2020 is a year of the rat. It’s been an inauspicious year due to the coronavirus outbreak, but at least some good things came from the gaming world. The release of new first-person shooter (FPS) games like DOOM Eternal, Half-Life: Alyx, and Call of Duty: Warzone foreshadows a year with great releases to c
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 counter-strike 2 tournaments 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
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
Given the complex systems in Fallout: New Vegas , it’s easy to see why the added benefit of a keyboard and mouse is so important here. Of course, another reason to use this control scheme is that most mods don’t really support controllers either, which is a bum
Sometimes saying less is better in a match of Rainbow Six: Siege . Snakes like to work alone, which can get in the way of being an effective Rainbow Six: Siege player. Regardless, they work smartly to achieve goals and seldom f
One particular map, called “ka_kilbox,” had quite a number of houses with slanted but extremely slippery roofs. At some point after hours of sliding, Chris eventually landed on a ladder. He took this particular roof and transformed it as one of the first ramps in what would be called “surf_the-gap” and birthed the minig
In this regard, gambling on Twitch has long been a source of disagreement, with some of the largest streamers on the platform leaning heavily into controversial sponsored gambling streams. This long-standing issue recently reached a boiling point, leading to most forms of gambling content being banned from the site, but the previous gambling-related incidents that led to this point should not be igno
As the name implies, this weapon skin features the iconic Greek gorgon . Players with this skin will find Medusa’s green face on one side of the AWP’s stock — with the back of her head present on the other side. The purple snakes that make up her hair are sent out in tendrils along the weapon’s b
With the beginning of December comes two things: the end of overwhelming amount holiday video game releases and the holidays itself, which effectively means that gamers everywhere will be spending time catching up on their backlog. There are still a handful of games releasing this month, but it is nothing at all like what we’ve seen in October and November and because of this the Game Guide has made a significant change for this edition – we will not only be detailing the games we’ll be playing this month but the ones we’re looking forward to next year as w
This popular cosmetic fetches high prices. On the Steam market, it sold for $1517.38 on December 6th. Yet the weapon sells for much more on third party websites, where some users have paid over $13000 for the s
This month I’m looking forward to Mario Kart 7 . It’s just one of those games that you can pickup and play whenever you want, and I plan on playing it throughout December and well into the new year. Since some folks are talking about what they’re excited for next year, I’d have to say Halo 4 and Bioshock: Infinite are on the top of my l
With Black Friday over, I can now say that I’m looking forward to stabbing into Assassin’s Creed: Revelations and Rayman: Origins which I picked up during the holiday hustle. I’m also almost finished with my second play through of Deus Ex: Human Revolution which is showing me just how many different ways there are to go through that game. I’m also going to grind out some more trophies for Uncharted 3 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Reco
Following intense subsequent pressure from the community on what was already a longstanding controversy, Twitch has banned most forms of gambling from the service , with the aforementioned crypto-gambling giant Stake.com being a named company that is no longer welcome on the streaming platform. This is enormous news for the company considering just how popular gambling streams are on the service, with streamers and fans on both sides of the argument continuing in intense deb
