Warcraft III: Reforged is yet more proof Blizzard’s not the company it once was User score: 0.5. Beyond the visual downgrades, visual glitches, stutters, crashes, missing features, and connectivity issues, Blizzard now has a total disconnect with its audience.
Blizzard used to be synonymous with addicting and highly polished games, and had Midas’ golden touch for anything to do with entertainment. Now it seems as if the company is almost intentionally trying to show us just how much they just don’t give a shit. The recent launch of Warcraft III: Reforged is just the latest demonstration of the fact. The only reason this controversy has blown up at all is because it’s a remaster of a cherished classic game that was made back when Blizzard still had people with a passion for video games. Media outlets like Newsweek — while acknowledging the sorry state of the game at launch…

Huge leak reveals Boogie2988 lied about swatting All of Boogie's lies and manipulation should be blamed on anonymous FBI friends, he now claims in damage control video.
Judging by his own Twitter feed — it reads like a constant stream of pityfishing and threats to leave social media and/or commit suicide — there is no shortage of drama surrounding online personality Steven Jay Williams, better known as Boogie2988. But as documented in a huge DM leak on the r/SamandTolki subreddit, the youtuber now admits to making false allegations of swatting as part of a scheme to get back at his “haters.” “Should I finally tell you guys the truth or should I keep milking this one. […] I was shocked to see they latched on to the swatting thing,” Boogie2988 told the “hater” recipient of his flood…

Former jewel thief reviews GTA 5’s jewelry heists A former jewel thief has taken Grand Theft Auto 5’s heists to task, and explains how he would have done it instead.
Youth crime prevention advocate and former jewel thief, Larry Lawton, took to YouTube to review GTA 5’s jewel heist missions, picking apart the details and explaining how Rockstar got it wrong. “I understand it’s a game, but I am to this day considered the biggest jewel robber in the United States,” he said. “And I’m gonna tell you how I would have done it. And what the game did a little off,” he said, introducing viewers to his review. Lawton says that Michael’s attempt to case the store, as depicted in the game, was “sloppy.” “As he’s casing the place, he’s taking pictures. Very conspicuous. You don’t think they would…

Twitch streamer brags she can’t get banned for nudity, immediately gets banned for nudity (NSFW) “Jeff [Bezos] lets me take my clothes off on Twitch. I've done it four times.”
Twitch streamer Wintrycelll had all the reasons in the world to feel confident she would get away with streaming in the nude. Twitch notoriously bans male streamers for the smallest infractions, while female streamers can stream animal torture and beastiality with no consequence. She’s also gotten away with streaming in the nude in the past — a total of four times, she says — which she attributes to her alleged friendly relations with Twitch/Amazon owner Jeff Bezos. But five appears to be the magic number in her case. “Jeff lets me take my clothes off on Twitch,” Wintrycelll bragged to her cohosts while playing GTA. “I can get naked right…

Here are the most interesting finds from the FBI GamerGate files Drama queens and furious transvestites, we've got it all.
The FBI has finally released their files on the “GamerGate” movement, and it’s hilarious — and sad. The FBI Records Vault for GamerGate shows that most of their stuff is reams upon reams of complaints by drama queens from both sides of the issue. It’s now abundantly clear that GamerGate was completely blown out of proportion by a few people who took internet way too seriously. Gamergate: https://t.co/d3a991bRRF — FBI Records Vault (@FBIRecordsVault) November 29, 2019 So let’s dig in. One genius on the GamerGate side had the idea to make an official FBI complaint against Feminist Frequency founder Anita Sarkeesian for being lazy on Patreon. In case you’re not…

TrainwrecksTV: Twitch forced me to turn down $1.2 million streaming deal "I was thinking of doing no camera streams and not telling Twitch."
Everyone is leaving Twitch and pretty soon it’ll just be Dr Disrespect and a bunch of titty streamers left. Maybe that’s his violent, speedy, momentously horny grand plan. Of course the reason for the desertion is a combination of Twitch sucking ass — speech codes, banning people for doing yoga in GTA, and other weirdo shit that happens when nasty old harpies run the show — and competitor streaming platforms outright paying popular streamers to move over. Now TrainwrecksTV, who is very handsome and cool, has revealed in an IRL stream with Esfand and that grandmother character from MTV that Twitch forced him to turn down a $1.2 million streaming…

IRL streamer catches guy blatantly hacking CS:GO at Dreamhack "Are you cheating?" "Yep."
The balls on this guy randomly caught by IRL streamer Benczek while filming at Dreamhack. He’s playing CS:GO with no less than three blatant hacks visible on his screen — in full view of everyone. Did you spot that? First there’s the third person mode to help him look around corners, definitely not a Counter-Strike feature. Then there’s the neon purple skins, allowing him to more easily see other players. Finally, there’s a bunnyjumping script to automate the speed boost that can result as a quirk of the physics in many games. When the cheater notices the camera, he smiles, knowing full well what Benczek is about to say. “Are…

10 times gamers IRL died on cam F in the chat.
We recently wrote about gamers shitting their pants from sheer dedication to gaming. Sadly, sometimes they also die from it. They’re mostly keeling over in their chairs from inactivity and stress induced complications, which isn’t so interesting. Other times gamers are just victims of circumstance like the rest of us and get shot up because the some psycho lost a Madden NFL game. We got together with experts from Pro-Papers and did our homework so we could highlight ten times gamers peaced out of this miserable existence doing what they love.

WATCH: mom rages on livestreaming son having a smelly gamer moment Gamers sometimes need to poop where they sit instead of wasting time going to the bathroom, but this mom won't tolerate gamer moments.
Mom rudely intrudes on a gamer’s Mafia III livestream and blurts out, “Get off your game, go to the bathroom, and take a shit. Now.” Not eliciting a response, she continues, “Bathroom and shit now! I can smell you!” The gamer is confused and unable to understand her rage, so she explains: “You’re SHITTING yourself. Poop is coming out of your fucking asshole! Go to the bathroom!” “Not yet.” The stream was originally posted to creeperman 90‘s YouTube channel but it has since been deleted. The problem of gamers catching flak for festering in their own feces is actually a lot more common than previously thought, proving gamers are truly…
