Path of Exile announces its first Race Season
I am thoroughly enjoying my time with Path of Exile's open beta, more than I ever thought I would. It's just so finely crafted with a strong love for the genre that I can't help but feel endeared. Races are one of the many unique systems at play, allowing players to compete against each other with certain conditions at specific times. The schedule for the first season of races has just been announced, as well as the swanky prizes for competing. Races use a fresh economy to test a player's skill, usually seeing who can level up the highest and fastest. Though I doubt I can compete with any of the pros, I'm definitely going to give some of these events a shot. I really want those Facebreaker gloves to use in my future unarmed build. Did you know?

12:00 PM on 05.18.2013 Preview: The Last of UsI was skeptical of The Last of Us. Despite all the hype and high promises, to me, it looked like post-apocalyptic Uncharted. I wasn't sold on the dynamic nature of how the game progressed, and as we all know, zombies have been literally done to death in the past five years. Then, I got a chance to actually play it. How many days until June 14th again?

3:30 PM on 05.16.2013 Watch the worst Fallout game ever madeJordan and I have started a new game in our Couch Campaign, and it's one that I have been excited to play since we first began talking about the project. As a huge fan of the Fallout franchise and a lover of top-down, exploration shoot-em-up games, the pairing of the two could have been glorious. And Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel is, provided you think train wrecks can be glorious.
