    Games to look out for?

    Dreadnought this year, June. I can't wait. 5 v 5 ship wars, beautifully animated? Watch this and tell me you wouldn't at least think about giving it a shot. And guess what? It's going to be Free-2-Play. Hell. Yeah.

    Where is everyone?

    I've been everywhere. From early UO Beta, to EQ1 BETA/Launch, I've been around MMOS since early 96'-98' online, even going back as far as playing "MUDs" or multi user dimensions, coded in smaug. Those were fun too. I've been drifting for awhile. You name it, I've probably played it at least...

    Is anybody playing Rift?

    I really liked their pvp, and I played on a pvp server. Some may disagree, but it was no different really. Arenas. Battlegrounds. I'm sure they added more since I left, which was before the first expansion. I played up until their "vanilla" endgame boss, the Dragon "Greenscale" in his raid was...

    MyGamer Credits

    it's not a bad idea. At first most people will be like "why can't I use the features I'm used to?" And then they'll realize becoming active is the only way to truly get into the forum and have the experience they're looking for. It will weed out the ones who just come to spam.

    Have Games taught you anything?

    Yes. They've taught me strategy. When something is beyond me, when it's trivial and below me. They've taught me friendship and family values (guilds and parties) and they've taught me even inside a video game, you still need a job (tradeskills). They've also taught me how to solve puzzles and...

    Is anybody playing Rift?

    It's pretty much like WoW with their own draw; The rifts. They spawn in real-time as your doing normal journal or questlog missions. Sometimes you don't even need to do quests or mainline story - I max'd a character out by jumping rift to rift as they opened. Even sometimes there are "META"...

    Classic PS1 Games

    Another couple I forgot to mention: Legend of Dragoon Parasite Eve The Spyro franchise. Man, Ps1 had a lot of GOOD games.

    Who or what would you like to cosplay as?

    Hughes from FMA. A military outfit isn't too hard to do, but I would look overweight as his role. Not a care given. A state alchemist, or someone from that. Barring that, Kamina from TTGL.

    Your favorite souls game

    Dark Souls 1 is where I started, so I have a love for it. I tried Demon Souls, and if I had played that beforehand I probably would have switched my opinion. Haven't tried two for lack of money and waiting on a sale.

    Whats your favorite FPS ever?

    Favorite ever? Easy. Goldeneye 64'. I hosted so many Goldeneye parties, and I always played Oddjob so people hated me as they had to aim down to hit him. For a game back then, that multiplayer was like the frontier for current FPS's. Since then, such games as CoD and Halo have emerged, making...

    Child of Light

    This game was very beautiful, from the time I loaded it, til' the time of all the sidequests to garner additional party members (I'm looking at you, clowns) it held my interest the entire time as an RPG. My only gripe is the chapters are too short and the content is too limited. I like the...

    Zelda, the 2015 VERSION!

    I have no idea. They are silent on that topic. All I know is they continued the same motions that WII used for Skyward sword and that animation looks like a mixture. I hope it's aptly named though, and not something we've seen before.

    Freelancer

    It was an old microsoft game in the vein of space exploration, jumping holes, and going from planet to planet working your way through ships. It was very fun, but very obscure and not many people remember it. For a game made back in the day that virtually had no advertisement, it was very very...

    What are you guys listening to right now?

    90's music indeed is my favorite too. Come on. This just makes you want to dance, or at least sing along. Not many newer songs do that because it's all "Bitches and hoes this" and "I wanna F you this way" ...it's gotten less about music lately and more about screaming to a beat.

    Games to look out for?

    waiting for Street Fighter. I've played so much SF4:AE and UE that I can't just wait for the newer version of all that KICKASS in one spot. Another game I'm waiting on is Zelda (2015) after all those E3 videos and Eiji Aonuma explaining how it'll open up the adventure and focus less on guided...

    Destiny

    I've been playing destiny since beta. Sure, it's content is limited. Sure, there are glitches everywhere. But it's Bungie. And if there is something I've learned, it's that Bungie fixes all their programs in due time. Even Halo got some love way after its time before they sold it off. At 2700...

    Emulation, better on Devices or Desktops?

    For emulation, I have nearly every program under the sun. However, I lack devices to put them on so I carry them around very unconveniently - on a desktop PC. I've been aiming to see if smartphones couldn't handle it in some capacity because let's face it - old systems are even less than some...

    Zelda, the 2015 VERSION!

    After watching E3 and numerous other expos for Eiji Aonuma to explain what has changed and what looks to be better, the game looks absolutely beautiful. It looks like they kept the animation from Twilight Princess/Skyward Sword but have the cell-shading and slightly cartoony look of Windwaker...

    What is the very first video game you remember playing...

    As a kid? I know mine is Star Tropics on the original Nintendo. Then the original Nintendo game "Anticipation" where you had to name what the pencil was drawing an outline of before time ran out and it connected the dots. I also remember the very first golden cartridge Zelda and Zelda 2:Link's...

    If all electronic games were unusuable tomorrow, what games will you play?

    I'd probably play any board-game that anyone procured and set out in front of me. Then, I would find a generator, some gasoline, and run a generator so I could play the games nobody else could, while saying "Man, this generator is boss! I don't even have to play RISK or MONOPOLY like everyone...
