A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I wanted to try out Dune for the first time and it just didn't power on. I am not ok. I took a look inside and cleaned it, but there's no obvious loose connections. Today is a sad day for me

I'm knocking on wood for my Xbox One. 15 years and still going, gaming on it almost everyday besides for a few months every few years when I forget I like to play video games. Not to rub salt into the wound

I was actually thinking about buying an Xbox One for Halo Wars 2. Surely it's not 15 years old yet?? I still think of it as the new Xbox since I own a 360...

OK I rounded the number up its actually 12 years old. But soon... If I'm lucky

The original Xbox? I think Those have a super capacitor that ends up leaking on the motherboard and should be replaced. I still didn’t get around to doing it on mine, but it’s on my mind that I need to do that.
