  1. Another couple games that were a blast to play were Operation Weather Disaster and Skytrip USA. They were educational, but more than fun. Both were PC games.
  2. 34 hours. I made a $200 bet that I couldn't play and replay Zelda: Link To The past for more than a full day (24 hours). Obviously I won the bet. Due to playing the game over and over for so long I didn't touch it for more than a year after. Total burn out.
  3. LOL, I actually live in Columbia. Not the video game Columbia, but that's the name of the town I live in. And you're right. You wouldn't want to live here. For me it would be the world of Final Fantasy 8. The mixture of fantasy and science draws me in.
  4. I like this place because it's open to everything video game related. Also another selling point for me, is that it's a fairly small community. There's not 100,000 people going nuts here, so the conversations carry more weight and stay more interesting. The site is pretty lenient towards letting people be people (for example, language use), so it's a relaxing place to talk.
  5. I've gotten the same warning a few times. Both on my computer and on my phone.
  6. Everyone has their preferred platform. Easy enough. But is there one that you absolutely cant stand? For me it's Xbox. I absolutely hate the system. Remember this is all opinion. The controllers suck, trying to control a character on the systems is impossible, and the system itself is just junk. Overpriced, and under developed. Thanks a lot Bill Gates. Granted I'm not a fan of anything Apple, even though I use an iPhone, but I still hate Xbox.
  7. Missouri is the only place on the planet where you can and will use both your heat and AC in the same day. It's nuts here.
  8. I don't think PewDiePie would have had any involvement whatsoever with something like this. His past actions, while exceptionally stupid, don't make him part of some kind of anti-muslim killing crew. The shooter just shouted out something he either had no idea what it meant, or that he had a personal thing against PewDiePie and wanted to cause problems for him.
  9. The game is simple. Each person makes 3 statements about themselves. Two are true, one is a lie. The next person has to guess which one is the lie. Just don't make it obvious. Don't list your two favorite games then say you've been to the moon. I'll start. 1) I used to be a bull rider. 2) I'm afraid of goats. 3) When I was younger I could put both feet behind my head at the same time.
  10. My body can't take hot temperatures. If it gets much above 65, that's enough heat to make me pass out. Autumn is my favorite season, but I typically do best in winter. During summer I have to have the AC on full blast, and typically can't leave my house very often. Even during the winter I have the AC on a lot. And no, you smart asses, I'm not a penguin.
  11. I don't have a specific title to give, but anything to do with astronomy or the paranormal, with the exception of those goofy ass ghost hunter shows. The only one of those I ever enjoyed was Haunted Collector.
  12. Postal 2 is a good one. Next to impossible to find, but if you can it's worth the money. I don't know if it counts, but Hexen is another one. If you're not familiar with it, think Doom turned medieval. On the N64, it's a blast.
  13. Mario Is Missing was always my favorite educational game. When I played it on SNES, I didn't even know it was an educational game. I just thought it was fun as hell.
  14. Gaming helps with a variety of mental and emotional disorders. It keeps your focus and can often be really therapeutic. For those of us with things like schizophrenia, anxiety, ADHD, and depression it helps a lot.
  15. I personally don't hate them. I don't have a reason to hate them. As for the rest of your question, it's already answered.
  16. NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genesis, Gameboy SP, just a tiny handful of games on PS1 and PS3. But the best system ever developed is still the NES.

    PSP

    Does anyone else still own one of these? I actually have 3 somewhere around my house. I ended up with 3 because I kept losing the damn things. One it the white Assassin's Creed edition. I lost the game long ago, but still have the machine. The only reason I ever got them was to watch movies on it. I played a little God Of War on there but it was movies that got me to it. Actually the PSP was what made me a God Of War fan. I know it's ancient forgotten technology, but I'm just curious if anyone even still has one. Do you use it? I don't have a charge cord anymore so I haven't used mine in probably 8 or 9 years.
  18. That's some psycho shit. Every disc console should support music CD's. They're so simple to play that it's ridiculous to not do it. The only disc console that shouldn't be able to play a CD is the monstrosity known as the Game Cube. Nintendo thought people couldn't copy mini disc's, but were very wrong. Dumbasses. As for people with physical disc's I have over $1500 worth of CD's, and still use them. I play them in my car all the time. I can't stand radio, especially since everything on there is just regurgitated dog vomit. I burn mixes a lot, but I still buy physical CD's too. The most recent one I bought was Disturbed's new album. And I'll keep buying CD's. The same goes for DVD's. Streaming services are great, but all too often they don't have the movies I want to see.
  19. Just a couple weeks ago I bought a PS3 off Craigslist for $150, but it also had 18 games with it. Out of them all I kept 2 and put he rest back up on CL for $35 as a bundle. So older systems are tricky. Sometimes you can find someone willing to pay the money for it, sometimes not. It's a total crapshoot. You might try CL. It will probably sell quicker on there than FB.
  20. I hated Wind Waker. It was just way too cartooney for me. I wasn't a big fan of Twilight Princess, and never even counted Skyward Sword as an actual Zelda game. I haven't played BOTW yet either so I can't consider it on this list. Majoras Mask was good. A pain in the ass, but still good. Ocarina was a really well designed game, and loads of fun. Link To The Past is high on my list as one of the best. Zelda 2 is probably the most difficult in the entire series, and doesn't really keep to the story. But my all time favorite is the one that got the series started. The original Legend Of Zelda on the NES. It was the best they have made. There are other titles in the series that are great, but they just can't match the original. In my opinion no Zelda title ever has or will match or even rival the original.
  21. The last game I played was last night. It was Final Fantasy 8. It's a PS1 game, but I was using one of my PS2's.
  22. I've pre-ordered a few. I pre-ordered The new God Of War that came out on PS4, and I pre-ordered For Honor (gold edition). Elder Scrolls: Elsweyr is coming out on June 4th. When I first saw the trailer for the game on YouTube, I initially thought it was a movie trailer. I'm going to order it when I get a few bucks in my pocket. The pre-order has a lot of extra features, that the regular pick up order won't have. I pre-order series that I'm a big fan of, like God Of War. Other series that I like or games that just look really awesome to me I'll pre-order. But I don't do it often.
  23. Two classics I recommend everyone should read are Pride & Prejudice and War And Peace. I haven't been able to find an unabridged copy in any of the book stores around here, and so far the ones I've found online have been a bit out of my price range. It's been so long since I've read either one, that I honestly don't remember much of either story. One writer I do recommend Ayn Rand. Her writings may controversial to some, but a lot of it is intellectually thought provoking.
  24. I can't say I'm familiar with Vonnegut. Actually I've never heard the name. Steinbeck on the other hand wrote some beautiful stories. I think Of Mice And Men was probably his best. The Grapes Of Wrath was also an excellent story. He's up towards the top of the list or writers I would recommend. He's there alongside Hemingway, King, and Faulkner.
  25. In my personal opinion, Poe is the greatest writer in American history, and also one of the best in the world. His insight into the human mind was something that hasn't been equaled before or since. Especially insanity and misery. He wrote from the darkest depths of his own soul, and created some of the greatest works ever. One of my most prized possessions is a book with all of his works. I have the same with all of Shakespeare's works. If you like sonnets, check out Shakespeare's sonnet 141. It's a great one.
