  1. I would like to add something, in addition to my last post in this topic. Users can gain points for searching through Bing which can be redeemed for Xbox Live Vouchers and Gift Cards. A huge corporation who gives back to the gaming community, is lovely to see.

    I usually leave it the way it is unless the lighting becomes a true issue.

    That's a vague response. When would you say lighting becomes a "true issue"? Are there any previous scenarios when screen brightness became a real problem while gaming? What percentage do you leave it on? Go to  Start menu - Settings -  System - Display to find out.

    sometims when i play fallout 3 i sit down look up what feels like 1 sec later five or six hours have passed! 

    Are you still sat down in front of your monitor when this happens? How long would you usually say your break intervals are? Is there a routine or not? Resting or sleeping, in-front of a monitor isn't advisable and it would be much better if you took yourself away from the screen to take a break.

    playing on my neighbor's atari

    Thank you for sharing your first gaming memory. What video games did you play and how old were you at the time? Tell us some of your favourite titles too. If presented with the opportunity, would you game on the Atari today and would you classify yourself as a retro gamer?

    That game has not been announced. As far we know, it doesn't even exist. All they're offering at launch in GTA5...again.

    Although, there are speculations and rumours about the release of GTA Six. I would be very disappointed if this was the last version of Grand Theft Auto.  It's such a good game to play and IV will slowly die over time if Rockstar don't do something about it. 

  6. Hello there,

    All completed auctions that have been completed, still remain in the Bid for Rewards Section. I can see that there is an Archive sub-section and I'm concerned why this happens to be emtpy. Please can you take a look into this for me. Find the attached images below too. 

    Kind regards

  7. GTA 4, which is also known as GTA IV has to be my favourite. This title brings back so many good memories of my childhood. It's a shame that Microsoft stopped  releasing video games for the Xbox 360 which forced me and other gamers to, upgrade their platform. 

    Do any gamers here think that this console version will be worth money in a few decades to come?

    The sad thing is that it only has about 75k miles on it.

    75,000 miles is considered an average. Nothing on this planet will last forever and will need to be replaced as the years move on. Do you have any pictures of the vehicle? I'll try and advise you moving forward.

    I can vouch for CeX. The concept is dubious but their second hand products are in great condition. I bought a second hand Nintendo DS for my younger brother a while ago and it was in excellent condition.

    I completely agree. You could probably get more money from selling your old gaming equipment on eBay or Gumtree however if you choose CeX, your paying for the convenience and a guaranteed trade. It's a shame they closed during the Lockdown. 

  10. Achievements mean nothing to me, personally. Let's say I was a game developer, I can see why an Achievement or Medal system is crucial.  There are some gamers that will showcase off their medals to fellow players, which is why this could potentially increase your game's publicity and could ultimately lead to an increase in profits. 

  11. Before using Google Chrome, my last program that I used was Microsoft Teams. I took part in my Maths Class over the Internet, in which I'm studying for Level 2 Functional Skills. I'm still waiting to see when I can take my exam due to COVID-19.

    Does Microsoft Edge count?

    Yes, Microsoft Edge is a type of internet browser. It's a program that come pre-installed on any Windows device. 

  12. Just to like add, I think that there shouldn't be a competition on how fast one can complete a title. You should take as long as you need and that way you'll have more time to enjoy the video game. We spend a lot our hard, earned money on games so we should be taking our time to get as much value as we can.

    For laptop one should stick with the device based laptop. I think even the wireless are not much needed because they are easy to damage as well. 

    Correct. There is no need for a second keyboard for a gaming, one is enough. If you game with your Laptop on your lap, then it's nearly impossible to use a secondary one anyway as there isn't enough room.

    Considering we are going to be in strong recession next year. I dont' see myself getting hands on this screen. 

    What are your thoughts on 8K though? Do you feel that the prices will drop soon baring in mind this tech has been out for some time already? Human Eye-Sight must have a capacity that we cannot exceed, no matter how advance our technology is. 

  15. I not only buy but I sell using WeBuy, which is also known as CeX. Their prices are reasonable and fair for exchanging goods and services. Most of their consoles are second hand but nonetheless, they're in great condition. 

  16. My first gaming console was handheld and this was the Nintendo 2DS. I loved playing Mario Kart.  I remember having to insert an SD card to play a title. It's scary how fast technology is moving.

    I finished the GTA V story in less than a week, if you consider it fast. Currently in the process of completing the story mode again, but this time on PC.

    That's quick. Roughly, how many hours do you think you've spent completing it? Is the story mode different to the console version on PC? If not, are you not starting to become bored of GTA V walkthrough?

    Some keyboards actually have the keys that you would use in gaming colored differently.

    Are you referring to LED Lights? One time,  I owned a Lenovo Gaming Laptop where the keys would light up red when a power source was connected. Different colours definitely help us play when it's dark or late in the evening.

    Old video games are great comfort food.  They remind of basketball players or race car drivers I cheered for way back when.

    I couldn't agree more. What are some of your favourite old video games that you remember playing and which titles do you occasionally still play to this day? Do you own any retro gaming equipment?
