Mods are Cheat Codes

Gaming Couch

Episode 45 of Gaming Couch!
Mods are cheat codes. Change my mind.

That's not in a bad way. In fact it is great. We have a new way of playing and experiencing games in today's world. No longer are we limited to what whacky things the developers put into the game. Now, we are able to MAKE those whacky things happen and develop a community around it. The moding community is huge with whole websites dedicated to just modding PC games. Like GameFAQs with cheat codes in the past we got Nexus Mods now to let use downloaded and mess with our favorite PC games. Sure, the hush-hush whispers of gaming secrets and manuals of old days are no longer needed due to this rise of information sharing online. It is sad to see that day and age go. However, it is a sign of progress. It is a sign that developers are comfortable with people tweaking their creations for new ways of playing. It is a sign that more and more people are developing the skills needed to make the next great game. All in all, mods are good. I reminisce about the old days a bit in the episode. About sharing secrets and finding out which were real and which were fake. Even though I miss them it's a great time to be alive and able to tweak GTA so I can walk around as Jesus and hulk punch cars.
Sorry if my voice became a little rough during the episode. For reasons unknown my voice just suddenly dried out and got rough while recording.
And to everyone, have a great week. Summer is here and god damn I hate humidity.
