Since our founding in 2006 by JohnT & Artimus we have certainly come a long way.

We (JohnT) hosted late night meetings taking place at 11pm ET just to talk about toilet paper. We experienced the legal process and politics behind the word EDGE.

Artist: Coder Writer: Sydney Editor: Artimus Loot boxes are an essential part of the games we love. We buy them in hopes for a snazzy new skin for our character and weapons, for in game currency, or for extra add-ons such as sprays and voicelines.

Recently, the Minister of Justice of Belgium had an investigation done on how exactly close purchasing and in-game loot box is to gambling. They had come to the conclusion that games such as Overwatch, Counter Strike: Global...
