Gamers understand that having the right gaming set up is essential for ensuring comfortable playing for hours at a time. Being able to sit at your computer and move around with ease is critical for avoiding wrist injuries and the frustration of when the cord seems to snag on things it should not snag on. Making sure that you have a mouse bungee is a cheap, easy way to making sure that your gaming set up is perfectly able to keep you feeling comfortable throughout game play. What are Some Problems Gamers without Mouse Bungees Experience? The biggest problem that gamers who lack mouse bungees come across is the snagging of the cord. Despite your best efforts, gravity works to keep the mouse cord falling behind the desk or going to its lowest point. This is where snags are caused, and they are especially frustrating to gamers because the snag…

The Gambling World in Star Wars
Throughout the Star Wars franchise, gambling has played a big part in the lives of our favourite characters. In one of the most recent movies, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, a whole new city based purely around gambling was introduced to the scene, called Canto Bight. This city is only for the wealthiest in the universe and is filled with racetracks and casinos. Here we take a look at gambling in the Star Wars franchise, including some of the most famous scenes and casinos in which gambling took place. The Casinos in Star Wars With Star Wars being a very family-friendly franchise, the casinos are not seen for very long throughout the movies, but they are often visited and mentioned in many of the spin-off pieces and this proves just how much gambling is a part of the universe in Star Wars. There are a few casinos that we see…

Here is a list of some of the upcoming events for April.DISCLAIMER: ALL DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. Daily Login Character for April: B2 Super Battledroid Tinfoil hat time: the return of JKR seems a bit quick. What if, perhaps, they’re using it to hide a legendary event for Malak? No CLS is also really odd. I would’ve bet the house we’d see that. Maybe it’ll overlap with the Daring Droid event like it did last time.

LucasFilm Games is Hiring
Lucasfilm is looking to get back into the games industry. They have posted a list of jobs at Disney Careers. Many of these are positions for Lucasfilm Games. There are open positions for: Producer Brand Art Coordinator Brand Marketing Coordinator Assistant Producer Associate Brand Art Director Associate Brand Marketing Manager Assistant Producer – Asia Could this mean a revival of LucasArts? It’s too early to tell right now because it seems like it’s just going to be LucasFilm for games under the existing EA contract. It’s actually not likely that it’s a revival of LucasArts we we knew it before. Most likely, it’s something else. These are publisher positions, not developer positions, so they are not doing internal games. Instead, they are working on projects already in the EA/Disney umbrella. Either way, it’s interesting. And if you’re looking for a position in the industry, this could be a great open…
Replaying the Classics: TIE Fighter
It’s another session of “Replaying the Classic”“. Boy, do I love these! It’s so much fun to see my favorite games coming back into the forefront. It’s so much fun to reminisce over the best Star Wars games of yesteryear, and it’s a great introduction to the younger generation of Star Wars fans who may not have had the great pleasure of playing these the first time around. Some of the games that have been shared in this series so far have been favorites of mine. Others were a little before my time, or on a platform I didn’t own. But this one is one that I definitely played a lot! As a little girl, I dreamed of becoming a pilot and seeing all the ships in Star Wars really made my dreams full of flying them in space. Video games made that fantasy at least a little closer to…
Gambling: An Examination Into Gaming Addiction
Gambling is everywhere. Lottery tickets, casinos, poker tournaments, online gaming, and sports betting. As a society we are inundated with opportunity to take a chance, spin the wheel, roll the dice, and perhaps win big; or just as likely, lose big. In fact, recent surveys have shown that in the United States alone, 80% of adults 21 and older have engaged in some type of gambling activity. With the growth of the gaming industry, the advent on online casinos (for example German online casinos – https://automatenherz.com/online-casino/ ♠️|♥️|♣️|♦️ ), and other online gaming sites, more and more people are introduced to gambling at a younger age. With the popularity of Celebrity Poker, Poker Stars tours and televised tournaments appearing on mainstream TV, gaming seems to be everywhere, and everyone seems to be doing it. Gambling is part of American culture. For most, it is simply an enjoyable pastime. Based on a…

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes: Update on zFinn Changes Coming Next Update
Capital games are finally ready to launch the changes to zFinn in the next game update. Check it out: Previously, I mentioned that we found some additional issues since Tophat’s last post around zFinn’s kit and that we would need to take another pass to fix the infinite loop in Phase 3 of the Sith Raid with zFinn and C-3PO. We had shared a possible solution earlier, but while the changes TopHat discussed prevented infinite loops in Phase 3, in further testing we realized we inadvertently added a new trivializing loop to Phase 1, so we have made some additional changes from the reworked kit you originally saw here. In order to address the Phase 1 problem, we needed to make more extensive changes, which we feel impacted Finn’s core identity. For that reason, we will be refunding the materials spent to upgrade his leader ability. Whatever you personally invested…

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes Developer Insights: Darth Revan
The Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes, CG_SBCrumb, sat down with CG_ParkingInstructor to discuss Darth Revan and where this character fits into Galaxy of Heroes. If you haven’t met CG_Parkinginstructor, he is a designer who mainly works on character creation and was the main designer on Darth Traya, Darth Sion, Chewbacca, and Ahsoka Tano (Fulcrum) among many others. OVERVIEW SBC: So who is the Darth Revan character?PI: Darth Revan is a dominant leader for the new Sith Empire faction and powers up a team by weakening its own defensive capabilities. Darth Revan will lead a very aggressive Sith Empire team that aims to take down enemies quickly but with a different approach than most. Darth Revan’s kit is focused on effectively taking down the enemy leader while applying beneficial debuffs. We think this will be a very powerful character with longevity in PvP and do fairly well in raids. Check out Darth Revan’s kit…

SWTOR: Technical features coming in 5.10.2
Here are some of the ” under the hodd” canges Bioware is planing to add with game Patch 5.10.2. Under the Hood with SWTOR Today we want to pull back the curtain about the development process a bit, in order to talk about two feature updates that our engineers have been feverishly working on – better dynamic placeable objects and a more robust Preview Window. Both will be included with Game Update 5.10.2 ‘Heralds of Victory’. To really explain the breadth of this update, we’re going to try something a little different from what we normally do and go deeper into the tech-side of our explanations. With that, let’s dive in! Dynamic Placeable Objects (DYNs) First off, let’s talk about what DYNs are. DYNs are objects that designers place in the world that can change or be changed, based on how they’re set up. Nearly everything you interact with in-game is based…
Evolution of Star Wars Games 1982 – 2018
★Evolution of Star Wars games from Atari to PlayStation 4★ ★1982 – 2018★ Star Wars gaming is as old as me! Every year or so, I get excited about writing one of these. This year, there’s an awesome video compilation I can add to it (up to 2018 games). Perhaps we will FINALLY see some great new Star Wars games added to the mix in 2019 so next year’s roundup article and video will have some new material. Seriously though, every time I look at this, I see how far things have really come. How far the gaming industry has come, how much the graphics and playstyle has evolved, and how much we must love our Star Wars because it’s still alive and well for new generations to enjoy!

We’ve written here on the site before about why SWG is very much worth your time, and SWGEmu makes it easy and accessible for you to play the game. I’ve touted the game and it’s many features here before, but honestly, it really is a great, fun, wholesome Star Wars game. There is so much to see and do – as with many MMOs, so how you choose to play the game is up to you. If you’re a returning Star Wars Galaxies fan who longs for the “good ol days”, or a new player who never had the change to experience it in its original glory, SWGEmu gives you that chance. Here’s a video that answers the question of why you should try the game and it really gets to all the basics. Bottom line: It’s a great game…
