Super Gamer 86 – This Apex Isn’t That Apex

/ Mark McAvoy / Leave a comment

Apex Construct is not Apex Legends. If you go to the Chinese Steam page for Apex Construct it will tell you this explicitly. This week’s guest is Andreas Juliusson, marketing and communications manager for Fast Travel Games, and he’s here to tell us why that is.

Okay, so I love getting platinum trophies. They give my life meaning. I’ve got a total of four.

Roughdawg4 has like 1,700 of them. Platinum. He’s got the second highest trophy score on PSN in the entire world, behind only the fabled Hakoom.

In this week’s episode, Roughdawg4 regales us with tales from the trophy hunt.

Winnipeg’s annual tabletop gaming convention, JimCon, was this past weekend. I did a bunch of investigative journalism — found out what’s REALLY going on (turns out they’re playing board games and having a great time). Take a listen!

Dauphin Kings Ukrainian Night

/ Mark McAvoy / Leave a comment

Hey there!

The Dauphin Kings, an MJHL hockey team where I live, Dauphin, Manitoba, recently held its second annual Ukrainian Night, featuring: the kielbasa toss! Dennis Beyak, who does play-by-play on TSN for the Winnipeg Jets, dropped the puck before the game, and there was even a mattress race. ‘T’was a heckuva good time.

Let it be known that this is a gaming blog. Hockey’s a game. Hockey’s awesome (I am.. not awesome at hockey). So here’s some video I took of Ukrainian Night, between the Dauphin Kings and Virden Oil Capitals, on January 28th, 2017.
