Mostly games, although on my PS5, since it has the HDR setup w/ 4K, I have Hulu, HBO max, Netflix and ESPN+ installed for media consumption.

I game on Consoles & PC (Gaming laptop) but i do prefer consoles over PC in most cases. I don't dislike PC gaming, i just prefer using a controller vs Keyboard & mouse.

My buddy Matt has sucked me back into it.....I'm below level 20 on my current character so I can play for free for a bit. I played a little bit this morning before they did maintenance and I was promptly disconnected 😛 Might try to play more tomorrow or later tonight, we'll see 🙂

Last game played was Broken Age on Game Pass. It was a bit of an odd one.

I can definitely see that happening. I think it's a game i'll keep in the backburner for achievements, slowly go through it when I need the 3 achievements for the week, similar to what I did with the walking dead telltale games.

Has a specific game ever given you a headache? I can't remember which one, but one of the Call of DUty's game me a headache almost every time I played it. I think it was the original Black Ops or MW3 back in the day but I can't be sure. I think it had something to do with the motion blur in the game, but again, not certain 100%. Has a game ever given you a headache consistently?

Outside of maybe a private server being hosted by the community of said game, I'm not sure? I mean i look at games like Phantasy Star Online, which outside of console versions was only online (Blue Burst) and PSO BB is kept alive today thorugh about half a dozen of private servers, used to run one myself. (Kinda wanna bring it back TBH)

Let's see: Metal Gear Solid Yakuza/Like a Dragon Resident Evil Shenmue Phantasy Star/Phantasy Star Online Call of Duty Battlefield Titanfall

Ooooh boy! In no particular order: Streets of Rage 2 Mortal Kombat 2 Metal Gear Solid Resident Evil 2 Phantasy Star Online (Any iteration except Episode 3) Final Fantasy 7 ObsCure Parasite Eve Twisted Metal 2 Shenmue ❤️ Yakuza (the whole series is great) Hitman Trilogy Stranglehold CoD: Black Ops 2 CoD: Ghosts (don't judge me :P) I'm certain i'm missing a bunch but there ya go.

What do you think of a Metal Gear revival? One is being teased by Konami for 2023 and i'm kinda excited to see if we'll get a remake of Metal Gear Solid, done properly or even a full blown Metal Gear & Metal Gear 2 remake, that would be super interesting to see!

If you're looking for a "Pro" style controller and you have an xbox one or Series console then I'd recommend the Elite series 2. Perhaps with an extended warranty. I have this and i love it, It's my daily controller and works well for the most part. The extended warranty is just in case one of the paddles or buttons breaks.

Before, I would say yes, but now i'm not sure. The revised PS5 model rumoured to be coming is gonna be a digital model but they're gonna be selling a detachable disc-drive for it separately so you'd be able to buy that and play physical media on it. I would see something like that become the norm for awhile before a straight up 'all digital' console with no physical media at all.

No. Although the modded Dreamcast I bought had a custom paintjob done to it. I wouldn't attempt doing anything like this myself. I don't like dis-assembling consoles and stuff, especially newer ones. I think most consoles look fine as-is and a 'custom' paintjob isn't really needed in most cases. It's not something I would ever attempt myself, that's for sure.

Do you use any emulators on your phone? I have a few but i haven't used them in some time. They're mostly for Genesis and SNES. I do have a Dreamcast emulator but playing that on touch screen is very difficult 😛

I think it'd be interesting, but it'd no doubt be very watered down to be handled on a mobile device IMO.

All major match types, i'd even include bra & panties matches, bring it back to the more "Attitude" era of games. a really extensive Creation mode I would say what @Kane99 stated was pretty spot on.

Honestly, I think it's time. We've had 6 games in a row now with "Boots on the ground" and the last "Jetpack" game was in 2016 with Infinite Warfare. The way kids play MWII these days jumping and bunny hopping around corners like it's the jetpack era, makes me miss it and thinks we should get another game like Black Ops 3. Honestly, kinda getting bored w/ how CoD games are structured now and I would love to see them go back to the golden days of Black Ops 2 but I guess that's a pipe dream.

I agree, only program I found Alienware to put in theirs is the Alienware Comamnd Center and Dell's SupportAssist client, both of which are pretty useful in keeping your PC running smooth......so I wouldn't necessarily call either of those 'bloatware'.

I would love something like this, personally, either a code for a new game or DLC for one you already played. It would be difficult to determine what games & codes would go into that calendrer though. I guess you'd be able to choose what sort of games you were into prior to purchasing it?

Does anyone remember this psychological survival horror game? It was a Resident Evil clone but you had telekinetic powers & abilities instead of guns. It was pretty cool back in the day but very difficult. Does anyone else remember this title?

Aim for the head 😛 Don't be a loot goblin and only revive teammates at the appropriate times (when not being shot at)

I used a stationary mouse once, it was extremely uncomfortable. My friend had one when he put together a gaming PC back in high school, it was very uncomfortable if I'm honest.

I was window-shopping for a few things but unfortunately what I was hoping for, didn't go on sale so I couldn't pick it up. I'm hoping to snag the items I missed later this year at a discounted price.

I agree. a New Switch w/ better hardware, make it backwards compatible w/ the original Switch games would be a huge bonus, but I would say 4K is a must and they should focus on better graphics for this new model, at least to some extent. They definitely need to hit 4K 60 or 4K 30 steadily, at the very least.

I'd say so. I don't see many games still doing this. We might get it in the 007 Goldeneye Remake, but outside of that and maybe possibly the Perfect Dark remake, I think split-screen couch-co-op is all but done for tbh. It just doesn't make sense to put resources into something only about 5% of the community would utilize.
