Blizzard’s Diablo 2 sure was fun. But for WiNGSPANTT, it was more than fun. It was a formal education in math, trade, philosophy, and etiquette. Check out what he learned when he got his degree at the University of Mt. Arreat.
We recently reached out to T3′s Twitter following asking if anyone had any guides they’d like to see on the site. Death PDC was kind enough to send in this well thought out guide to Survival in MW3. We hope you like it as much as we did.
Xiant talks for a long time about Gabe Newell and what he and his company do right. Hopefully, after an hour and a half in writing, it will have been worth the read.
Space Hamlet is usually proud of disliking those games which you like. This time, he likes the game you (probably) dislike. Read to learn about all the beauty in the world you’ve forgotten how to see.
Xiant takes a look at the upcoming Stop Online Piracy Act, if only because he thinks boring you is just so much fun. Really, though, he thinks this is important and you need to know why SOPA applies to you.
Let’s just get this out of the way. Rabid Ferret does not like Modern Warfare 3. He does not approve of how this franchise is quite literally the same game over and over again with nothing changed. If you want to hear him rant about how terrible it is, you’ve come to the right place.
Sherman said “War is hell.” Games are still trying to come up with how to show what that really means. Xiant examines what the two top contenders, CoD and Battlefield, do and don’t do to portray what a hellish world war is.
Top Tier Tactics is proud to announce the console release of Diablo 3 on Blizzard’s behalf. Go tell all your friends right now, unless any of them are Blizzard’s legal team.
Xiant discusses what it means to troll when fun is the only objective. There’s also a more in depth analysis about trolling to win, but that’s really just to pad his precious word count.
It should come as no surprise that the god kings of the video game industry have more immediate concerns than how much enjoyment you derive from their products. What does manage to be surprising is the outwardly positive attitude the industry takes towards its quest of manipulation, brainwashing gamers out of their bottom dollar.
Also surprising: Top Tier Tactics receives real life press releases. Yep, the very same ones that go out to the real life press! The fun part about these releases is how certain announcements, like the one I am about to share with you, are given to us like we’re supposed to report them as good news. Maybe if we were IGN and we had some profit margin that was inextricably tied with the success of the game industry (or any profit at all,) we would indeed be excited by all the business of game marketing and encouraged to tell you that everything is good. But no, we are the most jaded (and the poorest) people in the world, and so without further ado here is some very unappealing news about one of the specific ways corporations compete for your money: data mining!
I’m not sure why you’re reading this. By now, you either have an iPad, want one, or despise everything it stands for and think that anyone who owns one is a dark herald of Steve Jobs and his Apple cult of doom. But for those 2 of you who are still on the fence about it, here’s a review of the device for gamers from a man who hates Apple yet bought one on launch day.
With 2011 in view, it’s time to take a long, hard look at the nasty habits you’ve accumulated and take a solemn oath to change for the better, if only for the first two weeks of January. While I could use this space to talk about my own resolutions for the year, I don’t have any personal flaws. However, dear reader, you most certainly do. Let’s look at the top 5 ways you can become a better gamer and a better person as we jump into a brand new decade.
Look, fact of the matter is there aren’t a whole lotta games about gay protagonists out there. And of the ones that do exist, most of the heroes aren’t purple dragons. This is too fucking awesome to not take a look at!
The last time WiNG wrote an angry rant, he regretted it for months. But this time’s different, right?! Facing increasingly bitter opposition to his preferred form of Assassinate gameplay, WiNG fires a warning shot.
Every last gauntlet within a 50-mile radius has been thrown. The T3 ACR Tournament Finals are done and WiNGSPANTT has sifted through the pile of corpses to determine the Grand Champion. Who is it, and how did it all go down? Watch now!
It’s the first week of Soul Calibur V, and WiNG is looking for every possible trick to use in his online bouts. Luckily, AvoidingthePuddle shows off some nifty defensive moves to keep your life bar green and your armor unscoffed.
Guest writer Grahf is back with Part 1 of his Killing Floor beginner’s guide. In today’s lesson, you’ll learn basic strategies to deal with enemy AI, ways to play nice with teammates, and just how sweet it is to continually slay zombies.
