  1. 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.
  2. I must have missed out on this myself as I can't say I ever remember playing a game myself that had this feature and it seems like a really awesome and different feature if I am honest. Any games I have played have always had the catalogue method where you can mass buy things in the game or just purchase something. Even with a game such as animal crossing it's always a catalogue type way of doing it and not picking things up from a shelf. That would actually be cool in Animal Crossing.
  3. Yes! Fortnite is one of those games that has changed the way I approach games now. I used to be a player that would do a lot of run and gun rather than wait it out and plan my next move. With Fortnite I have been able to adapt to waiting it out and being patient rather than running and gunning which was always a bad idea whenever I would do that in Fortnite. I guess in games such as Call of Duty I would still run and gun to an extent but I would probably be more cautious of my surroundings.
  4. I have played a few boxing games in my time gaming but I will be honest when I say that I haven't played any in a while and that is more than likely because they do not seem to get released as much as they used to. This could be a sign that they are coming back which is a good thing for those who are huge fans of boxing and the games. I may give this game a try as I am always out for trying new games but not sure if it will be a game I will stick to.
  5. It really depends on the games you enjoy playing and how much you enjoy playing them. To be able to master a game for esports it would have to be a game that you play a lot and wouldn't mind spending the hours on to better yourself. For example for me it would more than likely have to be Fortnite that I would end up choosing to master for esports and more competitive play just because it's a game that I play a lot and I enjoy playing for hours at a time when I have the chance.
  6. From what I understand it is compulsory that all players part of an esports event must use controllers or even keyboards and mouses that are provided and not their own to prevent any kind of issues with possible modded controllers being brought into the event. This is great to be honest as could you imagine how bad modding would get if they allowed themselves to bring in their own equipment in. It's a good decision on their part for sure.
  7. If I am gaming competitively and I lose or get outplayed some how I will get frustrated with myself and the game to some extent but I will always think to myself as well how I could have done better or what I could have done different to prevent what happened. I have found that throughout the years of taking this into account and using it and looking at my mistakes it has made me a better gamer not just competitively but also in general as well.
  8. This was posted a while back but it got me thinking towards games that are out now that could potentially become or may already be esports games. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 are all games that have released recently which I can honestly see becoming part of esports. Another that I think would be really good to see but not sure if it is in esports yet is Apex Legends especially with their arena mode that they have now, that would make for a great esports if I am honest.
  9. As someone who has played games in the past such as Call of Duty, Fortnite, Apex Legends I have found that the only thing that can improve your aim and even your overall game play is time and practice. The more you play and the more you analyse your mistakes the better you will become within time. You will also find that you will notice ways such as how to change settings better benefit you as a gamer within the game as well that helps you become a better player.
  10. I believe that one day cloud gaming may be capable enough to handle esports and professional tournaments but at the moment that is still a work in progress for many. I know myself I often find myself playing games on the cloud through Xbox and their cloud gaming service and compared to what it was like a few years ago when they first released it to now, the connection and stability is definitely a lot better than it ever was which shows good progress. It may be some time before we see cloud gaming and esports become a thing but I feel in time we will see it.
  11. Jumping into pro gaming is definitely very risky unless you are very confident that you will be able to live up to the big leagues and their game play if I am honest. In terms of pay I would say that varies from game to game as to how much you would earn being a pro gamer and even in esports. I know in some cases some people can earn anything from around $3000 but that may not always be the case with all games or even a game you may be a pro in yourself.
  12. Mario Kart is still a fun and amazing game to play today and I still find myself jumping on it on the Nintendo Switch every so often. As much as I have the ability to use different ways to play the game, I always opt for a wired controller when I play Mario Kart, mainly because I feel that I play better than way and it just feels more comfortable for me. I remember playing it on the Wii with the wheel when that was released as I messed up so many times and so bad, so controller all the way for me!
  13. This is actually a really easy one for me now to be honest and I only found out about it yesterday when I was looking out of curiosity to see if singing games were still a thing and I found Let's Sing for the Nintendo Switch with the newest release being 2023. Looking to hopefully get this for Christmas as some extra fun, super glad I found out they still do singing games for consoles and especially for the Nintendo Switch.
  14. This is actually awesome and I can not say that I blame you for wanting to resist the temptation in opening it. Question is, did you end up opening it or is it still sealed and did you manage to fight the temptation? Something like this definitely seems to be like it's one you would want to keep safe and for a long time.
  15. I haven't as of yet purchased a Switch Lite but I have been toying with the idea if I am honest. At the moment I still have the first release Nintendo Switch with the dock and also the handheld way you can use it but it can be quite a pain to take out and about to game on the go. I would love to jump on the Switch Lite when I am able to just so that I have one that is more compatible as a on the go console and also the one that can be used on the TV.
  16. I remember folding flip phones way back when I was younger and they were all the rage when they were first released. Roll forward to now and looking at the folding phones that are releasing now it would seem that they fold over with the screen so to speak. Seems crazy that you would be able to fold a phone and not mess the screen up or I guess that is their intention. I have seen people who have purchased these phone and have posted about how they used it and it messed the screen up. Definitely not a phone I would jump to if I am honest with the issues it seems to have.

    Among us

    Hasn't Among Us been out a lot longer than 2020? I am sure I heard the game had been out a while before it became popular in 2020. I remember my two sons would have this game on their phone and they would be spending hours on it with their friends, definitely was a way of testing the trust within your friendship group that's for sure! I know it's also available now on Xbox and was available through Game Pass and that is where I ended up playing it, would definitely play it through mobile though on the go to pass the time.
  18. I believe Apex Legends is now available for all unless I am mistaken. I have it myself on my Android device and I have played it a few times and I have found it to play and run smoothly, I just struggle with the mobile controls if I am honest and would love for there to be a way to maybe play it with a bluetooth controller but not sure if it's possible. Definitely worth a download though if you are an Apex Legends fan and would love to play the game on the go.
  19. This must have been a game that I missed as I do not remember seeing it on Facebook and I was frequently on Facebook when games on there where a huge rage with users of the platform. Curious as to whether this is still a thing or still available to play though as I would like to check it out just to see what it's like. I may check them out on Twitter too if they are still doing this on the platform.

    Twisty Towers

    This game looks really interesting and does look like something I would play a lot of. It seems like the kind of game that you would sit and play and would get addicted to and being that I got easily addicted to Tetris and this game seems to be similar to that in a way, I can only imagine how addicted I may get to it. It's a shame it is on iOS though and not on Android as I have an Android phone myself.
  21. My current phone has 128GB but I know that the OS takes some of that so all in all I would have to say that it has around 120GB for me to use for apps and such on the device. At the moment I have 9 game on my phone and I still have quite a bit of space left as well for other stuff that I need and I could probably add more games on if I wanted to but at the moment I don't have any games that I would be interested in.
  22. To be honest, Apple replacing the sim card tray is not really a surprise to me as I always expect them to change something when they release a new phone and anything is possible at this point. I remember being shocked that they got rid of the headphone jack when they did but people adapted to that and I feel with the change of the sim card tray, they will also adapt to that as well.
  23. When you mention dating in a video game the one game that springs to mind for me is The Sims. I can't say I have ever come across any other game that I have played or that I know of that has had a date within the story line of the game. It does sound interesting though especially where you could explore whilst on this date. I guess if I was to play a game that had this kind of scenario in it I would want to be able to choose say multi choice on what I would say or do during the date, I feel that would be quite interesting.
  24. I think for me when you speak of a game and whether I would sit and teach someone a game I enjoy myself I would have to go with Yoahi's Island being that it is available to play on the Nintendo Switch so it would be a game that I could teach someone to play. My kids have never experienced or played Yoahi's Island before so I would love to be able to sit and teach my children this game and allow them to experience it as I feel given time, they would really enjoy this game.
  25. The last game I played was again Fortnite for a little while last night before I went to bed. I will admit that I haven't played as much of the new Chapter and Season as I would have liked because life if so chaotic and busy at the moment but I am hoping to get some more time in especially for the Christmas stuff that I believe is coming out this week.
