I find that I don't play as much anymore and I have a PS plus subscription.  So far I've also played witcher, but I actually completed it.  It took a while of on and off gaming.  May be about 4 months to complete it.  Right now I'm currently playing Grim Fandango.  It's ok, but same thing.  On and off gaming.

I get like this a lot. I'll play a game or several games for an extended period of time and then for some reason it won't hold my interest anymore and I take a break for a bit before coming back and starting the cycle over.

I've just got to put my quick two cents on the single player only train. I've tried multiplayer on several occasions and endured it at best. I just don't get much enjoyment out of any that I've tried. Single player games with a great story is where I want to be.

During a brief fling with trying to be "active and outdoor-sy" I used the Zombies Run app.  Anybody else use this?  It seemed interesting enough - I just never find the time for exercise anymore.  My naturally trim figure belies an early heart attack waiting to happen lol.

I know I'm a bit late to this party, but fashionably late I hope. I totally used this app as well during some of my workouts. I'm an avid runner so this was a fun alternative to just listening to my music. I actually used this during my training to do my first half-marathon. Perhaps when and if the zombies come, I'll be ready now.

I think I'd want the ability to travel back and forth through time. To step into the past and see things as they were. To leap forward to see what is to come. Of course, the dangers of the 'Grandfather Paradox' could be an issue that could make this dangerous. But, I'd still go with it.

Just finished up Firewatch and Life is Strange recently. I've been into story driven games lately and they quenched that thirst nicely.

In the past I was an active girl. Playing softball, volleyball and a big time swimmer. But, as I got older, like for most people, life starts to happen. It was so easy to come home at the end of the day and just take it easy. Well, this year I've renewed my intrest in getting fit like I used to be.

I've started a running routine early this year and I have felt an excitement and a burning intensity inside me that I'd lost for a long time. Being on the road, nothing but some good music and as much road as I want to run under my feet. It has been amazing. I am working hard to run my first half-marathon this summer. I'm super excited to do it.

Also, like E-Day I've found a renewed intrest in cooking fresh meals every evening. Not only is it fun but it's played a big part in my goal to run that marathon. Both have combined to make me excited every evening, be it for an awesome meal I've decided to cook or reaching the end of an amazing run.

It may be old come new again, but I'm obsessed all the same!

A gamer in France has sold one of the most massive gaming collections ever assembled. Complete sets for 22 different consoles including every console made from Sega and all games from Nintendo spanning from the Famicon to the GameCube. Included in the collection were complete collections of the lesser known NEC systems, the Nintendo Virtural Boy, Sega Mega-Drive and and Pioneer's LaserActive. Making the collection even more impressive is many of the games are factory sealed or come with their original box with instructions. The link to the now closed auction is here. Included is a complete list of the games as well as a generous amount of pictures. The collection is massive in scale, over 7000 games in all. It also went at a massive price for over 1 million US dollars to a buyer in Canada. I was taken aback by such an impressive gaming collection I thought everyone here might enjoy seeing this incrediable collection.

I think game trailer can really be a big selling point to a game. Be it one that gets your pulse pounding or tugs at your heart strings if they can reach your emotions on any level it can raise a gamers interest level enough perhaps to be willing to put the money down for that game that just looks amazing. Aside from that, they can be just a lot of fun.

I'm relatively new in the grand scheme of things when it comes to video games but I enjoy them very much obviously. I just thought it would be fun to share your favorite game trailer or trailers that either helped sell you on getting a copy or you just thought were great.

For me, the trailer for Dragon Age: Origins comes to mind. It's very cinematic and the music is amazing. The music actually inspired me to buy the band's whole CD which I enjoy. Here is the trailer!

Another for me would be the terrifying game of Dead Space. The innocence of a nursery rhyme is totally at odds with the horrors that the game brings. It's chilling. Enjoy!

Feel free to post and share as many as you like!

Those are actually pretty darn cool. I agree with Atik in that my favorite of the bunch is the Peanuts followed closely I think by Superman. Alas, they didn't put up my lunchbox I had when I was little, Rainbow Brite, but I can forgive that. Is it me or were lunchboxes back then much more awesome then today?

That is right. A brand new Commodore 64 is to be released. Nearly 30 years have passed since the original was put on the market and about 17 years since Commodore International went bankrupt. But now the name and the computer are back. And back in sort of a big way. This is not just a remake of the old model of old time's sake. It's been designed with the modern user in mind. It comes with a 1.8 gigahertz dual-core processor, the option to have a Blu-Ray player, HDMI ports and Ethernet ports. It's said to run on Linux but does have the user option to install Windows if you wish.

But while the insides may have changed, the outside has stayed as true as possible to the original model. So while nostalgic on the outside it runs with some modern day power on the inside. Perfect perhaps for those longing for those retro days. But the best part for some may be the fact that the new Commodore 64 be able to run all your old games from your original Commodore right away via the C64 emulator.

So, will we once again being seeing Commodore 64's adorning all our friends homes and office? Perhaps not but only time will tell. Take a look over at their website to find out even more about it.

So, what does everyone think? A nostalgic fantasy or perhaps an idea that just might catch on again?

I am in between the two on this. Depending on the type I prefer one over the other. I like apple jelly but prefer strawberry in a jam/preserves. But honestly, I'm not picky and will just be happy with whatever is available.

Does anyone have a game that won you over, only for you to anxiously purchase it's sequel/followup and find it utterly disappointing?
