I reach out and take it a little cack-handedly, like I’m wearing thick ski gloves.“Go ahead, drink some,” he encourages.I bring the bottle up to my face and upend it. Water pours out over my face. I laugh.“That’s amazing!” I say.“Yeah, they’ve put water bottles and drinking fountains all over the place in here to remind people to drink water in

I put on my Oculus Quest a week ago. Here’s everything I’ve learnt since then.Beat Saber, a dance/exercise/lightsabre mashup, made this crystal clear to me.Firstly, I noticed a huge difference in engagement when I got my whole body involved in the game.I was definitely in flow while I was using just my arms to smash blocks in time to music.But when I loaded up Fitbeat, a workout focused, free in-game DLC, I had to get my legs and core really working too.As a result of getting my whole body in

by MizenhauerStarCraft II was always destined for great things.Its predecessor, Brood War, was the product of a bygone era where game developers weren’t concerned with balancing the game for full-time professionals, the concept of esports was mostly limited to a convention center in Mesquite, Texas and most people didn’t even have high speed internet. None of that mattered six-thousand miles away from Blizzard headquarters in South Korea, where Brood War became an unprecedented cultural phenomenon. An economic downturn, the proliferation of net cafes and high speed internet, and plain dumb

by Petar Vukobrat in General | Jul, 11th 2020 Esports game developers have a fairly unique role in the industry, especially when it comes to community engagement and development. A standard game studio develops a product from start to finish, after which they release their game into the wild and breathe a sigh of relief. Their complicated and challenging journey has a beginning, middle, and an end, and how long these time frames last depends solely on the title they’re working on, with little to no interaction or feedback with

by Petar Vukobrat in League of Legends | Jul, 11th 2020 Narratives are the heart of competitive League, which holds true for the LEC as much as it does for any other region. They’re the reason we all tune in, the reason we care, and why we hold this scene so close to our hearts. The best ones spring out of nowhere when we least expect and end up defining not just a certain team or region but also the season. We race to our seats, hoping to see history

Last month’s Itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality was a massive hit with gamers, raising over eight million dollars for the NAACP and Community Bail Fund. The key to its success was the sheer size of its offering for a $5 minimum donation: 1,741 products from 1,391 different creators. It’s a motley collection of video games, development tools, tabletop RPGs, comics and zines. There are some well-known titles in there like Night in the Woods and Octodad, but sorting through the rest of the pile is an absolutely massive

CarcinogenSDA—who prefers to be known by his online handle, or "Carci," as many of his fans call him—has built a fanbase by combining the best of both worlds: He'll stream anything, but his streams
