  1. The simple answer is yes. There's a lot of Esports teams that compete on racing sim' games covering all sorts of motorsports, include teams representing actual racing teams like Mclaren, Red Bull and Williams. As for getting involved, that's not a question I can answer and, to be honest, you're asking the wrong place. The best any of us can realistically do is Google it the same questions you should be asking.

  2. We have to give Brazil a lot of credit here for taking a stand against these wretched gaming companies practices. They have begun to illegalize Loot Boxes in video games. This could very well have a domino effect as other countries start doing similar things. What are your thoughts?

  3. Last I heard about Brazil's gaming scene it was difficult for all parties involved to break into, but when the country generates over a billion USD in revenue from this industry, I have to wonder if they're going to lose a significant amount by banning loot boxes. Perhaps this is going to be the first step to Brazil embracing video games better than it had before? Still, kudos to them all the same! ^^

  4. There are 7 billion humans. Some smart, some stupid, but how many are an actual genius? Think about all the things humans have created through our history. We have developed magnificent architecture when we didn't have all the modern technology. We have traveled to outer space and can communicate with anyone anywhere in an instant. From vehicles to designs on little pieces of jewelry. Paintings, sculptures, weapons, electricity; medication, medical tech, ships, and skyscrapers. 'We' are brilliant. But how many are 'we'? If I even think about how a person made a pair of shoes, I'm at a loss; or even my coat or jeans. I can forget about trying to build a cabin in the woods, or even make a bow and arrow. Is it only a small number of humans that give humanity an intelligent name? How many people do you know that creates things? What percent or how many of humans do you think puts our species on the intelligent list? I would say only a few thousand out of 7 billion.

  5. This won't be a popular opinion and I already regret it as it is a great chance to stick it to a company I hate, but I gotta be honest, the whole thing about them not including a charger with the iPhone didn't actually bother me. 99% of people who fit the combined requirements of both wealth and stupidity to actually buy and iPhone will have at least one USB charger at home already. So including a charger in the box means significantly larger boxes to ship. That means more manufacturing materials and processes used for the contents of the box and more trucks and shipping containers to ship less goods that had a higher cost financially, but more importantly, a higher cost to the environment. And all that for, in the case of 99% of customers, no good reason. So I'm actually fine with the idea of shipping such devices without the charging block just so long as the cable is still included, and if I remember correctly the iPhone still comes with a cable, just not the charge block. I will say this, though. I don't believe that the environment was the prime motive for Apple here because of the ridiculous price hike thier chargers suddenly had after this policy came in. Yes, there was a fine motive buried in there somewhere, but that wasn't their motive. The motive was to rip people off, so I offer Apple no sympathies at all.

  6. Me personally, most times it's with the lights off. As a matter of fact, I only turn back on the lights when I'm looking for something like the remote for instance.

  7. I'll definitely check it out because I always love when a game decides to implement some kind of philosophy into its design instead of the generic point/click/shoot mechanic with no meaningful story behind it.

    I was only kidding by the way - school exams are the best part of the year if you're prepared and the worse part if unprepared. I always hated going to classes when I was younger but I didn't mind the exams at all.

  9. Inside’s story is brilliant because it’s very “Show Don’t Tell”. Meaning there’s very little narrative exposition. It’s mostly environmental storytelling where you have to put the jigsaw pieces together yourself. Much like Bioshock, really. (You should definitely check out Bioshock at some point, dude!)

  10. A video game can serve many purposes, and it really depends on the person for which purpose it serves. For me, games are a form of escapism to relax and unwind from a hard days work or studying. I play computer games for solely entertainment reasons.

  12. Unfortunately. the only way you could do that in Skyrim is with mods but I agree, this should be a system implemented into future Elder Scrolls games. I'd also like them to make it so that the kids continuously train on their own as well and when you see them again, they'd get stronger.

  13. 1) Fools Rush in Where Daedra Fear to Tread. The first strategy is to not go. Fallout: New Vegas is full of 'shortcuts' that are incredibly dangerous to take, and are only recommended for people who have played the game at least once and know what they're missing out on. 2) More Fool Me. Turbo is a drug that slows down time by 35% for three seconds, with a stacking effect (meaning that the more you use it in quick succession, the more time slows down). Being a drug it's addictive, with a 20% chance of addiction upon each use. If you use Turbo 20 times over the course of the game, you get the "Fast Times" perk, which increases its length by 33% (a single second). This effect works with the Chemist and Day Tripper perks, both increasing the length of chem effects (Chemist is purchased on levelling up; Day Tripper requires the use of 25 addictive chems over the course of the game). Alternatively, you can go for the Implant GRX in the DLC, Old World Blues, but if you're unable to traverse the Quarry safely, you won't be able to get that implant with ease (it's non-addictive Turbo, unaffected by perks). I make a point of using and buffing Turbo because it's the safest way to deal with Deathclaws due to their immense size, strength and most importantly, speed. Make a point of getting Power Armour, weapons (Plasma's good for this) and perks that can better bypass damage threshhold (DT), and keeping a safe distance. If the enemy's drawing near and/or you're running out of Turbo, stock up on Buffout for the HP, Endurance and Strength bonuses (10% chance of addiction), and make sure you've always got more Fixer than you think you need to remove your addictions (though the Courier will fell nauseous, and suffer UI effects like blurred vision and wobbliness like a poison effect). 3) Fool me Twice. Don't just take a Fat Man and 3 Mini-Nukes and think that'll do the trick. Stock up on ammunition of weapons that can penetrate damage threshhold, and weapons that can do greater damage to a newly-fleshified target. Take a companion if you have to; Boone and E.D can highlight targets to do additional damage and shoot from a distance. Alternatively, a companion like Veronica can use her Power Fist to hit Deathclaws up close and personal. The more companions you have and the more you tweak their tactics via the Companion Wheel, the greater the chances targets will attack them rather than you. I hope that helps! Good luck!
