What kind of GBA Pokemon-inspired musical note combat game is this? I'm not sure if this would appeal to me. I'd have to see more of it at launch to see if I warm up to it then.

I'm liking this game's anime look and the gameplay mechanics seem a bit quirky which I always like but I want to learn more about the setting of this game.

That's the trouble with games like this - they look promising but you never quite know what you're going to get at launch especially story-wise.

It'd do better on a console like the Switch. I can see this game appealing more to kids.

I’m not a fan of Fortnite’s Jonesy. He just feels too bland and overexposed. I get why he’s popular, but I just don’t see the appeal.

It depends on how invested I am in the game. If I’m really into it, I’ll often take the harder route for the extra challenge and sense of accomplishment. But if I’m playing casually or just want to enjoy the story, I might lean toward the easier options.

Artists like Trent Reznor (of Nine Inch Nails) come to mind - his work on Quake is legendary. And let’s not forget when Green Day and The Beatles got entire games with Rock Band. I’ve also noticed Skrillex and Imagine Dragons pop up a lot in games, especially big-budget ones. Their energetic music seems to fit action-packed or emotional moments perfectly.

I think $70 can be reasonable for certain games, but it really depends on the quality, content, and effort put into the game. If it's a massive, polished game with no microtransactions, $70 feels justified. But for games with less content or monetization schemes like pay-to-win or heavy DLC, it feels like a cash grab. A tiered pricing system based on the scope of the game might work better.

You should check out MetalJesusRocks if you haven’t already. He covers a lot of gaming history, especially retro consoles, hidden gems, and rare gaming finds. His videos are very nostalgic and great for anyone who loves gaming from the '80s, '90s, and early 2000s.

Yes, Telltale Games was revived by LCG Entertainment, and they’ve announced new projects, including The Wolf Among Us 2. It's exciting to see them return to narrative-driven games. Beyond that, they’ve hinted at exploring more stories, so there’s definitely potential for more games in the future.

Friday and Saturday nights sound perfect for game nights since most people are free then. However, you could also consider polling your community to see if there’s interest in a midweek session, like a casual Wednesday game night. It might attract those who can’t make it on weekends.

The new GTA will have two main characters - a man and a woman so I don't see the problem.

I think stress in games can come from different sources like tough mechanics, story intensity, or, like you said, technical issues. For me, The Last of Us Part II had moments that were emotionally draining and made me anxious, but it was part of what made the experience so impactful. Glitches, though, like in Layers of Fear, feel more unfair since they’re outside your control.

I think you’re spot on about voice chat lobbies. It’s like they bring out the worst in some people. But I don’t think toxicity defines most gamers. It’s more that the loud minority gets the most attention, while the majority are just quietly enjoying their games. I also feel like certain games or platforms might foster more toxic behavior, depending on the culture or expectations within the community

I Spy - 8.5/10

Seeing Meninas and Candice return as Zombies was a surprise because in the manga, they never stated what happened to these two.

Played Marvel Rivals today and used Spiderman and got MVP in two of my matches. It's funny because before playing this game, they had said that Spiderman was a "difficult" character to use but that's because you actually have to be tactical when using his abilities and how you maneuver with him in-game.

Has anyone here actually milked a cow? How was the experience for you? Was it harder or easier than you expected? Any funny or surprising moments?

I've been thinking about how people balance their social energy. Some of us feel drained after a few hours of socializing (introverts), while others get energized by being around others (extroverts). What about you? Do you prefer small, quiet settings or big social gatherings? How do you manage your social energy, especially in situations that push you out of your comfort zone?
