In Defense of 'Pokémon' Genwunners
As described by Know Your Meme, "Genwunner is a pejorative term used within the Pokémon fandom to describe those who only appreciate the first-generation of video games for GameBoy, namely Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow, and tend to bash the sequel titles and monsters in the franchise." Under this definition, I wouldn't be a genwunner because even though I think the first generation of Pokémon is the best, I still have an appreciation for the other games. However, even though I haven't drawn the ire of the Pokémon fandom I disagree, with the notion that it is unreasonable to prefer the first-generation over the others.

Mohamed MahmoudPublished 4 days ago in GamersImproving as a Solo Sniper in Tarkov
As someone who enjoys using bolt-actions and generally longer ranged weapons a little too much in Tarkov, I have always tried to get better at using these weapons. They are by far the most difficult type of weapon to use. You don't get the luxury of full auto, and you need to make sure that your aim is true. It’s a great deal of pressure in a game where people are going to outpace you with rifles and SMGs. But again, as someone who really enjoys this playstyle, I’ve come to terms with the downsides of these weapons and embrace their flaws as to what makes them so compelling to use in the first place. If it's one thing veteran players of Tarkov love to do, is self-handicapping themselves in a plethora of ways. And while I wouldn’t say using a bolt-action is the same as doing a hardcore account, it's as close as you can get without adding rules or restrictions on how you play the game. Regardless, these weapons are hard to use; I enjoy using them, so I’ve learned a few things over the hundreds of hours I’ve put into bolt-actions. So, I’d like to share some of those harsh lessons of making mistakes, dying and learning from them. These are especially important if you are a solo player. With no one around you for support, being a sniper is scary, but it doesn’t always have to be.
What Escape From Tarkov 1.0's Full Release Might Look Like
BSG recently released the first part in a multitude of videos for their own official beginner's guide for Escape From Tarkov. It’s a good watch, and I recommend you check it out even if you’ve been on the game for years. It’s nice to hear the voice actor for USEC 3, Forty-One going over the basics of the game. So shoutouts to him. But after watching that video and knowing that it’s going to turn into a series of beginner friendly videos, it made me reflect on the entire game as a whole and where 1.0 might be in the pipeline. What features may or may not be added. How the game might start and how it will end. Because regardless of the in-between sections of the game, the goal is still to get to Terminal and actually escape from the area of Tarkov. That’s always been the end goal for anyone playing Tarkov, and it seems like that hasn’t changed over the years. But in regard to the rest of the game, what can we expect for new introductions for weapons, gear, mechanics and the other important aspects like that? Well, that’s what I wanted to go over today; just having a conversation about the potential of 1.0 being around the corner and how much different Tarkov might look or might now look. Because while we know for certain some elements still haven’t been added that BSG wants, there might be others that can’t make the cut and are saved post official launch of the game. Other than that, we still don’t have an exact release date. We’ve heard the phrase “this year” for a couple of years now, and maybe 2024 will finally be that year. I’m just as if not more curious than you about Tarkov’s future and what it looks like, especially how our account and experience with Tarkov will start once we go full 1.0
What Happened to the 'Mega Man' Series?
With its long history and many games, the Mega Man series may at first appear to be a wildly successful franchise up there with Mario and Sonic. However, despite its recognition, the Mega Man series only has a few games that sold more than one million copies worldwide. Even the best-selling Mega Man game Mega Man 2 only sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide. This fact made me wonder how the Mega Man series could be so well known but rarely be the success one would expect from a long-running franchise.
'Medabots' Had Games!?
Medabots is one of my favorite anime of all time. However, until recently, I hadn't played the games the anime was adapting. Around the time of its English broadcast, the only game I was aware of was Medabots: Metabee & Rokusho for Game Boy Advance. As a kid, I refused to play it because of its heavy use of motion tweening for battle animations. Unbeknownst to me, Medabots: Metabee & Rokusho was a remake of Medarot 2, so in other words, there were other games. Two decades later, I discovered that not only were there more games, but the Medabots fan community was in the process of translating them. Thankfully, most Medarot games are Game Boy and Game Boy Color titles with less off-putting battle animations.

BlazedLith GamingPublished 18 days ago in GamersUnderstanding the Mindset of a “Good” Tarkov Player
We’ve spoken about this topic before; many months ago. About what makes a “good” Tarkov player. And today, I wanted to make sort of a follow-up video to that idea. Previously, we talked about how aim, knowledge of the maps, and adaptability were cornerstone components to making a lethal and effective Tarkov player. And while those are definitely still important, upon reflection of the idea of what is a “good” Tarkov player, there have been other ideas and components that I’ve taken into more serious consideration that would arguably be sometimes more important that those previously talked about ideas. I’m sure most of us that play the game also watch others play it. And especially those that are prominent and skillful at the game. You watch their gameplay, and you can sometimes pick up on little ticks or muscle memory from doing the same thing thousands of times before. What they end up using a majority of the time, and how they bend and stretch the game to play more under their own rules. There is a lot more nuance with these ideas, and it isn’t as concrete and simple as the previous video. It boils down to more of a mentality thing, as well as repetition of playing the game a certain way. And that’s what I wanted to discuss today: the smaller, finer details of playing Tarkov and what aspects you can focus on once you have the basics and fundamentals down to really grow as a player. Again, it’s not as cut and dry, nor pretty as giving someone three tips and they immediately improve. Tarkov, and we’ve said this before many times, is a complex game with a ton of layers, situations, moments where one idea might apply but not the other. It’s important to understand the why as much as the how. So, let’s try and understand what goes into the mindset of a good Tarkov player.
