I feel like this is definitely the danger of staring at screens for too long. Even outside of games, when I'm doing work or watching videos on the computer a headache and/or nausea is inevitable for me. I feel like flux helps a lot, at least, with my headaches, especially if I leave it on (even...

To be honest I don't think I have a good explanation, they're just really anxiety-inducing for me. I get as nervous as I do when I'm playing horror games...maybe it's the suspense aspect of getting caught that's too much? Either way I feel like I've usually only had the mental fortitude to try...

The first thing that comes to mind are definitely sneak missions. Those make me want to scream, also because they honestly stress me out. I don't know why, but I get so nervous during missions where I'm supposed to be sneaking around...which generally results in me shaking and messing up...

I feel like the beauty of rhythm games is that they're so versatile. Depending on which game you're playing, you have complete control over the difficulty, and have the ability to turn it up or down. I honestly love rhythm games because you can feel yourself improving with the more games that...

I feel like it depends on the game for me. Since I mostly just play PC games, in my case if it's heavily story-based then I'll probably get distracted by that and not care as much about achievements and such. But for games like Civ that have really fun achievements and have really high replay...

Wow, this question really took me back. I definitely started on the Reader Rabbits when I was little, and then played some Command & Conquer Generals with my dad, which I consider to be my first real PC game...also Speedy Eggbert, which I'm pretty sure I absolutely loved. Looking back now, that...

So fun watching people mention C&C! I have fond memories of growing up playing that with my dad, we were both pretty huge fans of it. I do definitely love any type of game that requires even a bit of strategy or thinking--flash room escape games are always fun to return to, and I absolutely...

Reading these posts are making me hopeful that the Wii won't truly die for quite some time. I definitely remember it was the one console that everyone could gather around--gamer or not--and was a fun place for the kids to gather during family dinners and BBQs while all the adults were talking. I...

That's interesting, actually, what are you comparing it to? Because at least for me, there are plenty of 3DS titles coming out currently that are quite interesting, and promises of more in the next few years. I feel like the portability factor is definitely something that the Switch is trying to...

In all honesty, I usually only stop playing when I feel nauseous / tired from staring at a screen and sitting still for hours on end. Otherwise, sneaking in a little bit here and there between obligations is nice, but is also probably a bad habit that I should break.

Thank you so much for your input, I'll see how my parents feel about any of these options. We have tried giving him some rewards for doing chores / homework to save his grades, which does work in getting results, but I'm still worried about the root of his addiction. At the same time I know that...

I grew up loving the old Pokemon games, but I feel like the newer titles have less replay value for me which is upsetting. I've replayed Crystal dozens of times since getting it when I was young, but for some reason I've only played X/Y and Sun/Moon one time each, and feel like that's more than...

I definitely agree, I feel like I spent most of my childhood years being addicted to games. What are some ways that you guys feel gaming addiction can be overcome (or at least managed)? Asking because I have a younger sibling right now that's spending an inordinate amount of time on the...

My brother is almost a decade younger than me, but we both love video games. The unfortunate thing is that we like very different types of games, but since I'm older he does try to follow in my footsteps and find games that we can play together--it's led him to downloading Portal and...

It can be a little hard depending on how you want to do it (with or without jailbreak). My phone isn't jailbroken but I have GBA4iOS, and it runs perfectly.

I bought all three games bundled together during a Steam sale, but have only gotten to finishing Infinite. The soundtrack was absolutely amazing and I loved Elizabeth--I'll admit the ending didn't do much for me, mostly because I played it all in one sitting was so confused by that point that I...

GBA emulators work amazingly on my phone. It can get a bit fussy if you have an iPhone, but the controls have always been really easy to work in my experience. When I want to relive my old Pokemon days, I just throw a rom on my phone and play it casually on the bus. Much preferable to digging...

I feel like the Switch is versatile enough + will be receiving enough attention from Nintendo to justify buying it over the Wii U. I'm not a huge fan of Mario Kart, but the new one is amazing. Arms is also ridiculously fun, given what I've played of it so far. Not sure if it'll get to Splatoon...

When I'm really into a mobile game? I can spend ages. I was definitely one of the people wandering around outside for hours after Pokemon GO dropped (sad that it's fallen out of popularity since) but I'm definitely guilty of following the trends as they rise...I fell for FE Heroes and Magikarp...

The Okami soundtrack will forever be my favorite. I'm a huge fan of traditional Japanese music and instruments, and I get a huge kick out of working to the Okami soundtrack. In a similar vein the Fire Emblem Fates soundtrack is incredible, despite what a disaster that game turned out to be. On...
