I think the one game that made me rage quit the most was Cuphead. I have played many games over the years that have been frustrating and have made me rage a little but Cuphead definitely took the top spot. In fact, since the last time I played Cuphead and rage quit I have not been back on it since.

I will admit I was not expecting to see an Oreo Xbox today but some days can be full of surprises! I will admit that does look really cool though and I do like what they have done with the Xbox and the Oreo as well. Do I think this is showing that they are running out of ideas? Definitely not, it's something unique and different that no one else has done before and in a lot of cases, that is what Xbox and Microsoft like to do. Xbox still seems to sell well and their Game Pass service is still quite popular so I do not think they are running out of ideas but more trying new things.

As much as I have really enjoyed video games and I have been known in the past to spend hours on games such as Fortnite and also Destiny 2, I wouldn't say that I have ever become so addicted to these games that coming away from them was a huge problem and affected my social life or even my life in general. I feel as long as you understand and know that you need to take a break and you are able to get up and do that without any issues, you should be fine.

As much as it would be possible for a game like manhunt to come out today I do feel it would get mixed reaction from many. Most gamers would love for it to be released today and wouldn't bat an eye but then you would get some people who would see the game and take it too far and that would change everything. Even though it is only a game, there will always be someone who takes it too far.

The last game I played was Roblox and it was a Restaurant Tycoon game that I played again. Little different to Restaurant Tycoon 2 that I was playing a little while back but enjoyable to sit and play in between other things.

Last game I played was Restaurant Tycoon 2 on Roblox on Xbox. I tend to play games like this in between me working so I take the breaks I need so I do not get burned out. It's quite a fun game if you are in to Tycoons!

I personally wouldn't say that gaming takes over TV for me but then again I don't watch too much TV and any TV that I do watch, I can't say that I have ever had the urge to want to take over like I would in a game and change things. I believe gaming and TV watching are two separate things and I love to watch TV shows for the storyline where I do not know what is going to happen, with stories if you are making the decision, you are going to know what happens and that is where I see a difference.

Buying used consoles that come back banned/suspended
Shortie replied to Kane99's topic in Gaming Forum
I will admit, I am very wary when I buy used consoles and usually only go to places I know test them and check them well and so far I have never run into this issue when buying any used console. It is a shame though that you will get some sellers that will do this just for the money as they will not suffer for it, the buyer will. -
The term cool is something that I have always looked at as being someone who is popular maybe because of their opinions or because of what they have or what they wear. I always remember in school there would be students who were classed as being cool because they had the latest phone or the latest game or console or were wearing the latest trends.

Delays are very much good for sure as that means they are still working on perfecting the game, as long as the developer stands their ground and does not give in to people complaining about the delay then it should be fine and they should be able to stay on schedule. I will admit though, sometimes it can be frustrating if it is a game you are eagerly waiting for and because of that, it often does make you wonder why they end up announcing a release date so early on.

You Could Brick The Nintendo Wii U Just For Not Using It
Shortie replied to Kane99's topic in Gaming News
I don't have a Wii U anymore myself as we ended up selling it not too long after we got it as we were not that interested in it after a while and thought it was a flop from Nintendo. For anyone who does have one though, I am sure there will be places that they can take it to for it to be repaired for a fee. It's a shame that it ends up bricked though if sat doing nothing for a while. -
Do people still subscribe to services like Gamefly?
Shortie replied to Kane99's topic in Gaming Forum
I remember I used to hear about Gamefly a lot but nowadays I don't really hear as much about it anymore. You would think that if it was still as popular as it was, many people would still be talking about it as with anything that is popular at the time. -
What is the most unusual feature you have seen on a smartphone?
Shortie replied to killamch89's topic in Mobile
I always remember this myself back when I had a Windows phone. The phone was great, don't get me wrong and I still have it stored somewhere in the house and I know it still works but as you say it very soon ended up broken and no longer worked as it should. It was nice to have everything in one place when it did work though, it's a shame Microsoft has a track record of breaking good things. -
I would definitely have to go with the alarm that goes off if you walk a certain distance away from your phone, not only would I find that hilarious but I also feel it would help me greatly on the amount of times I put my phone down and forget where I put it. Once I walked away from it by a certain distance it would call out to me and I wouldn't have to look high and low wondering where I left it LOL

I have the Huawei P30 Pro and when I am playing certain games I find I struggle sometimes. As much as I am able to play, hitting the right area on the screen can sometimes be difficult I have found depending on the screen size. A few years ago I did have a tablet that I was using for games and it was a 10 inch screen. I found that much better to use for playing mobile games than my phone but unfortunately, the laptop battery died on me and I have not been able to replace it.

What was it like seeing people play video games for the first time?
Shortie replied to Kane99's topic in Gaming Forum
It was my kids that I experienced playing a video game for the first time. Namely Toy Story 3 was the game they first started playing and they had a lot of fun with it. Seeing their faces light up when they completed tasks or when they completed missions was really nice to see. As they got older, Fortnite was the one I also loved seeing them play for the first time. Nothing beats that first win you get on Fortnite when you start playing and the joy on any kids face when they do it is amazing! -
The last game I played was Fortnite for the new season, Chapter 4 Season 2: MEGA. So far I am really happy with the new season and I feel they have taken this season in a new direction. The first season of Chapter 4 was okay but I did lose interest part way through I will admit. I am hoping that Epic Games keeps things going well even with the updates through season 2.

When it comes to games that have both a main story and side quests I like to play through the main story and complete side quests as best I can during the main story gameplay but if I still have a lot of side quests left after completing the main story, I don't mind going back through and completing the side quests that are left as long as I enjoyed the game on my first play through.

At the moment I use both Gmail and Hotmail for all my emails. I have three accounts on Gmail, one is personal, the other one is business and another one is for forums that I join so that I can keep everything separate, My Hotmail email is connected to my Xbox account so everything that comes into my emails from my Xbox account goes into there keeping it separate from any other emails.

When it came out that they were trying to make it so that women didn't have a say on what would happen to their own bodies when it came to abortions that was enough for me and it annoyed me. Many women choose that option for more than just birth control and it should be her right to do so. I agree that if a woman consistently gets pregnant and uses abortion as a way of birth control that should be stopped, that is never what it should be used for but in this day and age to suggest that executing women for having an abortion may be possible is beyond how far I thought it would ever go. It really does feel like the world is going backwards.

As someone who was brought up with parents and family members who hated any kind of racist words or racial slurs I am a firm believer that they should never be used. All too often many people feel that they can use racial slurs just because many others do or because they have heard others use it towards someone else thinking it's fine or normal to do so. I now have kids myself and I have told them that I will not tolerate any kind of racial slurs or racial comments and I have often in the past caught them using them randomly in public because they have heard their friends say it. You never know how someone may react if they hear you use a racial slur whether it be towards them or not.

When it comes to books being available on the internet, I do feel that they should all be available on the internet so that you have a choice as to whether you would like them to be either physical copies or online copies. In terms of them being free, I don't believe they should be unless the author of the book decides to make them free. Many authors put hours and even works of work into writing books and I do believe they should receive something for their work unless they choose not to.
