The Hating Game (2021) - 7.5/10

[What show are you currently watching?]

Just like @Ravenfreak, I was watching the first Fallout episode a few hours ago. I think I'm going to binge watch the rest of the episodes on Wednesday. That way I can enjoy it more. Cooper Howard is a character I quite like already.

[The Fallout TV Series is Awesome!]

7 hours ago, Ravenfreak said:

I just started watching the series with my wife this afternoon, we only watched the first episode so far so I scrolled past the majority of the post. We're both enjoying it so far and will definitely continue watching it! I never played the games before, but I know a little bit of the franchise so I see things here and there that make me go "oh look, there's Nuke Cola!"

I mean, I've played the games before and I do play Fallout 4 quite often but I've just watched the first episode a few hours ago and I really loved it. I'm sure that we've had this conversation long before this series launched that the Fallout universe would make for an interesting series and we were right.

[Last Game Played]

Played some Dying light 2 with a couple of friends - was so much fun to kick them off the roof and into the hordes of zombies so that I could escape.

[Rethinking Names: Which Animals or Plants Deserve a Rename?]

We all know some animal or plant names could use a makeover. Which ones do you think deserve a new title? Whether it's because of misleading names, cultural sensitivity, or just for fun, give us your views. I'll start: A Sperm Whale - first of all, it doesn't look like semen, it's not even the same color! The name has never made sense to me - I must be blind like Stevie Wonder but I can't see why anyone would name it that.

[Dream Narrators: Whose Voice Would You Pick for Your Life Story?]

If your life had a narrator, who would you choose and why? Would Morgan Freeman's velvety voice add gravitas to your mundane moments, or maybe David Attenborough could make your daily commute sound like a wildlife expedition? Let's have some fun with this one!

[Discuss: The Most Impactful Unethical Experiment for Societal Benefit?]

I felt like I haven't asked any really controversial questions in a while so here's one. Imagine a scenario where ethics were thrown out the window for the greater good. What unethical experiment, if successful, could potentially revolutionize society for the better? Let's brainstorm and debate the potential consequences and benefits. From genetic manipulation to extreme social engineering, what's your take?

[Lets Hear About Your Beta Testing Experiences]

Have you ever participated in a game's beta testing phase? Whether it's hunting bugs, exploring new features, or simply getting a sneak peek, share your stories, highs, lows, and memorable moments below.

[Let's Talk: Fan-Created Content - Mods & Fan Games]

Hey VGR! I've always been intrigued by the creativity of fan communities when it comes to mods and fan games. What's your take on them? Do you love diving into fan-created worlds, or do you prefer sticking to official content?

[Online Gaming Communities: Love-Hate Relationship?]

Let's talk about the highs and lows of online gaming communities. What's one thing you absolutely love and can't get enough of? On the flip side, what's that one aspect that grinds your gears or leaves a bitter taste in your mouth? Whether it's the camaraderie, competitive spirit, or toxicity, let's hear it all. Remember, keep it civil and let's have a constructive discussion.

[Spotlight on Gaming Culture: Any Recent Positives?]

Have you observed any uplifting changes lately? Whether it's increased inclusivity, more supportive communities, or innovative initiatives, share your findings here. Sometimes we place too much emphasis on the negative parts of the gaming culture and don't praise the positive parts enough.

[Nostalgia Alert: What's the first game you ever fell in love with?]

What's the first game that stole your heart and got you hooked on gaming? Was it a classic like Super Mario Bros., or perhaps a hidden gem that holds a special place in your heart. Share your first gaming love and let's reminisce about those unforgettable moments

[Mount Everest or Deep Sea Diving? What's Your Pick?]

Honestly, I'd take my chances with Mount Everest. If you get into difficulties under the deep sea, you're more or less screwed. Yes, Mount Everest has its own set of challenges but you may have a slim chance of getting help or surviving long enough to get rescued. God knows what you'll even encounter down there lol.

[Would you rather be a volcano surfer or ice climber?]

People rarely survive an avalanche. The force of the snow hitting them isn't much different that a wall of concrete hitting them. If they're not immediately killed by that, they usually tend to suffocate under the snow.

To be fair, you're not going to survive a suddenly active volcano either. Between the toxic fumes and incredible heat, you'll die quickly.

[Solo vs. Team Sports: Which Gets Your Vote?]

Nothing like an alley-oop. Or a long pass caught, bam! He keeps runnin, Bam! Tried to knock him out of bounce. Oh wait!!! He back tossed, 10 seconds left, bam! He got knocked hard! But he side tossed it in time. He runs with the football for a touchdown, Bam! He fumbled in the air!!! The fattest and slowest line back caught it for a touchdown !!!!! Teamwork gets my vote. But then again, fuck teamwork. I trust nobody. MF catching a football will probably drop on purpose if he is lobbied by anasshooe. 

I agree. I love team sports - soccer, basketball, hockey - you name it. I mean, I do love the X-games with the skaters and BMX riders competing as solos but I love team sports even more.

[Do you ever import games from other countries?]

On 4/19/2024 at 12:07 PM, Ravenfreak said:

I have a few imported games myself! I bought Rockman 8 for the Sega Saturn from a Japanese seller on Ebay. It's much cheaper to get Japanese Saturn imports since the US games are so expensive. I also have a subscription to Retro Game Treasure and I get a import in every single box. I've got a few different Super Famicom games now like Super Donkey Kong 2 (Donkey Kong Country 2), Puyo-Puyo and a few Dragon Quest games too. I also have a few different GBA/GB games that are Japanese which is great since they're not region locked. (I have a action replay to play imports on my Saturn, and a cartridge converter to play Super Famicom games. I still need to mod my PS2 to play Japanese games, likewise with my Gamecube...)

It's mainly Japanese games as well for the GBA like some Zoids ones. My bro used to get them when he travelled there and bring them for me. It was a challenge navigating some of them but I enjoyed most of them nonetheless.

[Gigantic: Rampage Edition - Revival of a 6-year-old Dead Game]

Arc gaming platform sent me an email about this game this morning. It must be a sign that I probably should go and check it out. It does look like an interesting game and I've been looking for something unique to play and this might just be it. Something casual that I don't have to invest a lot of time into.

[What are you listening to right now?]

I wish I can go back and listen to every song you posted, would be bad ass. Actually, I'm gonna try it. I have to say though, if you are into rap, nothing like the golden ages of rap in 1995 MF. Something about the year, the air, everything. 1995. 

 

So true - the late 80's to the mid 2000s was the best era of hip hop/rap. It's gone steadily downhill since then. Nowadays, I'm turned off by mainstream hip-hop/rap. It's so boring, generic, talentless and mind-numbing.

[What’s your go-to game for relaxing?]

I'd say something like Rocket League. A fun, casual game you can easily get into. What's not to love about it?

[Have you ever cosplayed as your favorite game character?]

Honestly, I've always wanted to cosplay as Master Chief but I've never gotten the chance to attend a gaming convention where Cosplay is allowed. Either that or I'd dress as Gray Fox from Metal Gear.
