General / Wacky Game Titles Or Gameing Plots

« on: February 08, 2018, 05:36:51 pm »

I been wanting to mention this really funny game title with a vary strange plot for a while. But I fear it may come with backlash or controversy. Because it really is a weird home brew game for the Atari 2600 that is also reviewed on YouTube by someone else.

Game title is called "Explosive Diarrhea". a home brew cartridge with a silly plot where you must carry a southern US. american family across a mine field and into an outhouse. to earn points. and according to footage on YouTube your character models look like backwards d letters

General / Story Driven Games? Follow? Or Skip?

« on: February 06, 2018, 09:01:01 pm »

How many of you follow the storylines in video games. I have heard on steam that some people could care less about the story in most shooting video games, how about you? Do you follow the cut scenes in any video game or do you skip some of them, and go straight to gameplay?

I usually follow a video game's storyline if I have a series of the same game. I rarely like to play a sequel of video game franchise. without first playing the first game or it's prequel. but sometimes the first game can suck on some franchises or it's the other way around.

Lets also talk about good stories and bad stories in our video games also

General / Let's Talk About The 7th Generation Of Gaming Consoles

« on: February 02, 2018, 03:35:32 pm »

@Marvelvscapcom2 made a topic last year about this time about your favorite console of each generation, but to make this topic different I decided to make a (lets Talk) about the 7th generation in which not many people talk about, what is your likes or dislikes about this generation 7 of console gaming. Some call it the last Gen.

The 7th generation mainstream consoles include the

Xbox 360, the Nintendo Wii, and the PlayStation 3

I prefer the SONY PlayStation 3 when it comes to the Last Generation or 7th of console gaming. Coming in second I like the Xbox 360, I have my own Wii also but I never played it as of yet.

I only prefer the Wii when it comes to Wii sports. I had a ton of fun at family get together's playing the Wii in all of it's motion control glory. When it comes to multiplayer motion control games in your own living room the Wii is king. When It comes to casual gaming with yourself or others the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 was good also.

share your 7th generation console gaming stories here. or, this is also the place for anyone opinion or likes and dislikes about any or all consoles within this 7th generation of consoles

General / The Best And The Worst Of Video Game Boss Fights

« on: January 24, 2018, 03:17:55 pm »

Some games require a strategy other then to shoot the boss in order to defeat them, some video game boss fights are one hit kills and then game over. So which games had the best and worst of the boss character. Personally I have no favorite boss that I never was able to figure out how to beat them and move on in the game, or end the game. So name some of the best and worst boss fights of all time.

I usally like the bosses you shoot at, but in duke nukem 64 the second boss fight takes place in a small room and with no big guns in order to defeat him. If I had more rockets I would not mind this boss fight as much. but shooting this boss requires depletion of all ammo and still no way to defeat him in which turned me off of that N64 game

General / Your Opinions of the Xbox Halo Series

« on: January 23, 2018, 05:14:27 am »

I was going to save this discussion after I complete Halo: Combat Evolved but could't wait to finish the game before making a thread about the series in general. I never actually played a halo game through it's single player campaign as of this post, but I am sorta enjoying the first game now that I am actually playing. It is a nice change from Playing Call Of Duty and other First Person Shooters I already played through. I own an Xbox 360 slim. And so far I really enjoy my play through of Halo 1 Combat evolved. I plan to buy Halo 2 in the near future.

 If I do get Halo 2 then I would already own a vast majority of the series. I got all the other ones minus the Xbox One Halos so far.

The Halo Series is only a PC and Xbox console title but most of you already know this

General / What Is The Highest Amount You Usually Spend On A Used Video Game

« on: January 18, 2018, 07:07:45 pm »

(EDIT)
NOT A SALES THREAD I AM NOT PLANNING ON SELLING ANYTHING

For me? I don't like to get anything over $30.00 used. My most expensive game in my collection I think is Zelda Ocarina Of Time N64 $30.00 lose and Banjo Towie. I managed to find Banjo Towie Complete In Box for $30.00 with the original price being $60.00 CIB. the rest of my games are used under $30.00 as far as I remember

General / Anger Quits

« on: January 13, 2018, 10:24:04 pm »

How do you handle rage or anger quits? Have you ever broken a controller or a console? for me



When generally a video game goes too fast or too complex or, it makes me fatigue. I get angry  and turn off the game console. I have broken a few controller a long time ago. I'm a loser when it comes to games, I usually get lost or don't know what to do in which is why I turn off so many games not even bothering to get off the first level

General / The Game In Collection Someone Else Suggestion Thread

« on: January 10, 2018, 11:14:56 pm »

I always have trouble when selecting a new game to play, I figure some other people have trouble picking out something to play from their collection


I thought of a neat idea. To anyone who posts on this thread, give someone else a suggestion (to play a game) based on any game or games in their collection. IF you already played most of your collection and have no backlog, you can become the perfect somewhat, candidate for someone who may have the same game in their own backlog. (nobody has to play the game selected)


In case this topic grows, talk about the game recommended by someone else, and share your story

(the selection of the thread is based on those of you like myself who have public collections)

To see what is in other peoples collections click on the collection link under anyone avatar, that is of course if the poster has a public collection

If you already played all of your games or someone pick something you already played then turn the game into conversation piece.

General / Online Gameplay Vs Offline Gameplay

« on: January 03, 2018, 05:54:04 pm »

hello, and welcome to this thread. which is your choice when it comes to Online gameplay. Are you some that takes risks with complete strangers do you only play with your buddies.

For Me about 4 years ago I used to run doom servers on my home PC and I played with a bunch of complete strangers from around the world. I did make some old acquaintances this way. and even ran a teamspeak server for a few months in a private clan. but ever since I left contact with my old online buddies I have not ran a single Doom 2 server since.

I much prefer offline games but I love to play multiplayer with someone I know in the same room
which do you prefer offline or online gameplay?

General / Your Favorite Sports Games Or Peevs

« on: December 30, 2017, 07:41:25 pm »

I made another topic about Sports Games over 120 days ago. And I don't want to be a bother. But, what sports games do you have in your collection, and if so, name some of your most favorites. and why you like them, or not.

My favorite sport genres is
1:Hockey
2: Golf
3:Basketball
4: Soccer/International Football
5: Baseball
6: American Football

I currently don't like Madden Football games because I'd rather not deal with the intense coaching strategy. In fact most EA sports games period. force you to tweak strategy in order for you to keep wining.

 just like in NHL 2004 and later years where. If you want to keep winning you must change the coaching strategy or else you'll lose or have a heck of a time with your players going completely off sync or your NPC players will start goofing off especially in the defense.

I am pretty good at NHL strategy but terrible at Football and Soccer Football games. Most of you might not know the secrets of winning in EA's NHL. But I can tell you if you can't score, or are always getting hit and if your players start goofing off and running in circles around the other team


 making you painstakingly try to keep your players in line (then you must learn how to setup the correct coaching strategy) But in older NHL titles such as NHL 2003 and before there is a way to set your coaching strategy to auto leaving you less worry and difficulty but in NHL 2004 and later games they make you memorize the correct coaching strategy in the team options screen or else say goodbye to victory and hello to getting your ass kicked

General / Collection Slowdowns Or Missfortunes

« on: December 28, 2017, 05:07:14 pm »

How many have had some misfortune in their video game collection, it can be anything from disc rot to cartridges breaking or if you ever were robbed some of your games or consoles.


 Me personally as you read in a lot of my post some of the used PS3 games I've got holes in the Blurays from where the top layer somehow came off this has occurred to a lot of my PlayStation 3 games.  however luckily never been robbed as of today, but I had some of my collection needing to be thrown away. So far my PlayStation 1 & 2 Xbox and Gamecube and Wii games seem to be ok.

I'm having a difficult time with Playstation 3 disc rot in fact I even bought some games with that defect

General / Would You Participate If Arcades And Laser Tag Were Back And Cheaper?

« on: December 26, 2017, 10:42:03 am »

Imagine Lets Just say. if sometime in the future lets say the leader of your country made all arcades and laser  tag a comeback

 free for kids and those staff who make it all happen and safely. and maybe just a whole lot cheaper for adult guests. I would love arcades to come back and especially laser tag more then arcades.

Have any of you ever played laser tag? I think it was like $20.00 I think to join in for 15 minutes where everyone runs around in an arena physically  and aims at the other players suits and if you are hit it disables your weapon for a short while.

I only played laser tag 3 times in my entire life and I loved it. However I was too late growing up as the arcades were all abandoned.

I love the racing simulator arcade machines with the cockpit and the seat, but I hated the waste of quarters it had and how short of a time It lets me race.

 I am 29 if anyone want to know how old I am today

« on: December 25, 2017, 10:15:05 am »

I got 2 Xbox One games for Christmas and I don't currently own an Xbox One I was thinking of buying an Xbox One S because I heard it was backwards compatible

Is It?

 I can't afford the Xbox One X since is is like $400.00 or $500.00 as of this post. and I already own an Xbox 360 slim but I think I heard that All Xbox 360s were kinda a junker system and only lasting a few months before breaking down permanently or at least need repair after little usage. I currently own an Xbox 360 Slim in which is new but I heard it breaks down after little usage anyone have any suggestions. and thanks for taking the time reading this post

General / Gran Turismo Series Thread

« on: December 20, 2017, 09:16:19 pm »

for those who know skip this first lines

Gran Turismo is a driving simulator SONY series of video games that is may be an exclusive to PlayStation consoles ever since the PlayStation 1 it is a game that includes in game buyable cars from real life manufacturers as well as real auto parts from real manufacturers from around the world.

 I am not going to name all the manufactures and cars because their is over 700 cars to buy and upgrade in Gran Turismo 4 for the PlayStation 2 alone. and vary few cars to choose from in Gran Turismo 3 A spec.

I prefer gran turismo 2 at the moment wikipedia says their is close to 650 cars. But the back artwork only says over 500.

this is a thread for any Gran Turismo fans to share their experience with this series.

I used to like the (Toyota SUPRA 2.5GT Twin Turbo R '90)
