John and Lauren Gaming!

              In my youth one of the more exciting things to do was to go to the local blockbuster and pick up some movies and a game. I love the experience. I think it was all the options combined with the expectation of fun. A trip to the Blockbuster was either consciously or subconsciously known as a precursor to fun! Well now we have Netflix and Hulu and Amazon Prime. Watching movies and shows is easy and instant. One thing that was lost when the video stores shut down was the end of game rentals. Then I found Redbox. Problem with Redbox is if it is a popular kiosk you aere almost guaranteed to get what you want. Then the price of renting a game for long enough to beat it is almost as much as it would be to buy the game. Add on the fact that anyone who has made the transition to Next Gen don even get options yet at Redbox. Which means if I want to play PS4 games I have to buy them or so I thought.      Then my cousin ...

Assasins Creed Unity interview on Rev3. I would say this is the game I am second most excited for out of all the games coming out. Coming out next month on the 11th.

                These days ever game franchise and developer and publisher have their faults. Some have many. EA has a lot and Bioware has really squandered some good opportunities like SWTOR. Their are a lot of things about Bioware game that a lot of people don't like. It looks like EA is going to do everything it can to continue its aggressive DLC policy.       With all that said it is important to look past all the BS. Look at what is put on the shelf and ask yourself is this game worth the price. Will I enjoy this and will it make me happy. Even with all the things I don't like about this game or this company will I still enjoy this? Don't listen to the hype or the haters. Just ask yourself what your opinion is on this game.      For me at this point Bioware games (including SWTOR) have hit every sweet spot in what I am looking for. I know without even looking at ...

               So a lot of people have a pretty strong opinions about game reviews.You are saying a company giving away their product for free and early to someone they know will make a review can't fairly and upfront stipulate what gets said? The company making the game doesn't have to give the review code out! It is a privilege that is paid for by good press. If I am making a new Chip Salsa. I want to sell it and be successful so I can make more varieties of Salsa. I won't release it early before it goes to shelves to a video blogger that I know is going to say really bad things about it completely killing my dreams and product before it even hits the shelves......................COME ON PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS COMMON SENSE!!!!!!!!!!! YouTube and website reviewers DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT to these gaming companies games early. They don't at all. It is the gaming companies product that they are giving early and fre...

        So it has been a struggle for me to find good PS4 games. I am a pretty picky gamer to start with and on top of that I have many obligations that take me away from gaming these days. So Madden had been my kind of safe game for the next gen. Whenever I beat or got bored with a game I just went  back to madden. Recently however I have been more aware of my moods. I realized that more often than not Madden mas making me angry. Being competitive meant I was taking losses and poor game design from madden a little to serious. I came to the realization that Madden is one of the few games to do this to me League of Legends being the other. It really had always done this. The highs and happiness I felt when I succeeded was outweighed by the frustration and stress from when I lost. I had already quit League of Legends since it was making me really angry all the time even in most wins.       So I did the unthinkable. For the f...
