My absolute favorite soundtracks are from Stardew Valley, Paradise Killer and Undertale. I would go as far as to say that Megalovania from the Undertale soundtrack is the most iconic video game track of the last decade, maybe even longer. It's crazy to think about that the whole game AND the soundtrack was made by just one person, Toby Fox.

I've played a lot of Call of Duty recently, so definitely war crimes, possibly genocide.

I haven't played more than about an hour or two of Red Dead Redemption. I loved the second one, so I should probably go back and play it, but I've never gotten around to it.

I've probably seen Mean Girls at least 10 times. It's one of my favorite movies of all time, and I would honestly say it's close to being a perfect comedy. I've also most likely seen the Back to The Future trilogy 10 times. It's one of my absolute favorite franchises.

I want to believe that Elder Scrolls VI will come out in 2025, but I really, really doubt it. My guess is that we might see it in 2026 at the earliest.

I'm affraid I have fallen into a pretty deep rabbit hole with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. I'm not really a big COD fan, and I haven't played one since Advanced Warfare came out 10 years ago, but I decided to download BO6 since it was on game pass and I had heard good things about the campaign. One thing led to another, and suddely I haven't played anything other than BO6 multiplayer for the past two months. I'm honestly starting to feel like it's a problem, because there are other games I want to play, but whenever I have any free time I just play COD. I'm planning on finishing up the battle pass and unlocking the diamond camo on a few SMGs, I'm almost done with both, and then giving it a break.

I wouldn't say I have a huge problem with having to connect to the internet in and of itself, since I have a solid internet connection at home 99,9% of the time, but what I do have a problem with is that some games that are connected won't let you pause, even though you are playing solo. A great example is Elden Ring. I wouldn't say I have played a ton of Elden Ring, but I did put quite a few hours into it, and I guess because of the fact that you could potentially be joined by other players, it's not possible to ever pause the game.

One other game that I absolutely loved that I feel like I never see anyone talk about is Paradise Killer. The game is set in literal Paradise, and there has been a murder, hence the title of the game. It's up to your character, Lady Love Dies to solve the murder by exploring a gorgeous, vaporwave aesthetic island to collect clues, and by interrogating the island's inhabitants, a colourful cast of characters with names like Dr. Doom Jazz, Witness To The End and Crimson Acid. Also the game has one of the best soundtracks of any game I have ever played.

I absolutely agree, I love Spec Ops: The Line. At first glance it just looks like any other miltary shooter, but it goes a lot deeper the more you get into it. I remember the loading screen messages that made you feel guilty for playing the game, like "Do you feel like a hero yet?"

Last weekend I watched a Norwegian documentary named Ibelin, and I loved it. I think it's quite an important film for gamers to watch, as it focuses on virtual friendships and relationships that I bet a lot of people here can relate to. Mats Steen was a young man who grew up in Norway with a muscular condition called Duchennes, that bound him to a wheelchair for most of his life. As he got older he lost more and more of his motor functions, and he sadly passed away at only 25 years old. Because of his condition, Mats spent most of life sitting in front of his computer playing video games, primaraly World of Warcraft. His parents we worried for him that he spent all his time inside his apparment and didn't have a social life at all, but after he passed away they learned that was not the case at all. I don't want to give too much away, but I highly, highly recommend watching it.

I haven't seen anyone mention The Ascent yet, I had a pretty good time playing back when it came out. It's an isometric twin stick shooter with a focus on looting and gear, set in a cyberpunk city. Great game if you like Diablo-likes

I wouldn't say I've used it a lot, but I have occasionally streamed from my Xbox to my laptop, with pretty solid results. I have a pretty fast internet connection, and a mesh network that gives me pretty good wifi coverage everywhere in my house, and at times I would say the experience was almost just as good as playing on the console itself. I probably wouldn't play anything that relies on split second reaction times, but for a game like Baldur's Gate 3, which is what I have mostly used it for, it works amazingly well.

I finally beat Baldur's Gate 3 last week! I put about 94 hours into it, and I loved every moment. It's truly one of the best games I have ever played. I was very satisfied with the ending I got, but it still felt kind of bittersweet knowing the adventure was over. I can definitely see myself replaying this game in a few years and going down a different path.

The first thing that comes to mind is a device called the Juicero, which got pretty famous around 2016 or so for being so incredibly stupid. It was markeded as a smart juice machine that would connect to your phone. What it actually was was a machine that you had to buy proprietary juice bags for, which you would then put into the machine, push a button in the app, and the machine would squeeze the juice out of the bag into your glass. That's literally all it did, you could 100% just squeeze the bag yourself and get the exact same result. Here's the kicker; the thing cost $400. To the shock of absolutely no one, the company went out of business less than a year and half later.

I bought Persona 5, really not knowing if it was my type of game. Neither the turn based combat or the visual novel style storytelling really appealed to me, but I really loved the art style, so I decided to give it a shot. Turned out I absolutely loved it. The combat is actually very good, and I really fell in love with the characters.

I hoard them. I still have every single console I have ever owned, the idea of selling any of them is really unthinkable to me.

I would have to say at least 10-12 hours a day as well. I work 8 hours a day in front of a computer, and will usually spend several hours either in front of the TV or my computer when I get home, as well as all the time spent on my phone of course.

Thank you! Most of the ones one the wall really are not that expensive, the camo one and the stickerbombed bass I both bought used for about $100 each, the accoustic was about $250, but the black and white Explorer was about $650 My two favorite guitars are these though. The were both around $500 when I bought them. I mostly play bass these days, as that is what I play in my band. I used to play guitar in a different band, but quit about two years ago.

Not really game related, but here is also part of my vintage camera and vinyl collection, as well as the rest of my guitars and some signed posters by my favorite band

I decided to do a little photoshoot of my office today! My desk: The couch and TV-area: My CRT and retro consoles: The view from the couch All of the drawers are full of games. The TV is not really at an ideal angle, but my plan is to get a better mounting solution when I get around to swapping out the TV My handheld collection:

I'm currently playing Baldur's Gate 3. I haven't played the first two, and I really don't feel like I'm missing anything at all. It feels like a completely separate story, and although I'm sure there are some callbacks to previous games, there really are no references or characters that you won't recognize because you haven't played the others. I do however feel like the thing that helped me comprehend the game the best, was my previous experience with Dungeons & Dragons. It's absolutely not a requirement, but if you have played any D&D in the past, you will have a much easier time understanding the game's mechanics and world.

Oh yeah, a bunch. I used to buy a lot of bundles, like Humble Bundle, so my Steam library is filled with a lot of stuff I'm not really that interested in playing, but got through a bundle. I'm also a game collector, and have quite a few physical games in my collection that I have never played. Some of them, I absolutely do intend on playing, but there are quite a few that I will probably never play.

That's a sick car! I can imagine it must have felt amazing finally realizing your dream after 35 years My number one dream car is the DeLorean DMC-12. Can you guess what my favorite movie is? A few other on my dream wishlist include the Lamborghini Countach, Ferrari F40 and De Tomaso Pantera. Unfortunately all of these are super expensive sports cars, so I will never ever own any of them.

My fondest multiplayer memories are all couch co-o. Back in around 2012 og 13, I had recently moved into my first appartment. My girlfriend (now wife) was out of town for a weekend, so two of my friends came over and brought their Xbox 360s and an extra TV. I already had two TVs, so we set up three TVs and three Xboxes in my tiny living room and played Dead Island all night. Another time, probably also around 2013 or so, I was at a party at a friend's cabin, one of the same friends mentioned before. Diablo 3 had just come out for the 360, and we played 4 player couch co-op for hours. We made four characters, but would rotate out players. Great memories!

I just got a Pixel 9 Pro XL, and I'm really happy with it. That is, I was really happy with it, I don't actually have it anymore. There was an issue with the camera on my unit, so I had to return in. They didn't have a new one in stock, so I'm getting a new one later this week.
