    ps3 vs ps4

    Personally, I think it's still a bit too soon to upgrade. If you're hesitant, than simply wait. The PS4 isn't going anywhere. The longer you wait, the cheaper it will get, and the more games you'll have to play for it when you finally do get it. The PS3 is still a very strong system, so make...

    Reasons for not buying a PS4 just yet

    Totally agree. A new consoles usually has mediocre launch games, possibly could have shoddy hardware, and it's also the most expensive it will ever be. The PS4's price will only go down from there, the hardware will only get better, and there will only be more and more games to choose from...

    One vs 360

    Up until this generation, I used to always get systems basically the day they came out. But, looking back, I hardly played my new consoles until about a year later. I got the PS1 around launch, but spent a lot of time still playing my SNES. Got PS2 around launch, but mainly used it to play...

    Why the stigma surrounding gaming?

    It's just a lot easier to blame video games than to actually take responsibility for violent children. Millions of people play violent games like GTA, but only a handful of them actually go do something violent. It has nothing to do with the video game. It has more to do with that child's...

    Still Playing PS2?

    I think ever since I bought a PS3, I stopped actually playing on my PS2. I still do play games occasionally. I had a backwards compatible PS3, so I continued to play on it for a while. Unfortunately it died on me about a year ago, but now I'm at the point where I have enough to play on my PS3...

    Fun non-violent multiplayer titles?

    I hope not. If Microsoft is smart, they will leave Minecraft as is. I don't think they acquired the game just so they can make it 'mainstream'. The game is already hugely successful as is, so the best thing to do would be just to leave it, and let it continue to be successful. Maybe they...

    Older Gamers

    It doesn't matter to me at all. Personally, I prefer to play with people I know IRL over anyone. If I don't have anyone in real life to play with, then I don't care, as long as they act mature when I play with them. What is consider 'older' to you, by the way..lol. I'm turning 29 this...

    What payment model do you prefer for games?

    Hmm.. that's tough. I feel like, gameplay-wise, a pay to play is the most fair. Then it feels like no one has a real advantage over someone else. I've only really gotten into a handful of MMOs, though. I played Runescape as my first, then Conquer Online, then Evony (MMORTS), and now I'm...

    Most played games?

    For me, up until MGS4, it was the MGS series. I played the hell out of MGS1-3. I also thought 4 was amazing too, I just got to the point where I was exhausted from the series. I honestly haven't even attempted to play the new MGS that came out. Normally I would be all over every new...

    Why the stigma surrounding gaming?

    That annoys me the most. I bet a lot of those people that view gaming as a lazy mans hobby wouldn't think twice if all those hours of gaming were spent watching netflix all day instead. In my eyes, there is no difference between netflix and gaming. Gaming can actually be a bit more social and...

    Anyone else get motion sickness from games?

    I've never experienced it, but I've heard it can be common with FPS games, which makes sense. I don't know if there is any way around it, which kinda sucks. Is there a particular type of game that causes this for you, or is it just random? Maybe it helps having a smaller sized TV, or...

    What PS4 game are you looking forward to in 2015?

    Uncharted is, by far, my most anticipated game. I'm tired of games being dumbed down so they can have 360 and PS3 ports. Naughty Dog are talented developers, and they will do wonders with the PS4 when Uncharted comes out. They did some amazing stuff with the PS3 when no one else could. Also...

    Fun non-violent multiplayer titles?

    Do you have a PS3? LittleBigPlanet is a fun little game for couples to play. Very easy to get into, not violent at all, and I think it's enjoyable for gamers and non-gamers. A lot of fun if you have 4 of you playing. Aside from that, Minecraft might be a good one as well, as someone already...

    Achievements and trophies?

    99% of the time, I don't care for them. I hate how some games just give you a trophy just for doing something you're supposed to do like completing a certain level. I'd prefer it if there were less trophies, but there were super challenging. Then they would actually mean something when you...

    Is Steam making you spend more on games than you used to do?

    I agree regarding the double-edged sword. On one hand, it's great that so many reasonably priced games are available to me, but all the sales and huge selection just make me spend more. I'd say I get more bank for my buck these days, but more buck is being spent. Doesn't help that it's so...

    Whats your favorite FPS ever?

    I'm not much of a shooter fan. I prefer to play for the story. So, with that said, I think the Half Life series easily takes the cake for me. I can't decide if I like 1 or 2 better. 1 was very new to me, so I didn't have my expectations going into it, but it was an amazing game. Half Life 2...

    What is your current phone?

    I have a Nokia Lumia 920. I do love it, but it's about due for an upgrade. Problem is, I don't see anything compelling from Windows Phone that makes me want to upgrade. Maybe I'll wait until next year. I'd imagine they have something big planned for whenever they release Windows 10.

    R.I.P. Naruto :'(

    I tried getting into the Naruto Anime years ago, but it frustrates me when a show just goes on with no end in sight. Is the manga just over or will the anime finish as well? If there is a defined ending, I'd be eager to try it again.

    Have you seen the Overwatch Trailer? A must see upcoming FPS from Blizzard!

    I love that Blizzard is able to give different gaming experiences and succeed really well. I played the hell out of Starcraft, which was an RTS. Then I got into Diablo 2, which was an RPG. Then World of Warcraft which was an MMO, and now they are giving us an FPS. Very impressive. Much more...

    How much time do you spend on internet?

    Way too much. It's crazy to think that I lived in a time without the internet (I got it when I was in the 6th grade). When I work, I'm on a computer, so that is about 8 hours a day of work/play. Then after work, I probably still spend another hour or so just leisurely surfing. Most of my...
