Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition Review

Image
  Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition looks like a Diablo style game, but it is not a hack’n’slash dungeon crawler. Instead Pillars is an overhead semi-turn-based game. It has some dungeon crawling but you also visit towns and interact with a lot of NPCs. Pillars feels very much like an old school PC game and not so much a Nintendo Switch game. Let’s talk about the good aspects of Pillars of Eternity first. The voice acting in Pillars was unexpected and also pretty good. I like the game’s graphics for the most part. They are a bit dark, but the game looks similar to one of the classic Diablo games. Even its static drawn cutscenes are not bad. And control wise, Pillars of Eternity works well. Perhaps my favorite aspect of the game is all the customization at the beginning of the game. You fully create your character: the look, background, clothes, etc and there are multiple options that really make your character unique. Its a lot of fun to see what type of character you can cr...

Bitcasino – How safe is it?

Image
  Bitcasino is a casino that operates solely using bitcoin. Whilst you are able to deposit money from a credit card, only bitcoin can be used during gameplay to place wagers. All winnings are also paid to players in bitcoin. After reading this post, be sure to check out https://www.manekinekocasino.com/bitcasino-review/ too! Of course, playing on a casino that operates with only bitcoin comes with both advantages and disadvantages. For example, you can’t withdraw money straight into your regular bank account as it must be withdrawn in bitcoin. This means that if you’re looking to make a fast win and get the money into your bank account as quickly as possible, you wouldn’t be able to do so directly from Bitcasino. However, there are also many advantages to playing on a bitcoin-operated casino. Since winnings can only be withdrawn in bitcoin value, they must be sold as bitcoin before you can obtain the value as real currency and not cryptocurrency. The transferring of bitcoin is m...

Indie World Showcase - 8.19.2019 (Video)

Image
  The Indie World Showcase for 8.19.2019 was just ok. I suppose my expectations were too high. I think my expectations are always too high about all of these Directs, Indie or otherwise. So I was expecting some pretty big surprises and we didn’t get that. Ori and the Blind Forest wasn’t a big surprise because just about everybody was expecting this game to be revealed sooner or later for the Switch. There was even a recent rumor that said the game would be revealed in this Indie World Showcase. So while its great that it was true, I would’ve been nice to have a surprise… The rest of the games shown in the Showcase varied from “that looks good” to “that looks terrible”. I was impressed by The Touryst and Cat Quest 2 the most. I also think that Spirtfarer continues to look awesome. What did you think of the Indie World Showcase today? What was your favorite game shown?   This article first appeared on: source

Exploring Best Dragon Ball And Pokemon oldies

Image
  We reviewed two anime-based game series – Dragon Ball and Pokemon, and selected our favorite GameBoy Advance ROMS on RomsMania .

The Old Man's Guide to VTubers

Image
  At the grizzled old age of 32 sometimes I need help understanding the basics of the modern world. What is a dab? Why is TikTok a thing when it’s so obviously not a thing? And today, what the hell are vtubers? For a while now, there’s been a lot on the internet that I haven’t understood. Frankly, it’s only been getting worse. As someone who grew up in 90s chatrooms, I used to get the wild west nature of the internet. Extreme pornography and violence were just the risks you took for daring to go onto a kid’s chatroom. And who doesn’t fondly remember worryingly listening out for the sound of sirens after your Limewire download of every song from the Simpsons soundtrack turned out specifically not to be every song from the Simpsons soundtrack. I’m still worried they’re going to track me down 20+ years later. These days, youngsters don’t have time to wait 4 minutes for every megabyte of nudity. No, it’s all about memes – quick, short, over almost before they’ve begun. And why play a...

More Thoughts From Me Special Edition: Hogwarts Legacy Looks Stunning

Image
  Today’s State of Play showed off Hogwarts Legacy and it looked amazing. First of all, let me note that I am a Harry Potter fan. I love the movies. I love the books. And so it shouldn’t be surprising that I like the look of Hogwarts Legacy. But I have to say that the game absolutely stunned me. Now, before getting into why it looks stunning, I will note that the game might not be up to the level of graphics in games like Elden Ring or Horizon Forbidden West. The environments and monsters looked incredible, but some of the faces in the game looked like they still need a little work. So did the framerate in places. The game isn’t coming out till Holiday 2022, so hopefully they will improve the faces and framerate a bit. That said, Hogwarts itself and the world around it is jaw dropping. The developers have actually created the whole of Hogwarts plus the surrounding town, houses, forests, dungeons, and more. It looks like there will be a massive world to explore. You can even us...

How a student can create a gaming channel on YouTube

Image
  The gaming industry is estimated to be worth about $160 billion and growing rapidly. One popular segment of the industry is gaming videos on YouTube. YouTube channels that provide content with tutorials, tips, and reviews are perfect for showing both your skills and knowledge. It is not surprising that many students want to engage in such activities, because computer games are interesting to every second student. Well, it’s a good thing, but it should be said that the student needs to understand that it can be harmful to his studies. Therefore, it is worth to learn time management techniques or think who can write essays for me by EssayAssistant so not to fail in school. Use the right tools and applications Web or digital camera. Video on a successful YouTube gaming channel includes an image of the organizer’s or player’s face. Connecting with viewers is crucial, and it’s easier to make if people can see your facial expressions. High-quality microphone. If your content has...

Why Do Game Developers Suck So Much?

Image
  Another week, another list of publishers and developers that have been accused of treating their staff abysmally. Add in Sony and Activision – and no doubt countless others – and it feels like the industry is just awful. Sexism, racism, abuse. These companies fly flags and issue press releases when International Women’s Day rolls around, but behind closed doors hate just about everybody regardless of anything. Equal opportunities abuse – finally we’ve made it. This week there have been stories about Moon Studios, Mountains, Fullbright and Funomena – as well as ongoing stories about Sony. And whether these specific stories are true or not, the question of if abuse and ‘isms’ exist in the industry isn’t really a question at all. If the actual abuse doesn’t bother you, and the hypocrisy doesn’t bother you either (both should), maybe the overall impact should. Talented people are being forced out because their bosses are assholes. That will never be a positive thing. But why does ...

Big Week - Rune Factory 5 Contest & Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Image
  Rune Factory 5 This Tuesday, the next title in the Rune Factory 5 will be launching, and we have been playing it for well over a week. No reviews yet, but the game continues the long and storied Rune Factory franchise. Rune Factory 4 Special was a bit of an off title for me, and while I know so many people enjoyed it, it just wasn’t for me. I have high hopes for Rune Factory 5 as it appears to look more like a standard Harvest Moon / Story of Seasons experiences versus the wackiness that was Rune Factory 4! You can begin your adventure on Tuesday, but I am also giving away a copy of the game! Details here . Kirby and the Forgotten Land While some people really want to disagree with me, the Kirby franchise has been a niche franchise for Nintendo Switch. Sure, Kirby is a popular character and much loved in Smash Bros, but for a franchise with 20ish titles and only 25 million units sold…it’s a niche experience. After playing the Kirby and the Forgotten Land demo , I’m ready to...

How To Know If a Casino Game Is Worth Playing

Image
  An online  casino house like god55 will have games ranging from live card games to slot machines, and playing is simply through a click of a button. Of course, online casinos still deal with real-life money. That’s why knowing if a game is worth playing can be valuable to you and your willingness to bet. Follow these tips to help you decide if a casino game is worth your time and money! 1. Know the odds Casinos aren’t just about luck; it’s also statistics. Individuals across the globe have tried their hand at calculating the chances in games to determine how big or small the win/loss percentage could be.  Blackjack, for example, has a 49% chance of winning; Roulette can give you an equal 50/50 opportunity if you choose to bet on either red or black color. Other games, however, can give you the tiniest windows of winning — such as slots that use numerous possible combinations and a least likely probability to hit the jackpot. 2. Know your skillsets Skills c...

Tapestry - Arts and Architecture Review

Image
  This review will not explain the rules for Tapestry. For that, please click here . Arts and Architecture brings new ideas and a brand new advancement track to the game. It also adds a number of new personal landmarks to add to your capital city, including an epically large castle! But the landmarks are not new, first introduced in Plans and Ploys, so let’s move past that and onto what is new – the Arts Track. The Arts track is all about the arts, and includes new cards that players can collect. These square purple cards can be earned via the Arts Track in a number of different places, and provides players with additional income benefits that will be triggered after advancing to a new age. These rewards vary, but the group we played with found getting at least one card during the first few rounds of the game beneficial. The other major change to the game is the ability to upgrade your own personal income tracks on your player board. On the Arts Track, there is an option to ob...
