We're all used to the console wars each generation, but in recent years, we've seen a lot of respect come from each side. It's as if these companies are starting to get used to each other, and are respectful of each other. Back in the 90s and 2000s, it was always about which one was best, and all sides would throw shade. These days, it's not much like that anymore. With that being said though, do you ever think that these three powerhouses will ever work together. Nintendo has already worked with Microsoft, so it's not far from reality. What do you guys think?

Well looks like Nintendo is pulling their legal weight around again, and are doing copyright claims on Game & Watch hacking videos. According to the article at Ars Technica a hacker by the name of stacksmashing, was able to hack a Game & Watch console to put games on it. His videos showing non nintendo games are still up, but it looks like the video showing how to hack the device, was removed via Nintendo. Which I guess makes sense, but I feel like, once you own that device, you should be free to modify it as you see fit. Especially considering it's not an online device, I don't see why Nintendo can't let this happen. But of course, Nintendo has to strike everything down.

With the recent Game and Watch released by Nintendo, it got me thinking, what old retro like consoles/devices do you think we'll see coming out? It seems nostalgia is a big key here, and I could see those hand held tiger electronics making a comeback. In fact, they already did a re-release of some classed tiger handhelds. Maybe they will actually make some with an LED screen or something, and with updated graphics. I think that'd be dope. What do you guys think? What retro devices/consoles would you like to get a reboot today?

What are some games that were overhyped and are now forgotten? Maybe Cyberpunk 2077 will go up soon enough. I think one game that comes to mind, is L.A. Noire. I know it had a remastered release, but I feel it was a game that got a lot of hype and is now a bit forgotten. What are some other games you feel were over-hyped and then once it released, was all but forgotten? Oh, another game that comes to mind, is A Way Out. After playing it the first time, I didn't feel like it was as good as people were making it sound. I only did one play-through, and I have no intention of doing another.

I'm not a big fan of asus, because my last laptop made it tough to upgrade, as I had to take the whole thing apart to access the ram area and other parts of the PC. It was only a cheap old laptop though, so maybe they have made their new laptops more accessible to upgrades.

I think the only few that come to mind, are The Sega Dreamcast, Atari Jaguar and maybe the Apple Pippin as I'd like to see if any games were made for it.

I imagine what will happen, is that someone will release their own version of flash. There's got to be someone out there making it, or maybe a browser just for flash. But the best guess would probably be for an extension for chrome and other browsers to support flash. Or, flash sites will just have to adapt to different platforms.

Stuff like Leisure Suit Larry, Metal Gear Rising, Mount Your Friends (lol this one is good), or anything on the Xbox 360 indie games library. Also something like Deadly Premonition. Even though it's something I never played, I got a ton of laughs from it when I watched a lets play of it.

I wouldn't say that's an unpopular opinion at all. I think for the most part, games do express ideas and emotions, and also can be political and have a message. I think people only have a problem, is when they start to force a message on someone, or an idea. As well, I think gamers know what to expect from the games they get.

Who here is going to get this game? Bloober team just released a new live action trailer, and it really sells it for me. What do you guys think? I hear the dual world thing is going to be quite cool, so I can't wait to see how that plays out.

I remember back on the PS1 and a few older consoles, that they had music makers. I think MTV had a music maker, and I think there was a few others released on consoles back then. But, why is it that they haven't made any other music making games since? I feel like that genre is a bit over looked these days. Would you welcome them making new music making games? Maybe MTV can come back and make a MTV music maker again. Or was it MTV Music Generator? Either way, I wouldn't mind more games like that coming up. What do you guys think?

I think Mario Tennis was the game I saw when I saw a virtual boy at a thrift store years ago. I wish I bought it back then lol 😞 I just had a thought, but it would be cool if Nintendo remastered all of the games on the virtual boy for the Switch, but of course, with updated graphics and actual colors haha.

I read this article here at Gaming Instincts about the top 10 things they'd like to see added to a MP mode for Last of Us 2. I agree with a lot of what was mentioned, but what stands out for you? What things would you like to see added that isn't on that list? I could see Battle Royale working really well in this world.

With the recent news that Ubisoft would be working on a new Star Wars games as well (EA is still involved with some games, so they're not 100% out), it got me thinking. What other studios do you think will get the chance to make a Star Wars game? What studios deserve to make a Star Wars game?

If I can't complete a mission or level, or get past a boss, and it's just something I can't get through, I will quit. I won't keep up with it, as it just becomes too frustrating. I also like to hit myself when I can't beat a level, so I would rather it not come to that. If you're wondering, I like to punch my leg, or if it's real bad, I slap myself in the face lol. No joke, so I cna't play anything too hard.

Depends on the game, if it's resources I can easily find, I don't worry about using them up. But if it's something that's important and I need to save as long as possible, I'll try to save it as long as I can before I have to use it.

To find myself, sure maybe. I never really found myself playing a game before, but I could one day. I do use games as an escape from life, work, everything.

Yeah I never understood how much lore that game got. If they actually made it into a survival horror game somehow, I would maybe try it.

There was a mission in Black Ops 2 I think, where you play as one of the villains and play a bit of his backstory, and you go through this drug fuelled rage and kills a bunch of enemies with a machete I think. I may be forgetting how it played out, as I haven't played the game in a long time. But I just remember feeling like a badass going through these guys with ease.

Do you guys think they will ever add anything weird to esporting events? Like new challenges, or maybe even physical challenges. I think it'd be fun to see two players challenged to a popular game after being spun around for a while. Make it little mini games or something. I think it would add to an esporting event. What are some ideas you'd like to see added to esporting events? Maybe a half time show for big shows?

So EA lands another studio, how fantastic. Like we need another studio to die at the hands of EA. Ugh. Anyway, this is kind of sad news, as Take Two was actually trying to get it, but EA was just too flush with money and they got the highest bid. Anyway, I can't recall what games the Codemasters team is responsible for, but I'm sure there are some gems in their catalog. What do you think EA will do with the studio?

Has anyone noticed that Rust has become more popular than it once was? I hear it started to get an increase of people streaming it and doing lets plays of it. Why are people jumping now all of a sudden? Is it worth checking out now? I hear it was in early access forever and was released a year or two ago. Who here plays it? And would you recommend it? I saw some gameplay of it, and I don't know if it's really my thing, but everyone I know has jumped on the bandwagon and I figure I may as well too.

More news to share on CDPR. They responded about the problematic launch of Cyberpunk 2077. Here is that video. What do you guys think? Did you like their response?

Here's hoping this results in other properties moving away from EA, because I would love to see The NFL take their license elsewhere after the recent years of Madden NFL, or even the various other sports games they released. What other licenses does EA have? Even so, I wouldn't trust Ubisoft with Star Wars either.

Yeah, they have keyboards, mics, headsets, headphones, controllers, ram, and more. I think they even have lighting and might even be making computer chairs.
