CS Legacy:GO predecessor Counter-Strike Source also gave players the opportunities to create their own Surf Maps. Thanks to Source improving on the game’s graphics and providing more flexible settings, a lot of Surf Maps stuck with Source . Classic options such as gimped surfing and bunnyhopping added a new level of thrill to Surf in Sour
With his Twitch career falling to the wayside as a result, it is estimated that ItsSliker stole close to $200,000 from people within the Twitch community, sparking a huge flurry of debates surrounding the state of Twitch gambling and how it is ruining the platform. In the wake of these revelations, extremely influential streamers such as Pokimane took to Twitter to demand that Twitch ban gambling on the platform, with her tweet receiving over 300,000 li
However, while selecting a server is easy, it’s important to take note of certain considerations when choosing a Surf Server. At its core, most creators provide the difficulty setting of their Surf Map right on the server title, with TIer 1 being the easiest and Tier 5 being the hard
Before CS:GO players head straight to the Surf Maps , it may help to learn where the concept even came from. All leads point to Reddit user u/mariowned, who apparently invented the concept of "surfing" out of boredom. As u/mariowned, or Charlie Joyce explained in separate Reddit threads , he had a pastime of using the Valve Hammer level editor to create Counter-Strike maps for his friends to play
As for 2012, well, anyone who knows me well knows that I'm a Metro 2033 fanboy, so my most anticipated title is Metro: Last Light . I'm also a huge fan of Yakuza 3 meaning I'm stoked for Yakuza: Dead Souls , not to mention BioShock Infinite , Prey 2 , Alan Wake: Night Springs , Binary Domain , and Operation Raccoon City as my first Resident Evil game, not to mention I have a nice shiny PlayStation Vita First Edition bundle with my name on it. I also plan to play Mass Effect 3 but I'm trying to keep my hype meter low for that
Before I tear into 2012 titles like Alan Wake: Night Springs , Mass Effect 3 , BioShock: Infinite , SSX , and Borderlands 2 , it's time for me to play catch-up after a busy November of reviews. I managed to resist the pull of both Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 , though it will be a holiday miracle if I don't end up caving this month and enlisting in one or the other military campaign. However, more importantly, I'm about to return to the hallowed halls of the assassins for Assassins' Creed: Revelations . Desmond's fourth trip into the Animus was one of my most anticipated titles of 2011 and I'm fully committed to becoming a master assassin - as well as collecting all the miscellaneous garbage Ubisoft has scattered around Constantinople. I've also got to clean-up some collectibles as well as pawn n00bs in a few of October/November's biggest titles, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception and Gears of War 3 . That, and I'm going to dance my heart out in Dance Central 2 - and if high scores and smooth dance moves aren't enough motivation, I've got a bet to
Prestrafing is nonexistent in unmodded CS:GO . Essentially, pre-strafing lets players gain speed by holding down strafe buttons while running - useful to gain momentum in Surf. Due to the competitive nature of CS:GO , this is removed from the vanilla g
With Black Friday over, I can now say that I'm looking forward to stabbing into Assassin's Creed: Revelations and Rayman: Origins which I picked up during the holiday hustle. I'm also almost finished with my second play through of Deus Ex: Human Revolution which is showing me just how many different ways there are to go through that game. I'm also going to grind out some more trophies for Uncharted 3 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Reco
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 Damascus Steel finish is one of the most beautiful in the game and not one you see all too often, which is great if you want to stand out on a budget. Unlike the M9 Bayonet, the Bayonet does not have a serrated edge on the back and instead has a straight edge. The intricate ripple-like patterns of the Damascus Steel finish are unlike anything else in the game. However, it can be difficult to see the pattern without going into a sheltered area on some of the brighter offerings from CS:GO's range of m
While I love other games that have true attention to detail, they really can't put me into full relaxation mode. Some of the more complex titles tend to have what I like to call "chore mode," where you have to do extra minuscule tasks in order to continue with the core game, i.e. collecting items in Assassin's Creed , or having to please your friends in GTA IV . Sometimes it's just nice to let the brain drift and kick-
