No way, I am not into tearing apart and building computers - not like I'm into web development stuff. Well, anyway, I still cannot program a forum - just install and modify software. Anyhow, I don't think I'd want to get into making computers - cause it's not my thing and/or interest (I just like shopping for ready-made computers and maybe occasionally modifying the memory/graphics.). Anyway, there is a HUGE demand for such people, and it's tempting from an economic POV (being a PC repairman), but it's not my thing - just like being a surgeon isn't, lol.

Definitely. I'm not hip to the newest games - not like I am with web development stuff. However, it would be cool to be so. OK, when my nephew, , now 10-years-old, would come around - I was more into knowing different titles.

I think people rent as much as before. However, they do It online. Anyway, not sure on this - cause, myself, I always buy every game I play - though I don't play that much!

It can be, of course, but then again, so is the internet. Anyway, it's tough to say where it crosses the line from habit to something insane. Any ideas?

I never could get (as in understand) either Rayman or Paper Mario. Anyway, with the 2nd, a cheat guide might have solved the problem - but with the 1st, it just seemed massively boring with no escape!

I'm not much into gaming. Well, that doesn't mean I don't want to be - but I just see other priorities as being higher. Anyway, as a result, my only console is the original Wii - but I badly want to get either the Wii U and/or the Switch (I am partial to Nintendo due to Mario and Donkey Kong.).

I think every villain has a story, but it might not be enough to make me not destroy them! I mean, what villain - as in anywhere - even out of games - doesn't have some excuse?

Video game violence doesn't bother me. However, if it's in combo with some racist or other abominable theme I would. An example might be some video game of animal cruelty or something.

In regards to PC, not sure about this, but I think the graphics and game play can way exceed a console. Well, actually, considering that the memory and graphic options are so upgradeable on gaming PCs - that's not a guess!

Was only a child - and one living out in the country, in the 80s - so didn't do arcade game. However, though, I do remember this arcade-like war game I really enjoyed in the 90s. Forgot the title and system it was for.

If not my business, then OK - but I'm wondering because it must be worth a million USD or approaching that. Those three letter dot coms are worth that. Anyway, what does VGR stand for?

I can't really say for sure. I mean, I hardly game anymore. However, though, let's just throw in "Minecraft". That seems like something addictive - but then again, I bet Mario could be the same or worse!

Wow. That's amazing! My preference, the Nintendo line, appears to be the last choice among gamers! Anyway, I knew PC were popular - but I didn't know that PlayStation was the only console to remotely challenge it!

Well, actually, a higher memory computer (or upgrade) of perhaps 8 GB - might be enough. There is no need, necessarily, to buy a gaming computer! However, though, I beg to disagree with you that low memory will work for all art (I think that's what you're hinting at.). I mean, I want to do programs like Poser and they need at least 8 GB to be useful I think - or something approaching that.

Why do you think they're those prices? What is the most expensive? Do you feel these prices are justified, why?

What do you feel is the best ones? Why do you make this judgement? What do you feel are the worst ones? Why do you think that way?

I like to make computer 3D art, so visuals highly interest me. Anyway, with games being so advanced generally, it might be hard to pick the best looking ones. Well, what criteria do you use to make your decision?

Eastern Tennessee is mountainous like Wales.

The games I regret buying might be hated due to my lack of knowledge. They would have been Rayman and Paper Mario. Anyway, as I hinted at, some cheat guides might have gotten me thru and/or helped me get more fun out of the starting level.

No, it hasn't expressed my identity. I'm simply not a gaming fanatic - though, I do love creating 3D computer art - the backbone of games. Well, 3D computer art, drumming, and web development are certainly things that define a lot of me.

I have never cleaned the insides of my latest computers, a eMachines and HP. I should do that. It's just laziness really. However, it hasn't really made a difference in performance, though the 7 years of owning the eMachines did lead to moderate dust buildup.

I see it as a bit silly. Well, it's mostly a subjective thing. I don't really see the need for touchscreen stuff - apart from mobile phones - based on my needs. However, I can see why some people might like them. Anyway, for my POV, I pretty much don't like any interface without a mouse.

Based on what I read, gaming laptops are catching up to desktops in all areas - though desktops are clearly better and probably will remain so. Therefore, a laptop could be a good idea for some people - depending on how advanced you want things. So, just for fun, can anyone name these advancements in laptops?

@DylanC looks like my nephew. For a 2nd, I thought it was him. But I didn't think he was into gaming - much less running a gaming forum.

I've been to The Philippines, South Korea, Saipan and spent a few days in Japan.
