    My Hopes and Dreams of Wielding a Warhammer

    With Season 10 around the corner and the predicted release order thrown out the window with the upcoming addition of the Samurai’s axe-demon, it’s time to speculate (and pray) about the next release. The Viking’s warhammer wielding hero. Now it’s a 50/50 shot for the next release being a Viking or a Wu Lin, but I’m leaning Viking. Why? Simply put, the Wu Lin were just released at the end of last year, giving them the most “new” heroes as of late. So with the Tiandi, Nuxia, Shaolin, and Jian Jung still being 4 of the 6 newest heroes, it’s probably time for the Viking’s to get one, as the…

    The Unusual Silence of Siege

    Ubi has been oddly quiet about Siege lately. I’ve been trying to find things about the next season, but aside from some unconfirmed leaks and serverside updates, not much has been going on. So what are they doing? My speculation is the next season isn’t going to change much. They’ll release new operators and that’s it. I think they’ll focus on patching the game, like Operation Health did. It would be welcome, as the game was much improved after that season. Another round of fixes couldn’t hurt, and it also gives more time for them to plan something big. Time will tell, but it shouldn’t be much longer until we…

    The Thickest One to rule us all – Shugoki Guide

    Since Season 5 and the parry/guardbreak reworks Shugoki has been absolute trash tier. No mix ups, no soft feints, nothing. But that finally changed in Season 9. The Thicc Lad got a rework and now he’s a god among men. They gave this boy a whole new kit! New animations, new movesets, and gave him everything he didn’t have before. Soft feints and charged heavies and a viable demon’s embrace, oh my! No more passive hyper armor bs, but hyper armor on. every. attack. The headbutt now chains into attacks, the throws can transition to hugs, its everything we dreamed it would be. Now go, followers of the Thicc One,…

    The Samurai get a Horror Movie Villain as their New Hero

    Doll heads, fog, mask, and a creepy ass voice. Sakura is here to claim your soul. While the woman shown is Sakura, the class as a whole is called the Hitokiri. A Heavy, double headed axe wielding demon that seems to play like a slightly more graceful Shugoki while bringing the same punch. From what we’ve seen so far, she can do an infinite heavy chain that is broken by a light, and soft feint any heavy for a kick to the head or a sweep, guaranteeing an attack. She can also charge her heavies much like Shugo, so if you like him you’ll probably also like her. She’s due…

    Apex, Weekly Content and why you Should be Glad they don’t do it

    The past month has been a violent pile of, quite honestly, ridiculous claims. “Apex is dying!” “People have moved on!” “They didn’t put content out fast enough.” Just in case you aren’t picking up on the tone here, none of it is true. Respawn Entertainment, the minds behind the battle royale that took the gaming community by storm that brought in 25 million unique players in just under 2 weeks. Now that’s impressive. But as the weeks turned into a month and new content was demanded by the community, many turned their backs on the game. They had gotten used to the weekly content released by games like Fortnite and refused to…

    The Big Boys get their Buff

                    It’s long been known that when you play Gibraltar and Caustic that you put yourself at a disadvantage due to their large character rigs. While the last update fixed the issue enough for Pathfinder, these two were just too damn bulky for a hitbox tweak. Playing these two meant you were going to get shot more and go down more, flat out. So Respawn gave them both a new passive in addition to their current ones. The damage they take now is reduced by 10%, for everything. Body shots, headshots, melee, explosives, the works. This gives them an effective 110 HP, and…

    Ubisoft Learns how to Use the Reverse Card

    One of Siege’s biggest issue is teamkilling. Someone has a bad round, says something that gripes another, or even just trolls their team by shooting a couple of teammates in the head before being booted by the system. But with a new system implemented on the test servers, those days might soon be over. Thank. God. Over on the Siege TTS, a new report system is in place for when you get TK’d (Teamkilled). You can tell the server if it was an accident or not. If you say it was, it’s no harm no foul (besides you being dead). IF it wasn’t, though, the server remembers. We all ‘member. and the…

    Brace Yourselves, the Rabbids are Coming

    Men, we stand here today against our greatest enemy yet…. Dear God. Ubisoft, continuing with its April Fool’s shenanigans, added these little mongrels into For Honor this week. All minions are replaced with derpy rabbids, and all menu sounds now emit a shout, scream, or other squeaky toy-esk noise. While it’s less “in your face” than Siege’s April Fool content, the community is more split about it. Many site it as “too far” for the usually gritty and serious melee fighter, while others appreciate the joke. I rather enjoy the content, as its a fun character and rather enjoyable to smash dozens of them on the battlefield. Unlike Siege, however,…

    And as March turns to April, Siege gets Weird

    Hoooo boy. Embracing April Fool’s Day and it’s fringe community, Ubisoft decided to add a new game mode and some very out-there skins. Like, really out there: The game mode is a special Hostage, Plane only playlist, to save this guy: Yikes! Along with the game mode, there are a medley of skins, headgear, and charms to unlock. You get one special Alpha Pack for free, and one more if you complete the special challenge by destroying 40 attacker drones. That’s right, 40. I recommend picking either Bandit and setting up some quick shock wires, or Smoke since he has the least set up out of the limited defender choices…

    Did I Accidentally Launch Borderlands 2? – Season 1 of Apex Legends has Dropped!

    Is this now “old news?” Yes. Is this post abysmally late? Absolutely. But that won’t stop me! Apex Legends launched Season 1 and with it a Battle Pass, bought for 950 Apex Coins (Or roughly $9.50). It comes with a fair amount of features, all cosmetic. Skins for Legends and weapons, as well as new banners for season specific stats like wins and kills. Best of all though, if you level up the pass enough you gain 1000 Apex Coins, refunding your purchase! But the more important release was by far the new Legend, Octane; And boy can this sucker move. With abilities to increase his own and his teams…
