What Is with the Video Game Industry's Ellen Page Fetish?
I've always been a huge video game snob. I've followed the industry for years; while other 12-year-olds were outside, skating around parking lots, I was inside, busy reading the latest news from E3 press conferences. I'd like to think that one day, maybe 20 years from now, when a bunch of French dudes sit around and develop the video game equivalent of auteur theory and make it cool to name drop famous game designers in casual conversation (like Hideo Kojima, Warren Spector, Shigeru Miyamoto and Peter Molyneux), I'll be vindicated for all of the time I've spent glued to my screen and following the industry.

What Does EA's Shutdown of Visceral Mean for Former 'Uncharted' Director Amy Hennig?
From the city streets in Miami to the outer reaches of space of the USG Ishimura, Visceral Games has taken us on amazing journey's that have remained unforeseen by many. Their trek across the stars with Dead Space has been fascinating as players were given a new experience by forcing players to approach combat in new angles by removing limbs from their foes. While in Miami, players would work to take down criminal organizations while arresting those they can, and putting the law into action with Battlefield: Hardline.

A List of All Pro 'League of Legends' Players Suspended For Toxic Behavior
We've all done it, we've cussed out our team mates, we've verbally abused someone in some way, and in ways it has come back to bite us. Unfortunately, it's a habit we should all work on breaking, but for pro players, that isn't something so easily well done once the damage has been done. League of Legends is also one of the fastest growing eSport titles out there as more-and-more players keep coming in to play within its pro-circuits.

Have you ever been in the middle of a game and a character appears and you swear you have heard the voice before? Well, that's because you probably have before. In gaming, it's not uncommon for a voice actor to 'portray' numerous characters through a variety of games as well as in animated shows and anime voice-overs. Sometimes the voice actor is someone you would never know, and other times you find out that a well known Hollywood actor is the voice behind the game character. Here are a few actors that you may have not realized also voiced game characters:

Best Video Game Journalists Who Know Their Stuff
Video games have had critics from around the time "Pong" was created in the 1970s to right now. Journalism is important — it helps gamers decide which games are worth buying and which games are worth leaving on the shelf. It helps gamers who bought the game look at the in-game problems more analytically, and solve issues if they are stuck. Journalists are a gamers best friend, because they explore game design, play, and culture. Finally, it helps the gaming industry grow as a whole: labelling the guts of a game as either "good" or "bad" so that next year's games can be better.

The following video is Felix Kjellberg's most popular video. It is filled with the typical humor this YouTuber incorporates into his videos and community oriented challenges. He is both offensive and charismatic, making jokes on subjects very inappropriate in a face to face conversation.

I Am Alive (Emotionally) Because of the Game Grumps
I have been following the Game Grumps since just after their inception back in the day. My sister came up to me one day and was like, and this is not a direct quote, "These guys are cool. They're very funny. You should watch them." I did, religiously, every day for the last five years. Well, I tried to at least. Some days were harder than others. We all have times that are trying, that test our will to get up in the morning, and over the past two years, I've had a few.
