The Pokémon Multiverse Will Blow Your Mind
Over time, the Pokémon games, anime, and manga have given fans bits of lore about the world of Pokémon. With that, fans quickly stitched together theories about how everything connects. These theories range from who Red’s father is, to illustrations of natural selection, to humans secretly being another type of Pokémon, but the theory that takes the cake is the multiverse theory.

'Final Fantasy XI': A Dying Game?
I remember the day my father brought the game home. I remember sitting down on the floor, my eyes wide as he ran through East Ronfaure, unable to determine if that giant branch he was under was going to rise up from the ground, and kill him. I remember the gentle lull of the music, as I dozed off beside his chair, eyes fluttering, my mind reeling as it tried to prepare for the adventures that were yet to come.

'Persona 4' the Golden Animation!
When I first purchased my PS Vita, I had no idea the endless amounts of joy and excitement I would get out of it. Naturally, after opening the package from Amazon I had begun to look at different games I could purchase. My eyes immediately went to Persona 4. Not only was it a mere 20 dollars, but it also had amazing reviews from the people that had played it. Usually PS vita games are a little more than 30 bucks, so I was delighted to be purchasing a game that was under the usual price range. I recently finished Persona (after literally 3-5 weeks of nonstop playing) and let me tell you...this might be one of the best roleplay games out there! When I had first finished the game, I was not satisfied with the ending I got, so I jumped on the internet to console an ending guide. After a brief reading of the guide I then knew what I had to do. Play the game all over again. A good thing about this game is that once you complete it the first time some of the stats that you earned from your previous play through will be applied when you restart the game! So it's not like you start all the way over, it actually makes the game a little easier. The stats that you acquire during this game along with the character development that comes along with it really makes this game unique. I really enjoyed building up the protagonist's stats, because when my stats were at a certain level, I was able to interact with other minor characters and also engage in certain dialogue choices with the main characters. Even though there is a set story line in the game, the creators of the game made it to where the player can pick and choose which aspects of the story they want to incorporate into their game play.

'2K and Live:' The Rise and Rise and Rise
I started playing basketball video games around 2013. Y'know, the one where MJ was the cover star? Started with a game between the '92 Bulls and the '92 Hornets? That was when the games used SP, or skill points, and not the VC, or virtual currency, that we know and occasionally criticise today. Those were the days. I also got introduced to Madden around this time as well. These games use buttons you never seemed to use. Like the square was shoot, the triangle was a lob pass. It was like PES had taken the wheel of American Sports games. I knew Live was a game in the 00s, but was way too occupied with the entire FIFA situation from 03-09. Then got bored of it all and ventured into the land of adventure games and mobile RPGs. However, with the emergence of NBA 2K18 and Live 18 around the same time last year and the hype for 2K19 just beginning, let's take a look at how the two have contrasted over the years and what it means for the basketball video game community.

How to Continue Enjoying 'The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim'
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (TES V) is one of the most popular games of all time. Typically, TES installments have separated by 4–6 years, but Bethesda studios have kept fans waiting for longer this time. On June 10th, at Bethesda's E3 conference, they released a 36-second teaser of TES VI. However, it's likely to be another few years before we can finally play the game. The release of the Elder Scrolls Online in 2014 was an underwhelming substitute for TES VI for many, and certainly lacks the impressive combat options and graphical beauty of Skyrim. In response, many fans have turned back to TES V for their Elder Scrolls fix. But how can the average gamer continue to enjoy Skyrim whilst they (un)patiently wait for TES VI? Here are 5 suggestions from someone with hundreds and hundreds of hours of Skyrim gameplay.

'Terrordrome: Reign of the Legends' Summons Our Favorite Monsters and More
It all started with a simple concept: What if the horror legends that haunt our nightmares faced off in an arena, going machete-to-chainsaw with one another in a bloody battle for supremacy? The team at Huracan Studios brought the idea to life, arguably better than New Line Cinema did with 2003’s Freddy vs. Jason, with a roster of 13 horror greats in Terrordrome: Rise of the Boogeymen.

The New Season of Ranked Dota
Look to Reddit and see threads of people working the last six months only to drop a whole rank and the rest due to having some bad games during calibration, look to my own feed on the Dota homepage and I can see first hand countless friends drop ranks from Legend five to Archon three, from Archon 5 to Crusader 3 and for me from Archon 2 to Crusader one. Now on my main account where I have clocked 4,500 hours and had achieved a mere Crusader three rank. This is due to a multitude of reasons for me mainly being that I abandoned ranked for around 2,000 hours of play, feeling like a lot of players that my rank didn't quite reflect my skill and especially my knowledge. Unlike a lot though I didn't wish to buy an account to achieve my "true" mmr. I took on the challenge of creating a new account to play 100 games and unlock ranked. Then attempting another calibration this was mere weeks before the new calibration. I took on this task to prove to myself that I was above the players in the rank of crusader and I did, I achieved Archon 2 not what I aimed for but still it confirmed to me that I wasn't at my correct mmr.

The History of 'NBA 2K' Covers
As both a basketball fan and video game fan, it is only natural that both of my interests meet in some way. For several years, NBA 2K has been just that. NBA 2K allows me to combine my love for the game (basketball) with my love for the game (in video games). I have played 2K for years, and will probably continue to do so. Especially with this new cover.
