  1. Pretty much, everyone. But that’s just because I HATE online gaming in any form. It’s nothing personal. I just can’t stand online gaming.
  2. Controllers all the time. And not just for Xbox, but pretty much any and every system. It’s not hard, and making a few bucks doing it is always welcome.
  3. Easily Link is number one in my opinion. His outfit is so unique. You’re not going to see anything even remotely like it.
  4. How, exactly, does someone get into an esports league? We all see teams just killing it in a competition. But how exactly do you get into those teams? I’ve looked around, but can’t find an exact answer. So I’m hoping someone here can explain it better than a damn google search.
  5. I can cross my eyes, wiggle my ears, and roll my tongue. But the weirdest thing I can do is vibrate my eyes. When, where, and how I learned to do it, I honestly don’t know. The wildest thing is that I’m one of the handful of people who can remember being born. It’s a terrifying experience.
  6. I was an idiot. I was playing with an airsoft gun one night, shooting at cans between 2 rooms. I saw how slow the bb was going. Thus I got curious about just how powerful it was. So I put it on my thigh and fired a shot. I’m pretty sure that I invented a few new vulgarities. @Rain Dew came running to see what was going on. When she saw what I had done, she just turned around and walked back to the bedroom. Like I said; I was an idiot.
  7. I would say trust. Especially if you have never had even one faithful partner. Or if you just have difficulty trusting. I’m in that boat. I’ve never had a single partner who was faithful. Now, even though I love @Rain Dew with all my heart, I still don’t trust her. I’m trying, but my paranoia and expectation that she will cheat, prevents me from trusting her. As for everyone else, I’m not willing. I refuse to trust anyone. It’s not a “can’t”. It’s a “won’t”. It a conscious decision not to. No different that choosing to wear a black shirt. Trust is extremely important, but also, extremely difficult.
  8. I’ve been playing FFVIII since it dropped in 1999. It wasn’t until just a few years ago that I found what works best for me in fights. Physical attacks is where my skills are. Other players will swear by magic, and others still will swear by GF’s. Every gamer has different skills and different play styles. But like I said, it’s all about trial and error. And that’s where the fun lies in my opinion.
  9. If non human life is an option, then I NEVER talk to people. I talk to my companions the most. Poe - bearded dragon Snowflake and Tanflake - doves Sissy - pitbull Prometheus - Rottweiler Lilly - miniature dachshund That’s our house at the moment. I will be getting rats again (emotional need) and a hedgehog. I may be a bitch, but that doesn’t mean I have no love to give.
  10. It’s been available for longer than people think. Back to the days of SNES and Sega Genesis. I know this for a fact, because I used to do it. I would hook up my system through my VCR, and record my gameplay. I would watch it to see what I had missed on certain games. I even got to selling the tapes, because people thought of it as a mostly silent movie. Others just liked watching the “pros” play the same as today. Only difference is that there was no YouTube back then.
  11. I agree. Some of my favorite games were universally hated. But I absolutely loved it. People look at LJN as the worst publisher in gaming history. But I absolutely love a lot of their games. GTA is one of the best selling franchises in gaming. But I hate it. So it should never matter to us as gamers how many copies were sold. The only ones that should care how many copies of RDR2 have sold is the ones working at Rockstar.
  12. This rewind controller sounds like it would only appeal to some crybaby who gets all up their own ass about something that doesn’t even matter. The point of playing games is not to get an automatic redo because you missed out on three cents. I’ve made bonehead moves in every game I have ever played. But that is how you learn. Trial and error. That’s what makes the game fun if you ask me. Building your skills and discovering new things. As everyone knows, RDR2 is my favorite game. But it wouldn’t be if it was an open world game that offered nothing to discover. If I get a bronze rating on some mission, I don’t reset and replay it until I get a gold rating. This is all just my opinion. A lot of people hate my opinions, so this one will likely go that same way.
  13. Great pick. The technical side of FFVIII was leaps and bounds beyond what FFVII had. The cutscenes were the greatest graphics ever seen to that point. We were all wishing that we had games that looked like that as a whole. Well with the AAA titles we have now, that wish has been granted.
  14. While I can’t say that I’ve played it, it’s my understanding that The Lion King was guilty as well. Actually from what I’ve seen, almost all Disney games from that era were like this. Same name. Different game.
  15. I’m not the most educated on the Sega library as I grew up on Nintendo. But Sonic was their mascot back in the days when mascots mattered. Sega had Sonic, Nintendo had Mario, and to s lesser degree, Link. You could say that Atari had Pac-man, but that’s probably pushing it. So almost any title could be a contender for the Sega hall of fame. They all contributed to Sega’s legacy, to a system that was no slouch in any way. Xbox was lucky that they entered the market at a time when mascots no longer mattered. But that also means that they don’t have any specific character that when mentioned instantly takes the person to Xbox.
  16. I don’t think PlayStation or Xbox hold a candle to the Switch. There are thousands of indie titles on the market right now, but they’re often difficult to find. At least my experience with PlayStation tells me that. However with the Switch, they’re everywhere. Thousands and thousands of indie titles and one offs, are rampant. For every licensed title from the major publishers, there are a minimum of 200 indie games. And I honestly think that number is low. PlayStation seems like they prefer to focus on games that are proven to sell. Things like GoW, GTAO, and other AAA titles.
  17. What game had the biggest jump in graphics from its predecessor. I would say SMB2. In other places, SMB2 is what we call the “lost levels” here in the states, and our SMB2 doesn’t exist in said nation. SMB: SMB2: Mario marches like a damn nazi soldier in SMB1, but despite that it’s still one of the best games ever made. And you could pretty much thank Mario exclusively for saving gaming after the video game crash back in 1983
  18. What games have you played that was released on multiple platforms, but was completely different in every way from its partner on other platforms. The one that immediately springs to mind for me is Beavis & Butthead. When they were released they came out on both SNES and Sega, and they came out at the same time. But neither of the games had much of anything in common with its supposed “doppelgänger “.
  19. Obviously Sonic and his allies and enemies are so iconic that no Sega hall of fame could exist without them. Any that tries isn’t a valid lust. That’s like excluding the Mario and Zelda franchises from the Nintendo hall of fame.
  20. Sega’s basketball games were really great. I think I have a couple actually, but I need to get access to my list again as my library had grown significantly since the last time I updated it.
  21. I was always partial to the blue Yoshi. Mainly because he could fly, no matter what color shell he grabbed.
  22. I don’t see what other choice they have. The problem with releasing a hybrid console is that there’s nowhere left to go from there. Nintendo has tried pretty much everything in gaming, to the point that it seems nothing is left.
  23. While OoT was a great game, it’s pure shit compared to the original on NES. But one of the games Nintendo took a very long time to develop was SMB3. The game inspired competitions, movies, and cartoons, just to name a couple things. it was the biggest thing in the world in reference to gaming at that time. Video stores had months long waiting lists to rent it, and stores couldn’t keep it on the shelves for more than a day. People got violent trying to get their hands on it. Some stores actually hired extra security at the electronics department due to the popularity and demand for the game. While other games have landed hard, no game or franchise has ever hit as hard as SMB3.
  24. The most suspenseful scenes vary from person to person. That’s because the most suspenseful scenes are the ones that play on your fears and phobias. For example someone who is claustrophobic would have a hell of a hard time watching The Descent. People afraid of the water would have an extremely difficult time watching Titanic or The Meg. People afraid of heights will have a hard time watching whatever movie gets made about 9/11.
  25. Hockey. Because before you ever pick up a stick, you have to be able to skate. And not just forward, but backwards and sideways as well. For virtually every other sport you only have to be able to stand and walk. Something most people have mastered by the time they’re 3.
