Not yet, but I would like to with my next gaming PC. Currently my gaming PC is fine and gets the job done, but I know down the line I will need to upgrade and will probably build it from scratch this time around. I will probably use a site to guide me through the build process, but I know there are sites out there that will give you a list of compatible parts for your build, so I think I'll use that to my advantage. But yeah, one of these days.

They found out the hacker was a kid, just 17 years old. You can read more about it here: https://gamerant.com/gta-6-hacker-arrested/ The thing with this stuff, is that it's easy to track the people who do this. I don't know what will become of the kid. He's a minor, so they could go easy on him. My guess is that they're going to request a ton of money from him, and there's going to be no way for him to pay it. I think the hype is still there though. If anything this leak renewed peoples interest, at least for some. But I think an the reveal, when it does come, will be awesome. What we saw in this leak was not near completion, so there's still a lot to do I imagine.

I hear it's to stop hackers/cheaters. Of course it won't stop all of them, but it should slow them down some. My main concern is that I don't have service on my mobile phone, I have a house phone, but they don't accept that. Not like they can't send me an automated message with a code, but I guess they gotta go with mobile. They might have back peddled or they made it work for those on pay as you go plans. Because if I ever do get phone service, I will be using the pay as you go services. And I know a lot of people use these services, so that cuts out a lot of people.

You don't need to play the first game to get into the second. I don't think there's a connecting story or anything. It's pretty much the same game, but I think it has co-op multiplayer, but I forget, it's been so long since I last played it. I remember playing the second game and encountering a glitch that got some of my people killed. And that turned me off from playing it any further. From what I played it was fun, but it's really repetitive. I don't think I can ever go back to it. Maybe if they finally made a third game I'd give it a go, but idk if I would.

I'd like to mention Batman Arkham Origins. In that game the Joker is voiced by Troy Baker, who did the voice of Joel in the Last of Us. He did a spot on version of how Mark Hamill's voice. Honestly he did an awesome job replicating Hamill's joker voice, because it almost sounds identical. If anything they could get Troy Baker to reprise his role as the Joker going forward, if they want to that is. Hamill will probably still get the job, unless he actually sticks with retiring from voicing the Joker, which he always says he will, but then comes back and still does voice over work lol.

Yeah it's true that the Switch doesn't have the hardware to handle most new COD titles, but I still think they could make a COD just for the Switch. They already have three studios making COD titles, they could have one focus on a new COD just for the Switch. I think it'd be cool to get a COD switch version. It's not like it has to match what the Xbox, PS, PC versions can do. They could get away making a smaller COD title. Or hell, even remaster/re-release some of the classic COD titles, I'm sure the switch can handle some of those.

Yeah the 360, XBox one and new Xbox controllers all have the same issue, in that prolonged use can result in the analog sticks to drift. This has happened to me for most of my Xbox 360 and Xbox one controllers, and it's quite annoying. I blame it mostly on the fact that I played a lot of COD and that can have a bad effect on the analog sticks, it was always the left analog stick for me. But yeah, ever since I got the PowerA Fusion pro controller a while back, I haven't had these issues. Of course I also haven't played much COD in recent years, so that may explain it a bit.

I can't say I've actually heard of this person to begin with, but it sucks that they are stopping their coverage on video games. Is it because people weren't tuning into his gaming content and so he decided to just scrap it? I figure it being financially viable was the key thing. If it wasn't providing any value, I can understand dropping it.

Surprisingly they're not that expensive, currently going for a little under $100 on ebay right now. But it's also a small fridge, one of those can hold six cans, so not much room for anything really. What's funny though, is I've been considering getting a small fridge for my room, so I can pack it with water and some other beverages so I can work and not have to get up to get water in the other room lol. It's lazy, but I'm a lazy person, so it works out for me. 😄

Yeah music and copyright while streaming is a sticky situation. You can stream with the music, but once that vod is done, they will probably claim the music. And I hear that on some sites, they completely remove the sound, which means they'll remove the voices as well I imagine. There can be some good free to use songs out there. For me if I stream, I don't know if I'd play music too much. I think I'd want my audience to pay more attention to me than the music, but I suppose it also depends on what you're playing.

The console probably overheated, that's essentially what the RROD was. If the console got too hot, it would give you the RROD after shutting itself down. THe tricks we used on the original 360 was to open the console up and wrap a towel around it. I think that was what some people did. Supposedly it helped with re-heating the sauder or something on part of the board. But I got a 360 slim later on and I didn't deal with the RROD at all. Though my first slim the disc drive died on me, so I got a used 360 a while after. But for the most part, the Slim was a real game changer in that you rarely had to deal with the RROD. Unless you somehow overheat your console.

I just wish they would allow you to add photos or other custom made graphics. They allow you to change the color of pretty much everything, which is awesome, but I wish they offered more options for consumers. Like an option to add your own graphics, or the ability to fully customize the colors, including the buttons any color you want. As well, I feel like you could get a standard controller for much cheaper. Also I wish they had more font options for the gamertag option. idk, I just wish they'd add more customization options. Allow us to add our own button designs and all that jazz. 😄

I'd say a 7/10. Not too into the music myself, but it gets the job done for sure. Here's my choice. It's the theme for Robocop on the Gameboy. I heard it recently and it's kinda relaxing. I was going to list the Batman theme from the NES game, though I may list that later instead.

I get Gamepass ultimate, as it include gamepass and a month of XBL gold. I think Gamepass is going to outright replace Xbl gold, and we'll see Gamepass as its replacement soon enough. It makes sense though, since Ultimate gets you gold I see no point in calling it gold anymore. Just call it Gamepass and you can include the online component there as well. I usually just purchase a $15 card for Gamepass ultimate whenever I want a month or so.

On top of that, a lot of the time they want you to rate the game with 5 stars. Which imo just lies to the consumers, and I'm pretty sure it's against any marketplaces TOS and rules. You can kinda tell when the reviews are paid for, they will be almost too glowing or too kind, and they will often be from people who haven't played anything else, or put out any other reviews. I was asked to write a good review for a long mouse pad with LED lights in the past, and I'd get the mousepad for free. But I chose not to, because the intent was to lie and I'm not about lying when it comes to reviews. Now if they paid me to review it legit, that's another story. But I think it's wrong to pay people money or the actual product in order to get good reviews.

Yeah it seems to be happening that way. Especially since even some third party titles are releasing day one on Gamepass. Call of Duty will likely be day one on gamepass going forward. I should check, but I'm going to guess that COD is already available on gamepass, but I could be wrong. Would be dope if they re-released all COD titles on gamepass, cause I wouldn't mind revisiting some of the classics like Black Ops, and even MW3 (one of my personal faves).

There is always that chance that it could happen. Things change, and I too can see MS taking a stab at a mobile Xbox handheld. I think their focus will first go onto perfecting streaming and gamepass, but once they have that all figured out, I could see a handheld being a viable option for gamers. Until then, I think they're going to focus on building the streaming up, to make sure it works. And then go from there.

Yeah I've been hearing good things about it since release. They've really come far. Kinda reminds me of the mess that No Man's Sky was in when it released. Now that game too is hugely popular and has since received glowing reviews. I'm glad both games have gotten to a point that works for them. But I hope this trend stops, because I hope they hold the games back until they're fully ready before release. Because who wants to wait years for a game to finally get to a point the devs originally wanted it to be at?

To my knowledge they did cut that out for future consoles. But it is a nice feature for the Xbox one because it means I could have an extra hookup to my TV if I'm out of HDMI spots. I haven't done it in a while, but if I put my Xbox One out in the living room soon, I will probably connect it to another console or something.

I don't think it's going to be their last. What I think the outcome will be, is a combination of streaming and gamepass. There will be a new Xbox one day, but I think they will focus on supporting Gamepass even more and will also try to get streaming out of the box. This way, they wouldn't have to make powerful devices to play games. Which I think is the direction they're going. They will still make devices, but they will be smaller and more compact than current Xbox consoles, and will probably be all digital and streaming. I think they'll make two types of console, one that can handle the bigger games, and one that would be meant just for streaming. I think that's the future Xbox will go in.

I have changed my gamertag a few times, last time I'd say was probably back in early 2011 or so. I had changed it before that, a couple other times, but the new name I chose stuck and I've been using the name ever since. I don't like sharing my GT though, and honestly I don't game on my Xbox all too much anymore anyway. I mostly play PC games anyway. My Xbox One is mostly just used for YouTube and apps.

Wow, haven't played GTA in quite a while, so can't comment on my favorite radio stations. I will say anything that was comedic is up there, but also classic rock and maybe any station that features classic hip-hop etc. I felt like that feature has been around for a couple years now. Fortnite has had a radio option for a while, but maybe I'm wrong. I just got back into the series maybe last year or so. Or maybe it's been two years, idk I forget. But I think the radio option was there for a while now. And they might actually do Halloween themed stuff today. Not sure though as I haven't touched the game since the weekend.

Most of my friends kept track too, but so did I for a lot of the games. Back then I knew guys who would just camp and build up their K/D. One guy I gamed with, who was actually pretty good, often camped, but he had a KD of like 3 point something, I forget. But all he did was camp, and I guess that worked for him. I liked to rush the enemy players, which can be good for your KD or just outright awful lol.

I always found it crazy to brick the console itself. I understand the user being banned, but the console is another story. Those consoles cost a lot, and when banned, they are essentially paper weights. I think you can factory reset them and put a different account on them, but if you used any hacking tools on said xbox, than I could also understand why it would also ban/brick the console.

It's safe to say Anthem is dead at this point. I don't think anyone plays it anymore, if they do it's probably a very small group of people still playing it. I never played it, but after the stuff I saw on it, I never really want to play it. All I hear it's got going for it, is the flying mechanic and combat, but there's nothing else around it to entice players to continue. Plus since the dev team dropped this game, there won't be future fixes or updates. Anthem could have been a good game, but crunch ruined it to the point they finished the game as quickly as possible so they could ship it out.
