  1. He's meaning small places that have one, or at most two locations that focus on game sales.

    If there were any around here, I would definitely be going there at least to browse and see what they have. As it sits right now, I have to go to eBay to find the games I want. Nowhere around here sells NES, SNES, and N64 games anymore.

  2. If we're talking current games, then I give it to a possibility of three games that I just can't decide between. RDR2, Tell Me Why, and Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.

    Tell Me Why and Hellblade are games I heavily relate to in many ways, as I face many of the challenges and issues the characters do every day myself. For example, Senua is schizophrenic and I am as well. We both have to try to ignore the voices, and it's never easy.

    With RDR2, it's the first time I have ever felt like I have a family. The gang are so loyal to each other through the first 4 chapters, but start falling apart after that. But in the beginning they are tighter than a hangman's noose. I never had a family, with the exception of my Gramma. She didn't know the meaning of the word "hate". She was nothing but love. She would give you the shirt off her back in the dead of winter if you needed it.

    And I'm rambling and getting off topic. AGAIN.

    So those are my pics for the best games.

  3. If I was to list all the games that I would want to take with me, we would be here all day. So instead, I would rather take the system itself. That being said, I would take an NES with me. But if I absolutely have to pick a game it would definitely be Legacy Of The Wizard. Not because it's a favorite, but because I have been playing it for more than 30 years, and STILL haven't been able to beat the bastard. Those crowns are impossible to find. I have found only one crown so far and I have to find FOUR OF THE GOD DAMN THINGS!

    This game has been making me nuts for more than three decades. It has earned the right to make me clinically insane for the rest of eternity.
    wait a minute.......... "make me"?
    Too late.

  4. I've never played it. The very few times I was even reminded that the game existed, I just wasn't interested enough to give it a try. It looked boring and repetitive. So I stayed with the games that I already had that I actually enjoyed. Sure a lot of them are repetitive as hell, but I still enjoy them.

  5. The closest I've done is in a group on Killer Instinct as it has a tournament mode. There were small prizes, like $5 or something for the top 3. I can't remember where I placed, but I do remember that I won something. But that was a one off thing. And the only reason I was there was because I lived next door to the ones holding the tournament. I was initially going to just be a spectator but they talked me into fighting. They assumed that I sucked, but when I play as B. Orchid, I can easily kick some ass. But that was on SNES.

  6. Cheating should be a lifetime ban if you ask me.The US bobsled team lost their medals in the 1972 Olympics when it was discovered that the team captain had hid weights in the front of the sled to make it go faster. Lance Armstrong was stripped of his titles and banned from competitive cycling when it was found out that he was doping. Why should cheating in eSports be any different?

    That's a fair assessment. I feel as if most esports players focus much of their life on the games they are good at. If anyone wants to be a pro gamer and join esports, they need to probably also practice daily. I don't think I could practice daily, especially the same game over and over. 

    They would have t focus most of their lives on their chosen game. For example, they wouldn't be able to go from competing in a Call Of Duty tournament to playing My Little Pony on Game Boy. They have to stick with CoD. Sure they can play other games to try to avoid a burn out. But their profession would keep them there every day. And I definitely agree that I couldn't do it every day. As I've said hundreds of times, RDR2 is one of my favorite games, but I can't hit it every day. I have to start jonesing and need a fix before I boot the game up again. It's like back when I was an addict. I needed a fix multiple times daily.

    An off topic request:
    People, please don't do drugs. Marijuana is fine for medicinal purposes, but leave it there.

    And to think, these major big box stores could easily afford to lose some of their stock like this. What I think would be cool, is if stores like Wal-mart, took some of their stock and just gave it away during the holidays. I think that'd be a cool gesture by these massive stores. Also, maybe gift your employees with fun gifts, especially if they worked a long time there already. 

    True, but corporate greed would never allow such a thing. Especially with Walmart.

  9. To be a proficient eSports player, the best analogy I can think of is that you would have to have multiple Ph.D's in the game you're wanting to compete in. That's not something that can be easily accomplished. You would have to know every single tiny little thing about the game in question, and master every single one of those tiny little things. Nothing could be overlooked or taken for granted. Gaming in eSports competitions is the top level any gamer could achieve. I personally don't have the drive or dedication to reach that level. Not to mention that the games are largely multiplayer, typically through a LAN. But it's still online gaming, which is something I flat out do not enjoy.

    It's pretty cool especially as the price difference isn't too huge so it's not going to cost you an arm and a leg to get one (for a basic one anyway). I really do wish Sony did something similar with the PlayStation 5 DualSense. 

    That would be awesome if Sony was to get in on this. I would want to see it for the PS4 as well, since that’s what the majority of Playstation gamers are still playing. The most comfortable controller in existence completely customized? They would be raking it in.
