How's the community for Castle Crashers, still strong? I had a lot of fun playing it awhile ago but I wasn't sure if it would really catch on. If it's still popular I might try it out again.

Acoustic Guitar Instrumentals from Songza. These days I tend to rely on generated playlists more and more, which is nice for introducing you to lots of new music. Unfortunately I often don't catch the names of artists or songs and it can be hard to track down ones that I've liked in the past.

There's been a few gems over the years: Arkham Asylym, Spiderman 2, x-men legends (I think that's the name.. the action rpg ones), and possibly others. I think the real issue is what others have been saying, most superhero games are actually just adaptions for the movies. Generally these are...

I think there is a bit too much gaming among children, especially younger ones. More than a few of my students have been game obsessed and sometimes it becomes an issue. Parents really need to be accountable for their children's media use. I don't think gaming in general is bad, but there...

SNES, PS1, XBOX, and the 360 are the currently functioning consoles I own. I also have a couple of gameboys, including the original one, which still work as far as I know.

A couple of the big ones for me would be Starcraft and Morrowind. The original Starcraft is where I first started playing games online and the community back then was absolutely amazing. I remember listening/watching RWA's by Manifesto7 and others long before the time of "streaming". It would...

Mario and Zelda for me. Mario is pretty much timeless, the graphics and gameplay are pretty much immune to time. The Zelda series has gone through a lot of changes throughout the years but I still think the originals are pretty fun to play.

I used to all the time, even did a few midnight releases here and there. These days I usually don't get a chance to play until the weekend so there's not much point in getting it day 1. It's also nice that these days you rarely ever have to worry about games selling out, especially with the...

Sentimental factors usually keep me from trashing or selling systems, but like others have mentioned it is a big pain to store them places. Occasionally I'll pull out the old PS1 to hit up games like FF7 or Legend of the Dragoon, but

I've never gotten into it myself but I've always heard really good things about it. Rhythm games can be a lot of fun, if not also a little difficult and frustrating.

Maybe choose a short indie game that you can complete in a day or so. Games such as Limbo, Five Night's at Freddies, Amnesia, Dear Esther, Among the Sleep (sorry I like horror games~), etc are all games you could complete in a single day. Alternatively you could always play around with some...

Seems like a good incentive to keep people posting, which is nice because an active forum is a healthy one!

Any love for the oldschool D&D rpgs? There's quite a few of them out there including Neverwinter Nights and Icewind Dale, but the usual favorite is Baldur's Gate. For those unfamiliar to these games, they are based on the older Dungeons and Dragons rule sets which would later be re-adapted...

Also excited for Witcher 3. An amazing series of games with an awesome fantasy world. Unfortunately I'm not sure if my current set up can handle it. Maybe an excuse to upgrade?

I really wanted to get a PS1/2 emulator running so I could play through Legend of the Dragoon again and then try out Fatal Frame 2. Unfortunately I've never been able to get one to work properly.
