This December my gaming focus is squarely centered on the PS3 versions Skyrim and Assassin's Creed: Revelations . I still have yet to give Arkham City a whirl, but it is on my short list to play. On the PC front I'm still playing Deux Ex: Human Revolution . What can I say? I'm a perfectionist, and it's a great game. Racing games have never been my forte but Forza Motorsport 4 will be the next game I purchase as I try to broaden my horizons a bit. However, I'm still itching with anticipation for Mass Effect 3 , and wonder how many play-throughs of ME2 I can manage before I get my conditions “just right.” Stay safe during the holidays Rant
It's worth mentioning that not every player is a fan of Nuke. In fact, a large number of people in the CS: GO community hate the map with a passion. Nuke doesn't have a lot of surprises now that CS: GO' s developers removed the storage room at B. Everything is laid out very neatly, and there should be few surprises when playing Nuke. If you aren't good with a sniper, you may not be a good Nuke player. Assault rifles are effective, but sniper rifles can get you easy uncontested ki
Proper matchmaking in online games is difficult to do well, put simply, but recent patent filings by Valve give users a peek behind the curtain at the various data miners at work in establishing the Trust Factor in CS:GO . There is quite a bit of information in these patents that range from 2018 to 2020 , and of course, not all of the point below can be said to contribute to an individual’s Trust Factor, though in reality most probably are to some deg
December is the month that bats clean up for gamers, allowing us a chance to catch up on all the titles we missed this year. Among those titles I missed are Skyrim, Skyward Sword, and Battlefield 3 , so I hope to give those a go over the break. On top of that I'm also looking forward to finally procuring a 3DS and trying out Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 . And for my family fun I'm looking forward to checking out Scene It? Movie Night . Happy Holidays Rant
December means three things for me: KOTOR , KOTOR 2 and The Old Republic, plus a possible co-op playthrough of Resistance 3 . I'm also hoping to catch up on some games I've missed such as Shadows of the Damned and Yakuza 4 , and this before I get to all of the games I bought off of Steam's Fall S
Over the last few weeks, many people simultaneously came forward accusing ItsSliker of defrauding them out of significant amounts of money. Contacting friends, other streamers, and long-term fans, Sliker asked for various sums of money over the course of several years under the false pretenses of a locked bank account and the desire to pay the loan back with interest. Never paying back any of his victims, Sliker would instead use the funds to extend what he described as a serious gambling addiction, in which he fell into a self-destructive spi
Counter Strike: Global Offensive has often been a source of gambling-related controversy, and so it is no wonder that this inevitably translated over to the Twitch platform. CSGO's case unboxing system provides a small opportunity for players to possibly receive items worth huge amounts of real-world money and was one of the first titles to really spark widespread discourse surrounding this kind of “soft gambling” that was going unchecked within the video game indus
With many other massively popular streamers such as xQc and Trainwreckstv receiving similar deals, many claim that this kind of unchecked promotion of gambling services from people who are receiving huge sponsorship deals can be harmful to audiences, while also questioning the credibility of the showcased win rates of the gambling sites on stream. This kind of gambling was present on Twitch for several years, being a lingering controversy that was only recently addressed thanks to what is likely Twitch's most high-profile gambling controversy to d
Agency is a map that is set in a commercial penthouse at the top of a skyscraper building. Rescuing the hostages successfully is such a good feeling in Agency. Extraction takes place on the helipad where hostages are presumably airlifted away from the map. Of Counter-Strike 2 esports: Global Offensive's new maps, Agency stands out for being one of the b
No gun can shut down entire sections of a map or take over a game quite like the AWP can. The only gun that is able to one shot to the body, the AWP is expensive, but it is worth every dollar spent. Every team will have an AWPer whenever possible on both sides. The amount of map control the AWP provides is uncontestable. Enemy players need to know where the opposing AWPer is at all times and strategies need to be made to combat them. Peeking into an AWP without help is a near-death sente
