I started to play guitar because of Guitar Hero 3.

Great review, sad to know that the game is not that good.

Funny enough, playing Gran Tourismo and Moto GP helped me learn about certain mechanisms in a car/bike and how they work together and when certain issues happened to my bike, what was the underlying issue. I didn't gain any hobbies per se but I learned certain skills from video games.

What video games give you the Tetris effect? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris_effect if you do not know what I am talking about. Like when you are falling asleep at night, and you see or feel images/hallucinations of the thing you were doing while you were awake. Real-life experiences which produce it for me include things like rollercoasters or going on long drives or boat rides. Sometimes I get it from video games like Skyrim if I do a lot of walking, and occasionally I get it from repetitive and long boss fights (the latter is just annoying). I also get it from the train ride in RDR (which is kind of relaxing and pleasant). I notice it is most common when a game experience is fresh and new, but after I've done it a lot, the Tetris effect (ironically) reduces. What about you? Do you experience this?

I never saw myself as a villain. It was one of those "road to hell paved in good intentions" scenarios. I really did think I was making the game world a better place all that time :/ That seems like a common theme for plenty of villains though.

Here is my complete Rage 2 review: https://www.vgr.com/rage-2-pc-game-review/

If I have any interest in new generation consoles, I always wait at least a year to buy one. The price will have gone down after that, bugs will have been fixed, and there will be more games available. It’s a win/win to me.

@StaceyPowers funny enough, I had watched most of the Ubisoft presentation and then I went to the bathroom during it so this trailer must have missed me. I also didn't hear too many people talk about it either considering the popularity of Watch Dogs but I hope it lives up to the hype unlike the 2 previous games. The Doom Eternal Presentation was also pretty good and I am looking forward to the game.

@The Blackangel I'm always happy to bait you, in a good way of course :) I think it's awesome you play FF8 over and over. The world needs more people who are able to love something so much that they continue to engage with it like that for years. @killamch89 I see what you mean, although what you said kind of is my point about Skyrim (and I say this as someone who loves playing Skyrim). There isn't much difference between a bandit camp and a dungeon save for the type of enemies, and only a few dungeons have really stand-out, unique features that I can think of. There are a few quests that stand out though, like the one where you go to fight pirates on an island, and the one with the Forsworn in Markarth. @kingpotato Good call about NV. I agree, NV actually has pretty good quest variety.

I had a soft spot for this game on PS2 as well. Kinda intrigued to see if the remake is any good. Always thought it was novel playing as the bad guys for once.

Batman Animated series! 🤘

Bugs Bunny 😁

I didn’t necessarily pick up the hobby of skateboarding through Tonk Hawk games back on the PS2, but they definitely helped give me an extra bit of appreciation for the sport. Would lay a few games of Tony Hawk and it would inspire me to try new tricks that I’d never done before. Not sure if that counts, lol.
