    Did you ever JTAG your 360?

    I thought about it but I never did it. I really did not want to mess up my Xbox. It was just too much stuff that could go wrong. Sure, you can do all of those cool mods but you have to consider the risk. If I still had my 360 I may attempt to do it since I have a greater knowledge of technology...

    What Does Everyone Think of the Kinect for the Xbox One?

    The kinect can be useful and useless at some times. Its cool but it loses its novelty eventually. You also have to have the space to use it. You kind of have to shout for it to recognize you.

    Best Gaming Laptop

    For purely gaming I would recommend an alienware laptop. Those can last for a couple years before they become outdated. But alienware is pretty pricey so if you don't want that really any modern laptops can run most games.

    How much time do you spend for mobile gaming?

    That really depends on how I feel at the moment. Sometimes I don't play at all and some times I have intense mobile gaming sessions that can last 45mins to an hour. I usually play games on my PC but sometimes I play on my phone. Sometimes I won't even game on my phone for a week or two. That's...

    PC Gaming Dead? Lol

    PC gaming will never die. There is always going to be a market for PC gamers and for the components that they buy too. Once you start playing on PC, you get hooked. I really got deep into PC gaming earlier this year and I love it. PC gaming has so many perks. I have also enticed one of my...

    Where do you buy your games?

    On PC all of my games come from steam. They have spectacular deals and you don't have to go out to buy a game. As for consoles I usually download my games but occasionally I may buy the disk.

    Games You Are Bad At

    I am terrible in shooting games and sports games. FPS games are just not my type, you have to do stuff so quick and dying is an overactive occurrence for me. I feel that you have to do way too much to be good at FPS games. I never was good at sports in games or in real life. I never really liked...

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

    I don't think I spend more money on Steam than I used to. Sure Steam has some sweet deals but I know how to control myself from binge buying them. I always watch some videos about the game and see what people say about it. Another reason is that I don't have money to waste on games I find that...

    HD DVD player

    I wouldn't even bother to get an HD DVD addon, most movies are bluray. I don't think the kinect is a waste of money. It has some cool features with it. It only is a waste of money when you don't have the space to use it.

    What do you do when you are bored?

    When I'm bored I watch some Youtube or play video games. Boredom rarely strikes me since I am no back in school. Some other things I do when I am bored is to watch a movie or tv show.

    Alternative Controllers

    The new VR headsets are cool but I don't know if people really would want to play with it on for long periods of time. The most I would probably wear it is 45 mins. By that time my neck muscles will be aching from all of the head movements. I would be really excited when you will be able to get...

    Laptop for gaming

    I used to game on a laptop but I don't anymore. When I noticed that my laptop was getting slow I just decided to go for a desktop. You can't upgrade a laptop and usually when I played games it got really hot in my lap. When laptops overheat they have to underclock which means a huge drop in FPS...

    Are simulator games getting old?

    Some may get repetitive but most of them don't. The goal in most of the simulators I play is to become rich so you can buy more items in the game. After I've become rich and have everything in the game I usually stop playing by then, because I feel that I completed it.

    Why the stigma surrounding gaming?

    I think most people that say that don't even play games. Ofcourse there re people that play too much but most people know how to control themselves. Online games can be distracting because I can't stop my game to help my mom with something.

    What is your current phone?

    I have a Galaxy S5 and I've been enjoying it so far. Before I got the S5 I had the S3 and that lagged a little but when I upgraded that was no more. I big and vibrant screen is amazing and the 16mp camera is the best I have ever seen on a smartphone, but when your in low light it can suffer...

    What payment model do you prefer for games?

    I play, buy to play and free to play. I like the buy to play ones better though. I have subscription games because I think it is an awful idea. What if you can't pay anymore, I guess you can't play the game you spent hours on building a good rep. Buy to play games give you everything so you...

    Achievements and trophies?

    Achievements are okay to me. I wouldn't go out of my way to get them. Maybe if I am really close to accomplishing it I will put in the extra effort to get it. I don't see why those hardcore gamers get like 35000+ gamerscore, do they even have a life. I do like the cumulative achievements because...

    Why Chose the Vita over 3DS?

    The vita is for a more mature audience, while the 3ds is for a younger audience. But it all depends on what games you want to play. If you like games like mario then the 3ds is for you, but for everything else the vita is for you. I owned a 3ds for a long time but after I played on a friend's...

    Do you think Microsoft screwed up with the Xbox One?

    I just think they should have had the current ceo when the xbox one was in development. Because the new xbox ceo is just about games and it would have been a totally different console and probably would be just as powerful or better than the ps4. Now they are trying to clean the mess up. They...

    Disk vs. Digital Download

    What do you prefer, buying the disk or downloading the game. They both have their strengths and weaknesses. With the disk you actually get something you can hold in your hand and various manuals and promotions in the box, along with the ability to sell it as well. But disks can get scratched or...
