While she's not a mod, @StaceyPowers works for VGR and has won MOTM several times. So I'm sure you're in the running all the same. As for my nomination, I nominate @Reality vs Adventure.

So I'm a freak because I use a TV for my monitor? That's not entirely true. The TV I use is immensely faster than any of the gaming monitors available here, has more features, and was a fraction of the price. It was just under $200, whereas gaming monitors are all $800+ by themselves alone. The choice is clear. Also TV's are designed just as much to have lightning fast refresh rate to keep up with television shows, especially live TV, such as sports. I've used a gaming monitor in the very recent past (2 weeks ago), and it couldn't compare to my TV. And that was on the gaming laptop I just bought.

I hope not. I want to see studios remain independent from console developers. That way they're not confined to what one specific console wants the game to be. They can make it to their desires, and if said console doesn't like it, then it's their loss. They're not under the thumb of a bigger major league corporation that can scrutinize every tiny thing they do and make them put out something that they won't stand behind because mommy and daddy said so. Independence is more important, and vastly more respectable, than a billion dollar buyout.

They are extremely uncomfortable, narrowness aside. They want to lean back almost to the point where you're laying down. If the TV was hanging from the ceiling, then I would see no problem on that part. They're more of a novelty than anything in my eyes. Just a fad that came and went quick.

I bought a new trailer today. I needed a good one to haul my 4 wheeler on. And I got the perfect one. It’s 5x8 and only cost $650. I got a steal on a steel trailer.

@AndreiMirfi looks good. You chill with that beast, and I’ll chill with this Goddess.

The fault falls entirely on Microsoft. Say someone is getting this for their grandchildren. Perhaps they don’t know a Nintendo from a PlayStation from an Xbox. How are they to know if what they’re buying is the right one? In all the hustle and bustle that is xmas shopping, all they may know is “new Xbox” and nothing else. Are they really going to notice the difference in name during all that insanity? I highly doubt it. You don’t have to be all fancy with the name if you have a quality product to push. The fact that they named it so close to the Xbox One X tells me that they aren’t very confident about the new system. Add in the recent acquisition if Bethesda, and I really think Microsoft is scared.

Episode 3:

The screen has a revolutionary new feature that's called "Adjust Brightness". Don't even get started with that "shit to do" and "work 8 hour jobs" bullshit. Some of us are disabled and CAN'T FUCKING WORK. When you reach a point that you have to wear sunglasses indoors due to it being so bright that it physically burns your eyes and you have to keep them closed for the next 2 days to heal, then you can talk to me about brightness.

I hope not. My hope is that independent studios stay independent.

is it possible that the plug just came loose on one end or the other? A lot of time those damn HDMI cables can be so finicky that they give you errors on the slightest thing.

It's just a rehashing of Action 52. I highly recommend not getting duped by those cartridges. If you're going with something of that nature, find a good hacker and have the games installed on a hard drive in the machine. You can have hundreds of games that way.

The less light there is, the better. I have light blocking curtains in every room, and rarely turn the lights on. The best thing about winter is that the days only have 7-8 hours of sunlight, and the rest of the 24 hour period is darkness. Sunlight is excruciatingly physically painful. If it's dark enough that you can't see your hand in front of your face, it's still too bright.

I had a couple. They're literally so narrow they sit in between the bones of your ass. The only explanation I can come up with for them being so damn narrow, is that they have to be designed for children under 10, and not adults. If they were designed for adults, they would be at least 1' wider.

It's like having little balls of pure love. When they get old, they can get unfriendly to mean, but prior to that they are some of the sweetest creatures on earth. They feel emotions as strongly as any humanoid. And when your life is saved by a rat, they become the most important creature in your life.

When I was a kid I could. I could slow dance, line dance, and shake my ass with the best of them.

I'm in the same boat as @Shagger on this one. It's a beautifully designed game, but I just couldn't get into it. I tried several times, but it just couldn't get its hooks into me. So it sits in my Switch case just "collecting dust" so to speak. I would consider selling it, but when I do that I always regret it. So I'm just going to hang on to it. I may try again to play it later.

This is going to alienate a lot of gamers. With Bethesda now being owned by Microsoft, they could be forced into making all their games Xbox exclusive. Which could easily tank sales, and possibly bankrupt them. There are people that are die hard loyalists to one system, and no matter how much they love any given franchise, will refuse to consider playing it on another. I've personally met a lot of PlayStation loyalists. Me myself, I have always hated Xbox, but was forced to get an Xbox One because there is a game I wanted desperately that was an Xbox exclusive. Now with Bethesda being the property of Microsoft, they're going to lose a lot of customers. That 7½ billion might feel pretty sweet right now, but it's only going to fuck things up. Some are going to say that they may offer Sony and Nintendo the option to license games from their company, but how would that really help them? Selling to the competition only to have the competition sell that to make their money back? Just cut out the middle man and give the damn game away. I see nothing but disaster in this.

Downpouring rain. The heavier the better. I go out to my garage and watch the rain. Sometimes I take my Switch or Game Boy. Others I just watch the rain. Nothing is more soothing to me.

If I was to go for one, it would be the PS5. But it will be a few years before I give it any serious thought.

It was just a reference due to Pepsi having released a game. I don’t even want to think of them releasing a console. That is a truly horrifying concept.
