First 30: Beholder 3

In cuffs? Off to a rough start in this one. lol

Beholder 3 Description Welcome to The Greatest Union! A totalitarian state that controls everything and everyone through oppressive laws, total surveillance, and intimidation. You are Frank Schwarz, a husband, and father who lost his cushy office job at the Ministry after someone set him up. The only way to avoid jail time was to make a deal with a high-ranking security officer. Now a government spy working undercover as a landlord, you must break into tenants' apartments, search them for contraband and eliminate anyone your boss wants out of the picture. At the same time, you’ll have to spy and scheme against co-workers and superiors in the Ministry to work your way back up the ladder. Different factions are secretly vying for power over the Ministry and the country – play them against each other to your advantage. Can you get your old life back, or even something better? Will you fight for change and truth or uphold the status quo? Who are you willing to sacrifice to get what you want?

Features: Work two jobs: in an apartment block and in the Ministry. Different political factions are fighting for power. Pick your side wisely. Complete quests from the Ministry: promote the ideology of the totalitarian state, manipulate flags, and spread whatever propaganda you’re told to.

Install surveillance cameras and search apartments and offices. Maintain your cover by doing everyday chores like paying bills, fixing up apartments, and keeping your tenants happy.

64% of US Adults Are Video Game Players; A Breakdown Of US Gamers in 2020

Contrary to popular belief, video games are not just for kids anymore. A breakdown of the demographics of US video game players reveals that the average age range of video game players is between 35-44 years old. According to data presented by Rex Pascual, 64% of US adults are gamers and 75% of Americans have at least one member of their household who plays video games.

3 Out 4 Americans Have A Gamer In Their Household

One of the outdated misconceptions about video games is that it is a hobby enjoyed mainly by the younger generation. According to the Entertainment Software Association, by the end of 2020, there were an estimated 214.4M gamers in the US, and of this total gamer population, 163.3M were US adults compared to just 51.1M video game players who are under the age of 18.

A survey of 4000 Americans about their video game habits revealed 64% of US adults are gamers while 70% of those under the age of 18 are video game players. The average age range of a video game player in the US is between 35-44 years old, with the 18-34 age group having the largest share of video game players at 38%. Notably, three-quarters of Americans have at least one member of their household who plays video games.

Smartphone Most Popular Device Among US Adult Gamers

According to the survey, 73% of Americans own a gaming console while 43% own a handheld system. Another 29% own a VR device while 25% own a mobile VR device. Despite the overwhelming lead of the console in device ownership, the smartphone was the most common device used by US adults to play video games at 61% compared to just 52% for consoles. Another 49% indicated using their personal computers to play video games.

The Benefits Of Gaming Became More Apparent Because Of Pandemic

The video game industry was already a growing industry even before 2020, but the Coronavirus pandemic highlighted the significance of video games even more. In 2020, 65% of US gamers indicated playing video games with other players. More specifically, 42% indicated playing with their friends while a notable 17% indicated playing with “online-only” friends or clanmates.

When asked about the positive impact of video games on their lives, 80% of US gamers believe that video games provide mental stimulation while 79% said that video games provide relaxation and stress relief. Notably, 55% of gamers also indicated that video games helped them connect with friends, a significant benefit considering the challenges brought on by the pandemic.

Rex Pascual, commented;

“2020 was a tough year for a lot of people in many respects, and for many, video games provided an enjoyable escape. Besides the innate joy that gaming brings, many other benefits such as being able to connect with friends were highlighted by the pandemic. Through the challenges of 2020, the stigma around video games being for the young and immature is slowly being broken.”

Mask Up Mondays: Muse Dash - Wonderful Pain

Wearing masks stops the spread, so imagine COVID-19 if everyone acted accordingly and wore their masks. People are dying, people are losing their jobs, people are being evicted, companies are losing business, essential workers are getting sick, and that only increases the scarcity of everything when you think about it. It doesn't require you to wear it in your car, just wear it in stores and public buildings around others, and when you're in crowded spaces and areas where you will interact with things where the public, in general, will go (i.e. gas stations).

Not sure what type of mask is most effective? Take a look at this lab test from June, where the Florida Atlantic University researchers developed a cough emulator lab configuration to determine what the most effective mask would be. The focus is air droplets and how effective certain masks are, and we have the most effective masks in the test available for you w/ a coupon code to save 15% off. So take a look at the video to verify for yourself, and... let's flatten the curve.

First 30: Just Cause 4 + First Look Xbox Series X Gameplay... hmmmm

Happy Belated Mother's Day! Fun fact, my mom got me into gaming as a little kid.

She didn't just buy me a console, she was also a gamer. These games may have been

Space Invaders, Pac Man, and retro games of that type... but it was the 80's and

I loved every minute of it!

Out of the gate in this Xbox Series X first look is... Bright Memory Infinite, take a look and I'll get back to you.

I had the honor of checking out Bright Memory... which is a taste of what's to come with Bright Memory: Infinite, and I'm excited. Bright Memory was... okay, it's like an appetizer which I still may do a First 30 on... but BM: Infinite is the experience I look forward to.

If you missed it in this first look video... the game is being developed by a single person. One person, a signal digit... yeah, impressively cool so I'm curious to see what the one-man studio delivers in BM: Infinite. I don't know if he will be able to remain his one-man team status when it comes to completing this game... but who knows. Maybe it's a goal but if the game is incredibly ambitious... who knows how long it will take for the game to be released.

I wouldn't want the game rushed, but the window of development may be a wide one if he didn't start the process years back before presenting the title for us to drool over. If you buy Bright Memory, you will get BM: Infinite... free... so that's something to think about just in case the price changes.

That said, I've seen this game before... and other than Yakuza: Like a Dragon (and a few other games), I was underwhelmed with the First Look Xbox Series X Gameplay showcase. Where was the gameplay for the most part? I saw some gameplay tucked into the game trailers but... that was about it, that didn't showcase enough to give me an idea of what to expect outside of a few elements. I won't even get into Madden 21.

Microsoft had better be ready with this console. It's sweet to hear that this Xbox (PC... basically) will allow gamers to play a variety of games dating back to the original... but the old won't replace the new. Not saying that it will but... the exclusives for XBSX need to be the trailblazers, not even the multiplatform releases like BM: Infinite. I'm not a hater... it just needs to give gamers a reason to buy.

I hope all the latest consoles do well... by way of doing right by the gamers.
