Tell me your favorite boss, out of all the bosses you've ever had to fight in any game ever. :tearsofjoy: Tall order, I know. I can't really think of a favorite boss of mine, though I thought all the bosses in Dark Cloud 2/Dark Chronicle were awesome. What are some of your favorite bosses?

I love the soundtrack for Battleblock Theater - it's really upbeat most of the time and easy to enjoy. I also really like the Silent Hill soundtrack, the ominous and eerie sounds of that OST suit the game so perfectly. I don't know that I'd listen to the Silent Hill soundtrack very much outside...

I play for both, too, but it depends on the game. There are some games where there is absolutely no challenge at all and I still love them, and other games that are super difficult for me and I still love them. It depends on my mood too. Sometimes, I'm in the mood for a challenge, and sometimes...

It's impacted my personal life in that it gives me and my friends / me and my significant other something to bond over. Other than that, it hasn't impacted my life much. I've never been the sort of person to get really addicted to video games, so I've never had to worry about it taking over my...

Me too! When I saw the title of this thread, The Sims was the first thing that came to mind. I tend to binge play it, and then I get burnt out and have to take a break, but I've certainly never thought I wouldn't ever play it again or I would be permanently tired of it. The only thing about The...

I usually just play games in bed or at my desk, haha. Buying gaming gear has never been a real priority for me, but I will say that having a nice headset makes a lot of games much easier. Honestly, I've never even heard of a gaming chair - what makes it special for gaming? Does it help with your...

GTA Vice City for the PS2, mostly for reasons of nostalgia. I remember being younger, drinking *way* too much Dr. Pepper and playing that game all night. Good times. :tearsofjoy: San Andreas is a close second, and in terms of recommending a title to anyone who hasn't played GTA before, I'd...

I have that emulator, and I love playing it, I just missed the feel of playing the GBA like I was younger, you know? There's something nostalgic about it, and like PenguinManiac said, I think it's just a generally really good device. There are also some really great emulators for the PC - I...

Yes! Definitely try it, if you liked Castle Crashers I have a feeling you'll really love it. Keep me updated on how you're liking it! It's very different from Castle Crashers, and a lot more puzzle-oriented from what I can tell. Though, I'll be honest, I'll need to play Castle Crashers again to...

Long Live The Queen is pretty casual. There's definitely strategy involved, but I don't think that casual games are necessarily synonymous with easy games at all. It's a single-player game that you can play at your own pace, and it doesn't actually take any "skill" for lack of a better word -...

I play a healthy mix of free and paid games on my PC. There are a ton of fun, simple browser games that I'll play just to pass the time. A lot of them are really nostalgic, too - reminds me of being a kid and getting access to the computer lab in school. We'd always finish our work as fast as we...

I like single-player, simulation, casual games the most. I get super stressed out when doing more intense gaming, and though I do enjoy it from time to time, I think I'm always gonna prefer playing cozier games by myself than getting yelled at by dudes through a headset, hahaha. Part of it has...

From what I understand, it's harder and much more costly to purchase the games for vintage systems than it is the systems themselves. Not so much if you're only interested in getting back into bigger titles, but when it comes to more niche games, I have a feeling you'll be paying an arm and a...

Paint Tool SAI for sure. I like Photoshop fine, but I'm much more familiar with SAI, and I've used it since I was first getting into digital art. At this point, the controls are pretty second nature to me, so it feels weird using anything else. I will say, my Wacom came with a trial of Autodesk...

I just use a $9 miniature wireless mouse from Walmart. My hands are kinda small. :sweatsmile: Seriously, though, I don't play games intensive enough to warrant a more advanced or expensive mouse. At least, I don't think I do. What advantages are there to larger gaming mice? I figure they're...
