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.
Who was in the wrong here? A viral livestream video has a mom rudely intruding on a gamer’s Mafia III livestream to order her son to, “Get off your game, go to the bathroom, and take a shit. Now.” Not getting 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.

How to livestream video games for fun and profit 86% of young americans want to become online influencers, but few will. Here's how to build and monetize acareer in livestreaming — no tits required.
If you’re a young person, chances are you’ve already thought about turning your love for gaming into a career. A Morning Consult survey reported via CBS News shows that a mindboggling 86% of young americans now want to become online influencers, and 12% already consider themselves one. Strange figures considering only 1% of people on the internet actually create content. The culprit is likely the media’s endless barrage of reports of million dollar payouts for the biggest stars on Twitch and in pro gaming. Being a game streamer in particular can be a very lucrative affair, because there’s no doubt about the market for the content. The leading streaming platform…

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)…
