Five Must-Play Nintendo Switch Games Under $20
I'm just going to come out and say what everyone is thinking; 2017 is the year of Nintendo. While the Nintendo Switch has done a fantastic job delivering on its promise of a hybrid system, the games--which were few and far between on the Wii U--have followed.

Betrayal at the House on the Hill: One of my All-Time Favourite Board Games!
Betrayal at the House on the Hill — oh, what a game! I enjoy playing this game everytime I play it! It consists of deck "room" tiles, some being for the upper floor, some for the ground floor and some for the basement. Players build their own haunted house whilst coming across events, items, or omens. Events take place inside that designated room, which require you to roll some dice, and what happens next corresponds to your die result; sometimes good, sometimes bad. Should you reveal a room tile with the item symbol on it, you acquire the item you first reveal from the top of the item deck. Omens are where it gets tricky. If you reveal an omen, reveal the first card you pick up from the omen, and then you must roll six dice. The result must be equal to or higher than the amount of omens in play. If you fail to get that, then the haunt starts. I will go into a bit more detail about the haunt further down in the article.

Death of a Dynasty
It was what everyone considered to be unthinkable. A repeat of last year's World Championship final. Another win to be chalked up by the perennial Korean powerhouse that is SK Telecom T1. It all seemed to be playing out as per the last few years in a dynasty of dominance that was unrelenting and absolute. Even with a menagerie of uncharacteristic mistakes and a few gaps in the armor becoming more obvious through the Quarter and Semi-finals, SKT looked set to take their third consecutive and fourth overall World Championship on stage at the Bird's Nest in Beijing. I certainly had no reason to doubt them... until we entered Summoner's Rift for game one.

Why Fallout New Vegas Is STILL the Best Fallout Game to Date
Though Fallout 4 features an updated way to explore the wastelands nothing beats the story and wholesome content of the original series that compels even the newest Fallout fans to explore even further into the Mojave and beyond.

New Games Vs. Old Computers
Up until pretty recently, I was always on the bleeding edge of technology, barely keeping up and definitely not meeting the cutting edge. I'd buy a game that looked fun to play, turn down all the settings ingame, and realize I was still getting low frames that caused the game to be jerky and mostly unplayable. Eventually I got sick of this, and started messing around trying to figure out a way to make these games work. There had to be a way, right? Sometimes, no. There are some games that just can't be played on some machines. If you have 4GB RAM, an integrated GFX card, and an Intel Pentium processor, don't expect to be playing Rust or Ark. Still, you should be able to play a lot of games that are just a few years old on a machine like that. Here's a few things to try, but keep in mind these are mostly tricks for Windows users, since Windows is the largest-supported gaming platform out right now:
