I love video games myself, so I'm not one to talk. I think it just needs to be balanced. Like I said, I remember playing outside a lot. I hardly see kids playing outside these days. I think they miss out. I remember having a lot of fun. Of course, video games can be SO much fun too, but outside...

I've warned kids that if their parents saw what they were typing or heard what they were saying, they'd be in trouble. They usually just laugh at that. Some are like, "you sound like a parent." Yep, I am, and my kid would be so grounded if I observed that kind of behavior. Thankfully, she knows...

I remember playing outside a ton when I was a kid. I just don't see it as much any more. I see so many kids playing video games. PC games, consoles, even on the phone while walking through a store. Of course, it's up to their parents to supervise it. I know my kids could get carried away at...

So, we are snowed in right now, and I'm looking for suggestions for a PC game that I can pick up and put down. I'll probably play more this week, until the weather subsides, but after that I won't have tons of time to devote to it. Are there any good games that you can suggest that are easy to...

I have purchased expansions on release (for WoW). I remember years ago when people still bought games at the store more instead of grabbing the digital. People would wait in line overnight and such to be the first ones to get a game or expansion. I never went that far. I did usually try to...

WoW used to have a much better community, in my opinion. When they started making it more kid friendly, it became more toxic. I think it also has to do with making it more ez mode and all the systems that allow you to basically play on your own (other people might as well be NPCs, as someone...

BARcade is brilliant. I would love to find a bar with all the old favorite arcade games in it. I used to love the arcade. I don't really see arcades making a comeback, but the bars and stuff that have those games should do well. Some of us older people have good memories, so there's the...

That's something else I hadn't thought of... I learned more about computers and I type much faster as well, since I started playing computer games. I feel like it also stirs up creativity. I think about how I would make a game different, or what it entailed to make it the way it is. It just...

Yeah, my kiddo loves the music too. I get the music stuck in my head sometimes from her playing it so much.

I don't usually snack while I'm gaming, unless I skipped dinner or something. I used to sometimes during extended play times, such as when a new expansion dropped. I drink a lot while playing. Wait, that sounded bad. Not alcohol, just drink a lot of liquids like iced tea, water, diet Dr. Pepper...

Arguably, THE best one. I'll do everyone a favor and not call my kid in here to respond, lol. It's her very favorite game of all time, and no harsh word shall ever be spoken against it in her presence. Going to hide now, I think i hear chocobo music.

I know people who would love it, but I don't see it happening. They're all about the bottom line these days, and it probably wouldn't make them as much as some of their other stuff. I'm still waiting for the movie, lol.

The one game I'm really anticipating is EverQuest Next. I'm doubtful that it will be out this year though. It would be nice, but that doesn't seem to be the consensus at this point. Probably more like 2016.

Ok thanks for letting me know. I miss good world PvP. It would be fun to do some again. I also like arenas and battlegrounds. Do they have anything similar to WoW's rated battlegrounds? Do they have arena seasons/competitions? WoW's arena ladders are notorious for cheaters.

Both my husband and I prefer PC gaming. The kids are more into consoles. My husband is unhappy that a lot of games he'd like to play are only available on console. He'd much rather play at his desk, in his big, comfy chair. I really wish more games were available for both, rather than one or...

Thanks, guys, good to know. I do like the way it looks, but graphics aren't the most important part for me. The gameplay comes first. I like some challenge. How is the PvP?

I've heard that it's a lot like WoW. I've been a WoW fan for years, but I'm not as into it as I was. I've been too busy to check Rift out, but I've been thinking about doing it. I might end my WoW subscription for good if I can find another game. Anyone play this game hardcore? Do you...

It has to be engaging. I think it should leave you wanting more. I also think to do that, a game requires a certain amount of challenge. I like hard challenges, but not so much the gimmicky or nearly impossible ones. I want to know that if I keep trying, I can eventually beat something. I don't...

For me it's EverQuestNext/Landmark. The only game I've really played hardcore is WoW, but I could see myself totally getting into EQ Next. It sounds amazing. I can't wait to check it out. I was watching some of the vids, and I can't believe how cool it's going to be. They claim that it's...

I've used legal addons (mods) and I've looked up what some might call "cheats" (easier ways to do things, but I've only used legal ones). I don't see the point in actual cheating or hacking a game. I want to play the game not push an I WIN button.
