The eSports scene is growing at an exponential rate, and there’s a lot of space for gamers to make a name for themselves in the industry.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Exploring the current state of play, Plarium sat down with an influencer who certainly has an interesting perspective on the world of gaming. In their interview, we managed to get some key insight into modern competitive gaming. </p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For us, there was no better personality to interview than Professor Akali, a former competitive gamer-turned-YouTube star. These days, he posts regular League of Legends content on his channels. </p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Without further ado, let's find out Professor Akali’s thoughts on the competitive gaming scene, where LoL is heading and much more, in an exclusive interview. </p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Who is Professor Akali?</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Akali’s real name is Kevin Payaam Maroufkhani. He is a former challenger, professional League of Legends player, and gaming coach. Since 2016, Professor Akali has been running his own popular YouTube channel, which features League of Legends guides and LoL entertainment videos.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The influencer’s channel, aptly named \"Professor Akali,\" boasts over 758,000 subscribers and over 900 videos. It’s simply a huge channel for any League of Legends fan, with plenty of helpful and entertaining streams.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Akali’s first video, \"Winning A Diamond Ranked Game In Two Plays Ft. Best Akali KR,\" went live on YouTube all the way back on August 21, 2016. Growing immensely in popularity in the years since, the videos he creates now get hundreds of thousands of views.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">His most popular creation to date is \"Professor Akali vs. 5 Bronze Players (1v5) – League of Legends,\" which has over 2.2 million views. Along with his most popular video to date, Professor Akali has nine other streams that have eclipsed one million views. He has certainly earned a mighty audience of gamers within the League of Legends community, if not with eSports fans at large.</p>\n<iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/sIIFhmA_lko\" width=\"560\"></iframe>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Which Champion Does Professor Akali Use?</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Akali predominantly uses the rogue assassin Akali as his champion when playing League of Legends. As his name would suggest, the player has an affinity for the moderately difficult assassin champion.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But why does Professor Akali use Akali in LoL? When asked why he’s so attached to the character, Professor Akali responded, \"She is by far the most fun character in the game to play.” Akali is a strong player in the game, which is likely why <a href=\"https://dotesports.com/league-of-legends/news/riot-previews-league-patch-10-3-changes-to-akali-yuumi-senna-and-aphelios\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">she was nerfed in the most recent 10.3 patch</a>, but the Professor's reply reminds us how it’s important to use fun champions as well as strong champions.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One of the reasons why Professor Akali has been able to reach the heights of pro gaming is precisely because he enjoys using Akali. This has, in turn, made it much easier for him to put in the hours it takes to become a great player and streamer.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We also asked what makes him so much better at using Akali than his fellow influencers. He teasingly responded that he is just better at the game than his counterparts. Of course, the point was also made that he also plays as Akali thousands of times a year.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As anyone who has played League of Legends will know, there is a distinct difference between experienced players and noobs. In games like LoL and DOTA 2, there's a grand learning curve and many aspects to become familiar with if you hope to be a competitive player.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Outsiders often perceive professional gaming as a hobby of little effort. This is because gaming is, for most people, a leisurely and entertaining activity. Getting to the penthouse of pro gaming, though, takes thousands of hours of practice and strategizing. Professor Akali shows this as he explains how dedicated he is to just one champion on League of Legend.</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">What's His Take on PC vs Console Gaming?</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Gaming on PC offers the player more controls and functions, which increases the skill that can be used in-game, says the pro. Professor Akali explains that the options on console controllers are too narrow to compete competitively, and we know quite a lot of his peers who would agree.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img alt=\"Professor Akali\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/company/Blog/Articles/2020/february/influencers/2.jpg\" style=\"width: 1024px; height: 720px;\" /></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">According to the former League of Legends pro, console controllers are simply too small and limited for competition. He told us that a small controller of around 14 buttons doesn't give players enough of a range of controls as compared to the keyboard. Professor Alkali aptly finished his point by saying, \"if you think that you can play competitively with an Xbox controller, you’re delusional.\"</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It’s easy to see why this is the case just by looking at the new games coming onto the scene. New titles aspire to the gameplay and skill levels in the likes of DOTA 2 and League of Legends. Developers want to replicate the immense depth and skill required to play their games to become respected competitive PC titles. This can be seen in the design and depth of PvP Arena battle title <a href=\"/en/plarium-play/\">Raid: Shadow Legends on PC</a>. With over 300 champions, epic boss battles, and over one million builds, Raid offers the depth desired by gamers. Due to the nature of the intense PvP arena, players are also required to learn the game and develop the skill to rise up the ranks - as it goes with almost every successful game worth the trouble.</p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">What is the Worst Part of Solo Queue?</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Akali believes that the worst part of a solo queue game is players who talk, chat, or moan too much. Simply put, players who are concentrated on winning don’t tend to do much typing. So, in LoL, you can tell who is going to be annoying in the game by their volume of chatter.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Akali stated that people who vent are the most annoying: “More specifically, the jungler always frigging cries.” In his experience in the professional ranks and to this day, he says that basically every high-level jungler cries in the game.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">What's more, Alkali says that there’s one situation that always gets the jungler moaning: When the game is around two minutes in, and the mid-laner doesn’t have pressure, he can’t roam to help the jungler. But the jungler wants help because they suck and get invaded. </p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Clearly, Professor Akali doesn't have much time for junglers who can't do their jobs and moan for help when things aren't going their way. In competitive LoL, the best way for a team to rise to the top is for everyone to be pulling their weight well in their own space. In the early game, the mid-laner can't give up their post to help the jungler, so there's no point crying for help.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you happen to play jungler and are still reading at this point, the advice the pro has for you is that if you don’t want to get under the skin of your teammates, you’d best avoid crying in the chat and instead work on not getting invaded early on. </p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">What Does Professor Akali Think of Competitive Mobile Gaming?</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Interestingly, Professor Akali sees a strong future for competitive mobile gaming. His view is primarily based on the fact that mobile devices are getting stronger, and mobile games are developing rapidly.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It may not be up to the standards of PC gaming, but we can all admit that we've sunk a fair bit of time in a free mobile game. Most of us have also spent a bit of money on some microtransactions too. Mobile gaming is simply too diverse, easy, and convenient for it not to appeal to everyone - let alone to gamers. </p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Mobile gaming can still best be described as a guilty pleasure by most. The platform has a bit of stigma due to the games seemingly being inferior to console and PC games. Professor Akali used to be of the thinking that mobile games aren't good enough to be competitive. However, he’s since come around on the idea, despite the obvious difference in controls here too.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When asked if he sees a future for competitive games on mobile, he said:</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">“I used to not think so, but considering how mobile games are evolving so rapidly – in terms of how smoothly they run and all these things – and computers are not [evolving].  Mobile devices are getting stupidly strong, to the point where they’re like a computer from a year or two ago. I would say there’s definitely a very strong chance [that there’s a future for competitive mobile games], and, on top of that, the last fact is: So many people like mobile games.”</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">That's a fair point if we've ever seen one. As pretty much all of us have mobiles in our pockets and mobile games are so easily accessed, it shouldn't be surprising that mobile games are so popular. The mobile scene has become much more competitive and now there are loads of high-quality games available. </p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Now, mobile gaming is at a place where it wants to expand alongside the growing eSports industry. Of course, mobiles aren’t quite ready for sprawling MOBAs – mostly due to the limited controls available. But well-balanced and highly-competitive games are still making it to mobile devices.<a href=\"/en/game/raid-shadow-legends/\"> A prime example of this is Raid</a>, which has delivered top-class competitive mobile gaming by adapting the PC version to be compatible with the small screen. It has the depth and customization options that competitive players seek, but with mobile-optimized controls.</p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Why Is Online Gaming Better Than Classic Card Games like Poker?</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Akali has dabbled in the poker scene in the past but says that he doesn’t like the game anymore. </p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Speaking on his experiences on the poker scene at a competitive level, Professor Akali claims that it went well - until it didn't. He enjoyed the game until he lost, which he says ended up being a net loss. In fact, the League of Legends star says he still wouldn't be recommending the game to anyone else. He says that poker is a boring and slow game - as you would expect from someone whose game time is predominantly spent in the action-packed maps of League of Legends.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We thank Professor Akali for taking the time to talk with us and giving us a look into the exciting world of competitive gaming.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Akali continues to put up several League of Legends videos each month, which<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDIJhfKjVYlbo5-oQvM5EqQ/featured\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"> you can check out on his channel over on YouTube</a>.  </p>\n","date":"2/11/2020"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2020/posts/week_7/influencers/02.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13336"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/bunny-fufuu-interview/"},"strings":{"title":"Pro Gamer-turned-Streamer Bunny FuFuu, Gaming & eSports","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"480000","description":"<p dir=\"ltr\">It's an exciting time to be involved in the competitive gaming scene of eSports. To get a first-hand look at the industry from an insider's perspective, Plarium sat down with League of Legends star Bunny FuFuu. A former professional gamer-turned-streamer, Bunny FuFuu gave us the low-down.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Here, we venture into Bunny FuFuu’s experiences as a pro and a streamer. The incredibly popular YouTube star also gives us some insight on the industry moving forward.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Who is Bunny FuFuu?</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bunny FuFuu’s real name is Michael Kurylo. He’s currently a full-time streamer for the Cloud9 eSport team, focussing on creating League of Legends content. His career began in 2014 as a member of Team Curse, which would become Gravity.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Having impressed with his performances as the champion Thresh, Bunny FuFuu moved onto Cloud 9 in 2016. He featured as a team member before transitioning into full-time streaming for the team.</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Bunny FuFuu's Videos and YouTube</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As of early 2019, Bunny FuFuu boasts over 1.66 million subscribers. The first video on his platform came on 9 January 2016, with Cloud9 welcoming him to the team in the video “Introducing Bunny FuFuu.”</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Since then, the YouTube channel has continued to grow, adding exciting and interesting content. As it stands, the “Bunny FuFuu” channel has posted over 1100 videos of mostly LoL content.</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Gaming, YouTube & Bunny FuFuu</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Many of the videos are focused on League of Legends gameplay, but there’s also space for some off-the-cuff antics. Bunny FuFuu likes to blend the gaming with other stunts to keep it fresh. Videos like “*1 Death = 1 Clothes* The Hottest League Video On YouTube” and “Mystery Grill Makes Me Dinner | 99% Hook Accuracy Thresh” have eclipsed one million and two million views, respectively.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Of Bunny FuFuu’s huge stock of content, over 40 videos have breached one million views. Just surpassing “Mystery Grill Makes Me Dinner” is “60% CDR Mushrooms | Across The Map Quadrakill |1,000 AP Teemo,” which stands as his most popular video at over 2.2 million views.</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Favorite Champion</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">On the gaming side, Bunny FuFuu’s champion of choice is Thresh. He rose to eSports fame through his play as the chain warden and continues to play as the champion.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, his channel doesn’t focus on Thresh gameplay. Bunny FuFuu delves into everything League of Legends, from new patches, like <a href=\"https://dotesports.com/league-of-legends/news/league-of-legends-patch-10-2-notes-updates\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">the VFX updates to Thresh in 10.1 and 10.2</a> and the Akali nerfing, to new skins and game guides.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/zRywJ6-XkCE\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">What is life like as a professional gamer?</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To reach the pinnacle of the competitive gaming scene and make it onto a team, you can bet that you’ll need to do more than just play a game for a few hours each night. As you’ll see across traditional sports, players sink thousands of hours into perfecting their gameplay with the hope that they’ll make it onto a team.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Training is long and rigorous in eSports, to the extent that such commitment may even ruin the experience for the entertainment-seeking casual gamer. While Bunny FuFuu always speaks fondly of his time as a pro gamer, he does detail a rigorous schedule.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bunny FuFuu says that he used to have to wake up at 9 am to do scrooges, with there being a set schedule in place for practices. On an eSports team, gamers must practice the game in very specific ways to establish strategy and chemistry when it comes to a competitive match. Bunny FuFuu even admits,<cite> “Some days, I would play when I don’t necessarily want to.”</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">There are millions, if not billions, of gamers all over the world, with many of them thinking that they’re good enough to turn professional. As gaming is so accessible now, with the likes of LoL and DOTA 2 being <a href=\"/en/games/category/free-to-play-games/\">free-to-play</a>, there’s a great deal of competition for top-class players to overcome. So, the long days and thousands of hours put into the game are necessary for a player to rise to the top.</p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Why is PC the best form of gaming?</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Console gaming and <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mobile-games/\">mobile gaming</a> is more popular among mainstream gamers, but <a href=\"/en/games/platform/pc-games/\">PC</a> is always hailed as king. Controls and hardware performance are limited on non-PC platforms. On PC, though, you can continually upgrade top-line hardware and make use of the array of controls available through using a keyboard and mouse.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It is because of this that PC-based games have become the focus of the <a href=\"/en/blog/esports/\">eSports industry</a>. The platform is home to the most competitive games because the controller set and hardware allow for the highest level of skill to be reached, according to Bunny FuFuu.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The former pro gamer says that gaming on a PC unlocks the maximum amount of skill that you can get out of a game. It allows for the highest skill count and the highest tier of the skill academy that you can get to as a player.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you’ve ever gone from playing a game like Fortnite on an Xbox One X – said to be the world’s most powerful console – to playing it on a high-end PC, you’ll know exactly what Bunny FuFuu means by it allowing for a greater application of skill.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Bunny FuFuu, aka Michael Kurylo\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/company/Blog/Articles/2020/february/influencers/3.jpg\" style=\"width: 1024px; height: 720px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Will competitive mobile gaming ever make it big on the eSports scene?</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Where PC gaming offers the greatest ceiling in terms of skill that can be deployed, mobile gaming is certainly the most popular and accessible form of gaming. As eSports runs on viewership numbers and subsequent advertising, it makes sense that mobile gaming could be targeted as a big feature in the industry.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bunny FuFuu sees it more of being a case of which mobile games eSports figureheads try to promote within the industry. Due to the highest potential skill level that other platforms offer for genres like shooters, a competitive scene for a mobile shooter simply wouldn’t make the cut. Competitive gaming is all about the best of the best battling for supremacy, which can’t be done on a device that is limited to touch-screen controls.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, the pro-turned-streamer does note that there is space for strategy games. This is because the touchscreen input can be enough for the right game for it to allow for the highest possible amount of skill in the genre.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Another issue for Bunny FuFuu with mobile gaming becoming competitive is that “mobile games are meant for just passing time, having fun, or [for people who want] to play with their friends.” Some games do bring highly-skilled, competitive gameplay to mobile players, <a href=\"/en/game/raid-shadow-legends/\">as is the case with Raid: Shadow Legends</a>. Shadow Legends, of course, retains its desktop offering for anyone who feels the same as FuFuu.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Speaking on the current competitive mobile scene, the streamer says that the hardware isn’t where it needs to be just yet. Due to mobile units lacking, the skill cap of what can be achieved has ended up being skewed near the top. Bunny FuFuu states that his results in a good player being able to beat a great player. This needs to be avoided if the highest level of competition is to be created.</p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">What does the future hold for League of Legends and Bunny FuFuu?</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">League of Legends is one of the biggest games in the world right now and is one of the pillars of the eSports industry. However, it can’t last forever.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In the years to come, as more high-quality games push to break into the PC gaming and competitive gaming scene, time will gradually move from LoL. Titles like the PvP-oriented Raid: Shadow Legends on PC are actively looking to become a part of the scene, so will streamers like Bunny FuFuu depart from League of Legends?</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bunny FuFuu has dabbled in Fortnite – as has pretty much everyone by this point – and Teamfight Tactics. But the Cloud9 streamer doesn’t see his whole future as being tied to YouTube. He says that he’s been trying his hand in the world of real-estate, using YouTube to watch other estate agents to find out more.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, Bunny FuFuu doesn’t see such a leap into another profession as coming anytime too soon. The popular content creator simply says: “Right now, I just want to play League, Minecraft, every game, all day.\"</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As gamers, we all know this might just be the best time to be playing games. There’s so much quality in the software across the board. Hardware continues to improve and take us to better experiences. Then there’s also this incredibly exciting new way to enjoy gaming as a spectator, steamer, content creator, or even a professional player.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">With Bunny FuFuu orchestrating a wildly popular YouTube channel that’s dedicated to a superb game, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that he’ll keep at it for a while yet.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We thank Bunny FuFuu for taking the time to talk with Plarium and giving us a look into the exciting world of competitive gaming.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bunny FuFuu continues to put up daily League of Legends videos, so <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv7PqO2lW3eK16sQngYPwsA/featured\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">be sure to check out his channel over on YouTube</a>.</p>\n","date":"2/11/2020"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2020/posts/week_7/influencers/03.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13335"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/youtuber-mmg-of-the-channel-mmg/"},"strings":{"title":"From Food Freebies to Relationship Woes: MMG on the Perks and Perils of YouTube Fame","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"420000","description":"<p dir=\"ltr\">So many of us can’t help but imagine what it would be like to be rich and famous. After all, being able to go to the hottest parties, drive the fastest cars, and live a life of luxury would just be too good to be true.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, for YouTube star and Raid: Shadow Legends fan MMG, the first signs of his growing fame emerged in a rather different manner. Taking part in a Q and A at <a href=\"https://company.plarium.com/en/studio/ukraine-kharkiv/\">Plarium’s Kharkiv studio</a>, he smiles when he is described as being at \"free Chick-fil-A sauce level fame now\".</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\"Somebody must’ve seen my tweet where I did get a couple, two little free packets of Chick-fil-A sauce from a guy who recognized me,\" he explains. However, while he admits getting some praise and adulation is pretty good, there are other perks to his rising profile too.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He said: \"On the flight here actually I saw a fan who was headed back to Saudi Arabia, so that’s probably the best part of it. If you ever get down on yourself like in this world and you don’t feel like making content, if you just step outside for a little bit, meet somebody you know, then it’s pretty incredible.\"</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Building a major presence</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">MMG, or Madden Mobile Gods, is the Youtube name Matt Meagher chose. Pretty incredible is a fairly accurate way to describe Matt’s rise across the past few years, with <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaYxyR9mzVlTrOOyZD0XAmA\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">his YouTube channel</a> boasting more than 1.4 million subscribers at the time of writing.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/J-yxanMtrwE\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">His journey with the platform actually started back when he was 14, playing a game called Matt and Mobile; which was essentially Madden for smartphones. The title featured a virtual currency and, during his freshman year at high school, MMG had so much of it that he started selling it to friends.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\"I got so good at selling that virtual currency that I made an Instagram account called Madden Mobile Gods, which is where MMG comes from, Madden Mobile Gods. Not a lot of people know that\", he explained.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\"If you make a YouTube video about making the virtual currency, you could sell a lot more of it. So my first ever YouTube video was a guide on how to make the virtual currency just so I could sell more of the virtual currency for, like, iTunes gift cards. But then all of a sudden that video did really well for no reason and the rest is pretty much history.\"</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Getting the balance right</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A particularly intriguing part of MMG’s life is how he is running such a successful YouTube channel, even though he is currently still at school. This, of course, leads to the inevitable question – how does he cope and ensure he is devoting enough attention to both? One thing that helps is, undoubtedly, that his passion for making content remains as strong as ever.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He outlines: \"Making videos and entertaining people is something that I enjoy doing, so it’s not so hard to manage it because I kind of want to do it anyway.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\"I will admit though, I don’t go to school that often, I think school takes a little bit of a hit, but I still did pretty well in school, but I think I could be doing better if I wasn’t doing YouTube. I still have YouTube up on that priority list, but don’t tell anyone that one though, and don’t tell my mom that one specifically!\"</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">MMG adds that recognition is also becoming more and more common around school, with his senior status having an impact in that regard.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He explains: \"I do get recognized at school, especially now that I’m a senior because a lot of my audience is about three or four years younger than me.\"</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"YouTuber and Gamer MMG of the channel MMG\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/company/Blog/Articles/2020/february/influencers/5.jpg\" style=\"width: 1024px; height: 720px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Living in the spotlight</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">During our interview, MMG revealed some of the things that are not so easy when you hit the big time on YouTube. One issue we had to ask about was how it feels to be so open about your personal life, and he admitted that it has not always been straightforward.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He revealed how the all-encompassing nature of working and posting content on YouTube means he does not get to spend time with friends as much as he would like, and also added how it was tough when he broke up with his first girlfriend, Bella, who had featured in his videos for around 18 months. Looking back, he is fairly candid about the fact it was hard.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He said: \"It was so not fun because my whole comment section was making fun of me, and I was actually kind of upset about it. I was like, ‘Guys, stop please, stop’, but they didn’t obviously. And after about three months when I was comfortable talking about the relationship and stuff like that, then it became really funny.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\"I actually feel bad for my ex-girlfriend. We still talk, but one of the running jokes on my channel is just mentioning Bella. In fact, when I came on this trip and I told everyone I was going to Ukraine, they said, ‘Oh Bella’s in Ukraine, that’s cool’.\"</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Major high points</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, while there have been harder times, there have certainly been many high points that MMG has got to enjoy across recent years.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He revealed how probably the coolest thing to have happened so far was being invited by the Dallas Cowboys to watch a game in a suite before going out onto the field afterwards. Dreams came true that day, with MMG outlining: \"It was just so incredible because, when I was a kid, you would go to these games, and you so badly wanted to go out on the field and meet the players, and it was something that I was invited to do.\"</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, his interest in sports goes beyond just NFL, and while he loves WWE – his stage name would be Pappa Meegs, fact fans - he has also had some great opportunities in the world of basketball too. Asked how well he thinks he would do in the women’s NBA, he revealed how he once played one-v-one against a female division-one collegiate basketball player from Central Michigan. The result? He explained: \"I lost. It was 8 to 11, okay, so I bet you if I got 15 minutes in the woman’s NBA, I could score 4 points.\"</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Discussing the men’s game, MMG admits he would be \"terrified\" of playing but revealed he holds a proud record on NBA courts.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He explained: \"One time I was at Detroit Pistons Stadium and they let a fan shoot a 3-point shot. I got to shoot it, and I was in 8th grade, this was totally random, and I one hundred percent made it. So, as for all the shots that I’ve made on an NBA court, I’m one-for-one, one hundred percent. That’s all I’m gonna say. I’m not bragging – but I might be bragging.\"</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Love what you do</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Moving the topic of conversation on from sports to video games, we know that MMG is a big fan of <a href=\"/en/game/raid-shadow-legends/\">Raid: Shadow Legends</a>, but we wondered which other titles he regards as absolutely essential? Faced with the conundrum of picking just two games to take onto a desert island, he opted for Elder Scrolls Oblivion and Skyrim – and even revealed he has probably logged more hours on them than on Madden.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But while his love for Elder Scrolls runs deep, does MMG ultimately feel the same about YouTube and, more importantly, does he see it as a career? While he admits that he never has, he accepts that his thinking has changed as time has gone by.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He said: \"This is so sad to say, but I just figured it would kind of fizzle, you know. Like, it was super fun to play video games online and, as I got into college, I figured one of these years it just won’t be worth my time. I guess…I’m going to keep doing this until I no longer love doing it.\"</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Finally, does MMG have any advice for younger fans who want to replicate this success and reach the free Chick-fil-A sauce level of fame or beyond?</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\"My number one piece of advice is you should only be doing something like this if it’s something you’re passionate about,\" he outlines.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\"Find something you love and consistently upload quality content that you are proud of, and if it doesn’t do well, it doesn’t do well, but you love what you are doing anyway, so it’s cool by you.\"</p>\n","date":"2/5/2020"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2020/posts/week_7/influencers/01.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13334"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/youtube-star-d-of-the-gaming-channel-node/"},"strings":{"title":"From Gamer to Action Hero: YouTube Star D on ‘Living Every 15-Year-Old Kid’s Dream’","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"420000","description":"<p dir=\"ltr\">For many of us, the idea of talking about our most exciting day at work would probably not be something to look forward to.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">After all, you would probably end up speaking at length about that time you over-ate during a bake sale, or even that ill-fated moment when someone tried to pull a birthday prank on the boss.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For YouTube star D, who's real name is Daniel Kim of <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCI4Wh0EQPjGx2jJLjmTsFBQ\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">the gaming channel Node</a>, the question is also a tough one – but simply because he has experienced too many crazy days to count in recent years.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Sitting in <a href=\"https://company.plarium.com/en/studio/ukraine-kharkiv/\">our Kharkiv studio in the Ukraine</a>, the world-famous influencer, and one of the key minds behind the renowned Node channel, contemplated the question for a moment before opting for the time his team chose to recreate the horror movie classic Friday 13th in real-life.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\"So, we rented this cabin, and we had someone dressed as Jason, and we had all these kind of things you had to find to escape the house\", he explained. \"It was really intense and really, really fun – and actually very terrifying.\"</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/WPiTPmzrs-I?start=68\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Top content creation</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Such experiences have become part and parcel of D’s life during his work with Node, which, at the time of writing, has more than three million subscribers across the globe. The YouTuber – whose real name is, in fact, Daniel Kim – has played a key role in bringing some of the channel’s most famous content to life, drawing on his own experience with the platform which stretches back almost a decade.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He recalled how his first year of working on YouTube was for a \"random start-up company\", but he quickly realized that the space could offer him an opportunity to effectively combine his deep and long-standing love of video gaming with his time learning all about film-making at school.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Comparing the idea of making films to his experiences of working on YouTube, he outlined: \"Making films is really expensive. It takes a lot of time with a production crew, actors, a script, all of that for it to mean anything and ever get finished. Like, sometimes we’ll film a project, and it will never get done, and all that work you put into it never sees the light of day.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\"But YouTube, if you have an idea and you can execute it, then you can just start small and work your way up, and as long as you keep doing it, your videos get better and better.\"</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">A dream come true</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Being a huge video gaming fan, working on Node has essentially been a dream come true for D. As well as bringing movie scenarios to life, the channel is of course equally well-known for adapting different gaming experiences for the real world too.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Probably one of the most notable examples of its work was the PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Airsoft video released back in August 2018, which saw the team go to great lengths to painstakingly recreate the excitement of the playing the game in a real-life setting. Talking about the experience, D outlined how much work and effort went into the video's production, but also readily admitted: \"We get to live out every 15-year-old kid’s dream!\"</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He explained that the starting point of the project was to get all the weaponry, costumes, and personnel together, with that period of pre-production taking somewhere in the region of two weeks. Following that, it was a case of finding and securing a location, before then getting down to the actual filming. While the latter took around four hours, D recalled how the day of shooting was both fun and also incredibly tiring.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\"In the game, you can sprint infinitely, but in real life, you can’t, so you’re exhausted by the end of the first game\", he revealed. \"Then editing takes a lot of time, so that video probably took about five days of editing to do because we did muscle flashes, we did v-effects, we did a ton of stuff for it. All-in-all it probably took about three weeks total time to produce, shoot, and edit, but it was totally worth it because it was fun\".</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img alt=\"YouTube star D of the gaming channel Node\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/company/Blog/Articles/2020/february/influencers/4.jpg\" style=\"width: 1024px; height: 720px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">The creative process</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But just how do D and the Node team come up with, and then develop, the idea of creating such an impressive video like the PUBG Airsoft game, or even the terrifying Friday 13th experience?</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Discussing the team’s creative process, he outlined how they tend to draw inspiration from YouTube comments they receive, and also from simply seeing movies that they would love to have a go at making themselves. He added that there are a couple of fundamental questions that drive how they go about their work – what can we do that we haven’t done before and that no one else has done before?</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Speaking about the current inspirations that he keeps turning to in his videos, D admits that he has recently been really focussed on action movies, and added that said focus allows him to indulge one of his life-long dreams.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He said: \"I kind of feel blessed to have a job where I can do that. I’ve always wanted to try to dodge bullets in real life, so let’s spend two days trying to do that.\"</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">A day in the life</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Of course, not every day can involve strapping on airsoft equipment and living the life of a fully-fledged action hero, so what does a usual day in the life of a YouTube superstar look like? After a quick chat with D, it is clear to see how much effort and application he puts into both his work with Node and developing his personal profile.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The day begins at 9am, he tells us, and breakfast is skipped entirely so his eight-and-a-half hour working day can begin. That could include anything from shooting and editing to brainstorming, while that is then followed by a further four hours of working on his personal channel.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He revealed: \"I work pretty much two full-time jobs and then try to find time to hang-out with my girlfriend somewhere in there. Then on the weekends, I go out and party as hard as I can because I work so much during the week.\"</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">His gaming favorites</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">With such a hectic schedule, you would be forgiven for thinking that D probably doesn’t have a huge amount of time to sit back and relax with gaming. However, he always makes sure he has an opportunity to play a few titles and even revealed some of his current favorites to us in our chat.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He is quick to stress that <a href=\"/en/game/raid-shadow-legends/\">Raid: Shadow Legends</a> is a game he undoubtedly has plenty of time for, while he also loves Apex Legends and the brutal medieval combat of Mordhau too. Our conversation then took us on to the issue of FPS games and whether they have a future on mobile. While he said PUBG Mobile was \"pretty good\", he felt mobile FPS games tended to be a \"step down\" in terms of controls when compared to console titles. However, he did go on to suggest that it was very possible things may improve in the coming years.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He added: \"Maybe, although if you are playing first-person shooters, like, you shouldn’t be doing it on mobile. You should be playing Raid: Shadow Legends instead because that’s a better use of your time. I can tell you that.\"</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Words of wisdom</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Before we wrapped up our interview with D, we knew there was one more question we simply had to ask prior to him leaving the studio – with so many people looking to get involved in YouTube and content creation these days, does he have any words of wisdom for some of his younger fans?</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One step he definitely recommends is to take the time to study film-making. D developed his interest in the area from an early age and was learning about it from middle school. He told us that the classes he took helped to ensure he had an insight into a host of key issues; like how to achieve a quality standard of lighting, how to record good sound, and what, ultimately, looks right on the screen.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He added: \"I definitely recommend just grabbing a camera, and go with your friends and film something, and be really critical of your work.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\"If you watch something you make and it doesn’t impress you or it’s not something that you actually want to watch, then it’s probably not very good. So, always improve and definitely hone your craft.\"</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It is undoubtedly useful advice to consider if you’re someone who is looking to follow D’s extraordinary lead and make your days at work a little more exciting than the norm.</p>\n","date":"2/5/2020"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2020/posts/week_7/influencers/07.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13333"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/video-game-benefits/"},"strings":{"title":"What Are the Benefits of Video Games?","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"240000","description":"<p dir=\"ltr\">As a video game player, you interact with each fictional world, often derived from myths and legends, through avatars created by your tastes and desires. In this post we will discuss how the main benefits of video games include:</p>\n\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n\t<li>Heightened creativity</li>\n\t<li>Improved social skills</li>\n\t<li>Being more pro-active</li>\n\t<li>Helping self-expression</li>\n\t<li>Improved mood</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">You choose to become someone else. A character’s design, also dependent on the archetypes provided by the developer, reflects the player. But what happens when you start comparing your <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPG</a> avatar with yourself?</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Sometimes, this is how gamers become philosophers; you pose interesting questions, asking if we’re all actually Sims, while the line between games and reality becomes thinner. Not only that, but some of the things you admire in your god-like character suddenly seem possible and attractive.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One benefit is that gamers’ good experiences in video games inspire them to upgrade their real lives. Some RPG plots also engage your opinions and morals like any good book. Platforms like <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmorpg-games/\">MMORPGs</a> are perfect social environments to improve communication skills.</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Surprising Benefits of Playing Video Games</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To begin with, some RPGs allow creating your own adventures. You can build a little world, populate it with NPCs and tell a story, like a jaunt through mythical Atlantis but as you imagined it. You become a guide and entertainer for players who visit. If you’re actually a player in the story, you have to make smart, decisive moves based on your character's strengths, weaknesses and other party members.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In <a href=\"/en/games/genre/multiplayer-games/\">multiplayer</a> mode, the party is made up of characters driven by real people like you, so good communication is important. Whether player or storyteller, role-playing promotes introspection and comparison with heroic archetypes. This helps pinpoint <strong>personal </strong>areas you want to improve.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The rewarding experience of RPGs isn't to be underestimated either. Their stories have superior visuals, complex interaction and are full of fantastic mythological influences, such as Celtic, Egyptian, Scandinavian, and Asian - hooks that <strong>engage and expand</strong> gamers’ mental and emotional world. Psychological well-being can then be worked on by making use of this creative stimulation. Check out more benefits of video games in our list below:</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Social Skills</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">What's interesting about online and <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mobile-games/\">mobile gaming</a> is that users made these platforms popular because they allow massive interaction with other people. So, RPG designers stepped up with the best social and competitive video games modern technology can provide.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The psychological and social benefits of these video games aren’t just in the millions of character-building options that they provide, or the gameplay possibilities that can make each gamers’ experience unique - it’s in the ways such elements make you <strong>confident and encourage you to communicate.</strong></p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Taking Action</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Taking on the role and personality of a video game character is exciting. You almost always develop your skills, tactics and appearance from scratch. Every step towards becoming the walking battering ram of your dreams is filled with action and pride. As a result, role-playing adventures can get you hyped and out of that gaming chair. In fact, one very popular benefit of video games is players inspired by their heroes who actively imitate them. Spotting Dragonborns at Viking-themed parties or LARP events never gets old!</p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Self-Expression</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Gamers can channel their interests in fashion, types of magic or mythological figures into personalizing their RPG champions. Do you love Chinese culture, pandas and druids? <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_of_Warcraft\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">You could experience World of Warcraft</a> as a wise but lethal Pandaren shaman. And the creativity put into shaping your character reinforces any positive attitude.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Believe it or not, video games are an art form. Both players and developers express themselves through them. And artistic activities are beyond a doubt one of the best ways to heal a psyche. Having other MMORPG users appreciate your character goes a long way too.</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">A Better Mood can be Atrributed to Video Games</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">So far, we’ve established that some of the benefits of playing video games is the ability to make you more skillful, active, social and creative. But they’re also great for exercising your <strong>mental and physical talents.</strong></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Reduced stress, better reflexes, coordination and surgical precision are all benefits of gaming. It may still be difficult to become a fireball-wielding mage or a demi-god who crushes foes with a wink, but seeing your spirit and physical presence evolve into that of your Spartan or intergalactic warrior is a reward in itself. At the end of the day, reaching that potential is as simple as taking that urge the game gave you and turning it into action.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">What legendary or historical sources developers use to bring an RPG to your screen matters less than how you <em>respond </em>to it. There isn’t much this genre of video game can’t help improve as long as you recognize its benefits and make something of them.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Distribute your time between playing your favorite title and practicing the skills you’ve earned beyond the four walls of your room. Above all, enjoy the emotional boost of discovering just how many like-minded gamers are actually out there!</p>\n","date":"1/12/2020"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_16/cross-platform-1.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13331"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/boost-your-team-building-skills/"},"strings":{"title":"RPG Skills: Can Games Help You Level Up in Life?","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p dir=\"ltr\">Video gaming wasn’t always the mainstream pastime that it is today. Indeed, through the decades, the concept has been targeted with criticism, including the idea that it could ultimately be bad for your health.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, there is an ever-growing school of thought that video gaming can be good for you. As IDTech.com explains, video games offer a range of benefits, including the potential to increase brainpower.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Could it be that certain forms of gaming - namely RPGs - are actually more beneficial than others?</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In this article, you can read on to discover common <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPG</a> skills and how they could help you in everyday life.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, before an RPG skills list is compiled, along with the potential benefits, it is important to look at why these types of <a href=\"/en/games/\">games</a> are great for the brain. </p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Why RPGs and RPG Skills?</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Past concerns around gaming may have developed for the simple fact that it was once an isolated pastime. Gamers often hid away in bedrooms to tackle predominantly single-player experiences.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Nowadays, everything has changed, and much of that can be linked to the vast number of multiplayer games and, in particular, role-playing games RPGs.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The general aim of all RPGs is to assume a role within a world and/or team. You then work alongside others in the game, for example as part of a <a href=\"/en/blog/be-a-clan-leader/\">clan</a>, and carry out tasks.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Thus, you can already start to see how RPG skills develop in unison with others, rather than in isolation. You have to be a skilled player in your own right but also someone that can work as part of a team. </p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">The RPG Skills List</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">RPGs come in many forms, and there is a strong argument to say that this means players have to face a host of new challenges and develop skills along the way.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Some of the common RPG skills you’ll have to master are:</p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Leadership</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While collaboration is vital in cooperative play, there will still be times when you have to show leadership and make important decisions that can affect the whole group.</p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Being a specialist</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In team-based RPGs, gamers often have to take up specific functions – like attack, defense, and supporting roles.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Focusing on these tasks is one of the important RPG skills you have to master. In essence, you have to do your best for the greater good of the team.</p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Multi-tasking</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">On the flip side, there will also be moments when you need to juggle several tasks at once.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Therefore, one of the most important RPG skills you’ll need to master is being able to work individually to your own strengths while also helping with other group-related tasks. </p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Problem Solving RPG Skills</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">At their core, all RPGs are problem-solving games. Learning to think logically and laterally is the key to success. But, as it is with all RPG skills, your thoughts need to include the self and the group.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A solution to a problem may work for you as an individual player but not the group as a whole. Therefore, you have to balance your own needs with the needs of those around you. </p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Can RPG Skills Be Used Outside of Gaming?</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em><strong>Yes!</strong></em> Research seems to suggest that it’s possible to apply the RPG skills we’ve listed to everyday life.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For example, researchers at Missouri S&T surveyed almost 300 online RPG players who enjoyed gaming for eight hours a week, but also worked 38 hours a week.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">They found that those who tended to be successful RPGs, using skills such as problem-solving, multi-tasking, and teamwork, were more successful in the workplace. </p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">RPG Skills & Personality Traits</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The research on RPG skills can also be linked to a well-established concept in psychology known as <strong>the Big Five personality traits</strong>.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Originally proposed by Ernest Tupes and Raymond Christal but refined over the years, the following traits are used to, broadly, define human personality.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In turn, they’re used by human resources departments to assess the suitability of people for specific jobs:</p>\n\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n\t<li>Conscientiousness – People with a high degree of conscientiousness are reliable, prompt, and methodical. </li>\n\t<li>Agreeableness - People with a high degree of agreeableness are sympathetic, friendly, and cooperative. </li>\n\t<li>Openness - People with a high degree of openness are more willing to learn new skills and have a variety of interests/skills.</li>\n\t<li>Neuroticism - People with a high degree of neuroticism can be tense and prone to mood swings. People with low neuroticism are more emotionally stable. </li>\n\t<li>Extraversion - People with a high degree of extraversion are engaging, energetic, talkative, and thrive off social interactions. </li>\n</ul>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When you combine the research in RPG skills and their application in the workplace with the above personality traits, you can start to create links.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For example, when returning to the RPG skills list, teamwork and multi-tasking are crucial in these games.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Therefore, people with high levels of conscientiousness and agreeableness will thrive in RPGs. </p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Similarly, you need someone that’s fairly open and extravert in your team.</p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Diversity in RPG Skills</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, as mentioned before, RPG skills are diverse in the sense that there’s a place for everyone.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">So, a person with high levels of neuroticism would still be useful on a team because they could bring a serious, focused approach to things.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Therefore, it’s less about finding people with certain traits and saying they’d be great RPG players, and more about finding ways to harness everyone’s skills.  </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">The RPG Skills List Applies to Life</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The world of video gaming has changed so much in recent years.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Although RPGs offer exciting action in a fantastical environment, they still require gamers to make use of, and develop, skills that can be used in the real world.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Whether it’s learning to manage multiple tasks while performing individual duties or it’s taking charge of a team, the RPG skills list is one that applies to more than gaming.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Therefore, the next time someone tells you that gaming is no good for your brain, use your RPG skills to prove them wrong.</p>\n","date":"1/6/2020"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_22/VKN_Blog-images---Vikings-weapons.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13330"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/mythological-rpg-fantasy-game-characters/"},"strings":{"title":"What Are the Main Types of Fantasy & RPG Characters?","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p dir=\"ltr\">Fantasy characters and races aren't only used for the story, in fact, one of their many functions is to inform how players engage with game systems.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">With this in mind, it's interesting to explore some of the most popular mythological fantasy <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">Role-Playing Game (RPG)</a> characters. What makes these characters special, and how do video games represent them? Read on to find out!</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h3>In this post we will cover:</h3>\n\n<ol>\n\t<li>Orcs</li>\n\t<li>Elves</li>\n\t<li>Giants</li>\n\t<li>Dwarves</li>\n\t<li>Skin-Walkers</li>\n\t<li>Necromancers</li>\n\t<li>The Undead</li>\n\t<li>Witches</li>\n\t<li>Dragons</li>\n\t<li>Noble Humans</li>\n</ol>\n\n<h2>1. Orcs</h2>\n\n<p>Orcs have been prevalent fantasy characters within many mythologies throughout human history. Roman naturalist, Pliny the Elder, described orcs as an enormous mass of flesh armed with teeth. In a more modern context, it was Tolkien who most influenced their depictions through his famed high fantasy adventure series.</p>\n\n<p>Amongst the fantasy characters available, Orcs are mostly used as high-strength and low-intelligence brutes of RPG characters. This makes them well-suited to tank or damage rolls, where they take the front lines to fight in a melee. That said, some Orc leaders buck the trend. These standouts can become thoughtful leaders and adept mages, though warriors are still the most common orc roles.</p>\n\n<h2>2. Elves</h2>\n\n<p>It’s strange to think of fantasy RPG characters, but many people associate elves with the fabled creatures that make presents at the North Pole. For gamers, elves often represent a near opposite of their Santa-based counterparts when it comes to fantasy characters.</p>\n\n<p>Game elves are usually tall, beautiful beings that are both intelligent and in touch with magic and nature.</p>\n\n<p>Most Elves in gaming dedicate themselves to long-distance combat. Here they use bows as archers, and magic as mages to support the stronger physical forms of other fantasy characters. In more direct combat, Elves can also take the form of assassins. Elves on this path use daggers in a fighting style that emphasizes agility and quick strikes over brute force alone.</p>\n\n<h2>3. Giants</h2>\n\n<p>Across the world of mythologies, giants range from destructive to wise, aggressive to calm. They take so many forms in so many stories that a fantasy RPG can do almost whatever they want with the creature.</p>\n\n<p>In <a href=\"/en/games/\">video games</a>, implementing Giants in games with other fantasy characters can be problematic due to their size. For this reason, they are often relegated to support as summon attacks, or NPCs in areas where size isn't a concern.</p>\n\n<p>When they are playable, their raw strength and Health Points (HP) make them a valuable tank or warrior unit, even in small numbers.</p>\n\n<h2>4. Dwarves</h2>\n\n<p>While almost always diminutive and mountain-dwelling, dwarves also take multiple forms throughout mythology. Probably the most recognized depiction is from Germanic mythology. As fantasy characters, they are expert miners, smithies, crafters, and boast tremendous wisdom.</p>\n\n<p>As playable fantasy characters, Dwarves usually have high stamina and HP, making them great as tank fantasy characters. They might not have the strength of orcs or the HP of giants, but their tenacity in combat makes them indispensable. Just don't challenge them to drinking contests.</p>\n\n<h2>5. Skin-Walkers</h2>\n\n<p>Skin-walker is a term given to humans who can shape-shift into, or possess, animals, the most famous of which is the werewolf. Noted in folklore all over the world, skin-walkers reflect the human fear of animal instincts.</p>\n\n<p>While rare in gaming, skin-walkers usually have some unique attributes which can give them a serious edge. Often this involves changing form in direct combat. Such surprises can turn them from puny humans into powerful Damage Per Second (DPS) warrior classes who can quickly take less-prepared foes by surprise.</p>\n\n<h2>6. Necromancers</h2>\n\n<p>Necromancers are users of dark and evil magic who can summon and control the dead in spirit or by raising corpses. Recognized since the ancient Greek Homer penned the epic poem, The Odyssey, Necromancer morality is always in question.</p>\n\n<p>A favorite with fantasy RPG characters and series, necromancers often act as indirect DPS magic classes supported by powerful spells.</p>\n\n<p>Though they can be powerful fighters in their own rights, necromancers set themselves apart by summoning hordes of skeletons, golems, or other mythological creatures to fight for them.</p>\n\n<h2>7. The Undead</h2>\n\n<p>The undead fantasy characters of RPG titles are often the minions of dark and powerful beings. Yet, some of the best video game characters that come under the undead category aren’t mindless minions.</p>\n\n<p>Ingame, undead are usually balanced by the dichotomy of their physiology.</p>\n\n<p>Mostly used as front-line fighters, an undead character might not have the highest health or damage, but their reanimated bodies can often resist pain or other negative status effects. After all, creatures don't have to worry about drowning if they don't have lungs.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">8. Witches</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Featured in folklore across Europe and North America, the average witches are creatures who can be as enticing as they are dangerous. Often depicted as women, they are generally evil beings or those that have been cast out by society.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Powered by dark magic, witches are usually demonized as unnaturally powerful. Witches are complex as fantasy characters, sometimes existing as fantasy characters, other times acting as an archetype adopted by other fantasy characters.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bolstered by magic, witches can act as healers and support through spells and potions, fling magic attacks from afar, or even boost their physical abilities in direct combat. This can give them a lot of flexibility in roles like DPS spellcasters, though they rarely act as tanks.</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">9. Dragons</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Dragons take many different forms in mythology and are common across European and Asian mythos. While Asian dragons tend to be more serpentine than most European depictions, they all spawn from humanity’s innate fear of snakes and similar dangerous reptiles.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Like giants, dragons are difficult to implement as playable RPG characters due to their size. When they do appear, they can often become hybrids of DPS and tank units, relying on flight and fire to give their playstyle flexibility. Acting as both melee fighters and spellcasters, dragons are power companions in and out of combat.</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">10. Noble Humans</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Creatures of myth often go hand-in-hand with a noble human tasked with killing them. From ancient Greek mythology to the tales of the middle-ages, great beasts of myth almost always meet their demise at the hands of a noble, often male, hero.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When playable as characters, humans are often the most flexible of all RPG characters. As a jack of all trades and master of none, they can fit into any of the holy trinity fantasy characters equally well.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While they might not have the special abilities of the more dedicated fantasy characters, their capacity for mixing strengths can give them unique combinations of skills that others might lack.</p>\n","date":"1/6/2020"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2016/3/blog_illustration_09.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13329"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/what-makes-a-game-an-rgp/"},"strings":{"title":"A Look at RPG Games Online: What Makes a Game an RPG?","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p><a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPGs</a> are one of the longest standing and most popular genres available. Today, millions of players enjoy RPG games online, and offline RPG games also draw significant attention.</p>\n\n<p>So what exactly are RPG games, and what makes RPGs so popular?</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-are-rpg-games?\">What are RPG Games?</h2>\n\n<p>RPG stands for role-playing game. These are games which tend to be heavily story-based and have a player taking a specific part, or role.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-makes-a-game-an-rpg?\">What Makes a Game an RPG?</h2>\n\n<p>In general terms, a game is an RPG if your team or character follows an overarching quest. Playing this quest typically involves leveling up, fighting enemies, and navigating important menu systems.</p>\n\n<p>RPG games are a wide genre covering a huge range of themes, which can make them hard to define. A big part of this comes from the fact that many types of games are now incorporating RPG elements.<br />\nThis is done because RPG games give a strong emphasis on progression. A longer game aids the feeling of accomplishment, which can make you feel more attached to a character or team.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-a-traditional-rpg-game?\">What is a traditional RPG game?</h2>\n\n<p>The more traditional games in this genre are fantasy RPG games. These are illustrated by early Nintendo Entertainment System series such as Final Fantasy or Dragon Warrior. With these games, you fight an overwhelming evil force together with your party. Sometimes you control one main character within this party, other times you are given the entire party to follow.</p>\n\n<p>In these early games, combat is usually turn-based, randomly encountered, and placed on a separate field. Players select which moves to take from menus, including a range of physical, ranged, healing, and magical abilities. Once you win a battle, you are given experience and loot drops, and then brought back to the world map or dungeon screen.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-most-popular-rpg-games-in-real-life?\">What are the Most Popular RPG Games in Real Life?</h2>\n\n<p>Real-life RPGs are most commonly illustrated by tabletop games such as Dungeons and Dragons. This is a longstanding multiplayer RPG series dating back to 1974. Within this game, you use dice rolls and character statistic sheets to decide player guided outcomes.</p>\n\n<p>Just as with video games, players within real-life RPGs earn gear, level up, and become more powerful over time. Every few years these systems are overhauled, such as the D&D 5th Edition, which was released in 2014.<br />\nThere is currently a wide range of different <a href=\"/en/games/category/popular-games/\">popular tabletop RPG games</a> available. These include:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Dungeons and Dragons (all editions)</li>\n\t<li>Shadowrun</li>\n\t<li>Call of Cthulhu</li>\n\t<li>Vampire: The Masquerade</li>\n\t<li>Star Wars</li>\n\t<li>Pathfinder</li>\n\t<li>Warhammer</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>These aren’t just tied to the idea of mages and magic. Some, like Shadowrun, involve cyberpunk. Others, like Call of Cthulhu and Vampire: The Masquerade take a more horrific aesthetic. There are even those which abandon the tabletop altogether, instead taking part in costume and in a more active manner. These are called LARPs.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-a-larp?\">What is a LARP?</h2>\n\n<p>LARP stands for Live Action Role-Play. Players of these games meet in person in private or public places to add more live-action to their role-play experiences. This typically involves costumes, mock combat, and long periods of staying in character.<br />\nAs with tabletop games, these can cover many different subgenres. Classic LARP games revolve around fantasy, romance, and even real history.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"how-varied-are-new-rpg-games?\">How Varied are New RPG Games?</h2>\n\n<p>As many forms of gaming adopt RPG mechanics or inspiration, the genre has grown and evolved. If you want to play an RPG in 2019 you could find many different subgenre hybrids, including the following:</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"action-rpgs\">Action RPGs</h3>\n\n<p>These are games with combat which is more focused on real-time action. <a href=\"/en/games/genre/action-games/\">In an action RPG</a>, you might control your character's movement and attacks whenever in combat. Outside of combat, you could still level up, change and equip skills, and otherwise, rely on in-depth menu systems.</p>\n\n<p>These are usually played in a third-person perspective.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"collectible-rpgs\">Collectible RPGs</h3>\n\n<p>Collectible RPGs are a form rapidly gaining steam as RPG mobile games, though they have existed long before smartphones. Pokemon was a strong early example of this, as collecting a powering up a team was a huge part of the game. In more recent terms, many games have found massive success on the mobile front. These focus on building yourself a powerful small team, improving their gear, and fighting PVP and PVE battles.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"What makes a game an RPG?\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week49/raid-game-team.jpg \" style=\"width: 600px; height: 400px;\" /></p>\n\n<h3 id=\"tactical-rpgs\">Tactical RPGs</h3>\n\n<p>Tactical RPGs tend to present a top-down or isometric perspective within battles. Here, you will need to move your characters around certain tiles or areas to gain a positional advantage. These usually give players a set amount of moves in a round, in a turn-based fashion.</p>\n\n<p>These are just a few of the current popular RPG subgenres available. Often these borrow heavily from each other, which can make it difficult to ascribe them to just one subtype. Sometimes it can be best to consider RPG games as many genres together. This can be confusing, but it can also be the only way categorize them accurately.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-most-popular-rpg-video-games?\">What are the Most Popular RPG Video Games?</h2>\n\n<p>The most popular RPG video games at this time include The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Skyrim, and World of Warcraft. These can be difficult to ascribe to one particular genre. Generally, we take the most central mechanics when labeling them.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"old-school-rpgs\">Old-school RPGs</h3>\n\n<p>Despite their modern trappings, games like Persona 5 and Skyrim are still heavily steeped in classical RPG standards. Both of these involve going on large quests, slaying demons and monsters, and facing seemingly impossible odds.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"mmorpgs\">MMORPGs</h3>\n\n<p>Standing for Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games, MMORPGs have been very popular since the early internet. World of Warcraft has been the most popular of these for over a decade, but it is not the only successful game. Final Fantasy 14, despite a rocky start, also now boasts over a million active subscriptions.</p>\n\n<p>MMORTS' are another sub-genre that take the best features from MMORPGs and apply them to a strategic setting in order to appeal to a different audience with Vikings: War of Clans being a well-known example of this.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"action-rpgs\">Action RPGs</h3>\n\n<p>Action RPGs have been finding a lot of success recently, and are still on the rise. Looking at RPG 2019 releases, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice has been immensely popular, despite its notable difficulty. Longtime RPG fans are also looking forward to the Final Fantasy 7 remake, which is slated for release in 2020. This marks one of the more obvious instances of action RPG evolution, as the original Final Fantasy 7 was a traditional Japanese RPG.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-does-the-future-of-rpg-games-look-like?\">What Does the Future of RPG Games Look Like?</h2>\n\n<p>With more games borrowing more from RPG’s every year, we have to wonder what the future will look like. If the current trajectory holds, anticipate many mainstream games leaning on RPG mechanics for longevity. If not in <a href=\"/en/blog/single-player/\">single-player</a>, then expect <a href=\"/en/games/genre/multiplayer-games/\">multiplayer </a>components to become more RPG-centric in their offerings.</p>\n","date":"12/23/2019"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week49/raid-game-team.jpg "},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13326"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/mmo-racing-games/"},"strings":{"title":"What are MMO Racing Games?","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>There are very few genres in gaming that can match the excitement and thrills offered by racing games.

Many titles also feature mini-game options to make the experience more rounded.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2>When did Racing Games Start?</h2>\n\n<p>Not many sports are as thrilling and competitive as racing, so it is unsurprising that racing games have been popular in video gaming since the very beginning. </p>\n\n<p>Released all the way back in 1974, Gran Trak 10 by Atari is widely regarded by experts as the first example of a racing video game. </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"The possibilities of Racing MMOs could be mindboggling\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/21_Money.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>In the decades since, racing games have taken on many forms with some focusing on more action-packed elements and others attempting to create an authentic, realistic simulation of driving specific cars. </p>\n\n<p>However, whether it is Need for Speed, F1 or Gran Turismo, they all have one thing in common – exciting racing action.</p>\n\n<p>The omnipresence of the internet has opened up new possibilities in terms of <a href=\"/en/games/genre/multiplayer-games/\">multiplayer</a> options for racing, giving players the chance to challenge themselves against top drivers from across the world. </p>\n\n<p>Furthermore, it has led to the creation of open-world racing games, where there is fun to be had away from the track, across a wide variety of terrains.</p>\n\n<h2>How can you play MMO racing games?</h2>\n\n<p>Online racing games are available across a range of platforms from consoles to <a href=\"/en/games/platform/pc-games/\">PC</a> and <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mobile-games/\">mobile</a>, but the same rules tend to apply to playing them. To get involved in the action, you need to:</p>\n\n<ol>\n\t<li>Select the game you want to play</li>\n\t<li>Download the app or visit the website</li>\n\t<li>Register your personal details</li>\n\t<li>Get racing!</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>MMO racing titles feature an array of payment models including subscriptions, but it is also common to find free racing games, too. </p>\n\n<p>Be aware though that these often follow the free-to-play structure, which means that while you get initial access for no cost, you may have to spend money to boost your gameplay or make changes to your vehicle.</p>\n\n<h2>What are the top MMO racing games?</h2>\n\n<p>A number of exciting MMO racing games have come and gone down the years. For example, EA brought the Need for Speed franchise into this area with Need for Speed World, although the Microsoft Windows title was only in operation from 2010 to 2015.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMO Racing is exciting!\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week36/images/30.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" title=\"MMO Race Car Driver\" /></p>\n\n<p>Other notable MMO open world racing games include the TrackMania series, with Ubisoft claiming its TrackMania Forever title is the most popular online racing game for PC in history, with more than 16 million registered drivers. </p>\n\n<p>Another major name in this area is iRacing, a subscription-based game endorsed by professional drivers that offers players the chance to enjoy a range of events and realistic driving experiences in a number of vehicles.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>Are there MMO racing eSports? </h2>\n\n<p>While the world of eSports tends to be dominated by other forms of MMO gaming like <a href=\"/en/blog/moba-games-guide/\">MOBA</a> titles such as League of Legends, MMO racing titles are increasingly getting a foothold in the ever-growing field of competitive spectator gaming.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Racing MMos as a part of eSports\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/19_Strong.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>The iRacing eSports Network on YouTube, for example, broadcasts a range of races featuring some of the best talent involved in the game, while the iRacing eSports World Championships feature six series and a total cash prize pool of $100,000. </p>\n\n<p>It's clear that iRacing is, at least for now, the focus when it comes to MMO racing eSports.</p>\n\n<p>While that level of prize money may mean MMO racing lags behind some of the bigger eSports in a financial sense, the genre is more than a match when it comes to adrenalin-fuelled excitement.</p>\n\n<h2>Going mobile with your MMO racing</h2>\n\n<p>MMO gaming is often associated with PCs - yet, as we touched upon earlier, MMO racing can be enjoyed across a range of platforms.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMO racing games on mobile\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week36/images/31.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" title=\"Mobile racing\" /></p>\n\n<p>Open world racing games have grown on smartphone and tablets, as the technological capabilities of the devices evolve. A notable example is Hutch Games’ Race Kings title, which is particularly popular on both iOS and Android, offering gamers the chance to participate in live events against opponents matched to meet their skill level.</p>\n\n<h2>What is the future of MMO racing?</h2>\n\n<p>All of the signs point towards virtual reality becoming the next big thing in MMO racing.</p>\n\n<p>VR is an area that gaming as a whole is exploring more and more and it is already making an impact on racing games in general. </p>\n\n<p>Titles like Project Cars 2 and Assetto Corsa now feature virtual reality modes which mean players have the chance to feel like they are well and truly behind the wheel of the vehicles they are driving.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Tired MMO gamer\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/7_Gamer.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>In addition, with emerging titles like Orbus VR bringing a virtual reality twist to fantasy MMO gaming, it seems like it is only a matter of time until MMO racing games take that step too.</p>\n\n<h2>Discover a whole new world with MMO racing</h2>\n\n<p>Racing is a sport which has always been a natural fit for gaming and it remains as popular as ever. Combining the genre with MMO elements has opened gamers up to a whole new world and given them a chance to compete against rivals across the globe.</p>\n\n<p>Whether you are an experienced racer or an MMO fan seeking a new challenge, online racing games can give you a chance to enjoy life in the fast lane.</p>\n","date":"9/3/2019"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/covers/general/5_b.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13318"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/youtube-gaming-channels/"},"strings":{"title":"Top YouTube Gaming Channels","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"720000","description":"<p>YouTube currently dominates social media, and maybe additional platforms in the near future.

MMG has achieved it through passion and hard work.

His brand and how he presents it, e.g. with his <a href=\"/en/resource/maker/gaming-logo-maker/\">gaming logo</a>, is also very important for his success. </p>\n\n<p>Bufarete describes his experience as a YouTuber as therapeutic, talking and joking about his life experiences:</p>\n\n<p><em><strong>\"While many people watch my videos for comedic purposes, I mostly use them as my personal therapy ha ha ha.

Studies, according to iD Tech, have found that gaming improves hand-eye coordination and cognitive skills. And Bufarete has already explained how the YouTube community can be an outlet for emotions, not to mention comedic talents. It’s a way to share excitement and frustration, as well as meet people from across the globe as passionate about games as you.</p>\n\n<p>Bufarete’s 86,720 total subscribers may be lower than the YouTubers already mentioned. But that doesn’t stop millions of viewers tuning in to watch him laugh his way through Clash Royale.

Crossing the 100,000 subscriber mark is not enough; Solo Mission will beat every final boss in his current series and keep upping his game in hardcore Runescape playthroughs.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/c/SoloMission/about\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Solo Mission</a> explains:</p>\n\n<p><em><strong>\"I have a series where I play Old School Runescape with very harsh restrictions, this makes the journey in the game much more challenging and different to the conventional approach. I also try to make my videos more than just game-play, I don't take myself seriously and am always down for a laugh!\"</strong></em></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Solo Mission says he doesn't take himself too seriously as a YouTuber and Gamer\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week36/photo/solomission1.jpg\" style=\"width: 480px; height: 360px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>The continued popularity of Runescape in 2019 was surely boosted by Solo Mission risking everything to earn 570 million coins. It's a safe assumption that <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">role-playing games</a> would not be one of the most popular genres today without the fun of the original Runescape. It helped move RPGs onto the multiplayer world and has now evolved into a title of legend.</p>\n\n<p>Thanks to its status and his creativity, Solo Mission has secured 62,047 subscribers and over 8.3 million views. It may have been over a decade since its first release, but gamers still enjoy nothing more than to explore Old School</p>\n\n<p>Runescape’s possibilities; antique and re-invented.</p>\n\n<p>Solo Mission has ambitious plans for the months ahead:</p>\n\n<p><em><strong>\"I aim to reach all the end game bosses in my current Old School Runescape series, and hopefully obtain some of the most powerful items in the game on my low level account. I am also always coming up with ideas for new series to release which will hopefully grow the channel to 100,000 subscribers in 6 months time!\"</strong></em></p>\n\n<h2>5.

Seatin Man of Legends pleases fans with a passion for Marvel Contest of Champions and Marvel Strike Force. He provides walkthroughs, livestreams and tips, as well as a great personality to make all his uploads shine.</p>\n\n<p>His determination is clear:</p>\n\n<p><em><strong>\"What makes my channel so unique is my commitment to the YouTube grind. I aim to upload 75-100 videos every single month. Since starting my YouTube career 3 years ago I've already made over 3000 videos. I'm also very self aware and I like to have a lot of fun with that. I plan on continuing to be at the forefront of Marvel Contest of Champions making some awesome content and video guides.\"</strong></em></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Seatin Man of Legends provides walkthroughs, livestreams and tips, as well as a great personality\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week36/photo/seatinmanoflegends1.jpg\" style=\"width: 700px; height: 500px;\" title=\"seatin man of legends\" /></p>\n\n<p>A rich source of information on anything regarding Marvel Contest of Champions is within easy reach.

Ebony Maw Cavalier, Corvus, and Venom the Duck. Just browse through the channel’s array of videos for your answers.</p>\n\n<p>It's amusing to hear that Callum Willis, aka Seatin Man of Legends, entertainer of 215,078 subscribers, was once in a normal digital marketing job. In 2012, he successfully joined the ranks of gaming channels on YouTube and now makes around $62,000 a year.</p>\n\n<p>Love Money sees him as an example of how following your passion today is not only possible, but rewarding. Common gaming interests have long been a source of fun, community and a decent living.</p>\n\n<h2>6. MrNoSleep OSRS</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/yUqBRqMLax0\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Here is another YouTuber dedicated to Old School Runescape. While lists of the top 100 RPGs of all time may not include OSRS, they do emphasize that there are hundreds of role-playing games to choose from. With so many titles out there, how does a gaming YouTuber distinguish themselves from the crowd? Originality.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/c/MrNoSleepOSRS/featured\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">MrNoSleep</a> OSRS searches for opportunities to make his channel unique:</p>\n\n<p><em><strong>\"My inspiration comes from watching other content creators videos, I think to myself that if someone else can come up with a good idea then I should be able to as well. </strong></em><em><strong>I think some things that make my channel unique is that certain videos of mine you wouldn’t find anywhere else on YouTube, regarding OSRS some monsters that I explore around the game have never been seen before, so not only do I get to entertain people through my videos but I can inform them on if a monster is worth visiting in the game.\"</strong></em></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Mr. No Sleep is one of the most dedicated Gamers on YouTube\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week36/photo/mrnosleep1.jpg\" style=\"width: 750px; height: 1334px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>OSRS's size and versatility make it a great platform for the creation of entertaining series. This YouTuber also explores other channels for inspiration, do's and don'ts. Ideas can be found everywhere for the next exciting Runescape story.</p>\n\n<p>MrNoSleep OSRS has accumulated 17,281,630 views so far, hinting at the effectiveness of his strategy. Sponsored by Ironside PC, IntoTheAM and Soothe, the channel may earn thousands of dollars, but it gives back, too. Its supporters are rewarded with 5-10% discounts on products alongside OSRS secrets that no other YouTuber is willing to uncover.</p>\n\n<h2>7. Mango Seven</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/FmudjXYrzW8\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>The competition between <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mobile-games/\">mobile</a> and PC gaming rages on and YouTubers like <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/c/Mango7Roll/featured\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Mango Seven</a> make the most of it. This channel’s services go beyond Summoners War and Fire Emblem Heroes gameplays or guides on anime figures and Final Fantasy XIV Gils. It’s driven to experiencing as many mobile games as possible and then educating viewers.</p>\n\n<p>But a smart business sense is as essential as video game expertise when it comes to building a successful gaming channel on YouTube.</p>\n\n<p>Mango Seven knows what he's doing:</p>\n\n<p><em><strong>\"I actively play so many mobile games that I have the unique insight of being able to know what's happening in every one of them, knowing the ups and downs, etc. Using this information it really helps me figure out the best place to be in terms of videos and helps me realize what people are actively needing in terms of guides. Mobile gaming is so up-and-down and there's always new games coming out. The great part of my community is that if you play mobile games, there's a good chance you play at least one of the ones I am invested in.\"</strong></em></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><img alt=\"Mango Seven\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week36/photo/mango7_2.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 500px;\" title=\"Mango Seven\" /></strong></em></p>\n\n<p>Had 210.9 million mobile users in the US and Canada not been reported to be gamers, that sector may not have interested Mango Seven. Knowing the facts and figures of such a thriving market is an asset for any YouTuber offering updates on the best and newest titles available.</p>\n\n<p>Succeeding against other gaming channels on YouTube is a matter of entrepreneurship. Mango Seven's friendly community is now 25,773 subscribers strong. Let’s compare this to the 120k views of its most popular video, 10</p>\n\n<p>Things Epic Seven Players Screw Up. The future looks bright for the channel as it bravely branches out to new games and audiences.</p>\n\n<h2>What is the Point of YouTube Gaming?</h2>\n\n<p>The entertainment industry would not be the same without its communities of fun-loving players and viewers. Look at:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>The income of the best gaming YouTubers, as we've outlined above.</li>\n\t<li>The $4,233,733.21 earnings of eSports champion Kuroky. Pro players also make a living by playing and streaming video games.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>There’s more to sharing gaming videos than financial gain, however.</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>It’s easier for casual players to find solutions or suggested purchases in a video than a forum.</li>\n\t<li>The entertainment value is higher than a movie’s unchanging scenario. Today’s best video games are designed to be replayed several times over with alternate choices and endings.</li>\n\t<li>Each of the gaming channels on YouTube has something new to offer – unique playthroughs, secrets, funny and intrepid gamers.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Gaming technologies and trends evolve, and so do their experts. Above are examples of creators whose personality, innovation and understanding of their industry have propelled them into the limelight. Their knowledge and ambitions in the management of their channels are valuable in terms of things to learn and look forward to. Keep a close eye on these YouTubers as they open up new horizons in video game experiences.</p>\n","date":"9/2/2019"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"","href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/covers/general/13_b.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13316"}}],"listArticles":[{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/tv-shows-video-games/"},"strings":{"title":"TV Shows Based on Video Games – The Ultimate Guide"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"What TV shows are based on video games?","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/tv-shows-games-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16286"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/top-casual-games/"},"strings":{"title":"10 of the Best Casual Games to Try in 2023"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"The top 10 casual games of 2023","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/casual-games-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16219"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/top-castle-games/"},"strings":{"title":"Five of the Best: Top Castle Games for 2023"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Check out the top Castle Games!","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/castle-games-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16214"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/windows-games-on-mac/"},"strings":{"title":"How to Play Windows Games on Mac: A Complete Guide"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"How to play Windows games on Mac","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/windows-games-mac-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16213"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/best-puzzle-games/"},"strings":{"title":"The Best Puzzle Games for Adults in 2023"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"The 15 best puzzle games to play in 2023!","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/puzzle-games-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16206"}}]},"components":{}}},{"name":"widget-articles-aside-promoted-game-v3","type":"widget-articles-aside-promoted-game-v3","model":{"links":{"url":"/en/plarium-play/download-user/?plid=885739&pxl=seo&appId=27","urlForGamePage":"/en/game/raid-shadow-legends/","googlePlayUrl":"https://app.appsflyer.com/com.plarium.raidlegends?pid=SEO&c=749089","appStoreUrl":"https://app.appsflyer.com/id1371565796?pid=SEO&c=749088&af_siteid=HomePage"},"strings":{"title":"RAID: Shadow Legends","subtitle":"Collect 700+ Champions & Fight For Glory","label":"Download","analyticsGameName":"raid"},"images":{"promoImg":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/plarium-play/games/Raid/promo.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"authGameTheme":"default","isRedirectDownload":"true"},"repeaters":{},"components":{}}},{"name":"widget-articles-subscribe-v3","type":"widget-articles-subscribe-v3","model":{"links":{},"strings":{"title":"Subscribe to the Blog","errorInvalid":"Invalid email address.

The eSports scene is growing at an exponential rate, and there’s a lot of space for gamers to make a name for themselves in the industry.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Exploring the current state of play, Plarium sat down with an influencer who certainly has an interesting perspective on the world of gaming. In their interview, we managed to get some key insight into modern competitive gaming. </p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For us, there was no better personality to interview than Professor Akali, a former competitive gamer-turned-YouTube star. These days, he posts regular League of Legends content on his channels. </p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Without further ado, let's find out Professor Akali’s thoughts on the competitive gaming scene, where LoL is heading and much more, in an exclusive interview. </p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Who is Professor Akali?</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Akali’s real name is Kevin Payaam Maroufkhani. He is a former challenger, professional League of Legends player, and gaming coach. Since 2016, Professor Akali has been running his own popular YouTube channel, which features League of Legends guides and LoL entertainment videos.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The influencer’s channel, aptly named \"Professor Akali,\" boasts over 758,000 subscribers and over 900 videos. It’s simply a huge channel for any League of Legends fan, with plenty of helpful and entertaining streams.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Akali’s first video, \"Winning A Diamond Ranked Game In Two Plays Ft. Best Akali KR,\" went live on YouTube all the way back on August 21, 2016. Growing immensely in popularity in the years since, the videos he creates now get hundreds of thousands of views.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">His most popular creation to date is \"Professor Akali vs. 5 Bronze Players (1v5) – League of Legends,\" which has over 2.2 million views. Along with his most popular video to date, Professor Akali has nine other streams that have eclipsed one million views. He has certainly earned a mighty audience of gamers within the League of Legends community, if not with eSports fans at large.</p>\n<iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/sIIFhmA_lko\" width=\"560\"></iframe>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Which Champion Does Professor Akali Use?</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Akali predominantly uses the rogue assassin Akali as his champion when playing League of Legends. As his name would suggest, the player has an affinity for the moderately difficult assassin champion.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But why does Professor Akali use Akali in LoL? When asked why he’s so attached to the character, Professor Akali responded, \"She is by far the most fun character in the game to play.” Akali is a strong player in the game, which is likely why <a href=\"https://dotesports.com/league-of-legends/news/riot-previews-league-patch-10-3-changes-to-akali-yuumi-senna-and-aphelios\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">she was nerfed in the most recent 10.3 patch</a>, but the Professor's reply reminds us how it’s important to use fun champions as well as strong champions.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One of the reasons why Professor Akali has been able to reach the heights of pro gaming is precisely because he enjoys using Akali. This has, in turn, made it much easier for him to put in the hours it takes to become a great player and streamer.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We also asked what makes him so much better at using Akali than his fellow influencers. He teasingly responded that he is just better at the game than his counterparts. Of course, the point was also made that he also plays as Akali thousands of times a year.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As anyone who has played League of Legends will know, there is a distinct difference between experienced players and noobs. In games like LoL and DOTA 2, there's a grand learning curve and many aspects to become familiar with if you hope to be a competitive player.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Outsiders often perceive professional gaming as a hobby of little effort. This is because gaming is, for most people, a leisurely and entertaining activity. Getting to the penthouse of pro gaming, though, takes thousands of hours of practice and strategizing. Professor Akali shows this as he explains how dedicated he is to just one champion on League of Legend.</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">What's His Take on PC vs Console Gaming?</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Gaming on PC offers the player more controls and functions, which increases the skill that can be used in-game, says the pro. Professor Akali explains that the options on console controllers are too narrow to compete competitively, and we know quite a lot of his peers who would agree.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img alt=\"Professor Akali\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/company/Blog/Articles/2020/february/influencers/2.jpg\" style=\"width: 1024px; height: 720px;\" /></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">According to the former League of Legends pro, console controllers are simply too small and limited for competition. He told us that a small controller of around 14 buttons doesn't give players enough of a range of controls as compared to the keyboard. Professor Alkali aptly finished his point by saying, \"if you think that you can play competitively with an Xbox controller, you’re delusional.\"</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It’s easy to see why this is the case just by looking at the new games coming onto the scene. New titles aspire to the gameplay and skill levels in the likes of DOTA 2 and League of Legends. Developers want to replicate the immense depth and skill required to play their games to become respected competitive PC titles. This can be seen in the design and depth of PvP Arena battle title <a href=\"/en/plarium-play/\">Raid: Shadow Legends on PC</a>. With over 300 champions, epic boss battles, and over one million builds, Raid offers the depth desired by gamers. Due to the nature of the intense PvP arena, players are also required to learn the game and develop the skill to rise up the ranks - as it goes with almost every successful game worth the trouble.</p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">What is the Worst Part of Solo Queue?</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Akali believes that the worst part of a solo queue game is players who talk, chat, or moan too much. Simply put, players who are concentrated on winning don’t tend to do much typing. So, in LoL, you can tell who is going to be annoying in the game by their volume of chatter.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Akali stated that people who vent are the most annoying: “More specifically, the jungler always frigging cries.” In his experience in the professional ranks and to this day, he says that basically every high-level jungler cries in the game.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">What's more, Alkali says that there’s one situation that always gets the jungler moaning: When the game is around two minutes in, and the mid-laner doesn’t have pressure, he can’t roam to help the jungler. But the jungler wants help because they suck and get invaded. </p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Clearly, Professor Akali doesn't have much time for junglers who can't do their jobs and moan for help when things aren't going their way. In competitive LoL, the best way for a team to rise to the top is for everyone to be pulling their weight well in their own space. In the early game, the mid-laner can't give up their post to help the jungler, so there's no point crying for help.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you happen to play jungler and are still reading at this point, the advice the pro has for you is that if you don’t want to get under the skin of your teammates, you’d best avoid crying in the chat and instead work on not getting invaded early on. </p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">What Does Professor Akali Think of Competitive Mobile Gaming?</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Interestingly, Professor Akali sees a strong future for competitive mobile gaming. His view is primarily based on the fact that mobile devices are getting stronger, and mobile games are developing rapidly.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It may not be up to the standards of PC gaming, but we can all admit that we've sunk a fair bit of time in a free mobile game. Most of us have also spent a bit of money on some microtransactions too. Mobile gaming is simply too diverse, easy, and convenient for it not to appeal to everyone - let alone to gamers. </p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Mobile gaming can still best be described as a guilty pleasure by most. The platform has a bit of stigma due to the games seemingly being inferior to console and PC games. Professor Akali used to be of the thinking that mobile games aren't good enough to be competitive. However, he’s since come around on the idea, despite the obvious difference in controls here too.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When asked if he sees a future for competitive games on mobile, he said:</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">“I used to not think so, but considering how mobile games are evolving so rapidly – in terms of how smoothly they run and all these things – and computers are not [evolving].  Mobile devices are getting stupidly strong, to the point where they’re like a computer from a year or two ago. I would say there’s definitely a very strong chance [that there’s a future for competitive mobile games], and, on top of that, the last fact is: So many people like mobile games.”</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">That's a fair point if we've ever seen one. As pretty much all of us have mobiles in our pockets and mobile games are so easily accessed, it shouldn't be surprising that mobile games are so popular. The mobile scene has become much more competitive and now there are loads of high-quality games available. </p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Now, mobile gaming is at a place where it wants to expand alongside the growing eSports industry. Of course, mobiles aren’t quite ready for sprawling MOBAs – mostly due to the limited controls available. But well-balanced and highly-competitive games are still making it to mobile devices.<a href=\"/en/game/raid-shadow-legends/\"> A prime example of this is Raid</a>, which has delivered top-class competitive mobile gaming by adapting the PC version to be compatible with the small screen. It has the depth and customization options that competitive players seek, but with mobile-optimized controls.</p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Why Is Online Gaming Better Than Classic Card Games like Poker?</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Akali has dabbled in the poker scene in the past but says that he doesn’t like the game anymore. </p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Speaking on his experiences on the poker scene at a competitive level, Professor Akali claims that it went well - until it didn't. He enjoyed the game until he lost, which he says ended up being a net loss. In fact, the League of Legends star says he still wouldn't be recommending the game to anyone else. He says that poker is a boring and slow game - as you would expect from someone whose game time is predominantly spent in the action-packed maps of League of Legends.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We thank Professor Akali for taking the time to talk with us and giving us a look into the exciting world of competitive gaming.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Akali continues to put up several League of Legends videos each month, which<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDIJhfKjVYlbo5-oQvM5EqQ/featured\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"> you can check out on his channel over on YouTube</a>.  </p>\n","date":"2/11/2020"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2020/posts/week_7/influencers/02.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13336"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/bunny-fufuu-interview/"},"strings":{"title":"Pro Gamer-turned-Streamer Bunny FuFuu, Gaming & eSports","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"480000","description":"<p dir=\"ltr\">It's an exciting time to be involved in the competitive gaming scene of eSports. To get a first-hand look at the industry from an insider's perspective, Plarium sat down with League of Legends star Bunny FuFuu. A former professional gamer-turned-streamer, Bunny FuFuu gave us the low-down.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Here, we venture into Bunny FuFuu’s experiences as a pro and a streamer. The incredibly popular YouTube star also gives us some insight on the industry moving forward.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Who is Bunny FuFuu?</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bunny FuFuu’s real name is Michael Kurylo. He’s currently a full-time streamer for the Cloud9 eSport team, focussing on creating League of Legends content. His career began in 2014 as a member of Team Curse, which would become Gravity.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Having impressed with his performances as the champion Thresh, Bunny FuFuu moved onto Cloud 9 in 2016. He featured as a team member before transitioning into full-time streaming for the team.</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Bunny FuFuu's Videos and YouTube</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As of early 2019, Bunny FuFuu boasts over 1.66 million subscribers. The first video on his platform came on 9 January 2016, with Cloud9 welcoming him to the team in the video “Introducing Bunny FuFuu.”</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Since then, the YouTube channel has continued to grow, adding exciting and interesting content. As it stands, the “Bunny FuFuu” channel has posted over 1100 videos of mostly LoL content.</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Gaming, YouTube & Bunny FuFuu</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Many of the videos are focused on League of Legends gameplay, but there’s also space for some off-the-cuff antics. Bunny FuFuu likes to blend the gaming with other stunts to keep it fresh. Videos like “*1 Death = 1 Clothes* The Hottest League Video On YouTube” and “Mystery Grill Makes Me Dinner | 99% Hook Accuracy Thresh” have eclipsed one million and two million views, respectively.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Of Bunny FuFuu’s huge stock of content, over 40 videos have breached one million views. Just surpassing “Mystery Grill Makes Me Dinner” is “60% CDR Mushrooms | Across The Map Quadrakill |1,000 AP Teemo,” which stands as his most popular video at over 2.2 million views.</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Favorite Champion</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">On the gaming side, Bunny FuFuu’s champion of choice is Thresh. He rose to eSports fame through his play as the chain warden and continues to play as the champion.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, his channel doesn’t focus on Thresh gameplay. Bunny FuFuu delves into everything League of Legends, from new patches, like <a href=\"https://dotesports.com/league-of-legends/news/league-of-legends-patch-10-2-notes-updates\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">the VFX updates to Thresh in 10.1 and 10.2</a> and the Akali nerfing, to new skins and game guides.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/zRywJ6-XkCE\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">What is life like as a professional gamer?</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To reach the pinnacle of the competitive gaming scene and make it onto a team, you can bet that you’ll need to do more than just play a game for a few hours each night. As you’ll see across traditional sports, players sink thousands of hours into perfecting their gameplay with the hope that they’ll make it onto a team.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Training is long and rigorous in eSports, to the extent that such commitment may even ruin the experience for the entertainment-seeking casual gamer. While Bunny FuFuu always speaks fondly of his time as a pro gamer, he does detail a rigorous schedule.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bunny FuFuu says that he used to have to wake up at 9 am to do scrooges, with there being a set schedule in place for practices. On an eSports team, gamers must practice the game in very specific ways to establish strategy and chemistry when it comes to a competitive match. Bunny FuFuu even admits,<cite> “Some days, I would play when I don’t necessarily want to.”</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">There are millions, if not billions, of gamers all over the world, with many of them thinking that they’re good enough to turn professional. As gaming is so accessible now, with the likes of LoL and DOTA 2 being <a href=\"/en/games/category/free-to-play-games/\">free-to-play</a>, there’s a great deal of competition for top-class players to overcome. So, the long days and thousands of hours put into the game are necessary for a player to rise to the top.</p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Why is PC the best form of gaming?</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Console gaming and <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mobile-games/\">mobile gaming</a> is more popular among mainstream gamers, but <a href=\"/en/games/platform/pc-games/\">PC</a> is always hailed as king. Controls and hardware performance are limited on non-PC platforms. On PC, though, you can continually upgrade top-line hardware and make use of the array of controls available through using a keyboard and mouse.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It is because of this that PC-based games have become the focus of the <a href=\"/en/blog/esports/\">eSports industry</a>. The platform is home to the most competitive games because the controller set and hardware allow for the highest level of skill to be reached, according to Bunny FuFuu.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The former pro gamer says that gaming on a PC unlocks the maximum amount of skill that you can get out of a game. It allows for the highest skill count and the highest tier of the skill academy that you can get to as a player.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you’ve ever gone from playing a game like Fortnite on an Xbox One X – said to be the world’s most powerful console – to playing it on a high-end PC, you’ll know exactly what Bunny FuFuu means by it allowing for a greater application of skill.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Bunny FuFuu, aka Michael Kurylo\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/company/Blog/Articles/2020/february/influencers/3.jpg\" style=\"width: 1024px; height: 720px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Will competitive mobile gaming ever make it big on the eSports scene?</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Where PC gaming offers the greatest ceiling in terms of skill that can be deployed, mobile gaming is certainly the most popular and accessible form of gaming. As eSports runs on viewership numbers and subsequent advertising, it makes sense that mobile gaming could be targeted as a big feature in the industry.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bunny FuFuu sees it more of being a case of which mobile games eSports figureheads try to promote within the industry. Due to the highest potential skill level that other platforms offer for genres like shooters, a competitive scene for a mobile shooter simply wouldn’t make the cut. Competitive gaming is all about the best of the best battling for supremacy, which can’t be done on a device that is limited to touch-screen controls.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, the pro-turned-streamer does note that there is space for strategy games. This is because the touchscreen input can be enough for the right game for it to allow for the highest possible amount of skill in the genre.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Another issue for Bunny FuFuu with mobile gaming becoming competitive is that “mobile games are meant for just passing time, having fun, or [for people who want] to play with their friends.” Some games do bring highly-skilled, competitive gameplay to mobile players, <a href=\"/en/game/raid-shadow-legends/\">as is the case with Raid: Shadow Legends</a>. Shadow Legends, of course, retains its desktop offering for anyone who feels the same as FuFuu.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Speaking on the current competitive mobile scene, the streamer says that the hardware isn’t where it needs to be just yet. Due to mobile units lacking, the skill cap of what can be achieved has ended up being skewed near the top. Bunny FuFuu states that his results in a good player being able to beat a great player. This needs to be avoided if the highest level of competition is to be created.</p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">What does the future hold for League of Legends and Bunny FuFuu?</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">League of Legends is one of the biggest games in the world right now and is one of the pillars of the eSports industry. However, it can’t last forever.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In the years to come, as more high-quality games push to break into the PC gaming and competitive gaming scene, time will gradually move from LoL. Titles like the PvP-oriented Raid: Shadow Legends on PC are actively looking to become a part of the scene, so will streamers like Bunny FuFuu depart from League of Legends?</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bunny FuFuu has dabbled in Fortnite – as has pretty much everyone by this point – and Teamfight Tactics. But the Cloud9 streamer doesn’t see his whole future as being tied to YouTube. He says that he’s been trying his hand in the world of real-estate, using YouTube to watch other estate agents to find out more.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, Bunny FuFuu doesn’t see such a leap into another profession as coming anytime too soon. The popular content creator simply says: “Right now, I just want to play League, Minecraft, every game, all day.\"</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As gamers, we all know this might just be the best time to be playing games. There’s so much quality in the software across the board. Hardware continues to improve and take us to better experiences. Then there’s also this incredibly exciting new way to enjoy gaming as a spectator, steamer, content creator, or even a professional player.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">With Bunny FuFuu orchestrating a wildly popular YouTube channel that’s dedicated to a superb game, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that he’ll keep at it for a while yet.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We thank Bunny FuFuu for taking the time to talk with Plarium and giving us a look into the exciting world of competitive gaming.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bunny FuFuu continues to put up daily League of Legends videos, so <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv7PqO2lW3eK16sQngYPwsA/featured\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">be sure to check out his channel over on YouTube</a>.</p>\n","date":"2/11/2020"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2020/posts/week_7/influencers/03.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13335"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/youtuber-mmg-of-the-channel-mmg/"},"strings":{"title":"From Food Freebies to Relationship Woes: MMG on the Perks and Perils of YouTube Fame","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"420000","description":"<p dir=\"ltr\">So many of us can’t help but imagine what it would be like to be rich and famous. After all, being able to go to the hottest parties, drive the fastest cars, and live a life of luxury would just be too good to be true.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, for YouTube star and Raid: Shadow Legends fan MMG, the first signs of his growing fame emerged in a rather different manner. Taking part in a Q and A at <a href=\"https://company.plarium.com/en/studio/ukraine-kharkiv/\">Plarium’s Kharkiv studio</a>, he smiles when he is described as being at \"free Chick-fil-A sauce level fame now\".</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\"Somebody must’ve seen my tweet where I did get a couple, two little free packets of Chick-fil-A sauce from a guy who recognized me,\" he explains. However, while he admits getting some praise and adulation is pretty good, there are other perks to his rising profile too.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He said: \"On the flight here actually I saw a fan who was headed back to Saudi Arabia, so that’s probably the best part of it. If you ever get down on yourself like in this world and you don’t feel like making content, if you just step outside for a little bit, meet somebody you know, then it’s pretty incredible.\"</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Building a major presence</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">MMG, or Madden Mobile Gods, is the Youtube name Matt Meagher chose. Pretty incredible is a fairly accurate way to describe Matt’s rise across the past few years, with <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaYxyR9mzVlTrOOyZD0XAmA\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">his YouTube channel</a> boasting more than 1.4 million subscribers at the time of writing.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/J-yxanMtrwE\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">His journey with the platform actually started back when he was 14, playing a game called Matt and Mobile; which was essentially Madden for smartphones. The title featured a virtual currency and, during his freshman year at high school, MMG had so much of it that he started selling it to friends.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\"I got so good at selling that virtual currency that I made an Instagram account called Madden Mobile Gods, which is where MMG comes from, Madden Mobile Gods. Not a lot of people know that\", he explained.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\"If you make a YouTube video about making the virtual currency, you could sell a lot more of it. So my first ever YouTube video was a guide on how to make the virtual currency just so I could sell more of the virtual currency for, like, iTunes gift cards. But then all of a sudden that video did really well for no reason and the rest is pretty much history.\"</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Getting the balance right</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A particularly intriguing part of MMG’s life is how he is running such a successful YouTube channel, even though he is currently still at school. This, of course, leads to the inevitable question – how does he cope and ensure he is devoting enough attention to both? One thing that helps is, undoubtedly, that his passion for making content remains as strong as ever.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He outlines: \"Making videos and entertaining people is something that I enjoy doing, so it’s not so hard to manage it because I kind of want to do it anyway.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\"I will admit though, I don’t go to school that often, I think school takes a little bit of a hit, but I still did pretty well in school, but I think I could be doing better if I wasn’t doing YouTube. I still have YouTube up on that priority list, but don’t tell anyone that one though, and don’t tell my mom that one specifically!\"</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">MMG adds that recognition is also becoming more and more common around school, with his senior status having an impact in that regard.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He explains: \"I do get recognized at school, especially now that I’m a senior because a lot of my audience is about three or four years younger than me.\"</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"YouTuber and Gamer MMG of the channel MMG\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/company/Blog/Articles/2020/february/influencers/5.jpg\" style=\"width: 1024px; height: 720px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Living in the spotlight</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">During our interview, MMG revealed some of the things that are not so easy when you hit the big time on YouTube. One issue we had to ask about was how it feels to be so open about your personal life, and he admitted that it has not always been straightforward.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He revealed how the all-encompassing nature of working and posting content on YouTube means he does not get to spend time with friends as much as he would like, and also added how it was tough when he broke up with his first girlfriend, Bella, who had featured in his videos for around 18 months. Looking back, he is fairly candid about the fact it was hard.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He said: \"It was so not fun because my whole comment section was making fun of me, and I was actually kind of upset about it. I was like, ‘Guys, stop please, stop’, but they didn’t obviously. And after about three months when I was comfortable talking about the relationship and stuff like that, then it became really funny.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\"I actually feel bad for my ex-girlfriend. We still talk, but one of the running jokes on my channel is just mentioning Bella. In fact, when I came on this trip and I told everyone I was going to Ukraine, they said, ‘Oh Bella’s in Ukraine, that’s cool’.\"</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Major high points</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, while there have been harder times, there have certainly been many high points that MMG has got to enjoy across recent years.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He revealed how probably the coolest thing to have happened so far was being invited by the Dallas Cowboys to watch a game in a suite before going out onto the field afterwards. Dreams came true that day, with MMG outlining: \"It was just so incredible because, when I was a kid, you would go to these games, and you so badly wanted to go out on the field and meet the players, and it was something that I was invited to do.\"</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, his interest in sports goes beyond just NFL, and while he loves WWE – his stage name would be Pappa Meegs, fact fans - he has also had some great opportunities in the world of basketball too. Asked how well he thinks he would do in the women’s NBA, he revealed how he once played one-v-one against a female division-one collegiate basketball player from Central Michigan. The result? He explained: \"I lost. It was 8 to 11, okay, so I bet you if I got 15 minutes in the woman’s NBA, I could score 4 points.\"</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Discussing the men’s game, MMG admits he would be \"terrified\" of playing but revealed he holds a proud record on NBA courts.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He explained: \"One time I was at Detroit Pistons Stadium and they let a fan shoot a 3-point shot. I got to shoot it, and I was in 8th grade, this was totally random, and I one hundred percent made it. So, as for all the shots that I’ve made on an NBA court, I’m one-for-one, one hundred percent. That’s all I’m gonna say. I’m not bragging – but I might be bragging.\"</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Love what you do</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Moving the topic of conversation on from sports to video games, we know that MMG is a big fan of <a href=\"/en/game/raid-shadow-legends/\">Raid: Shadow Legends</a>, but we wondered which other titles he regards as absolutely essential? Faced with the conundrum of picking just two games to take onto a desert island, he opted for Elder Scrolls Oblivion and Skyrim – and even revealed he has probably logged more hours on them than on Madden.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But while his love for Elder Scrolls runs deep, does MMG ultimately feel the same about YouTube and, more importantly, does he see it as a career? While he admits that he never has, he accepts that his thinking has changed as time has gone by.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He said: \"This is so sad to say, but I just figured it would kind of fizzle, you know. Like, it was super fun to play video games online and, as I got into college, I figured one of these years it just won’t be worth my time. I guess…I’m going to keep doing this until I no longer love doing it.\"</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Finally, does MMG have any advice for younger fans who want to replicate this success and reach the free Chick-fil-A sauce level of fame or beyond?</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\"My number one piece of advice is you should only be doing something like this if it’s something you’re passionate about,\" he outlines.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\"Find something you love and consistently upload quality content that you are proud of, and if it doesn’t do well, it doesn’t do well, but you love what you are doing anyway, so it’s cool by you.\"</p>\n","date":"2/5/2020"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2020/posts/week_7/influencers/01.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13334"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/youtube-star-d-of-the-gaming-channel-node/"},"strings":{"title":"From Gamer to Action Hero: YouTube Star D on ‘Living Every 15-Year-Old Kid’s Dream’","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"420000","description":"<p dir=\"ltr\">For many of us, the idea of talking about our most exciting day at work would probably not be something to look forward to.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">After all, you would probably end up speaking at length about that time you over-ate during a bake sale, or even that ill-fated moment when someone tried to pull a birthday prank on the boss.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For YouTube star D, who's real name is Daniel Kim of <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCI4Wh0EQPjGx2jJLjmTsFBQ\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">the gaming channel Node</a>, the question is also a tough one – but simply because he has experienced too many crazy days to count in recent years.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Sitting in <a href=\"https://company.plarium.com/en/studio/ukraine-kharkiv/\">our Kharkiv studio in the Ukraine</a>, the world-famous influencer, and one of the key minds behind the renowned Node channel, contemplated the question for a moment before opting for the time his team chose to recreate the horror movie classic Friday 13th in real-life.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\"So, we rented this cabin, and we had someone dressed as Jason, and we had all these kind of things you had to find to escape the house\", he explained. \"It was really intense and really, really fun – and actually very terrifying.\"</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/WPiTPmzrs-I?start=68\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Top content creation</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Such experiences have become part and parcel of D’s life during his work with Node, which, at the time of writing, has more than three million subscribers across the globe. The YouTuber – whose real name is, in fact, Daniel Kim – has played a key role in bringing some of the channel’s most famous content to life, drawing on his own experience with the platform which stretches back almost a decade.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He recalled how his first year of working on YouTube was for a \"random start-up company\", but he quickly realized that the space could offer him an opportunity to effectively combine his deep and long-standing love of video gaming with his time learning all about film-making at school.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Comparing the idea of making films to his experiences of working on YouTube, he outlined: \"Making films is really expensive. It takes a lot of time with a production crew, actors, a script, all of that for it to mean anything and ever get finished. Like, sometimes we’ll film a project, and it will never get done, and all that work you put into it never sees the light of day.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\"But YouTube, if you have an idea and you can execute it, then you can just start small and work your way up, and as long as you keep doing it, your videos get better and better.\"</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">A dream come true</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Being a huge video gaming fan, working on Node has essentially been a dream come true for D. As well as bringing movie scenarios to life, the channel is of course equally well-known for adapting different gaming experiences for the real world too.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Probably one of the most notable examples of its work was the PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Airsoft video released back in August 2018, which saw the team go to great lengths to painstakingly recreate the excitement of the playing the game in a real-life setting. Talking about the experience, D outlined how much work and effort went into the video's production, but also readily admitted: \"We get to live out every 15-year-old kid’s dream!\"</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He explained that the starting point of the project was to get all the weaponry, costumes, and personnel together, with that period of pre-production taking somewhere in the region of two weeks. Following that, it was a case of finding and securing a location, before then getting down to the actual filming. While the latter took around four hours, D recalled how the day of shooting was both fun and also incredibly tiring.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\"In the game, you can sprint infinitely, but in real life, you can’t, so you’re exhausted by the end of the first game\", he revealed. \"Then editing takes a lot of time, so that video probably took about five days of editing to do because we did muscle flashes, we did v-effects, we did a ton of stuff for it. All-in-all it probably took about three weeks total time to produce, shoot, and edit, but it was totally worth it because it was fun\".</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img alt=\"YouTube star D of the gaming channel Node\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/company/Blog/Articles/2020/february/influencers/4.jpg\" style=\"width: 1024px; height: 720px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">The creative process</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But just how do D and the Node team come up with, and then develop, the idea of creating such an impressive video like the PUBG Airsoft game, or even the terrifying Friday 13th experience?</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Discussing the team’s creative process, he outlined how they tend to draw inspiration from YouTube comments they receive, and also from simply seeing movies that they would love to have a go at making themselves. He added that there are a couple of fundamental questions that drive how they go about their work – what can we do that we haven’t done before and that no one else has done before?</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Speaking about the current inspirations that he keeps turning to in his videos, D admits that he has recently been really focussed on action movies, and added that said focus allows him to indulge one of his life-long dreams.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He said: \"I kind of feel blessed to have a job where I can do that. I’ve always wanted to try to dodge bullets in real life, so let’s spend two days trying to do that.\"</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">A day in the life</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Of course, not every day can involve strapping on airsoft equipment and living the life of a fully-fledged action hero, so what does a usual day in the life of a YouTube superstar look like? After a quick chat with D, it is clear to see how much effort and application he puts into both his work with Node and developing his personal profile.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The day begins at 9am, he tells us, and breakfast is skipped entirely so his eight-and-a-half hour working day can begin. That could include anything from shooting and editing to brainstorming, while that is then followed by a further four hours of working on his personal channel.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He revealed: \"I work pretty much two full-time jobs and then try to find time to hang-out with my girlfriend somewhere in there. Then on the weekends, I go out and party as hard as I can because I work so much during the week.\"</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">His gaming favorites</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">With such a hectic schedule, you would be forgiven for thinking that D probably doesn’t have a huge amount of time to sit back and relax with gaming. However, he always makes sure he has an opportunity to play a few titles and even revealed some of his current favorites to us in our chat.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He is quick to stress that <a href=\"/en/game/raid-shadow-legends/\">Raid: Shadow Legends</a> is a game he undoubtedly has plenty of time for, while he also loves Apex Legends and the brutal medieval combat of Mordhau too. Our conversation then took us on to the issue of FPS games and whether they have a future on mobile. While he said PUBG Mobile was \"pretty good\", he felt mobile FPS games tended to be a \"step down\" in terms of controls when compared to console titles. However, he did go on to suggest that it was very possible things may improve in the coming years.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He added: \"Maybe, although if you are playing first-person shooters, like, you shouldn’t be doing it on mobile. You should be playing Raid: Shadow Legends instead because that’s a better use of your time. I can tell you that.\"</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Words of wisdom</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Before we wrapped up our interview with D, we knew there was one more question we simply had to ask prior to him leaving the studio – with so many people looking to get involved in YouTube and content creation these days, does he have any words of wisdom for some of his younger fans?</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One step he definitely recommends is to take the time to study film-making. D developed his interest in the area from an early age and was learning about it from middle school. He told us that the classes he took helped to ensure he had an insight into a host of key issues; like how to achieve a quality standard of lighting, how to record good sound, and what, ultimately, looks right on the screen.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He added: \"I definitely recommend just grabbing a camera, and go with your friends and film something, and be really critical of your work.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\"If you watch something you make and it doesn’t impress you or it’s not something that you actually want to watch, then it’s probably not very good. So, always improve and definitely hone your craft.\"</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It is undoubtedly useful advice to consider if you’re someone who is looking to follow D’s extraordinary lead and make your days at work a little more exciting than the norm.</p>\n","date":"2/5/2020"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2020/posts/week_7/influencers/07.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13333"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/video-game-benefits/"},"strings":{"title":"What Are the Benefits of Video Games?","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"240000","description":"<p dir=\"ltr\">As a video game player, you interact with each fictional world, often derived from myths and legends, through avatars created by your tastes and desires. In this post we will discuss how the main benefits of video games include:</p>\n\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n\t<li>Heightened creativity</li>\n\t<li>Improved social skills</li>\n\t<li>Being more pro-active</li>\n\t<li>Helping self-expression</li>\n\t<li>Improved mood</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">You choose to become someone else. A character’s design, also dependent on the archetypes provided by the developer, reflects the player. But what happens when you start comparing your <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPG</a> avatar with yourself?</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Sometimes, this is how gamers become philosophers; you pose interesting questions, asking if we’re all actually Sims, while the line between games and reality becomes thinner. Not only that, but some of the things you admire in your god-like character suddenly seem possible and attractive.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One benefit is that gamers’ good experiences in video games inspire them to upgrade their real lives. Some RPG plots also engage your opinions and morals like any good book. Platforms like <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmorpg-games/\">MMORPGs</a> are perfect social environments to improve communication skills.</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Surprising Benefits of Playing Video Games</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To begin with, some RPGs allow creating your own adventures. You can build a little world, populate it with NPCs and tell a story, like a jaunt through mythical Atlantis but as you imagined it. You become a guide and entertainer for players who visit. If you’re actually a player in the story, you have to make smart, decisive moves based on your character's strengths, weaknesses and other party members.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In <a href=\"/en/games/genre/multiplayer-games/\">multiplayer</a> mode, the party is made up of characters driven by real people like you, so good communication is important. Whether player or storyteller, role-playing promotes introspection and comparison with heroic archetypes. This helps pinpoint <strong>personal </strong>areas you want to improve.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The rewarding experience of RPGs isn't to be underestimated either. Their stories have superior visuals, complex interaction and are full of fantastic mythological influences, such as Celtic, Egyptian, Scandinavian, and Asian - hooks that <strong>engage and expand</strong> gamers’ mental and emotional world. Psychological well-being can then be worked on by making use of this creative stimulation. Check out more benefits of video games in our list below:</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Social Skills</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">What's interesting about online and <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mobile-games/\">mobile gaming</a> is that users made these platforms popular because they allow massive interaction with other people. So, RPG designers stepped up with the best social and competitive video games modern technology can provide.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The psychological and social benefits of these video games aren’t just in the millions of character-building options that they provide, or the gameplay possibilities that can make each gamers’ experience unique - it’s in the ways such elements make you <strong>confident and encourage you to communicate.</strong></p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Taking Action</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Taking on the role and personality of a video game character is exciting. You almost always develop your skills, tactics and appearance from scratch. Every step towards becoming the walking battering ram of your dreams is filled with action and pride. As a result, role-playing adventures can get you hyped and out of that gaming chair. In fact, one very popular benefit of video games is players inspired by their heroes who actively imitate them. Spotting Dragonborns at Viking-themed parties or LARP events never gets old!</p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Self-Expression</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Gamers can channel their interests in fashion, types of magic or mythological figures into personalizing their RPG champions. Do you love Chinese culture, pandas and druids? <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_of_Warcraft\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">You could experience World of Warcraft</a> as a wise but lethal Pandaren shaman. And the creativity put into shaping your character reinforces any positive attitude.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Believe it or not, video games are an art form. Both players and developers express themselves through them. And artistic activities are beyond a doubt one of the best ways to heal a psyche. Having other MMORPG users appreciate your character goes a long way too.</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">A Better Mood can be Atrributed to Video Games</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">So far, we’ve established that some of the benefits of playing video games is the ability to make you more skillful, active, social and creative. But they’re also great for exercising your <strong>mental and physical talents.</strong></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Reduced stress, better reflexes, coordination and surgical precision are all benefits of gaming. It may still be difficult to become a fireball-wielding mage or a demi-god who crushes foes with a wink, but seeing your spirit and physical presence evolve into that of your Spartan or intergalactic warrior is a reward in itself. At the end of the day, reaching that potential is as simple as taking that urge the game gave you and turning it into action.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">What legendary or historical sources developers use to bring an RPG to your screen matters less than how you <em>respond </em>to it. There isn’t much this genre of video game can’t help improve as long as you recognize its benefits and make something of them.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Distribute your time between playing your favorite title and practicing the skills you’ve earned beyond the four walls of your room. Above all, enjoy the emotional boost of discovering just how many like-minded gamers are actually out there!</p>\n","date":"1/12/2020"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_16/cross-platform-1.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13331"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/boost-your-team-building-skills/"},"strings":{"title":"RPG Skills: Can Games Help You Level Up in Life?","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p dir=\"ltr\">Video gaming wasn’t always the mainstream pastime that it is today. Indeed, through the decades, the concept has been targeted with criticism, including the idea that it could ultimately be bad for your health.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, there is an ever-growing school of thought that video gaming can be good for you. As IDTech.com explains, video games offer a range of benefits, including the potential to increase brainpower.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Could it be that certain forms of gaming - namely RPGs - are actually more beneficial than others?</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In this article, you can read on to discover common <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPG</a> skills and how they could help you in everyday life.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, before an RPG skills list is compiled, along with the potential benefits, it is important to look at why these types of <a href=\"/en/games/\">games</a> are great for the brain. </p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Why RPGs and RPG Skills?</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Past concerns around gaming may have developed for the simple fact that it was once an isolated pastime. Gamers often hid away in bedrooms to tackle predominantly single-player experiences.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Nowadays, everything has changed, and much of that can be linked to the vast number of multiplayer games and, in particular, role-playing games RPGs.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The general aim of all RPGs is to assume a role within a world and/or team. You then work alongside others in the game, for example as part of a <a href=\"/en/blog/be-a-clan-leader/\">clan</a>, and carry out tasks.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Thus, you can already start to see how RPG skills develop in unison with others, rather than in isolation. You have to be a skilled player in your own right but also someone that can work as part of a team. </p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">The RPG Skills List</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">RPGs come in many forms, and there is a strong argument to say that this means players have to face a host of new challenges and develop skills along the way.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Some of the common RPG skills you’ll have to master are:</p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Leadership</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While collaboration is vital in cooperative play, there will still be times when you have to show leadership and make important decisions that can affect the whole group.</p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Being a specialist</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In team-based RPGs, gamers often have to take up specific functions – like attack, defense, and supporting roles.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Focusing on these tasks is one of the important RPG skills you have to master. In essence, you have to do your best for the greater good of the team.</p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Multi-tasking</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">On the flip side, there will also be moments when you need to juggle several tasks at once.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Therefore, one of the most important RPG skills you’ll need to master is being able to work individually to your own strengths while also helping with other group-related tasks. </p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Problem Solving RPG Skills</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">At their core, all RPGs are problem-solving games. Learning to think logically and laterally is the key to success. But, as it is with all RPG skills, your thoughts need to include the self and the group.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A solution to a problem may work for you as an individual player but not the group as a whole. Therefore, you have to balance your own needs with the needs of those around you. </p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Can RPG Skills Be Used Outside of Gaming?</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em><strong>Yes!</strong></em> Research seems to suggest that it’s possible to apply the RPG skills we’ve listed to everyday life.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For example, researchers at Missouri S&T surveyed almost 300 online RPG players who enjoyed gaming for eight hours a week, but also worked 38 hours a week.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">They found that those who tended to be successful RPGs, using skills such as problem-solving, multi-tasking, and teamwork, were more successful in the workplace. </p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">RPG Skills & Personality Traits</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The research on RPG skills can also be linked to a well-established concept in psychology known as <strong>the Big Five personality traits</strong>.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Originally proposed by Ernest Tupes and Raymond Christal but refined over the years, the following traits are used to, broadly, define human personality.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In turn, they’re used by human resources departments to assess the suitability of people for specific jobs:</p>\n\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n\t<li>Conscientiousness – People with a high degree of conscientiousness are reliable, prompt, and methodical. </li>\n\t<li>Agreeableness - People with a high degree of agreeableness are sympathetic, friendly, and cooperative. </li>\n\t<li>Openness - People with a high degree of openness are more willing to learn new skills and have a variety of interests/skills.</li>\n\t<li>Neuroticism - People with a high degree of neuroticism can be tense and prone to mood swings. People with low neuroticism are more emotionally stable. </li>\n\t<li>Extraversion - People with a high degree of extraversion are engaging, energetic, talkative, and thrive off social interactions. </li>\n</ul>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When you combine the research in RPG skills and their application in the workplace with the above personality traits, you can start to create links.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For example, when returning to the RPG skills list, teamwork and multi-tasking are crucial in these games.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Therefore, people with high levels of conscientiousness and agreeableness will thrive in RPGs. </p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Similarly, you need someone that’s fairly open and extravert in your team.</p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Diversity in RPG Skills</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, as mentioned before, RPG skills are diverse in the sense that there’s a place for everyone.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">So, a person with high levels of neuroticism would still be useful on a team because they could bring a serious, focused approach to things.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Therefore, it’s less about finding people with certain traits and saying they’d be great RPG players, and more about finding ways to harness everyone’s skills.  </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">The RPG Skills List Applies to Life</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The world of video gaming has changed so much in recent years.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Although RPGs offer exciting action in a fantastical environment, they still require gamers to make use of, and develop, skills that can be used in the real world.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Whether it’s learning to manage multiple tasks while performing individual duties or it’s taking charge of a team, the RPG skills list is one that applies to more than gaming.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Therefore, the next time someone tells you that gaming is no good for your brain, use your RPG skills to prove them wrong.</p>\n","date":"1/6/2020"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_22/VKN_Blog-images---Vikings-weapons.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13330"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/mythological-rpg-fantasy-game-characters/"},"strings":{"title":"What Are the Main Types of Fantasy & RPG Characters?","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p dir=\"ltr\">Fantasy characters and races aren't only used for the story, in fact, one of their many functions is to inform how players engage with game systems.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">With this in mind, it's interesting to explore some of the most popular mythological fantasy <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">Role-Playing Game (RPG)</a> characters. What makes these characters special, and how do video games represent them? Read on to find out!</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h3>In this post we will cover:</h3>\n\n<ol>\n\t<li>Orcs</li>\n\t<li>Elves</li>\n\t<li>Giants</li>\n\t<li>Dwarves</li>\n\t<li>Skin-Walkers</li>\n\t<li>Necromancers</li>\n\t<li>The Undead</li>\n\t<li>Witches</li>\n\t<li>Dragons</li>\n\t<li>Noble Humans</li>\n</ol>\n\n<h2>1. Orcs</h2>\n\n<p>Orcs have been prevalent fantasy characters within many mythologies throughout human history. Roman naturalist, Pliny the Elder, described orcs as an enormous mass of flesh armed with teeth. In a more modern context, it was Tolkien who most influenced their depictions through his famed high fantasy adventure series.</p>\n\n<p>Amongst the fantasy characters available, Orcs are mostly used as high-strength and low-intelligence brutes of RPG characters. This makes them well-suited to tank or damage rolls, where they take the front lines to fight in a melee. That said, some Orc leaders buck the trend. These standouts can become thoughtful leaders and adept mages, though warriors are still the most common orc roles.</p>\n\n<h2>2. Elves</h2>\n\n<p>It’s strange to think of fantasy RPG characters, but many people associate elves with the fabled creatures that make presents at the North Pole. For gamers, elves often represent a near opposite of their Santa-based counterparts when it comes to fantasy characters.</p>\n\n<p>Game elves are usually tall, beautiful beings that are both intelligent and in touch with magic and nature.</p>\n\n<p>Most Elves in gaming dedicate themselves to long-distance combat. Here they use bows as archers, and magic as mages to support the stronger physical forms of other fantasy characters. In more direct combat, Elves can also take the form of assassins. Elves on this path use daggers in a fighting style that emphasizes agility and quick strikes over brute force alone.</p>\n\n<h2>3. Giants</h2>\n\n<p>Across the world of mythologies, giants range from destructive to wise, aggressive to calm. They take so many forms in so many stories that a fantasy RPG can do almost whatever they want with the creature.</p>\n\n<p>In <a href=\"/en/games/\">video games</a>, implementing Giants in games with other fantasy characters can be problematic due to their size. For this reason, they are often relegated to support as summon attacks, or NPCs in areas where size isn't a concern.</p>\n\n<p>When they are playable, their raw strength and Health Points (HP) make them a valuable tank or warrior unit, even in small numbers.</p>\n\n<h2>4. Dwarves</h2>\n\n<p>While almost always diminutive and mountain-dwelling, dwarves also take multiple forms throughout mythology. Probably the most recognized depiction is from Germanic mythology. As fantasy characters, they are expert miners, smithies, crafters, and boast tremendous wisdom.</p>\n\n<p>As playable fantasy characters, Dwarves usually have high stamina and HP, making them great as tank fantasy characters. They might not have the strength of orcs or the HP of giants, but their tenacity in combat makes them indispensable. Just don't challenge them to drinking contests.</p>\n\n<h2>5. Skin-Walkers</h2>\n\n<p>Skin-walker is a term given to humans who can shape-shift into, or possess, animals, the most famous of which is the werewolf. Noted in folklore all over the world, skin-walkers reflect the human fear of animal instincts.</p>\n\n<p>While rare in gaming, skin-walkers usually have some unique attributes which can give them a serious edge. Often this involves changing form in direct combat. Such surprises can turn them from puny humans into powerful Damage Per Second (DPS) warrior classes who can quickly take less-prepared foes by surprise.</p>\n\n<h2>6. Necromancers</h2>\n\n<p>Necromancers are users of dark and evil magic who can summon and control the dead in spirit or by raising corpses. Recognized since the ancient Greek Homer penned the epic poem, The Odyssey, Necromancer morality is always in question.</p>\n\n<p>A favorite with fantasy RPG characters and series, necromancers often act as indirect DPS magic classes supported by powerful spells.</p>\n\n<p>Though they can be powerful fighters in their own rights, necromancers set themselves apart by summoning hordes of skeletons, golems, or other mythological creatures to fight for them.</p>\n\n<h2>7. The Undead</h2>\n\n<p>The undead fantasy characters of RPG titles are often the minions of dark and powerful beings. Yet, some of the best video game characters that come under the undead category aren’t mindless minions.</p>\n\n<p>Ingame, undead are usually balanced by the dichotomy of their physiology.</p>\n\n<p>Mostly used as front-line fighters, an undead character might not have the highest health or damage, but their reanimated bodies can often resist pain or other negative status effects. After all, creatures don't have to worry about drowning if they don't have lungs.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">8. Witches</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Featured in folklore across Europe and North America, the average witches are creatures who can be as enticing as they are dangerous. Often depicted as women, they are generally evil beings or those that have been cast out by society.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Powered by dark magic, witches are usually demonized as unnaturally powerful. Witches are complex as fantasy characters, sometimes existing as fantasy characters, other times acting as an archetype adopted by other fantasy characters.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bolstered by magic, witches can act as healers and support through spells and potions, fling magic attacks from afar, or even boost their physical abilities in direct combat. This can give them a lot of flexibility in roles like DPS spellcasters, though they rarely act as tanks.</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">9. Dragons</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Dragons take many different forms in mythology and are common across European and Asian mythos. While Asian dragons tend to be more serpentine than most European depictions, they all spawn from humanity’s innate fear of snakes and similar dangerous reptiles.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Like giants, dragons are difficult to implement as playable RPG characters due to their size. When they do appear, they can often become hybrids of DPS and tank units, relying on flight and fire to give their playstyle flexibility. Acting as both melee fighters and spellcasters, dragons are power companions in and out of combat.</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">10. Noble Humans</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Creatures of myth often go hand-in-hand with a noble human tasked with killing them. From ancient Greek mythology to the tales of the middle-ages, great beasts of myth almost always meet their demise at the hands of a noble, often male, hero.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When playable as characters, humans are often the most flexible of all RPG characters. As a jack of all trades and master of none, they can fit into any of the holy trinity fantasy characters equally well.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While they might not have the special abilities of the more dedicated fantasy characters, their capacity for mixing strengths can give them unique combinations of skills that others might lack.</p>\n","date":"1/6/2020"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2016/3/blog_illustration_09.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13329"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/what-makes-a-game-an-rgp/"},"strings":{"title":"A Look at RPG Games Online: What Makes a Game an RPG?","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p><a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPGs</a> are one of the longest standing and most popular genres available. Today, millions of players enjoy RPG games online, and offline RPG games also draw significant attention.</p>\n\n<p>So what exactly are RPG games, and what makes RPGs so popular?</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-are-rpg-games?\">What are RPG Games?</h2>\n\n<p>RPG stands for role-playing game. These are games which tend to be heavily story-based and have a player taking a specific part, or role.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-makes-a-game-an-rpg?\">What Makes a Game an RPG?</h2>\n\n<p>In general terms, a game is an RPG if your team or character follows an overarching quest. Playing this quest typically involves leveling up, fighting enemies, and navigating important menu systems.</p>\n\n<p>RPG games are a wide genre covering a huge range of themes, which can make them hard to define. A big part of this comes from the fact that many types of games are now incorporating RPG elements.<br />\nThis is done because RPG games give a strong emphasis on progression. A longer game aids the feeling of accomplishment, which can make you feel more attached to a character or team.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-a-traditional-rpg-game?\">What is a traditional RPG game?</h2>\n\n<p>The more traditional games in this genre are fantasy RPG games. These are illustrated by early Nintendo Entertainment System series such as Final Fantasy or Dragon Warrior. With these games, you fight an overwhelming evil force together with your party. Sometimes you control one main character within this party, other times you are given the entire party to follow.</p>\n\n<p>In these early games, combat is usually turn-based, randomly encountered, and placed on a separate field. Players select which moves to take from menus, including a range of physical, ranged, healing, and magical abilities. Once you win a battle, you are given experience and loot drops, and then brought back to the world map or dungeon screen.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-most-popular-rpg-games-in-real-life?\">What are the Most Popular RPG Games in Real Life?</h2>\n\n<p>Real-life RPGs are most commonly illustrated by tabletop games such as Dungeons and Dragons. This is a longstanding multiplayer RPG series dating back to 1974. Within this game, you use dice rolls and character statistic sheets to decide player guided outcomes.</p>\n\n<p>Just as with video games, players within real-life RPGs earn gear, level up, and become more powerful over time. Every few years these systems are overhauled, such as the D&D 5th Edition, which was released in 2014.<br />\nThere is currently a wide range of different <a href=\"/en/games/category/popular-games/\">popular tabletop RPG games</a> available. These include:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Dungeons and Dragons (all editions)</li>\n\t<li>Shadowrun</li>\n\t<li>Call of Cthulhu</li>\n\t<li>Vampire: The Masquerade</li>\n\t<li>Star Wars</li>\n\t<li>Pathfinder</li>\n\t<li>Warhammer</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>These aren’t just tied to the idea of mages and magic. Some, like Shadowrun, involve cyberpunk. Others, like Call of Cthulhu and Vampire: The Masquerade take a more horrific aesthetic. There are even those which abandon the tabletop altogether, instead taking part in costume and in a more active manner. These are called LARPs.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-a-larp?\">What is a LARP?</h2>\n\n<p>LARP stands for Live Action Role-Play. Players of these games meet in person in private or public places to add more live-action to their role-play experiences. This typically involves costumes, mock combat, and long periods of staying in character.<br />\nAs with tabletop games, these can cover many different subgenres. Classic LARP games revolve around fantasy, romance, and even real history.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"how-varied-are-new-rpg-games?\">How Varied are New RPG Games?</h2>\n\n<p>As many forms of gaming adopt RPG mechanics or inspiration, the genre has grown and evolved. If you want to play an RPG in 2019 you could find many different subgenre hybrids, including the following:</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"action-rpgs\">Action RPGs</h3>\n\n<p>These are games with combat which is more focused on real-time action. <a href=\"/en/games/genre/action-games/\">In an action RPG</a>, you might control your character's movement and attacks whenever in combat. Outside of combat, you could still level up, change and equip skills, and otherwise, rely on in-depth menu systems.</p>\n\n<p>These are usually played in a third-person perspective.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"collectible-rpgs\">Collectible RPGs</h3>\n\n<p>Collectible RPGs are a form rapidly gaining steam as RPG mobile games, though they have existed long before smartphones. Pokemon was a strong early example of this, as collecting a powering up a team was a huge part of the game. In more recent terms, many games have found massive success on the mobile front. These focus on building yourself a powerful small team, improving their gear, and fighting PVP and PVE battles.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"What makes a game an RPG?\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week49/raid-game-team.jpg \" style=\"width: 600px; height: 400px;\" /></p>\n\n<h3 id=\"tactical-rpgs\">Tactical RPGs</h3>\n\n<p>Tactical RPGs tend to present a top-down or isometric perspective within battles. Here, you will need to move your characters around certain tiles or areas to gain a positional advantage. These usually give players a set amount of moves in a round, in a turn-based fashion.</p>\n\n<p>These are just a few of the current popular RPG subgenres available. Often these borrow heavily from each other, which can make it difficult to ascribe them to just one subtype. Sometimes it can be best to consider RPG games as many genres together. This can be confusing, but it can also be the only way categorize them accurately.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-most-popular-rpg-video-games?\">What are the Most Popular RPG Video Games?</h2>\n\n<p>The most popular RPG video games at this time include The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Skyrim, and World of Warcraft. These can be difficult to ascribe to one particular genre. Generally, we take the most central mechanics when labeling them.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"old-school-rpgs\">Old-school RPGs</h3>\n\n<p>Despite their modern trappings, games like Persona 5 and Skyrim are still heavily steeped in classical RPG standards. Both of these involve going on large quests, slaying demons and monsters, and facing seemingly impossible odds.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"mmorpgs\">MMORPGs</h3>\n\n<p>Standing for Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games, MMORPGs have been very popular since the early internet. World of Warcraft has been the most popular of these for over a decade, but it is not the only successful game. Final Fantasy 14, despite a rocky start, also now boasts over a million active subscriptions.</p>\n\n<p>MMORTS' are another sub-genre that take the best features from MMORPGs and apply them to a strategic setting in order to appeal to a different audience with Vikings: War of Clans being a well-known example of this.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"action-rpgs\">Action RPGs</h3>\n\n<p>Action RPGs have been finding a lot of success recently, and are still on the rise. Looking at RPG 2019 releases, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice has been immensely popular, despite its notable difficulty. Longtime RPG fans are also looking forward to the Final Fantasy 7 remake, which is slated for release in 2020. This marks one of the more obvious instances of action RPG evolution, as the original Final Fantasy 7 was a traditional Japanese RPG.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-does-the-future-of-rpg-games-look-like?\">What Does the Future of RPG Games Look Like?</h2>\n\n<p>With more games borrowing more from RPG’s every year, we have to wonder what the future will look like.

Many titles also feature mini-game options to make the experience more rounded.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2>When did Racing Games Start?</h2>\n\n<p>Not many sports are as thrilling and competitive as racing, so it is unsurprising that racing games have been popular in video gaming since the very beginning. </p>\n\n<p>Released all the way back in 1974, Gran Trak 10 by Atari is widely regarded by experts as the first example of a racing video game. </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"The possibilities of Racing MMOs could be mindboggling\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/21_Money.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>In the decades since, racing games have taken on many forms with some focusing on more action-packed elements and others attempting to create an authentic, realistic simulation of driving specific cars. </p>\n\n<p>However, whether it is Need for Speed, F1 or Gran Turismo, they all have one thing in common – exciting racing action.</p>\n\n<p>The omnipresence of the internet has opened up new possibilities in terms of <a href=\"/en/games/genre/multiplayer-games/\">multiplayer</a> options for racing, giving players the chance to challenge themselves against top drivers from across the world. </p>\n\n<p>Furthermore, it has led to the creation of open-world racing games, where there is fun to be had away from the track, across a wide variety of terrains.</p>\n\n<h2>How can you play MMO racing games?</h2>\n\n<p>Online racing games are available across a range of platforms from consoles to <a href=\"/en/games/platform/pc-games/\">PC</a> and <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mobile-games/\">mobile</a>, but the same rules tend to apply to playing them. To get involved in the action, you need to:</p>\n\n<ol>\n\t<li>Select the game you want to play</li>\n\t<li>Download the app or visit the website</li>\n\t<li>Register your personal details</li>\n\t<li>Get racing!</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>MMO racing titles feature an array of payment models including subscriptions, but it is also common to find free racing games, too. </p>\n\n<p>Be aware though that these often follow the free-to-play structure, which means that while you get initial access for no cost, you may have to spend money to boost your gameplay or make changes to your vehicle.</p>\n\n<h2>What are the top MMO racing games?</h2>\n\n<p>A number of exciting MMO racing games have come and gone down the years. For example, EA brought the Need for Speed franchise into this area with Need for Speed World, although the Microsoft Windows title was only in operation from 2010 to 2015.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMO Racing is exciting!\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week36/images/30.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" title=\"MMO Race Car Driver\" /></p>\n\n<p>Other notable MMO open world racing games include the TrackMania series, with Ubisoft claiming its TrackMania Forever title is the most popular online racing game for PC in history, with more than 16 million registered drivers. </p>\n\n<p>Another major name in this area is iRacing, a subscription-based game endorsed by professional drivers that offers players the chance to enjoy a range of events and realistic driving experiences in a number of vehicles.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>Are there MMO racing eSports? </h2>\n\n<p>While the world of eSports tends to be dominated by other forms of MMO gaming like <a href=\"/en/blog/moba-games-guide/\">MOBA</a> titles such as League of Legends, MMO racing titles are increasingly getting a foothold in the ever-growing field of competitive spectator gaming.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Racing MMos as a part of eSports\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/19_Strong.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>The iRacing eSports Network on YouTube, for example, broadcasts a range of races featuring some of the best talent involved in the game, while the iRacing eSports World Championships feature six series and a total cash prize pool of $100,000. </p>\n\n<p>It's clear that iRacing is, at least for now, the focus when it comes to MMO racing eSports.</p>\n\n<p>While that level of prize money may mean MMO racing lags behind some of the bigger eSports in a financial sense, the genre is more than a match when it comes to adrenalin-fuelled excitement.</p>\n\n<h2>Going mobile with your MMO racing</h2>\n\n<p>MMO gaming is often associated with PCs - yet, as we touched upon earlier, MMO racing can be enjoyed across a range of platforms.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMO racing games on mobile\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week36/images/31.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" title=\"Mobile racing\" /></p>\n\n<p>Open world racing games have grown on smartphone and tablets, as the technological capabilities of the devices evolve. A notable example is Hutch Games’ Race Kings title, which is particularly popular on both iOS and Android, offering gamers the chance to participate in live events against opponents matched to meet their skill level.</p>\n\n<h2>What is the future of MMO racing?</h2>\n\n<p>All of the signs point towards virtual reality becoming the next big thing in MMO racing.</p>\n\n<p>VR is an area that gaming as a whole is exploring more and more and it is already making an impact on racing games in general. </p>\n\n<p>Titles like Project Cars 2 and Assetto Corsa now feature virtual reality modes which mean players have the chance to feel like they are well and truly behind the wheel of the vehicles they are driving.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Tired MMO gamer\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/7_Gamer.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>In addition, with emerging titles like Orbus VR bringing a virtual reality twist to fantasy MMO gaming, it seems like it is only a matter of time until MMO racing games take that step too.</p>\n\n<h2>Discover a whole new world with MMO racing</h2>\n\n<p>Racing is a sport which has always been a natural fit for gaming and it remains as popular as ever. Combining the genre with MMO elements has opened gamers up to a whole new world and given them a chance to compete against rivals across the globe.</p>\n\n<p>Whether you are an experienced racer or an MMO fan seeking a new challenge, online racing games can give you a chance to enjoy life in the fast lane.</p>\n","date":"9/3/2019"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/covers/general/5_b.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13318"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/youtube-gaming-channels/"},"strings":{"title":"Top YouTube Gaming Channels","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"720000","description":"<p>YouTube currently dominates social media, and maybe additional platforms in the near future.

Challenges, interviews and everyday life videos, this channel got the recipe right. The motivation of its creator, Matt Meagher, is not fame alone, but keeping his 1,900,000+ subscribers proud, happy and active.</p>\n\n<p>Generating an average of 200,000 views per day is no easy feat. MMG has achieved it through passion and hard work. The channel can only continue to thrive on YouTube and exceed its current estimated net worth of $600,000.<br />\nMMG states:</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMG is one of the top YouTube channels for gamers\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week36/photo/mmg1.JPG\" style=\"width: 907px; height: 540px;\" title=\"MMG\" /></p>\n\n<p><strong><em>\"I plan to just make my fans as happy as possible.

The franchise, which first appeared on <a href=\"/en/games/platform/pc-games/\">PC</a> and consoles in 1988, now counts over 30 games in its line-up and has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide.

His most popular video on the best Daedric weapons and armor at Level 1 has generated over 5.6 million views. Each of the next ranked videos have 3-4 million hits of their own.</p>\n\n<p>ESO stresses that you don't have to be a pro gamer to generate a large following:</p>\n\n<p><em><strong>\"I guess what makes me so confident about what I do is that I have an amazing community standing behind me that have supported me over seven years through thick and thin.

Mastering a title and educating other players is one thing. But <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/c/BufareteGaming/featured\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Bufarete</a>, like MMG, is further evidence that humor can be a powerful reason for subscribers to join and return. His brand and how he presents it, e.g. with his <a href=\"/en/resource/maker/gaming-logo-maker/\">gaming logo</a>, is also very important for his success. </p>\n\n<p>Bufarete describes his experience as a YouTuber as therapeutic, talking and joking about his life experiences:</p>\n\n<p><em><strong>\"While many people watch my videos for comedic purposes, I mostly use them as my personal therapy ha ha ha. I'm 100% myself and usually just tell stories about my normal life and try to find humor in daily occurrences my viewers can relate to.\"</strong></em></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Bufarete describes his experience as a YouTuber as therapeutic\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week36/photo/bufarete3.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 666px;\" title=\"Bufarete\" /></p>\n\n<p>It's true that video games can be beneficial. Studies, according to iD Tech, have found that gaming improves hand-eye coordination and cognitive skills. And Bufarete has already explained how the YouTube community can be an outlet for emotions, not to mention comedic talents. It’s a way to share excitement and frustration, as well as meet people from across the globe as passionate about games as you.</p>\n\n<p>Bufarete’s 86,720 total subscribers may be lower than the YouTubers already mentioned. But that doesn’t stop millions of viewers tuning in to watch him laugh his way through Clash Royale. His channel seems to provide the exact entertainment mobile gaming fans are looking for. </p>\n\n<p>Bufarete tells us about his plans:</p>\n\n<p><em><strong>\"Keep working hard! YouTube is a very fascinating and intriguing place, I've been doing it for many years and and I still don't comprehend their inner workings.

It's a safe assumption that <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">role-playing games</a> would not be one of the most popular genres today without the fun of the original Runescape. It helped move RPGs onto the multiplayer world and has now evolved into a title of legend.</p>\n\n<p>Thanks to its status and his creativity, Solo Mission has secured 62,047 subscribers and over 8.3 million views. It may have been over a decade since its first release, but gamers still enjoy nothing more than to explore Old School</p>\n\n<p>Runescape’s possibilities; antique and re-invented.</p>\n\n<p>Solo Mission has ambitious plans for the months ahead:</p>\n\n<p><em><strong>\"I aim to reach all the end game bosses in my current Old School Runescape series, and hopefully obtain some of the most powerful items in the game on my low level account.

Pro players also make a living by playing and streaming video games.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>There’s more to sharing gaming videos than financial gain, however.</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>It’s easier for casual players to find solutions or suggested purchases in a video than a forum.</li>\n\t<li>The entertainment value is higher than a movie’s unchanging scenario. Today’s best video games are designed to be replayed several times over with alternate choices and endings.</li>\n\t<li>Each of the gaming channels on YouTube has something new to offer – unique playthroughs, secrets, funny and intrepid gamers.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Gaming technologies and trends evolve, and so do their experts. Above are examples of creators whose personality, innovation and understanding of their industry have propelled them into the limelight. Their knowledge and ambitions in the management of their channels are valuable in terms of things to learn and look forward to. Keep a close eye on these YouTubers as they open up new horizons in video game experiences.</p>\n","date":"9/2/2019"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"","href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/covers/general/13_b.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13316"}}],"listArticles":[{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/tv-shows-video-games/"},"strings":{"title":"TV Shows Based on Video Games – The Ultimate Guide"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"What TV shows are based on video games?","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/tv-shows-games-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16286"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/top-casual-games/"},"strings":{"title":"10 of the Best Casual Games to Try in 2023"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"The top 10 casual games of 2023","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/casual-games-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16219"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/top-castle-games/"},"strings":{"title":"Five of the Best: Top Castle Games for 2023"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Check out the top Castle Games!","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/castle-games-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16214"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/windows-games-on-mac/"},"strings":{"title":"How to Play Windows Games on Mac: A Complete Guide"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"How to play Windows games on Mac","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/windows-games-mac-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16213"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/best-puzzle-games/"},"strings":{"title":"The Best Puzzle Games for Adults in 2023"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"The 15 best puzzle games to play in 2023!","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/puzzle-games-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16206"}}]},"components":{}}},{"name":"widget-articles-aside-promoted-game-v3","type":"widget-articles-aside-promoted-game-v3","model":{"links":{"url":"/en/plarium-play/download-user/?plid=885739&pxl=seo&appId=27","urlForGamePage":"/en/game/raid-shadow-legends/","googlePlayUrl":"https://app.appsflyer.com/com.plarium.raidlegends?pid=SEO&c=749089","appStoreUrl":"https://app.appsflyer.com/id1371565796?pid=SEO&c=749088&af_siteid=HomePage"},"strings":{"title":"RAID: Shadow Legends","subtitle":"Collect 700+ Champions & Fight For Glory","label":"Download","analyticsGameName":"raid"},"images":{"promoImg":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/plarium-play/games/Raid/promo.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"authGameTheme":"default","isRedirectDownload":"true"},"repeaters":{},"components":{}}},{"name":"widget-articles-subscribe-v3","type":"widget-articles-subscribe-v3","model":{"links":{},"strings":{"title":"Subscribe to the Blog","errorInvalid":"Invalid email address.
