If you are a true gamer or know someone who is, you would notice that their rooms are decked out with everything that they need to make their gaming experience a delightful one. Their gaming setup would include ambient lighting, a gaming chair, a high-definition display, a gaming console or gaming PC, and much more. Some would also have a mini-fridge in their room so that they don’t have to leave their stations for anything at all.

Speaking of mini-fridges, you must have come across the Xbox Series X Mini-Fridge meme if you follow gaming channels and groups on social media. It has caused quite an uproar, especially since Microsoft announced that it will make the meme a reality. Let’s talk about how the story unfolded.

How it Started

If you are a console gamer, you would be aware of the plethora of memes in which people make fun of the design of the Xbox Series X, which is Microsoft’s latest offering. The design of this console was made fun to the extent that Microsoft

While the likes of Twitch and Mixer are the big-boys of the spectator based streaming platforms, YouTube TV has lagged behind a bit. The company is looking to rectify this with the signing of three big-name streamers to exclusive content deals.

Lannan “LazarBeam” Eacott, Elliott “Muselk” Watkins and Rachell “Valkyrae” Hofstetter were each signed to the deals, which will see them creating content through the YouTube Gaming and YouTube brands. The three gamers have more than 21 million subscribers between them, while also holding large audiences on other platforms.

The 6’8”, two-time champ Dr. Disrespect has signed an agreement with Skybound Entertainment that’ll see the development of a possible television show featuring the legendary gamer.

Doc, who’s real name is Guy Beahm, announced the deal this week with the studio, which was founded by Robert Kirkman, the creator of The Walking Dead comic series. The series would be a narrative style affair, which would explain the origins of how Doc came to be.

The Doc has been one of the most popular streamers in the world, generating millions of viewers and millions of dollars in revenue from his Twitch channel. He’s also gone on to sign endorsement deals with the likes of G-Fuel, generating additional revenue streams.

Doc’s channel took off after the release of Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds, where his endearing and brash persona mixed well with killing off other players. He’s also a big streamer of Call of Duty games, as well as the occasional day of Fortnite matches. He oftentimes

With Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 now out and available for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, the reviews are starting to roll in.

The general consensus for Black Ops 4 is very good. In fact, many people are claiming Black Ops 4 to be the best COD game for a long, long time.

It seems that long term COD lovers and COD haters are coming together to enjoy Black Ops 4.

There are three key elements to Black Ops 4’s latest success. The first is the refined multiplayer, which adds important changes to health, gadgets, and overall balancing.

These changes are huge for competitive gameplay and make a big difference for the casual players, too. It’s a fresh change for COD that has brought a lot of players back to the franchise for the first time in years.

The second winning feature for Black Ops 4, and perhaps the most impactful, is the new Blackout Battle Royale mode. Many people are putting down Fortnite for the first time since it launched to pick up and play Blackout. Interestingly,

While all of the hype has been surrounding Blackout recently, Treyarch certainly hasn't neglected the standard Black Ops 4 multiplayer by any means.

In fact, Treyarch has been very busy balancing and updating the game after their past multiplayer beta, and they have just now announced two new maps that'll be appearing in Black Ops 4's multiplayer.

The first map is Summit. This is a fan favorite from the very first Black Ops game, and many people are happy to see it return.

Summit is a research facility covered in snow. It's a fairly small map but it offers some excellent opportunities for close quarter combat.

The second map that Treyarch announced is Morocco. This is a brand new map that Treyarch mentioned will be available from October 12. Morocco takes part in a small Moroccan village. The full description for this map is as follows:

“Rebels in a small Moroccan village are using government military support planes as target practices as they fly over

We have finally been given more information about the upcoming Fallout 76 beta across all platforms.

Bethesda has revealed some details about the beta and when we can expect to get access to it. Take a look at what we now know below.

Bethesda has announced that the Fallout 76 beta will come to the Xbox One first on October 23. One week later, the beta will be available for PlayStation 4 and PC players.

Bethesda has made it very clear that while they are excited to show people Fallout 76 for the first time, the beta is designed to be a stress test. As a result, the servers may go down, they may break, and there may be performance issues.

Bethesda also said that the servers will be going online at targeted timeframes so that Bethesda can get as many people online at once.

Bethesda says they will reveal the live server times at a later point, but the servers will be live between four and eight hours at a time.

What's exciting is that the beta will

A brand new Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer has dropped and it showcases more gameplay elements. We finally get to see what it'll be like to actually play the game.

The trailer begins by different criminal activities the player can take part in. This includes large bank heists, train robberies, or store hold ups.

The trailer also showcases rival gangs and outlaws. Players will need to keep their wits about them as they explore the world as there will always be danger around the corner.

The trailer also showcases what it will be like to constantly be on the run from bounty hunters and the law.

As teased from the last trailer, we got to see a further look at the new deadeye system. It will now have multiple stages. You can slow time, paint multiple targets at once, or see critical areas on a particular enemy.

Besides typical criminal activities like explained above, Red Dead Redemption 2 will also offer a number of less dangerous activities.

Examples

If you’re a diehard Call of Duty fan, you’ll already know the majority of game modes featured in most games like the back of your hand.

One popular game variant that has seen a lot of popularity in the past is Hardcore mode. Typically, a COD game will have hardcore variants of existing game types. For example, hardcore Search and Destroy or Team Deathmatch.

Hardcore mode reduces a player’s HUD and makes the time to kill far quicker. This makes dying a lot easier, hence the name. There has always been a mixed reception for hardcore mode, but many players love it.

Thankfully, Treyarch announced that hardcore mode will be coming to the multiplayer for Black Ops 4. No details have been shared about how it will work, though. With Black Ops 4 using an entirely new health system, the hardcore mode will need to be adjusted to fit this system.

Treyarch also revealed that while the standard multiplayer will get a hardcore mode, Blackout will not get such a mode. There

Out of nowhere, Mojang has announced a brand new Minecraft game.

The new game is called Minecraft: Dungeons and it takes Minecraft to new territories.

Mojang has unveiled that Minecraft: Dungeons is more like a side project that will exist alongside the original Minecraft game.

As the name suggests, Minecraft: Dungeons is a dungeon crawler game. It uses the same engine and existing Minecraft assets, but it will be an entirely different gameplay experience.

In Minecraft: Dungeons, up to four players will be able to join up to fight through underground levels, battling new mobs, bosses, and collecting loot.

The environments in Minecraft: Dungeons will be procedurally generated, but players will go through small levels, as opposed to the main Minecraft game which has an infinite open world.

Despite the announcement for Minecraft: Dungeons, development for the main Minecraft game isn't slowing down. Mojang has kept to their promise to keep pushing free

Fortnite season 6 has dropped and it's easily one of the most exciting seasons we've seen so far. Here is a quick overview on everything that has been added in season 6.

First, let's start with the new map locations.

In season 6, four new locations have been added - corrupted areas, corn fields, and haunted castle. The fourth place is a large floating island that moves around the map. There are also other changes spread throughout the map.

The season 6 battle pass is also filled with 100 new cosmetic items and plenty of other rewards. There are two new evolving skins - one called Calamity and another called Dire.

Both advance as you level up your battle pass. The Dire skin is perhaps the best we’ve seen so far - you start off as an ordinary man but slowly turn into a wolf as the skin evolves.

There are of course many other great skins in the new battle pass, including the Nightshade pumpkin head skin.

Pets have been added to Fortnite, as well.
