Topic: Answer the Question

Already have Kids thank-you! And 2+ kids isn't too bad as at least they entertain each other and help out when older but I do agree that they impact a lot on your financial and social life. I had 5 - although 4 are no longer 'kids'

Are you enjoying Christmas?

Yeah I usually do.

What gaming systems are considered retro to you?

Gen 7 and everything before this.

Best Christmas present this year?

I got a mini-drone. It's hard to learn to fly, but it's a lot of fun.
Is it snowy where you are?

No - Cold, Wet and miserable here

Did you get to spend many hours gaming today?

@BAMozzy: Just one hour during the day because I was watching films with my family and visiting my gran, played a couple of hours when my parents went to bed

Where are you spending new years eve?

@TripleGK: This year? I guess completing the Last of Us on PS4

Do you intend to make any gaming new years resolutions?

@BAMozzy: Nope - its weight this year.

Okay real question which I will play next;

Fallout 4, Witcher 3 or One Piece Warriors 3?

@themcnoisy: Personally I would start OPW3, the Fallout 4 and finally the Witcher 3 as playing them in the reverse order would make it seem even more disappointing - start with the worst and work upwards!

Favourite Xbox franchise (if any) and why?

@BAMozzy:
As for Microsofts own property Halo 1-Reach were great but the franchise is now a joke.

Gears 1 and 2 were brilliant at the time but same problem as Halo.

Forza is class, but I can live without it.... Just.

Crackdown it is then. Nothing like it on ps4. If I could look a tad further at other publishers KOTOR is up there too.

Favourite Nintendo franchise and why?

I don't play any Nintendo games anymore so I would say no franchise now.

Gears 3 (the whole Epic trilogy) is excellent - judgement though wasn't great. Halo is just awful - now! Forza is class if you like more sim based repetitive racing, Crackdown was great, then 2 was very bad....

Most significant new IP/franchise in the last 10 years and why?

@BAMozzy: That's too open ended to answer, from a business perspective it would be cod or even Fifa since 2009 not counting mobile games are games with micro transactions. So I will go with Mass Effect for RPGs, The Souls series for Action, gta 4 and 5 for world building and gears of war for 3rd person shooters.

What's your dream job?

@themcnoisy: Sport journalist OR this. If I could make a living out of either I'd be really happy.

If you had to move to another country, where would you go?

@TripleGK: That they're understanding of others, and true to themselves. I hope that's not cheating, picking two like that, but I can't decide between them.

What's your favourite word in the English language? Mine's 'Jabberwocky', I think.

@TheMightyPunram: I don't have a favourite word and I can't say what word I probably use the most

What was the last game you bought and what do you think will be the next?

The last game I bought was Left 4 Dead 2 on PC I believe, and the next will probably be Jade Empire.
Best present you got for Christmas?

Best is a tough one to single out, but the one I use most is a stylus for my Surface. I used to draw (badly) a lot when I had more free time, and being able to doodle on a screen with pressure sensitive gubbins going on is really, really fun.

Best present you gave for xmas?

This year - I gave my brother a black mini-bike pump.
Worst Christmas present you've received?

@Jaz007: I asked for subbuteo when I was a kid, for anyone who doesn't know its footy / soccer played with tiny figures on discs you flick around a huge pitch the size of a dining table. Very popular when I was tiny.

What I got was 1 team.

No pitch.

No other team to play against.

No ball.

Just the Leeds united subbeuteo football team.

I don't even support Leeds!!

Yipee Kai Aye or Hasta La Vista baby.

@themcnoisy: Hasta La Vista - gotta love a bit of Arnie.

Best Terminator film OTHER than T2?
