The Night the Future Felt Like Hope
I didn’t go to the store for inspiration. I went because I was out of coffee. It was a Tuesday in early March—gray, damp, the kind of morning that clings to your shoulders like a wet coat. I hadn’t slept. My mind was a tangle of unread messages, overdue bills, and the low hum of dread that had become my baseline. The grocery store was just a pit stop on the way to another day I wasn’t sure I could face.

The Night the Arena Felt Like a Time Machine. AI-Generated.
I didn’t go to the library for answers. I went because it was the only place where silence wasn’t judged. It was the winter after my divorce. My apartment felt too loud with absence—echoes in the hallway, empty chairs at the table, the hum of a refrigerator that used to be background noise but now sounded like loneliness amplified. So every Tuesday at 2 p.m., I walked the three blocks to the public library, took the same seat by the window, and opened a book I never read.

The Porch Light That Stayed On
I didn’t notice the porch light at first. It was just another fixture on a quiet street lined with oak trees and tired mailboxes. But every night at 9 p.m., without fail, it clicked on—even in rain, even in summer heat, even when no one was home.

Call of Duty Multiplayer: What Really Separates Good Players From Everyone Else. AI-Generated.
Spend enough time in Call of Duty multiplayer and patterns start to emerge that numbers alone can’t explain. Weapons rotate, balance patches land, metas shift but player behavior barely moves. After a while, many regulars stop focusing on stats and start paying attention to how you play Call of Duty multiplayer, because that’s where matches are actually decided.

The Harsh Reality of Tarkov’s Infinite Potential
(Intro) We do a lot of talking about Tarkov and the way the game currently is. However, I wanted to take some time, go backwards and go more hypothetical with the game. Now that we are past 1.0, and we are reviewing and critiquing the game as a technically finished product, there are a lot of things that sadly didn’t make the cut. I mean there is still a chance for many different features to be added down the line depending on how long BSG continues support for this game, but in the meantime, we have everything they wanted in the final release laid out in front of us. So, I wanted to go over all the what ifs that surround EFT; the possibilities and where it could’ve gone, and just the insanely infinite potential that the game had. But sadly, the harsh reality is that the game was only a fraction of what it could’ve been and what many of us wanted over the years. Whether it was barreling towards the full release, the wheel spin over the years of trying to figure out the games identity or just missing the mark because they didn’t have the technical skill set to do so, this game could’ve been a game people enjoyed forever. And while there is a version that people can experience that removes many of the problem points the real version has, wouldn’t it have been nice if the normal game could’ve just existed without the need of a modified version as well? This game’s potential was infinite, but BSGs’ ability to deliver on that potential, sadly, wasn’t.

Checkpoint is Broken in Tarkov Arena
(Intro) Arena has essentially been multiple different games over its lifespan. When it first released, we used pre-built kits from BSG that were annoyingly bad and unbalanced, while working towards the next tiered kit we thought we wanted to use and would be fun, only to realize the fun was the grind towards the new thing instead of the thing itself. A year later, BSG completely did away with the pre-built kits and allows the player to fully customize their kits with some levels of restrictions. Alongside that, new modes and ways of engaging with Arena have been introduced. And for a while, things felt like they were genuinely better than they ever had been. However, recently, I have had some beef with this game right now; specifically with Checkpoint. Essentially, Tarkov’s version of domination from games like Call of Duty. Somehow, with every big update, this game mode feels like it’s getting worse. Just a bunch of smaller changes to mechanics and how the mode works that when put together create an experience that can be downright frustrating at times. At least Arena is still being adjusted pretty consistently, so it’s not like there isn’t room to make more changes that reverse a lot of what feels wrong, at least to me. But let’s have a conversation about Checkpoint in Arena and how it feels like the most broken game mode on offer right now. Granted, there are only four, but twenty-five percent isn’t a good batting average.

The Cricket Passion
It was a bright and clear morning, the kind that promised something special. The sunlight filtered through the trees, casting playful shadows on the green grass of the town park. Ali, a young boy known in his neighborhood for his love of cricket, was already at the field, practicing with unmatched dedication. For Ali, cricket wasn’t just a game; it was a passion that consumed him, a dream he wanted to turn into reality. Every morning after school, he would rush to the park, carrying his worn-out bat and ball, ready to sharpen his skills. The park was alive with the sound of cricket—balls hitting bats, cheers from children running after every shot, and the laughter of those who simply enjoyed the game. Ali loved every bit of it. He focused on perfecting every shot, every swing, and every bowl. His friends often joked that he could play blindfolded because his coordination and focus were so precise. But Ali didn’t play for jokes or fame; he played to master the sport he loved. One day, as Ali was heading to the park, a colorful poster caught his attention. It was pinned to the notice board outside his school. In bold letters, it read: “City Cricket Championship 2025 – Open to All Talented Players!” Ali’s heart raced. This was his chance to prove himself, to show the world what he was capable of. Filled with excitement, he ran home to share the news with his friends. Together, they formed a team to participate in the tournament. Bilal, a fast bowler with incredible pace; Kamran, a spinner known for his clever tricks; and Raza, a fielder who seemed to have eyes everywhere—they all agreed to join Ali on this adventure. With Ali as their captain, they began training every evening, developing strategies, and strengthening their teamwork. The tournament began with great fanfare. The stadium was packed with cheering crowds, banners waving, and the aroma of street food filling the air. Ali’s first match was against the reigning local champions—a team known for their experience and skill. The tension was palpable. As Ali stepped onto the pitch, he felt a mix of nervousness and determination. The first ball of the match came flying toward him. Without hesitation, Ali swung his bat with precision, sending the ball soaring across the field for a boundary. The crowd erupted in cheers. Every run Ali scored was met with applause. Every clever shot demonstrated the countless hours of practice he had put in. But cricket, he knew, was not just about individual brilliance. It was about teamwork. Ali encouraged his teammates, strategized the field placements, and motivated them to give their best. Bilal’s lightning-fast deliveries surprised the opponent batsmen, while Kamran’s deceptive spin made them miscalculate their shots. Raza’s agility on the field saved crucial runs and even took some spectacular catches. By the end of the match, Ali’s team emerged victorious. The scoreboard reflected their hard work and determination, but the real reward was the joy on everyone’s faces. Ali held the trophy in his hands, feeling a surge of pride and accomplishment. It wasn’t just a piece of metal; it was a symbol of dedication, teamwork, and dreams realized. The story of Ali and his friends didn’t just celebrate cricket as a sport. It showed how passion, discipline, and friendship could transform ordinary players into champions. Ali’s journey highlighted the importance of perseverance, leadership, and the joy of working together toward a common goal. The tournament had strengthened not only his skills but also the bonds of friendship among his teammates. Ali’s love for cricket continued to grow. Every win, every defeat, and every practice session added to his experience and understanding of the game. He knew that cricket was more than just hitting balls and taking wickets; it was about learning patience, handling pressure, and building character. Inspired by the championship, Ali vowed to keep improving, dreaming bigger, and aiming higher. In the weeks that followed, Ali’s story spread throughout the town. Young children who watched him play felt inspired to pick up their bats. Parents appreciated the dedication and teamwork displayed on the field. Ali had become more than just a talented player; he had become a symbol of what passion, perseverance, and teamwork could achieve. Cricket, for Ali, was never about fame or fortune. It was about the thrill of the game, the joy of playing with friends, and the satisfaction of giving one’s best. Every match was a lesson, every practice a step toward improvement. And with each passing day, Ali’s dream of becoming a professional cricketer felt closer and closer to reality. Ali’s journey reminds us that sports have the power to shape character, build friendships, and inspire communities. Through cricket, Ali learned the value of hard work, discipline, and teamwork. And as he looked at the sunset from the park, bat in hand, he knew that this was only the beginning. Many more matches, challenges, and victories awaited him, but with dedication in his heart and friends by his side, nothing seemed impossible. In the end, cricket was more than a game for Ali—it was a journey of dreams, struggles, laughter, and triumphs. And as the cheers of the crowd echoed in his mind, he smiled, ready to face whatever came next, both on and off the field.

What Would Seasonal Tarkov Characters Look Like?
(Intro) Now that Tarkov is past its official launch, we have the full game in front of us. From here, we don’t really know much about the future of the game regarding additional content, expansions, DLCs, and anything else BSG would want to add to the game. With the exception of expanding scavs in some capacity down the line, you either play online with the PvP version of Tarkov or go against full AI enemies by yourself or with friends in PvE. And from the sounds of things, PvE is more popular than anyone anticipated it being. But what about an optional third way to play the game that has been mentioned on more than one occasion by Nikita for years now? Seasonal characters; similar to what something like Diablo or Path of Exile do where every so often your character that is on those servers will wipe consistently, meaning everyone will always be reset at the same time regardless of how deep into the game’s progression you are. We are unsure if this is still even on the table for Tarkov, but I think just the idea alone is interesting enough to be worthy of a conversation. So, let’s talk about seasonal characters in EFT; how would they work, whether or not they would be popular, would the behave any differently than how the game works currently and whether they are still even going to happen for Tarkov. We’re so used to wipes with this game and seasonal characters could be the answer for those who are still interested in resetting a couple of times a year.

Tarkov’s Full Release – 30 Days Later
(Intro) We have now crossed the thirty-day mark on the full release of Tarkov 1.0. And over the last year or so with any large change to the game, I like to come back after about a month or so has passed and reflect on what it’s been like, have the changes felt substantial to the game’s core loop and whether or not it was worth the wait. And while some of the additions have been incredibly interesting to experience and see come to fruition, it isn’t that the things added were bad per say; it’s that at least speaking only for myself, I was expecting a little more. More of the little changes; touch ups here and there, polishing up some of the mess that was left behind. But sadly, we haven’t quite gotten there yet. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves, let’s have a conversation about 1.0 and how after a month, it’s pretty much what I expected, even though my imagination ran wild with the prospect of 1.0 for years. The full release did what it needed to, but I wish there was more done.
