I'd like to recommend that we completely ignore articles dealing with video games causing violence. I am willing to accept the fact that someone playing Call of Duty might be influenced to violence by it. However, I make that claim based on the assumption that the person playing Call of Duty is...

Hey guys, kinda curious to find out if we have any League of Legends players on here? I peaked 1600 elo on NA, then took a 3 month break which destroyed my elo/skill. Now I transferred to Eu West and I'm doing really well. Still leveling up to 30 to start ranked but I'm a way better player now...

Sup Gentlemen, I've been a forum member since before it was cool. I just mainly lurk like the creepy dude at a club with his hands in his pocket. HOWEVER, I figured I'd contribute to this forum by giving my experience in competitive gaming. Love it or hate it, I've got some interesting history...

Just found this on TeamLiquid and figured I'd repost here. I won't post any pictures but I'll put the link (and I'll leave it's removal to moderator discretion -- no nudity but pretty close). The two top Russian/worldwide CS 1.6 teams were having a pretty casual LAN and someone paid of strippers...

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I love RPGs, so when they started coming out with all the MMO-RPG addaptions, I was pretty thrilled to get onboard. I started with RuneScape ( :( ) and moved on to games like GuildWars, then a long WoW stint. I tried finding other MMOs, even tried a...

This is actually really cool. And should add to the hype of Mortal Kombat 9 :D http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/377529 It's an animation of...Mortal Kombat fighting Street Fighter. EDIT: Just try ignore the first 5 minutes.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=191080 Source Apparently they're building a Warcraft/Starcraft themed amusement park in China, set to open in May. Best gaming news of the year?

Hey guys, Not sure if you all know this but doGaming is hosting a pretty big SC II tournament online (http://www.dogamingleague.co.za/stage.php?id=195&message=You%20have%20successfully%20joined%20this%20tournament!) PolarFluKe is also running its tournaments, which is awesome. My main reason...

Recently I've found a way of rushing silver league players to oblivion. I've gone on a 11-win-streak and counting. I should probably mention that despite all that, and my 60% win ratio, I haven't been promoted OUT of silver. That said, I'm enjoying yawning through the competition. It starts...

I was screwing around on Google Trends earlier today. I usually just find it funny if you get a good match up between trends (got the idea from here. I was first checking out band names, stuff like that, then figured, for the hell of it, I'd check the trends for satanism and child porn. At first...

I love encountering utter assholes in online games. Only problem is, I get really annoyed if they're better than me, because that just fuels it. While it's rare, it has occurred. On the alternate side, few things are better than raping them and ending with a comment like "Enjoy bronze league...

I've been doing 2v2, and the ranking matches were great fun, mainly because they were handleable. I played two matches against people who I am assuming, correctly, are Korean. They destroyed me in ways never before thought possible by the Western World. However, watching the replay was a great...

I just found out about this and was, excuse my coarse language, a-fucking-stounded. The World Cyber Games Tournament is basically the Olympics of gaming. It's like a breeding ground for nerds and attracts 1,000,000 players from around the world to watch 600 people mash keyboards. Seriously...

I wanna make a video of this but lately it's seemed impossible. Instead, I'll open this thread -- feel free to contribute your own stories. I had some time to kill today and decided to play a bit on Arena Tournament (Unofficial instant 80 instant Relentless Server -- quite fun to mess about...

Ignore the initial formality. Most gamers have probably heard of OnLive by now, but for those who haven't, OnLive is the latest development for gaming, the basic premise being that any games you play get streamed over the internet at 60FPS in HD, meaning highest quality with no lag. This also...
