'PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds': The Story Of Success And How One Game Built Itself Around Streamers
Rain is falling from the ominous clouds above, the smell of wet pavement and gunpowder has filled my nostrils. Before long, I realize I'm not alone here. There's 100 of us, some baring guns, others running around slugging others around the head. We're all the same in some way. Each of us are anticipating what's to come. We all know that the biggest fight for our survival is about to happen. We're already plotting out where we'll airdrop in, what our optimized gear will be, and what our personal weapon preferences are. It's a common trait for a survivor, for someone that knows only one of us will make it out alive.

Steam Summer Sale Dates Apparently Leaked — Here's How To Prepare
Every year, Steam users prepare their wallets for a big hit. It's a time of year when PC gamers huddle around their computers, painstakingly preparing a wish list of games, awaiting that moment said games post for heavily discounted prices ranging anywhere from 35–95 percent off. It's a tradition that's been going for years, yet never gets old.

Games, Bonding, And A Son's Love For His Father
He sits to attention, hands on mouse and keyboard, glasses dipped partially down over his nose, his cheeks tense with anticipation. His beard is now white at 59, his smile slightly more weathered than before, but his intent on besting whatever challenge is thrown up on screen has never wavered. For 31 years, I've shared these sorts of experiences with my father, and will cherish the time ahead now it seems so limited.

Hot on the Heels of Destiny: Rise of the Iron, Destiny 2 is Headed to PC
When thinking of the future of Destiny, it's hard to imagine where the series might go, what content we might see, and where we will find ourselves in the upcoming year. Many of us can imagine ourselves standing at the tower looking over the city, watching the denizens down below watching Guardians take flight in order to protect them, and to provide them with safety from unknown threats. In turn, many of us can also imagine a world where that safe haven has become compromised. A place where the Traveler has once more awakened in order to protect those people from "The Darkness".

PlayStation 4 Fans of 'Nioh' Aren't Happy About the PC Version
If you were to play the once-exclusive PlayStation 4 title #Nioh, you know that it's a uniquely layered experience. It's the one that can be deemed as a #DarkSouls-inspired experience through its take on combat and exploration. It's a title where the virtues of patience and the values of defense serve as important feats that gamers must master.

Epic Games Proves Cross-Platform Competitive Gaming is Completely Viable With 'Paragon'
There's always been something in the air about which platform is better for gaming. The debate has always been whether it's PC due to their capabilities with precise aiming using both mouse as well as keyboard, or if it's the controller due to the reliability that gamers find with their thumbsticks. Some may even say it's because of platform performance on why PC gamers and console gamers should remain separated. What if, however, one developer and or publisher decided to join the few that have already built a metaphorical bridge for that canyon and have allowed gamers to show off against one another?

Attention PC Gamers: Get Ready To Be a Lawbreaker!
If you don't know the name Cliff Bleszinski, then I'm probably not surprised, but if you don't know his work then I'd be thoroughly surprised. Cliff is a legend in the field of video game design. His first game was unveiled when he was only seventeen. It was a point-and-click adventure called The Palace of Deceit: Dragon's Plight. This game impressed the founder of Epic Games so much that he brought Cliff onto the team and they brought us many shareware games like Overkill, Brix, Jazz Jackrabbit, Radix: Beyond the Void eventually turning to the incredibly successful Unreal Tournament. Cliff later turned his attention towards Microsoft's Xbox 360 and served as the lead designer for the Gears of War ensemble of games. It turned out to be one of Microsoft's early defining properties and earned Bleszinski universal acclaim.

Extra Credit Day 6 Video Game Challenge: If Only I Wouldn't Have Played THAT Game
Now, before i get into this post let me say this: I love video games, all sorts of video games. I technically prefer role-playing games or first person shooters, but I'm not against trying new games when I have the opportunity. Yet there have been a few games that I have played that have been insanely popular, yet I wound up thinking to myself:

The First Touhou Game has Been Brought to Steam
Touhou Project, alternatively titled Project Shrine Maiden, is a long running series of bullet hell shooter (also refereed to as danmaku) games with an extensive fan base within Japan and a strong, and steadily growing, fan base within Western societies. Now, with the most recent edition to the series being available for purchase on Steam, is it time for this almost legendary series to receive a much wider recognition from a wider audience now that is much more easier to obtain a copy of one of the games?

New Games Vs. Old Computers
Up until pretty recently, I was always on the bleeding edge of technology, barely keeping up and definitely not meeting the cutting edge. I'd buy a game that looked fun to play, turn down all the settings ingame, and realize I was still getting low frames that caused the game to be jerky and mostly unplayable. Eventually I got sick of this, and started messing around trying to figure out a way to make these games work. There had to be a way, right? Sometimes, no. There are some games that just can't be played on some machines. If you have 4GB RAM, an integrated GFX card, and an Intel Pentium processor, don't expect to be playing Rust or Ark. Still, you should be able to play a lot of games that are just a few years old on a machine like that. Here's a few things to try, but keep in mind these are mostly tricks for Windows users, since Windows is the largest-supported gaming platform out right now:
