I really need to get the Nomad at some point! It's my goal to try and get all the models of the Sega Genesis that was released. I already have a couple different Model 1 and 2 Genesis, I don't think I'll ever be able to get the Sega CDX or JVC X'Eye consoles since they're super rare though... Despite it's poor battery life, I always thought the concept of playing your Genesis titles on the go was pretty awesome. Sega was always ahead of the competition IMO, but the technology just wasn't where it needed to be for it to really succeed...

I think from a sales perspective, the Switch is probably going to be the greatest selling Nintendo console in time. As for it being the best in my personal opinion, I would have to disagree. I personally think the Gamecube was the best console, despite it not selling well. I had many great memories playing my Gamecube and I used to have the Gameboy Player which opened up another library of games for me to enjoy. It's how I played most Gen 6 games since I didn't get a PS2 until about 2006 and didn't have a Xbox until a few years ago.

I've only played the Chamber of Secrets on the GBA. I have watched my spouse play Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone on the Playstation and thought the graphics were hilarious. xD I own the Sorcerer's Stone on the GBC as well, and I've been meaning to play it since I've seen footage of it. It's cool to see how different the games were between platforms back then, the GBC version of The Chamber of Secrets is a rpg just like the first one on the same platform. Yet the GBA title is a platformer.

Chocolate with bacon honestly sounds delicious! I like salty sweet things, and I can imagine that's how it would taste. As for the example above mine, I don't think I would ever mix chocolate milk with Tabasco sauce. xD My father in law likes to add a slice of american cheese on his apple pie. He claims it tastes a lot like cheesecake, which I could imagine. The sharpness from the cheese probably gives it that flavor but I don't like cheesecake.

It's definitely has made a huge impact on gaming events like E3. Also with the chip shortage it made launching the PS5 pretty difficult for Sony. The Xbox Series X also seemed to suffer from this as well, the Series S really didn't since more people originally wanted to go with the X since it's better in every aspect. (The Series S is fine if you don't have a 4K tv and only have digital titles.) It's not only affected the current gen, retro game prices have skyrocketed since the pandemic as well since people were forced to stay at home.

I use it on my own forum as well as another forum I'm staff on. It's a great tool and I really need to set it up for other websites that I use, especially my Youtube account. You just never know when it will come in handy when someone tries to hack into your accounts... I don't make my members use it however since my forum is quite small.

This is disgusting and it needs to be stopped. Discord shouldn't allow these types of servers to exist, and they should be de platforming any extremist groups that are going to continue to cause harm to society. We're going to have lots of unhinged adults in the future if this is allowed to continue happening.

I wanted a GBA SP so bad back in the day when it was first released! I thought it was cool that it had a rechargeable battery and I remember having to use an adapter for my GB most of the time since batteries were always so expensive. My parents couldn't really afford them... I finally got one a few years back, and I love it! I also thought it was cool that it had a backlight too!

No I would say the Virtual Boy is the worst Nintendo console. I've only met one person who actually liked it, and was actually shocked that it was his favorite with my personal favorite (the Gamecube) being his least favorite. I personally don't really care for the Game and Watch line, they were definitely a product of their time. (I'm not sure about the new Game and Watch lineup though, I haven't played them...)

As of writing this post I actually do own every single Playstation console. Of course not every single model though. 😛 That would be a bit overkill, but I suppose having a PS2 and PS1 might be a bit weird. xD My PS3 is a slim model so it can't play PS2 titles and not all PS1 games run right on it. There are a few PS4 titles that don't run right on the PS5, such as Uncharted The Nathan Drake Collection.

The server costs have to be quite expensive I would imagine. I do miss the days where it was free to go online, but times are changing and these game servers need to be able to handle faster network speeds and more players too.

I've currently been listening to SAINT PEPSI Cherry Pepsi non stop! I'm listening to it even as I type this sentence up. He's one of the most well known Vaporwave artist, so chances are you might have heard about him if you like Vaporwave.

I definitely spent the most time playing my Switch. Between playing Pokemon Legends Arceus and Pokemon Scarlet, I've spent hours playing both titles. I still need to get around to beating Legends Arceus, I don't know why I stopped playing it. I'm right at the end of the game too. :V I beat Scarlet but I still need to get Walking Wake and Iron Leaves and then my Pokedex will be completed until they come out with more Pokemon.

I highly suggest checking out daVinci Resolve. I currently use this software to edit my Youtube videos and it's free. There is a limit to what effects you can use on the free version, but I rarely use these effects. You can purchase a license for $295 if you want, and it's a one time fee too. It did take me a bit to get used to using it, but there's some great tutorials on Youtube to help you!

I have a Sega Saturn, but honestly it's my least favorite Sega console. I was a die hard Sega kid growing up, and I love the Sega Genesis. I would have liked the Saturn if it had more Sonic titles. Sure there's Sonic Jam, but that's just ports of the Genesis titles. Sonic R is a racing game, which I would love to own someday to add to my collection but it's not a main Sonic title. Sonic 3D was just a graphically enhanced version of the Genesis title. Sonic Xtreme was going to be the main Sonic title, but due to development issues it never was finished. If you're into fighting games, the Saturn does have some decent titles. I highly suggest importing Japanese copies of games since the US copies are way too overpriced. I got lucky I found Sonic 3D cheap, I imported the Japanese version of Sonic Jam.

When I was a kid, I really wanted a Dreamcast and Sonic Adventure until I played it at a Kmart kiosk when I was 10. For some reason I just couldn't get into the game at this time, but then five years later I got Sonic Adventure DX for the Gamecube and loved it. :V The dreamcast really is a cool console, it's not my favorite Sega console (that's the Genesis) but it's awesome. Many older Sonic fans used to browse various Sonic forums using the browser for the Dreamcast. xD It's a shame that Sega had already screwed themselves over with the 32X and Saturn that the Dreamcast didn't last long, not to mention the security for the console sucked so you could easily burn games to discs and that ultimately was the nail in the coffin. (The Saturn is my least favorite Sega console, seeing how the only brand new Sonic title we got on the platform was Sonic R...)

If there's one platform that I don't like it has to be the Philip's CDI. I don't think there were really any games on the console that were decent, I know they were trying to be innovative at the time but it could have been much better. At least the 3DO had some decent games like Gex, and a port of Doom. As for the well known manufacturers, Nintendo's Virtual Boy has to be my least favorite handheld/console. I actually know a guy who loves the Virtual Boy and it's his favorite Nintendo console. :V

My spouse has been enjoying the game, so much that they just started their third playthrough! They're a Slytherin so they picked Slytherin first, and just finished their play through as a Hufflepuff. Their currently playing as a Grifindor, so they're saving the best house for last IMO. 😛 I'm not too big into Harry potter, I enjoyed the films when they came out and I read the books when I was younger but it just never peaked my interest that much. I did have The Chamber of Secrets game for the GBA as a kid. xD

I'm not really sure how well the game will run on your Chromebook. The mobile version will probably be your best bet, I highly doubt Bedrock edition will run that great on a Chromebook. Like others said, dual-booting with Linux may be your best bet. There's Lubuntu, which is a lightweight version of Ubuntu that you can try out.

Cloud gaming is only good if you have a good internet connection. I think cloud gaming is terrible right now, but in the future it will be better as our internet speeds continue to increase. Where I live I can't rely on cloud based games, my connection just isn't that good. Just look at Stadia, it's dead now. I'm not sure how well Amazon's service, Luna does.

I started playing Tomb Raider (1996) again though this time I'm playing the PC version instead of the Playstation version. There's not much difference, other than better graphics and the ability to save where ever you want instead of only saving when you find Save Crystals. I've been meaning to get some Tomb Raider Level Edits downloaded and playing a bunch of different TR mods.

I got a Wii U brand new a few years after it was released. I though it was cool at the time, if someone in your family wanted to use the TV but you wanted to keep playing your game you could just play it via the gamepad. I just feel like it's name really made sales worse than they could have been. After the huge success of the Wii, it's a shame the Wii U couldn't be as good as it's predecessor.

I hope they don't go down this route. I prefer physical media, but it is probably much cheaper to make all digital consoles. I am not only a gamer but I'm a collector and think it's cool to have physical media that you can see and fire up anytime you feel like it without needing a internet connection to play the game. (Unless the game makes you get online...)

Those Genesis Atgames clones were terrible. They had poor sound emulation so it's no wonder why many people didn't like them nor bought them up. Thankfully Sega made two mini versions of the Genesis, though they can't play actual cartridges like the Shatgames consoles. Plus since these new ones offer better emulation, you can hack them and add your own games. I think you can even add different emulators too.

I prefer horizontal but with my new tv I have to have my PS5 stand vertical otherwise it won't fit on my entertainment center. At least it has a stand, though with it's odd design it needs a stand otherwise it can't lay vertical. :V Even when I had an original PS2 model I never had it vertical, I always think consoles look better lying horizontal.
