Did I ever really leave? The Season of the Lost has begun inDestiny 2, which to non-Destinyplayers, might not mean very much.Destiny 2lore is filled with proper nouns and sometimes-ambiguous terminology that can mean a great deal to those in the know, and not much to those who haven’t been closely following along. And somehow, with Season of the Lost, I’ve moved from being in the latter camp to the former....

Okay Are eSports real sports? ESPN’s intrepid leader doesn’t seem to think so. “It’s not a sport — it’s a competition,” ESPN president John Skipper said Thursday at the Code/Media Series conference in New York. “Chess is a competition. Checkers is a competition.Mostly, I’m interested in doing real sports.” The dismissal is curious, given ESPNpartnered with Valveearlier this summer to broadcast The International, the world championship forDota 2, and how the network airs stuff like cup stacking, competitive eating, spelling bees, and poker tournaments....

David Houghtonis one of my favorite videomgame journalists; he’s got an great analytical eye, and he knows how to express his excitement without coming off as insincere. It figures that he would be the one to make me interested inEpic Mickey. Honestly, up until now the game was getting on my nerves. Making stuff “dark” just to attempt to keep up with the tastes of “mature” gamers is one of my big pet-peeves....

Fox News “researchers” clearly read videogame blogs, because there’s no other way those guys would have found out about theFat Princess“controversy”and the pretend feminists who stomped their trotters and moaned about it. If you think Fox News would use “this silly videogame,” as they put it, to continue the station’s long-standing grudge against gaming, you’d be wrong. After all, a chance to mock thosedirty left-wing feministsis going to rank higher on Fox’s agenda, and as theabove clipdemonstrates, they took that chance in both clumsy hands....

Also, ranked matchmaking is coming Last year, Frostivus, what I assume to be the most amazingDota 2holiday ever, wasCANCELLEDdue to those jerk Greevils. Then we had the “Greevling” instead, which was a decent alternative game mode for a while, though it largely depended on how awesome your Greevil was. Regardless, that’s all in the past now! This year,Frostivus is good to goand, just like the blog post says, nothing can possibly go wrong....

When will the free games end?! More games should really star adorable robots who use their enemies’ weapons and abilities against them as they hack, slack, burn, and crash their way through space stations infested with sentient AI hell-bent on deprogramming you once and for all. But since more games aren’t exactly that, at least we’re able to give away a whole mess of keys forSocketeer, a game that is about all of that!...

4.25 will give us a few things to do Right now I’m still working my way through God Kefka inFinal Fantasy XIV, but with Patch 4.25 I’ll have even more to do on non-raid days. Arriving on Tuesday March 13, the patch will see the return of fan-favorite Hildibrand — who I must stress was such a favorite that Square Enix decided to include him more than they were even planning to — as well as the arrival of The Forbidden Land, Eureka Anemos, colloquailly referred to as “Eureka....
