new metal gear, but I would hope Kojima is somewhat involved in that. Otherwise I don't want to play it.
