Apex Legends Breaks Its All Time Concurrent Player Record On Steam

Apex Legends’ new season went off like a whoopie cushion with all that excitement cut down by server issues, but Respawn was quick to get on the case. They went back up even if fairly late - in GMT hours at least - and the momentum clearly hadn’t slowed down for many. In fact, players were so keen to dip into the latest season that it shattered its own concurrent record with an all-time peak of 241,882 Steam users....

Apex Legends is going into its fifth season soon, and has new content ready to keep players entertained. The newest legend, Loba, is popular with the community, and players are anxious to see how the changed map plays. Not all is well with the Apex Legends community however, particularly when it comes to matchmaking. Last year, Respawn Entertainment implemented Skill Based Matchmaking, or SBMM, for casual play in Apex Legends. Thus, players enter a game with other players of a similar skill level even in casual play....

90S Cartoon Characters You Forgot You Totally Crushed On As A Kid

When we weren’t allowed to play video games, we turned our attention to animated series. On Saturday morning, we willingly chose to turn off our Super Nintendo console to watch the latest cartoons. Not all games had exciting storylines, and there were more action-platformers than immersive role-playing games. Many of these cartoons held our interest longer than video games. As we watched these series, we became immersed in their stories. We found the characters relatable and felt their struggles as they attempted to take down evil....

A Friendly Reminder That Final Fantasy 7 Remake Has The Best Combat Since Batman Arkham Asylum

The recent reveal during Sony’s State of Play that Final Fantasy 7 Remake would be coming to the PS5 with some new DLC was the announcement of the stream, for me at least. I know we got some cool reveals and updates, but goddamn it I love this game. I’ve already written about how the addition of a photo mode makes it now a personally perfect game for me, but in that piece I mostly skimmed over the combat....

A History Of Sci Fi And Western Tv Crossovers

Space may be the final frontier, but the first frontier to capture the world’s imagination was the Wild West, a period in American history that held –and undoubtedly still holds – fascination for everyone from East Coast book-worms to Mongolian goat herders.

A Release Date For Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga Seems Overdue

2020 was a tough year for game developers. Studios of all sizes had to make the hard decision to push games back into 2021, meaning 2020 was unusually scarce on major releases. On the bright side, that means 2021 is going to be jam-packed with highly anticipated games. One of them is LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. The LEGO series of games is so omnipresent that it’s odd to think that the series has ever stopped....

Adios Review The Most Charming Euthanization Of A Lonely Old Man

Most people don’t have the pleasure of choosing exactly when and how they will die. Even fewer get to spend the day palling around with their killer. This is the setup for Adios, an hour-long piece of interactive theater about a pig farmer that no longer wants to get rid of bodies for the mob. At the start, I couldn’t imagine a more dreadful experience than consorting with death itself, but Adios subverted the expectation by giving the power to the victim, not the killer....

Adult Swim Takes Jab At Call Of Duty Modern Warfare

It’s easy to see why Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is so popular, ranging from the constant updates and new playlists to the additions of interesting operations and more. This constant support is a bit of a double-edged sword, though, as the file size of Modern Warfare is outrageous. Nearly 200 GBs across most platforms, fans have been looking at Infinity Ward to do something about the constant growth. After all, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Season 4 is right around the corner and is likely to bump that even higher, while Infinity Ward has promised to look into ways to better partition the data....
