A Different Sort of Review – The NES Classic Mini

May 2, 2017September 20, 2017 Medic 0 Comments Classic, Console, mario, mini, nes, nes classic mini, nintendo, review

Sometimes, we review weird things, but these things are mostly just games and the occasional visual novel or movie. Me in particular, I am not the sort of person to review anything Nintendo related. But for my dad’s birthday, we got him a Nintendo Entertainment System Classic Mini. My dad grew up with games like Super Mario and all that. Mostly just Super Mario to be honest, but Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter and Double Dragon were also there. As he grew older, he moved onto the FIFA football games and the Tekken series. These days, he sees even games like… [Continue Reading]

Saints Row 2 is Free For One Day!

April 21, 2017April 21, 2018 aabicus 0 Comments announcement, free, free game, giveaway, Saints Row, saints row 2, saints row the third, steam

If you’ve ever wanted to play the best game in the Saints Row series, now’s your chance! GOG.com and Steam having a free giveaway today only! The comments section seems to say that the GOG version is more stable than the Steam version, which I certainly hope because the Steam version is among the worst PC ports I’ve ever played in my life. But it’s free, so you don’t really lose anything by grabbing it, and if it does work you’ll get the chance to play my personal favorite sandbox game of all time. Stilwater is bursting with personality, the combat… [Continue Reading]

Upcoming Overwatch and Payday Halloween events!

October 7, 2016September 20, 2017 aabicus 0 Comments announcement, cosmetics, event, halloween, Not TF2, overwatch, payday 2

Today was a big day for gaming announcements! Over on the Payday subreddit, players were able to discover leaks suggesting that new weapons, DLCs, heisters, maps, and difficulties were coming to Payday 2. Yes, that’s right, new difficulties. ‘Mayhem’ will be between Overkill and Deathwish, and ‘One Down’ is going to be the new hardest difficulty in the game. While its name suggests that players will only be allotted one incapacitation before going into custody, we don’t know much more than that. Hopefully it comes with some balance tweaks beyond just that. And today the official announcement finally went live: Safehouse… [Continue Reading]

Bethesda is making TESV Skyrim Special Edition – Mods on consoles!

June 14, 2016September 20, 2017 Medic 0 Comments E3, Fallout, HD, remake, Skyrim, TESV

The other day, Bethesda announced, alongside their new Fallout 4 DLCs and their Fallout Shelter mobile game coming to PC, TESV Skyrim Special Edition. There had been rumours of it drifting around before E3, but the official announcement was pretty neat. It’s no Oblivion/Morrowind remake, but it looks like this version of Skyrim will be the bee’s knees, or at least something pretty to look at while we wait for The Elder Scrolls VI. Normally I don’t really take much interest in E3, even though I really should, but I always glance at what Bethesda has coming up and it’s… [Continue Reading]

In honor of my favorite pistol (number 3 on this list) getting its first ever skin in the most recent Sydney safe, I thought I’d write a Payday 2 article designed for new players, showcasing a number of free weapons that you should definitely give a shot. This guide assumes you own none of the paid DLC, and are subscribed to the Payday Steam Group for the free community weapons. 1. Platypus Sniper rifle – Sniper rifles in Payday 2 come with infinite penetration, meaning that you can kill as many cops as you line up. Even more importantly, it can penetrate Shields,… [Continue Reading]

Overwatch comes out today!

May 23, 2016September 20, 2017 aabicus 0 Comments balance, overwatch, release

Get hyped, Overwatch comes out in just a few hours! Imma buy it the second it comes out because I promised myself I’d never preorder again after the colossal disappointment that was Killing Floor 2, but if you’re hoping to score the Noir Widowmaker skin, you have a very brief window of time to obtain it right now. And this is a game to get in on the ground level, because I have a feeling this one’s gonna stick around for a long time. It took most of the good stuff from Team Fortress 2 and added things that make… [Continue Reading]

Oh look, Overwatch is live.

May 23, 2016September 20, 2017 Medic 0 Comments blargh, overwatch, release

Overwatch is finally live, after a stupidly long time of waiting. Well, should be. This article will be released beforehand, because the release date for people playing in Europe is between midnight and 2am on the 24th. Through closed and open betas and a scandal with Tracer that I’m pretty sure they made themselves to get themselves good publicity, the game is finally out and everyone can go be a hero or an edgelord. It’s been a pretty smooth ride, considering, as Blizzard have been plotting their revenge for Valve stealing Dota 2 for so damn long. If they really… [Continue Reading]

I Attended DreamHack 2016!

DreamHack was in Austin this weekend, which means it was a short fifteen minutes away from my house! Due to other obligations, I was only able to attend on Sunday, but I was okay with that because it meant I’d get to see the Grand Finals of my first ever Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournament. The CS:GO tournament in question was open only to North-American teams, though two Brazilian teams were also in attendance; Luminosity Gaming and Tempo Storm. Friday and Saturday had seen all but 4 teams eliminated in knockout format, and both of the aforementioned were still in circulation,… [Continue Reading]

Valve Shuts Down LMAOBox in One Fell Swoop

April 29, 2016September 20, 2017 aabicus 0 Comments announcement, hacks, VAC

VACations everywhere! Today the LMAOBox community woke up to find that pretty much all of them have been banned. Read more here. This giant ban wave has hit platinum level comp snipers, high-tier traders with thousands of dollars in their inventories, and the creators of LMAOBox, though at least one transferred his entire inventory the night before so it appears they had something to do with the leak. MaxBox claiming he sent the debug version to Valve reinforces this, but there’s also evidence that he’s simply trying to take credit for something another user did. The LMAOBox creator has since released… [Continue Reading]
