We do not have a GameStop in the UK but we have a similar store called Game, they are the same they tend to sell more collectibles than they do physical games now and it does make me wonder if soon, they may just stop selling physical games altogether. Even going in the store you can a lot of the time buy games digitally too so having them physical is usually pointless. Most of the time, the games that are physical that sell are used games that have been sold to the store for credit. I do believe one day we will see physical games no longer available in stores such as GameStop or Game in the UK and digital fully taking over. These stores will simply sit as a place to buy gaming collectibles.

I have often wondered this myself, from what I understand, The Simpsons is still quite popular and I feel a new game on the newest generation of consoles would be welcomed for sure. I have always said about seeing remakes of The Simpsons Hit and Run and also Road Rage but we do not seem to be getting those but a new game would be welcomed with open arms I feel.

I took some days off work the last few days for Christmas and spent it with my family. I last played Fortnite Festival and Rocket Racing on Fortnite last night which was a lot of fun. I have noticed that I have spent a lot less time on battle royale since the new modes released.

With digital games being as popular as they are now and there being no need to always head out anymore to get a game on release, I would be shocked if we saw another release party again. It's a shame as they were a lot of fun to be involved with and due to digital taking over, they seem to have phased out pretty fast. A new release doesn't have the same experience as it used to anymore which is a shame.

It really depends on the game as to how excited I get to be honest, for example with Fortnite and the updates, I find that I get excited about those as much as I used to as a kid with a new game but others I don't seem to get as excited for.

Even though I have always been interested in working on a video game and being involved in the development of one, it has not been something I have been able to do. I know my brother was involved with a group of his friends at University in developing a game and he said he had a lot of fun working on it and developing the game.

The last thing I ate was a korma curry and boiled rice. Korma is the one that I know I can eat and enjoy as it isn't too spicy but it has the flavour there, great comfort food too!

One thing I really enjoy about Christmas dinner is having all the family around one table eating and just talking and being together. We don't always get that often as everyone is so busy so it is nice to have that around Christmas. I also really enjoy the pigs in blankets and the pudding and custard for dessert 🙂

I don't mind the snow if I do not have to be anywhere and I can just sit in and watch the snow instead of being out in it. The worst is when the snow starts to melt and it turns to slush and becomes icy, that stuff if deadly and one I hate to go out in, I feel that is what we tend to get a lot in England though and it's frustrating.

When I was younger, my walls used to be filled with posters of a boyband I was a huge fan of which was 5ive. Now I don't tend to have posters at all and instead just have mini plaques so to speak with sayings on them or family photos around the home on my walls.

I last drank a glass of Pepsi with my dinner not too long ago. Before that it was a cup of tea.

I hate it when men say this and they really do believe what they say, that we are playing hard-to-get and I feel that makes it a whole lot worse. If a woman says no and tells you to stop doing something, that should be it no excuses. I would have to say the creepiest thing a male did to me was try to touch me inappropriately whilst I was sleeping or trying to sleep at a friends house after a party, I pushed him away and told him no but he still continued to the point of where I had to move.

I would have to say money, this is something that could help in so many different ways and stress would be one of them. Knowing you were financially stable to that extent would lift so much weight. It's something that it not likely but would be nice.

I remember the manuals but I don't remember writing in them myself, I do remember my cousin writing in an Alex the Kidd one he had once on how to beat the Rock, Paper, Scissors mini game so that we could complete it. Most of the time the manuals just sat in the cases and that was where they stayed.

This is very unusual and not something I have seen myself before. Usually when uninstalling the game and installing it again, it tends to fix any issues that were in the current install you are on now. Hopefully that helps and you can get it fixed as it does seem like a pain to deal with.

I don't have many retro games but of the ones I do have, I tend to keep them in plastic cases so they stay safe. I know of some people who specifically buy cases and print out their own sheets for them to label them which also sounds like a good idea if you are able to do that .

I saw this advertised and of course, my kids are excited for it, they played the last South Park game so this is one they have been waiting for. I will admit, it does look good and is a game I would play for sure.

I love this mods and have played so much of it throughout the last week or so since it was released. I would like there to be more songs available but I understand it is early days at the moment and new songs are being released even if it is a little slow. I do understand that PDP are working on a guitar for the game and that they will have an announcement in January 2024 so I am excited for that.

Mario Kart will always be on top when it comes to Kart Racers. As you say, Cash Team Racing and Diddy Kong Racing were all games that released and were similar but none of them ever beat Mario Kart. Aside from the ones you mentioned I can't say I know of any other kart racing games but then again, I could have overlooked them. Would be interesting to know if there are any.

I don't feel that gamers are in the wrong for requesting something or even demanding something they wish to see in a game, that is bound to happen but it should be done respectfully so that they have time to address the requests that they get and ensure they are ready and work well in the game. Those who harass and even send death threats to game developers though are a whole different breed and that is something I feel should not be tolerated at all, it's a shame it even happens in the first place.

This game looks like a lot of fun but I have to agree, the gameplay does feel clunky so hoping they fix that before the initial release. This is a unique game with an idea I don't feel I have ever seen before and it looks like it could be a lot of fun with friends too! Definitely keeping an eye on this one!

2023 has certainly taken a lot of good people and it is true, 2023 was not done. Such a shame to see James McCaffrey pass away and at just the age of 65, much like others I had no idea he was battling cancer, would make sense as most prefer to deal with it without the spotlight and the audience. Such a shame, lost another great this year.

I always remember one year, me and my two brothers getting a Sega Master System for Christmas to share, we were so excited. I always remember Alex the Kidd being built into the console and we also got a Sonic game with is as well until we could get more games. That would have to be my favourite console that I opened on Christmas with my brothers.

I feel at this point they will try and jump at anything to get money out of the top companies and Rockstar as we know is a very big company. More than likely believes he will win the case and end up rich but he will as you say, end up disappointed.

I can not believe I forgot that! LOL I always say when they look at us in a certain way "They are plotting our demise" LOL We don't own the cat, they own us, or so they think! 🤣
