After a surprise 3-0 loss on H2K during the EU LCS promotion tournament, Kold would sign with NME, to help them qualify for the NA LCS.

After calling the management several times and not getting an

There's an important milestone in every adult's life when they realize that their parents aren't just monolithic figures known only as Mom and/or Dad, but people in their own right who have hopes, dreams, thoughts, and desires that have nothing to do with their children. That’s not exactly new territory in other art, but it's a rarity in games. In the few that do explore that idea, it's usually Dad who gets the attention. That makes Dontnod's Tell Me Why a fascinating anomaly right off the bat. It is, without

The Twilight Zone has always been political. Countless episodes of the original series tackled politics, directly as well as indirectly--from The Mirror, which parodied Fidel Castro, to The Shelter, which concerned the mutually assured destruction policies of the Cold War. Last year's Twilight Zone revival, publicly helmed by comedy and horror auteur Jordan Peele, trod a similar path, with mixed results (which is fine--there were episodes of the 1960s series that missed the mark as well). The reboot's second season, available now on CBS All Access, continues the tradition, and

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 includes a lot of moments that stick in the memory, for a variety of reasons. The 2009 game's campaign features a Russian invasion of the U.S., sees your player characters killed not once, but twice, and heralds the return of fan-favorite hero Captain Price.

“Gaming has changed,” I thought to myself as I slowly maneuvered past the young cosplayers crowding the halls at Gamescom, the largest gaming conference in Europe for players and industry professionals.I thought back to my childhood, and the games I grew up with. Mario and Sonic were still present, I could still find Street Fighter and Fallout merchandise, and FIFA 20 was, somewhat expectedly, huge. But that was pretty much it — the gaming universe I used to know, tucked in between massive displays of games I’ve never heard of.

If you’re wondering if I’m a gamer, I’m not.I don’t play video games every day, I don’t crowd my mobile phone with gaming apps, belong to any gaming community, I’m not even that good at them! However, from time to time, I do play a game or two. I’ll get excited and even start screaming to the lifeless screen in front of me — and that’s when my inner gamer, dormant most of the time, comes out to play.For this reason, going to Gamescom 2018 was an entirely new experience
