Which Game has Better PvP? Tarkov? Or Arc Raiders?
(Intro) One of the most important components in any extraction shooter is the ability to fight other players. It’s what gives this genre the reputation of being a difficult and sometimes arduous experience. It all hinges on your ability to fend off whatever computer opponents the game throws at you, on top of being able to work around other players. Sometimes, you might be able to persuade someone with your voice that you don’t want to fight, but that isn’t always going to work. There are players specifically looking for combat, especially once they have gotten through a majority of the game’s content and are deep enough into it that losing gear isn’t a concern anymore. Which is a problem in itself, but regardless, the two big extraction games currently out right now are obviously Tarkov, and Arc Raiders, respectively. We may need to come back to this conversation once Marathon releases and if it’s good, include it and see where on the line it sits. But for now, I wanted to compare the two games’ PvP scenes. What the major differences are, where there are similarities and ask the question of is one game’s combat superior to the other. After playing both back-to-back, looking at the footage and just assessing what makes these games tick, the answer isn’t as black and white as you might expect.

Gaming is Lonely Sometimes
(Intro) Video games can be an exhilarating and collaborative experience for many. Whether it’s fighting a raid boss in an MMO, or working together as a team in an FPS to capture the final objective and win the game, as the rise of online games have grown within the last decade, so too has the desire to be around other players and be social with one another. It’s almost become a necessity for many games to have open worlds or hub areas where players can simply hang out, interact and get to know one another. And as amazing as those experiences can be, sometimes, even when you’re surrounded by like-minded people all working towards a similar goal, it can feel… lonely. Which feels like an odd statement to make, but I would imagine it’s a very similar feeling to being at a party or family gathering and just feeling alone. You try to socialize and be a part of the group, but it’s more comfortable to sit on the sidelines and watch things from afar. Maybe there isn’t anyone around your age, maybe you just are unfamiliar with your extended family because there are so many of them, these feelings can really be for any reason. I could just be projecting a lot of my own personal insecurities right now, but sometimes, even in games where there are players as far as the eye can see, gaming can feel lonely. At least, to me.

Behind Every Game Are People
Today, everyone wants to express their opinion. And while it shouldn’t be questionable that everyone should have the freedom to express their thoughts, I can’t help but wonder: are people mistaking opinions for hatred and bluntness? This goes a long way for gamers and game developers alike.

Why Rayo Vallecano demonstrated their superiority
Why Rayo Vallecano demonstrated their superiority When football fans hear the name Real Madrid, they immediately picture power, victories, and superstars on a global scale. When they hear Rayo Vallecano, they think of a small, hardworking club from the heart of Madrid, fighting season after season to survive among Spain’s elite.

Was Tarkov’s Full Release Rushed?
(Intro) Tarkov has existed for a long time. Over eight years' worth of work, adding content to the game with a final dash towards the end to make it what BSG has called, feature complete. And while most of us are glad we got to see the game get to the end, it also had me thinking about the circumstances that led to this point. We know BSG wanted to add more; be ambitious and really try to put Tarkov in a place where it can feel like a forever game. But even after all this time, does Tarkov feel like a rushed game, at least the launch of 1.0? I know it’s a crazy question to even ask considering how long it’s been. But think about it for a moment; at the very least the final stretch felt like it was coming together rather quickly. Obviously, they can’t keep working on the game forever; they don’t have infinite money and even if they did, they most likely want to work on something different. But plans must’ve changed internally multiple times over even just the last year for it to have played out the way it ultimately did. What drove them to release 1.0 when they did? How has it panned out in general? And can we technically call the release of it, rushed?

Now, I've played many games over the years - including a couple of different first-person shooters. I even wrote an article listing 5 underappreciated video games a few years ago.

It Wasn’t Worth It, Geoff... High Guard Impressions
(Intro) For anyone that watched the Game Awards in December, you know it ended on a very controversial trailer, from a development team we’ve never seen before. Highguard, a new first-person team-based hero shooter released on January 26th, and the lead up to this game was quite bizarre. After the reveal trailer wasn’t received well by the masses across the internet, the team was radio silent until three days before launch. And even now, on the release day we are now just getting some more media going over the gameplay heroes and much else. And while I personally wished a few other games at the award show were given the final trailer spot, the host Geoff hyped this game up quite a bit before showing the trailer; talking about how he played it himself and was very impressed, setting an expectation the likes of which Highguard had absolutely no chance of meeting. Which is a shame, but after playing the Highguard for a couple of days, while there are a few things about the game, I personally find interesting, in the end it doesn’t feel worth trying to slog through other elements of it just to enjoy those small moments. Sorry Geoff, but I don’t think putting Highguard last was worth it. But we’ll see in the long run.

When Is a Move Final?
The Commitment Problem in Modern Chess Modern chess operates under a fractured commitment model that no longer aligns with how players think, how turns function in most games, or how chess itself is actually played across physical and digital formats. At the heart of the problem is that chess treats physical contact with a piece as binding commitment while simultaneously relying on a separate explicit action to end a player’s turn. This creates a logical contradiction: a move becomes final before the turn is over. In most turn-based games, interaction with game components is provisional until the player explicitly signals the end of their turn. Chess is an anomaly in this respect, and the inconsistency becomes increasingly visible in modern play.
