Always distracted by the 9-foot baskets in the school gym. Imagine myself pulling off some sick jams: one-handed barely getting over the rim; two-handed, not enough lift, pulled hamstring

No NBA basketball to watch as all the Americans are doing drugs with their cousins, as is my understanding of their culture

No need to mess with the gameplay. Just make it 10% prettier and stick it on modern consoles

I’d like to suggest pushing it back to 2029 and focussing on an Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune remake instead. Thanks

Bought a used Xbox 360 for cheap in early 2009, on the way back home from the pub. Akiba Sofmap, back when it was wall-to-wall games, just before closing. It was the Lost Planet bundle and I grabbed Dead Rising too. Lasted around 2yrs before it RROD’d, which was longer than expected!
Hoihoi, it's the Xbox 360's 20th birthday today! Happy birthday, one of my favourite and personally important consoles in my gaming life.
Yes, I too fought the RROD.
But yeah, the 360 was my gateway to that generation of gaming. Mirror's Edge, Mass Effect, Fallout 3, Assassin's Creed II...
