I’ve read a lot of mixed reviews, with some saying it delivers great sound and others pointing out that it’s a bit uncomfortable for long sessions. How’s the 3D audio feature in games, and does the mic quality hold up for multiplayer? Also, is it worth the price compared to other headsets?

I used to have that portable screen accessory for the PS1 - good times. Sometimes, I'd take it to school and after school, while we were waiting for our parents, I'd set it up and we'd play some games.

I can see how this could really elevate the satisfaction of finishing off tough enemies. It seems like it’s all about making those kill moments more impactful. Do you think it works better than something like Doom’s glory kills?

Huxley would be a great companion! I also think Ellie from The Outer Worlds would have been awesome as a permanent party member. Her sarcasm and straight-shooting attitude really add some fun dynamic to the crew.

Agreed but can't say the same about the PS5 vs the PS5 PRO.

I tend to remember side quests better if there’s a unique or interesting narrative to them, but otherwise they just kind of blend into the background. Some games do a great job of tying them back to the main story, which helps me stay invested.

I remember playing this in the early 2000s as a teen - why do I feel so old, lol.

I'm quite digging the art style and the unique navigation of the maps. I'm curious why they call it 30 birds though as we've only seen one bird so far.

I'm not going to lie, I saw the render of the controller yesterday and it looks kind of weird in my opinion. I like the VR headset though.

I agree. Silent films definitely still hold up today, but they require a different kind of attention and appreciation. Movies like Metropolis and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari have a timeless quality because of their innovative visuals and artistic vision. While the storytelling and acting may seem a bit exaggerated or slow to modern audiences, the atmosphere, expressionism, and sheer creativity can still leave a lasting impact. It's a bit like appreciating classical music or fine art. It's about understanding the context and the pioneering work they represented in their time.

Personally, I wish Firefly had more seasons. It had such a unique blend of humor, heart, and sci-fi adventure. The characters were so well-developed, and the world felt so rich, but we only got one season! The movie Serenity was a decent wrap-up, but I always thought there was more story to explore, especially with the Reavers and the larger galactic conflict.

Dark Matter is highly underrated in my opinion. I loved its premise and the acting was really good. Too bad it only lasted three seasons.

Metro (1997) - 8.5/10

When Naruto arrived in Konoha after Pain levelled it, it was a coming of age moment for Naruto

Felt for the classic GBA Pokemon experience so I went and fired up Fire Red to channel my inner Ash Ketchum.

I know what you mean. When my bro used to live in Albany and it was like -30 degrees, even the hot water felt ice cold.

I love games that give me a sense of progression without it feeling grindy. Whether it’s through a skill tree, crafting system, or unlocking new abilities, there’s something satisfying about seeing tangible improvements. Some games make it feel like every decision matters, while others let you experiment and play around with different builds. What’s your favorite method for leveling up or upgrading your character, and why? Do you prefer a more traditional approach or something that feels more unique and interactive?

Do you enjoy the straightforward, guided experience of linear storylines, where the narrative is more controlled and focused? Or do you prefer branching storylines that offer different choices and paths, allowing for more replayability and a sense of personal impact on the story? I love both in different contexts, but I’d like to hear what others think. What makes one better than the other for you?

For those who don't know, it was a kid-friendly console with interactive storybooks and educational games. Did it live up to its reputation, or was it just a quirky piece of Sega history How well did the touchpad and pen work? Any favorite games or memories?
