Don’t Fear the FUD

Over the past week, the crypto market has taken a hit due to the usual Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) surrounding the potential for interest rate hikes and future regulations.

MonteCristo on Flashpoint’s role in the scene: “I think it’s really important that one of the tournament organisers is based in NA”

Last Escape: Streamer ‘CarcinogenSDA’ talks strategy for Resident Evil 3’s remake

One of the world's most popular Resident Evil runners reveals how he dissected Capcom's remake of Resident Evil 3, how he compares Nemesis with RE 2's Mr. X, and more.
