Questions

DA VINSTER (Vinny): What was a game you were highly anticipating that came out and fell flat on its face for you? If it's cyberpunk, I want another one lol. Mine recently was the new Mario Golf. One of the modes in the campaign sucked so bad (or I did) and I couldn't progress further so I just dropped the game.

JoeColeslaw: So.... how is everyone doin today?

*monotone screaming*: What video game would you design, if the costs and time of making one weren’t an issue?

Rdeacon: Going to piggyback off @*monotone screaming* question... What game would you redesign? What game would you fix a fatal flaw in? (can be the same game)

Primefan: What is your dream car or truck?

Primefan: What would be the interior of your perfect gaming room?
