    The Chordettes - Mr. Sandman (which is weird they haven't included until now given there's a perk called Mr. Sandman in the earlier games)

    Yeah I played a ton of them, especially those point-and-click type of games with a lot of animation.

    I usually like it a little warm. Sometimes curl up in my duvet on the couch while gaming. Though I’m based in the UK and it’s always cold and windy here for the most part.

    Depends on the time of year. During winter I tend to prefer a hot cozy temperature while during summer I want a more cool temperature to cool off from the heat outside.

    Alyxx got a reaction from DC in Games for specific genders   
    For most AAA games it feels like they are trying to target both demographics with things that cater to both. And with most games nowadays giving you the option to play as both genders, I feel they are very gender neutral.
    I think gender marketing is more common in the toy business to be honest. As well as TV and cinema tends to sometimes have content that is specifically gender targeted.
    Not saying there aren't games that are very specifically gender targeted, but they're not that common.

    Alyxx got a reaction from DC in Your Top 10 games of the last decade   
    10: Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus
    A game that took everything I loved about Wolfenstein: The New Order and cranked it up to 11. Amazing story that continues where the previous game left off. Just an incredibly engaging and thrilling game that mixes stealth and action perfectly.
    9: DOOM (2016)
    After Doom 3, I was eagerly anticipating another entry in the franchise though it would take quite a while until we got a fourth installment. With 2016's remake/sequel DOOM, I feel we got a pretty proper DOOM game for our generation that keeps the oldschool gameplay but modernizes it in all the right ways. It plays more like Serious Sam than original Doom but has an amazing soundtrack, gorgeous visuals and perfect controls.
    8: Tomb Raider (2013)
    2013's remake of Tomb Raider is probably one of the best action/adventure games to come out this decade. It perfectly captures the essence of Tomb Raider but still gives Lara a more proper reboot point and shows us a side of her that is less hardened. Being the first of a trilogy that ended with last year's Shadow Of The Tomb Raider, we've now witnessed Lara's growth into the badass she's meant to be.
    7: Duke Nukem Forever (2011)
    A lot of people didn't really like this one when it came out but in my opinion it is arguably the best game in the franchise. It captures the essence of Duke Nukem's world and character and also has more gameplay variety than its predecessor. It's not a very good but as a Duke Nukem game it's pretty much a goddamn homerun. It's bad taste humor, it's pop culture references and most of all, Duke is the king of the world. From beginning to end I just consider it a really fun experience if you can allow yourself to not take it too seriously or go all SJW on it.
    6: Saints Row IV
    It's Saints Row The Third with super powers, more dubstep and DLC that allows you to play with the gang from Hey Ash Whatcha Playing. It's all around a good time in my opinion.
    5: Far Cry 5
    Far Cry 5 might be my favourite in the franchise. It's the first one to be a perfect co-op game for one, and has the most gorgeous environment of all the games in my opinion (easily rivaled by Far Cry 4 though). I also love the characters and the world and just love getting lost in it.
    4: Fallout 4
    It's not a good Fallout game. But as a standalone experience it's still ace. Have spent way more hours than I like to admit on this game.
    3: Deus Ex: Human Revolution
    Just all around one of the best game experiences I had this decade. Open ended gameplay, engaging story and an amazing soundtrack. And despite lackluster boss fights, it's one of my favourite games.
    2: Bulletstorm
    Cursing protagonists, a dystopian sci-fi setting and some of the most fun and inventive ways to kill people I've ever seen. If you haven't played it I highly recommend picking up the Full Clip edition on Steam now.
    1: Borderlands 2
    It took everything I loved about Borderlands 1: The Diablo-esque gameplay, the bazillion guns, and gave it a much better story, better visuals and all around is a perfect co-op shooter in my opinion. It's even more fun with community patches.

    I just want to know what exactly would happen to anyone who climbed that 150' ice wall at the edge. Would they be magically transported to the other side, or would they fall off into outer space?

    I haven't played a Co-Op game in a long time now. When I do, I tend to play with close friends or family members which makes the envirnment less stressful and more relaxed. I don't worry about letting my team mate down as it's not about winning, it's taking part and spending quality time with your friend or family relative.

    Alyxx reacted to skyfire in FPS game graphics...   
    I'd say any modern game in FPS category can be good for the gaming. You can consider anthem, which is new and also good at gaming. Another good game to test out is the Resident Evil 2 remake. You can also try out metro exodus. Most of these new games are pretty much high on 3D graphics. And may even require you to have new graphics card on your side for proper experience.

    Far cry 4 and 5 would be my favorite pick. The graphics used in both games were awesome. There are so many other great games with such high quality improvements on the graphics used.

    I think anthem is being criticized for no reason. i loved the gameplay of anthem. I think it has potential. I am sure that more and more such high graphics game get in the market. I prefer having a strong story though something anthem like games lack. But fall out 76 is not worth it. I have seen the gameplay over and over and trying to decide if it's worth it. unless you played previous fall out games, it's not worth it.

    Fallout 76 I gave a fairly positive review but I just haven't really felt like playing it much lately even if I've enjoyed it despite how much of a mess it is.
    Anthem on the other hand I freaking love and my opinion of it is pretty much diametrically opposed to the majority's. I'm seriously addicted to it and have loved every second I've played of it. Is it without its flaws though? Hell no and I do plan to point those out in my eventual review of it. But it's definitely on my top 10 games of 2019 list so far.
