  1. Grand Theft Auto Five. Every year, Rockstar will release a Xmas Update for the game. Every Christmas since the start of my teenage years, I've been playing this game every festive season. It's been a tradition for many years playing Grand Theft Auto every christmas.  Snowballs, are a temporary weapon featured in GTA 5 Online as part of the Festive Surprise update added by Rockstar. I enjoy Christmas and Video games, so it's a win win for me!

     

     

  2. Not sure if it this counts but at one stage I owned an Xbox 360. One of the greatest consoles of all time. I'm regret selling the 360 as one day, I know that this version of the Xbox will be worth a lot of money due to how retro/old it will be. Noneoftheless, I had some of the greatest, significant gaming memories since my adventure as a Gamer began using the Xbox. If I recall, that was my first ever console as a young child.

    Yes, you should be fine. If you happen to run into any problems installing Black Ops 4 on your PC, be sure to ask and I'll be happy to help. Include screenshots of any errors you run into in-game or as part of the installation progress. Incase you are not sure where to buy a digital copy of the video, use a trusted known website known as Steam. Happy Gaming!

     

     

  4. For me, it was the start of 2018 when I was still playing Minecraft. I was playing PVP(Person VS Player) and someone was using aimbot and kill aura.  I earned in-game credits to purchase a set of diamond armour ( a lot of kills and hard work) and then he proceeded to kill me. Luckily, I was recording with Bandicam and I uploaded the video to YouTube (Unlisted) and shared it with the server admins and he now has a lifetime ban for hacking.

  5. I use Lindy BNX-60 Noise-Cancelling Full-Size Bluetooth Headset. Generally speaking, they cost around 100 dollars. One of my family releatives purchased this piece of gaming equipment for my birthday and I love using them. My rating is 5/5 and you can't find a better set of headphones on the market, from experience. They are the best pair so far, I've received or purchased. 

     

    Pros:

    1. Excellent noise reduction 
    2. Light and Comfortable
    3. Long-Lasting Battery Life
    4. Good value for money
    5. Good, protective  case for travelling


     

  6. @DC - A forum shop. I did make the suggestion here but no one has contributed to the topic. If you decided to add a forum shop to VGR Forums, what would you like to implement and why? This question go out to the members too.

    Personally, I'd like to see points for PayPal and Gift Cards or non-profit reward ideas are as follows:

    • Username changes
    • Bold Usernames
    • Coloured usernames
    • Forum Posting/Free Lance Services

     

  7. @DC - A gallon, 4 litres, really? That's really healthy for your body, keep it up. Remember not to be ill from water intoxication on the otherside, drink in moderation! I follow what the NHS and The British Heart Foundation say. Health organizations suggest you drink 2 litres a day to stay hydrated. I have been doing this for the past few years now and I find myself buying a 2 litre bottle of Spring Water and letting it cool in the fridge before experiencing the,cool, refreshing taste of ice cold water. 

  8. Why were you arrested, was it a serious crime? Were you charged and what was the outcome if you don't mind me asking? I can honestly say I've never been arrested and I hope to keep my record clean. I don't want to lose my job or my future career working with people. 

  9. I took the "Taste the Pepsi Max Challenge" at my local shopping centre in Dorset. They gave two coke's and we had to guess which one was Pepsi Max and I was right and won a free drink (bottle). You can defintely tell the difference between Coke and Pepsi, Pepsi Max is a lot of sweeter that Coke as it contains aspartame (a sugar alternative). It tastes sweeter with no calories and no added weight loss, comparing this with a can coke containing 39g and your daily suggested intake should be 25g.

    On the otherhand, Pepsi Max contains aspartame and other artifical flavourings which online research showing that it can cause Cancer, depression, and various other illnesses to your body. My opinion is anything in moderation is fine and it's pepsi max all the way for me. 

  10. Thinking back to all the video games I have played, I can honestly say that I have never raged-quit.  Once, when I kept being killed by my oppent in two games of Fortnite Battle Royal, I either tend to keep playing to advance my skills or watch YouTube tutorials on how to improve. Raging quit won't help young people, it won't make you any better at the video game. Figure out what's making you angry and how you can avoid the same mistake again when playing

  11. I too, have friends which are avid gamblers on eSports. Personally speaking, I have never done it myself as Gambling is a bad habit to get into. Gambling can lead to potential to loose money, it's expensive, addicative, and various other problems. This isn't to say Gambling is bad. Excessive forms are bad and you can be drawn in really easily so therefore it's best to set yourself a budget and stay with it. Choose how often your going to Gamble and How much your set budget is. Please note, this is not financial advice, this is just my opinion from personal experience. 

  12. One of the oldest fames that I am still playing as of today is Tetris. I play Retro Games on a day to day basis and enjoy playing classic games on my PC. Tetris was released on 1984 and it was one of the most popular video games in the 80's. Shaped blocks will fall from the top of your smart screen and and the aim of Tetris is to fit all of the  coloured blocks together.

  13. Various video games allow you play Online with Gold, including GTA 5 which you missed out. A yearly subscription costs around £40 and this gives you ability to play online with friends, early access to game demo, Amazon Instant Video, Internet Explorer, and various other pre-installed application you get access too by purchasing Xbox Gold Membership. It's defintely worth it and I highly recommend investing in it for your gaming experience.

  14. Yes, defintely, it does make a difference whether you have a 4k display! All of the specifications are improved compared to the Xbox and S. If your going to spend 500 dollars on a console, why not buy a 4K TV? A normal TV won't be compatible. You can buy one nowadays cheap price. 4K is also known "UHD" which means ultra-high definition. Here are the specs for research purposes in the image below.

    I never bought a xbox personally but I did play on the 360 alot with my roommates. It wasn't too bad. I had a good time. 

    How many video games did you have and what were they? Did you have an Xbox Live Gold membership and ae you still using your 360 or have you upgraded it?  Tell me about one your best gaming experiences on the 360.

  16. On PC, in Google Chrome. The video game was known as Slither.io, the concept is simple. The objective of the game is to grow the longest worm/snake in your match. You do this by collecting star dust/dots. It's a great game and it's free!

  17. Yes, I did. It was an 2D flash game and I useed Scratch to make it back in the days of education. I did the graphics, the sound and the progamming all independently. The concept was a car racing where you had to drive round the track and it measured how fast you were and your best time. 

  18. I've played before. Usually, I play for 30-1 hour (2 matches) and take a break as to much screen time can cause Eye Strain, Early  death, Tiredness and much more. I know players who have played for 6+hours a day and this isn't good for you or your health. Fortnite can become boring as it's similar to Minecraft, it's very repetitive and dull at times. I haven't won any games on Fortnite, the most players I've ever killed was 3 in one match. 

  19. One day, when I was 12-14 years old one of my family releatives bought home from work an Xbox 360 with all the trending video games for me. The games included: Forze, GTA 5, Call of Duty (First version), and various other games. Since then, I've been hooked and I've had fun playing computer games ever since. 

  20. 2018 has been a good year for gaming with the release of Red Dead Redemption 2, Fallout 76, and Black Ops 4. What video games are you looking forward to being released in the next upcoming years? What do you hope will be different and why? I'm looking forward to GTA 6. GTA V is a good video game to play on console however at times it is boring, repetitive and dull due to the broken encomy(cheaters).  It's been five years since the release so by 2020 I'd love to see a new version come out.

  21. I'm neutral on FB Gaming as I have never used it before. My initial opinion,  I don't think Facebook is right for gaming. Facebook is more used as a social media platform and connecting people all in one place from all over the world. If you want to stream, choose a streaming website as your more likely to gain more views as the platform is more popular: youtube or twitch.tv. 

  22. Yes, I believe gaming is a mental health disorder, why? Here are three main reasons. This isn't to say Gaming is bad for you, but it's like anything, in moderation and you'll be okay. Get support and help here if you suffer.

    • Prioritize gaming over interests and hobby's which are considered to be good for the mind
    • Prioritizing video games over your mental and physical health(Lack of sleep and shortage of exercise)
    • Developing a negative social relationship with family, work, social, personal, education.

     

  23. I know the below from Gaming and from online research. Everything will have there advantages and disadvantages but it's trying to turn a negative into a positive. I believe there is a positive side to playing video games, here are three reasons why:

    • Enchanced eye and hand coordination
    • Better problem solving skills
    • Faster decision making
