It’s very convenient to capture many moments, but most of us don’t take the step to bring them out of the digital realm and into the real world. Social media streams and image curation sites can be virtual repositories for our memories, but sometimes, for special ones, “virtual” is not good enough.

There is nothing more frustrating than getting into a gaming groove with your friends when randomly during the session your frames per second (fps) waterfall, and your game begins to lag. You’re probably wondering what’s going on behind the scenes with your system or network and if there’s anything you can do about it. You’ll first need to understand about the components that go into your computer’s connection to the internet and how that can affect your gameplay. Here are the top 5 reasons why high ping and, as a result, lagging occur while playing games online.

Historical real-time strategy (RTS) game Age of Empires III was released over 13 years ago. And while fans are still clamoring for more news on the sequel, Age of Empires IV, details have been leaking slowly about what might be coming in the upcoming RTS game. Here is what we know so far about Age of Empires IV.

There’s a moment in the movie Pulp Fiction where professional assassin Vincent Vega, played by John Travolta, is waxing philosophical to his co-worker Jules, played by Samuel L. Jackson, about what separates Europe from America and gives each its own distinct flavor. He says, “You know what the funniest thing about Europe is? It’s the little differences...a lot of the same [stuff] they got there, we got here. But they’re a little different.” And it’s those little differences that end up making the biggest and most telling impacts. In a way, this is the story of comparing and contrasting the two big runaway hit competitive first-person shooter (FPS) multi-player sensations of the last few years. They are Overwatch by Blizzard Entertainment and Fortnite by Epic Games. On the surface, there is a lot in common. But it’s the little differences that seem to be the biggest reasons that determine which you might prefer. And the little differences, too, that may spell which one edges out and eclipses the other as time goes on.

Right now, the PC gaming industry is witnessing a knock-down, drag-out fight between two rival digital distribution game store portals, Steam and the Epic Games Store. How did it all start and what will it mean for gamers? Which is better now, and what will the future bring, both for gamers and developers as a full-scale distribution war seems to be breaking out? Is competition good for the consumer, or will it splinter the market into a bunch of shards?

In the assembled history of video and electronic gaming, there is a genre that is omnipresent throughout. It’s a steadfast constant from platform to platform, console to console, and with computers and computer gaming as it has developed and grown in processing power. From humble beginnings to the current moment, it’s a genre of games that is often overlooked and has, almost ironically, never been exactly “first place” in the line-up, but one that always shows in the mid-tiers.

There’s no denying the thrill that comes with human competition. Nothing beats jumping into a game against real-life people, connected through signals and wires across the internet, all in a shared virtual space to see who is better than whom. Online first-person shooter (FPS) games deliver an adrenaline rush and millions of players log in each day to do battle to get it. Battle royales, team battles, capture the flag battles, all in an endless series of skirmishes and rounds. There are downsides, too. Like Jean-Paul Sartre said in No Exit, “Hell is other people.” Sometimes it is frustrating to be playing against folks who take delight in ruining other people’s days. Those so-called “Griefers” camp out in unfair spots in games, knocking out players as they respawn for cheap points, kill-stealing, being away-from-keyboard (AFK) in a squad, and just collecting experience from others’ efforts

There’s that old question: “If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?” It might, but without a listener, what good is a sound anyway? Similarly, if you pull off a great move in a game, or defeat a boss-monster against all odds with only one sliver of health left for yourself, and nobody’s there to see it, does it even really count? Sometimes, you need a buddy (or five) to make a fun gaming session feel worthwhile. That’s where co-op games come in. Co-ops are not competitions. They’re things you can play with other people, not against other people. What the best co-op games offer is camaraderie, teamwork, and sometimes, if you totally slip up, the comfort of your friends being on hand to save the day and do the hard work of winning for you.
