So, you’ve got the latest, greatest and fastest gaming PC. Your system is fully optimized and you’re ready to play. But what about your space? Whether you’re a long-time gamer who just built a new PC or you’re new to video gaming, the days of having to resort to playing your favorite games in a dark, cramped and bland basement or corner are gone. And even if yours aren’t (sorry Mom) you can have a sweet gaming setup no matter how much room you’ve got. Besides the systems, gaming accessories and furniture have become big business. As a result, you’ve got choices when it comes to optimizing the space.

1. Gaming desk

When you’re looking for a desk or table, such as those reviewed in a list from Tom’s Guide, for your PC gaming space, look at the size of the room or area in the room and at how much space you need for your computer and your monitor, multiple monitors or even a large-screen TV. Also consider how much storage or space for storage you will require. Will you need built-in shelves, cubbies and drawers? Do you want your desk to have extra space for you to add your own storage and desk organizers? Will you be storing game cases and accessories in the desk itself?

A small desk that fits in a corner, with or without an adjustable standing platform works well in a dorm room, bedroom, basement or studio apartment. Dedicated game rooms can incorporate a large rectangle or L-shaped desk. Alternatively, for long hours playing your favorite role-playing game (RPG), you might prefer an over-sized standing desk that’s easy to lower and raise from sitting height to standing height.

2. Gaming chair

Good-bye to your dad’s old uncomfortable office chair. Hello to ergonomic, comfy, PC gaming chairs that move, swivel, recline and come in a variety of colors. Plus, they’re sleek and look super cool! Many of these look like the seats from a sportscar and the most amazing rotating VR chairs look similar to the Expanse’s razorback interior and cost as much as $50K or more. Non-commercial, less elaborate, designed for home-use models are less and will set you back between $5K and $10K.

Not all gaming chairs are created equal, so try several out before you buy. Don’t discount the office chair route either. Some gamers find them more comfortable than even the most expensive gaming-specific seating. This roundup from PC Gamer rates the latest options.

3. Design theme

Maybe you started with a theme idea for your gaming space before you chose your desk and chair. You may have even started thinking about it when you were building your new PC and chose the case. And if you haven’t, now is the time to start. Even the tiniest gaming setups don’t have to be boring. Jazz up your setup with the color schemes from your favorite game or games.

Decorate your desk with game-inspired toys and figurines. From Minecraft plushies to Marvel or Star Wars Funko Pops, there’s no end to the ways you can make the design of your gaming space your own special creation. You might also want to hang posters of your best-loved games and game characters. Alternatively, print out one of your best gaming screenshots and display it on your desk or a shelf.

4. Gaming accessories

We’ve talked about gaming furniture and how to design the theme of your space but don’t worry we haven’t forgotten about all the other extras you need to set up your space. Here, gaming accessories. Sure, there are monitors, mice, keyboards, controllers, speakers, headsets and more, all designed specifically for PC gaming and gamers. While those are important, you don’t want to neglect the other PC game room touches that help create an awesome playing environment. Items such as, blackout curtains and soundproofing are essential for blocking out glare and ensuring loud sounds and music from games (not to mention any yelling and shouting) don’t disturb your neighbors or other people who live with you. Plus, you can find many accessories in colors that match the rest of your design theme.

5. Storage

Finally, you can’t forget gaming storage. Whether or not your gaming desk has built-in shelves, you will undoubtedly require extra shelving for all your games and accessories. If you display any toys, a small shelf over or near your desk is also essential. Plus, you need hooks and racks to help you dangle your headphones, organize chords and keep everything neat. Consider borrowing a longstanding idea from retail stores and add a slatwall. Slatwalls are perfect gaming room accessories because you can further accessorize them with hooks, frames, bins and shelves. Plus, you can move your stuff around and swap things out when you get new items or decide to change up your entire gaming setup.

Conclusion

Bottom line, there’s no right or wrong way to set up your videogaming area or game room. Personalize your space to provide the most comfortable and exciting playing experience. The “coolest” video gaming setup is the one you create and not whatever conforms to the latest fad. There are as many types of gaming spaces as there are gamers. The look, feel and organization are up to you to decide.

Final Thoughts

2021 and beyond is going to be an extremely busy period for PS5 owners as a litany of new releases continues to hit the console. And since the list continues to grow by the day, it can become challenging to find the very best. With our list of upcoming games and their release dates, however, you should be able to stay ahead of the curve.

If you’re a hardcore RTS fan, you’ve probably played all the big games like Age of Empires and Command & Conquer to death. Fortunately, there are countless underrated PC strategy games out there just waiting to be played. Here are a few great PC strategy games that are often overlooked. 

Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds

Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds was released by Ensemble Studios back in 2001. It’s got exactly the same mechanics as classic medieval strategy game Age of Empires 2, except it’s set in the Star Wars universe. Factions range from the Galactic Empire to the Wookies. While perhaps a little clunky by today’s standards, the game makes up for it with its expansiveness and still has a loyal online multiplayer following. 

King Arthur: The Role Playing War Game

King Arthur: The Role Playing War Game is a bit of a blend of genres - there’s some strategy and some RPG in there. It’s gameplay feels very similar to the Total War series. The biggest difference is that it’s set in a fantasy world with magic and mythos. All in all, if you love the Total War games and fantasy, this is the game for you. It’s a bit rough around the edges, but it’s a very fun game.

Achron

Achron was released in 2011 and is considered the first ‘meta-time strategy’ game. It’s a sci-fi strategy game that incorporates time travel adding a whole new dimension to the gameplay. By transporting units back in time (known as ‘chronoporting’), you can change events that previously occurred earlier in the game. Just be wary of ‘chronofragging’ your units - if units collide with their previous or future self, the weaker of the two is killed, which could then have other implications on the future of the game. 

Politics & War

Politics & War is a nation states game in which you create your own nation and rule it. It’s an MMO game so you’ll be competing/co-operating with other players’ custom-made nations. You can choose to wage war (Watch out! There are nukes!) or compete for economic power. It’s pretty thrilling game with a great community on Discord - plus it’s completely free-to-play.

They Are Billions

This post-apocalyptic steampunk strategy game takes hordes of zombies to new levels - you’ll have to defend against waves of (what feels like) billions of zombies to survive. The game involves building a colony and then setting up defences. It’s like a tower defence game but much tougher and much more dramatic. 

Factorio

If war strategy games aren’t for you, Factorio may be more up your street. You play as an engineer who has crash-landed on an alien planet. The aim of the game is to harvest enough resources and create enough industry so that you can build a rocket. The game requires you to experiment with alien automated tech. Once you get to grips with it, you can create all manner of automated machinery processes. It’s a challenging game to get into but very rewarding.

Xenonauts

This indie strategy game was launched back in 2014. Your aim is to defend a Cold War era Earth from an alien invasion (it’s very similar to XCOM). There’s an old-skool feel about it that’s charming. The game also manages to capture a real sense of danger that makes it truly thrilling. Just be wary that it is not a fast game to complete - be prepared to put some hours in.

When the draft time arrives, you have a lot to think about. Whether it is your first draft or just your first time playing with a certain team, knowing what to do is a must. From knowing how to predict your LoL match outcome to getting the first-round draft picks right, use the tips and information below to have a positive experience.

Assess Your Team

One of the first things you must do before thinking about the draft phase is to find out how your teammates play and who they are. While getting an overpowered composition in the game is good, it may be a bad idea if you have teammates who are in roles they are unfamiliar with.

While it isn’t required that each person play the same role every tie, you need to know the capabilities of your teammates. Be sure that you all understand one another’s hero pools and their preferred roles, which will help you with your draft.

Engaging in voice communication is recommended, as this can help increase the effectiveness of your drafting. It’s a good idea to discuss your strategies before queuing up to have a general idea of your team’s plans. If you don’t have a voice, at least use the “thumbs up” option and the role indicator to communicate the strategies you plan to use.

Bans and First Round Draft

While you maintain a cohesive team comp, be sure to attack the strategy used by your opponents when possible. You need to ensure your picks are aimed at countering the opponent you are going up against, even if they are not explicitly stated.

It is virtually impossible to keep your opponent from getting a top pick; however, it’s not something you should worry about either. If it happens, you should take the opportunity to manage the situation and then turn the tables so things are in your favor again. Teams that play competitively do this constantly.

A priority pick is stronger if they have the right composition, and you can take steps to keep this from happening. Also, having priority picks may include a strong counter, which is perfect for shutting down the priority pick. In some way, if you have an opponent who gets a priority pick, the draft provides you with some control over the strength of the pick.

Second Ban and Double Pick Strategies

A general strategy is to use the double pick you must counter your opponent or to create a stronger foundation for the team composition. In some cases, it can be used for both. Take steps to force your opponent to react to the picks you make. This is preferred over having them move forward as they originally planned.

As you can see, there are a few strategies that can help you be successful when it comes to the draft. Keep the tips and information here in mind to give your team a strong foundation, regardless of who you are going up against. 

By: Kelvin Teh

Thriller is a niche genre, especially when it comes to video games. Good ones are few and far in between. Some of the memorable ones that I could recall from the top of my head would be Telltale Games' The Wolf Among Us and Playdead’s Limbo.

And when one of my friends recommended 12 Minutes to me, I was very sceptical. The premise was pretty formulaic where the main objective is to uncover the mystery behind your upcoming death and accused wife.

Personally, I had my fair share of unpleasant experiences in the past with thriller games, hence you can understand why I was pretty apprehensive about playing the game.

That being said, I am always up for a recommended game and here’s what I think about it.

Story and Gameplay

Without spoiling too much, 12 Minutes is mainly a decision-matter game and based on your decisions, the outcome will differ.

This strikes a similar tone with the Life is Strange series and more so with the protagonist’s supernatural time-travelling abilities.

Hence, your role here is to uncover the truth behind all the mystery with your newfound powers, all set within the confines of your living room.

I have to admit, being stuck inside the living room can be a little boring, especially when the game requires you to go back and forth in a loop, but this notion was cast away when the story gets deeper and darker along the way.

One thing that is not formulaic about this game was that it is played from a top-down perspective. Although there are quite a few top-down soul-like games, there are almost none that are choice-based games. Frankly, I liked the change.

Graphics and Visuals

Coming from an independent studio, it goes without saying that the visuals may not be as ‘impressive’ as triple-A games like Cyberpunk 2077 or Resident Evil. However, Annapurna Interactive did a spectacular job with the tools they have in hand.

The visual does not fall short compared to many indie games. Plus, I was glad that they did not do anything too crazy with the art direction, which they kept as minimalistic as possible.

Besides, 12 Minutes is not a game where the player should focus on the visuals. While I would be lying that a bad game art wouldn’t irk me, 12 Minutes is one of the few games that will still immerse you in its reality despite not having hyper-realistic images—at least it did for me.

Sound and Atmosphere

The voice acting and audio are easily the winners for 12 Minutes. You can argue all you want, but having James McAvoy as the lead voice is a win in my book. Aside from all biasedness, his voice blends in perfectly with his character.

Willem Dafoe and Daisy Ridley were also voice casted which hints that the devs wanted to emphasise more on the audio department. Again, like Life is Strange where a part of the game’s praise is from the soundtrack choices, 12 Minutes did a great job in voice casting their characters.

Plus, added effects like the background sound effects were on point. The rain can be heard from the outside pelting at the window with vehicles passing by, which are excellent touches that contribute to the ambivalent aesthetic of the game.

Overall Experience

As mentioned earlier, I am not the biggest fan when it comes to thriller games, but if I were to be honest, 12 Minutes got me hooked on the first minute. I’m not saying that the game isn’t flawed, as that it can get repetitive for the impatient.

However, the story and atmosphere really draws you in and you really just forget about time when you are trying to unravel the answers to the mystery, and that to me, is a successful thriller game.

The game is now available on Steam, you can conveniently add funds to your Steam Wallet by getting some codes from OffGamers here!

As with many professional coders, your newfound interest in coding is probably through video games like Minecraft as well.

We’re with you, pal!

After spending a lot of time building and exploring different maps on Minecraft, we feel that we are missing out on some cool and secret features. Features that can only be unlocked if we knew how to create mods, packs, add-ons, and many more.

So for this article, we would walk you through one of these many cool features, specifically Minecraft mods.

For those who are still unfamiliar with Minecraft mods, it is a modification that allows you to alter the game’s behavior. This simply lets you change how the game is usually played. For example, a mod called What Am I Looking at (WAILA) would conveniently tell you what block are you looking at by simply pointing your crosshair to it.          

For some, the example that we just stated doesn’t sound too cool, right? But keep in mind that these little modifications are what makes the gaming experience extra special and more personalized.

With the help of these mods, you can easily build your dream mansion or even acquire new equipment without these little nuances and extra steps that you need to do.  

Having said all that, we have created this simple and short guide to help you.

Coding for Kids Online Program

Even if you are an adult already, don’t skip this section!

No matter which age group you belong to, coding for kids programs are the perfect place to start learning Minecraft mods. Given that this game is particularly popular among kids, it should come as no surprise why a great number of kids suddenly want to learn Minecraft coding.

If you do a quick Google search on learning Minecraft mods, most of the search results are tailored specifically for kids (although if you dig deep enough, you would find FEW online courses for adults too).

That being the case, several online learning platforms for kids have perfected the way it should be thought. They have seamlessly incorporated Minecraft into their learning materials.

On top of that, Minecraft mods have been one of the most popular ways to teach and make kids more interested in coding and programming.

With that, we highly suggest you check out a few of these kids’ programs online.

Bonus if you are an unprofessional coder and do not have any background in programming, then these coding for kids programs would surely ease you into Minecraft coding. You would surely learn Minecraft mods in no time.

Online Forums

Even if you have the most specific hobbies or interests, you can easily find an online community based on that.   

Since Minecraft mods are not exactly an “underground” thing, it is not that difficult to find an online community or forums about it. In fact, some of the most popular mods initially started on online forums (people just tend to pass them around and tweak it a little bit).

Besides the fact that Minecraft has a large number of users, a fraction of them are legit enthusiasts and professional coders as well. So pumping out these free Minecraft mods for everyone to use is not a problem for them.

However, since you really want to learn how to program Minecraft mods and not just simply download it for free, then you can utilize these online forums to accompany you in your learning journey as well.

We have heard and read a few stories of people who have managed to learn modding only through these forums and online communities.

If you visit a few online forums now, you would be amazed at how vibrant and helpful these communities are. Some would immediately respond to your queries, others would post detailed instructions of how they did it, while a number of really helpful people would walk you through the process step-by-step without a question.

But keep in mind that it’s not always rainbows and butterflies once you join these communities. You have to exert some extra work if you really want to learn how to program Minecraft mods.

For instance, you need to filter out several websites and figure out which online community would best help you. Other than that, you have to gather other learning materials on your own. You cannot expect the community to teach you everything for free, right?

So with all that said, you can either take the pre-paved path (coding for kids program) where they offer video explainers, course materials, modules, worksheets, and even online support

or

You can create your own path where you need to gather your own learning materials, join forums, ask around, and create your very own projects from scratch.

It is up to you to decide which path would best fit your learning journey on Minecraft modding.

Rise of kingdoms is a mobile game that was released in 2018 for android and ios. At the start, the game was poorly designed with an insanely small amount of content. Now Rise Of Kingdoms is one of the most played mobile games.

In our opinion, the community-made this game so popular. Players supported the game with in-game bundles and sending their feedback to developers on what to change and what to improve. Also, there are sites created by top Rise of Kingdoms players and one of that sites is Rise Of Kingdoms Guides where you can find information about events, commanders, talent trees, etc 

Community in ROK

First, you will always find someone in the game to chat with and who is willing to help you. Also, you have a big community on the official rise of kingdoms Reddit, Discord, and Facebook groups.

Mechanics in-game

Rise of Kingdoms is unique in this part. You will not find a mobile game where you can control troops freely. Mobile legends or clash of clans do not have this. With this game mechanic Rise of kingdoms managed to make events like Ark of Osiris and Kingdom vs Kingdom.

Events

There are a lot of smaller events every day that you can play and receive rewards but there are 2 events that will make you fall in love with this game. The first one is Kingdom vs Kingdoms where your kingdoms will work as a team to fight other kingdoms to earn great prices and reputation in the game. Next one Ark of Osiris. This event will be big in the future. Basically, this is an event where your 30 members of the alliance will fight other alliances on a special map. The map is big and there are objectives that you have to take to win. Each objective is important because it generates points. Of Kingdoms.

Commanders and Graphics in Rise Of Kingdoms

Every single commander that you will find in Rise of Kingdoms is based on historical facts. So you can play and learn history at the same time in Rise of Kingdoms. The graphic is beautiful and developers are spending a lot of time polishing and designing buildings and commanders.

Pay to Win problem

The problem with mobile games is that they are pay to win. A lot of people are willing to spend an insane amount of money to get an advantage over other players and that can be frustrating if you are free to play and not willing to spend money on a mobile game. but Rise of kingdoms is different in that aspect. Yes, you have pay to win players but they need free-to-play players. Spenders can not win events like KVK and AOo alone.

Overall Rise of Kingdoms is a great game that you will have fun playing. So give it a try. You will always have something to do. On top of that, they are improving it every day. Developers are working hard to push ROK to the esports scene with the ark of Osiris event and there is a big possibility that they will succeed. So give it a try, you have nothing to lose.

Thank you Materia Collective for sending us this digital album to review!

It’s no secret that I love the music from Undertale and have reviewed many different renditions of the songs from this game. If you enjoyed Ferdk’s interpretations of Battle Against a True Hero, Hopes and Dreams, and Spider Dance, you’ll want to hear Ro Panuganti’s versions in this album. I was impressed with Ro Panuganti’s Pokemon album, Metal Trainer, and looked forward to his progressive metal take on Undertale. While it doesn’t dethrone String Player Gamer’s version as my favorite, it’s still a solid album.

Fallen Hero has 24 tracks with the guitar being the most dominant instrument used. You’ll still hear drums, keyboard, violin, and other percussion instruments too. All of the songs were instantly recognizable and brought back fond memories of playing this game.

Here’s a full track list:

1. Once Upon a Time 02:25

2. Fallen Down 01:12

3. Ruins 03:25

4. Enemy Approaching 02:52

5. Ghost Fight 02:10

6. Home 03:26

7. Heartache 04:58

8. Snowy 03:38

9. Bonetrousle 02:49

10. Waterfall 03:31

11. Run! 03:01

12. Spear of Justice 03:39

13. Battle Against a True Hero 05:30

14. Metal Crusher 02:15

15. Another Medium 06:00

16. Spider Dance 02:33

17. Oh! One True Love 01:35

18. Dogsong 02:43

19. Death by Glamour 05:11

20. Bergentrückung 01:16

21. ASGORE 04:23

22. Your Best Nightmare 06:11

23. Hopes and Dreams 06:00

24. MEGALOVANIA 04:56

This is a pretty good sampling of Undertale songs as you’ll hear the opening theme song, battle music, boss music, and songs from peaceful moments in the game. There are over 100 tracks in the OST and songs chosen for this album are exceptionally done.

This approximately 80-minute album is a must-have for any progressive rock-loving Undertale fan. The asking price is a reasonable $10 and can be purchased digitally on Bandcamp in MP3, FLAC, ALAC (Apple Lossless), AAC, Ogg Vorbis, WAV and AIFF formats. It’s a dollar cheaper on Amazon for MP3 format only.

Everyone has heard of gaming and formed some sort of opinion towards it. Some people love games and spend hundreds of hours on them, while others resent it and spend hundreds of hours ranting about it. Whether you love or hate games, they are here to say. They are continuously growing in popularity and innovation.

One of the newest innovations in the gaming industry is the addition of VR. 

VR or Virtual Reality transports users to a whole new manmade version of reality. This man-made version can serve many uses like work, art, and even education. Now VR is making its way to the gaming industry, a wonderful industry full of potential, soft drinks, and angry gamers.

Virtual Reality and How it Works

As mentioned, VR transports users to a specific virtual world for varying reasons. VR is often discussed in combination with Augmented Reality or AR. Augmented Reality is essentially the same as VR except they transport users to a modified version of reality. Users are still in the same realm, but this time AR has added to the reality making it a better-augmented version.

With new startups targeting different areas of the market, who knows where VR will be in the coming years? New startups that are dedicated to fitness, education, healthcare, finance, and many more show the potential in VR. All of these are possible thanks to the tools used for VR.

The Instruments of Virtual Reality

In old-school gaming you might make use of a console or a stick and controller in the arcade, today you make use of simple lightweight tools. Instead of your usual handheld controller attached to a PS4, VR makes use of modern tools.

Most VR programs can be accessed with a pair of controllers and augmented reality. 

The controllers allow the program to locate your hands and observe your movements. These controllers serve as the bridge between your hands and the virtual world.

The virtual reality headset allows you to access the virtual world. What the controller does for VR programs, the headset does for you. It tells you what is on the other side, usually, this is through a pair of lightweight goggles and some headphones. Headsets vary in size and approach but they all serve the same purpose, allowing you to access virtual reality.

Just like having a new handheld console, having a headset and a pair of controllers gives you free rein over a new and improved world.

Pros of VR in Gaming

With the awesome development of this technology, it brings forth numerous pros for its users. Let’s find out what they are below.

 1. Everything is Surreal

One of the advantages that VR gaming has is the immersiveness. VR provides you with far better visuals compared to any other gaming console out there. VR can be so immersive, it can even look better than what actual reality looks like. You get the high-quality graphics of the real world combined with the beauty of a gaming world.

One second you can be in your living room and the next the web-slinging Spiderman or maybe a soldier in the second world war. VR transports you into whatever reality you choose and lets you take in every beautiful second you spend there. You aren’t limited by some screen on a computer anymore, now you can walk and turn around to see every beautiful detail.

2. Exploration is Safe

As mentioned, VR transports you to whichever reality you prefer. Providing you with beautiful scenery in the comfort of your own home. What may surprise scenic lovers who are used to climbing mountains to get a beautiful view, is the fact that they can get that same view from the safety of their living room.

VR is all about transporting your eyes, ears, and for some programs, even your legs to a whole different world. You get to feel a new reality without leaving your home and you get to be a thrill seeker while you stay safe.

Safety is a major priority when it comes to staying alive, and with VR you don’t have to sacrifice this.

3. It Can Make You More Fit

Certain VR games let you exercise the way you normally would inside the gym and others do a better job. An example of VR in fitness is Black Box, they are a VR startup that takes your workout to a whole new level through gamification. They make regular old crunches and reps into fun challenges that reward you with a fun game and healthy results.

There are plenty of other VR programs that can help you to have fun and have that summer body.

Cons of VR Gaming

Everything comes with a price, and it is only fair that we inform you of the negative effects of VR gaming. It isn’t all bonuses when it comes to modern gaming, just like in the past there are cons. 

For you to make a responsible decision if you want to get into VR gaming here are the cons.

1. Highly Addictive

Since VR gaming is essentially a step up from traditional console gaming, its addictiveness follows. Some may argue that it is “only addictive” because it is enjoyable. Regardless of the reason, addiction is still something that needs to be taken seriously. Exposing yourself to VR gaming does expose you to a small risk of addiction.

This may be especially true since VR is more immersive. Since some gamers get addicted to low-quality games then VR might serve an additional risk of addiction. 

2. VR Gaming is Expensive

VR gaming is a class of its own in the gaming industry. Since it is a relatively new technology, some tools are expensive. Even though everyone should get to experience the wonders of VR, doesn’t mean they get the opportunity to do so. 

This is of course because every gaming console has always come with a price, and that price always drops after time. This con may not be around for long but it still deserves a mention, for now, certain tools might be too expensive for an average gamer.

Final Takeaway

VR is a wonderful new world full of possibilities, it brings amazing experiences but it also has its disadvantages. This article quickly discusses VR, how it works, and the different effects you need to consider before buying a VR setup.  

All in all, this article presents you with the needed information and it is your choice if you want to take advantage of VR in its early stages. Whether you are interested or not, VR is here and it will keep on growing and branching out to other industries in the future.

One year ago, Call of Duty was launched, and its story was to save the fictional city of Verdansk from a nuclear attack while it was already churning in the toxic fumes. I felt a strong déjà vu.

The ultimate battle royale was launched when the world was sitting tight and waiting in their home for the lockdown to end. It was March 2020. The gloom descended on the world matched the horror served by the second instalment of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.  

What is Project Magma?

There is an interesting story of how Patrick Kelly and Dave Stohl, co-studio heads for Infinity ward, persuaded everyone to deal in the biggest game ever. All of Activision and Infinity Ward came out of their Woodland Hills' office with a vision to create a multiplayer game on a voluminous map with more than 150 players at a time. The project was named Magma.

Warzone was Originally Planned to be in Kabul

The work on this unnamed project started in 2017 when PUBG was steadily rising and raising the bar for virtual battleground game. Kelly enjoyed playing the game with his son, which prompted him to think about what he liked and didn't like about COD.

Kelly wanted to base it on Kabul, but Donestk’s features supported the logistics of the game well. Developers thought that most of the cityscape would look the same, and the players can find difficulty finding out where they are.

The team pondered on developing the city of Verdansk as tangible and identifiable as possible by making distinct structures. The map started to grow. Stohl and Kelly figured out that making a map spanning miles in the city is a wild goose chase.

The Biggest Battle Royale Ever

This was a critical point. The team decided to limit the map proportional to the number of players that could be supported, and Infinity Ward wanted to double the standards set by Fortnite and PUBG. Eventually, the number of players were capped at 200.

How Gulag was Developed: Chance of Survival

Kelly observed no chance of revival if a player got eliminated initially in Fortnite and PUBG. Infinity Ward was working on 'Gunfight' at this time. It was two players versus two players mode which inspired Kelly to create Gulag.

Gulag gives players a chance to get reinstated in the game. Two eliminated players would enter a one on one fight in prison separated by tiled walls. The fellow players could watch the duel from above and even tell their player about the enemy's position. The player who wins is respawned.

Kelly wanted this to take place on the weapon training platform with the wooden area at the center-King. But including Gulag was smart. In Fortnite, Apex Legends and PUBG, it was game over for many within a minute.

How They Got Players to Scavenge for More

Developers wanted the players to experience the map and move forward even after their favourite weapons and armour. The game had incentives for players to earn ‘Cash.’

The Cash is the game currency that players can spend on exclusive stations to buy radars to find enemies, weaponry used in airstrikes to kill them and even purchase back their lost player. These features inspired players to move around on the map. Still, if you are new at this game, you can try to learn with the help of some Warzone hacks.

The Final Act: Testing

At last, the day of reckoning came. This was the most pressurizing time for the team. A group of 100 playtesters sat in front of their Xboxes, Personal Computers, and PlayStations.

All of them entered the Modern Warfare's mode Ground War to test the limitation of the software. Testing stretched way past midnight. The developers weighed the pros and cons and limited the number of players from 200 to 150. However, the game can support 200 players in specific formats.

Realism in the Graphics: The Devil in Details

The game is set in a spooky and dreaded atmosphere. The air is cloudy and dry without any hint of life. The airports are bombed- down, towns sans people, and places are reeking of destruction. Dead bodies of livestock are decaying in the farms, the upland is rocky, and deserted lumber yards make us remember Chainsaw Massacre.

Like any horror movie, the players are always on their edge and vulnerable to being shot from a tattered pane of a rigged building. Shadows are lurking to shoot from the remotest places. The story is taken forward where Call of Duty Black Ops left.

Descending into a building where broken toys and dangling in a cot, the bedsheet is ruffled, and a fridge stocked with food items literally send chills down the spine. I could feel the hairs around my neck standing. This is the next level of spookiness.

The details are made gore with excellent graphics and software fidelity. The background sound has nailed the job. The sound of swarming of flies, creaking floorboards, branches and leaves rustling, dust unsettling from an abandoned building, and many more like this trigger the feeling of being hunted.

According to psychologists, the tactical team has done a great job by refining such subtle details making the surrounding more real. The player is hiding. He listens to footsteps approaching from behind; the sound of the storm with the monstrous and jaw-clattering roar of a missile launch stirs the Agency Detection Mechanism in our minds. The adrenaline rush that follows is incredible!

 
The Aftermath

The Team was quite skeptical of what will follow after the launch. The game was received with excitement and crossed 100 million downloads by the end of the year, making it the most played game on the planet.

Activision has hinted at launching a mobile version of the game after the Call of Duty Mobile downloads reflected success. This speculation is airing after the job for mobile developers was posted on LinkedIn by the publisher. Gamers can only sit tight and wait for the action to unleash on their mobiles.

Thank you From Gamers Magazine (published by Guidefall) for sending us a digital copy to review!

From Gamers Magazine was successfully Kickstarted in April of 2021 and the inaugural issue was released in May and physically shipped out in June. The funds received from the Kickstarter cover the costs of making two issues and the next one is set to release later this year.

The goal of From Gamers Magazine is to prolong the lifespan of printed gaming media while bringing back the passionate voice of gamers that is no longer present in other media outlets. From what I’ve read of this 56-page magazine, I think they’re living up to these goals.

Along with crediting the Kickstarter backers, you can expect to find a few ads promoting various games, gaming magazines, and podcasts. You’ll also find insightful previews, reviews, and opinion pieces. There are informative articles that talk about the history of Far Cry and opinionated articles on how to improve the Halo series going forward and a list of game franchises to bring back. I like how the articles have QR codes to scan to view official trailers for the games being discussed.

The game reviews are well written and have a breakdown on the bottom of the page indicating the strengths and weaknesses a title has. There is a big numerical score awarded as well with a 10 being the highest available. This first issue has reviews for Bravely Default II, It Takes Two, Monster Hunter Rise, Outriders, and Persona 5 Strikers.

At the end of the magazine you’ll find a QR code for pre-ordering issue #2. Print copies for the first and second issues can be ordered from the website for $12 (free shipping in the United States). There is a limited number in stock so if you prefer holding and reading magazines in your hand, act fast! Digital copies are $4.99.

With the global health crisis and the restrictions on movement, indoor games have never been so important. These games are avenues for people stuck together to bond and have a great time.

There are many indoor games that you can make do with during this period. Some of the options include chess, scrabble, ludo, monopoly, draft, snooker, card games, and several others. All these games tend to create a lively atmosphere.

However, they all have their disadvantages. For instance, you may not have so much adrenaline rush playing card games. Also, some of these games are age-sensitive. Monopoly is a mental game that the elderly will prefer. This may not apply to teenagers.

A game that everyone will love is therefore important. One of the best options we can think of is foosball. Frankly, it is hard to come across someone who has played this game and not loved it.

Some of the reasons why it is much loved include the fact that it improves coordination skills, allows winners to have bragging rights, and allows people to bond and build team spirit. For more reasons why this game is much loved, you can read this.

To play foosball, you need to get the table. Getting the right one will ensure that players have a great experience and so this is very important. To do this, many people turn to review sites.

We will discuss how to identify a good review site for this purpose in this article. This is very important as there are some biased and untrustworthy sites around. Furthermore, we will briefly discuss some features of a good foosball table.

How to Identify a Good Foosball Review Site

Getting unbiased, informed, and credible information from a review site(s) is important if you will end up with the right table. Here are some things you should look out for to make sure of this:

The Professional Expertise and/or Experience of the Writer

Many people go through every word of a review but fail to look up the writer. You need to make sure the writer has the expertise or experience that can be relied on. You can find out about the writer by checking the column that briefly describes him/her.

Read the description and see if the writer has the professional expertise or experience to make comments on the subject. You should also see if the writer is guest posting.

Often, writers that guest-post are more experienced in the subject and the blogger has allowed him/her to give a review as a result. For more information on the subject of guest posting, you can visit: https://www.financedigest.com/what-is-guest-post-placement-why-it-is-really-important.html#:

Stay Away from Marketing Review Sites

There is a huge difference between review sites that market products and those that are objective but allow you access to the product. We strongly suggest that you stay away from the former and go for the latter.

You can even deal with a review platform that is part of an affiliate program. However, it is important that the information shared there is objective and not driven by the need to make money selling foosball tables. You can make sure of this by observing the tone used by the writer.

Avoid Review Sites that Are Loyal to One Brand

A review platform that is fond of promoting one brand should be avoided. This is because there is the likelihood that the information shared is biased, untrustworthy, and cannot be relied on.

Instead, you should deal with a site that highlights the strengths and weaknesses of many foosball table products. For instance, a good platform should inform readers about the best product in categories such as top-rated and best price/value. You can visit Foosball Kingdom for more on this subject.

A Focused Review Site

We strongly advise that you stay away from review sites that discuss a wide range of topics. For instance, an option that analyses the best mattress toppers and the best foosball table all on the same site cannot be trusted.

A site that is committed to ensuring people get the right foosball table will be focused on that niche alone. Even if other things are involved, they will be somewhat related.

For instance, platforms that review foosball tables and snooker boards are still good enough. This is because both reviews have to do with indoor games.

Positive Reports from Buyers

A good platform will allow people to leave comments on their site. The comments will help you hear firsthand from people that have purchased the tables. Their reports will help you make informed decisions.

Other than this, the right platform will have some positive replies from people that were influenced by the review. Additionally, we have gathered that platforms that are endorsed by organizations in the world of foosball are better.

Updated Reviews

A good platform will have updated reviews. This is because brands keep coming up with better products with amazing features. So, dealing with a review site that works with outdated reports is not ideal. To avoid this, we strongly suggest that you deal with one that is committed to bringing you updates.

How to Identify a Good Foosball Table

There is no foosball experience without a foosball table. But more than this, the features of a table go a long way in determining the experience. This is why you should be particular about getting the right one.

Other than finding out from review sites, you need to understand the features of a good table to make the right choice. Some of these features include the following:

Good Material

Your table must be constructed with good materials. The frame, rod, and other parts of the foosball table should be durable.

Sturdy Legs

The entire frame rests on the leg of the table. This is why you need to get something that is very sturdy.

A Good Rod

You should go for something that has a good rod. Asides from the fact that the rod must be durable, it should be easy and fun to use. This is because this is the part of the table that controls the game and that you have contact with.

A Goalie that Is Well Configured

There are 2 objectives of the game. The first is to score goals and the second is to try to stop the opponent(s) from scoring. To achieve the latter, you need a goalie that is well configured.

Conclusion

There are other features of a good foosball table other than the ones listed above. To know some more, you can click here.

We have discussed how to identify a good foosball table review site and a good foosball table in this article. We hope that you make informed decisions by taking the details shared here seriously.

“Call of Duty: Modern Warfare” is a shooting video game. The game was developed by “Infinity Ward”. “Activision” are the publishers of the game. COD Modern Warfare was released on October 25, 2019. The game is played in a first-person perspective. The settings of the game are more realistic and modern.

By launching this edition of the game, developers have tried to bring back the old classic weapons from the previous editions of the game. All the guns have different specifications and it becomes difficult for players to choose from them. In this article, we will be discussing different categories of weapons.

Categories of Weapons:

Some of the best categories of weapons are discussed below:

Assault Rifles:

In COD modern warfare, assault rifles can be used to do damage at different ranges. Guns falling in this category are divided into three tiers depending on their specifications. Some of the best guns available in this category are:

• M4A1
• Grau 5.56
• AK47
• AN-94
• Oden

Submachine Guns(SMGs):

SMGs are best for close-range encounters. This is because of their good firepower that they cause huge damage to the opponent at close range. The hard-core and pro gamers like these types of weapons because of their run-and-gun style of play. Some of the best available guns of this category are:

• MP7
• MP5
• AUG
• Striker 45
• P90

Sniper Rifles:

If you want accuracy and precision from long-range, sniper rifles should be your go-to weapons. The accuracy of these guns is unmatched. Tactical players like to play with these weapons. The best available guns from this category are:

• AX-50
• HDR
• Dragunov

Light Machine Guns(LMGs):

These types of guns are best for long-range targets. These become handy if the opponent is at a large distance. Magazines of these weapons have a large ammo capacity. These guns should be your go-to guns on larger maps. Some of the best LMGs are:

• PKM
• Finn
• SA87
• M91
• MG34

Marksman Rifles:

These are also long-range weapons. Like sniper rifles and LMGs, these guns are used to take down the enemy from a long distance. But a drawback of these guns is that they are not much recommended by professionals. It is a fact that they are more mobile than sniper rifles but it causes way less damage than sniper rifles and LMGs. Some of the best guns from this category are

• Kar98k
• SKS
• EBR-14
• Crossbow

Player Accounts:

The player account gets better and better with time. The main component to upgrade the account is the winning of battles and the presence of quality weapons in the arsenal. The worth of the account increases with the rise in the player level. There are online forums available where buying and selling of accounts of COD modern warfare take place.

With the rise of eSports, many young people now believe that a career in the gaming industry is their dream job. Some of them would love to play their favorite games while getting paid; others would like to contribute to the development of the next-big-hit video game and earn from it.

Fortunately, there are many path choices for people who want to turn their love of video games into a career–from becoming a professional gamer to working in game design and even reviewing new video games on the market.

Professional Gamer 

How great would it be to get paid just by playing your favorite games? Becoming a professional gamer is one of the first things that comes to mind when thinking about turning the love of video games into a career. Surely, you’ve already watched clips on social media or YouTube of people who play video games professionally by joining tournaments with significant cash prizes.

A career as a professional gamer sounds perfect, but if you aspire to be one, be aware that it requires a lot of effort, time, and patience before you can start earning an income. The pro players you can see on TV or online get money from winning national or international tournaments and from sponsorships. The amount of money you can earn naturally depends on your skills and how long you’ve been in the industry. 

The truth is, playing video games to become an eSports athlete is perhaps one of the hardest career paths one can take. Becoming highly competitive in a game doesn’t happen overnight–you have to invest years of consistent practice. However, it’ll be worth all the hard work when you get the chance to go head-to-head with the best players from other countries for both the cash prize and honor. Who doesn’t want to be considered the top player of a popular game after winning the championship and be able to bring bags of money home? After all, it’s not a commonplace occurrence.

Streamer 

Streaming is probably for you if you love to become an internet personality by playing games you enjoy. Compared to becoming a professional gamer, streaming is less exhausting. It’s more about being an exciting player to watch and bringing entertainment to others. 

Becoming a streamer is a fantastic career option for charismatic and funny individuals. However, it’s essential to note that you have to spend money upfront on top-notch gaming and streaming equipment if you want to stream in the most professional way and attract viewers. That’s why learning how to deliver high-quality videos is a must-learn skill for aspiring game streamers. 

Fortunately, programs that allow video game streaming on their platforms are increasing rapidly, making it easier for aspiring streamers to start entertaining others through live game performances and experiences.

Games Designer 

If you’re a creative person and never run out of new ideas when it comes to game improvement, then you can become a game designer. This career path would be enjoyed by anyone who understands the various concepts behind different video game genres. Those who love to create new characters and new features in a game would also appreciate this job.  

However, unlike the previous career paths we’ve covered, becoming a games designer is more complex, which means you can’t just start working on this job whenever you want; you’ll probably have to enroll in a game design course online or in a university. That way, you can learn the required fundamental knowledge and skills, and then continue to develop and master them through experience.

Games Animator

A lot of people don’t understand how important this career is in the gaming industry. A new video game isn’t only all about new concepts, characters, and features. Creating something that’s appealing to potential buyers is also of utmost significance. Game animators are especially important in today’s gaming world and market–where there are hundreds of possibilities on how to present a game visually. 

However, just like working as a game designer, becoming an animator means signing up for some courses and learning fundamental animation techniques. Some people, though, have innate animation skills and only need to improve what they know through formal education.

Game Reviewer 

Many people prefer spending money on games that they know they won’t abandon after only one round of play. That’s why reviews, whether through vlogging or blogging, are crucial in the world of video gaming. 

Reviewing may be a perfect career for you if you love trying out newly-released games and tend to have a lot of opinions. Game review vloggers or bloggers also use their platforms to give tips and even talk about top lists of anything related to gaming.

Conclusion

People of all ages now find gaming career paths as more credible options due to the continued rise in popularity of video games. These days, it’s already a lucrative industry that nearly anyone who has a passion for gaming can venture into. 

Making a name for yourself as a professional player, streamer, game designer, game animator, or game reviewer isn’t impossible as long as you have patience and you’re willing to work hard for your goals.

What Is the Difference Between PS4 and PS4-Pro?

PS4 or PS4 Pro? Buying a Sony console, it’s always those few extra letters that make all the difference. PS 4 and PS4 Pro are both designed to meet the highest standards and expectations of our pro-gamers. Both models play the same game, use the same gaming peripherals, and access the PS store. 

Then what is the difference between PS4 and PS4 Pro? Read below:

HDR Gaming Experience

Apparently similar, but the original difference appears when you actually start playing. The feel and look of both the consoles introduce you to a whole new gaming experience. PS4 Pro, as you may know, is the premium console of Sony. It is famous for its high-resolution gaming experience. PS4 Pro runs games at up to 4k (3840x2160) resolution, which, unfortunately, the standard model cannot. The biggest difference so far is the resolution of both consoles.

However, it doesn’t mean PS4 is less. Both consoles play in HDR. Some games run well on PS4 as well. Those games often perform at 4K (2160p) -around the speed of 30 frames per second using the ‘checkerboard 4K’ technique which provides better, crisper graphics than the classic PS4. 

However, it might not be an issue for the existing games as they are created at 1080p resolution. This means PS4 would be able to play them just smoothly. 

4k HDR Video

Another aspect to count when playing a game. A similar situation occurred when it comes to video performance. The latest PS4 Pro is packed with high-tech and capable of 4K ultra-HD video outputs, while the original PS4 is confined to a maximum of 1080p. 

However, the video or picture quality also relies on the Tv set you got. If you don’t have a 4k/HDR screen, then PS4 Pro would feel like PS4. No major difference. 

Price Comparison

The PS4 Pro does offer some great advantages over the original PS4. However, when it comes to price, you would go for the classic version. PS4 is comparatively less expensive and affordable than the latest Pro. A standard PS4 costs around $203 for 500Gb, but it also comes with a decent collection of games for this price.

However, the PS4 Pro is way expensive, with a price of $370. With a great console comes great prices, you know. 

Game Library

One thing that you won’t have to compromise on when choosing your console. All existing and upcoming PS4 games work on PS4, PS4 Slim, and PS4 Pro. The only difference you may get is the look of the games- which appears a bit more pretty on Pro. As of course, the 4k HDR experience is always better, no? 

Design

Ok, I’m not the person who goes for exterior looks rather than specifications of the console, but hey, pretty looks also do matter somewhat. While both consoles share similar design aesthetics, the PS4 Pro is definitely a bit chunkier than the latter. The classic PS4 weighs around 2.1 Kg and measures 265 x 39 x 288mm It looks a lot neater when tucked in the AV cabinet. 

While the PS4 Pro is not only great in specifications but also giant in size, thanks to that extra wedge in its sandwich design style, this beast weighs around 3.3 Kg with the size of 295 x 55 x 327mm. 

Conclusion

So far, we have realized that both play the same game, both capable of HDR provided with a good HDR monitor/TV. The only difference between PS4 and PS4 Pro occurs in ‘resolution.’ If you want a supreme gaming experience and spend an extra $100, then PS4 Pro is better. 

But if you want an excellent yet affordable gaming experience, then you are surely going to enjoy and have a great time with a classic PS4. 

Gaming can be quite a lot of fun. From Space Invaders to Donkey Kong to Tekken to Mario Kart to Pokemon Go to Call of Duty, with every new one entering the market, the games keep getting more advanced and more realistic, thereby winning the new converts all along the way. But, of course, these games demand attention too, and it is not like we give them any less of it. There are so many of who spend multiple hours in a day playing games. If you, too, think of yourself as a gamer, and every bit of your free time is spent in front of the screen, then your eyes should be protected. So, here we have come up with some helpful tips to take care of your eyes.

Invest in the right monitor

Regardless of whether you are a gamer who has been into gaming for a while or you are new to this whole gaming world, you must know that a monitor and a screen can both make or break your experience. At times, the screen is pretty tiny, and you fail to see everything that you should. Other times, you are to customize the monitor’s features to ensure that you get the best gameplay and gaming experience.

‘Regardless of your needs, you must always shop for the monitors that are meant particularly for video games. It is because these are designed to allow you to enjoy your gaming experience for a much longer time. You can find several monitors that come with settings, which lower the blue light or have eye care options. These can be detrimental for guarding your eyesight,’ comments Sonya, an educator who offers online law essay writing service.

Keep distance from the monitor

Secondly, to maintain your eye health, it is vital to ensure that the distance between you and the screen is sufficient enough. Increasing the distance between the monitor and the screen can help you lower the strain and simultaneously reduce the degree of blue light exposure to your eyes. Having said that, it may become challenging for you to see what is happening in the game clearly. So, we recommend sitting at the spot that allows you to look at what is happening in the game with ease without even being too close to the monitor.

Take frequent breaks

For a lot of you, this may seem like the most obvious thing to do, but to ensure that you actually take the breaks, you need to set the alarms. The alarms are necessary to ensure that you and your eyes get a break after a fixed period of time. Why do we recommend setting the alarm? Come on, let us be honest, if you sit downplaying your favourite game, do you not lose track of time? Generally speaking, it is recommended to take a break after every twenty minutes into the game. However, if you find that too soon, you can push this time to forty-five minutes, but do not play longer than forty-five minutes in a single stretch.

Brian, an associate educator who works with a platform where you can pay to write research paper, shares, ‘When I sit down to enjoy video games, I make sure I get up after every forty-forty-five minutes. It gives me and my eyes a little break. During this time, I either shut my eyes and sit back on the chair for a few minutes, or I just go for a nice walk around the block.’

These regular breaks are necessary to ensure that you do not end up with a headache following a long gaming session.  

Try and look at the objects in the distance

Another one of the most quintessential tips that you need to keep at the top of your mind is while you are not looking at the screen, train your eyes by looking at the objects in the distance. The problem with most of us is that our line of vision is often pretty short. It is primarily because we never allow our eyes to look at objects in the distance. You need to understand that the less you look at the objects in the distance, the less adept your eyes will be. So, if you wish to better your vision, even while enjoying the long gaming session, you need to focus on the objects located at a distance from you whenever you take a break from the screen.

Invest in a pair of good gaming glasses

Wish to get better at playing video games? Well, you have to prepare your eyes to adapt to the long screen time. To make it possible, you should invest in the right equipment for your eyes, which is the gaming glasses. So why are gaming glasses needed?

Gaming glasses are beneficial. These are exquisitely designed to ensure that while you play games, your eyes do not hurt. Further, these glasses can also lower the strain that continuous exposure to the screen may cause. More so, when you play video games, be it on the mobile screen, tablet, or computer screen, it exposes you to a high degree of blue light, which causes excessive strain. In the long run, it may even lead to dry eye syndrome. To avoid this from happening, you can utilize the gaming glasses, which come with high-end filters, which lower the impact of the blue light on the eyes,’ comments Harry, an educator who offers civil engineering assignment help services.

Pay heed to your eyes

All of us are different people, which is often seen as the primary complication of every healthcare department. Why? There is no one-size-fits-all situation. Thus, it is vital to hear what your body says. For example, if while playing a game, your eyes are continually bothering you after every thirty minutes into the game, then you see it as a sign from your body and take a break. Of course, it sounds easy to you right now, but most people have a habit of ignoring these signals from the body. Please bear in mind; our eyes are unique and precious. So, listen to what they say, and take a break whenever required.

So, these are the six most vital tips for gamers to protect their eyes. Have more such tips to add to the list? Then, do let us know in the comment box below.

Introduction

Counter-Strike is one of the most famous and played multiplayer video games ever. Although the game has a long tradition of over two decades, its latest main game, CS:GO, launched back in 2012. Nevertheless, CS:GO is still very much played today, both recreationally and professionally.

The game is known for its competitive gameplay and numerous custom and special-edition skins. The skins are often limited to a certain number and hardly available to everyone. Additionally, some skins are no longer available – you can’t get them by playing the game, while others frequently fluctuate in their prices. That’s where CS:GO trade bot sites come into play.

You can use these websites to track the prices of the items you wish to purchase and get them for a much lower price. If you’d like to learn how to use these CS:GO trading sites to your advantage, keep reading.

Why Prices Matter

CS:GO has a countless number of skins for its weapons. Whether you want to customize your knives, grenades, rifles, or pistols, CS:GO offers limitless possibilities and options. The skins represent a way to finance and support the artists who created and developed them, as well as the game itself. For these reasons, the large majority of skins aren’t free.

Although you can get some free skins in free drops, which you earn by playing the game, it’s almost impossible to get exactly what you want to purchase. Because you need to use your real money to buy the skins, your possibilities are limited by how much you want to spend on these features.

What Affects Skin Prices?

As you probably noticed, CS:GO skin prices aren’t all the same. They can cost anywhere from nothing at all to the astonishing $26,000. But, how can the skins differentiate so much in price? Several factors affect this notion, including rarity, edition status, and demand.

Rarity

Common items you get in free drops are free or cost very little when you want to trade, buy, or sell them. It’s connected to their common status because almost every CS:GO player owns the item, and the market is flooded with items of similar value.

However, as the skin increases in rarity, its price increases too – some rare skins can cost a lot of money because they can be tough to find.

Limited Edition

Similar to rare skins, limited edition ones also come at a high price. These skins are typically products of special collaborations with artists. Because they’re available only for a short time, not everybody gets a chance to buy their copy of the skin.

As time goes by, limited edition skins can grow in price because they’re no longer available for purchase. Whether you’re buying or selling the limited edition skin, be prepared to put a price on it.

Demand

Some skins can rapidly grow in demand due to their rising popularity. It’s often the result of an event or a professional player promoting the skin. In that case, the regular price of an item quickly goes up because the demand for the skin increased. Nevertheless, you can expect the price to drop as soon as the hype for the particular skin is over.

A similar thing happens with the release of new skins. Namely, the skins are always the most expensive immediately upon their release. Over time, their price slowly starts decreasing, and you can get the skins for a much more affordable price only a month after their initial release.

Ways to Track Skin Prices

Tracking skin prices isn’t hard at all, and you can save a lot of money by placing your orders at the right time. Although you can manually track these changes, using specially designed websites and trade bots makes this task much easier.

Trading bots can track price changes on multiple trading websites for you and notify you when a skin drops in price. That way, you don’t have to spend your time browsing different trading sites and comparing their prices, as the trading bot does that for you.

As a result, you have easy access to all skins and their versions with prices. That allows you to find the best deals on items you wanted to buy.

Is It Possible to Predict Price Changes?

Regular CS:GO players and traders wonder whether it’s possible to predict when the skin will undergo price changes. Although there is no way to know exactly how much a skin price will go up or down, you can expect price changes to occur in several instances.

For example, skins usually hold a high price when:

• It’s a newly-released skin;
• The supply of the skin runs low;
• The skin is popular or rare;
• Special CS:GO events or competitions take place.

Similarly, you can expect the skin price to go down when:

• A short time goes by after the initial release of the new skin;
• The skin decreases in demand and popularity;
• The skin increases in supply;
• Special offers take place, typically around Easter, Christmas, Black Friday, or other holidays.

Having this in mind, you can predict when the skin prices will go up or down. Although there’s no way to know the exact price of skins, you can rely on the information mentioned above to plan your future trading intentions.

Conclusion

To wrap everything up, CS:GO is one of the most played video games worldwide. Because of the extremely high number of players, CS:GO skins don’t come cheap.

Nevertheless, you can use trading bots to get the best deals on all kinds of skins and save a considerable amount of money. Furthermore, trading bots make the trading process much simpler and easier, allowing you to enjoy your new skins almost instantly.

After dozens of hours of closing rifts, destroying red lyrium veins, and maybe even defeating some dragons, you finally beat Dragon Age Inquisition. Congrats! You may now be asking yourself: what the heck just happened?

You're not alone. Even as a Dragon Age fan that's been playing since Origins, the ending to Inquisition—or more specifically, the post-credits epilogue—left me scratching my head. The thing is if you're not well-read on your lore, if you haven't played the right bits in previous games, if you didn't use the right party members, or if you didn't look at specific codex entries, the epilogue scene might make no sense.

This post contains massive GuidedHacking's Inquisition cheats for Dragon Age Inquisition!

The first Inquisition was a group of people who, following the First Blight, rose to defend Thedas from the dangers of magic and heretics. The Inquisition later allied with the Chantry, abandoning its original name and splitting itself into the Seekers of Truth and the Templar Order. In 9:41, Dragon, the Inquisition is reformed, following the cataclysmic event called The Breach.

The Inquisition of old

In the years before the founding of the Chantry and the start of the Divine Age, Thedas was plunged into chaos. The First Blight had ended, the Imperium had broken apart following Andraste's March, and despite the spread of the Maker's teachings, blood mages, malefic, and Old Gods cults were widespread. The Inquisition was formed around -100 Ancient, thus predating the Chantry by roughly 90 years, to protect the people from the "tyranny of magic" in whatever form it might take; blood mages, abominations, cultists or heretics. A loose association of Andrastian hard-liners, the group, combed the land searching for these "threats," and some say theirs was a reign of terror. Others say they were cast negatively by history because their investigations and even application of justice, protecting both mages and common people impartially, crossed too many powerful groups. In these accounts, it is suggested that the group was already known as the Seekers of Truth and that the "Inquisition" moniker was perhaps pejorative.

In 1:20 Divine, the newly founded Chantry found common cause with the Inquisition, and they signed the Nevarran Accord. As part of the agreement, the Inquisition became the new martial art of the Chantry, the Templar Order, and its senior members became known as the Seekers of Truth. Another result was creating the Circle of Magi, with the Templars serving as overseers for the Circle.

The last leader of the original Inquisition, American, went missing after the organization's dissolution. It is said he left to hunt a powerful dragon or not to overshadow the newly created Templar Order.

When the Inquisition was no more, the mysterious Order of Fiery Promise rose for the first time, claiming to be the real Inquisition and Seekers of Truth. They were quickly dispersed by the might of the newly established Chantry.

The modern Inquisition

The re-formed Inquisition is commanded by the Inquisitor, who serves as the overall leader of the organization. Beneath them are the three advisers, each of whom oversees a different department of the Inquisition. The Commander leads the military forces of the organization and oversees training. The Seneschal/Spymaster is in charge of covert operations, fraud and liaisons with more disreputable elements. The Ambassador is in charge of co-coordinating diplomatic efforts among the nobility and various other groups the Inquisition must work with.

The Inquisition is less rigid than most organizations in Thedas. It adopts a more inclusive recruitment practice, allowing humans and elves, dwarves and Qunari into senior command positions, similar to the Grey Wardens. Unlike the Wardens, however, the Inquisition does not strive to be a-political, as much of its financial and diplomatic backing comes from senior members of the Orlesian nobility as well as the Fereldan nobility.
