Gaming News for the Week of July 12, 2018
Top Story: 'Fortnite' season five starts today and Epic went hard to promote it. The time travel-themed season of Fortnite popped off this morning after a week of mysterious teasers, both in-game and in the real world. Last week, a massive rocket launched causing massive rifts in the map's sky, which kicked off a slew of minor map changes and hints across social media about what season five would comprise of. In the real world, though, the iconic llama piñatas began appearing all over Europe. There are seven in total in cities like Paris, Warsaw, and two in London. As of recording, it is unclear what significance the llamas have and if anything about them changed with the arrival of season five.

Pay-To-Win, Season Passes, and In-Game Purchases; The Exploitation of Modern Gaming
Video games are loved by millions across the world, for one reason or another: they captivate the imagination on a scale that matches and surpasses the film industry, they immerse like no other entertainment medium on the market, or they give the opportunity to play as a space marine shooting demons from hell—who doesn't want that? Many millions more have interacted with them at some other level besides playing as well; be it hardcore gamers who have owned (or still own) several consoles and have no intentions of putting the controller down, or a parent watching their child smash open their first wumpa crate in Crash Bandicoot. Video games have pioneered fun for players for decades now and the medium has seen genuinely incredible growth. However, as with any line of business, the game industry has changed drastically since its inception, and subsequently, so has modern gaming itself.

ARGs: When Games Meet Real Life
Some may remember last year when Blizzard first hinted about their newest hero at the time. On May 26, 2016, a newspaper appeared on Overwatch's Dorado map, asking a simple question: "Who is Sombra?" At the time, most thought nothing of the message, outside of a potential new hero. But when Ana's origin video was released, everything changed.

Video Game Focus: HUSK Is An Eastern European Take On Silent Hill
Shivercliff is the name of a fictional town in the video game title HUSK. Shivercliff - the name alone sends shivers down the bones. It sends a sudden chillness along your spinal cord. But a poster to the game comes with a utterly contrasting caption “a place you’ll never want to leave…" A 90s town filled with luminous street lights, abandoned gas pumps, deformed NPCs and newspapers strewn like a Billie Jean music video doesn't really compliment the caption. It really sends a strong macabre vibe which loosely translates to "a place you’ll never want to visit ever" or "a place you'll never escape in the first place!"

Everyone's Freaking out over UEFA Euro 2016, and I'm Just Playing 'Rocket League'
Apparently Portugal just became the champions of UEFA Euro 2016. At least that's what Twitter is telling me. I don't follow any sports, especially soccer, which is funny since that's what one of my favorite games at the moment is all about. Well, soccer and rocket powered cars.
