We also received confirmation this week from NetherRealm Studios that long-time Mortal Kombat veteral Liu Kang will be joining the Mortal Kombat X roster. With just a few weeks left until release, the Mortal Kombat developer is releasing information at a rapid rate, so we’re sure to see even more reveals and rumors hit the streets s
AHIII: I would love to be able to cast at a professional level where that could be my career. Right now, I’m an IT guy; I’m a systems engineer and my job is really cool. They let me work remotely while I was doing [ Heroes of the ] Dorm . That was an experience because they all know what I’m doing but, conceptually, I’m on vacation, I’m not there. No, I’m working two full-time jobs. I didn’t really have much free time to really do anything. I just love what I’m doing h
Anyone can empathize with getting a higher degree of education. The concept of playing a game and getting my tuition paid for makes it easy to empathize with all the teams. It also makes it that much more compelling because you’re like, “I like the story of this team. I want to see this team succeed; they’re really cool people,” and you want to get behind them and root for t
On the other side with Kentucky, RogerThat — one of the players — has a six-month-old. Winning this — taking the burden of college tuition off your shoulders at that point in your life — would be incredi
Shovel Knight was released back in 2014 but it just wasn’t enough. Luckily, Yacht Club Games came out with a whole new storyline and adventure centered around Plague Knight with Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows. In it we’re playing as one of the bad guys as we go off to do bad guy things, but is Plague Knight really all that bad? He’s definitely one of the most interesting characters in the MOBA game News and ditching the shovel in favor of potions and explosives is a great change of pace. Altering the story to fit Plague Knight is a great addition to the classic NES-style platformer. Playing through all the same levels we’re used to but as a different character bring a new perspective to the world. We can only hope every knight will get their chance in the spotlight.
The last matchup of the night. Université Laval has been a dominant force throughout the tournament, and they had no intention of slowing down with a shutout in the first match. However, University of Buffalo has earned their spot here in the Grand Finals proving that they were also a force to reckon w
AHIII: (laughs) It is still a mystery to me too. I started casting in January 2016. There’s a community effort called Chair League which is like Saturday night bowling. It’s for recreation; you do put a team together and there are standings but it’s for fun. They were looking for casters. I emailed the person who started it and said, “Hey, do you need another caster?” He was like, “Yeah, what experience do you have?” I had none but I just thought it would be c
For example, the semi-finals match: Laval vs. Kentucky. Laval, they love the concept of eSports but Laval as a school have yet to embrace it. They’re trying to be that lightning rod that says, “This is a thing. This is something that a lot of students have the passion for.” They want to be a spark to a legacy. Not only that, they are representing an entire country. Interviewing them yesterday, they said something like every Canadian team has reached out to them and congratulating t
By contrast, at the beginning of every Dota 2 match, the player starts with a clean slate. The only thing that carries over from previous matches is the player. League champions can start out with a core direction already built, perhaps taking attack runes and offensive masteries. But in Dota 2, similar traits can only be gained in-game. When a hero levels up, they can choose to rank up ‘talents’ rather than skills. These bonuses are unique to each hero, often offering players distinct, permanent choi
While League may be quicker and flashier, Dota 2 is a little more complicated, keeping many more facets from the original Dota . Yet, these qualities also continue to speak to their differing levels of success. In short, perhaps sales are the only way to substantiate the claim that a simpler, flashier game is bet
Eggsy (Egerton), Merlin (Strong) and Roxy (Sophie Cookson ) head to the United States to join forces with Statesman, Kingsman’s American counterpart, after the HQ is destroyed by Poppy (Moore), a nefarious criminal mastermind. We suspect this American heavy plot is where Tatum, Bridges, and Berry all show up and we couldn’t be more excited to see a followup to the surprise hit that director Matthew Vaughn left the X-Men franchise for. It was worth
I feel that way with for all four of these teams. It’ll be heartbreaking to see three teams not win but I’ll be happy to see one of them actually become heroes of the dorm. It’s very easy to find protagonists in this tournam
