Our Picks

Who is into drawing, painting, sculpting etc.?   Who is into photography?    Who is into digital art?   Anyway, what programs do you use?   Well, some common digital art programs are: Daz 3D, Blender, and Poser.   Some common photo editing software is: Photoshop, Gimp, and Paintshop.

Where do you go for vacation?  What are your plans for 2022?  Well, my plan is always to go to Pigeon Forge, maybe Gatlinburg too, and Dollywood.  Well, all these places are located in the Blue Ridge Mountains near my home in Tennessee, USA.  Anyway, though, I'd like to return to South Carolina again and see the beach, as I did in 2011.   Well, my area is landlocked, so a beach trip is a big deal.    

Is there any new music in 2020 that catches your attention?   Does anyone plan on making music seriously in 2022?   What kind do you make?   What instrument do you play?  Do you sing?  Who has thought about getting into a band etc.?

What is your favorite computer program that you use almost daily? 
 
As a writer/blogger, I use Word and Google Docs daily. 

Well, as already mentioned, I'd like to get into shape and go on vacation.  However, other plans include searching for new work and doing more work on my drum lesson project.  What plans do you all have?   Does anyone garden?   I'd like to get into that, and I have tons of land, however, there isn't any working tools to plow it.

I love playing Uno, ass*, solitaire Klondike on my iPhone 12 mini and speed. How about you?

In the USA, such games would be called soccer.  Anyway, what are your favorite ones?  What teams do you pick when you play?    What positions do you like?   At what difficulty level do you play?   Have you won anything notable?    Who has played online?   How would you compare that to playing buddies in your room or the computer?

anyone like The Vampire Diaries?

This series started in 2008 with a movie on Hallmark Channel. At the end of each season, there is another movie. You have to be sure you watch these in order or you’ll be lost. It’s a good comedy-drama. Nothing gory, easy to watch. Being on the Hallmark Channel, it tends to lean more towards the romantic aspect in my opinion. I’m up to date with all the seasons & movies. Note too, it started as being called The Good Witch, now it’s just called Good Witch. Anybody like it? What did you think about it?

Would you rather be a jack of many trades or a master of one?

GTA+ is a new subscription service from Rockstar for GTA 5 E&E. What do you guys think about it?

If you've played the original Xbox, you know it has a massive library of some truly fun games that haven't as yet been made backwards compatible.  Some because the studios that own them no longer exist or don't want to make them backwards compatible, others for reasons we don't yet know.  Is there a game on the Original Xbox that you feel should be ported to the Xbox One/Series consoles?
 
For me, personally, I want to see Advent Rising get a port, it's a very underrated game with a good story, sort of like an early Mass Effect game.

What are some of your favorite Desserts that you enjoy eating?

Do you guys have any idea how Nintendo is going to introduce us a new Mario, They told us we are going to see a New Mario, What exactly do you think they mean by that?

Personally, I'm good with the current switch devices. I don't use the switch enough to justify a "pro" model regardless of the specs.
 
I'm curious what other people think though.

What was your first console from Nintendo?  Which one is your favorite?  Why do you like that one over the others?

It used to be Steam, the main option, the big dog, etc.  They had great sales, great options, etc.  Then we started to see online sellers, Epic, GOG, GMG, etc.  Then the Steam sales started to become less impressive, less frequent and the other platforms started to match them, same products, unique products, similar sales.  Now they all feel more or less the same as one another, different gimmicks and whatnot, but essentially the same.
 
Are there too many options now, is the market too diluted for there to be a decent game selling platform? 

I know some games come out with beta versions. So I was wondering who utilizes it. People have to remember that a Beta version is just that. There will always be bugs in there. They will never know what kind there will be unless they just start the version & have people give feedback on it.

In this thread you can recommend me video games. I currently have ran out of ideas and I want to try something new. I love simulator , MMORPG, survival, shooting games and stuff like that. Feel free to recommend other genres too.

Have you ever thought about making your own video game? Even better, have you ever made one? What would your video game be about? What would you rate your video game? For everyone? Teens+? etc.
I think it would be quite hard to make a video game. I would rather play them than make one.

I have been making a small video game recently and one of the hardest parts of the development process has been finding textures, so I wanted to share with you some websites that allow you to download and use textures for free.
http://texturelib.com/ - This website allows you to download 10 textures per days for free. I would recommend this website for doors and windows textures.
https://www.textures.com/ - You may have known this website by its old name; cgtextures, You get 15 free credits per day to use on downloading textures but those can only be used with up to medium sized textures or small if the texture is seamless. For decently sized images, that will use up 2 credits each you will get around 7 free textures per day. This website recommended for more random textures.
http://texturepilot.com – is a website that allows you to download up to 25MB worth of free textures every day, the trouble is that the amount of compression used on each of the textures is extremely inconsistent meaning the amount of images you can download per day can be anyware from 2 to 50. I would heavily recommend this website if you want shop textures for your game world.
 
Please remember to check the terms of services to make sure these website are right for you.
 

How often do you start back to the beginning of a game just for fun or to try to get a better score (or whatever)?

Are you better at the real thing or the game?  Note, myself, there has been times where I was better than playing American football on a game than real life, cause, frankly, I've never been able to play American football.  I don't have the body for it (tall and skinny) and I've never had enough field experience.

Are there any game series you wish would be resurrected/remastered and bought back into that next-gen life? I'm sure there are loads of amazing cult classic series out there that have sadly gone by the wayside.
 
For me, whislt the current game is not neccessairly 'dead' in the water, it's been a long time since any hint of a new game was on the horizon and it's getting staler and staler to play everytime I do - it's Left 4 Dead! I aboslutely adore the game, the characters, the 'story' and just how it works out. I've been dying for a third installment for years but given Valve's history with third series I am not holding out much hope haha.
 
What about you? Which game would you like to see bought back to life?
