league of legends north american league championship series line up

January 16th is the start of the spring NA LCS split! I’m pretty excited about this, and it looks to be an interesting split to say the least. There were numerous roster changes during the offseason which is to be expected. The teams that made it, or stayed in, to the NA LCS are Cloud 9, Counter Logic Gaming, Team Dignitas, Echo Fox, Immortals, NRG ESports, Renegades, Team Impulse, Team Liquid, and Team Solo Mid. There are two extremely interesting teams in this line up. Echo

league of legends new champion jhin the virtuoso

The new champion has finally been revealed! Jhin, the Virtuoso will be coming to the League soon. He makes use of the new bullet mechanics that Graves showcased with his passive, Whisper. The Virtuoso’s abilities will make him an interesting choice in a champion. His kit appears to be what a marksman would be suited for, and indeed his ultimate is long range to support this idea. However, he has an average basic attack range. He could possibly be used in the middle lane on th

unexpected employment loving a job i didnt think id find

“Average” Job Seekers: Not to be corny, but this is something of a “follow your dreams” post. I had a conversation with my sister-in-law last night along those lines: “Everyone in this day and age is so caught up with what is proper; they need to have a “normal” well paying job so they can find a house in 5-10 years and get started with their life. Well last time I checked, your life is in the here and now.” You can find a job in the field you want to work. You can find a job

Hello to all you Guardians out there. To the new ones just joining our ranks as well as the experienced, welcome back from the holidays. XÃ»r this week is located in Tower North across the hall from the Speaker. His inventory is comprised of year two remakes, some of which are better than others. Honestly, it just depends on what type of gameplay and comfortability a guardian prefers. As always, the following is based off of my opinion on playing with these exotics already. T

super smash bros characters shouldnt make cut

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U’s extensive post-launch support will soon be over. Fire Emblem Fates’ Corrin and the titular Bayonetta will grace the crossover fighting game some time in February. This brings the roster to 58 characters, making the game a little crowded for future titles. Out of these 58 fighters, some people will have to sit the fifth iteration out. Here are some recommendations. Fire Emblem protagonists get a pretty good representation in the S

How Video Games Helped Me Cope With Depression

A few years ago, I was in a bad place. My personal life was a mess, I was living in Las Vegas with no real network of friends I could lean on, and to top it all off, my methods of coping with these issues were often more damaging than the issues themselves. During this time, I resigned myself to the fact that I was just going to be miserable. That was my lot in life. Some people get lucky and can enjoy their existence, like their jobs, and have wonderful groups of friends tha
