Your distinction is a little bit flawed. I'll try to break it down. Kinder Egg - Poor-quality plastic toys usually run in sets; once a set runs it course it's often impossible to obtain the toys fro...

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I have Nintendo Online purely because of the Twitch Prime rewards, but to be honest... I haven't played online once yet. The Switch doesn't really have any multiplayer game...

Post: RE: Controllers, Keyboards, Mice, etc.

As far as mice go (as a fairly casual PC gamer; mostly old-school FPS like Quake and UT and some League of Legends on the side) I never found a better mouse for me than the Sidewinder X3. It wasn't lo...

While this is a step in the right direction for sure, I'm not really sure how useful knowing the drop rates will be. Most mobile games already display drop rates, but that doesn't stop people blowing ...
