I constantly find myself returning to two games: Stardew Valley and Kerbal Space Program. There are a lot of good games out there, but some of them can be downright stressful to play. For example, I’m a fan of online first-person shooters, but my skill has gone down in recent years so I end up...

I honestly feel kind of bad for not liking Dragon Ball FighterZ as much as other people do. I think the problem is that I’m more of a “single player campaign” kind of gamer, but FighterZ has more of an emphasis on competitive online play. Sure, they included a story mode, but most people would...

I’m glad that you said we can pick an entire series, because this makes the choice so much easier. I think that my first choice would be the Metal Gear Solid series. Not only are the Metal Gear games my favorite of all-time (and one of the longest running video game series to boot), but their...

I actually think much more about video games these days than I’ve ever had before. I’ve been trying to just generally improve and grow as an individual, so I’ve been considering a lot of my old habits. Obviously one of those habits was mindlessly playing video games. A lot of the time, I’d...

When VR gaming initially made its debut, I admit that I was quite skeptical. I honestly thought that it was nothing more than a temporary fad that would eventually fade into obscurity. I was adamant that it would join the ranks of previously failed gaming “innovations,” such as gimmicky motion...

My personal pick would probably have to be Sigma from the Mega Man X series. Sigma was my first experience with the concept of multi-stage bosses. You reach the ending of the final stage, and it's time to duke it out with the big man himself. But first, he sends his robot pet to test your...

I absolutely love the Super Famicom controller. And yes, specifically the Super Famicom one, and not the SNES one. They're technically the same thing, but the colors are what make the difference for me. Nintendo modified the Famicom design for American audiences because they wanted it to...

I honestly can't accurately remember what my very first PC game was. I know that my family didn't have a computer for a long time because we were very poor. One time I went over to my cousin's house and his family had just gotten a new desktop computer. The first thing we did was fire it up and...

Dark Souls Remastered has taken up nearly all of my time. I put several hundred hours into the Prepare to Die Edition of Dark Souls, and I'm already nearing a hundred in the Remastered version. I don't know what it is about Dark Souls, but even though I've completed the game dozens of times, it...

I'd probably have to go with World of Warcraft. I know that this and Overwatch are among the obvious choices, but I just have so many fond memories of World of Warcraft that I can't not choose it. It wasn't the MMORPG that I played the most (that title goes to Runescape) but it was the one I...

This is actually a positive thing for me, and I've come to realize it recently. I've been trying out the OMAD diet in order to manage my weight. I've put on a couple of kilos recently from partying too much (it's summer, can you blame me?) so I wanted to prevent it from reaching the danger zone...

Seeing the quality and detail of video game graphics these days, I'm inclined to believe that it can't get much better, but I've learned from the past that I'd be naïve to think so. With every new generation of video games, I thought to myself, "Wow! This is so realistic! I don't see how games...

Well emulators are only better for the sake of convenience. Being able to stuff a console's entire library of games on one hard drive, and play with features such as save states and higher resolutions, is really convenient. But emulators lack in a lot of places as well. The fact is that...

I never owned a PlayStation One because my parents got me a Nintendo 64 at the time, but later on I played a bunch of PS1 games thanks to the backwards compatibility of the classic PlayStation 2. I'd have to say that at the top of my list is Metal Gear Solid. That game is a masterpiece and a...

We're actually on the same page then! My very first gaming console was a SNES as well. I had gotten it in the late 90's when I was about six years old. My cousin had just gotten a PlayStation One and wasn't interested in his SNES anymore, so I got it from him as a hand-me-down. I may have gotten...

It's a combination of convenience and performance. Buying and collecting video games is incredibly easy through programs like Steam. Everything is nice and organized in one application. Not to mention the crazy sales that Steam has. During an average seasonal sale, I sometimes get up to 10 or...

Absolutely! I know this because I already have, haha. My very first gaming computer was assembled by yours truly. I was nervous at first, but I quickly came to realize that it isn't such a big deal. You're literally just plugging things into slots. Anxiety is the biggest obstacle in my...

Oh God, a man can dream. This is something I've thought about a lot, and I even came close to establishing my own gaming room until there was a drastic change of plans. Well for starters, I'd want a shelf/cabinet setup with every console from the NES to the PS4, and everything in between...

I haven't been "medicated" in quite a while, but playing video games and getting toasted used to be one of my favorite pass times. Usually I loved to play any Super Nintendo game, but particularly ones from my childhood. The combination of being baked and playing my childhood favorites amplified...

There is one game that I'm both excellent and terrible at, and that game is Dark Souls. It should come as no surprise to anyone, considering Dark Souls is known as one of the toughest games to come out in recent history. When it comes to PvE, I'm insanely good at it. I've learned how to dodge...
