Get ready, folks, cause Black Friday is a mere fourteen days away. Just hours after you've successfully (or unsuccessfully) navigated the sea of Turkey Day conversation and avoided all the most dangerous political whirlpools, you'll be thrust directly into the meat grinder also known as Capitalism's Big Day. It's probably best to start preparing now, lest you fall prey to the incessant onslaught of deals.
Halloween has passed and we’re into the days of fall where the weather begins turning a bit cooler. Time to bundle up with some updates to MMOs! In this issue of MMOCO, we have content patches and expansions for The Elder Scrolls Online, Black Desert Online, and Lord of the Rings Online....
Can you think of a better way to spend your Saturday than playing co-op games all day and raising donations to heal sick kids? If not, then ditch whatever you had planned for this Saturday (11/2) and sign up for Extra Life! It's a fun way to do what you love and raise donations for a great cause. All donations to Extra Life go straight to the hospital you choose during registration.
While I’m a big fan in general of HyperX’s gaming headsets, the Cloud MIX is still one of my very favorites. It is by far the most versatile headset I’ve had the opportunity to use, supporting use with a single 3.5mm jack (for mobile devices, certain computers/laptops, and consoles), dual 3.5mm jacks (for computers that support an audio/microphone jack set-up), and Bluetooth connections.
Well, folks, this is the last time you'll hear from the Co-Opticrew before we're in full swing for Halloween. What are we doing to prepare for the oncoming rush of scares and sweets? Well... playing more video games, as it turns out. I'm not certain it'll help things, but at the very least, we'll slip into our diabetic comas with memories of our favorite titles.
Valve has added a new feature to their Steam Client that is a great boon to all us co-op fans out there. Thanks to "Remote Play Together," you can now play couch co-op games with friends online. Best of all, only one person has to actually own the game.
Yours truly is still recovering from a Starbucks-spread illness, so while I'm not asking for sympathy, I would appreciate some tempered expectations for the quality of this week's post. The Co-Opticrew is still enamored with that dadgum haunting going on up at the Moon, but our attention is starting to turn elsewhere.
The month of October is upon it, full of spooky nights, winding corn mazes, and pumpkin spice everything. For this month’s MMOCO column, we’ll be looking at upcoming updates for TERA, FFXIV, and SWTOR....
The Co-Opticrew is heading to the moon this weekend! Rumors abound that it's haunted, so we've decided to lend a hand and see if we can get to the bottom of it. Plus, if any good pulse rifles, gloves, or helmets just happen to be lying around, let's just say we're... happy to take it back to Co-Optimus HQ for further testing.
If you’ve read some of my other peripheral reviews, you might know that I’m a big fan of the HyperX Alloy series of keyboards. The original Alloy FPS (reviewed three years ago in October of 2016) made me believe that mechanical keyboards weren’t all just hype. Since then, I’ve reviewed the Alloy FPS Pro, the Alloy Elite, and...

While I'm pretty sure our last Weekend in Gaming post happened like, yesterday, the Gregorian calendar on my phone says it's already time for another. On one hand, jumping straight from one weekend to the next is a nice feeling, but it definitely feels strange not knowing what I did for all that time. Ah well, I guess there's nothing to do about it but enjoy the weekend and unwrap the three hundred boxes of Shrek 2 DVDs that showed randomly showed up at my doorstep.
