I have pretty much all the Nintendo handhelds up until DS Lite, sans Micro. From the original Gameboy Fatty, Playit Loud! series, Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Lite, Gameboy Color, Advance, SP. I had a love of the Pokemon series so that was the main reason why I had them haha, but I also had other...

Number Munchers, Oregon Trail, Solitaire and Minesweeper. Those are the ones that I can remember at the top of my head. It's been a very long time, but I can distinctly remember those four games from my early childhood.

I will only very rarely purchase at full price. I mean extremely rarely. If it's an MMO I play all the bloody time then yeah I'll drop full price on the expansion at release because honestly the hours sunk vs cost of the game itself is pennies on the dollar at that point for entertainment. As to...

I prefer it on my PC. It can take anything and then some. I mean I abuse the living daylights out of it and it can handle just about anything I throw at it just fine. My phone on the other hand? Nah, I wouldn't use it to game or emulate. To me it's just for utilitarian purposes- check texts...

I never enjoyed FPS games for various reasons. Repetitive gameplay, motion sickness, lack of twitch reflexes needed for such games due to nerve injury and just not my genre overall. I like playing games with stories, puzzles, varied mechanics, ect. Plus I feel such communities are constantly...

It's entirely possible to game on a budget if you're smart about how you purchase stuff. Never purchase on release because it'll be full price, be full of bugs or never live up to the hype. Never purchase consoles on release either. By waiting it out a bit the prices will lower on the retail...

I wouldn't advise thrift stores as a primary place to go hunting. I've worked for third party companies who partnered with a large thrift store chain on other sales avenues. They don't test for anything and it's a shot in the dark honestly. Besides these days thrift stores sells their stuff...

It was cheaper than the other consoles to begin with, so as manufacturing costs went down so too did the pricing. Not only that but the hardware was weaker compared to PS3 and the Xbox. Generally also the lack of other multimedia options makes it less appealing in the long run. Even if the PS3...

I still own my PS2. It was the pinnacle of what a console should be. Plus the huge library of games is phenomenal. I mean that's the sole purpose why I have it honestly. I have a giant library of games that I've built over the years and never let go because of their replayability factor.

Secondhand will generally net you the cheapest deal. Craigslist will get you the best deal due to a huge variety of reasons haha, just keep looking. But yeah I'd be careful with making the exchanges with all the stuff that's been happening. Personally I never had issues but that's just me. Meet...

Generally for something like 95% of the games on PC- definitely keyboard and mouse. However there are a few exceptions like racing games/simulators of various types where a controller of some sort will offer a more comfortable or realistic experience. Depends on how far said person will go for...

I'm surprised that nobody's mentioned Bastion yet. The art is lush, the music well done and the narration compelling. It's not a very long game but it's well worth the time and the investment.

It's baffling that in this day and age that people still carry this ridiculous stigma that games are only for children. Games are for all ages and genders. I'm an old fart and I play video games all the time, Minecraft included. Hell I grew up on them and they've always been a big part of my...

PC has the best life for games in general. Emulators can play older games and PC release games have super long shelf lives because of the modding community that adds things like graphics mods, ect and add additional levels and more. I know people who are still playing Doom and even Counterstrike...

MMORPG, RPG and JRPG. I like taking things at my pace and MMO's because it's a good bang for the buck and I can have fun with other people when I'm feeling sociable.

I'm neutral to it. It's nice that they're getting following and exposure but at the same time like someone said the more competitive a game gets the more toxic the community can become. WoW was a good dip in the waters eye opening experience to a part of that side.

I'm on the ride as long as I can boat as well. There's no point in dropping money just yet if I can squeeze more life out of the current console. Plus PS4 is still too high for my tastes at the moment. Then there's also the fact that I've drastically cut back on playing games these days.

It's nice to keep things for nostalgia's sake but the real world isn't a very nice place unfortunately. All things are commodities to be bought and sold eventually. As much as I hate parting with my stuff- it's just stuff. I can't keep it when I die and who's to say that any family members will...

Man, I liked the SNES/Genesis but I also liked the N64 and PS2 equally.

HG/SS was still good. I didn't get into B/W or beyond.
