cvideo games that require external hardware

Well now, let’s talk about these cvideo games, the kind that need extra stuff, you know, not just the game itself. It’s like buyin’ a cow but then you need a whole barn and pasture for it, ain’t it?

What kinda games are we talkin’ about?

Some of these games, they’re too big, too fancy for just the regular box you buy at the store. They need extra space, like a big ol’ shed for all yer junk. We ain’t talkin’ ’bout yer grandma’s Tetris no more. These newfangled things, they got so many pictures and sounds, they need a place to put it all.

So, you got this thing called an “external hard drive”. Sounds fancy, but it’s just a box to keep all the game stuff. You plug it in, and boom, more space. It’s like addin’ another room to yer house, but for games. Some folks call ’em SSDs, some call ’em HDDs, sounds like a bunch of gibberish to me, but they all do the same thing – hold yer game stuff.

Why do these games need all this extra stuff?

Like I said, these games are big. Big pictures, big sounds, big everything. And they gotta load fast too. Nobody wants to sit around waitin’ all day for the game to start, right? So, these extra hard drives, they help the game run faster, load quicker. It’s like havin’ a faster horse to pull yer wagon. You get where yer goin’ quicker.

• Bigger Games: Them games are gettin’ bigger and bigger every day, like a weed in the garden.
• Faster Loading: Nobody got time to wait. These hard drives make the game load faster.
• More Stuff: All the fancy pictures and sounds take up space, like a whole attic full of old clothes.

Do all games need this extra stuff?

Nah, not all of ’em. Them little games, the simple ones, they’re fine on their own. But them big, fancy ones, the ones with all the bells and whistles, they need the extra help. It’s like the difference between plantin’ a little flower and plantin’ a whole field of corn. The corn needs more space, more water, more everything.

Now, you gotta make sure your game thingy, whatchamacallit, the console or the computer, can use these extra hard drives. Most of ’em do, but it’s always good to check. Don’t wanna buy a new horse if you ain’t got no stable for it, right?

What kinda external hard drives are there?

Well now, that’s where it gets confusing. You got these SSDs, and they’re faster, like a racehorse. And you got these HDDs, and they’re bigger, like a Clydesdale. And then you got these other ones, NVMe, sounds like somethin’ from the space age. But they all do the same thing, just some do it faster, and some can hold more stuff.

And then there’s the cords, the wires you use to plug it all in. Gotta get the right one, or it won’t work right. Like tryin’ to milk a cow with a spoon, ain’t gonna work. Gotta get the right tools for the job.

So, which one should I get?

Well, that depends on what you need. If you got a lot of games, you need a big one. If you want the games to load fast, you need a fast one. And if you ain’t got a lot of money, you gotta get what you can afford. It’s like buyin’ a car, gotta figure out what you need and what you can pay for.

Can I really play games right off this extra hard drive thingy?

Most times, yeah. You plug it in, and the game plays right off it. It’s like havin’ a whole ‘nother game machine, but just for the games. But sometimes, it depends on the game thingy you got, that console or computer. Some of ’em like it one way, some like it another way. It’s like makin’ gravy, some folks like it thick, some like it thin.

Can I use these hard drives for other stuff too?

Sure can. You can put pictures on ’em, movies, whatever you want. It’s just a big storage box, like a digital attic. You can put all yer junk in there, not just games. It’s handy to have around, like a good screwdriver.

So, is it worth gettin’ one of these external hard drives?

Well, if you play a lot of them big, fancy games, then yeah, I reckon it is. It’ll make yer life easier, and yer games will run better. But if you just play them little games, then maybe you don’t need it. It’s like buyin’ a tractor, if you ain’t got a big farm, you don’t need it. But if you got a lot of games, then an external hard drive is a good thing to have. Just make sure you got the right cords and that your game thingy can handle it. And don’t forget to compare prices, you don’t want to pay more than you have to. A penny saved is a penny earned, that’s what my old pappy used to say.
