    Around how many hours of enjoyment would you say would be worth it for a 70$ game?

    If I am buying it at full price, I expect at least 60 hours out of it. However, the only time I will buy full price is I trust the game enough to warrant it. Also, I will never pay full price for a "story-driven" game, since Netflix is $9 and I get an equal amount of entertainment out of it.

    I want an option to turn off your terrible taste in character skins.

    Note: I am judging based solely from my experiences in GTA online. No. It actually more fun to leave it as is, since we can be all kinds of whacked out. Also, much easier to call somebody out. "Chase the guy in the pig mask!" etc, etc. Not lessen its value, more losing consistencies and...

    So the HTC Vive will cost $799 USD

    I am going to sit this one out for another 3-5 years. I am not about to spend $1100 CAD for a really nice single person monitor that works with maybe 5% of my library. $1100 on essentially anything else is a better purchase at this point.

    What mobile games are you currently playing?

    Does the Fallout Pipboy app counts? Otherwise, I'd spent 5 min in Surgeon Sim, and another 5 on Hatfall in the last 2 weeks.

    Poll: 60fps vs 30fps? opinions?

    Depends on my tolerance: If it's a game that requires my immediate attention (FPS, RTS, MMO, etc...), then 60fps is required. Otherwise (TBS, Sim, etc...), I'll accept 30fps. Yes, I can tell the difference. 30 fps feels a bit sticky and gluey.

    The future of game streaming(and gaming in general)

    Short term answer is no. Networking 101 - Never assume your network is ever reliable. There are too many variables at play here -- your router, your modem, your wires, the exchange, and the server. If one of them has a bad day, so will yours. I have streamed Cities Skylines and GTA5 from my...

    Poll: Custom character vs Character with defined personality?

    Always custom. I no longer have enough time to play every game released, and Tomb Raider 2013 really soured my views on pre-builts. I played maybe 30 min of the Witcher 2 before that piles of brick protagonist bored me to tears. No amount of "good story" will ever shake that feeling the plot...

    Just a quick question to any who speak Japanese

    Something along the lines of "Photograph Tiger's knife". Who is this Tiger and why is his/her/its knife so worthy of photography?

    Poll: Do you like Crafting?

    I don't mind either, but if both crafting and searching are available, the searched gear from dungeons must be more powerful than anything you will ever be able to craft; otherwise it's quite lore breaking when the sought and fought over level 100 legendary weapon everyone is killing each other...

    Poll: Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden,or Motörhead?

    I only know Priest and Maiden, and only really Hallowed vs Painkiller. I voted Maiden anyway.

    Help me get into metal music

    The best way to go about it is grab a music subscription from Google/Spotify; start with something you know (like Dragonforce), and then go from there and see what the streaming service will suggest you. I see Blind Guardian, Sonata Arctica, and HammerFall as similar to Dragonforce. Listen to...
