10 ways to instantly end your streaming career To end—or ignite??—your streaming career, you need to get naked, say naughty words, lie, and cheat.
At one time the only way to produce and distribute video content was to be part of a huge Hollywood studio. The only way to STAR in video content was to have sex with the director before reaching the age of 15. A small sacrifice to make for the chance to get thousands of eyes on your talent. Today, a 15 year old doesn’t need to submit sexually to a series of industry producers, they only need to be good at Fortnite. We’ve come a long way from the days of Hollywood pedos controlling content. In the future the world will be divided into two types of people: content creators,…

Train Simulator now costs almost $10,000 with all DLCs You can buy a brand new car for less.
Meet Dovetail Games’ Train Simulator – currently the most expensive video game on Steam. The asking price isn’t much: a mere $30 depending on the region you’re in. It’s what comes after, if you want to get a good set of trains to play with, that makes the game run up a whopping total. (This is not counting gambling programs or being a whale in a mobile game like Clash of Clans, of course, where you can throw away millions if you’d like) As calculated on Steam itself per November 3, 2019, you’re going to need a grand total of $9,765.47 to own every single piece of downloadable content (DLC)…

An army of angry Winnie the Poohs is preparing to storm this year’s BlizzCon "They can't ban us all."
Everyone is expecting this year’s BlizzCon to be a shitshow of epic proportions, and for good reasons. Now it looks like the Blizzard/China hullabaloo is even going to result in an army of Winnie the Pooh costumed activists trying to force themselves into the event. Winnie the Pooh has been banned in China ever since someone noticed the bear bears a striking resemblance to Xi Jinping. You may have already seen the many memes saying as much. This is what we need at Blizzcon, except with Winnie the Pooh.#BoycottBlizzcon #BoycottBlizzard pic.twitter.com/1aVWK1irsG — Klara Sjöberg (@klara_sjo) October 13, 2019 Winnie the Pooh cosplayers preparing to enter Blizzcon pic.twitter.com/9d3Ehir7nv — 🧸Jasmin🧸 (@Sleepy_Jasmin)…

Steam’s worst rated games of all time We decided to scrape the bottom of the Steam marketplace barrel and write about what we find.
Since Steam ended their Greenlight policy and opened the floodgates to anyone with a free copy of Unity and a bit of spare time, Steam’s mountains of crappy games have been the subject of some derision. It’s probably not a plot to send more traffic to curators and reviewers – … but it could be. Instead of shilling games you should buy right now, we decided to scrape the bottom of the barrel – some of the worst rated games around – and write about what we find. Most of these are not Tommy Wiseau tier games, entertainment so bad it actually becomes good again. So ask yourself why you…

Blizzard suspends Hearthstone champion Blitzchung for supporting Hong Kong The video game developer/publisher is the latest corporation to publicly humiliate itself in service of Chinese masters.
Hong Kong-based Hearthstone champion Ng Wai Chung, better known as “Blitzchung,” has been removed from Hearthstone Grandmasters after pro-Hong Kong comments made in a post-match interview this weekend. During the interview, the professional Hearthstone player expressed his support for the Hong Kong protest movement and stated, “Liberate Hong Kong! Revolution of our age!” Video below: [BREAKING] Hong Kong Hearthstone player @blitzchungHS calls for liberation of his country in post-game interview:https://t.co/3AgQAaPioj @Matthieist #Hearthstone pic.twitter.com/DnaMSEaM4g — Inven Global (@InvenGlobal) October 6, 2019 Blizzard acted quickly and deleted the video on-demand of the interview from their official Twitch channel.

Woo-Hoo! The making of Stranglehold "There were definitely moments that made you feel like you're in a John Woo movie."
Brian Eddy had set his sights on making games early. “I started when I was about 12 years old on Commodore VIC-20,” he says. “I wrote some games and some applications and sold them to magazines and things like that.” Years later, a 21 year old Eddy on holiday in Chicago saw a newspaper ad that read “GAMES, GAMES, GAMES!”. He remembers thinking: “‘Well, that sounds great. That’s exactly what I want to do.” Chance met preparation. Eddy answered the ad and landed a dream job at a pinball powerhouse Williams (today operating as WMS Industries), which had recently acquired a video game subsidiary in Midway Games. But it would…

Steam game offers 41% discount and now people want the devs dead And the harassment campaign is backfiring big time, with Heartbeat shooting up the bestseller charts after support from prominent anti-bully activist.
The transvestite community’s campaign against indie RPG Heartbeat has reached a fever pitch after learning that Chumbosoft is discounting their game by 41% on Steam, with some now even calling for the developers to be executed. The number 41 is interpreted as a reference to the attempted suicide rate among men who suffer from a mental illness that causes delusions about turning into women. One sicko with pronouns in they’s bio tweeted, “the devs of this game should not have beating hearts.” (archive) Not really one to support violence but damn if someone doxxes the guy who made #HEARTBEATRPG and their body ends up in a ditch somewhere i wouldn’t…

Friends and fellow youtubers – even Keemstar – have repeatedly tried to get him help, but Brian ‘Blade’ Risso, the semi-famous Call of Duty youtuber who now resorts to livestreams for drink donations, refuses any kind of treatment that might take him away from his daily routine of getting black out drunk to the point of urinating and defecating on himself. The lifestyle, combined with his diabetes, has exacted a terrible and grotesque toll on his now partially rotting body.

Critics bash ‘Rambo: Last Blood’ for its portrayal of Mexico and ‘latinx’ characters Critics are once again completely out of touch with viewers.
The fifth installment of “Rambo” series was released on Friday, and the movie had everything you would expect — Sylvester Stallone, guns, and lots of violence. Viewers were satisfied with the film, giving “Rambo: Last Blood” an 85 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. But this number is in stark contrast to the critic score of just 28 percent.
