[Typing] Greetings. Seeing as I just did a video on PC games and boxes and stuff, and small boxes, I figured I may as well just kind of show the state of affairs of PC games at retail in America at the moment, and I haven't been in a Walmart in a while to check out their PC game section, but since I talked about them in that video, I figured why not?
Somehow the Battle Chest for Diablo is still being sold, Diablo II. Ah, I think that's great. But This? Space Engineers? This is an Early Access game; it even says so right there. How is this being sold in a store, and why https://hostaltitude.com/? I had no idea that Roller Coaster Tycoon World got a physical release, and it's $39, too, which is 5 bucks more than it is on Steam. Doesn't look like the Deluxe Edition, which is 39 on Steam. Crapload of Sims games, they're still selling the Sims 3 expansions here; places like Best Buy and Target have stopped selling those, last I checked. Eh Sims 4 packs, there's no discs in them. There haven't been in a long time. Didn't know SUPERHOT had a physical release either; I'd like to get that. Like, I'm never gonna pay the full price for these, 'cause I mean I own like all this stuff already on Steam, digitally. They do still sell these jewel case ones, which is interesting. A lot of stores have stopped carrying them entirely. Most of them are just these sort of hidden object games, although I do see this. That's intriguing, no idea this had a physical release at all. Again, I have it on steam, I don't need it, but... Wow, what the heck? Spintires got a physical release. That is cool! It's on clearance, too; I don't know how much. I'm gonna get that. And, yeah, the rest of it, there's just your kinda standard there's some Guild Wars Slots things Heroes of the Storm, that makes sense These others make sense, you know? Battlefield, Call of Duty, whatever. Civ Starcraft I'm just really shocked at Space Engineers... I'm gonna get it; that's so strange. Eh, why not check out Sam's Club while I'm out in this area. If you're not familiar, it's owned by the same company as Walmart, but the PC game section is a absolute shell of what it used to be back in the day. I mean, this is it. You get, like, these. [laughs] So, it's interesting, there's still bigger boxes than what I saw at Walmart, so, instead of just being little jewel case releases, a lot of them are in here, although I recognize that one being in a DVD case. But yeah, a lot of other stores would just have these in those little jewel case things in a sleeve. I always wanted to get an "open" sign for some reason. As for console games, it's even more ridiculous. It's— They don't even have them on display. You just get a piece of cardboard, and then you take it up to wherever up front and they'll get you the game out of storage somewhere to prevent theft, and they've done that here for a long time. Back in the '90s and early 2000s, it was these kind of shelves that they just stuck all the big-box PC games on, and you can see from the height it would make sense they would just line them up in boxes very much like this and they were just in a row. So they just filled up all that space with those large boxes. I miss that. None of this is really surprising at all if you've been to retail stores in the US in years now, but I thought it would just be sort of interesting to see what the state of things is after that video reminiscing about Sam's Club and Walmart stores and Costco, and big box PC releases in the mid- to early 2000s. Uh, yeah. There's a lot of crap in here that I don't need. Thanks for watching!

Like how they are all clumped together like this. - Oh yeah. - Ready to give it a spin Devon? - I'm ready. - Three, two, one. In Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, the Major is everything. There are other big tournaments, with their own prestige and their own history. But Majors are in a class of their own. The prize pool and the bragging rights stand apart. And, until January, North America had yet to win a single one.
"Like this is the joke we had all weekend long where it's like a Kazakhstani team won the Major. Where you at now NA." "What up now NA WOO!" "Kazakhstan you know, ehh ehh. North America. What is going on here." At the 11 prior official Valve Majors, only six NA teams had made it out of the main group stage. Only one had reached the grand final — Team Liquid, whose roster was majority American but anchored by Ukrainian superstar Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev. That team made an incredible run at Cologne in 2016, but it ended when they fell to Brazilian powerhouse SK Gaming boku casinos Canada . The constant NA heartbreak had to have a source, but it was difficult to pinpoint what exactly what that might be "And so, the talent is there in the United States. what's always been the hold up it seems is the buyouts, how expensive it is, how expensive it would be. and so or you just kind of have to cheat a little bit and go full liquid and get one of the best European players out there and maybe use him as a standin." Given North America’s history at the Majors, fans were less than hopeful that the streak would be broken in Boston. But the region’s the best bet was Cloud9. The team had gone through changes in August 2017, with n0thing and Shroud leaving the roster, which seemed to highlight internal strife. "Kind of couple weeks before it ended, I kind of felt there was definitely internal conflict in the team. Things like that are bound to happen you have different age levels, different maturity levels. Stuff like that is just bound to come up. No point into getting team stuff I believe that stays in the team." "There is always kind of a barrier right, and this is the unwritten rule when it comes to players is whatever is happening in the team, you don't talk about it with anyone. It's like mob families. Whatever's happening in the family, that's family business and you are not hearing about it. right you're not talking about that to anybody else." "It's not much to talk about really, two weeks ago or something I messaged Jack and I was like "Hey." Jack's the owner of C9 by the way I was like "Hey. I kind of want to step down. I would love to be your guys' backup, I wanna see where full time stream takes me." And he was super supportive he was like "Let's do it. Let's make it happen." Let the record state. That I asked to see myself out." Replacing them were Tarik and RUSH, who had recently completed a stint with OpTic Gaming that included several high-profile victories. "NA it's kinda of dire I don't really have all that much faith in this new Cloud9 because it seems like they're still playing hot potato with the ingame leader role." The move may not have inspired confidence initially, but public opinion eventually began to turn. And the team started putting up promising results at the perfect time: the months preceding the Boston Major, set for January 2018. The strength of those results even led several analysts to rank them among the Major’s Top 5 teams. Because the roster still included three players who had helped the team achieve a 9th-11th finish at the previous major in Krakow, they were automatically qualified for the Boston Major’s “New Challengers” stage. It used a Swiss format, and C9 quickly put up wins against Envy, Sprout and Mouseports to earn their spot in the New Legends stage. Fans held their breath. Though the team had another swiss group stage to make it through, it was an encouraging performance so far. But things immediately got worse. (Casting) Down 0-2, Cloud9 looked like they would continue NA’s Major legacy by bombing out. "Yeah that first half it seems some of the problems I left them with when I was off the team, is still there. I don't know, even watching the last round there. I stood behind the players as I got ready to come on the desk and it just seemed like they were kind of upset, they're probably gonna do an interview and say they felt like they should have won because some of the rounds. Like the very last round they lost Tarik there's a miscom, Rush was supposed to peek A hall or something and Tarik said wait I thought thought you were holding the push. So I don't know if they started getting in their own heads a little bit." But for some members of C9, like Stewie2k, being 0-2 changed something. "Uhm I think after the Space Soldiers game it was a big wake up call for me. Like I said I think it kind of lit the fuel for me. That's where the fire started happening. Free spins with Microgaming

Gambling in Vegas Tips are everywhere on the internet and draw interest from friendly gambling fans searching across the internet for good online casino to win. These Proven Gambling in Vegas Tips are here, for the casual gambler considering playing poker, in Las Vegas especially.
Poker is most definitely fun, no matter where you play, and sometimes it is challenging, especially if you to be the winning player. Poker may now be the most popular casino game ever. One thing is universally true. No one wants to lose money, you want to win at gambling, right! The first of my Gambling in Vegas Tips is that If you have never played poker in Las Vegas before, don’t start out at a large casino like the MGM Grand Hotel, or The Luxor. These large casinos are too intimidating for an average casual player. Save the MGM Grand Hotel or the Luxor for later on. Work your way up to the larger casinos as you improve as a poker player. So the second one of my Gambling Tips is that there are still some smaller casinos on, and near Fremont Street, where I believe a beginner has a better chance of winning at, and these off the Las Vegas strip casinos will cost you much less money to gamble there as well. Poker is a very popular card game played by people of all ages and of both genders. Poker is a game of strategy which you will develop with experience. Winning Gambling Tips will only get you so far, really getting good at poker requires experience and skill. Poker is a game of psychological warfare which means it’s not always the person with the best cards that wins. One of the big reasons that poker is such a popular game, is that if you are very good at it, poker can make you rich. With all the Poker on TV , people have witnessed this themselves. Poker is the game that has turned lots of clerks and even students into millionaires. As I said poker is one of the most popular gambling games, and you can find your own niche in this game. All it takes is some experience, knowledge, skill, and of course luck. Casinos in Las Vegas will give you unlimited free alcohol in order to inhibit your judgement., so be wary. So another one of my Gambling tips is do not drink very much, or don’t drink any alcohol. If you are there to win, then keep your mind sharp so you can win at gambling. :More Gambling in Vegas Tips Another one of my personal Gambling Tips, is that you need to think carefully, and even decide beforehand whether or not to ‘reinvest’ your winnings, once you’ve reached your limit. Now sometimes it really is the best strategy to bet with “house money”. You will have to evaluate the situation as it arises. here you need to trust your gut instincts. You cannot apply a hard and fast rule to this type of gambling situation. I think that the very best gamblers have intuition. They sense a winning hand even before receiving any cards. You’ve got to sense when to go for it ! Then often, and like magic the cards you need appear, and you win! If you are not in tune to your own feelings, how will you be able to read your opponents? I hope that you are not turning to gambling as some kind of real financial solution for you in this tough economy. Casinos are not the answer to your financial problems. Casinos are so rich because they rely on greed. So be careful and don’t lose, or I guess I should say, don’t risk more money than you can afford. |
