A lot of their retro games can be downloaded for free on emulator and you can play for free on windows using DOSBOX.

That's cool. Maybe someday I will try the games and use the emulator that you've mentioned.

I am not fan of the EA games. They add nothing new to their fracnhise. just same old games every year. 

This is true. While they do add some new stuff it's nothing to get excited about. That's why I get a EA sports game once every 2 or 3 years and by then it's worth getting the game because there's 'more' new features

[Star Wars on sale on steam]

Man, I missed this sale?! I had no idea it was on sale on May 4/3... I know this is REALLY late but dang.

I'm even later responding to this. I had no idea about that sale either otherwise I might have got it! Oh well, maybe it will be on sale next year! I will have to try to remember that.

In a word, overheating.  repeated electrical loading and unloading of the CPU, GPU and RAM would cause these components to repeatedly heat up and cool down.  As this happens the solder used to connect these to the main board would sometimes fracture under the stress and eventually disconnect, hence "Red Ring of Death".

 

 Lots of people seemed to single out microsoft and their design of the XBox 360 and it got quite a reputation for it which is a bit unfair.  The truth is this was a fairly common failure in other consoles (I mentioned the PS3’s I went through) and various Laptop and desktop computers as well even to this day.  They seem to have improved the cooling systems so thankfully it’s not as common in the XBox One and PS4 as it was last gen.

With the way technology has improved it probably doesn't happen as much now as it has in the past which you have mentioned. It would be great if someday we will never have to experience the 'red ring of death' for our systems.

[Favorite Older X-Box Game]

I cant think of anything other than HALO. 

Exactly my thoughts. Although I never owned the game I would be playing the game with High school friends at their house. We even had all nighters playing the game.

[Were you a victim to the RROD back in the day?]

Thankfully I never had to experience this problem. What is the cause for this problem? Is it because people are playing games for too long at a time?

This looks like a ton of fun. Kind of reminds me of overwatch in a way. I think a lot of devs are trying to go for that feel I think. 

It's free to play. 🙂 

Oh that's awesome then! I will definitely have to grab a copy of it so I can start playing the game. Maybe this will be the new Fortnite in regards to popularity.

[Have you ever dreamt about a video game?]

If I have dreamed about a video game I don't remember it. I usually don't remember my dreams the next morning that I wake up. It would be nice to remember dreams (unless they are nightmares of course)

[Pokemon Let's Go]

I for one have never been much into Pokemon games. I have some friends who are really into Pokemon and they have this game. It does seem like quite a bit of money to buy the game but that could be said for most games these days.

[If you could remaster one old game, which would it be?]

For me I would say my first pick would be the Donkey Kong games. They were my favorite for the Super Nintendo. I would try to remaster it in a few days.

[Would you own...?]

I hear of people owning all the current video game consoles. That'd be a lot of money spent on gaming but it could be worth it.

Would you own all the current gaming consoles if you could? Do you already own all the current gaming consoles?

[Do you have any unopened games in your collection?]

I usually don't buy physical games much anymore they are all digital. I have purchased some games that I haven't tried playing yet.

I have played all my physical games that I currently own.

[Will the PS5 be the last PlayStation?]

They might stop at a certain number but they will probably change the console name like Xbox does with theirs.

I don't think any console company will stop making future consoles. People will always buy as many people enjoy playing video games.

[Best puzzle game???]

I would not have imagined that there are puzzle video games. I do like a physical puzzle board challenge once in awhile. They should have virtual reality puzzles where you put the pieces together using the motion controllers. That would be kind of fun.

[If you could only play 1 video game..]

If I have the choice of picking PC, Definitely PC and anyone would be stupid not to pick it.

But if PC isn't an option then perhaps either the PS4, with the switch being a close second

I would respectfully disagree that anyone would be stupid not to pick it. Many of the games I enjoy playing is not available on PC. Sure, PC games are great but the ones I usually play is only for consoles. So maybe those gaming companies are stupid then for not making the games available on PC  😁

[Do you collect gaming controllers?]

This is a good question. I have never thought of to collect controllers. Maybe I should have and should start doing so now. When I sold my other consoles, the controllers went with it.

[Last Game Played]

The last game I played and have been all that I've been playing really is NHL 18. I'm so far in the dynasty mode I'm trying to complete it.

[Television]

I have a Samsung 43 inch HDTV. I am happy with it especially since I got it on sale for $198  regular price was over 500. Gotta love those Black Friday sales! 

[Is There A Platform You're Just Not Interested In?]

I've never been interested in the Xbox even thpugh its a cool name. Growing up all my friends (and still do) have always been big on Playstation and I wanted to play online with them. I don't play much mobile games either.

[8K Screen Resolution]

Are we really able to perceive 8K or anything beyond that? 
4k looks nice but for me the difference between 4k and 1080p are minimal. I would much rather have a big 65 or 75 1080p TV than a 4k.

I agree with this. I don't really tell the difference between tv graphics unless its a major difference. I am happy with my hdtv and it's only a 43 inch.

[Sega Dreamcast]

I had a Sega Game gear but I have never had the Sega Dreamcast before. One of my friends had one so I did get to play his. I remember it being pretty fun.

[What console are you buying day one?]

If I had to pick it would be the PS5 but I think I will wait awhile as my PS4 still works great. Nintendo would be second.

[How many games do you have in your backlog?]

That's a huge collection you have @The Blackangel  nice!! For me I think I have about 75 games in my collection.

[Social Media and Gaming?]

I don't even have any social media accounts myself so that's a no from me. Even if I did have social media I wouldn't use it for sharing gaming stuff. I wouldn't think any people would care about it if I did post things about it.

[HP Computers - What do you think about them as a company?]

I have a HP computer. I've had it for the last 8 years and it's still going good. I think I paid around 400 for it I got it on sale also. Yes some items seemed to be over priced than others.

How long ago did you get this? If it's quite new then I can see your frustration but if its anywhere from 5 to 10 years old,  no technology is built to last forever. I'm already thinking of getting a new computer since mine is 8 years old, it can die on me at anytime since its quite old.
