Tarkov is Releasing Soon
(Intro) We officially have Tarkov’s release date. BSG not too long ago put out a cinematic trailer that revealed the official 1.0 release date: November 15th, 2025. I’m honestly surprised it was released this way; I figured they would’ve made more of a deal out of it. But it kind of just popped up one day in the afternoon and now, here we are. That’s barely under three months away. And honestly, a lot still needs to happen either before, or on that release date. And that’s what we’re going to discuss; the final real stretch, what needs to change inside of the game, what we could expect and whether or not BSG can actually do this. Can they? I don’t know anymore…

Beyond the Screen: The Lives of Gamers
M Mehran When most people think of gamers, they imagine someone isolated in a dark room, glued to a screen, thumbs flying over a controller. But for many, gaming is more than a pastime—it’s a world, a community, and even a path to self-discovery.

Mission 001: Report At HQ (Part TWO)
JC tried opening his eyes but his surroundings felt fuzzy. He could hear the steady sound of a ventilation system around him. His body hurts him as he attempts to lift the left arm. His hand finds no grip but, on his right, Denton scratches a sterile concrete wall. The place is somber, silent and seems deserted.

Hardcore Tarkov is Over
(Intro) Well, after just over six weeks, the community can say the hardcore wipe has come to a close. It didn’t go out with a bang, but instead, a small whimper. On August 20th, BSG released a series of patch notes that reverted almost all of the changes that were associated with the hardcore wipe. There are a couple of mechanical differences that are still prevalent from the hardcore wipe, but most of the grievances of players have been reverted to what they were like in previous wipes. This whole thing has been a crazy ride. Some of it good, some of it interesting but not flushed out completely. And some of it utterly trash. So, let’s go over what has been reverted, where we stand now that hardcore is no more, and just have a small postmortem for the challenge and all the headaches that surrounded the idea. It could’ve been good; it should’ve been good. But sadly, things did not go exactly as planned.

The Lessons to Learn from this Hardcore Wipe
(Intro) This hardcore wipe has been a tumultuous experience since day one. Even before it released and we were seeing all the incoming changes prior to the wipe, there was this tepid hesitance in the air from the community that this might end poorly. Well sadly, it kind of did. Issues with features we were forced to engage with, problems for many with the pacing of the entire experience, and a general disdain for having to be forced to play with it whether you wanted to or not. And the part that stinks the most? This could’ve all been avoided. There were many different ways BSG could’ve handled this hardcore wipe and made it an experience that while still not for everyone, something that people were at least willing to play with. The game needed a shake up like this; but not exactly like this. So today, instead of talking about what went wrong, let’s go over what BSG could’ve done to get it right and the different lessons that can be learned going forward into 1.0.

BSG Balanced the Fun Out of the Game
(Intro) For a long time, EFT has been losing some of its spark when it comes to having fun with the game. And it feels as though recently, it’s kind of come to a head. The hardcore wipe was a solid idea on paper, but wasn’t executed in a way that felt fulfilling, satisfying or even remotely fun for many players. While most of us were excited to try it and see what BSGs version of hardcore looked like, and even with a gameplan in mind, things still didn’t play out how a lot of us wanted. But this feeling of the game just not feeling fun goes beyond hardcore; it’s more of a phenomenon that many have been experiencing for years now. And no, it isn’t because people are tired, bored or jaded at the game. It feels as though many aspects about EFT that players thought were fun have been slowly removed or balanced out over the course of the game's life. The game was never supposed to be fun, technically. And yet, hundreds of thousands of players found the fun in EFT. But now, the hardcore wipe has been a reminder that sometimes, less is more; you don’t need to artificially create problems to sell us the solution. Tarkov is unique because it’s really the only extraction shooter that has gotten the formula down. Risk and reward; it’s as simple as that. But let’s go over why Tarkov feels as though some of the fun has been balanced out or simply removed. Some of it will directly involve hardcore, and other elements, not so much. I remember this game being so much fun; where did it all go?

Fence in Tarkov – An Old, Wasted Gimmick
(Intro) Fence has always been an… interesting trader in Tarkov, to say the least. A mysterious fellow who for the longest time, was kind of just around as a trader of random items. For years, he had no quests, no real purpose, and no progression. Essentially, he acted as a sort of beta test for the flea market, if you will. Because any items sold to Fence could be purchased by well… anyone. As long as they were on his menu when that item was sold it would pop up in his inventory, they could get that item at an increased price. But as time has gone on, other new mechanics that were more flushed out were introduced, making his gimmick feel both old and somewhat useless. They have tried to give him purpose with new quests as well as linking him to your scav karma, but ultimately, he still feels underutilized to an extent. So today, let’s talk about Fence; his role early on, what he evolved into, how he could be potentially spruced up and what he could theoretically look like when 1.0 drops.

Golden Age Of Bond Games: From 'Agent Under Fire' to 'First Light'
I didn’t realize it then, but looking back, it’s remarkable that some of my first true Bond experiences came not from the silver screen or the page, but from a controller. Agent Under Fire, Nightfire, and Everything or Nothing—three original Bond stories told through games—were among my clearest entries into this world, I have come to love. I didn’t compare them to the films. They were the films to me: cinematic, stylish, yet unburdened by the weight of the legacy Bond films carry.

Battlefield 6 is Amazing, and I couldn’t be More Excited
(Intro) Battlefield 6’s open beta is awesome. This game from everything we have seen and played so far, looks to finally redeem the series with a massively successful title, barring things stay on the current path. From the reveal trailer to multiplayer deep dive, and now to the first open beta weekend, seeing the game played is one thing. But being able to put your hands on it and experience what the game feels like is something else. I mean, there is a reason why after only about less than twelve hours there were over three hundred thousand concurrent players on steam. Twice as much as 2042’s highest player count ever. This game could be something truly special. So, let’s break this open beta down; talk about gameplay, visuals, audio, performance and everything else and ask the question: is this game finally going to be what Battlefield fans have wanted so desperately of their beloved franchise?

The Mastermind Games: Season 03 Episode 01
The countdown blared across the collapsing Marseille facility: “REBOOT IN 10… 9…” Clara’s hand hovered over the hard-reset trigger, unsure if pressing it again would destroy the system—or herself. The lights flickered violently, the AI’s circuits glitching in every corridor like veins bursting with corrupted blood.

The Mastermind Games: Season 02 Episode 03
The aircraft’s interior was dead silent, save for the rhythmic hum of the engines and the low flicker of LED strips running along the walls. The six remaining players—Clara, Isha, Elise, Rafiq, Sophie, and Julien’s replica—sat strapped into carbon seats that had risen from the floor like claws.
