If you ask a parent whether playing video games is necessary for a child’s education, you will get the same answer from most people, which is ‘NO’ accompanied by various reasons why video gaming is no good for children. Some of the most common arguments include inappropriate content or violence; inactivity and bad habits, which lead to obesity; inadequate social skills; waste of time; and minimal use of imagination. The point is that in some cases, these reasons are valid, but it refers to isolated incidents rather to a rule. The point is that researchers are discovering the positive impact of video games on kids concerning education. In this respect, gaming in the classroom has become a prevalent method of teaching due to the accessibility of the technologies. It is because there are more benefits of video games than harm. Video Games Makes Learning Easier Perhaps you and your friends…

New Star Wars Game Features – What to Expect?
There are so many news on the horizon that it’s hard to choose one to begin with. But let’s better start with the most important one: we’re getting a brand new Han Solo skin! Not just Han Solo’s, but also Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian and Leia’s. For the Han Solo and Lando’s skin, we’re positive that they are featured as the actors from the movie, Alden Ehrenreich, and Donald Glover. All of the Star Wars players were eagerly expecting some new features, new characters, and new locations. And that’s what they got. Apart from the aforementioned skin updates, Millenium Falcon is also coming with a fresh new skin. But that’s not all.

Star Wars: Force Arena – 7/04 Update Details
Another update is upon us, featuring adjustments made on the arena to improve the overall experience of the game. For details, please see below: ■ Balance Adjustments A Balance Patch is made on the cards listed below. All numbers listed in the Balance Patch are based on the cards at Level 1. Dark Side Unit Balance Dryden Vos Dryden Vos is a very aggressive Leader, but due to the short duration of his “Rage” skill and the difficulty of utilizing it, many Squad Leaders did not give much thought into using him when he first debuted in the game. A decision was made to increase his skill’s duration, so get ready to use Dryden Vos in the battlefield! Bossk Bossk’s special ability is to gain energy when defeating an enemy leader, which can become a powerful weapon on 2v2 battle, where the skill could be used continuously. Thus, a patch was…

SWTOR: PvP Season and Reward Changes
Eric Musco just informed us, that the SWTOR devs are making some changes to Ranked PvP. The main goal is to make the seasons shorter. Check it out: Hey folks, Starting with Season 10 we are considering some changes to the frequency of Ranked PvP Seasons and how we structure rewards. Let’s talk about what our goals are for these changes and what we intend to change. Goals We have a few specific things we want to address: Seasons are going longer than we would like. Although this gives us a lot of time to put together awesome rewards, it does mean you have to go many months within one season. Having a new Currency to collect every Season can be clunky and adds extra complexity to earning and spending currency. We have heard a continual desire to bring back prior Season rewards in a fair but accessible way. The…

Why PDF Readers Are Better Than Online PDF Reading Options?
Since the success of PDF readers, Chrome, Firefox and Safari have come up with their own PDF reading extensions. Users just need to download an extension and can read PDF files on their browser. However, the question is, do they provide the same functionality as a full blown PDF reading software does? Let’s find out. Online PDF reading options are nothing like full PDF software. Here’s why PDF readers are better than other online options: Enhanced Performance When you want to use PDF files for professional purposes then compromising on the performance is not an option. There’s a huge difference when you upload large PDF files on a PDF reader and on an online software. The PDF reader easily loads large file and in much lesser time than the other option. The reason being, PDF readers utilize less amount of RAM to open a file while a browser consumes a…

Games In Which You Can Never Win
A theoretical chance of winning should be present in any play for it to be considered a real game. When all you have is a prospect of a sad and sour loss, it’s not worth to engage in the playing process altogether. Some say you should focus on the journey and not the destination, but for some of us destination means much more than the journey. Nobody wants to be a loser, the result of the game matters the most, as it defines us as players, as masterminds behind the moves. Being caught in a situation where you can’t win is unfair. Some players just have an advantage over us, but there’s one competitor that will not give you any chance, not even a mathematical one. Artificial Intelligence Yes, that’s the one. AI wins every time and because of that many bright minds think that the machines will take over…

The Dark Resurgence: A Star Wars Story (Fan Film)
There are so many things to love about May 4th, but of those, one of my favorites is all the Star Wars fan films that come out. There are so many great Star Wars fan films out there and in May of every year, we get to see even more. It’s an exciting time for any Star Wars fan. With that in mind, here’s another great film to add to your list. It’s just under 15 minutes long, so it’s a quick watch, but I think you’ll like it as much as we do. From Mike The Marine: “I’m proud to finally present, The Dark Resurgence: A Star Wars Story!!! My team and I worked hard on this film for a little over 2 years! Due to my school and work, the visual effects and editing took much longer. But in the end, the Force was with me and I…

All numbers listed in the Balance Patch are based on the cards at Level 1. Dark Side Unit Balance Supreme Leader Snoke Snoke is a Dark Side Leader with a relatively high win rate in Force Arena. His physical strength and maneuverability are weak, but it is compensated by his powerful attacks and skills that uses the Force, which made it easier to stop enemies in their tracks. This has become a huge disappointment to Squad Leaders who face against him, especially those who use melee ranged Leaders. It has been decided that Snoke’s…

SWTOR: Revised Huttball changes
Eric Musco just updated the communnity on the upcomming changes to Huttball: Planned Warzone Changes Part 2 Hey folks, Based on all of the feedback we have been reading in this thread, we are going to be walking back some of our proposed Huttball changes along with adding a few new ones. Let’s start with what we are not doing: We will no longer apply Hinder to the ball carrier. Ball carriers will once again move at 67% move speed (down from 80%) Although we are fine with tanks being the best ball carriers while under the effects of Hinder, we hear your concerns that these changes could cause Huttball to become a stalemate too often. We are also sensitive over your feeling that certain Classes would be too limited and unable to defend themselves while carrying the Huttball, since many defensive capabilities are tied to movement abilities for several…
SWTOR: Upcoming Matchmaking Changes
BioWares Eric Musco informed the community, that company is making changes to matchmaking. This will be live with Patch 5.9.2. Hey folks, Matchmaking is another place that we wanted to make some pretty big improvements for Game Update 5.9.2. Below you will find our planned changes: All Warzone and Starfighter queues are now cross-faction The Unranked Warzone queue will now always prioritize Warzones over Arenas. An Arena match will only pop if there are not enough players to populate a full Warzone match at that time. Role Balancing: Matchmaking will never place more than 2 tanks or healers on the same team in a Warzone or 1 tank or healer for an Arena. Matchmaking will always do its best to balance the amount of tanks and healers on each team. If there are 2 healers, each team will receive one if possible, the same is true of tanks. In situations where…

Star Wars: Dresca – Award-Winning Fan Film
Here is another great Star Wars fan film. This one from Damsel in Damnation in honor of May the 4th. Not only is this an awesome short, but it’s also great to see the female lead and a fan film written, directed, and produced by a female fan. As a fellow female Star Wars fan and nerd, I love seeing this and supporting women doing an amazing job in this field. It has great acting, great CGI and effects and a wonderful story that will keep you hooked until the very end. It’s actually written and performed well enough that it could be part of the official canon (maybe minus a nitpick but overall, a winner). It’s honestly one of the best Star Wars fan films I’ve seen, and those of you who read our site often know that I have seen a lot of them. It has a great, original story,…

The guys over at BioWare Austine is planning to make some changes to the Warzones in SWTOR. This was already mentioned in the 2018 summer roadmap update a few weeks ago, but here are some more updates about it: As Keith mentioned in the roadmap we are looking to make some Warzone changes this year, starting in July. It is our plan to try to get these on PTS as well, but before we get to that point we wanted to get your opinion on our plans. Below you will find the changes along with our goal for these changes. Let us know your thoughts. The goals of these changes are: To shorten the average time of our Warzones to be around 12 minutes. We have a few WZs that are taking quite a bit longer than that currently. We have some WZs that are exploitable due to environment hacking, we want to…
