Just a month after admitting to inappropriately messaging a minor on Twitch, getting fired from his own game studio, and announcing a hiatus from streaming, Guy «Dr Disrespect» Beahm is about ready to go back to business as usual.
Of all the cyclical videogame debates that crop up on social media, few get me as riled up as whether or not developers should be painting objects yellow. Making interactable objects more noticeable by painting them a distinct color isn't a new thing for games, but the specific trend of choosing bright yellow streaks to signpost anything and everything—doorways, breakable boxes, levers, ledges, rocks—has awakened a backlash from some who believe this level of handholding works against games by stealing opportunities for players to discover things on their own.
If you ever find yourself in the middle of an argument about Call of Duty and want to toss a tank of gasoline on the fire, recite these four letters in order: S-B-M-M.

The deal is a huge win for student-athletes who previously destroyed their bodies for free, but it's also a big deal for publisher EA, as it means it can finally go back to making college football games.
I have zero interest in playing Counter-Strike 2, and yet I'm glued to the screen whenever a poster by the name of @duduckCS has something new to share. Unlike most Counter-Strike players I've ever known, who are primarily invested in their rank or the rarity of their Steam inventory, Duduck spends his nights combing through Valve's maps looking for holes in the world.
After a not-great response to a recent 10-minute IGN First gameplay preview of the upcoming Star Wars: Outlaws, Ubisoft says the August 30 release date is locked in, and the game will not be delayed.
Prime Day is technically almost over, but I'll let you in on a non-secret: the deals shall keep flowing. Amazon might be winding down, but all the other sites hosting sales at the same time are far from done, and when it comes to the best deals on gaming PCs, we're finding most of them on Newegg.
