There is no defense. It's pure greed and nothing else.
 
That's not a bad idea, but would be ineffective. Just because Scalper-1 is recorded, it doesn't mean their friends and family are. Also they could offer people x amount of money to go in, buy one with the scalpers money, and bring it out to the scalper. There's a million ways around these things.

There's no real defense of their practices because every one else is also being affected by Covid. I think most retailers need to start implementing captcha (the difficult ones) among other strategies to limit the scalper's business and make it time-consuming and ineffective. Then again, most retailers only care about the money they receive so...

I've run into scalpers at hockey games several times. When the Red Wings would come to St. Louis to play against the Blues, I would get early entry since I'm in a wheelchair. These assholes are outside and trying to charge people $60+ for $20 tickets. And all too often, the tickets would turn out to be fake, and the dumb son of a bitch that bought from the scalper would be royally fucked. I had one jackass try to sell me a ticket. I punched him in the throat right on his Adam's Apple, took the fake tickets (a 4 year old could have done a better job) and went inside. Scalpers are one of the few specific people that I'm a severe bigot against. If someone buys a game system and has to turn around and sell it for unforseen reasons, they're not a scalper. I want to clear that up right now. They just got some shitty luck. Someone who buys an item with the intention of reselling it for a 300% markup, that is the one who will meet a severe bigot when they lay eyes on me. And I don't give a shit what anyone says. I'm proud to be bigoted towards the worthless scum. I'm not much more than white trash myself, but at least I'm not some greedy piece of shit that's out trying to rip people off.

Nope, would never pay anything extra to a scalper. The idea that these people get away with it, sickens me, but that's the nature of new devices. Sadly, it seems to be happening a lot more for these new gen consoles than I would have expected. 

I won't, they are literally abusing the situtation of stock in this pandemic, i won't simply motivate some selfish guy to do it again and again and make people pay more than the double for a product that it costs less

No fucking way. I value honesty, and despise greed, and would never support some piece of shit like that. If some scalper tried to sell me one, I would knock their worthless ass to the ground then squat down and piss on their face.
After that I would just raid their pockets and take their console. Yes, I would rob them.

No way! I'd just wait for a couple of months until the supply catches up to the demand and purchase it for the original market price. Consoles aren't an essential item so I can do without it for a few months.

I like to play at home because if you talk to yourself while playing, who cares?  It's my basement.

When I'm all played out on the games, I tend to watch some movies, bindge some tv shows and YouTube and maybe relax. I've been reading more often as of late, so I may start reading even more. As well, I like to hang out with friends & fam. Other times I try to catch up on some work, and other times I just sit around on my phone for hours lol. 

When I was a kid, I used to be really into art and I used to draw Gray Fox and Solid Snake from the original Metal Gear Solid. I remember even did a drawing of Metal Gear Rex. To be honest, I'm not sure where I'd find that.

I started playing Twisted Metal 2 when I was 14.  As for games with adult situations, I can't think of any.

There is nothing juicy about it. We played GTA, Doom, Hexen, Heretic, Sin, Duke3D, Carmageddon, Mortal Kombat and so on, and nobody I know turned violent. In fact the most cruel and violent kids in school were always the ones with the most devout and conservative parents who kept their kids under the strictest rules not allowing them any access to movies / videogames / limiting their play time etc.
 I think shielding kids from gore is a mistake. For example the games where you still kill others, but they remove blood and gore. And that makes them kid friendly according to who?  That's the worst lesson you can give to kids because it tells them killing has no consequences.
 

What is the most awkward or embarrassing moment of any kind you experienced while playing any game?
I would say pretty much anytime I played a BioWare game and there was a sex scene and anyone else was ever present in the room for any reason would probably be the worst for me.
Following that, I would say some silly moments where I got super nervous while playing against a friend in Quake III Arena and kept dancing around her in circles and missing at point blank range were the most embarrassing.

You failed at something simple, like a simple mission in GTA like a race and you are the highest level the the others LOL

I get embarrassed if I crash in Rome in GT6.  I love the city street course and have logged more miles there than I can count, so any mishap there is a bit embarrassing.

It's completely understandable mate. As I said, it's not for everyone and I actually witness a friend destroy a controller over it so no worries.

And that's the issue we have in society nowadays - the lack of self control and self discipline.

Just the lame teachers 😉

You're right in that there's only so much they can do to make realistic racing games less repetitive. That's the reason why these kinds of games occupy a niche market because they generally appeal to specific types of gamers.

Well the problem is how many ways can you jazz up auto racing?  I love racing to death, but others might not, its an acquired taste I guess.

Yeah, the PS1 was one of the few things that made the late '90's worth living in, besides Drew Bledsoe, Paul Pierce, Antoine Walker and late '90's NASCAR.  And Rage Against the Machine, but my vote goes to the PS1.

Considering that I have several hundred games, I take forever to pick. First off I have to pick which system I want to play, which in itself is an ordeal. Then I have to go over my list, which is an even harder choice. What genre do I want to play? I have no idea half the time, and I'm so indecisive that sometimes I just go watch TV or read a book. But that there is a problem due to my indecisiveness.
I've posted my library several times, but here it is again, just to show how hard it is for me to make a choice.

A little bit of a decision, as I have a couple to chose from, huh?

It was just a reference due to Pepsi having released a game. I don’t even want to think of them releasing a console. That is a truly horrifying concept.

Hmm, most over-rated games. Well, I'd say Madden NFL games. I don't understand why they're so popular. They're one of the most over-rated games out there, and on top of that, they probably don't even update much every year. Another over-rated game, is Destiny 1&2. I never got into the series, and I tried. I was interested when I played the first game beta, pre-ordered it and I remember losing interest really fast. 
 
You can totally add Call of Duty to the list as well. It's one of the most over-rated franchises out there. Some of the games in the series are great, but a lot of them turn out to be messes. Modern Warfare 2 was a mess with hackers, which made my interest in the game sour. But, I ended up really enjoying Modern Warfare 3. I also really loved the first Black Ops, but the sequels after it, ruined the Black Ops franchise for me. Black Ops 3 is the one I specifically remember hating with a passion. It just didn't feel like Cod anymore at that point. 
I agree it's over-rated, but for the time it was something different. That's the big reason it blew up so big. Tetris is an easy to access game for most people. It's easy to get into, but tough to master. But I can understand tetris being over-rated, because it's not as good as it's hyped up to be. 
I agree about the GTA Series, mostly in regards to the stories. I was into the stories for most of the games, but they always seem to blow it near the end. GTA IV's ending was so anticlimactic. I expected the story to revolve around Niko going after the guy who wronged him in Romania or wherever it was. But, SPOILER - you can kill/spare the guy near the middle of the game. The story continues and that always kind of bugged me. I forget what happens after that, it's been so long since I played GTA IV.
I enjoyed GTA V's story for the most part, but those endings were boring. As well, it seemed like the ending was rushed. Just didn't like it. As well, they promised us story DLC for GTA V way before the game was released I believe. And they never delivered on that. I don't care about GTA Online. 
As for Hellblade, I kind of liked the combat, but I agree it was essentially a walking/light power walking simulator with some combat sprinkled in. I didn't get all the rune things, and I had like 3 or 4 I missed through the whole game. I wanted to 100% it, but no way was I going to replay to find just those 3-4 runes. I did kind of like the story though. I hope the sequel that's coming out, upgrades the combat and gets that running speed up. And less of the walking around so much. 
 

How I feel is if it's good it's good regardless if it's violent or not, has to have a compelling story.
