The Standard-legal Magic: The Gathering set Strixhaven: School of Mages officially launched on April 23, showcasing five colleges within the Multiverse and reprints of popular Instant and Sorcery MTG spells that have Japanese art variants via STX Mystical Archive. Using enemy color pairs connected to the five colleges of Strixhaven University, the STX set created new meta opportunities across multiple Magic formats. Various booster fun versions from borderless to extended-art are worth money, along with a large number of Strixhaven Mystical Archive Japanese variants that appeared in Draft and Set booster packs.

Streaming platforms such as Twitch exploded in popularity over the past few years, and with that came a wave of new content creators looking to get in on the action. With the rise in popularity, setting up and getting a stream live has become easier than ever. There are a variety of programs dedicated to streamlining the process. For many of these programs, there’s a few key things users will need to do before they’re able to go live.

The concept of a subathon on Twitch originates from the combination of the words “subscriber” and “marathon.” Its intent is to help a channel create an influx of subscribers with one long stream. This concept was largely made popular by an event that now YouTube streamer Ludwig ran in 2021. Ludwig’s subathon started in March and ended in April after 31 days straight of streaming, including while he was asleep. In that time, he broke the record for concurrent subscribers on Twitch with around 282,000.

One of the scariest terms in online gaming is “VAC ban.” No one wants to be VAC banned because it’s something that’s nearly impossible to come back from. You’ve likely heard of the term “VAC ban” when playing games online on PC via Steam or even in Twitch chats when someone is cheating, accusing someone of cheating, or just a troll. But what does it mean? VAC stands for Valve Anti-Cheat, which is an automated system that’s designed to detect cheats installed on a Steam user’s computer.

The legendary foes of Elden Ring are some of the strongest and toughest across all FromSofware titles. With Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro as a baseline, FromSoftware generated some of the most infamous bosses in video game history. Each has its own unique strength, move set, and gimmick, and can pose a challenge for even the most experienced souls-like players. While all bosses found in the Lands Between are beautifully designed, many players want to know how each one stacks up when ranked against one another.

The Hoenn region introduced three new unique Legendary Pokémon, Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, they are back, but there’s also a more powerful Regi in the mix—Regigigas. Regigigas is one of the most powerful Legendaries present in BDSP. While it is a Normal-type, it has a variety of different powerful moves at its disposal. While these gen-four remakes have kept the Pokémon and its encounter in the game much as they were in the original Diamond and Pearl, some things have changed.

Riot Games opted to shake up the support champion pool in League of Legends in 2019 with the release of Senna, a character with connections to many aspects of League who had long been imprisoned in Thresh’s lantern. With the help of her husband Lucian, Senna made her way out of the lantern and onto the Rift, bringing with her a new playstyle the game had not seen before. As a support marksman with the ability to heal her allies, Senna has rotated between the ADC and support roles and has almost always been a central part of these metas since her release.

Sentinels has acquired VALORANT star Tyson “TenZ” Ngo from Cloud9 in a deal worth around seven figures, according to a report by Kevin Hitt of The Esports Observer. The loan contract signed between C9 and Sentinels back in March included an option for Sentinels to buy out the contract, which the org has now reportedly exercised. This reported buyout comes just days after Sentinels won the VCT Masters Two Reykjavik LAN event.

Offline TV recently relaunched their OTV & Friends Minecraft server, but this time there are some new features to spice things up. Unlike the original OTV & Friends server, the current one is intended to provide a vanilla Minecraft experience with a helping hand from mods to add both cosmetic and progression-based enhancements. The server right now boasts around 40 creators and includes some of Twitch’s most popular personalities. Each week there is a plan to introduce more creators into the mix, however, at this stage, it doesn’t look like there will be any opportunities for fans to get involved.

An old friend once encouraged many to “cross the gaps between worlds, and engage in jolly co-operation.” Multiplayer has been a staple in FromSoftware titles. Co-op gameplay is a great and fun way to interact with the world of the Lands Between. In Elden Ring, players have the option to play with their friends, summon others into their world for help, and even duel other Tarnished using summon signs that appear on the ground.
