"For me, drinking and video games go hand in hand on Friday and Saturday night. We all do it. We start out in our younger years as small kids drinking juice boxes before the next level of Sonic. We graduated up to soda as we got older before taking on that next passenger in Crazy Taxi. So as an "adult" (I use that term loosely when referring to myself) we carry the torch into alcoholic beverages, mixing them in with our video game time. It can be fun times, or it can totally fuck up your game save forever. Here are a few tips with New Year's coming up to help you stay up late and get your game on."
Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.
Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.
But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.
They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
Marie Dealessandri speaks to Borislav Slavov and Gustavo Santaolalla about “the new golden age of games music”.
A famous actor from Starship Troopers has showered praise on Helldivers 2 and said he is open to the idea of playing General Brasch.
Nothing beats college when we would split cases of Milwaukee's Best and play Goldeneye for hours on weeknights. Who needs Anthropology class when you have remote mines.
There are definitely some games that are more fun when you're drinking. Rock Band is good after a few beers, but after too many it gets annoying. Same with Street Fighter IV. I like to throw back a bunch of scotch and fire up Forza 3 or GT5 Prologue.
Sucks being twenty. I'll probably know the feeling in what at least a month and a few days anyway though.
So far I've found nothing is good when playing a game, usually have to eat or drink something before I start. If I try to do so in the middle of playing a game I usually end up dead.
I'm a Steel Reverse & smoke a nice blunt kind of guy while playing games myself.
Never smoked or drinked, each his own I guess.
