The very first family computer we had was in 1995. Was pretty mind-blowing at the time, but it only had a 100MHz processor, and it wasn't even connected to the internet! However, the first computer I owned was a Toshiba laptop that I got in 2009. I actually acquired it through a university grant... wasn't the best computer (and it was particularly lacking in hard drive space, with only 65GB), but other than that, it did the job 🙂 .

Yeah, sometimes I do. Especially when I have the light off, and the room is lit only by my monitor... it usually makes the game more atmospheric, when there's absolutely nothing else around to distract my senses from it (and if anything, the surrounding darkness only [i]adds[/i] to the suspense!)

Another one I've never seen is Avatar. I know, there can't be many people left who haven't seen it - but, it just wasn't on my "must-watch" list at the time. I was kinda curious about the 3D, but that was the only thing drawing me to it (and on its own, it just wasn't enough to convince me to go and see it).

The Sims 4 (again). Fortunately, my Sims were more cooperative this time around!

Probably not, but at least every week 😛 . If I ate it every day, then I'd miss the higher-quality foods that I also enjoy!

I use both, although I prefer Gmail. (The main reason why I still use Hotmail is because I've been using it since 2004, and I can't be bothered changing my email address on all the things I've been using it for 😛 )

No, I haven't. Seems more trouble than it's worth for my needs, TBH.

The Sims 4 Was very frustrating... my Sims just would not do what I asked them to >_< . In the end, I just quit without saving.

A shame... did they never let you play 😞 ?

1) Definitely not... I've always been horrible at flirting. (The only relationships I've ever had, including my current one, were where she made the first move) 2) No, and I'm similarly horrible at picking up on whether or not someone else is flirting with me. 3) Absolutely not. I can't imagine even *wanting* to flirt with anybody other than my current partner!

Yeah, the whole "1 dog year = 7 human years" thing doesn't really work, because dogs don't age in the same way that humans do: they reach maturity at an earlier stage of their lifespan. Furthermore, the oldest dogs are considerably more than one-seventh of the age of the oldest humans: you sometimes get dogs living past 20, but you don't get humans living past 140! I've read that a more accurate equivalence would be: the first year of a dog's life is equivalent to 21 human years, and every subsequent year is equivalent to 4 human years. So, for example, an 8-year-old dog would be the equivalent of a (21 + 7*4) = 49-year-old human.

That's precisely why it sounds so dangerous 😛 . With Voldemort and the Death-Eaters running around, people constantly have to fear for their own lives!

Gain 10 pounds. I would be completely lost without the internet.

I think the earlier Batman: Arkham games benefited from this. Arkham Asylum had quite a small world, but it didn't feel too small. Arkham City expanded on this, and felt like it hit the sweet spot. Arkham Origins began to feel too large - and while I haven't touched Arkham Knight, it was larger still.

Let's give this a go 😛 . Trick or treat!

Excluding chess, the last game I played would probably have been The Sims 4, a couple of days ago.

Sometimes. I might read the sports pages (about the F1), but that's pretty much it.

I've never seen any of the James Bond movies. Never really appealed to me all that much, so I've never had a reason to. (Some of the theme songs are great, though!)

One that I really enjoyed was the Mata Nui Online Game, back in 2001. Looking back at it, it wasn't exactly deep mechanically (it was just a point-and-click adventure, after all), but it oozed charm! Got me hooked on Bionicle for the next few years.

Quite possibly. I imagine it'll be helpful to be familiar with the main Harry Potter storyline before playing Hogwarts: Legacy (since the game will essentially be back-story to that) - but, it certainly won't be essential! I'm sure this game will be structured in such a way that anybody can pick up and play it, even if they aren't a fan of the series 😛 .

Yeah, it was delayed several times, I believe. But hopefully, they'll put the extra time to good use, and deliver a very high-quality game!

Hogwarts Legacy, definitely. I enjoyed some of the Harry Potter games of the early 2000s, but this seems to be on another level altogether!

Roller Coaster Tycoon has some neat little details; for example, there are little ducks in the ponds, and they even migrate in winter. You can tell Chris Sawyer was passionate about what he was doing!

Excluding chess on Chess.com, the last game I played would have been The Sims 4, on Sunday evening.

Definitely be a millionaire. As much as I enjoy reading about the world of Harry Potter, it sounds bloody dangerous to live in!
