Which vocalist would you describe as ''it isn't bad, it's infuriating''

I honestly can't think of any... Fred Durst is bad, and it's hilariously entertaining.

Favorite type of Burger?

Hmm... just a good ol' Bacon Cheeseburger for me. However, I love me some Chicken, and I've definitely changed from being that kid who only strictly wanted Bun, Meat, Cheese. Nowadays, I'll basically try anything.

Matthew Malone Asks
Favorite type of Cake?

Man... y'all hungry?

Pumpkin Cheesecake.

Similar vein to NFSCO, what about the demo of the UE5 UG2 remake dropping this month? Trying that one out too?

I'm down to try it out, but to be perfectly honest, UE5 remakes of a game like Underground 2 disinterest me inherently. Underground 2 is hardly faultless, but it's also not in the realm of games that to me necessitate a total rebuild like Auto Modellista.

Somebody remake that game, it needs one way the hell more than UG2 does. Hopefully somebody could use that UG2 Remake as a base to develop their own original NFS game.

Are there any games that break through your general dislike of their genre to really make an impact on you? Why? My example would be the only turn based RPG I've ever finished being West of Loathing, because it was just so damn funny I kept playing.

Absolutely!

I have a similar distaste for Turn-Based games which aren't 4X strategies, but I really liked Darkest Dungeon, because it bypassed what I normally hate about games like that, where Turn-Based outcomes just feel entirely random with no context. Your Soldier just does or does not learn how to fire a gun at random intervals.

Darkest Dungeon had the context of mercenaries effected by the journey you're putting them on, and in that context, I didn't mind not having total agency over their actions, as that was the game's entire point.

SOMA's probably had the biggest impact on me though. I never got into Fractional's other titles like Amnesia, but man... I still think about that game to this day.

Speaking of Cyberpunk 2077 — what is/would be your post-2.0 playstyle/build? Starting another playthrough after getting Phantom Liberty I personally got fixated on recreating Max Payne/John Wick style gunfights with Sandevistan or the Air Kerenzikov perk and have been successful! Also, still waiting on "The Heart Of Cyberpunk 2077" or a Years Later...

I had playthrough builds in mind since completing the game back at release, and I was kind of dreading my idea of a Redneck Ninja Nomad, but since the game's overhaul... I'm actually kinda looking forward to that.

I thought I already uploaded "The Heart Of Cyberpunk 2077" as a Randomly Mine, but the actual post seems to be a Randomly Mine just called "Heart" that's a trimmed down version of what I wrote, and I can't remember if that's because the Randomly Mine was what led to "The Heart Of Cyberpunk 2077" or if I was trimming down "The Heart Of Cyberpunk 2077" into something shorter?

...Maybe I'll just upload it for safe measure.

What's your opinion on Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree being nominated for GOTY at the Game Awards? Also, what's your personal GOTY?'

Don't really have an opinion on that, haven't played Elden Ring, nor Shadow of the Erdtree, and I don't have any interest in what The Game Awards does.

As for personal GOTY...

Rollerdrome.

...What? I'm catching up!
