I'm Back On Twitch!


Well you probably didn't even know I left. But lets not even talk about that!!

I have come back to twitch twice as strong as last time. I am doing some solo streaming, but many party streams! Me and my friends love to play split screen HALO 4, HALO Master Chief Collection, and Star Wars Battlefront 1 & 2.

How To Support Your Favorite Youtuber (without dipping into your pocket)

Well as it turns out there are several ways you can do this. These tricks can also be used on any kind of channel, not just gaming.
The first, and easiest, way is to just watch their videos. Just by clicking on a youtuber's videos they get paid. Not only because of the ads you see on the video itself, but also the ads off to the side:
The second way to support a youtuber would be liking their videos. The more likes a video gets, the more the video will show up in other people's feeds. This multiplies the first effect because now more people are watching the videos and seeing the ads.

The third way to support youtubers is to just click the ads on their videos. BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS ONE. If you click the ads on all their videos their account will be suspended or SHUT DOWN. So do this last one only every once in a while, PLEASE!!! It would help the money get passed around a little more fairly.

RECAP
  1. Watch all their videos
  2. Like all their videos
  3. SOMETIMES click their ads

HALO 5: Guardians Might Be The End Of HALO?!?


WOW so you're probably here to see why I would think something as "crazy" as this, but in fact this idea is not too far fetched.
HALO started out making the first three a slow, grand shooter series. No sprint just pure wits and skill.
Then along came Reach. UGH...
Then came HALO Wars. Remember that? Sorry for the reminder.
Finally HALO 4 came on the scene. It was a return to Master Chief, newer HD graphics, and.....a sprint ability?!?! Where did this come from?!? Well they actually did try it out in Reach as an armor ability, but it wasn't forced onto every player such as in HALO 4. The HALO community got really upset over this and some people stuck to HALO 3.

Now with the upcoming HALO 5 Guardians many more HALO core gamers are mad because not only is their sprinting; but there is also boost, aim down sights, and THE ABILITY TO HOVER?!?! WTF???
Now obviously this new HALO has come about because of outside influences like Call of Duty, Counter Strike/Global Offensive, Titainfall, and its own internal influence: HALO 4. Will the new people that are drawn to HALO because of the changes offset those who are leaving?  "343" obviously thinks so because they even made a new game-type to cater to the up-and-coming genre of E-sports.
I am of course referring to Arena. It screams E-sports in every aspect. Now if HALO became as big of an E-sport as Counter Strike then this would be worth it for "343" but would this really be HALO? Yes, it would have the 'Chief in it. Yes, it would have all the guns (now with ADS). BUT IS THIS HALO?!?!?  NO!!  Where is the glorious campaign?  We will just have to wait and find out.
As Runner182 puts it: "These new features had better tie into this campaign..." Heres hopin'.

EDIT: As a side note HALO does have a movie, tv series, and now the russian online only version. these are other ways that 343 are making money and can funnel these funds toward their main course: more and more HALO games.

COD Black Ops 3 WILL SUCK?

Call of Duty is in trouble. They messed up on Ghosts and they did't do us right on Advanced Warfare. Critics say it was a pretty good game (IGN gave it a 10, Metacritic gave it an 80), HOWEVER the polls on Metecritic say it wasn't so hot; an average of 5.2. Why don't people like it?

Well here is where it gets dicey. Apparently COD favors the noobs and pulls back on the expirienced players. In ranked play your suppose to be playing with people of the same skill level as you, but that is not usually the case. What actually happens is you are put in with whoever is available  and then the hit registration is put up if your bad and down if your good.
Another issue is the ExoSuits. People like the conceps, but after putting in hours and hours the ExoSuit just becomes an annoying addition to the game. You might have shot a guy 4 times in the back but he will boost away and hit you once and YOU die.

So when Call of Duty teased Black Ops 3 people perked up. Would this be a return to the previous glory of COD?!? Sadly it seems not, because their web site has this to say:

"Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 deploys players into a dark, twisted future where a new breed of Black Ops soldier emerges and the lines are blurred between our own humanity and the technology we created to stay ahead, in a world where cutting-edge military robotics define warfare."
The words "future" and "humanity/technology" are what gives it away.

GTA 5 Mods Are Off To A Slow Start


GTA 5 is finally here for the PC, and the question of the week is: where are all the moders? Well they were waiting for the smartest of their group to give them the key to unlock the game for mods, but now they can already get it from a modder group in Russia. So get your eyes and fingers ready for the moding to come soon. So far the only mods are the ones made by this group (one is infinite health and ammo; and another is enhanced field of view), but more are on the way!

Higher graphics, framerate, or resolution?

Would you rather play your game at ultra settings in 1080p, or medium settings at 4K?
Would you rather play your game at 60 or 120 fps  in 1080p, or 40 or 50 fps at 4K?

Is 1440p really the best of both worlds? Which one of the three main factors is most important to you? Let me know what you think in the comments!

Phones Are Video Game Worthy?!? What is next for 2015?

Phones will very soon be top tier game worthy. The Unreal engine 4 demo, used for the launch of the Xbox ONE, was used again for this PHONE GPU CHIP!


Are you starting to connect the dots on this chip to the most current gaming news? Recently Windows has released their plans for cross buy and cross play between the Xbox ONE and windows 10. This is probably A part of the reason to release Windows 10 as a free upgrade. Imagine playing a game on your Xbox and your friend says, "Hey come over. HALO party at my place." What that use to mean was unplugging your whole setup and hooking it back in at his house. What that could mean now is you just walk in with your phone and a controller. Game parties are going to be able to be bigger than ever.

You might be thinking that that is just preposterous! Phones cant be as fast as a big console. That is where you would be wrong. The X1 uses 1/10th the watts to achieve the same performance as an Xbox ONE; as proved by the Unreal 4 demo.

In fact, the X1 be used to create a console that is BETTER than the Xbox ONE. Snail Games has proved this with their release of the OBox (AKA Online Box). 


At the end he said the OBox can play games at 4K right now, and the Xbox currently cannot (though they shipped with an HDMI 2 cable capable of 4K, so that is something they want to be able to do). But the X1 is even better than than just 4K, because Nvidia says it can do 4K at 60hz (FPS).
This means that if developers were to put their games on the current consoles and the OBox, the OBox would have the best resolution and frame rate!! (excluding PC of course)

FOOD FOR THOUGHT...
