    Playing Games vs Watching Games

    I'd say my ratio of time spent playing League of Legends to watching it is 10:1.  I don't see any problem with watching the game as I learn a lot from watching more experienced players.  Still I like to actually play more than anything, It's more enjoyable and its the best way to get better at...

    Game Trailers are Lies

    It's well known that trailers and E3 gameplay shows a lot more. Remember Watch Dogs? The early stuff shown at E3 look amazing. It was quickly set to be one of the Next Gen Console graphics benchmark games. Sadly the release game didn't really look or even feel as good.

    While you grind

    Depends on what I'm grinding for. If it's IP in League, then Music is all I need. The game requires too much focus to multi-task beyond that. Otherwise I like setting up multiple windows and putting on a netflix show or some stream while I play.  Generally I try to avoid grinding in most games...

    Temple Run crosses a billion downloads.

    If it's on the top free list of the app store, everyone will download it. Only reason I downloaded it was because it was in first rank of the store. I didn't really get into it, but I'm not really surprised that the game got a whole lot of downloads. It had some luck to start and snowballed from...

    Games your Dad Plays

    GTA. He loves playing both GTA IV and V every once in a while for a couple hours. I don't spend much time on the Xbox anymore so I don't mind.

    You must take breaks while gaming

    The problem here is definitely the energy drinks. Why the hell would you take that much of an Energy Drink and not have second thoughts? I've never had an advertised "Energy drink" and don't see how a 14 year old needs it to play for a couple extra hours. It's saddening.

    Alienware releases small Alpha PC Gaming Console

    Im glad these "PC Consoles" are becoming a thing. My computer isn't used for much more than gaming,  and that console would have been much cheaper than this build. My only issue with most of these consoles is SteamOS. Steam just came out on Linux not long ago and the games market for the linux...

    [E3 2014] A Level Editor For Hotline Miami 2

    The first game firmly fits into my list of top 3 games. Hotline Miami 1 was ridiculously fun but its lack of levels, with only about 20,  disappointed me, which is why I cannot wait for this next game. A level editor is literally perfect for the game, I just wish it could come out sooner.

    Mirrors Edge 2

    I'm glad they at least showed something constructive and what they actually want from the game. The first game was fun enough to justify at least 3 playthroughs but could have had much more, I hope this game will have that. I'm sure the open world setting will give us what we want.

    HearthStone by Blizzard

    I'll be waiting until they release the expansion until I play it again. The game is fun and very well made but I got bored of it and only play in on the iPad occasionally now. Speaking of that, the mobile port is also excellent. I can't wait for it to come to Android and other platforms.

    Who Won E3?

    Microsoft and Sony both had good game. EA was disappointing, they're Star Wars and Mirrors Edge previews were just developer diaries. If you don't have anything constructive to show, don't show it at all. Ubisoft seemed to blow people away with assassins creed coop for some reason. I'd argue...

    Battlefield: Hardline Beta Is Live

    Honestly this game looks like it might as well have been an expansion pack for BF4, similar to what they did to Bad Co. 2 Vietnam. Would have also preferred Bad Co. 3, but their presentation of this game was very good. I'll be happy to try out the beta.

    Hello from Chicago!

    Hi, Im Xyren. I do a lot of PC gaming nowadays and my most recent obsessions have been Mount and Blade and League of Legends, perhaps too much League.  I'm excited to be here and would love to join in the conversations.
