"The concept for LambdaGeneration was simple - we wanted to create a site that would share all of the amazing fan content the Half-Life and Valve community make," Alex https://www.counterstrike2guide.com/articles/counter-strike-2-s-sexy-molotov-when-fan-dreams-become-fiery-reality.html says." At the time, most Valve fansites were focused on official news and there weren’t any news sites dedicated to things made by the community. I remember being frustrated seeing some really cool stuff scattered around various forums just going unnoticed, and I wanted to fix that.

Just like in any other battle royale game, it is generally a good idea in Danger Zone for players to select a landing zone that is close to their teammates. The reason for this is that teammates can work together to scavenge a whole area and can then move out as a team to hunt enemy players around the

As for the league, the next step in the process would depend on how many teams Valve ultimately allows, but let's just say there are twenty teams. Those same twenty teams could be split into two divisions of ten and then must earn a certain number of points within league play in order to maintain their spot. The ten lowest point earners would then have to take part in a relegation tournament whereby they would battle it out with a yet to be determined number of teams who have earned enough points from various tournaments to have their chance at earning a spot in the league. The league itself would play out much like ESL Pro league, being separate from all tournaments, having its own season and its own prize pool. Majors could still work in their current format, with points being assigned to current league holders that can be earned by teams who aren't in the league if they happen to defeat one of the league te

It was a busy November for me and I had little time to play games outside of Modern Warfare 3 . December will be a different story since I will be spending a lot of time with my new Zelda 25th Anniversary 3DS. Mario Kart 7 will be my first purchase for the handheld and it will be a title that will tide me over until Nintendo decides to full-fill my Skyward Sword bundle pre-order. In the new year I'm looking forward to Diablo 3 and of course Mass Effect 3 . There are going to be a lot of lengthy games in my fut

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, 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.

December is relax time for me. It's the first month in a while where I play games for fun instead of for review purposes. I plan to journey on in my restart of Skyrim on PC and make time to catch up on a large pile of games, including Saints Row: The Third, Battlefield 3 (PC) and Forza Motorsport 4 while making sure I begin Arkham City, Assassin's Creed Revelations and Uncharte

I'll definitely be playing Minecraft now that it has officially released, Rob and I will probably do a few more recording sessions with the game. I'll also be attempting to play through Gears of War 3 on 'Insane' difficulty in order to get those exclusive 'Impossible Mission' sk

Unlike games such as Valorant, where skins are bought directly from a store and are infinite, in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive knives and many other items are only created when players open cases. This causes real-money skin prices to reflect supply and demand. This means knives can be a costly purchase. According to Skincashier, the most expensive known knife sale was a StatTrak M9 Bayonet, Crimson Web, Factory New, which cost in excess of $60,

With the sudden success of the Overwatch League and the decision by Activision to start one of their own with Call of Duty , rumors now indicate that Valve is thinking about starting a franchise league for Counter-Strike Global Offensive . We'll explore why this would be a very bad idea and discuss potential alternati

Oh, December. The month when I despair of ever playing all of the games I missed during November. The only new game on my radar for the rest of the year is Mario Kart 7 . Otherwise, it's all about catching-up. Lord of the Rings: War in the North, Forza Motorsport 4, and Kinect Sports Season 2 continue to be the go-to games in my house, but Rayman: Origins and Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword top the list of games I can't wait to get lost in over the holidays. I'm also really liking what I've seen of the new SSX -- if I could play any of next year's games right now, that would be the

While others emphasized what Valve was up to, this blog was all about what fans were doing. It started out as a website before transitioning into a Discord server and a Twitter page. Now, it’s a fully-fledged social network in the making. I’ve long followed LambdaGeneration, so I was ecstatic when they reached out to me about an interview for the new initative. This group has always been the go-to place to find what the community is up to, or to uncover hidden gems - a new resource like this is a total game-changer.
