[Too many remasters and too little new IPs]

I have been a gamer for many years. Although, I'm not sure what this means "too little new ips". What is the specific definition of ips? My question sounds stupid and this is something I should know by now. Thank you. 

[Games based off movies]

I would love Rockstar to create a movie that is based of the famous but yet classic game, "Grand Theft Auto Five".  I'm imagining fun scenes of where "the average joe" tries to live a normal day, without being the victim of any crimes. The action packed film would be fun to watch, especially in 3D! 

[PC or mobile for Among us?]

I have Among Us on smart phone. The interface on the mobile app is cleaner & easier to navigate. The game itself, costs $4.99 on PC through the steam marketplace so it makes sense to go with the free version. 

[Do you mute game lobbies these days?]

It's a distraction, so the answer is yes, I do mute game lobbies when playing online. It's easier to focus on the objective and task at hand. There are many kids who use foul language and are constantly raging over the microphone too.

[What weather adds the most to a video game?]

What weather adds the most to a video game? And why is that? It's snow for me. Since a young age, I couldn't wait for it to start snowing at Christmas Time, in the real world. Unfortunately, due to climate change, each Winter, there is less and less falling from the sky. 

It reminds me of these memories. 

[Share your stories of self-isolation]

The last few months have been scary for all of us. Some gamers here may of needed to self isolate due to a positive result or travelling.  During this period, did you find yourself playing more computer games and was your mental health affected? 

[Textures not loading in Fortnite]

Textures aren't loading in Fornite and every time I try and enter a building, I can't and my character becomes stuck. All of my settings are on the lowest and my specifications meet the minimum requirement for the game. If anyone can help, this would be much appreciated.

[Rockstar should really remaster most of their games]

I'm still waiting for Grand Theft Auto Six or atleast a remastered version of GTA 5. It's been 7 years, how much longer before Rockstar release something new? Without a shadow of doubt, the recent pandemic has put them behind in game development. 

[I'm thinking about streaming, what should I play?]

Minecraft and Fornite are two trending games on the Twitch.TV homepage. I would recommend speaking in your gameplays, and regularly interacting with your followers in the chat. Turning on Stream Alerts is a fantastic incentive for viewers to follow, subscribe, donate, or share the channel. 

Hope this helps. 

[What Next Gen Console(s) are you getting?]

It's a touch decision as all of the consoles you listed would be an excellent choice for a platform to play. Choosing only one though, it would have to be the Xbox Series X. I have grown up with Microsoft and I'm definitely a fanboy of their gadgets for gaming purposes. 

[Does anyone still play arcade games in an actual arcade?]

Before lockdown restrictions were announced, yes. Every time I went for a meal with family or friends, we went for a stroll on the beach front before visiting an Arcade. When everything gets back to some level of normality, this is something which I'm going to be doing again.

Nothing beats a classic game. 

[What company could you see making a console?]

Jeff Bezos, the owner of Amazon could be looking at developing & designing a gaming console. It's going to be a challenge as there are too many competitors in the industry as it is. They would have to offer something unique that the PS4 or Xbox doesn't have.

Any amazon or paypal auctions coming soon? 

[How do you clean your keys?]

Computer gamers! How do you clean your keyboard? I wouldn't call myself tech-savvy by any means, so I will always have my keys professionally cleaned by an IT specialist or a company like John Lewis or Currys PC World. 

[Talking to strangers]

Are you okay with talking to fellow gamers you don't know in real life? If so, which method of connection do you feel most comfortable with? Typing? VoIP? Which is your primary choice of communication? For example, Is it Discord, Skype, or Teamspeak?

[Laptop charger replacements]

My charger for my Gaming Laptop recently broke and has become loose, which causes the power supply not to reach my Laptop. I have owned my Laptop for around six months now and this is the first replacement. Is this normal? 

How many times have you had to replace it? 

[Games you hate that everbody else loves!]

Probably Candy Crush: Saga. The repetitive voice of "'Sweet', 'Tasty', 'Divine' and 'Delicious' really starts to become annoying after sometime. I'm surprised that so many people are addicted to playing this mobile game.

[Do you ever think Call of Duty will end?]

Not anytime soon. It's supply and demand. As-long as people are willing to pay money, the publishers will continue developing more enhanced and modern versions of the game. 

[Ever lose a friend because of a game?]

I'm glad to hear that you reunited with your friend after a disagreement. I have never lost a friend because of something that has happened while gaming. I hope this never happens to me as I'll always try to keep the boundary between a hobby and a friendship.

[Do you still have any retro game stores in your area?]

In the past we had but sadly not anymore. It's mostly the likes of high-end, modern electronic stores such as John Lewis and Curry's PC World. There are still retro video games that are available to purchase on Gumtree and eBay.

[What size TV do you usually game on?]

I am using a 49Inch Samsung television for all my gaming and entertainment needs. I would love to buy a bigger TV although I can't. Unfortunately, my room doesn't have the space for a gadget of this size.

[Do you keep a journal?]

I do keep a journal. It's a "worry booklet" which helps eases my Anxiety and for me, by writing them down, this is a good way of dealing with unneeded worries. It helps me to organize my thoughts, see clearer, and have a overall better day. 

[What is your least favorite chore?]

I don't like handwashing dishes, cleaning the bathroom, or emptying the bins. I don't mind chores and generally, when I'm in a cleaning mode, a lot of household jobs will be fulfilled by myself and myself only as I live alone. If I don't keep on top of it though, a backlog of tasks soon starts to pile up.
