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 currently have a gaming mouse myself. I did have a gaming mouse that came with my PC when I purchased it but it slowly went on me and my son then got his PC earlier this year and got a gaming mouse with his but he also bought another gaming mouse that he wanted and preferred so he gave me the one that came with his PC to replace the one that had broken on me. I don't know the make of it but it's pretty cool looking with RGB and all the buttons you need for gaming.

Thank you for this Kane 🙂 yeah I am always super cautious where I buy anything from to be honest, especially when it comes to as you say, a site that allows the users to buy and sell their own codes. You can never be too careful in this world and especially not in the internet world and it not too cautious, you will always find yourself caught out.

I have never played Five Nights at Freddy's myself but I have seen it played by others on live streams in the past and the game looks a lot of fun. I can honestly see how they would be able to make it into a movie and feel it would really work as a movie. With it being such a popular game, I can only imagine how popular the movie will end up being on release. Super looking forward to the release of this as I may check it out.

Something like COD mobile would be amazing to see come to consoles and Nintendo Switch would probably be the perfect console for that. I have COD mobile on my phone and I have played it a few times and I do enjoy it and seeing that come to something like the Nintendo Switch would be great. As much as I don't mind using the phone screen to interact with the game, controllers and joy-cons are so much better.

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 🙂

It wasn't really a game that pushed me to get an Xbox One in 2013 but more the fact that I have always been an Xbox fan and wanted to upgrade to the latest console when it was released and I was able to do so when it came out. I am a little behind this time though with the newer console mainly due to the price it is now to upgrade to the Series X which is the one I would like to go to from my One X.

Being in the UK we don't get anything like this to be honest. I mean we have crisps (potato chips) that we get such a we can get bacon rashers, cheese puffs, salt and vinegar sticks and such but they are not performance snacks. To be honest, I don't think I have seen any kind of performance snacks in the UK or at least not any I have seen as there may be some and I may have missed them.

Not being too much of a PlayStation player myself I never really play for trophies but if there was a chance for me to get a platinum trophy I would probably jump on it to be honest just to say that I had one. I guess it would be like an achievement for me to have one being I don't really play PlayStation.

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 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.

Fortnite first started out with Save the World and to this day, even with the Battle Royale side of things, Save The World still seems to be quite popular for so many especially with the quests they have to earn vBucks as well which is always something every Fortnite player wants. I was actually receiving vBucks myself for logging into Save The World each day, I would get say 150 vBucks after logging in for so many days and on the odd occasion I would get 300 or even 800. Since they changed how the game loads up now and how you get into Save The World I forget to log in for my daily bonus. Do you play Save The World? How are you liking Save The World? I feel it makes a nice change from the Battle Royale side of things.

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!

We all have a time when we purchase a phone and it doesn't live up to expectations at all. It either isn't as good as it said it would be or you have nothing but issues with it right out of the box and regret making the purchase you did. I remember when I was younger, my Mum bought be an Alcatel phone and the phone was great but suddenly it started to turn itself off and wouldn't power back on. I never took it into the bathroom with me or had it near any water. When me and my Mum took it back and mentioned it they said they would send it in for repair. I was without a phone for about a week only for them to come back and say that we had damaged it as it was damp on the inside, they tried to accuse us of taking it in the bathroom and also having it near water which wasn't the case. We in the end got a refund and never went back to the store for a phone again and I have steered clear of Alcatel phones ever since. Have you ever had any issues with a phone you bought? What were they?

As much as I would probably have a use for them when buying game keys in bulk I have never done so due to not really having a use for them at the time. I do love the fact you can buy games in bulk for a low price and some of them are usually really good games as well for the price so you can end up with a bargain or maybe more when buying keys that way.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I remember back when I used to use Facebook quite frequently I used to play a lot of the games on there and one of them was Farmville. Out of curiosity I had a look on the Google Play Store and found that it is now available as a mobile app called Farmville 2: Country Escape. Has anyone here tried Farmville 2: Country Escape? What are your thoughts on it? I am installing it now to take a look.

Back when my Dad had an Amiga I always remember him sitting and playing The Lemmings and through watching him play, I got interested in the game and would often ask if I could play. I remember the game being a ton of fun but very frustrating as you progressed through the levels and I would often get annoyed by the fact that I struggled to get past certain levels. I remember hearing that it was supposed to make a comeback but I never heard anything else after that. It would be cool to see The Lemmings make a comeback. Did you ever play The Lemmings?

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.

One of the games I remember playing a lot as a child was Pacman. I remember how addictive this game would be when I was a kid and how my parents would always struggle to get me off the game to get ready for bed or even ready for school. It's a really addictive but fun game and the fun part for me was always trying to beat my high score. I am so happy that we now have the ability to play Pacman in the form of a Battle Royale game on the Nintendo Switch as it means I can still play the game but in a more fast paced way. Did you play Pacman growing up and have you played the Battle Royale version on the Nintendo Switch?

I do not have any customized controllers or gear at the moment but I have in the past looked into the Elite 2 controller and also creating my own unique controller through the Xbox Store but the prices at the moment for those are way too much for me to pay under the circumstances. If anything was to change and I was to ever have enough money to get one of these controllers I would jump on it for sure.

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.
