That was the opening tilt of the 2011 season in Baton Rouge - a season that the Deacs would finish at 25-31. Tiger fans packed Alex Box Stadium in the opener on February 18 to the tune of a then-record attendance of 10,055. And that unbelievable fan base gave a standing ovation to the head coach.

Elden Ring's character creator is a true monster factory
Big head mode Finally, Shrek returns. From Software Steven Wright Let's be honest: while From Software's games are good at a lot of things, they aren't particularly well-known for their robust character creators, especially compared to multiplayer-focused games like Final Fantasy XIV. However, leaked video of the Elden Ring character creation suite looks like a big step up from Dark Souls 3 — especially if you want to play as a weird-looking homunculus.
The Game Pass titles to play before 2022 clogs your backlog
As the Netflix-ification of the gaming world continues apace, it's getting harder and harder to justify not having Xbox Game Pass — or the newly-renamed PC Game Pass, if that's where your platform sympathies lie. Even if you're a veteran Game Pass subscriber, however, it can be hard to tell what games are worth your hard-earned gaming time and which ones are certified duds.
Why 2021 was the year of the backlog
How do you know when you have too many games in your Steam library? That's the question I kept asking myself throughout the year that was 2021, especially the latter half. I would hear about some awesome new game through a friend or article and then take a look at the dozens (if not hundreds!) of games on Steam that I haven't even installed in the years that I've owned them, and a pang of guilt would stab me in the gut.
How 'Age of Empires IV' uses documentaries to bring history to life
When you sit down to play a video game, you probably aren't expecting to learn much, except perhaps how many headshots a zombie can take before it goes down, or whether or not your friends have been practicing their Rainbow Six Siege skills (they haven't).
Why one streamer beat four 'Resident Evil' games back to back without getting hit
Survival horror streamer MattDaRoc was facing the final boss of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis when the monstrous Final Nemesis spat an acid bubble that happened to graze heroine Jill Valentine's leg.

Rockstar offers disgruntled PC 'GTA Trilogy' owners a free game
Lukewarm coffee Look, they’re very sorry, okay? Steven Wright There were a lot of broken, busted, and buggy games released in the last few months of 2021, but Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy — Definitive Edition (pithy name, by the way) managed to be one of the very worst examples. Rockstar is once again apologizing for its unfortunate shortcomings by offering PC owners of GTA Trilogy a free game of their choice.
On the Innocence of Anthony Broadwater (and Guilt of Alice Sebold)
The story made international headlines. Anthony Broadwater, a 61-year-old black man, finally heard a New York Supreme Court justice speak a truth that Broadwater had long proclaimed: Broadwater had been wrongfully convicted for the 1982 sexual assault of an 18-year-old white college student. Ordinarily, his exoneration wouldn’t have received much attention. We have become numb to the miracle of exonerations. In 2019, for example, roughly 136 people were exonerated; that’s one person every 2.6 days.
Peter Molyneux is all about the blockchain now, because why not
MolyCoin (Patent Pending) Let me tell you a fable.

Gaming But is JFK Jr. still alive? Rockstar Games Steven T. Wright Let's just face it: GTA fans are not in a particularly good headspace right now.

‘Battlefield 2042’'s opening weekend was a bit of a mess
It should be no surprise to franchise fans that Battlefield 2042's opening weekend was a bit less than auspicious, but some longtime aficionados of the series seem to think this future-tinged entry is a bridge too far. Between complaints of major changes to the game'score formula, a lack of basic features like voice chat, and a panoply of bugs, DICE has a lot of work to do this holiday season.
Rockstar Game Launcher should stay down forever
Wasted Push it to the limit (and then right in the trash). Rockstar Steven T. Wright If you're making a list of must-play video games of the ‘00s, the classic GTA games might not come to mind immediately, but they absolutely deserve to be a part of that conversation.

Zealous 'Guilty Gear' fans mistake Mariah Carey joke for DLC tease
Strive There's just one thing I need. Steven T. Wright If you're not in-the-know about all the latest video game fighters, you might not be familiar with Guilty Gear, but the latest entry in the series, Strive, is quite the sensation in the fighting game community (often called the FGC).

The 2013 Tomb Raider reboot was almost a survival horror game
Steven T. Wright When it comes to resurrections of ailing video game franchises, the 2013 Tomb Raider reboot is one of the better ones.

Amazon's 'New World' is suffering from a bizarre currency crisis
Gaming Welcome to Bezos’ deflation nation. Amazon Steven T. Wright New World might be a hot new MMORPG on the block, but the young game still has a few problems that it needs to deal with.
