How many consoles do you own?
kingpotato reacted to StaceyPowers for a topic
Do you have multiple consoles, i.e. to play old games that aren’t compatible with newer consoles? How many do you have? What’s the oldest console you still use?1 point -
Video Games and Pain Relief
kingpotato reacted to StaceyPowers for a topic
There have been a number of studies that have shown increased pain tolerance while playing video games, i.e. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/video-games-may-help-relieve-pain/ I notice I often feel less pain while playing video games than I do during other parts of the day (chronic pain sufferer here), though that could just be because it is late at night, which is the time of day I naturally feel best physically. I also know that nothing can distract me from pain, because I seem to be wired a bit differently than most folks in that respect. But I do think accomplishing video game tasks can produce a dopamine response, and I theorize this may also help reduce pain. Anyone have thoughts on this?1 point -

That is a fun game to play. I remember I spent a half a year playing that game against other people.1 point -
How many consoles do you own?
kingpotato reacted to DarthHazard for a topic
I have two consoles, a Xbox 360 S and a PlayStation 4. I don't really use the Xbox 360 anymore but I did play on it a few months ago to try out Grand Theft Auto 4 again because I love that game. Hopefully, it will be remastered very soon for the PlayStation 4 and when that happens, chances are I will either get rid of or try to sell the Xbox 360 as I won't need it anymore.1 point -

Do you prefer Survival or Creative in Minecraft? Why?
DylanC reacted to Shortie861 for a topic
I would much rather play creative over survival if I am honest. Creative is a great game mode on Minecraft to be able to sit down, relax, not have to worry and just chill out building whatever you want. I love to be able to sit with my family and just have fun whilst building crazy things or something we have an idea for. Survival is fun but I find I get too frustrated over Survival and give up very quickly.1 point -
Best online multiplayer experiences?
kingpotato reacted to DylanC for a topic
Modern Warfare 3’s MP is a lot of fun. I’m pretty sure it’s the first title in the series to feature Infected mode which was really addictive. Nice choice! I spent a ton of hours playing the Firefight horde mode with friends. Great times!1 point -
At what age did you start playing video games?
DC reacted to Hydro Flame for a topic
Not that long actually. I really got into them back around 2008. The first console I owned was an N64 with Super Mario, and I played that game so much because it was the only game I had at the time. My parents just couldn't afford video game consoles, so when I finally got another game, which was Pokemon Stadium, I was overjoyed because I now had two games! I have since been lucky after getting married and finally have the opportunity to play them, although I still have a long wish list of ones I have yet to play. Sadly, I no longer have an N64, but that thing was basically my childhood.1 point -
Best Arcade Game You've Ever Played?
DylanC reacted to Alexander. for a topic
Best arcade game of all time, that's a tough question! It's hard just to pick one being my favourite. As the first video game I ever played, I can always find some room and love in my heart for Pacman. A balance of many different concepts which makes the Retro Game fun to play. Very simply objective for the player. You have to make there way through a maze and has to gather all of the Pat-Dots (DOTS) in order to complete the level. As a player, you are constantly being hunted by four ghosts which means your main purpose is to kill them.1 point -

For me it will be Halo 3, maybe not the best multiplayer compared to other games, but Halo 3 will always have a place in my heart.1 point -
Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was my first true online multiplayer experience.1 point

House of the Dead 3 with a shotgun. Best time I've ever had in an arcade. Also DDR. All the DDR. Burned so many calories on those machines.1 point

I played a lot of arcade games in my time. It's so hard to pick a favourite. I can give you my top three though. I love Pacman, Street Fighter and Space Invaders. Mortal Kombat and Frogger would be next.1 point

Best Arcade Game You've Ever Played?
DylanC reacted to Shortie861 for a topic
Arcade games are so much fun! I remember when I was growing up two of my most favourite arcade games to play were Donkey Kong and PacMan! PacMan was the one game I became super addicted to though and my parents were never fond of me playing on it too long due to how addicted I got to that game. Safe to say though, all the hours spent on PacMan when I was growing up definitely helped me out as I get older. It's a shame they don't make arcade games like they used to anymore, it would be nice to see something new released in the arcade genre. So many awesome memories!1 point
