Here's a quick question for ya: What kind of keyboard do you prefer and why? Mechanical (clicky), membrane (soft), or hybrid (both)? This year, I've gotten to know the difference between the two (I'll explain below). I kind of think I like the membrane (my Cynosa) more than my mechanical/hybrid (my Ornata). From what I've briefly read (mostly on the packaging), it seems "hardcore" gamers prefer mechanical keyboards. I'm not really sure why though. I think it has something to do w/ response time and being able to have a definite, hard feel of pressing a key, being sure that you press it. Since I'm not sure of this preference, perhaps someone here could fill me in,...

Final Fantasy VIII is my ultimate, most favorite Final Fantasy of them all. I was introduced to it and the series about 20 years ago and I fell deeply in love with it. I don't know how many times I've completed this game, but I remember when I'd play it annually. Now, it's been remastered and the game looks beautiful! Check them embedded video that will show you the difference (between this and the original) to see for yourself. I haven't completed the game in this play through yet, but I feel like it deserves a strong recommendation (from one of FFVIII's biggest fans).

âDOOMâ Eternal is a sequel to âDOOMâ (2016). However, it doesnât just add new content, but it also adds some new functionality. Platforming is still a part of the series and DOOM Eternal adds a bit more to getting around. Now there is a mod for the Super Shotgun called the Meat Hook. It will let you grapple onto a demon and shoot or punch it. The new Blood Punch melee attack does some serious damage. If you want to instantly kill a Pinky, Blood Punch it in the face. The gauge for this attack gets refilled when you perform Glory Kills.

DOOM (not to be confused with Doom apparently) is still a great game, four years later. However, one of my main complaints is the platforming. Itâs kind of like a cross between Doom and Super Mario Bros. Still, I think itâs a great game. As someone whoâs been playing Doom since the beginning (and even before with Wolfenstein 3D), DOOM is a great addition to the series. There wasnât much of a story in the original Doom games. Doom 3 had more of a story, and so does this one.
DOOM is a great visual upgrade from the other games in the series. It looks great and apparently performs really well, too. You can play with the Vulkan API, which seems to be pretty awesome. I seem...

Here's just a quick announcement about some very exciting news I found in a brief announcement from Studio Wildcard. Apparently, they've announced Ark 2, but haven't released a trailer or details. I believe I read that it's going to focus on Santiago's story (played by Vin Diesel). He's one of the characters you'll only find out about by reading Explorer Notes that are hidden throughout the game. These notes cover a few different characters, but Helena and Rockwell (David Tennant) seem to be the main characters, at least at the moment. They also showed a preview for Ark: The Animated series, which stars actors such as Russell Crow, Vin Diesel, David Tennant, Karl...
When I heard Ghosts 'n Goblins was getting a reboot today I was happy. That's an odd thing to say considering I've never played a version of Ghost 'n Goblins I've enjoyed. That said, it's always been a game with a great art style and premise and Resurrection seems to take it in a very true to the games roots feel. The hard part about playing Ghosts 'n Goblins on NES is that it felt like you die more to game jank than it being "difficult but fair" and I hope this reboot fixes that.

The Epic Games Store on PC is giving away 15 free PC games this year to help ring in the new year.

In our first ever music review, we chat about Metallica's new release, S&M 2, and how it fits with the legacy of the original S&M and Metallica's catalog.
My 4 year old son Finley got a Pokeball with 3 packs of Pokemon cards as a Thanksgiving present from his Grandma. Since he's still quite young we don't really play the Pokemon card game as much as pretend to bring out cards and attack each other. It's quite silly and he wins a lot because, magically, the made up rules always seem to favor him. One thing I noticed in these new Pokemon card packs he got for Thanksgiving was that they contained a lot more cards than the ones we've picked up at the dollar store and also they come with a digital code to redeem a pack on the Pokemon digital card game. I've haven't played the Pokemon digital card game yet so I decided to...
Just spitballing ways to fix the problem with scalpers and bots when it comes to buying consoles, what if sales were no longer online, but in person only? You'd still have to probably wait in line to score one, but if the inventory went just to stores, there'd be less scalpers getting them.
Of course, Amazon would never let that happen lol.
What if, you could buy a maximum of 1 online, but you couldn't have it shipped to yourself, you'd still have to pick it up from a store? I don't know how many Amazon stores there are around the country, but maybe they could partner up with local stores?
Neither of these are perfect ideas, just brainstorming :)
One nice part of only allowing consoles to be purchased from a store is that anyone could get in line. But I wonder if scalpers would just hire folks to stand in line like they did with iPhones?
Yeah, it's not a perfect idea, but it would at least slow down scalpers a bit more than just having to click a few buttons.
