[Consoles You Bought]

Whenever Switch 2 comes out, I'm never going to miss out on it and I hope it's not going be like what we're experiencing with PS5 now for being too scarce in the retail market.

Console shortages stink.  I like to see people get what they really want.

[What games you love but dread to re-play due to not wanting to re-live something in the story?]

I don't play NASCAR Dirt to Daytona too much anymore because after winning 1,084 races in career mode all they showed was two Fords crashing.  After winning 1,084 races they should show me a better illustration.  Maybe a slideshow of great events from real life racing history would be better.

[Consoles You Bought]

I could easily see myself getting a Switch 2 in 2025 or 2026.  I would buy one sooner, but I don't buy consoles very often.  I'm also not an early adopter.  I love my current Switch Oled and am really into the one game I own for it WRC 8.  I'm only restating a lot of this because there seems to be a lot of new members here.

I only have a debit card, you can also pay via PayPal.

Yeah, I'll have to learn Pay Pal.  You guys give awesome advice.

Cool.  I'm saving up for another car though.  If my parents keep both their cars I won't need one.  If they sell one I may have to buy one of my own again.

[Games you put other things on hold to play and enjoy?]

What I don't get is when I get fired after a solid top ten finish.

[Games you put other things on hold to play and enjoy?]

No, I've been getting fired.  If I could finish two positions better per rally it might not happen.

Finally, there's one who's giving more time to this kind of game, so it doesn't look like I'm the only freak here 😂. 

 

Well done mate. You're doing well!! 

I've only gotten through one season without getting fired early, but as my skills improve that should change.

[Most underrated game?]

8 hours ago, Heatman said:

I haven't played the game that much but from what I've heard about it, it seems like a lot gamers are interested in it. I'm not sure if that makes it underrated. 

I wonder what the gaming magazines of the era thought about Live '98.  I'll have to do a Google search.

[Would you buy any old console today?]

I don't have a credit card.  Can you use E-bay with a debit card?  I honestly don't know.

[Would you buy any old console today?]

I was covetous of a friends Genesis that he wouldn't play anymore at the time.  This was like '97 or '98 when I lived in Massachusetts.

[Most underrated game?]

I think NBA Live '98 was underrated.  I used to be really into it.  The trade menu worked well and you could tell which players were being depicted.

[Games you put other things on hold to play and enjoy?]

I don't feel like I'm that addicted to gaming anymore, but WRC 8 almost gets me in the zone.  I think I'm in like my 89th season in the game.

[Would you buy any old console today?]

I wish I had a Sega Genesis.  If I used E-bay I would have one by now.

[What do you do when you encounter a game-breaking bug with no simple workaround?]

I feel the same way about GT6.  I completed it at least five years ago, but I still play it sometimes.

[Most educational games not made to be educational games?]

I think Tony Hawk games can teach you about sections of a city you're in.  It may not be great detail, but they're still telling you about a city at times.

[Last Game Played]

WRC 8.  I've returned to this game after a week or two break.  I'm good at special events, but I need improvement in the rallies themselves.

[Persian Risk]

Has anyone made a good cover of any Persian Risk songs.  I'm a huge fan of them and it might be fun to hear some.

I dabbled into the skateboarding game of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 today. 

Basically I play Tony Hawk games to see classic architecture, cool hairstyles, hear great music and skate just a little.

[Last Game Played]

NBA Live 03.

[Do you like playing Games alone or with friends?]

I like to be able to see what I'm doing while I'm playing so I'd rather play by myself and not deal with split screens.

[Would you take up video Gaming as a professional job?]

I think it would sure beat working in crap retail around psychotic people.  I have experience in that.  Besides, when my work is done for the day I can just go to my bedroom and read.

[longest hours spent on video games?]

I think I played NASCAR Dirt to Daytona something like 15 hours straight once in '07 except for the fact that some of that time was meal time.  Part of me regrets this, but part of me is happy to have 1,084 NASCAR wins in one game alone. 

[How many hours do you play games daily?]

I used to be addicted to gaming.  Back in the 2000's I was so addicted to GT games that I honestly don't know how I kept my friends or kept track of NASCAR or my favorite team the Boston Celtics, but somehow I did.  I guess I have more mental strength than I think I do.  I'm really not that addicted anymore.  Today I played two NBA Live '03 games with two minute quarters and decided that was enough.

[Do you like to use overpowered abilities/weapons, or do you avoid them?]

A flexible player design would always be a better fit. They are going to be very good for you to manipulate and use them to get the best out of their performance in the game. 

I like a balanced attack myself, but I also like a lot of armor.
