Apex Legends Patch 1.1.1
Apex just received a much needed patch on April 16.
Players have been reporting disadvantages when using two of the larger characters, Gibraltar and Caustic. The major issue being that they are just plain old much larger targets, and therefore easier to hit, with no real advantage to their size. After analyzing their game data, and listening to tons of players complain for months, it seems developers have finally answered with a patch of improvements and adjustments.
EA hopes these improvements will encourage players to use Gibraltar and Caustic more often, making them more competitive against nimble characters like Wraith and Bangalore.
EA is addressing this concern and some other known UI glitches, as well as some weapon balancing problems, in the 1.1.1 Patch!
Caustic and Gibraltar | Apex Legends, EA.
Patch Highlights
- Caustic and Gibraltar received a new passive perk called "Fortified", granting them 10% damage resistance!
- Weapon Balancing: Improved lower body damage when using Sniper weapons, Reduced Sniper weapon sway, improved DMR buffs, reduced Spitfire damage, Reduced magazine size for Wingman, improved mag size and beam charge for Havoc.
- More Battle pass XP opportunities planned for this season
- Jump Ship speed increased by 50%
- Bug fix: UI glitch with incorrect boost badge percentages shown.
Need more detail? Yeah, we thought so.

Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War beta Day 2
The game is a blast to play. I am not one who tends to play these competitive first person shooters but I'm starting to think maybe I should be spending more time playing them. I did get better over the course of playing but still got obliterated each round. Some of that was due to glitching in the game but generally it was just me.
Call of Duty Cold War Beta
I don't play a lot of competitive first person shooters. Call of Duty specifically I haven't played since high school. That made getting Beta access to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War a little nerve wracking. I figured that I should record my first attempt at playing this game so that you can what it's all about
Katamari Damacy Reroll
Most games that I remember from years past are the classics known for their great gameplay. I can confidently say that's not the case for this game. The crazy nature of this game, from animation to concept, is definitely what has kept it in my mind all these years.
Shovel Knight
This quirky throwback to old style gaming got me hooked pretty quickly. Even with it's simple play style the game offers a variety of challenges that'll keep you staring that the screen.
Pikmin 3 for the Switch
I bet there is a number of you out there who are going "Finally a third Pikmin!" Well sorry to burst your bubble but the game has actually been out for a long while. Whether you've never played the third game or just haven't touched it in a while the free demo in the Nintendo Store is worth the download!
Skyrim Throwback
Although the game came out 9 years ago it still has a lot of playability today. Whether you're just trying to find areas that you've never explored or creating a whole new build opposite or what you normally play there's numerous ways to keep you interested. With the addition of the Amiibo it can be even more exciting.
Sine Mora
The game reminds me of a classic arcade side scroller game but with an upgraded 3D depth to the scenery. Flying in a plane (that can also fly underwater?) while shooting the things that come onto the screen to stay alive and hopefully upgrade as you go!

Death of the DS
Nintendo has adamantly stated that the DS would not be brought to an end because of the Switch. This was hard to believe as the Nintendo Switch is very similar to the DS consoles. Staying true to their word for much longer than anticipated their latest update may bring an end to the DS.
