Looking for income rather than growth.

Off Topic / What are your thoughts on digital collections?

Do you value digital collections of games, movies and music?

I've seen some extreme anti-digital views calling it here today gone tomorrow server reliant rentals.

There's also the whole ownership thing, with digital you have a license to access the material - which theoretically can one day be taken away from you.

On the other hand physical stuff takes up physical space in your house and if you want to be a heavy consumer of media and entertainment it could be pretty sizeable clutter - though some see that 'clutter' as a desirable collection.

What do you think? Are digital collections good?

General / Ever played a game that made you feel like all other games were now obsolete?

« on: September 25, 2018, 04:14:19 am »

Have you ever played something and thought 'damn this is better than anything that came before and any other game coming out right now'?

I experienced this with several games. Games used to be able to blow my mind and captivate me to the point I wanted to play them all the time.

Here's my list of games that did this:

Super Mario World (SNES) - 1990
Super Mario Kart (SNES) - 1992
Super Mario 64 (N64) - 1996
Pokemon Yellow (Gameboy) - 1999
Halo: Combat Evolved (OG Xbox) - 2001
Super Smash Bros. Melee (GameCube) - 2001
Halo 2 (OG Xbox) - 2004
Resident Evil 4 (PS2) - 2005
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (XB360) - 2006
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (XB360) - 2011

At the time these games came out they were absolutely sensational.

Nothing has blown my head off like these in the last 7 years. Sad times my homies.
