Hearthstone Streamer Finds Elaborate Sniper Plot Against Him

It’s hardly a secret that gaming is competitive. In a matter of minutes, a session of Overwatch can easily escalate from a way to unwind to an all-out digital brawl, with players screaming obscenities at one another and going to great lengths to defeat their enemies. But sometimes tactics to beat out opponents are more covert, slipping below the radar. Such is the case with Octavian Morosan, an avid Hearthstone player and streamer, who recently uncovered proof that a guild of fellow players have been sniping his games in order to thwart his wins....

Sega knows this, and it wants to change that. The last few years have been pretty unusual for Sonic. Three years have passed since the last main Sonic game, Sonic Forces, was released, and fans are still waiting for an announcement of a new game....

I Ruined My Own Childhood By Realizing That Ash Ketchum Is The Real Villain In Pokemon

The first ever episode of Pokemon aired two months before my third birthday. I lived with my gran at the time, who regularly minded two brothers that were slightly older than me. They were completely engrossed in the new craze, often waxing poetic about colossal turtles with cannons embedded in their shells, or fire-breathing dragons who stood upright on tree-trunk-sized hind legs. The phenomenon took root: every day after playschool (or kindergarten, for readers in the US) I would sit in front of the television and marvel at Ash Ketchum, my childhood hero....
