Just a few things that make me chuckle

I wonder why with fortune teller hotlines they never call me ?

I phoned a wedding dress shop and it was engaged.

Saw a sign saying caution school children so i said to a child be careful

There was a sign saying traffic calming ahead but i was still angry

Someone on a buy and sell forum  just had down Age 3 €10 boys bundle .I think selling kids is wrong though

When i worked at a call center tried to talk someone through computer things i said click on the bottom left of the screen they asked "your left or my left"

Someone worked for cadbury's i thought that was a sweet job

Are season passes more of a risk then the full game ?

When you preorder a game you have a decent idea of what the game is going to be or even if you wait for reviews and then buy it you are usually safe providing you do the research.

Season passes though asking you to pay for almost half the price of the full game just for dlc content which quality can vary wildly.

And to compare one series  that had two polar opposites first was borderlands 2 which had some great season pass dlc decent length lots of new things though i wish the headhunters packs were included. So after that you see Borderlands:Presequel and you think well the previous season pass was good so i will get this one to.

Except you are wrong and the season pass is a lot worse 2 new playable character a limited arena mode and one story addon which is not as good and i can feel people were a bit burned.

Season passes i feel value for money wise some can be very bad and i would always encourage treat them as if you were buying a full game wait till you see what they offer and if the value is bad wait until there on special offer.

What i hate about driving

....other driver's.......that's it.

Technology irks

Here is a list of things in technology that really irk me

1. Battery life or rather lack of especially with mobile phones but also manufacturers seem to prioritize every thing else first.And those new smart watches only seem to last a couple of days.

2. Predictable incremental hardware updates. This does happen a lot with graphics cards/processors/mobile phones/tablets it is like they aim for a percentage improvement rather then the maximum they can and often i would find i would wait a extra year just to merit the cost.

3. Mobile phones can get viruses.....i mean seriously it still boggles my mind. What is next my toaster getting  AI ?

4.Unreliability now i know in the smaller stuff it is actually not to bad but when you get to larger devices such as washing machines/cookers even cars problem is they try to pack so much tech into stuff that really does not need it so leads to more things to go wrong.

5.Screen resolutions which are getting ridiculous mobile phones now have resolutions which to be honest they do not need to get any higher can hardly notice plus you need more power to run them. Also with Tv's now at 4k and 8k is coming as well. And while they may be ok for tv and movies gaming nothing at a moderate price can run them.

What i like to see in a youtube channel and what there creators do

So i have a youtube channel most of my videos are very short and quick to make as it was always a hobby and while i would like to make a living from it i know it is secondary.

But i have been following many many creators over the years covering games, history ,music , films and much more.

Games are probably my main go to and for me i like them to be short to the point. Never been a fan of let's play's there to long and my attention span is not that great and for me to watch the commentary would have to be really funny. I tend to watch reviews ,opinion pieces and guides for games.

While i may watch videos for the content in reality it is the creator of them i tune in for when they speak something just clicks and i value what they say.

But now people breaking into youtube i see as getting harder and harder there are so many people doing it now and to be honest there are some that should be a lot more popular few examples are https://www.youtube.com/user/Yakumo1975 for the awesome battle of the ports game comparisons , https://www.youtube.com/user/cliqist for the crowdfunding game comparisons and https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC87vxf3ss1zxpYt_xaF-AOg just for being likeable down to earth people.

Thing is i have noticed with quite a lot of channels when there small they interact with the audience replying to comments tweets etc but the bigger they get the less they interact.Now i know if you have thousands of comments you are not going to reply to all but i have seen many where they stop all interacting or worse disable comments. I think audience interaction is something that really makes a difference. Yeah you get trolls but you can ignore and lets face it they watched your video.

In the end i think content creators need to have a passion for what they are doing if they are doing it just as a job with no passion it will come through to people and i try to champion the people who i believe deserve it.

Why reviews should get rid of the scores

I have never been a fan of scores for reviewing games reason being i think games just fall into these categories.

Excellent : One of the best games of its type with little flaws.

Good: Has a few flaws keeping it from excellent.

Good if you like that type of game : Would often be for sports  or specific genres that while doing it fine is nothing new.

Average: It has some good things has some bad will pass the time but probably will never play again

Bad : Basically anything that is below average where the bad outweighs any good

And of course there are variations on that such as Bugged: Need to wait for patches before buying. And one play though that regardless of quality is only good for one play through.

I just think that gives more use then a simple score would

Publishers have access to a gold mine that there not using

So capcom been in business for many years they have a outstanding back catalogue of games that are just ripe for a retro collection. And they do not have to be remastered just released can you imagine a complete megaman collection release ? or what about the arcade games they made that never got a console release (though granted many were licensed so i doubt they could release them) but there are so many.

Or sega with all the issues they have i reckon a lot of people would love a panzer dragoon collection

Often i would give out with publishers being lazy with rushed rereleases but often it is usually because the games they release are still to recent but i would love the option to play games that either never got released are so long ago would give them a new lease of life

If they could be remastered even better
