Q&A #9

ScribbleSamAnimation - What is your opinion over the recent controversy over a playable character in the latest upcomming Tekken game? The character in question is "Lucky Chloe". There has been a big hate campaign against her and they want Namco to remove her from the game. I'm not fantastically sure why but I think it's because she's cute and she brings JPop music to mind.
What's your opinion?

Waldon Newman - I have a Youtube channel and yes its rubbish, the thing is I would do more videos and I have a few ideas but, I will get to the point soon promise! is I cant stand to listen to my own voice so I dont want to learn to edit videos and listen to myself talk ! Have you had this problem... not liking the sound of your own voice... and if you did how did you over come it ?

Robert Berry - As a fellow Atari 8-Bit user, might I ask what game, aside from the awesome Defender, was your favourite on that system and why? Many thanks.


LastofAvari - if BBC called you to make a 10 minute weekly program on retro gaming or gaming in general for them would you accepted it?

metro2002 - Do you think console gaming is becoming more like PC gaming with updates, broken firmware versions etc on consoles nowadays? And did you game on your amiga back in the day or just use it as a workhorse?

Hamer the Gamer - Good day Sir. A few questions if you don't mind
1. Are you planning on getting other Everdrive carts or multicart devices for the other systems?
2. Are you planning on upgrading your PC system next year for Elite Dangerous as I know you're interested in the game?
3. Do you black pudding?

MarkTheMorose - Hi Steve. I just learned today that Ralph Baer died on the 6th of December. Just wondered if you'd care to say a few words on the Q and A about him, as he is about as pivotal a figure in the world of home video gaming as you can get. Also, are there any unsung heroes in the gaming world you'd like to be more widely known?

Anthony Rice - Q1 Whats your opinion on the failed Sega Saturn? I'm personally a big fan of it. I reckon it has the best non-analog game controller ever made.

Q2 Do you have a preference For mechanical keyboards when using computers? If so. What switches have you tried, cherry, Topre, IBM buckling spring etc and which do you prefer?
Thanks Mr Benway

RECORDthenRETURN - What's your favourite piece of cover art or packaging out of all the games in your collection?

TheRetrospective81 - are you a fan of Christmas? do you still think its as good as when you were younger or is it now an overly commericalized piece of crap? Favourite Christmas Song?

courtneyfriel - Did you like the Blade Runner 1985 video game for the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC or the Blade Runner 1997 video game point-and-click adventure game developed by Westwood Studios.

Lego Races - A few questions for you:
1- F1 is becoming more like endurance racing but then shorter. What do you think about endurance racing? Do you watch the 24 hours of Le mans for example?
2- Have you ever seen an Grand Prix irl? If yes did you like it? If no would you like to go to an F1 race?
3- If you have the power, what would you do to make F1 better in your mind?

Keep an eye on these two channels in the coming days :)

"For Friday" Q&A #7



Daniel Cordell - Do you think SEGA CD 32X would have survived against the Saturn as a cheaper option if they made it an all in one?
As WWE can't give you the wrestling fix you like anymore. Is there any other promotions on Youtube, their own website, or Sky TV that does it for you?

Chris Bateman / Gregory York / A1dy74   - Have you seen or heard about the new sinclair spectrum vega?

David james Logue - Do you like the resident evil games? Do you have any fav's or memories of playing them?

wingnut4427  - What are your top 5 favorite youtube gaming channels & why ?

9ElevenGamer - What was the last time you lost your rag with a game, and what game was it?

Chris James  -  Is there any retro game that you enjoyed the first time you played it, but when you went back to it you found yourself thinking “hold on…this is shite”?
Are there any games from any era of gaming that you consider to be particularly over-rated ?
Are there any particularly obscure games that you believe have been criminally neglected and more people should know about?

ScribbleSamAnimation - 1. Why do you like Spiderman and if so what are some of your favorite Spiderman games and/or games in which Spiderman has appeared in
2. Do you find it a bit cliche when Mark from CGR would stick a MegaDrive game into a SNES?
3.What are your opinions on Hatsuné Miku . If you're not familiar, she is a 'Vocaloid' which is basically a Voice Synthesizer program for your PC that you type in some lyrics, alter her voice and make her sing. People have made Hatsune Miku do cover versions of many songs, and here's one of them. I think she's cool!!
4. What is your favorite radio station? Mine's Absolute Radio. I mostly listen to Absolute Radio 90's.

Andrew Advent - You've talked about your vision getting poorer, what are your thoughts on getting laser vision correction?

Gary Hart - Have you considered getting a Gotek Floppy Emulator for you Amiga 500 ?

TyFlip - during your younger years, nostalgia kicking in, what sort of pubs/clubs did you frequent as a young lad, music genres you were into as a young un and what sort of clientele did you encounter? Rough? Any funny drunken incidents? Nitty gritty please. Thanks.

guitarHero1885 - for friday: would you ever consider pc gaming instead of consoles and what are the pros and cons to pc over consoles or consoles over pc in your opinion? related to gaming and other functions.

browland1 - Music-related question. What are your thoughts on music going from physical format to all digital? Personally, I love shopping for music in a brick and mortar store and owning a large collection of physical albums. I don't get the same satisfaction from a bunch of files on my PC.

Daniel Cordell - What term do you prefer for the systems that are in the stores not talking about them coming out but they are here already. Next Gen or Current Gen?

Zabeus  - Considering that you play racing games better with a game pad than with a wheel, do you think real cars should come equipped with game pads? This is a serious question.
