Fortnite are today doing a tournament where you can compete for one million dollars in the MrBeast Extreme Survival Event. You have been able to practice on it since Tuesday the 13th December and today, 17th December is the big tournament day.

Have you tried the MrBeast Extreme Survival Event? Have you competed in the tournament? I myself am trying my luck at the tournament but at the moment not sure I'll get close to the top prize, will be nice to get the smaller prizes though.

I sure do miss them, you never seem to see them anymore if I am honest and it's a shame that we don't. I know there are some places that still have them but it's very rare and few and far between and in some cases you have to travel quite a distance to use them. It would be awesome if places like that would make a comeback but I feel it's just too much to ask now. 

Yep, in the early 2000s, I used to go to the arcade every Saturday but unfortunately, Covid has forced most of them out of business.

I agree - I don't see much changing.
To be honest, I just expect a solid experience - nothing spectacular. Just solid...

I agree - I don't even understand Death Stranding's lore AT ALL whereas I'm far more versed in Metal Gear and Metal Gear is the far more interesting universe.

Tough one! probably for me, right now it's the Playstation Vita. I loved it back at launch when I got mine, and i love it now to this day. My console is hacked so it does a lot of cool stuff and I'm in the process of getting a bigger SD card for it so I can load up all of my Vita and PS1 titles.

Oh yeah, I've heard of that one before - I'll check it out.

That's good - which RP server are they on?

Grand Theft Auto doesn't really count since they are still putting out content for GTA V and are working on a new game as we speak. This was mostly meant for games that have quit coming out, or haven't released a game in a long time. GTA is just taking its sweet old time to release a new game, because they're going to keep milking GTA V for as long as they can. 

I used to be someone who focused on my gamerscore, especially when I was achievement hunting way back. I am at the moment at 73,238 and I haven't gained any more achievements to be honest since earlier this year I believe. If I am playing a game and I get an achievement that's great but I don't tend to focus on my gamerscore as much now as I used to. Getting to 100,000 would be a great achievement though 🙂

As much as this would have been great to have on the original Xbox I do believe that broadband fast enough would have still been too young to manage online gaming in such a way that it would have been strong enough to manage. Yes, it would have really helped them but I feel them waiting was the better option in the long run whilst technology got better.

A modern The Warriors game or something similar would be cool. I doubt they would ever remake that game though because it’s based on such an old movie that would also  never be redone. It’s just a thing of the past. 

I don't own any Arcade1Up Cabinets no but they do look awesome and it is something I would love to get myself one day if I was ever able to and had the room to as I feel it would be cool to have a huge gaming room with these included. I have always wanted a gamer room and I know my kids being gamers as well would love something like this to be honest. 

I have in the past sold old consoles and video games back to my local games store for store credit that has helped me buy a newer game or console in the past, however it started getting more difficult when I would hand down old consoles to my children when I would upgrade so I have not sold any consoles for a while to get newer consoles, instead it's been that I have bought them outright for say myself or as gifts for my children for say Christmas. 

It's always a fun time when you hit the top spot but such a bummer when you find out that someone managed to knock you off that top spot in the end and it's always a pain to be able to try and get the top spot back as well no matter how hard you try. I mean I still try when it happens but it usually seems to take forever! 

I honestly did not know that they did a game like this so it must have been one that I missed. It looks like the kind of game I would sit and play though as I have played many games similar in the past. I often sit and look at games that I missed when I was younger and sometimes wish I could go back and play them after missing out. This definitely seems like one of those games for sure! 

I knew there were emulators out there to be able to player older games from older consoles on your PC but it's not something I have ever used to be honest. The only thing I have ever used on my PC has been bluestacks which allows you to download apps from Google Play Store on your PC and play them through your PC which is ideal if you don't have a device capable of running certain games. 

I have definitely had an interest in the Steam Deck but at the moment it is not in my budget. Being able to play certain games away from my PC and have access to my steam library handheld sounds pretty awesome to me. I know that some games are just not compatible for it and I think that is the only thing putting me off as well. I would definitely have to do some more research into it and what games are available before I considered jumping on it.

It's hard for me to say as I haven't even been able to use an i7 nevermind and i9 but everyone seems to be raving about the i9 so it must be good I would have thought. Personally I don't see myself getting a PC with an i9 for a long time due to the price not matter how great it may be and if an i7 works just fine for newer games that would be my go to for now. 

I think i9's and other high thread count processors are really intended for production purposes like audio production, video editing and 3D modelling.  In some cases a high core count processor can be a little slower in games.

Chrono Trigger was another game I never got the pleasure to play unfortunately but I do hear that it was a really great game back in it's time and one I regret missing and not playing. I know there are ways I could still play it I believe and I would love to be able to experience the game at some point when I have the time. Watching YouTube videos on it I definitely feel that I would enjoy the game given the chance to play it. 

It's definitely NOT a worthless hobby. It's pretty much the way of the future. You have communication with others through gaming and making friends; it can be used in schools to help educate; it could have therapeutic effect through VR; there is the art of photography using the photo mode feature; there are job opportunities; there is competition gaming and also through esports; there is military training and could be used for all sorts of job training through simulations. Playing for fun is just one of the many things that's great about gaming. 

I'll be honest and say that I honestly have not played Devil May Cry even though I have had an interest in it. Even when I was younger it was never a game that me and my brothers even got or was able to play and I do feel as though I kinda missed out to some extent as so many people say how much of a great game it is. It's going to have to be a game I play just to say that I have and to have experienced it myself.

There are two games that I would love to be able to spend a day in if I am honest, one of them not so risky and the other a little risky. Fortnite I think would be a really cool game to be part of, I guess because I play it so much I feel that it would be a cool thing to experience being part of the game, my only worry would be the storm and the endless amounts of problems I could run into being in the game. Another game I would love to spend a day in is Animal Crossing New Horizons. Just to be able to spend a day there taking in the sights and just being part of it would be amazing. Again this is a game I played a lot so that is a lot of the reason I feel it would be cool to be part of. 

If I was to say I have never made any money playing video games I would be lying as from 2017 - 2022 I took on content creation and I did make money throughout those years doing just that, playing video games. In terms of any other ways to earn playing video games I have always been skeptical about those and will often overlook them because I worry that they will not be all as it seems.
