Mindless bots, I believe it's fair to say, are a scourge in team-based competitive games like League of Legends . Fraud is also, um, not cool. By revamping LoL's refer-a-friend program, Riot is hoping to squash both with one giant fly swatter.
Max and I jumped into Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel so we could hang out with Sp'Australians (Space Australians), and look for Moon Wizards. Max doesn't really care for Borderlands, but I'm a big old dork for it. At least we can agree it's more interesting than Destiny .
I may not replay videogames very often, but when I do get the urge, it feels impossible to ignore. If it's an Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, or Wii game I feel compelled to revisit, that's no big deal at all -- there's still enough room for those titles on my shelves. Those systems are already set up.
But if I go back even one console generation further, I start running into issues. Say, for instance, I have the strange desire to play Treasure's GameCube platformer/beat-'em-up Wario World because, I don't know, I want to pile drive some dinosaurs into oblivion. I can't. My copy of the game is gone. I sold it, back when I thought that was a good idea. It wasn't.
Alien: Isolation is a damn gorgeous game—but sometimes, that beauty is difficult to appreciate while you're playing, what with a bloodthirsty Alien on your trail and all that.
We've all been there before -- a maddeningly difficult part of a videogame; you've been trying for hours to best it. You just can't. Maybe you never will. This might be impossible, actually. The developers must've been complete sadists to even include this. Bastards.
Then, like magic, the stars align for what looks to be one glorious run to put an end to this tedium. This is it! This is the one!
No, it's not. You've come up short yet again. There are two ways to deal with abject failure of this magnitude -- calmly deal with it in a rational manner like an adult, or smash the closest thing to you. Some of us resort to the latter.

It's always fun to see how trends wax and wane in video games. Almost every shooter that's come out in the past decade, for instance, has had to acknowledge the meteoric rise of Call of Duty and the fast-paced, twitchy sort of competitive gameplay it's popularized. Now, that influence seems to be slowly fading.
The original loot cave in Destiny is dead, but its spirit lives on. In fact... it may be haunted.
Why is there a Duck Dynasty game on Steam right now? Good question. Let's find out together.
