Do you know what is the laziest trite in writing a story? To finish it with "it was all just a dream". Unfortunately, some people don’t know that, and so we have another episode of KSI’s meltdown saga.
If you don’t know who KSI is, I don’t blame you. I didn’t realize someone like that existed before, a few years ago, he got involved with infamous people, who I won’t even mention right here. Enough said their "friendship" grew bigger and bigger because of the money and money. It grew so big that they put together their minds and produced an energy drink. I know, it must have been a long day at the office - who knew it was even possible to make an energy drink?!
But since the fame of their drink quickly faded away, they came up with an even better idea - let’s become "friends" with an even bigger (supposedly) scam artist and put together a copy of a crappy product. And so they have. It was not welcomed with open hands by their audience, but nevertheless they pushed on to keep their "friendship" afloat. But then another man, I never heard of, got involved by publishing a single tweet. This put the poor KSI on a verge of meltdown - he firmly stood by his "friends" and was prepared to attack anyone who will put in question the fact that their crap is slightly better than some other crap. He kept it going for few weeks.
But since poor KSI is a man of many talents, such as... well... I guess... I mean... it’s not that important, he supposedly has many talents. So he published his newest song called... whatever it was called. Enough said no one, except poor KSI, took it seriously because of the style, the lyrics, the music, the video and the whole idea. And this pushed the poor KSI way beyond the meltdown point - he spent several days of his busy schedule fighting everyone, who thought that it was just a parody of a song. So, basically everyone. He kept it going for a few weeks.
But now, we finally know the truth - he was joking the whole time! In a podcast with a known scam artist, he declared that did it all just for the marketing of his videos. Yes, boys and girls, he was playing a complete idiot, he was pretending to be a psychotic loser, he was just acting like a pathetic little child! It was all just a dream... What was the goal? To push the views of his "song", which is supposed to be now the most viewed video on his channel. In that case, can I have a contact to your PR agency? They sound like great minds.
But that reminded me of a small detail, a meltdown he had after he lost a "boxing match" some time ago and, for some time, simply could not let go. Or when he could not let go after hearing some comment made by a boxing "expert". Or when their drink was accused of being just a caffeine with some water added. Or when their drink was sued by Lionel Messi... Damn, the poor KSI must be one of the busiest actors in the whole UK - he has been pretending to be a spoiled child for years now!
To summarize: the poor KSI made a complete fool of himself, for weeks he was acting like an idiot, lost any shreds of dignity, lost the last pieces of credibility he had and become a meme, so his legacy, his biggest video ever be a crappy song that was ridiculed by everyone? Sounds great, where do I sign up? What will be his next move? "It was a social experiment"? "It was my evil twin brother"? "I had amnesia and didn’t know what I was doing"? I guess we will have to wait for the next episode of "KSI has no real friends" show.

Quite popular youtuber videogamedunkey just announced that he has established a publishing studio called Bigmode, which will be focusing on indie productions. That announcement was met with mixed reactions, but not for some sinister reason.
To no-one’s surprise another big title have just completely cyberpunked on the premiere - buggy, under-developed, remade to appeal to everyone. And ended up quickly forgotten. Yes, I mean Saints Row.
The post-apocalyptic TV series The Walking Dead was almost an instant hit - the story of Rick Grimes and other people stuck in the middle of a zombie apocalypse brought millions of fans to the AMC channel. Until one thing happened. Yup, it’s another one bad idea that irreversibly ruined a good project.
Developing a good game is not only about coming up with good ideas, but also about realizing which the bad ideas are. This is not specific to just gaming world, it works with every piece of art, from paintings to books and movies.
Is Wargaming collapsing? Unfortunately no, but the situation in the company might not be as great as they want you to believe.
It is coming in about 12 to 15 years to be exact. After recent presentation of Starfield gameplay Todd Howard confirmed that Fallout is the basic DNA of Bethesda, so of course there will be next title...
Microsoft just rolled out its upgrade of their AI-based tool called Copilot. Or should I say "downgrade"? Because their users are somehow unhappy with the changes that were made, and it is another exa...
