Modern Video Games / P.T. and jailbroken PS5
« on: October 23, 2022, 04:16:27 am »
I just want to hear what people think about this?  I realize there is no way to stop modders
from jail breaking any tech much less the PS5 but to then go through all the trouble
To put P.T. (Playable teaser for a Silent Hill game that will never exist in a full fledged form) is mind
boggling to me.  I get that P.T. was and IS very special but why are we wasting energy
on a “game” that Konami will not ever support or develop??

General / Opinion of the New Switch Model
« on: July 08, 2021, 05:38:59 am »
I am not a big handheld player. I own the GBA, the PSP and PS Vita but I honestly don't play them at all except on vacations or long road trips.  I have never owned or played the Nintendo DS.  I exclusively play my Nintendo Switch in docked mode so I was disappointed to see the only real extra feature being the OLED screen (something the Vita had day one back in 2011).  What is your opinion of this new model?  Frankly I am going to pass on it.

General / Games you beat the same day you bought them?
« on: May 08, 2021, 07:16:34 am »
Are there any games you've bought, played and beat the same day?  For me it was Super Mario Bros. 3 and the original Metal Gear Solid.  I just could not stop playing either of those games until I got to the end credits

Hardware and Tech / Original Xbox with Failed Motherboard
« on: October 06, 2020, 08:24:51 pm »
Hey all!

My original Xbox stopped working a few months ago.  I took it to a place that can do repairs on older systems and they told me it was not cost effective
for them to fix it because of a failed motherboard.  I am not a very tech savvy person, so I am wondering how hard would it be to order a new motherboard and
replace it myself?  My Xbox was modded and had over 100+games on it so I am reluctant to sell it for parts but unless I can do the repair myself maybe I should?

Thanks!

General / Do collector's baffle other gamers?
« on: October 05, 2020, 06:35:12 pm »
I am sure this topic may have been brought up before but this experience keeps happening.  There are a few younger gamers (in their 20s) at my job that bring their PS4s or Xbox's to work (I work graveyard at a youth facilty and we're allowed to have electronics at night).  A couple of them have the game cases made by GAEMS that they lug around.  I will sometimes bring my PS4 with an HD Monitor that can display up to 1440p.  I bought it instead of GAEMS case because I can hook up older systems to it (even my PS2 with an adapter).  Anyways, let me get to the point, they ask me what games I have (thinking I have maybe a handful or so I can rattle off), I say "its better if I show you but I own..." and I tell them how many.  They end up with their mouths agape, "How many??"

I consider myself a low level collector, (only have roughly 500 games or so on multiple systems), but I was wondering if any of you get this question and reaction as well?  LMK in the comments below

Hardware and Tech / Xbox One X HDMI port failure
« on: March 23, 2020, 03:35:16 am »
This just happened to me a couple weeks ago.  The system was working fine one day the next, my 4k TV stopped getting a signal.  I checked YouTube and found out this is a fairly common thing with the early Xbox One X systems.  I was hoping there was an easy fix but there isn't.  Anyway, with it being out of warranty I was going to send it in to Microsoft but they charge $275 not including shipping.  I am just wondering if this has happened to anyone else and if I should just buy a new system?

Modern Video Games / Silent Hills Coming Back!
« on: March 14, 2020, 02:56:11 am »
It has been rumored that Silent Hills might be resurrected by Sony and Kojima.  I’m not sure
about the logistics of this, since I believe Konami still has the rights to the franchise.  I’m one of those that missed out on the P.T. demo so this is very exciting to me
since everything I have heard and seen about it has been excellent.  Anyway, just
curious what you guys think about this?

Classic Video Games / 25th Anniversary of PlayStation!
« on: December 04, 2019, 11:44:15 pm »
Hey guys! I can’t believe it’s been 25 years of PlayStation!! I have been a huge PlayStation fan since I got the original system back in 1995 (wow that makes me feel old).  I just thought to commemorate the occasion we could post our favorite game on each generation of PlayStation consoles.  Here’s mine:

PSOne - Final Fantasy VII - I loved this series on SNES and it was a big reason why I went with PlayStation over the Nintendo 64

PS2 - Resident Evil 4 - This was close between Metal Gear Solid 2 and RE4 but I went with RE4 because it was a revolution for the series

PS3 - The Last of Us - Previously was Uncharted 2 but the story in The Last of Us resonated with me more than Uncharted did

PS4 - Marvel Spider-man - Insomniac got everything right here with my favorite super hero and I couldn’t put it down from start to finish

Anyway, interested to see your picks and let’s hope we see 25 more years of PlayStation!

Classic Video Games / E.T. The Video Game
« on: February 14, 2019, 08:48:39 am »
This game has gotten a horrible rap and is often blamed for the first video game crash in the mid 80’s before Nintendo came along, but how many of you actually owned and played it?  *sheepishly raises hand*
