Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel is no stranger to getting chastised or even banned for his behavior online. Since 2019, the former professional Overwatch player has been temporarily removed from Twitch or other platforms four times, the most recent being a DMCA Twitter suspension for a 10-second clip xQc had posted of a livestream over a year prior. While that suspension might be for a tame reason, the streamer has been banned from Twitch in the past for stream sniping during a Fall Guys Twitch Rivals event, showing nudity on his channel while playing an adult-rated video game called Strip 4: Classmate Study, and for watching a YouTube video during his stream called “Safe For Work Porn” that turned out to not be safe for work....

As reported by PCGamesN, a quick scroll through NexusMods results in a whole host of fan-made mods being listed as “broken”....

Maybe that’s because the game’s single-player campaign hit storefronts on December 8th, while the multiplayer component was released earlier to a somewhat mixed reception. Ever since then, developer 343 Industries has been working to improve the free-to-play multiplayer portion of the game, and the multiplayer mode’s next major update is nearly available. Season 2 of Halo Infinite, dubbed “Lone Wolves,” will launch May 3rd at 11 AM PST....

October usually sees a small boom in “unusual” real estate offerings, usually due to their use as location in popular films and the annual rise in interest in places that present special challenges to buyers and/or renters. As your real estate broker, it is my pleasure to offer you several properties that have been on and off the market for years, and tend to become available again right around the Halloween season....

Skyrim launched six years ago, and players are still exploring the remarkable adventure that Bethesda crafted for them....

It was the biggest battle in the history of PvP and yet few gamers outside of the world of EVE Online even knew about it. The Battle of Asakai will gone down as a landmark event in CCP Games’ space sim, not just for the amount of gamers who participated, but also for its destruction. As with any meaningful battle, it all started with an economic misunderstanding, when a member of one faction, H A V O C, failed to make a payment to C O N C O R D in exchange for a relatively small system in B-R5RB....

Nintendo continues its trend away from the squeaky clean, family-friendly image that has followed the company for decades. The Switch has become a platform on which people can play a variety of games, ranging from those safe for kids to titles that are much more mature. And that tendency doesn’t look like it’ll be ending any time soon. In a recent Twitter post, game developer Destructive Creations revealed that a port of Hatred, its controversial Adults Only-rated title, will be coming to Nintendo’s console at an as-yet unannounced date....

This episode one review is spoiler-free. 1.1 Lyra’s Jordan Current wisdom teaches that the age of family home viewing is over; parents and kids no longer crowd around the TV in a tumble of wet-from-the-bath hair, pyjamas and shushing. Instead, they’re dispersed around the home and plugged into separate devices. That may be largely so, but it’s not the whole picture. In 2017, Ofcom reported that 70% of UK families still watch a shared TV programme at least once a week....
