The platform is not quite finished yet, mostly because there are plans to expand and breathe more life into it. “We have a lot of plans for the platform,” Alex says. “Everything you see has been coded by just two people. I have a background in design and front-end web development. David – our CTO – is an ex-military software developer and created the system and servers behind it all. Our most requested thing right now is a native app, which we plan to work on later in the year once we feel the website is more complete. For now, we have sub-communities for major Half-Life games, mods, and topics in the work. We’re also releasing new features every week. Last week, we added mentions. Now we’re working on multi-image posts.”
Surfing is best used in Surf Maps built specifically to accommodate Surfing. These maps often feature slanted walls or ramps designed for players to “strafe” or Surf in and gradually increase their velocity. This movement results in these acti
As the name implies, this weapon skin features the iconic Greek gorgon . Players with this skin will find Medusa’s green face on one side of the AWP’s stock — with the back of her head present on the other side. The purple snakes that make up her hair are sent out in tendrils along the weapon’s b
It’s no secret that CS: GO has a massive fan base, and as a result, is pretty toxic for newcomers. New players are often picked on purely for being new, which makes any game unbearable to play. It’s an unfortunate circumstance of the game’s overwhelming success, but alas, it is something newcomers must be wary
Apex Legends: Surprisingly enough, even the battle royale Apex Legends had a Surf Map Mod that accommodates the hero shooter. Courtesy of modder Skeptation, he’s managed to transform an area in the World’s Edge Map into a very own Surfing Map. Combined with a mobile Legend’s movement abilities , Surfing in Apex Legends can get crazy real qu
“Contrary to what people may think, LambdaGeneration actually grew during Valve’s silence,” Alex explains. “Many of the news-oriented sites that once overshadowed us started to struggle – many just gave up. The community, however, did not.”
Due to this simple mechanic, Surf Maps often feature various ramps of increasing difficulty. And if players get bored enough, some Surf Maps feature combat elements that try to incorporate the map’s rather chaotic environm
Non-game related gambling remained rampant on the Twitch service despite the aforementioned controversy, with gambling content quickly rising to be one of the most popular topics on Twitch in recent years. With the rise of cryptocurrency coming hand-in-hand with increased attention on gambling on the Twitch platform, the marriage of the two controversial subjects seemed like an inevitability to many view
The Bayonet’s Crimson Web skin was released in 2013, and it’s since been one of the most valuable knife skins. It gives this knife’s blade a bright red coat of paint and tops it off with an elegant black web patt
This popular cosmetic fetches high prices. On the Steam market, it sold for $1517.38 on December 6th. Yet the weapon sells for much more on third party websites, where some users have paid over $13000 for the s
Alex’s point is an important one. I occasionally jump to Reddit to find out what’s going on with the community, perhaps to discuss some wild theories about the G-Man after a long day of bunny-hopping through the waterways of Half-Life 2, but the subs are drowned in memes. So, modding Future I go to Twitter, where it’s near-impossible to find any structured form of discussion. The only spot to find community content in a neat package was LambdaGeneration, but even then it was curated by fans – what was being lost in that process? LambdaGeneration’s new social media platform addresses all of these issues.
Someone purchased the skin for $910.33 on the 3rd of January. That’s an insane amount that only skin collectors and die-hard fans would be willing to pay. What’s incredible is that the weapon may have been sold for upwards of $7000 on third party websites , where sellers can cash in the mo
Websites quickly began exploiting the craze surrounding Counter Strike ‘s in-game items, with sites like CSGO Lotto allowing players to trade their items for eligibility into raffles for extremely valuable prizes. Many streamers began promoting these kinds of websites, often without disclosing their financial stakes in the services they were promoting. For example, popular streamer Phantoml0rd was famously permanently banned from Twitch for just this reason, despite later winning a civil suit against the platform. Twitch would quickly go on to ban these kinds of raffle or gambling websites related to CSGO , marking one of the first major gambling controversies for the serv
The newest installment in SNK’s long-running 2D fighter, The King of Fighters XV was met with a warm reception from fans of the series. Like many of the games before it though, KoF XV is very hard for newcomers. It doesn’t have as big of a player base as Tekken or Super Smash Bros, and thus newcomers will probably be facing players much better than them more frequen
