I am still working on completing my Game Room Ver. 5.0 and this is on top of getting the whole house ready, mind you. The new Game Room is smaller, thus similar to what I had to do with the previous 2 versions, a bunch of my gaming stuff are being stored elsewhere. All of my Hatsune Miku figurines have found themselves being moved to the master bedroom, right next to the bed.
There are a lot of meme and copypasta user reviews on Steam. As I have mentioned previously, the Steam review section is probably the worst part of the service, compared to the dignity and professionalism accomplished on Epic Games. A majority of these reviews, though stupid, are mostly there to garner immediate attention from others in an attempt to achieve some kind of 5-second Internet fame or accumulate Steam Points from the gullible. Sometimes, though, you find something more sinister. Like the one below:
I know, it has been a while. You could probably guess what happened during the majority of my absence last month - Yes, I was moving to my new home. As stated previously, it was a long, arduous process. I got to my new home around the middle of the month. The delivery of my belongings was delayed by a week or so. I wanted to write and post some updates here back then, but I also discovered that the website was heavily attacked by some bot. I contacted Google multiple times, but I didn't get any assistance, so I turned off public access to the site. The bot seemed to calm down now so I thought I would sneak in a post and monitor the situation. So yes, I survived the move, though I am still physically and emotionally exhausted, and I have been working on Game Room Ver. 5.0 slowly but surely as soon as I got my greedy little hands on my gaming stuff again.
If you are a gamer who is a current Amazon Prime member, I am sure you must have noticed that Amazon has been releasing a lot of SNK games for free through their Prime Gaming program. For those who are not familiar with this, basically, you get to claim a number of free games every month that you get to keep in perpetuity even if you decided to cancel your Amazon Prime membership at a later time - unlike rental programs like PSN Plus and the likes. These SNK games I mentioned earlier are titles from the golden era of the arcades and though you can get most of them in some form or another out there in the gaming marketplace, it's nice to see that Prime Gaming is seemingly focused in trying to get all of these titles available through their digital distribution service, for free nonetheless for Amazon prime users.
Sure, the Point system offered on Steam is cute and fun. But what it's missing is real monetary value. Of course the Steamoroids will always find something wrong with any other digital distribution platform on the Personal Computer, but Epic Games is once again showing us that they can be a step more advanced than Valve's digital storefront. Today, they introduced the Epic Rewards program alongside their month-long Mega Sale a.k.a. we really, really want you to spend money event - and I have seen some truly incredible discounts!
