Dtoid’s editors are (not) smart PUBG players

Fear the sunken city I’ve started to notice a recurring theme throughout each of these D-Team videos. It isn’t our steadily-improving communication, nor is it Jordan’s alarming obsession with leaving his head unprotected (put a helmet on, dammit!). Instead, it’s our earnest desire to try and pull off as many dumb strategies as possible inPlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. It’s the kind of thing you don’t notice until after the fact. When we’re recording, Jordan, Brett, Steven, and I always seem to be prepared for a victory....

Two years ago, developer CCP moved toward releasingmore frequent updatesfor the game, so this type of event is a relatively regular occurrence.Citadel, however, is a pretty big milestone on that roadmap. While theCitadelupdate is a notable one, CCP doesn’t necessarily know how it’ll affect the larger New Eden universe. That’s intentional. Speaking withEVE Onlineexecutive producer Andie Nordgren at Fanfest last week, she flatly said “We’re just setting it loose and we really don’t know what people will do with (the citadels)....

King’s candy has been making $2.55 million a day in 2015, soFallout Shelterhad likely made above or around that.

FFCC The Crystal Bearers coming in time for Hanukkah?

So I got a text message from Gamestop today telling me thatFinal Fantasy Crystal Chronciles: The Crystal Bearersshould be in the store tomorrow. This came as quite a shock, seeing as the game’s biggest claim to fame (for me) was its unprecedentedKwanzaa release dateof December 26th. Still haven’t heard back from Square-Enix or their publicist on this, but the three Gamestops I’ve called confirmed that the game (not the strategy guide or some other thing) will be in stores tomorrow....

GameStop to roll out a credit card with a really high interest rate

27% APR GameStop has a reputation of upselling customers at the cash register. As annoying as incessantly turning down pre-orders and protection plans can be, though, it’s child’s play compared to what the brick-and-mortar videogame retail giant is expected to start pushing soon. GameStop is set to offer its own credit card to customers that ties directly into the company’s PowerUp Rewards program, according to anonymous sources. We obtained photographs that outline the details of the card showing that the primary incentive for signing up is 5,000 bonus points for PowerUp Basic members and 15,000 bonus points for PowerUp Pro members....
