    Who Even Plays Their Nintendo Wii?

    I not only play Wii still but play the game that came with it: Wii Tennis, probably the most fun game of all time to play with people. When it came out I thought that it was addictive because motion sensors were a fad back them, but no, turns out that this game was not just a demo for this...

    Can you name a game that performs better on other platforms?

    PCs will always outperform consoles if you use cutting edge hardware and are competent enough to put it together, but, in all fairness, I think there is an argument to be made about comparing performance and graphics on a pound for pound basis, specially when it comes to comparing prices...

    When did you start playing Minecraft?

    About 1 year ago, so, very recently, I started it out of pure curiosity, I just wanted to know what the buzz was about, I tried the demo first and was instantly hooked, after playing for about 6 months and reaching some milestones (mining obsidian, visiting the nether, farming, building red...

    What are some good games you can play over and over again?

    I still play Quake 3 from time to time, I no longer play online (you can still find people playing!) I simply play against the machine, not very challenging but also relaxing, I also play the original Counter Strike with some bots, I don't know why but I find online playing to be very stressful...

    Where do you find your older games?

    I loved this mental image of going to an actual physical store a go trough the stands grabbing and looking at very old NES or SNES games and all kinds of old memorabilia. When you said that such places existed I was excited, the idea sounds really awesome. I love going to interesting stores of...

    At what age did you get your first console/PC?

    I actually don't remember, one of my earliest memories is playing with the Atari 2600 that my parents had at home, actually I believe that this console predated my arrival to the house! Those games were, and continue to be, quite fun! So, I've been playing video games for a long time. My first...

    Amazon Holding out On Gamers

    Well, you can always go and use the 30 day free trial that Prime offers you to buy the game you want and then promptly cancel the whole thing once you get it.My guess is that they expect a lot of people to do that and never cancel the thing out of pure apathy or because they end up liking the...

    Where do you find your older games?

    I really doubt that I am going to find such store where I live so I am probably stuck buying online on eBay cragislist or stuff like that. If anything I see myself buying used games since I am not a collector. I get the excitement of buying a new vintage game with the original packaging and all...

    What I hate about pc gaming

    I am stuck with a 360 also, but because I was never compelled to buy an Xbox ONE, none of the new games interested me that much, even Halo 5 was kind of a meh to me since I stopped enjoying the series with Halo 4 or by the time that Bungie was no longer involved, so the magic was gone. I don't...

    What's your opinion of "Freemium" Mobile Games?

    I only have a problem insofar as they create a game that basically deceits you into believing that it could be possible to advance on your own without having to buy any powerups. I am ok with other people buying them, I don't care about that I only want to challenge myself but if they create a...

    Which was your favorite version of Fifa, and why?

    I have a soft spot for FIFA 98 because it was the first one I played. It was for the PC yet I think that FIFA was a perfect match for consoles and not PCs, the graphics are, of course, very outdated by now, but, nevertheless, it was a really fun game since it was more arcade than simulation as...

    Where do you find your older games?

    Can you point me to an actual brick and mortar store that sells very old school games like NES or even N64 games? I mean some stores exist that sell Vinyl records so I am not saying that this is impossible but, as awesome as it sounds, I don't know if such a store could exist and sustain itself...

    Do you wait for discounts?

    I don't. When a game is not interesting enough for me to buy it right away I simply try to buy it used. That's why I hate this trend from publishers and developers where they are trying everything in their power to kill the second hand market. I also never pre order, I think that's a huge waste...

    My first Gameboy moment

    I never had one, so my Gameboy memories are related to borrowing one from some friend and playing it for as much as I could before I had to give it back. It was frustrating but we could not afford one, so much so that the first gaming console that I bought once I had the money was a nintendo...

    What I hate about pc gaming

    You have to be a person with a very strong sense of responsibility :) I can't do any work on the same computer where I play. I actually work from home too and I solved this issue by simply having 2 computers, one is the very powerful gaming rig, the other one is a small computer that I simply...

    Halo 3’s Last Easter Egg Is A Gift From My High School Friend To His Wife

    Well, I guess this guy read the teaser and was able to narrow it down to the loading screen since the developer hinted that the thing was there, I could also speculate that the guy knew that the thing was related to the developer's wife so maybe he was able to narrow it down even more by finding...

    What's your opinion of "Freemium" Mobile Games?

    The whole freemium thing only is problematic when you can pay your way around it purchasing power ups that allow you to beat the game more easily, I can understand buying more lives, that makes sense, but once you add a way to basically cheat by buying stuff in game I lose all interest. Call me...

    Do you spend money on gaming gear?

    Well, that's actually the kind of gear that I would spend money on if I had it, I was talking about buying these super duped "gaming" keyboards or a mouse full of buttons, or the special mouse pad that only the "professionals" use, but actual simulation stuff like steering wheels its quite cool...

    What video game console did you spend most of your childhood with?

    It is probably a tie between the old school NES and the Nintendo 64 although I don't know if I was a child anymore by then. I do remember the NES as being more of a personal thing, there were a few multiplayer games but usually it was all about playing solo while the Nintendo 64 was a lot more...
