I'm Going to Raise Myself An Army: The Necromantic General
Branchae surveyed the field in front of him. He had thirty zombies in the field, twenty with swords and ten with bows, versus forty orcs. He smiled. He had his twenty swordszombies charge into battle and his ten bowzombies rain arrows on the orcs. His bowzombies would keep changing targets when their targets were eliminated, with one looking for the chieftain. He sent his crawling hand off around the bend to look for the orc leader. The orc leader saw the hand and charged it. The hand retreated and the chieftain followed it. Once he popped into sight of the bowzombies, Branchae had them change their targeting; the chieftain was quickly peppered with arrows. The orcs were easily cleaned up.

Which Game has Better PvP? Tarkov? Or Arc Raiders?
(Intro) One of the most important components in any extraction shooter is the ability to fight other players. It’s what gives this genre the reputation of being a difficult and sometimes arduous experience. It all hinges on your ability to fend off whatever computer opponents the game throws at you, on top of being able to work around other players. Sometimes, you might be able to persuade someone with your voice that you don’t want to fight, but that isn’t always going to work. There are players specifically looking for combat, especially once they have gotten through a majority of the game’s content and are deep enough into it that losing gear isn’t a concern anymore. Which is a problem in itself, but regardless, the two big extraction games currently out right now are obviously Tarkov, and Arc Raiders, respectively. We may need to come back to this conversation once Marathon releases and if it’s good, include it and see where on the line it sits. But for now, I wanted to compare the two games’ PvP scenes. What the major differences are, where there are similarities and ask the question of is one game’s combat superior to the other. After playing both back-to-back, looking at the footage and just assessing what makes these games tick, the answer isn’t as black and white as you might expect.

The Human Encyclopedia: The Scholar Wizard Subclass
Xavier glared at Ganor for the thousandth time. The barbarian wanted a flame for light and the books were the obvious source. The barbarian just want to fulfill a pyromaniac urge, but the scholar needed the books to solve the riddle before them and allow them freedom from the cell they were in. He looked at the books, his background in history helping to figure out which book held the answer to their predicament, and by chance he picked the right book. He translated a passage, and discovered that the solution to the riddle required mixing the chemicals in the right order. He smiled at the memory of his mentor Sandrarius, who had drilled basic alchemy into his head, and through the mixture at the given target.

Honkai: Star Rail: Comprehensive Evaluation of Yaoguang, Huohua, and the New Elation System
The arrival of the Path of Elation has fundamentally shifted the combat meta in Honkai: Star Rail, introducing a unique synergy centered around the "Aha Moment" and specialized Elation Skills. Unlike traditional paths, Elation characters possess specific Elation Skills that trigger collectively when the "Aha Moment" reaches the top of the action bar. This mechanic acts as a communal turn where all Elation units in the party unleash their specialized attacks in a fixed order determined by their performance numbers. The frequency of these moments is influenced by the characters' speed, typically cycling every 120 to 130 action value points. Crucially, Elation Damage operates on a distinct calculation logic; it ignores conventional ATK and DMG Boost stats, scaling instead with character level, Elation Intensity, and accumulated Laughter Points.

Who Says There's Not Enough Room? The Exploding Wizard Subclass
Rollo readied his fireball. He didn’t care that he was in room that was just a 20-feet cube or that several party members were within range; he would just put each in a bubble that would shield them from the bulk of the flames. He just wanted to show the trolls who was boss. He let loose with the spell after giving his party mates minimal damage. He flipped a mental switch to up the flames, and he felt some of the burn himself. THE TROLLS WERE INCINERATED! However, the cleric and paladin gave him an icy glare; he would yet again be paying to have the party healed….

LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE: Wrestling Wizard Subclass
Rothaar saw the orc rush the party. So he rushed the orc. Summoning his inner fire, he cloaked himself in a fiery sheath. He then reached down into his primal fury and raged fiery hot. He flung himself at the muscular humanoid, putting it into a chokehold. He grappled the orc to the ground and held it there until it was a burning corpse. He looked around for a moment, then smiled: He had found another target.

Diablo 4 Season 11 Wing Slash Paladin Is Insane
Season 11 gave Paladins a pretty dramatic shake-up, especially if you were using Wing Slash while leveling. Once you unlock the Arbiter Form through the level 15 Disciple Oath quest, the skill evolves into Wing Strikes, and the difference is night and day. Instead of just dashing around with Advance, you're gliding with wings, landing into radiant explosions that clear packs almost instantly. It feels fast, flashy, and very fluid — a lot of players compare the vibe to going full "Super Saiyan," just flying through mobs while everything pops around you.

Gaming is Lonely Sometimes
(Intro) Video games can be an exhilarating and collaborative experience for many. Whether it’s fighting a raid boss in an MMO, or working together as a team in an FPS to capture the final objective and win the game, as the rise of online games have grown within the last decade, so too has the desire to be around other players and be social with one another. It’s almost become a necessity for many games to have open worlds or hub areas where players can simply hang out, interact and get to know one another. And as amazing as those experiences can be, sometimes, even when you’re surrounded by like-minded people all working towards a similar goal, it can feel… lonely. Which feels like an odd statement to make, but I would imagine it’s a very similar feeling to being at a party or family gathering and just feeling alone. You try to socialize and be a part of the group, but it’s more comfortable to sit on the sidelines and watch things from afar. Maybe there isn’t anyone around your age, maybe you just are unfamiliar with your extended family because there are so many of them, these feelings can really be for any reason. I could just be projecting a lot of my own personal insecurities right now, but sometimes, even in games where there are players as far as the eye can see, gaming can feel lonely. At least, to me.

Why World of Warcraft on Console Suddenly Makes Sense
It’s been a long time since people were able to play WoW on a controller using third-party software, and lately it’s become especially popular on handheld devices like the Steam Deck. Despite that, there is still no official controller support for WoW. Especially last year, many people have speculated that ability pruning and general simplification are actually preparation for WoW eventually moving to consoles. The recent addition of a one button rotation only added fuel to that discussion. For most players who would use it, it wouldn’t really make a difference in performance anyway, since it’s clearly not aimed at endgame players.

Behind Every Game Are People
Today, everyone wants to express their opinion. And while it shouldn’t be questionable that everyone should have the freedom to express their thoughts, I can’t help but wonder: are people mistaking opinions for hatred and bluntness? This goes a long way for gamers and game developers alike.
