Class is in session, please silence your cell phones, and prepare to pay attention, because today, we're going over the Valentine's Day event for Fate/Grand Order NA: Chocolate Lady's Commotion.

I don't know about you, but I love me some Black Mirror. Season 4 started with a bang with a plot that could be said to involve a MMORPG of sorts. As per Black Mirror custom, a new technology product was quickly shown to be a hidden horror. But does it have to be that way? Can MMORPGs be used [...]

There's no question to e-sports scene is growing, but despite all the hype I'm just not convinced its quite 'taken off' just yet.

Another year has come and gone. 2017 has been a great year in gaming, we've seen newcomers rise to the very top (PUBG), while many older titles have seen massive improvements (Path of Exile, Warframe, Final Fantasy 14.) But while 2017 has been kind to us, 2018 looks like it could be even better! It seems next year will be [...]

MMOs and MMORPGs have generally been a PC based genre. The always on, constantly updated nature of the genre made them an ill fit on consoles with nascent internet capabilities. Sure, there were exceptions. Phantasy Star Online was released on the Dreamcast way back in 2000, and here in the West we got EverQuest Online Adventures in 2003. But these [...]

If you’re an avid gamer, you’ve come across one trouble that most gamers have come across: high ping. Whether you’re playing MMORPGs or FPS games, ping heavily impacts your gameplay.
