Well I watched Death Note last year. It was my first anime. After that I didn't watch any other anime until this year. My cousin got me into watching Death Note. He is a big fan of Naruto series but I didn't like it so he recommended Death Note.

Well in the end of 2006 my cousin showed me DragonballZ and I was very much impressed with the game and decided to watch the anime, which at that moment became my favorite. Continued to watch this, Beyblade and Pokemon until in late 2008 my friend showed me Naruto and I instantly started watching the series and also picked up Bleach. After visiting PG's anime section a couple of times I decided to watch some anime's and since then I have been watching them like hell.

Oh yeah I have been watching Pokemon since 2000. I was just a kid back then. I used to love it. But then the series went downhill. After that I watched Digimon sometimes but it wasn't good as Pokemon. After that I watched Beyblade. So I guess I have almost 10 years of experience.

Well I used to watch One piece, Pokemon, Digimon, Dragon ball z, Bey blade etc on Cartoon network way back, was very young. But haven't we all :p
Started watching some real animes during 2007/2008 like FMA, Death note etc.
My friend had DSL back then and was one of the few who had it at the time in my area as it was pretty rare (How times change :wink2:), he showed me some AMV's of Naruto and Fullmetal Alchemist and I fell in love with them. It got me into music/songs too :p
Bought Naruto, started watching it, then I got DSL just for downloading episodes, downloaded Fullemtal Alchemist, watched it, loved it. Still is my second favourite anime. And well, started downloading and watching animes.

I first watched digimon, then Pokemon, then beyblade and then finally Naruto. I was an avid Naruto fan however the slow progress of the story made my interest in anime fade away. :(

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
