Heroes Of The Dorm Caster Albert "Halorin" Hailey III Interview -- "At This Point Casting Is In My DNA Now."

Legend of Solgard 's core gameplay loop starts off pretty simply. Each level begins with enemies coming out of a portal to attack Embla and her squadron of creatures. To win each altercation, players must attack their opponents' portal and reduce the portal's hit point count to zero. To launch these attacks, players must manipulate their own different factions by matching three creatures of similar color together vertically on their side of the battlefield. If no enemy or object obstructs the creature's attack, the player can directly attack the opponent's portal, reducing the opponent's hit points. Conversely, if an enemy is in the way of a creature's attack, that enemy will be weakened or destroyed rather than the opponent's por


"I think it’s something that I’ve always been interested in, but it wasn’t until I got into college and met some people doing it that I actually took the plunge. I’m not even sure if I can classify my first "outing" as a cosplay, I threw some stuff together and did a Lady Vader back in 2012. I had fun though, and got a good look at what other people were producing, asked a lot of questions, and thought 'yeah, I really need to do this right


"Right now, I’m gearing up for Megacon. I’ll bring my Inara cosplay and I’ll be doing a Popstar League of Legends group cosplay with several friends of mine. I’m a HUGE Firefly fan so I’m pretty pumped to get some autographs! As for the rest of the year, Janna will most likely mosey out of my labyrinth for Metrocon and Supercon. I also love Holiday Matsuri, it’s just a really fun smaller convention that just feels so warm and friendly, I’ll be going back to it for sure again this year. We have yet to get a hotel room for Dragoncon (much to my dismay), so I’m not sure of the status on that venture y


This made for an extremely competitive awards season, as each gaming site elected its own Game of the Year , and last week saw The Last of Us dominating the D.I.C.E. Awards . Now the games of 2013 are set to go head-to-head once more in the British Academy Games Awards, which will take place in mid-Ma

LoL is an ever changing MOBA Game Meta Analysis, from new champions being added, items getting altered or removed, champions getting buffed or nerfed and more. You should always keep an eye and ear towards the news and talk amongst players. With any change, you might see a champion being used more often or your counters getting weaker or stronger, and you should adjust to suit t


Editor's Note: To get our hands-on experience of Legend of Solgard , DualShockers’ staff was flown out to Sweden and put up at a hotel by King, the game’s publisher. You'll read more about that trip in an upcoming arti


Similarly, Embla has her own hit points and is subsequently susceptible to enemy attacks. To avoid losing Embla's hit points, players must either take out enemy forces or place their own creatures in the path of enemies to absorb incoming attacks. However, you only have a set number of moves per each turn, so you must consider each placement pragmatica


At this year's Heroes of the Dorm tournament, DualShockers spoke to one of the casters of the event, Albert "Halorin" Haily III, to discuss his personal journey on becoming a caster, his dream opportunity, and his prediction for the winner of Blizzard's collegiate eSports tournam

Last hitting is exactly what it says on the tin, when you hit a minion and it dies, giving you gold and experience. CS means Creep Score, or minion kills and is often referred to as such, and will carry your champion through the earlier parts of the game, mostly applying to players in the lanes rather than Junglers. Again the best place to practice this is in practice mode to start off with, seeing how many normal attacks, spells only or other attacks it takes to kill a minion or what can kill a minion on what percentage of hea


On a slightly cheerier note, Galactic Cafe's funny and cerebral indie title The Stanley Parable also scored four nominations, as did the dystopian bureaucracy simulator Papers, Please , which is up for a Best Game award. Other nominees for Best Game include Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Super Mario 3D World . Tomb Raider has three nominations, as does mobile title BADLAND and Beyond: Two Sou


M: That is super important too. I think that is something a lot of people struggle with. For myself, sometimes I may do things that I feel disheartened by. But when I am happier with something I do and I personally think it's fine -- even when others don't -- that is something I can totally agree w


Anybody who has ever attended a gaming or comic convention knows that the world of cosplay is no joke. Cosplayers spend countless hours planning and building insane costumes every year, just to parade them out during convention season and show them off. Unless you're a part of the scene, you might not realize just how much blood, sweat, and tears goes into every project. We sat down with one of our favorite cosplayers this week to chat about the work that went into her League and Legends and Diablo 3 proje
