Imagine it's down to two teams in Apex Legends. Your squad is posted up in a two-story shack right in the middle of Swamps. As the circle closes in, each of you crouch in a corner waiting to hear footsteps. Your Caustic has peppered the house with traps, you've reloaded all your guns twice and topped off your armor. That's when you hear a Bloodhound ult as the final teams starts chucking grenades through the window. This is it, it's now or never, just as the Bloodhound comes up the stairs you whip your mouse around and take the shot, missing by an inch because your mouse cord snagged on the back of your desk! You lose the round, and of course, uninstall the g

Fortnite is on track to earn $3.5 billion this year in revenue by often treating its consumers with respect, and Apex Legends could have taken a slice of that pie were it not so focused only on having consumers spend in the game through predatory practices. This kind of behavior can only last for so long before even the most devoted fans of the game decide that they have had eno

Being a bit larger as whole, it packs in sprawling, abandoned cities, frozen, snow-covered locations, and a volcanic region complete with flowing lava. There are no supply ships to fight over, but there is a rad new loot-filled train that loops around the map. It's an absolute blast to explore, and the change of scenery was definitely a long time com

Once again, we need to compare this to Fortnite , the dominant game in the genre, which treats its consumers with far more respect. There is nothing random about purchasing items in that game. The item shop shows exactly what one will receive, theoretically leaving players satisfied with their purchase, and not let down at the randomness that comes with loot bo

Apex Legends ' third season went live last week, freshening up the free-to-play battle royale experience with an entire arsenal's worth of exciting new content and balancing adjustments. There's an inventive new weapon, a brand new Legend, and of course, an all new map. To sum it all up, this is definitely the biggest content update to hit the game so

The game differed from other Battle Royale titles in that players were grouped into squads of three, with diverse classes that demand strategy and careful consideration of playstyle, and weapons that were far more accurate than in other games. As a free-to-play game, Apex Legends looked as though it would skyrocket to the top and remain th

The Bunker S is ostensibly a headphone stand, but its the best headphone stand you're ever going to find. It too has an LED light ring and 2 USB ports, matching the Bunker RGB exactly. It also comes with a long arm for vertical holding and a short arm for horizontal holding. I've got mine mounted to the back of my monitor so that my headphones are always safe and tucked away when I'm not using them. It also projects the swirling rainbow lights on the wall behind my monitor which has an incredibly psychedelic effect at night that I'm just in love w

Hacker savant Crypto is all about surveillance, and his intelligence-gathering abilities give even Bloodhound's a run for their money. He can deploy and control an airborne drone to scout and mark enemies, and his ultimate allows it to produce a powerful EMP blast that stuns enemies, damages shields, and destroys traps over an impressively large rad

In most battle royale PS5 exclusive Games, duos games tend to play out more slowly than full squad games. Players aren’t always as aggressive since they have only one another to help them should they catch themselves in a bind. So, they tend to be more methodological, instead of focusing on reckless pushes and superior weapo

I also got to try out the massive Neon X 31.5 inch gaming mouse pad. I found it to be not only the best big mouse pad I've tried, but it's also wrapped with, you guessed it, customizable RGB lights! The mousepad is 4mm thick and spill-resistant (water just pools up in little drops on it; it's pretty cool), and the stitched lighting border makes it look fancy as all get out. You can set all of these devices to match a color or set them on a strobing rainbow if you just can't get enough pretty lights in your l

This is a solid combo for the team that plans to get sweaty. Both characters have abilities that allow them to reposition very quickly and dodge income bullets. Further, Octane’s health regeneration allows him to take some damage from the storm or distant sniper fire while Wraith’s phase ability can help her temporarily avoid damage completely in both of these situati

There were an awful lot of small tweaks made to weapon balancing, but here's the quick and dirty on what happened to your favorite guns. The R-99 probably got it worst, with some added randomness to its recoil pattern and a reduction in upgraded magazine size. The Prowler also took a hit, with a slight decrease to accur

If you’re in need of a keyboard that knows which key you’re going to push before you push it, the Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition Keyboard is exactly what you’re looking for. Okay, that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but this keyboard is quite possibly the most sensitive and responsive keyboard that I’ve ever used. This is no doubt due to the Razer Linear Optical Switches equipped to the keys, each with a durability of up to 100 million keystrokes and an optical actuation of 1.0mm. It doesn’t take much pressure for a key to be clic
