Seinheisser seems to be a good bran from what I have seen. Most of the gamers I know make use of them. And it seems like noise cancellation headphones and also the Wireless ones seems to be good too. 

I found a good pair of Seinheisser on Amazon.  Thank you for the recommendation,  though. I really appreciate your effort and time helping me decide.

I'm planning on doing a little bit more research and then I will make a purchase decision. Ensuring that other people are satisfied with the electrical product and finding the best deal is vital. 

Yet again, I'd like to say a massive thank you. 

[Disposable or Rechargeable]

On 3/29/2019 at 11:47 AM, Bravosi said:

I hate both options, actually. But I guess rechargable batteries is better.

Fully agree with you there. It's better for the environment too but rechargeable batteries can come with a higher cost but may be worth it in the long run. 

Which is your preference?

Also if you're on the dark web a lot, as I am, you need a proper DW browser. You need to get TOR so you can access those onion sites, and keep your information secret. But first you need to know what the hell you're doing.

Thanks for the additional advice. I will bare this in mind if I ever dedice to visit the dark side of the Internet. I can't work out why I would want to, though. 

Better safe than sorry. Thank you for sharing.

[Cleaning]

If you fail to keep your gaming gadgets clean, it's definitely going to impact negatively on the console or PC which might cause damage or malfunctioning of the electronics. Dust makes most electronics to overheat. 

Correct. How do you clean your platform? Duster, Hoover, Screen Wipes? Got any tips to share? Thank you. 

[Longest it's taken?]

What's the longest it's taken to successfully download a video game? How big was the file? What was your WiFi speed? 

[VGR Member of the Month - March 2019]

Three days to go before the Poll finishes. What happens if its a draw? @DC

 

Thank you and good luck to all of the participants. 

[Worst game advertisement?]

What is totally the most exceedingly awful computer game advert that you have ever found in your life? How was it - what game was being promoted and did you download the video game just to know whether it's that terrible as displayed in the advertisement?

Tell me bellow! 

[Call of Duty: Mobile Version In Works]

Does anyone know whether the application will be free or will I have to spend money to download the game? I'll definitely have give it a try if CoD Mobile is free. I'm unsure whether my mobile phone would handle such a game as I can't find any minimal specification guidelines in the App Description guidelines. 

[Is the XBOX One X worth an upgrade?]

Sorry no one has replied to your discussion. We aren't ignoring you. There are some more benefits that just the 4K gaming display. Read an article called "Xbox One X vs Xbox One S: should you upgrade your Xbox One?"

Hopefully that will help make your mind up whether you should keep your current console. 

[Customized consoles]

On 3/24/2019 at 4:27 AM, skyfire said:

I think custom joysticks and the stickers can be really good. But often the custom printing cost some money. I usually prefer to avoid doing in such case and may go for merchandise bundle or so. 

Probably the safest option. To be honest, why would someone pay tons of extra money just for the costmetics? A original controller works just the same.

On which platform did you play? Did you decide to play morally or as a dishonourable character in the game? Why?

[Cooling your Xbox Platform]

On 3/26/2019 at 7:30 PM, kingpotato said:

I have this issue with my old Xbox, I tried many things (avoiding spending some money) but most of them dont work. During the winter it rarely overheats but it does very fast during the summer. I found the best solution is to just play for about an hour and turn it off for another 2 hours before playing again.

Thanks for the advice. Seems obvious, though I never thought of that! I'll have to attempt this as it's the start of summer here in England!

What else has worked with you? 

[Television]

On 3/28/2019 at 3:29 AM, The Blackangel said:

Mine is a Samsung as well. It's 75" and 4k as well smart TV. But a lot of times I switch my systems to my 3D TV and watch TV on the big one while I'm playing. The big one is the one that's set up with the satellite.

Are you sure your Samsung TV is 75 inches - that's 190 centimetres! What do you favour most: 4K or 3D for gaming? Why? 

[What games were you obsessed with as a kid?]

I was crazy about Minecraft when I was a child. Don't even ask me how much of my time was devoted. I've lost count of how many hours I have played on Minecraft. 

This particular computer game has some fantastic gaming memories and was fun short term but personally ir soon became boring to play after a couple of months. 

[Disk cannot be read]

On 3/28/2019 at 7:43 PM, kingpotato said:

Its your Xbox, the laser its not working properly anymore, you can confirm by inserting the same disk into another Xbox and you will notice that the disk works fine.  But if you do see the error message on a different Xbox then that means its the disk but I doubt it since you didnt mentioned a specific disk.

It's happening with all Disks on my console, unfortunately I don't have a spair to try this on. 

How would I go about fixing the Laser and having this technical issue  diagnosed? What retailer would you suggest for repairs? 

[Would you buy an all digital console?]

On 3/31/2019 at 9:25 AM, DylanC said:

Out of curiosity, wound you purchase an all digital console?

No. What happens if my Internet crashed for more than 12 hours or let's say I have a slow connection due to my Broadband package? A digital console wouldn't work out so well as there would be no ability to play offline.

My personal preference is Physical Copies of computer games anyway, so I'd rather have a normal console as then I can have the best of both. 

[Milestone Thread]

Sorry about double posting. Although, I can't stop celebrating. I have just achieved 3,000 points so I believe I'm now the richest user of VGR forums!

[Temple Run]

On 3/25/2019 at 5:46 AM, skyfire said:

I enjoyed both revisions of the Temple Run. Then moved to the subway surfers. And now mostly playing similar clones but they tend to have lot of things like not just running but also doing items in between and other stuff. I like that too because just running long and long turn out to be boring. 

Which would have to be your favourite version? One or Two? Why? 

If you enjoy running video games, you may like playing Run 2 on a website known as Cool Maths. It's a browser flash amusement. 

[Opening a Gaming Store]

On 3/30/2019 at 8:12 PM, mont86 said:

I would lack ambition now for such an undertaking.

I understand. Would opening a gaming store be something you'd be interested in doing though? 

Opening a business seems scary and daunting at first. However, if you break down each challenging factor you face in launching a new company, the undertaking issue will suddenly appear not be as big if you choose focus on one problem at a time.

PUBG Mobile

Enjoy the match? Did you win Battle Royale or alternatively, did you come in The Top 10? I've heard of PUBG but never got round to playing it.

Would you recommend the game to me?
