There is most definitely a market here.

I'm not a fan of DRM, though I understand the perception where it would be necessary. It goes back, at least in the PC world, as long as I can remember. It used to be having to enter a particular word from a page in the manual - very frustrating if you ever lost that! So, perhaps, it's not...

Right now, I'm totally for MMORPGs, but my heart is really in adventure games. The game has to have a story to keep my interest. Fallout, Assassin's Creed, Elder Scrolls, etc. And of course, Civilization. Which I have to be very careful with, because I could spend days on that one.

I would have to say Kingdom of Loathing has the most welcoming and long-lasting community I have ever experienced with an online game. I've been playing the game for 10+ years and it's because of the community that I keep coming back. The game itself is fantastic, hilarious, and amazing - but...

I'd strongly recommend going with an LED projector. They may be more expensive initially for the unit itself, but good god - the lamps on traditional projectors are EXPENSIVE when they burn out. http://www.projectorreviews.com/projector-categories/led-projectors/

What's the difference between a free weekend and a free weekend weekend - just the amount of games they have offered up for free?

Yes! Number Munchers FTW! I can still see that little green frog in my mind. Did anyone ever play Odell Lake? I remember that game giving me nightmares when the bigger fish would eat me.

I'm with OP - SNES is the cut-off for retro gaming. Pre-SNES (NES, Genesis, Neo-Geo, Atari etc.) is all 'retro'. SNES and newer up to the PS2/Xbox era is 'classic', the Xbox360/PS3 is 'modern', and the XboxOne/PS4 is 'next gen'. This is totally a legitimate categorization, says some random...

My first computer was a Commodore 64, complete with cassette tape storage and the couplers that attached to the handset of a rotary phone. This is where I first learn and grew addicted to programming because, holy crap - you can change the code and alter how the game works?! My first console...

I was a huge fan of Dragon Warrior original Legend of Zelda, and the original Final Fantasy - all for the 8-bit NES. OH! And who could forget StarTropics? Bashin' skulls with my yo-yo!

I don't remember when Pong was released, however I *do* remember playing it on my Commodore 64 when I was .. 10? That was a long time ago and it's a bit hazy. I'm curious, though, about what your daughter classifies as an 'actual gamer'. ;)

I.. I can't even. How have I not known about this?! I haven't played the game, yet - but I'm going to now! Thank you for getting drunk and giving it a shot; I'd have never known, otherwise. How's Cosette these days?

My favorites have been Prince of Persia and Tomb Raider. I really liked both movies, despite my reservations. The absolute worst would probably have to be Doom or Super Mario Bros. I shutter at the memories of those two atrocities. I would be stoked to hear if Watchdogs was to become a...

I'm right there with you. For my kids - sure, supervision is fine. My wife and my 8-year-old play CoD together, so we already don't follow the ratings. However, with someone else's kids? I'll err on the side of caution and only let them play E-rated games. I've explained to my kids the...

I actually have 3 at home and a dual-screen set up at work. I'm also one of those people that can't ever go back to one screen. At home, I have a 28' monitor in the center, and two 20' monitors rotated vertically on both sides. It's helpful for emails/texts on the left and IM's, monitoring...

Zug zug! The RTS Warcraft was an amazing series. I absolutely loved the original and Tides of Darkness, but Warcraft 2 and Beyond the Dark Portal consumed most of my nights in high school. I miss games that had this level of intensity.

River City Ransom!! :D I loved that game; I could play it over and over again. I have no idea why; but there is just something about that game that I couldn't get enough of. Maybe the dragon feet or the stone hands, or the fact that the bad guys would 'BARF' when they died...

I prefer retro gaming because of the challenge that game with it. The younger kids don't know what 'Game Over' means and having a limited amount of lives and/or continues. Now, if you make a mistake in your game, you simply respawn near where you were last - or hopefully you quicksaved. I...

My kids play video games and play outside regularly. On the flip side, they don't really watch TV much - there's no time. But, these girls can kick my butt in a game of Garry's Mod or Minecraft minigames before they say 'okay, daddy, that was fun - can we go outside now?'.

Bayou Billy for NES. Seriously, I hate that game. My childhood best friend and I didn't speak for weeks because of that game. Just hearing the music and watching the video makes my skin crawl. But, on the plus side, this :mad: game was the reason the Game Genie was invented.
