  1. Nostolgia is powerful as someone mentioned BUT it could also be the fact of writing demos and perfecting songs 5 years turns their first commercial album into a best of with songs they've worked 5 years on. In other cases edgie bands that smooth out and get more mainstream just sound better in general and that's why they become mainstream such as Deftones, Five Finger Death Punch and that bimbo who sings metal with Marilyn Manson videos. Her name is escaping me Maria something. Its also how much you hear a song or see a movie to know and love it. Things will grow on you.

    The most overrated games you've played

    I couldn't ever get into GTA 4 for how "real" it was. It just felt dull and a departure from the previous three or two games. I think a lot of people had a problem with it beyond how high the reviewers marked it.

    What is your opinion on Youtube red?

    I'm happy I haven't been the only person to notice mailbags, lets plays and podcasts. It is of course easier to shit out content like that. A mailbag takes 5 minutes. Even Let's Plays have editing, some don't. Its just interesting seeing people with 2 million subscribers and these lesser videos have a few thousand views even months after. Of course views are views. The good excuse is if you don't like it don't watch. I'm jealous I can't do that with my own career, but sadly if there's a problem I'm the one that gets the call. Pwediepie is like CoD to me. Everyone on the Internet seems to hate him yet he's got the most hits. Go figure. Perhaps those that love one or the other are busy enjoying them rather than posting in forums while Youtubers are making videos about both for fun and profit. I would have never heard of Pew Pew if it weren't for other Youtubers... complaining about him. I suppose that's how you get the side traffic, connecting yourself to the biggest thoroughfare.

    Sonic X-treme v37 Release 3 with Levels

    That 2006 video looks a lot better than where this alpha is at right now, but yes its Minecraft blocks the exception is the smooth slopes. The 2006 version feels more open and less confined or bare, but an alpha is an alpha I guess.

    Sonic X-treme v37 Release 3 with Levels

    I came back to apologize for insulting the game. Sorry to the game, its developers and those whose parade I rained on.

    Sonic X-treme v37 Release 3 with Levels

    Yes. It still looks like Minecraft with Sonic in it. Perhaps if it wasn't made exclusively out of blocks.

    Favorite wall texture

    I always liked the scrolling faces.

    Sonic X-treme v37 Release 3 with Levels

    I'm happy for all the Sonic fans that he's finally in Minecraft. They should put Samus in there. She has a sticky wall ball that makes more sense for going up and over 90 degree angles than Sonic. *edit* Grab your umbrella. The textures are low quality to mimic the original the low quality is reminiscent of Minecraft. Its all nothing but blocks with simple slants. While I respect the hard work someone put into this project to make it a reality, its just unappealing. People will buzz about this project, but if Sega were to release it today or back then people would hate on it. Wow 150 levels? Is it a puzzle game or a mobile game? If not, they should have made 30 good ones and worked on those.

    That Doom movie amiright?

    It wasn't bad it just didn't use Doom's assets other than bfg first person like Blair Witch and imps. People wanted chainsawing off cyber demon heads after the bfg killed hundreds of imps around it.

    The most overrated games you've played

    I learned today AAA is a score rating of 87% or higher rather than a big budget game.

    What is your opinion on Youtube red?

    Isn't there a red tube? YouTube red sounds close enough to be a lawsuit.

    What is your opinion on Youtube red?

    Agreed. I wish I could block some Youtubers. People that I've unsubscribed from Youtube always tells me when they have new videos. I get tired of Youtubers after about 6 months. Some have shifted from quality videos to podcasts, mailbags and lets plays. The whole $10 thing has been in the works maybe 6 months since when I first heard about it. They were also thinking about filming their own stuff, but I'm not sure how well that will work.

    What is your opinion on Youtube red?

    10$ is well worth it for how much I YouTube for view and music. 20$ maybe. Sad to think how YouTube's content catcher finds vido game music but not unofficially uploaded songs. I'll look into Google music. I haven't subscribed to anything for 3 years.

    What is your opinion on Youtube red?

    I use YouTube for the music. I'll pay them to not have ads. It's got all the bootleg music real music subscription sites don't have with none of the drm. Don't have to download an app. YouTube is a monopoly even with vemeo and daily motion. They're competition like a 3 year old is to Rambo.

    What non-FPS games were also 2.5D?

    Was it? I thought it was all 2D designed to look 3D. Usually I think of 2.5D as a 2D side scroller made in full 3D.

    Why does mapping for Unreal engine suck so hard?

    Biggest advantage is they'll push your game to market. GameMaker and Unity won't. Hammer is worse than Unreal 4 for creating rooms. If its harder, you're doing it wrong. Like damn this saw won't work on this sheet of paper. Well are you using the handle or the blade? I've got randomly generated rooms going in Unreal 4.
  20. RCT3 sucked, although I wasn't that into RCT2. More is always better, but it became too gimmicky and challenging even when I had gone through everything RCT1 and its expansion packs had to offer. Maybe I was just burnt out before RCT2.

    There are colleges / universities that teach it in the UK as well. https://www.unrealengine.com/education I'm not sure people need college courses when they have online tutorials, but personalized guidance always helps. Along with a college or university saying yes this person knows their stuff. Best thing is learn all you can, make a hit game, then drop out.

    Great answer. Rad Racer.

    Disappointing purchase stories, anyone?

    I have a feeling "One-Life" will cause a lot of disappointment more than Infected: Survivor Stories.

    Disappointing purchase stories, anyone?

    Hulu. Next day episodes of current shows.... yeah if you have a cable provider. If I had a cable provider I could just record or watch them on demand. Oh and there's commercials too? Even when I'm paying for it? Awesome. Fails to load commercial leaving a black screen. Fails to load content after commercials? I had the problem on 3 computers. I wrote them about it. They never got back to me.
