xQc reveals the truth behind the cheat folder on his PC

xQc has opened up about the cheats folder stored in his PC, which according to him is not what the name suggests, rather far from it.

A folder named cheats has greater implications for someone like xQc’s who plays competitive games all time. It is natural for the audience to quickly pick up something like that when it is broadcasted on a live stream with thousands watching. Given the popularity of his channel, it would have been a disappointing outcome if those were real cheats stored in the folder.

“Whenever you download a game like Pokemon and you have a randomizer, and your randomizer, there’s something called ‘cheats,’ and those cheats are like to make the game different,” “If you’re doing a certain run, you have to use a cheats folder. It’s called cheats because you’re cheating the game, you’re cheating it. Either to make it harder, or easier.” explained xQc

The statement relived a lot of his loyal fans who couldn’t imagine xQc as a cheater. His reason behind having it was more than justified. Such names for Pokemon cheats are normal and they are nothing illegal. Not just Pokemon, cheats were a common term back in the day for GTA games which continue till date.

Given how strict the Twitch audience is, xQc wasn’t let off the hook across social media until he came up with this explanation. An entertainer of his stature could have had their career ruined as cheats strictly violate the Twitch community guidelines, let alone getting slandered by their own fans.

How Animal Crossing Sparked A Love Story Between Two Soulmates

Nintendo’s social sim title ‘Animal Crossing’ is undoubtedly renowned for its unique and fun gameplay experience. However, its abilities as a matchmaker are also not to be underestimated from now on either.

According to a recent Fox 13 report, a couple who found each other through Animal Crossing has gotten engaged after several months of dating.

In the early stages of the lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Utah resident Steven Brown bought himself a Nintendo Switch and began to play Animal Crossing to distract himself from the dark times of the pandemic. Little did the single dad of two know that he was about to find the love of his life through a video game.

Animal Crossing features an in-game currency called ‘bells’. Brown, after managing to stock up a good number of bells, decided to give some away through Facebook. That is how he finally met Shayla Johnson, who commented on his post and caught his attention.

After Brown gave Johnson the bells, she invited him to visit her virtually in her own ‘island’. For the unaware, players can create their own islands in Animal Crossing and customize them at will.

The two played for four hours, and slowly started to bond over common interests. The friendship soon turned into something more, as Brown decided to visit Johnson in Indiana this August. He described their first meeting as “magical”.

A few months later, Brown secretly bought a ring and proposed to Johnson, asking her to marry him. Johnson accepted, and the couple got engaged.

The two have already started planning their wedding, with Johnson expecting to move in with Brown in January 2021.

Videogamedunkey “apologizes” to Dream for believing in speedrun cheating allegations

The Minecraft speedrun saga doesn’t seem to be ending anytime soon. This time another Youtuber Jason Yevgeniy Gastrow, also known as Videogamedunkey has come out and apologized to Dream for believing the initial accusations of Youtuber cheating his World record setting Minecraft Speedrun. 

Initially, GeoSquare, a moderator at speedrun records had posted a video titled “Did Dream Fake His Speedruns – Official Moderator Analysis” where different moderators claimed that Dream’s 1.16 speedrun record had been achieved by cheating and called out Dream for using underhand methods to gain fame. 

Soon after the video about cheating accusations went viral, Videogamedunkey also posted a video where he covered the drama. His video easily racked up more views than GeoSquare’s allegation video. Dunkey’ s video simply added fuel to the fire and spread the drama even further. 

Afterward, Dream posted an in-depth rebuttal video on 24th Dec where goes into detail about how his speedrun “luck” was possible. He even hired a Ph.D. astrophysicist statistical expert to back up his analysis and concluded his video saying ⸺ “ I don’t care at all about my speedrun, I care more about defending my character than defending a dumb leaderboard position.” 

Dream video quickly started trending on Youtube and within a day gained more views than GeoSquare’s video. Many were convinced that cheating accusations were false and moderators were at fault for not fact-checking properly. 

After seeing Dream’s rebuttal video, Dunkey today came out with an apology to Dream for ‘jumping on the bandwagon.’ and said “Somehow I just got sucked into the hype, and the drama and I got on the ‘Dream cheated’ bandwagon,” he explained. “It wasn’t just me who fell for the trap, all of you thought he cheated, don’t lie.”

Further continuing with his apology, he said:

“I think Dream’s video made a lot of great points, and it really disproved all the haters out there. Again, I just want to apologize to Dream for jumping the gun on this. It’s really not like the internet to hop on a moronic bandwagon, with absolutely no credible information to back their claims.”

The Speedrun drama doesn’t look like ending anytime soon. The moderators haven’t responded to Dream’s rebuttal video, neither has anyone apologized. So the supposed cheating drama might easily drag on until early 2021.

JW Tops The List For Most Knife Kills In 2020 From Top 30 Teams

As many avid CSGO fans would have already anticipated, Fnatic star JW holds the #1 spot in the list of most knife kills this year from the top 30 teams in the pro scene.

With a total of 34 knife kills in CSGO 2020, JW is followed by his teammate Robin “flusha” Rönnquist who boasts 18 knife kills. The third place in the podium is occupied by team BIG’s Florian “syrsoN” Rische and Heroic’s Martin “stavn” Lund with 11 kills.

Notably enough, only 6 players among the top 30 CS teams have a knife kill count of 10 or above. Na’Vi legend Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev, who is widely regarded to be the greatest CSGO player of all time, has 10 knife kills.

While knifing is often done to humiliate opponents, in the highest levels of competitive plays pros generally tend to knife for the extra cash. Knifing gives a kill bonus of $1,500, which is greater than any other gun in the game.

CSGO Servers are Down Today [Dec 27]

On December 27th, CSGO players across the Globe reported outages of the game servers. It’s still unclear what caused the outage, but it could be due to a number of reasons.

The first and common cause of server outages is a new update. When a new update is shipped to the game, the servers can go down for a short while. However, in case of an update, the servers can be up quite quickly.

Another reason behind server outages may be a technical fault in Valve’s servers. This is very unlikely to happen but has happened on more than one occasion in the past.

In case you’re finding yourself unable to launch CSGO or join a game, you can check for yourself if CSGO servers are down.

Forsen Unbanned On Twitch After One Month Suspension, Announces Return Stream

Sebastian ‘Forsen’ Fors is set to make his return on Twitch after he was banned in November over an inappropriate GIF.

Why was Forsen banned?

Forsen’s ban sparked a bit of controversy as he was unaware of the content while broadcasting it on stream which makes it a total unintentional violation of the community guidelines. For a mistake this unintentional, he was handed a harsh ban however it was lifted right after Christmas. They are many instances where streamers have accidentally shown inappropriate content but Twitch let them pass.

The community outrage against the Forsen ban went in vain as he had to serve the monthlong ban regardless, only to get his ban lifted on the boxing day. Twitch has moved on from Among Us and Fall Guys during this period with Cyberpunk gaining traction which will most likely be what he plays upon return.
