Sandbox game 'Minecraft' isn't what you think it is.
Minecraft was the hit game of the decade. With 176 million sales, it is a huge game, with "infinite possibilities", as they say. When you think of Minecraft, you most likely think of building houses, castles, breaking trees, and killing cows. Well, that's the most popular and classic mode, survival single player. This means that the player is alone in a journey where they have to fight for their resources, and they have limited resources. But there are a few more modes. One of them is creative single player. Creative single player lets the player have infinite resources, build as much as they want, get anything they want, but most importantly, fly. The player can fly to build, and normally hostile animals who would attack the player in survival don't. But those are just the two most popular modes. In single player. This is just one universe of the two universes of Minecraft. Single player, and Multiplayer. Multiplayer is the mode where there are tons and tons of servers, and I mean TONS because there are literally thousands of them. So you might ask: What is a server, really? Well, a server is a community-run, community-hosted, world of Minecraft, that anyone can join using a specific IP address that the server has. Each server has it's own IP, and these IPs are public information. For example, if you were to join the biggest server in all of Minecraft, you would join The Hypixel Network, who's IP address is mc.hypixel.net. So, what's the advantage of a server? The advantage of a server is that you can play with other people, and you can play new and original games that are built using Minecraft like you would build a game using a game engine. These games, called mini-games, are fueled with add-ons to servers called plug-ins. Plug-ins change the game a lot, or a little. They can add commands, which are lines of code that a player runs to do something, like play a game. Plug-ins can also change how players move, and interact with things. For example, games that involve right clicking items to open a menu use plugins to fulfill that action. You might come across YouTube videos people are playing Minecraft, and they are playing a completely foreign game to what you thought was Minecraft, but you know that the game is still Minecraft. Those games are probably games on The Hypixel Network, who offers over 50 different games like Bedwars, or Skywars, which are both fun. Bedwars consists of breaking someone's bed so that they cannot be revived, and then killing them so that they are eliminated. Skywars consists of killing everyone in the game, eliminating them right away. Skywars and Bedwars are the two most popular modes, since they have upwards of 10,000 players playing each game all the time. But there is one more popular game. This game is rather new, only six months old. This is skyblock. Hypixel skyblock. The basic idea of skyblock is that you are on an island, with or without someone else (your choice) and then you have a tree to mine, and you build survival from there. But Hypixel completly remade this. They made more armor, upgrades, locations, and they added many new things. This game has over 30,000 players all the time. And with quarantine making new players join and play, that makes the count almost 40,000 people. So, there are many people on The Hypixel Network, but how many in total? There are around 90,000 players always on hypixel (In quarantine). This makes the server very laggy, as it is designed to have only 70,000 players online daily. But the player count is going up, and the record of players online at once stands at 92,400.

As Cloud Gaming Competition Heats Up, PC Gamers Should Go Their Own Way
For the past several years, the global gaming industry has started a long, slow move away from console and PC-based gaming. The replacement for those platforms is supposed to be a new breed of cloud game streaming services that bring all of the latest AAA titles (and more) to the device of your choice via the internet. The idea is, you can play the games you want, on whatever device you own – thus ending the hardware replacement cycle forever.

Not Compatible?!
Lately there have been a lot of high end mobile games becoming available. This is amazing because it lets us know that our technology is evolving to allow our mobile devices to play mobile games as if on a PC or console. The biggest problem with this is that it's really only available to higher end smartphones and tablets. We're talking the kind you wait 3 days in line for kind of high end. Not everyone can afford that. I certainly can't and I work full time! There is a way, however, to get in on the action.

'Halo: The Master Chief Collection' - Finally on PC
My life with Halo I've more or less grown up with Halo, but it wasn't until college until I really dived into the universe. While going to middle school, I witnessed a Halo 1 LAN party on the original Xbox. Later on, I merely dabbled in Halo 2 at a friend's house. Finally, I bought an Xbox 360 and got Halo 3. This game was out for a couple of years at this point, but I didn't care. These games were amazing to me because of my fascination with Sci-Fi and just the basic fact that Halo is awesome. Being on the Halo side of the "Halo vs. Call Of Duty" was always fun too. Look, I get the intensive moments of Hardcore Search And Destroy... was even a constant 'COD" guy myself. However, nothing tops alien weapons along with drivable vehicles. Running over enemy players with a ghost... "tea bagging" other lifeless Spartans/Covenant members sprawled on the ground... hearing grunts scream in terror and flee... these games never grow old.

'World of Warcraft Classic'
If you haven't heard of World of Warcraft Classic, let me be the first to welcome you to the old school MMO that sucked the lives out of everyone playing it. WoW Classic is just as it's labeled. Going back to the original game before all the expansions, streamlined content, easy combat, and leveling. Shed all of the fat and go back to the cut and dry World of Warcraft. To be honest the original recipe is my cup of tea. WoW Classic brings you back to when you actually had to read quest to find your destination; you have to put in the time and effort to learn and craft a character that you are on this adventure with. Nothing is given, you have to earn it. So far I am ten hours in. I have a level ten dwarf hunter. Just a little perspective of the time that you will need to put into the game to achieve what you want in it. Now let's dive into this.

Blizzard Releases 'Classic World of Warcraft'
It finally happened. Blizzard Entertainment did what was once thought impossible. Yesterday, August 26th 2019, Blizzard released Classic World of Warcraft; they went all the way back to the beginning, a simpler time when there were no add-ons, no flying, no boosts, just your character and your wits. No more “easy mode” when it comes to Classic.

Remember Those Nancy Drew PC Games from Your Childhood?
Between 1998 and the present day, HeR Interactive has released 33 point-and-click adventure games centered around everyone's favorite nosy know-it-all, Nancy Drew. Just in case you forgot about these games, we'll take a trip down nostalgia lane. I'll be focusing on Secrets Can Kill (1998) and The Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon (2005), but all games are valid. Before you know it, you'll have Ned Nickerson's phone number memorized again. And if you've never forgotten it... you won't even be needing a second chance. Love, Nancy.
