'Bumpers & Broadswords' is Rad
If you've been following this blog, you know how enamored I am with mongames. Two mongames that have captured my interest are the deeply flawed Metal Walker and Yu-Gi-Oh! Monster Capsule GB. In the case of Metal Walker, it has an unreasonably high encounter rate and capsules that are too inconsistent to plan a strategy around. While Yu-Gi-Oh! Monster Capsule GB is lacking because of its constant grinding and dice rolls that often determine the outcome of battles. However, the saving grace for both games lies in their battle systems. Metal Walker with its Flip Battles (turn-based pinball), and Yu-Gi-Oh! Monster Capsule GB's MC battles (monster-raising chess). These innovative battle systems provoked a desire to enjoy them without the baggage, and I'm pleased to say Bumpers & Broadswords delivers just that.

Tarkov is Better Off Without the Flea Market
(Intro) Tarkov is simply better off without the flea market. A mechanic that was introduced all the way back in 2018, and since its introduction has created more problems and band aid fixes across the rest of the game than maybe any other mechanic introduced. And over the years, the flea market has taken on many different forms and iterations to try and salvage the balance of the game, all without any success. There is no world in which this mechanic is healthy for a game like EFT; the emphasis on going into raids and extracting with items means any way of cutting that entire process out of the equation is going to be not only preferred but abused by the community. BSG tried so many times to dial the market down in a variety of ways, but ultimately nothing really got the flea to a place that it felt welcome in the game. You can take the flea out of the game, but you can’t take the game out of the flea. Even with its absence here in the hardcore wipe, the damage the market has done across the game can still be felt. So today, let’s go over the flea market as a whole; the different eras of it, how its inclusion impacted pretty much every major mechanic in the game and how much better Tarkov is without it being around. It’s going to come back, but I honestly wish it wouldn’t.

GTA 6: Grand Theft Auto 6 is a Landmark Release for a Gaming Generation
For nearly a decade, the gaming world has waited for Rockstar Games to deliver the next chapter in its iconic series. Now, all industry analysis points to Grand Theft Auto 6 being the biggest entertainment hit in modern history, not just in gaming, but in all media. 2013’s GTA V not only redefined the scope of open-world game design, but also the business model for online service games with the massive success of GTA Online, but industry analysts and investors believe that GTA VI will be even more successful than Rockstar.

Hardcore Tarkov Was a Failure and It Makes Me Sad
(Intro) Was the hardcore wipe for EFT a failure? Hardcore Tarkov has had a very tumultuous reputation since it was released with the most recent wipe. Tons of opinions across the community, ranging from this being the most fun wipe players have had, to the absolute worst how did BSG think this was a good idea. It’s been crazy to see so many different people talking about the handling of this wipe as a whole. And it’s barely been two weeks. Which is crazy because with all the changes coming from BSG, it’s felt like two months. But we’ve barely scratched the surface, and yet we kind of know what to expect for the foreseeable future. And while everyone else has and their opinions, my own is that this wipe had the potential to be one of the most impactful shake ups to the game since it was launched. I stand by the idea that Tarkov has needed a shake up on this scale for a long time. Something that would definitely make players hesitant to try it but would eventually give way to a difficult but enjoyable experience that truly tests the metal of an EFT players. It could’ve been amazing; and yet it’s only been okay. A complete failure? Depends on who you ask. But let’s talk about how BSG could’ve changed the game to preserve the hardcore experience while also making respectable and reasonable changes that many would’ve agreed with, and where do we go from here in regard to a more hardcore experience.
