Join This Group

This group is for people who grew up with old school consoles like the gamecube, ps1, ps2, gameboy, gameboy advance, N64, Atari, sega genesis and so on. (New consoles are accepted as well like the xbox 360, psp, ps vita, ps3, Wii, Wii U and so on)

In this group you don't need anything, just try to be respectful of the people in this group and enjoy the Nostalgia that I'll try to deliver. Once in a while I'll mention other subjects besides classic gaming to keep this group more interesting like classic rock or whatever.

RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS

Happy Halloween!!!

22 October, 2020 - 0dds_0f_Even | 0 Comments

Since October tradition has been cancelled due to Covid, I thought I could share some spooky content to keep us occupied.

The folks at Cinemassacre did their own horror movie ranking from the 1920s till current year & I want to personally add my own ranking starting from the 50s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXnEVKzDvbA

1950s: Invasion of the Body Snatchers (It's more Sci-fi but the idea of aliens invading bodies was far out back in that era)

1960s: Psycho or House of Usher (Hard to choose)

1970s: Texas Chainsaw Massacre

1980s: Hard choice between Nightmare On Elm Street, The Fly (Cronenburg remake) or Hellraiser

1990s: I'll come back to this rating in an edit because there's too many good choices

2000s: Saw

2010s: Hereditary (Not a lot of good choices for the 2010s to be honest since most of the better films came from Indies like The Lighthouse for example.)

For the gaming side of things if you're a fan of the Silent Hill games someone made a great analysis on the similarities between Jacob's Ladder & the games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9AQXivtPmU

For any book readers I personally recommend reading anything from Junji Ito for a good scare & if you're not satisfied with one read than Goodreads made a good list of the best horror novels ever written. https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/135.Best_Horror_Novels

Have a good Halloween & stay safe!!!

EDIT: I removed Alien from the 1970s since I prefer the sequels (action) more than the original which is more horror focused & slow paced.

EDIT 2: I added 3 movies in my 80s ranking.

The future of older games on Steam

12 August, 2018 - 0dds_0f_Even | 2 Comments

First off I probably missed out on a lot of older games being released lately since so many games come everyday & because of my inactivity/laziness but I wanted to share this story since I care very deeply about game preservation.

You may have saw the dreadful news that Steam is going to cut Windows XP & Vista support on January 1st. https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=1558-AFCM-4577&l=

While it's reasonable to stop supporting an old OS for security reasons we're all probably wondering about the future of every game on steam that relies on Windows XP & Vista as the minimum requirement & Valve's plan on preserving + giving the games modern PC support so that we don't feel robbed.

Well thankfully we won't get an extreme case like with EA Origin deleting someone's game library for no reason. https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/96e9j5/ea_deleted_my_origin_account_and_ea_help_is/

Archive: https://archive.fo/GPfIt

However when that time does come there's 2 problems.

1) Windows XP or Vista + New Steam Client + Older Game = Access denied

2) Newer OS + New Steam Client + Older Game = Access Denied

I found a great video that explains the problem that Valve will have to fix since there really isn't any plan for Steam to update all the Windows XP & Vista games with modern PC support like what GOG does. (Vid starts at 12:25) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS9vvF1V1Dc&feature=youtu.be&t=12m25s

Feel free to leave your thoughts since for me personally just like with movies and music videogames deserve to be preserved as well.

I have probably spent most of my gaming nights playing league of legends, but I am open for every game or at least if my current pc can run it lol

I'd consider myself as a kind and nice helping guy with a somewhat good humour
Thanks for your time and may you all have a wonderful day :D
