    Weekend Question: Has the pandemic changed your relationship with games?

    I think I'm getting back to my 90's self. Last couple of years, like a lot of other gamers, I found myself having little patience understanding and learning games. Numerous times I started a random Battlefield game: you can hop in and out, it's quick and simple. But now, because of the pandemic...

    Question Weekend Question: Have you ever been a dirty dang cheat in a game?

    Never in online games. In SP games...oh boy. A lot. Anyone here who completed a Gobliiinsgame without using walkthroughs? Older adventuregames could be hard. Others: Diablo 2: itemgenerator (played it hours and hours, but some items were just too rare). Doom 2: because...offcourse...We all...

    Question Weekend Question: What's the most valuable cosmetic item you own?

    The T-shirt that came with the boxed version of Terminator 2 Judgement Day, some 30 years ago. I think I was about 12 years old at the time. The shirt was adult size, but I didn't mind. It lasted for about 10 years, then it was completely useless. Loved that item :)

    Question What are your thoughts on early access games?

    I only have one EA game for the moment, that's Teardown. I allready liked it from the start, and it seems to get better and better.

    Question What old games hold their own against modern games

    Yeah. We, old guys :D, usually play those games because we loved them in the 90's. When most of us were kids or teenagers. You can not give a pixelated game, like X-Wing, to a new generation gamer. Why would you? It's hard, it's a visual disaster, it has midi...it would be a punishment. But it...

    Do you ever dream about video games?

    Just finished Terminator Resistance. Dreamed about a T800 following me LOL

    Question What old games hold their own against modern games

    Simply: the list is endless. I play 90's en 00's game on a daily basis. So many good games came out 20-30 years ago, and a lot of them stil stand. Eg: in december I finished the campaign of Dogfight and M1 Tank Platoon. If it wasn't for a stupid bug on archive.org, I would have finished Red...

    Question Memorycount on old PC's?

    Strange question, maybe, but it's something that always crossed my mind when I start my old PC. Not so very noticable on 'newer' Pentiums, but more so on 286-386-486 PC's. Why did it have a basic , slow, memory count when most people just aborted it with the escape-key (to start gaming asap :D)...

    What made you take the leap to PC?

    Started with PC in 1992 (386SX), never changed. Owned a Wii and Wii U, but my main gameplatform remains the PC.

    Question Weekend Question: What game has the most brutal beginning?

    Older games in general could be very brutal from the start. For me, the most brutal (from the beginning) game I've played is Metal Mutant. Getting the past the first few screens was allready tricky, but the 'fun' really started 5 minutes in. Never finished it, not sure if anyone did. Offcourse...

    Which will come first? Starcitizen, Dwarf Fortress or Dragon age 4?

    Duke Nukem Forever 2 will probably go gold before Star Citizen goes beta. Silly things aside. I was a hardcore 'believer' in SC some years ago, but like many players...I don't care anymore. Roberts probably doesn't know when to stop, he's a guy that wants everything: the latest tech, the best...

    Feature Ubisoft is working on an open world Star Wars game - what do you want to see?

    Music is soooo important, i can relate. Currently I'm playing Terminator Resistance. An 'ok' game, but the music really drags you in. Without the original T2 soundtrack, this game wouldn't have been that decent. Creating atmosphere is everything.

    Games you just couldn't get into

    Doom Eternal. I know, it 'should' be great, according to reviews. But I refunded it. I had a 'meh'-feeling when I played it. And that's from a guy who currently loves Terminator Resistance. I finished the previous (new) Doom game and thought it was good. Doom Eternal was probably overdoing...
