"Every Bullet Counts" - New Adversary Game Mode in Grand Theft Auto 5 - GTA5

Looks like the maps are quite small, you only get TWO bullets per round and ONE gun!  You have to make your shots count, or restort to melee weapons (if turned on).  Read more HERE!

Two bullets. One life. No mercy. The assemblage of GTA Online Adversary Modes for PS4, Xbox One and PC grows stronger today with the release of the brand new Every Bullet Counts - an intense Last Man Standing variant with a unique twist to keep you on your toes and constantly on your guard.
With no safe place to hide, four players go up against each other in a confined space with a very limited arsenal, just one Marksman Pistol and two bullets to take out three opponents. Once you've exhausted your ammo, you'll need to resort to crafty melee attacks with your Hatchet or Machete to make it out alive.

GTA Online Freemode Events DLC Live!!!

The new DLC for GTA Online has been released and is live, while going through the world you can
toggle the events to trigger for you or not, so you can do your normal harassment of other players ;) and not be bothered by these new features, but from the sound of them they're going to be very fun to play in.  Penned In sounds exactly like Battle Royale in H1Z1!!! Check em out!

Penned In – A vehicular free-for-all to stay inside an ever-shrinking and always-moving dome. If you're caught outside the dome for more than a few seconds you'll blow up and be eliminated from the competition. 

Criminal Damage – Rack up the biggest property damage bill you can before time runs out. Equip your biggest weapons and go to town on anything and everything in sight. 

Hunt The Beast – Players team up to track and kill the beast – a randomly selected player with superior speed and extra health – before it can collect 10 checkpoints scattered around the world within the time limit. The beast is invisible on the mini-map save for whenever it collects a checkpoint, which will cause it to blip for 10 seconds (and increasing in duration with each checkpoint collected). 

Challenges - Longest jump; longest skydive; longest wheelie; most vehicles stolen; most near misses; lowest parachute deploy; longest bail from vehicle; furthest distance low flying; and more. 

Moving Target - A vehicle is blipped on the map, the first player to deliver it to the marked destination wins. 

Kill List - A vehicle is blipped on the map, once the requisite number of players enter they must take out as many waves of enemies as possible. 

Kill List Competitive - Same as above, but multiple vehicles are blipped and players compete against each other to rack up the most kills in the given time limit. 

Checkpoints - 120 checkpoints spawn in a quadrant of the map. Players compete to collect the most in the given time limit. This mode comes in two variants: land & sea checkpoints and air checkpoints. 

Time Trial - A persistent blip on the map where players can try to beat the Rockstar par time and world record on a route that changes weekly. 

Hold the Wheel - A target vehicle is blipped on the map for 5 minutes. Players compete to be the one in the vehicle when the timer expires. 

Hot Property - Players compete to control possession of a blipped briefcase. The longer you have it, the more points you earn. 

Dead Drop - A briefcase is blipped for players to collect and deliver to a location. Players compete for the chance to deliver the briefcase. 

King of the Castle -The first player to a blipped location becomes King, and gain points as long as they remain King. Players compete to kill and become the King.

Video - "Mis-Adventures In Rimworld s01e01" - Testing Out Youtube's Gaming Channel And Live Streaming

So I decided to try out the youtube's gaming channel and streaming service, and see how it compares to the twitch streaming experience.  

Overall I think I kind of like the youtube aspect a bit more, however the processing time it seems to take is a bit much.  I think I'd still just stream live, but then do all the editing and posting after the effect rather than wait for youtube to process the video and their editor isn't the greatest in end use as well, when compared to the likes of premier.  

With that said I'd still maybe do the straight to the web, for maybe like live little quick bit shows like maybe live Q&A's, etc.  We'll see! :)  I'll certainly continue to play games and stream when I've got the time.  I really like playing Rimworld in a frustratingly satisfying way, whenever I feel the need for some survival game pangs.

Grand Theft Auto 5 Patch / Rockstar States Their Position On Mods For GTA V Online

Rockstar released a patch earlier this week which is about 91mb and supposedly fixes the FPS issues for the PC, as well as others bug fixes.  With that said they also stated their position on the support of mods specifically the online version of the game.

"As mentioned previously, we are not actively targeting players using mods in Story Mode, nor are we explicitly implementing protections against them in-game, Our primary focus is on protecting GTA Online against modifications that could give players an unfair advantage, disrupt gameplay, or cause griefing.
"As a reminder, mods are still unauthorized and as such, Title Updates may cause Story Mode mods to behave in unexpected ways because they are not supported or tested, and players run them at their own risk."

GTA Online ILL-GOTTEN GAINS - Part Two & 1.28 Update - Now Available

Much of the 1.28 update intro's new content (see below) as well as bug fixes for all of the platforms. Here is the info: 

New content:

All Platforms

• Five new vehicles have been added to Legendary Motorsport for Story Mode and GTA Online: Coil Brawler, Vapid Chino, Invetero Coquette BlackFin, Progen T20, Dinka Vindicator

Video : Minecraft - Story Mode!!! Say Whaaaaat?!!!

So this happened.  I'm both excited and a bit nervous about how this might turn out.  After all this could be epicly good like the Lego Movie, as good as the episodic games of Last of Us/Walking Dead, or could be a real fart burner like one of the lesser animation studios Pixar rip off movies, or Cars/Cars2! ;)  I myself I think am tending toward the former than the latter.  I certainly enjoy watching Red vs Blue, and Yogscast's Shadow of Israphel series.  Here is the Video for Minecraft : Story Mode!

Mid June Is TheRelease Of A New Game Mode For Hearthstone : TAVERN BRAWL!

Tavern Brawl

Each week, a different Tavern Brawl will pit you head to head versus another player using exciting and unique rules. One week might feature preset decks, while another week could have you crafting a brand new Tavern Brawl deck following specific guidelines, while others might offer buffs to specific minion types—who knows!

Tavern Brawl can be found below the Play, Solo Adventures, and the Arena buttons on the main Hearthstone screen. You may have to toughen up before entering the fray—Tavern Brawl is unlocked once a player has a level 20 Hero.

The possibilities for fun inside Tavern Brawl are endless— the only thing you should expect is the unexpected!

Brawl with Buddies

While it’s fun to get into Tavern Brawls with strangers, it’s also a blast to brawl with your buddies! To start a Tavern Brawl with a friend, enter the Tavern Brawl menu, open your Friends List, and push the ‘Challenge’ button next to your friend’s name. After they accept, press the Brawl Friend button and let the battle begin!

Video : Mis-Adventures In Hearthstone s01e01 - I Finally Win One With My Hunter Deck!

So i've been playing a bit of Hearthstone : Heroes Of Warcraft, essentially its Blizzard Entertainment attempt at Magic The Gathering, however its more MTG "Lite".  Don't get me wrong I love to sit down and play for 10 min and bust out my "dailies" in Hearthstone, a mechanic they carried over form World of Warcraft.   Just there is more overall complexity with MTG than their is with Hearthstone at this time.   

Its certainly lots of fun to play just like magic, and you get somewhat the same thrill of gathering and collecting cards as well as having the ability of "crafting" cards by "disenchanting" either multiple of cards you have or ones you dont wan to use which isn't something you can do with worthless common cards.  However there is no "trading" in Hearthstone.  So really the only thing you can do is disenchant for "dust" which then allows you to craft cards you might not have yet.

Its estimated that 20 million people enjoy the game and .5% of that playerbase has reached "Legendary" status (winning over 500 times in each character class).  There are both PC clients as well as apps for both android and ios!

So Here is one of my initial wins using my Hunter Class "Beasts" decks.  Feel free to comment in the video description.  While I pull out a win, I make a ton of mistakes along the way, and hey upon reviewing these mistakes its already made me a better player :)

VIDEO : Grand Theft Auto 5 - Wade Can't Stop A Toilet Leak!

This was a fun little play session.  I'm trying out my new El Gato Capture Card HD that I picked up for recording console game play.  Check out the video below.  The video has some of the cut scenes leading up to a big heist, but I took out most, if not all, of the actual game play of what you need to do to get to that point. So the video is relatively spoiler free.

Video : Mis-Adventures In PAYDAY2! S01E03!

In this episode we noob it up and pull a "Ray" near the end!  One of the cool aspects of the game, if you're playing with others, is "chain" missions together which take place over a number of days.  In this case two friends and myself  had just performed a smash and grab at a jewelry store and the next "scenario" was to actually escape after our initial getaway vans tires are shot out!  So check out the video below to see if we in fact do succeed in our get away! (fyi, my mic didn't record so all you hear are my two friends and a friend of theirs they had on the skype call)
