Though each video game is unique in its own way, all titles belong to genres that make them easier to categorize. While some genres date back to the ‘60s and ‘70s, many more were invented and improved upon down the line.  The invention of new genres depends on developers’ imagination and what they can create with the resources available to them. League of Legends’ roots date back to a Warcraft III mod called Dota. Featuring two teams of five, Dota was a breath of fresh air when it came out.

There are many structures in Minecraft that players will stumble upon while out exploring the world. One of the more dangerous ones is pillager outposts, which host a group of pillagers ready to fight players on sight. Pillagers are types of Illagers who seek to harm both players and villagers. One of the locations they can regularly be found in is their four-story outposts. The surrounding area around the central tower is scattered with smaller structures like tents and cages where pillagers can also be found lurking.

Developers try their hardest to keep their games free of bugs and errors, but even the best may not be able to avoid them. Though a content patch goes through quality and bug tests, there can still be unexpected inconsistencies. Sometimes, the servers may go down and cause errors like the error code five. The error code five usually appears when the servers are overloaded or when they’re under maintenance. If you happen to be in a match or in the main lobby when maintenance kicks off, you’ll likely receive the error code five.

Shiny hunting is a big part of the Pokémon experience if you plan on doing more than just beating the games and completing the Pokédex. And one thing that shiny hunters love is static encounters that aren’t shiny locked. A static encounter is when you can interact with an NPC, item, or Pokémon in the overworld and either enter a battle or receive the same Pokémon without any RNG.  In Pokémon Sword and Shield’s The Crown Tundra expansion, for example, there are several static encounters with the Regis, Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizon.

We’re only one act away from the exciting conclusion to Riot Games’ hit animated series, Arcane, and yet people are still reeling after how the second act ended. In the last two acts, both Piltover and Zaun’s main characters have existed separately from each other. In episode six, however, some main characters from both sides have finally overlapped. It makes sense that things are coming together, though, since we’re approaching the last part of the series.
