Desert themed areas are the best areas in any game.

People see them as more bland and empty compared to other but I always feel like the open area is great to explore and try to find if anything was put into the area by the developers.

You just like the colour yellow. That's why.

If I judged locations based on colour than Water levels would be my favourite and the Water Temple from the Ocarina of Time would be my favourite level of all time ;)
 
Tokyo Drift is the best (and the only good) movie the franchise released.
I partially agree, in that Tokyo Drift is one of my top favorite Fast and the Furious movies (along with 1 and 5), though I certainly wouldn't agree that it's the only good one released.

After thinking about it, yes, the first one was pretty good too, but the rest are forgettable at best.
 
I will admit that I dislike how they've strayed from street racing to more Mission Impossible type movies.
 
I never truly got into The Fast and the Furious movies until Tokyo Drift. The first and the second didn't hold my attention for some reason. I seen them again just recently and they still don't. (Not really sure why honestly)
 
Shoveling snow is fun.

I don't know that I would say it's fun but I have always found it to be relaxing (until a plow drives by). It probably has to do with how serene it is on the morning after a shovel-worthy snowfall.
 
My no no about Tokyo drift is the closed accent kid, going to japan. I just can't take the movie serious due to that huge shift of chars
 
ASMR is not weird.
It depends. Vacuum cleaner sounds (or anything along those lines)? Oh yeah, they're great. I use them while I study (when I'm at home, obviously :lol:) or when I'm trying to fall asleep. They help me to concentrate on whatever I'm trying to do (okay, I'm currently procrastinating but that's another story). But the ones where people stroke their beards for three hours? They're quite odd - but then, I do understand why these videos exist. I just never use them, mainly because they're not my cup of tea. Each to their own, I guess.
 
ASMR is not weird.

Personally I love it. I don't know about others but I get it from music and if I'm really relaxed I can encourage it to happen just by playing certain songs. Can be any genre though, even from metal to RnB, just a certain note is all it takes.

There have been times when I've lined up a playlist and had it time after time after time. Amazing feeling. Orgasmic almost.
 
I've never been able to experience ASMR, but I do enjoy the videos. I've been using it to help me fall asleep for some time now. You can find videos on just about any topic out there if you look hard enough.

Ephemeral Rift, ASMRnerd, and asmattr are some of my favorites.
 
I don't like Uncharted and God of War series. I know they are competent for what they are, but I simply can't "connect" for some reason.

Great choices. I don't fall asleep to ASMR but it's a relaxing feeling. Not to mention the tingles that's if you experience them. Springbok ASMR and gentlewhispering and gibi ASMR are some of my favorites. It seem like a lot of ASMR artist have gotten really creative with their content within the pass few years. It's a hit or miss at times but it's cool that their exploring.
 
Okay, this one is more in terms of the internet, but Resident Evil 7 looks like a proper RE game imo. It has a creepy setting, save room, item box, limited inventory, enemies that clearly came from a virus, and puzzles. That checks all of the boxes.
 
I think NFS Most Wanted 2005 is a bit overrated. Honestly, it's fun, but not as fun as the underground games that came before it imo.
I totally agree! I always thought Carbon and Underground 2 were better than Most Wanted and over a decade later, I still do. It's not a bad game, I mean I still like it and enjoy it to this day, but I still think it is one of, if not the most overrated NFS game ever.

I made a post about it earlier explaining why:
Need for Speed Most Wanted 2005 is overrated.

I don't dislike the game and I don't think it is bad either, but I just never thought it was as great as people said it was. When I used to be in school, people considered it as their favorite NFS title and I never fully understood why.

I thought the gameplay was generally not as fun as some of the others, especially at the end of the game and it's difficulty can get somewhat tedious. I found the cops to be pretty annoying and way too aggressive at times. I don't care if the game is about customization or not, the customization's weren't nearly as good as some of the other 2nd gen NFS titles and I really think they could have done much better with it. Again, I don't think it is a bad game, I just think it's overrated.
After playing through it once just recently, I stand by everything I have said thus far. Only other things I want to say is I find the soundtrack to be very sub par compared to the other 2nd gen NFS games and it's not "bad", but it's not great either. The challenge series is very very hard and takes a lot of practice to beat, and in the end all you get is 2 cars for quick race that you can't even customize. 👎

Again, I can't stress it enough, I don't dislike the game, I still enjoy it, but I just don't think it is as great as it's made out to be.

I hope you're right. The demo felt a lot like RE and that was without the save rooms, item box and so on. We'll find out for sure soon enough.
 
One life per round game types in shooter games, such as Casual/Competitive in Counter Strike or Search and Destroy in Call of Duty are boring to play.

Yup, completely agree with this. I have friends that love playing search and destroy, but I don't care for them at all. I barely spend anytime actually playing those games as I usually get taken out early and thus I end up watching the rest of the match.

I honestly prefer playing team deathmatch or domination just so I can do more things and can get back to the action for whenever I go down.

Keep playing it more and you will improve bit by bit. I actually like those kind of game-modes more than DM/TDM, because they require some kind of thinking. You can't just run around like a maniac, because you know you will respawn 5 seconds later if you die. You have to move around carefully and have to "scan" your surroundings constantly. I quite like that. I feel like it sharpens your wits, too (could be complete BS tho). I also like the kind of "pressure" you get in those game-modes. Everytime you mess up, you will hurt your team. I think this really motivates you to play even better.
