When the world gets too complicated, satirical video games are the perfect way to escape reality and explore the absurdity of life through parody.
You think playing a game in VR is challenging?
The other day my nephew was playing some games with his VR headset. He asked me if I wanted a turn and said I would. Naturally, I was hopeless, and he commenced ridiculing me. To defend my reputation I launched into the tried and true “Well when I was your age, we didn’t have fancy games like that!”
The 10 Most Annoying Video Game Enemies
What makes a video game enemy annoying? The endless amount of them, of course. Or maybe they're durable, irritating bullet sponges or maybe their hitboxes are super finnicky. They can easily turn a great game into a tedious experience and severely affect your overall opinion of the game. It isn't worth the time invested if you're just going to be rewarded with more annoying as hell creatures to kill.
Gamer Who Dominated Post Apocalyptic MMORPGs Utterly Crushed by Actual Post Apocalyptic World
Long time post apocalyptic MMORPG gamer Ted Stephens was utterly crushed by the post apocalyptic world he found himself in shortly after a surprise thermonuclear war erupted between the United States and Russia, dying in just under 37 minutes after a beam supporting the roof of the basement where he spent most of his days and nights playing post apocalyptic MMORPGs collapsed. Ted’s skull was split open by the large steel beam killing him instantly and ending his first ever foray into an actual post apocalyptic world in near record time. His fast and brutal death in the actual post apocalypse stood in stark contrast to his utter domination of post apocalyptic MMORPGs including Tom Clancy’s The Division, where the player’s goal is to survive in the after-pandemic world, Fallout 76, an online sequel of the famous nuclear-themed game, and Secret World Legends. The creators of those MMORPG’s could not be reached for comment as they were currently in pitched battles with radiation scarred cannibals for control of the worlds rapidly dwindling supply of clean water.

My first bump in the road as a streamer has been presented with a non-working computer. My MacBook that I received while attending university will not start up along with a slew of other things. I am sending it into the shop but as my wife's photography business needs a reliable computer I will be donating it to her business of Hunny-Lens photography. See Stadia had this free to play weekend with Marvel's Avengers and I was really looking forward to donning one of my favorite heroes masks and suiting up. Excelsior as our old man Stan would say, but with great power comes great responsibility and I now was tasked with the responsibility to see why my computer is not working. I was hoping to get it up and running before the weekend came so I decided to “Face front, true believers!”, as

The Nerd HabitPublished 3 years ago in GamersIt's Not About You
Yes, I am well aware of the trend of writing rants about regressive politics and climate change and pandemics, and the other life and death things plaguing (see what I did there?) us all these days. I've certainly written enough of them to be aware. But I'm tired of these topics, and I'm taking a break to write about something rather less dire (though probably related, in a late-stage capitalism, entitled asshattery sort of way).
Jenn KirklandPublished 3 years ago in GamersWhat if BitLife was Real Life?
I am addicted to BitLife. It is the only thing that keeps me going in life, I wake up every day and hope that the developers have pulled an all-nighter just trying to get a new update out to the BitJunkies (my nickname for my fellow BitLife addicts).
Hyper HomoPublished 4 years ago in Gamers(A Joke) A Short Thesis on Why Hostage Situations Should Not Be in 'Rainbow Six Siege'
Hostage situations in Rainbow Six Siege provide players with the ability to simulate what happens during real life hostage crises. It also allows players to test their tactical skills and awareness as they must down enemy players while protecting/rescuing the hostage, and at the same time trying not to injure the hostage. While this is competitive and fun to play, there are some good reasons as to why it should not be in the game.
'Monsieur De Tetris' - The Story Never Told
Monsieur de Tetris - Director’s Cut The novelized version is at the end. Background Monsieur de Tetris was a school assignment, but for director and producer Joshua Cheon, it was so much more than just a student film. That’s me. There were many obstacles that stood in the way of getting a good result, but despite these odds, I knew I could get a good result. This was because I’m confident in everything I do. Even when I’m not sure about what I’m doing, I simply tell myself that I am, and voila.

Feminine clothing is a hot-button issue... well, practically in all topical conversations. But this isn't an article to discuss sexism, though it might be mentioned once or twice. No, what I'm talking about is the sheer impracticality of some clothing choices, with both female AND male characters.
Should 'Gaming Addiction' Be Classed as a Mental Disorder?
So recently at school, we've been learning about Gaming Addiction– which has recently been classed as a mental disorder. It got me thinking, should it really be classed as a disorder or is that unfair?
