1. The last lords of Calpheon

   Teaser Paragraph:

   With the help of Sanguine, and a coincidental peace keeping mission by Addicted, Ginnunga was crowned lords of Calpheon in the very last siege of Croxus. In true nerd fashion we say good bye to the server with one last roleplay.

8. DirectX 11 vs DirectX 12

   Teaser Paragraph:

   DirectX 11 vs. DirectX 12 oversimplified.

    

   Unlike previous versions of DirectX, the difference between the new DirectX and previous generations are obvious enough that they can be explained in charts (and maybe someone with some visual design skill can do this).

   This article is an extreme oversimplification. If someone wants to send me a chart to put in this article, I’ll update.

14. The Decline of MMOs by Professor Bartle.

    Teaser Paragraph:

    Professor Richard Bartle at the University of Essex wrote a paper in 2013 that in some ways echoes many of the issues we have had in current MMOs, but the paper is for someone with my educational background, significantly lacking in sources and reads more like an article than a scientific piece of work. Perhaps the paper was mostly a way to promote his consultancy work and not really ever meant as a scientific paper.

     

    That being said, there are many interesting points mentioned by a man that has been incredibly important in the creation of our favourite game type, so let's take a look at a few of those points.

15. Learning geography made fun!

    Teaser Paragraph:

    Geography probably wasn't the most favourite subject in school for many. Boring classes, old world map without a trace of innovativity in teaching methods. But alas! Now there is a solution for fun geography learning. The game called GeoGuessr, which is a web based guessing game and is based on Google maps.

16. TitanFall in Eyefinity

    Teaser Paragraph:

    It is very hard to convey the feeling with a screenshot, but as you enter a Titan and the explosions start booming around your head, your entire vision filled with the detailed HUD and some AC/DC in the background - That feeling, that feeling is very hard to beat.

19. Shadowplay, stream and record your gameplay!

    Teaser Paragraph:

    There is a lot going on in videocard land at the moment. It is not just stronger faster, harder, bigger, better graphic cards that are being released but also software to make life easier, faster, stronger, harder, bigger, better, etc for us gamers. AMD for example is playing around with Mantle, a nifty feature where the game will directly communicate with the graphic card to make sure no power is lost and improving performance, and Nvidia has it's Shadowplay. The latter being the one I am going to promote here.

25. D3... No, wait, D(ing)100!

    Teaser Paragraph:

    For most Ginnungans Diablo 3 was a passionate, but short lasting, romance. We charged in, kicked copious amounts of ass, and were out the door like a barbarian whirlwind.

    But some lingered. Some refused to give up the carnage. Some wanted more blood, more items, more experience and more trophies. Some were not satisfied. One of those was our Belgium Brawler, Eaglix.

    Early on he set a goal for himself, to not only beat Hardcore, where your character is lost when you die, but to completely and utterly dominate it. During the months he has posted regular updates of his progress. We congratulated him when he hit Paragon level 60. Then 70, And then 80, AND THEN 90!

     

    But Eaglix wasn't satisfied. Eaglix didn't settle for anything but perfection.
