    It's the last day of the winter sale, what did you get?

    Nothing this year. None of the games really caught my eye, but there's other sales to tap into later.

    The worst steam winter sale ever? Or am I just jaded

    I think this year was kind of a wash as far as blockbuster titles being released. Also as for the indie games and whatnot, I personally already own most of the ones I'm interested in. I wouldn't say the sale was a wash, just it didn't have much to offer to those who already had most of what they...

    Elder Scrolls Online and Rumors of a move to FTP

    It's been a while coming because of the fact that the game didn't live up to what it promised. I don't mind micro transactions as long as they take the GW2 approach with lots of vanity items and account enhancements such as more bank slots, character slots, exp boosters for leveling, ect. Also...

    Casual Gamers

    I'm a little more on the hardcore scale because of the competitiveness that I get on certain games. I've been part of raid teams that were fighting dozens of other teams to get server firsts and get their names on World of Logs, ect. A hardcore is someone who devotes themselves completely to...

    What makes a video game great and why?

    Generally storyline and mechanics are a huge reason to play a game. Character development is up there as well. Graphics are just the icing on the cake because I've played plenty of amazingly well engaged indie games that didn't have the best graphics, but had some phenomenal narrative...

    Is mobile games gonna kill handhelds?

    No. It's like comparing apples to oranges honestly. Mobile phone games are generally more aimed for casual gaming experiences versus handhelds which are built for more diversity and depth. Then there's the fact that a smartphone can only do so much because it's a multi purpose device. And even...

    Arcade Games

    I miss the old arcades, I remember my early 90's childhood hanging out in the arcade after my figure skating lessons in Cali. The last one in WA that closed down was back in 2005-6. Prior to that, the Everett Mall had one that was still kicking up until about 2002. These days a few movie...

    Has music changed very much with PC games

    Music in the gaming industry has changed in general. What used to be considered background noise has become art pieces. Japan was the first to massively push for emphasis in music in games, an idea I think they borrowed from their anime industry. Western companies for a long time had a very...

    What Genre of Game Do You Like Better?

    RPGs because of the world, characters and storylines. MMOs are a close second because they combine the elements of RPGs with the social interaction. Coming last would be RTS, Tower Defense and Action/Platform. FPS can be fun in the case of like TF2, but as an overall genre, to me it gets boring...

    The "Fake Gamer Girl" idea needs to die now, please

    Haha. Well, it used to be a male dominated kind of entertainment because it was generally aimed at boys and men. For years you'd see advertisements with boys playing the systems and never girls. It wasn't until the 90's that there was a start in a growing shift. My mother initially purchased...

    If you could choose a company as a sponsor for your pc gear, who would it be?

    Coke because that's the only soft drink I honestly drink and Google because they do interesting stuff.

    Have Games taught you anything?

    Yeah having to manage a ton of people in raid situations and even regular day to day activities with a guild is a tedious job. I used to manage and run a large guild in GW2 before I stepped down. I already have to deal with a small staff in real life, manage my own personal household and adding...

    Have you ever hacked/cheated in a game?

    Depends. I admit that I've level botted in the past on a few MMOs, but that's generally because I hate re-leveling new characters and considering that I had to level on multiple servers, it was tedious and time consuming. To be fair I was raiding for multiple servers/guilds at the time and on...

    WOW expansion - free for 10 days?

    You'll get hooked haha. It's a matter of time. The garrisons are an interesting addition, I just wish that I could add more buildings! They've also made questing more bearable with the leveling potions you can purchase with garrison resources. The free 10 days is definitely a call to lure old...

    Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 4

    The games are fun as a casual kind of thing but even though I do enjoy them, the hours played total doesn't justify paying full retail price on release. I tend to get Naruto games used or on a sale, I burn through storymode in like 10 hours, unlock characters in another 8 and after that it gets...

    Do you think games are worth their current retail price?

    There's a balance that needs to be met. We expect quality product from AAA games, but there are instances where a company gets extremely greedy and alienates their customer base because of it. I'd be happy to drop money on a game, but I want the guarantee that it'll be a complete game and that I...

    What PC game in your opinion has the best community?

    Years ago I played some TF2 on my ex's account and enjoyed the game. The community was pretty chill and interesting. I found that there wasn't much malicious immaturity that's found in MMOs or games like LoL or XBox Live...There were even servers dedicated to doing silly things from reading...

    Still Playing PS2?

    I still play the PS2 from time to time because it was the best console of its generation for a reason. There's tons of games that I haven't played completely through yet and also there's tons of titles that I enjoy replaying. Then there's the nostalgia factor added to it.

    Is it worth it?

    I'm personally waiting a bit before getting one. For one, manufacturing will get better so the prices will drop and secondly there's less bugs and issues with later runs. I've been a long time Playstation fan so it's one console that I drop money on. However right now the console being almost...

    Wondering why some Games aren't available on PC

    Well there's also company contracts to take into account. For example there's usually agreements between studios and console companies to make console only exclusives which is why we'll never see a PC port of the same game. It's simple business. Console companies want to stay competitive and the...
