[Dose the VGR forums have a Discord server?]

I would like to see a discord server, it opens up alot of possibilites for members of the community interact.  I do have to dissage to some extent with @DC here, I understand your recluctance to do anything that might divert traffic away from the forum but there is things you can do with a live discord chat that you cant really do with a forum.  For example you can arrange live voice/text chat parties which is especially usefull during events like E3.  Then of course there is the possibility of gaming together.  I think it's worth a thought.

[Linux Gaming Future?]

For a gaming PC your better of with Windows, access to a larger library's and better support.

[What is your favourite game for the PS4?]

If were talking exclusives It's a close call between God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn, Gravity Rush 2 and Spiderman are up there as well.  I'd also include the likes of Witcher 3, The Last of Us and Hellblade: Senua's sacrifice but their on other platforms.

There is a Hexen II, but it’s all but impossible to find. I haven’t found it anywhere, including online in more than 20 years. I’ve tried calling classic game dealers all around the state and in bordering states. No luck. I’m 10 hours from Chicago and I struck out at every place I called there. I was willing to make the drive to buy it, or pay a hefty sum to get it shipped. I’m thinking of checking out places in LA and NY. Those are most likely my best options considering the size of the cities.

 

I don't see how, I just did a quick check on EBay (UK verson at least) and there is a bunch of people selling the physical copy from about £5 , not to mention the digital versions on Steam and GOG.  Is there a particular one your looking for?

RUMOR!!!
Kojima and Konami working together again for a Silent Hill game

According to rumors: Konami will lend the Silent hill licence and Kojima productions will finance and obviously produce the game

 

To be honest, I'd rather see the series remain dead in the water than have Konami anywhere near it, even if Kojima is envolved.  I'd only support this if Konami sold the liecense to Kojima Productions (or anyone for that matter) and where completly out of the picture. 

[What’s your most hated song?]

Anything from Coldplay, it's just depressing.

[dumbest ways you've died]

This is the most embarrassing I've ever done as a gamer.  It's going to take a bit of explaining so bear with me.

 

This incident concerns Final Fantasy X.  For the sake of anyone who has never played this game before I need to explain for context.  Each character has a unique ability called an overdrive.  For most character's it's a powerful attack but in the case of Rikku it allows the player to combine items for various effects.

 

On one particular playthrough I wanted to charge Rikku's overdrive for a high level battle.  However, the only overdrive mode she had available was the default "Stoic" mode, so the overdrive gauge only goes up when the character takes hits and it's VERY slow.  So I went to a low level area where the enemies where levelled just high enough for damage to register so I could charge Rikku's overdrive. It was taking forever so I cast slow on my own party and haste on the enemy so they would get more turns and charge Rikku's overdrive faster......  If you are familiar with this game you can probably see where this is going and currently facepalming right now!

 

Instead of getting more turns, they got ALL the turns and I had no choice but to sit there red faced for half an hour as these low level fiends very, very, very slowly annihilated my end game level party!  I have never felt such an idiot in my entire life!

[Relaxing, low pressure games with focus on exploring and/or building?]

No Man's Sky with all the improvements since it launched.  The aforementioned "My Pet Dungeon" DLC for War for the Overworld is really good as well.

[How often do you replay your favorite game?]

I as well I constantly replay my favorite Open world games, GTA V, SKyrim, Read Dead Redemption, and most recently Spider man, Witcher 3 and Horizon Zero dawn. But linear games l only tend to play them once a year if I can. 

 

I seem to be generally in the same boat with open world RPG games like Horizon Zero Dawn, Witcher 3 and Skyrim (especially with mods) on my replay list often.  I think the game I've replayed the most is Final Fantasy X, I think I've bought it like 6 times!

[Games with a 90s flavor that aren't from the 90s?]

Overload comes to mind, it's from the same people who made the classic six-degrees-of-freedom shooter Descent.  It's aweswome!

 

 

[Play as Jesus. No joke.]

If I'm going to be the son of god I wanna go around smiting god's enemies, bitch slap the that backstabbing prick Judas and kick Pontius Pilate in the balls but no....  Instead I'm multiplying fish in a barrel.  This is so lame!

[I am the Crazycrab!]

To answer your first question, yes I am the reason you keep scratching!

 

In a semi-seriousness I am the Crazycrab, I've been a gamer for my entire life, I mostly play single player games, also a fan of tech, heavy metal, wrestling and terrible movies and most unfortunately am brother to Shagger who you have almost certainly seen post a load of nonsense on here.

 

I look forward to making you all itch!
