I'm happy with my computer and how it runs games, for the most part. I do care about power performance when I play games, but I care a lot more about my computer working for years to come and its general durability/longevity, because at the moment my computer is currently being used for both...

I've done my own logo work before, though I think it's a bit more complicated than what people make it out to be (and how much people are willing to pay for one, honestly...). Almost anyone could do a logo, but it really is a lot more than just text, colors and maybe an image. If you want a...

I try to get up and take a break every now and then, because I do a lot of computer-based work even outside of video game play. I know I'm already showing symptoms of ulnar tunnel in my left arm (Left hand is primary and I draw, too) and want to prevent it along with any eye damage, especially...

I don't love speedruns, and I honestly don't find many of them incredibly entertaining enough to watch in full. However, I've always found ways that players can "break" or otherwise exploit a game fairly amusing and entertaining to some degree (provided we're not talking "hacker uses stuff to...

There are games I just don't miss/generally play enough to keep around, especially because I'm pretty busy nowadays with other things. By that point, even chump change holds more value than the game itself; a digital game simply can't be returned *at all* in most instances.

I'd say that it was possible to play the Wii "hardcore" and quite a few of its games were gems, but that the target audience was not meant for that in general. Most of the use I generally see with the Wii nowadays (because yes, I do see this happening even now) is from the "casual" audience...

For me "where" depends on the type of game I'm picking up. If I'm not sure whether or not I'd like the game enough for keeps, I'll usually pick up a physical copy of a game at a place like Gamestop, Walmart or whichever has the best deal, because those I can physically return and perhaps refund...

I think I ATTEMPTED to get my late mother into playing a game once or twice, but she generally found it pretty difficult due to physical problems (hand injuries after a motorcycle crash in her teens, she was the cyclist), so I didn't really budge the issue much further. Knowing her general...

Though on the flip side, also consider consumer demands in this regard. There have been plenty of instances where if people weren't constantly pushing for a release, you'd have had a more complete game outright instead of a half-done game with DLC that should've been in base. (I'm not saying...

I find a desktop much more suitable for gaming than a laptop is simply by sheer power and price. I don't mind screen size, but I do care quite a bit about performance and you pay much higher prices for performance when it comes to a laptop - not that I don't see laptops as having merit, but I...

I've owned multiple consoles, but only currently am in possession of 4 - two Playstation 3s (they're different models used for different purposes, and at this point I'm seriously considering selling one of them off), a Playstation 4, and a Wii U. I hope to pick up a Switch at some point, and...

There were a few games I was interested in this sale, but ultimately, I only picked up Tabletop Simulator since a bunch of my friends had also wanted to do so at the same time. I'm not exactly flush with cash right now, and I'm sure I can find different uses for Tabletop Simulator in multiple...

My first Playstation console was the Playstation 3. I had my eye on a particular Japanese-only game that was originally only for the Xbox 360 (which is region-locked, and thus would require importing the console too), and it received a port to Playstation 3. Most games on Sony consoles don't see...

I use Windows 10. I do find its constant updating is a bit annoying, but I've never really had any computer-breaking problems worth note with it. As it is, I greatly dislike using Windows 8(.1) and while 7 probably was the best, I think it's more to my benefit to remain up-to-date with Windows...

Considering the thread's years old, I'd argue the question's obsolete. That said, I honestly don't believe a name change would have changed the Wii U's ultimate fate. (I'm also a college student who has no children; I just like the Nintendo-specific properties.) I do personally enjoy the Wii U...
