Twitch emotes are an opportunity to help viewers feel engaged and as though they're part of a unified community.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>It doesn’t matter what kind of games you stream, custom Twitch emotes aligned with your channel’s theme are proven to drive engagement.</p>\n\n<p>If you’re completely new to the concept of Twitch emotes, you’ll be fascinated to learn that there's a whole new world of expressions, moods and poses to explore. Viewers can use these to interact with you and your fellow viewers in real-time.</p>\n\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Twitch Emotes help interact with others viewers\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/twitch-emotes-3.webp\" /></h2>\n\n<h2>The Two Types of Twitch Emotes</h2>\n\n<p>First and foremost, <strong>it's important to note that there are two types of emotes Twitch viewers will be familiar with</strong>, both of which can be used by streamers and viewers alike to express their feelings within the live chat box:</p>\n\n<h3>Global Emotes</h3>\n\n<p>Global Twitch emotes can be used by any user on the Twitch platform. They are the more generic emotes and expressions that would be relevant in almost any live gamer’s Twitch stream. We’re talking emotes like the :LUL: laughter emote or the :HeyGuys: greeting.</p>\n\n<p>None of the global emotes available to Twitch users are original to you or any channel, although they can come in handy if you want to quickly get a message across.</p>\n\n<h3>Custom Emotes</h3>\n\n<p>Custom-made Twitch emotes are some of the most in-demand animations and expressions on Twitch right now. As the platform’s popularity has soared in recent years, so too has the number of Twitch communities surrounding individual live streamers.</p>\n\n<p>Streamers can design Twitch animated emotes that incorporate a flavor of their channel, keeping everything consistently on-brand.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Express yourself more freely with Twitch Emotes for any occasion\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/twitch-emotes-2.webp\" /></p>\n\n<h2>What Are the Most Popular Twitch Emotes?</h2>\n\n<p>For any avid gamer, be it <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmorpg-games/\">MMORPGs</a> or <a href=\"/en/games/genre/casual-games/\">casual games</a> they're into, the best place to keep an eye on the most used Twitch emotes is StreamElements.</p>\n\n<p>Essentially, this portal monitors the usage of <em>all</em> Twitch animated emotes, which is particularly useful as there are trends that see emotes come in and out of vogue.</p>\n\n<p>For example, at the time of writing, the :forsenE: custom emote designed for Swedish video gamer <a href=\"https://www.twitch.tv/forsen\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Sebastian \"Forsen\" Fors</a>, is the most popular emote on the Twitch platform. It has been used over 8.5 billion times, according to StreamElements.</p>\n\n<p>This far outweighs the second and third most popular Twitch emotes - :homyLol: (6.9 billion times) and :triHard: (3.79 billion times).</p>\n\n<p>The main reason that :forsenE: remains the most popular emote is that Fors’ viewers regularly use the emote to spam rival gamer streams. It turns out to be hugely effective marketing for Fors, too!</p>\n\n<p>It's likely, however, that Fors' dominance won't remain constant and that another gamer will knock him off his spot within the foreseeable future. Such is the nature of competitive gaming.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Twitch Emotes make it easier to convey your true feelings\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/twitch-emotes-4.webp\" /></p>\n\n<h2>Are Twitch Emotes Free?</h2>\n\n<p><strong>There are loads of free Twitch emotes</strong> that you can download and incorporate into your Twitch chat. Twitch itself gives live streamers starting out over 120 free Twitch emotes for use, which are easily downloadable via the Subscriber Emote page on the Twitch platform.</p>\n\n<p>These can not only be used as Twitch emotes, but they can also serve as sub-badges for channel subscribers. It doesn’t cost you a penny to make and use your own Twitch emotes either, so this is another way to keep a lid on your channel’s overheads.</p>\n\n<h2>How to Make Twitch Emotes</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/01cgIrq0wUc\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>When it comes to designing your own custom emotes for a Twitch community, you need to think about the types of emotes that will resonate best with your viewers. One way to brainstorm is to ask your viewers outright what kind of custom emotes they would enjoy using.</p>\n\n<p>In fact, by bringing your community into the design process, you’re almost <em>guaranteeing </em>the success of your custom emotes from the moment they drop into your live chat box.</p>\n\n<p>Twitch has definitive guidelines for what it accepts as “standard” and “animated\" Twitch emotes:</p>\n\n<h3>Standard Emotes</h3>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>All images should be designed in .png format</li>\n\t<li>Single PNG sizes between 112x112px and 4096x4096px – or three separate image sizes of 28x28px, 56x56px and 112x112px</li>\n\t<li>All standard emotes must be square</li>\n\t<li>File sizes cannot be more than 1MB</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h3>Animated Emotes</h3>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>All images should be designed in .gif format</li>\n\t<li>Single PNG sizes between 112x112px and 4096x4096px – or three separate image sizes of 28x28px, 56x56px and 112x112px</li>\n\t<li>All animated emotes must be square Animated GIFs can include no more than 60 frames</li>\n\t<li>Animations cannot flicker or flash for over three times per second</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>How to Design Twitch Animated Emotes</h2>\n\n<p>If you want to know exactly how to make emotes for Twitch channels, it ultimately depends on your innate creativity and budget. If you have the funds to do so, you could look to use a freelance designer or artist to do the legwork.</p>\n\n<p>Alternatively, you could use industry-leading software yourself to get the job done.</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>\n\t<h3>Outsource your emotes</h3>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>There are plenty of willing freelance graphic designers out there that’ll take on your project to design custom Twitch emotes for your channel. Twitch has its own Art Section where you can find a suitable designer, while plenty of freelance portals are jam-packed with creatives waiting for your project to be advertised.</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>\n\t<h3>Create your own Twitch emotes using software</h3>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>There are free online sites that can help you put together animated emotes, but if you can afford the software, high-end solutions like Adobe Photoshop come in very handy.</p>\n\n<h2>How to Incorporate Custom Twitch Emotes Into a Channel</h2>\n\n<p>Once your new custom emotes are ready and waiting to rock, you’ll need to upload them to your Twitch channel. This is a quick and painless process, carried out via your channel’s dashboard.</p>\n\n<p>Head over to your dashboard and seek the “Affiliate/Partners Settings” tab. Tap on the “Emotes” link and upload your emotes. Once uploaded, hit the “Save Changes” button and the emotes will be housed within your library for future live streams.

Assassin’s Creed III</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/-pUhraVG7Ow\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Assassin’s Creed III is set in Native America, amid the Revolutionary War. The <em>fifth </em>major release from the Assassin’s Creed franchise, Assassin’s Creed III follows protagonist Connor Kenway, the ancestor of series protagonist Desmond Miles, in his fight to assume overall control of the colonies.</p>\n\n<p>The beauty of this release – and with so many of the Assassin’s Creed titles – is the open-world style, giving you the ability to explore 18th century Boston and New York City on foot from a third-person viewpoint during your 4th of July holiday.</p>\n\n<p><em>Word of caution:</em> it's fair to say that the United States isn’t painted in the saintliest of lights in this game, so if you're looking for a more uptempo and lighthearted play, it may be worth looking at another title.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"2.-madden-nfl-22\">2. Madden NFL 22</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/htZxwfGARGk\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p><a href=\"/en/blog/football-video-games\">American Football</a> is <em>undoubtedly </em>the most popular sport in the US, so 4th of July would be weird without a spot of gridiron! Madden NFL 22 is the latest available version of the Madden series, with <a href=\"https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/patriots/madden-nfl-23-leaked-ratings-99-club-members-and-release-date#:~:text=Madden%20NFL%2023%3A%20Leaked%20ratings%2C%2099%20club%20members%20and%20release%20date,-Jul%2022%2C%202022&text=The%20release%20date%20for%20Madden,19%2C%202022.\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">NFL 23 slated for release</a> in August ahead of the new season.</p>\n\n<p>It's no surprise that quarterbacks Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes star in a joint cover of this release as the formidable pair have remained on the lips of all football fans since Super Bowl LV.</p>\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing additions to Madden NFL 22 was the “home field advantage” system. Home teams were given the ability to generate “momentum credits”.</p>\n\n<p>The home crowd get louder and harder behind their team and the stamina of away teams is sapped faster than in previous versions. It’s an interesting take, with home advantage counting more heavily in real life too.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"3.-grand-theft-auto-v\">3. Grand Theft Auto V</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/QkkoHAzjnUs\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>The 2013 release of Grand Theft Auto V was an absolute hit with American gamers. In fact, it was still comfortably in the top ten of unit sales in the US as recently as 2020. Although it might be a somewhat strange choice as a patriotic 4th of July game, hear us out.</p>\n\n<p>Rockstar Games used this iteration to shine a spotlight on the harsh realities of the so-called “American Dream”. There is a sense of tongue-in-cheek about the pursuit of the American Dream.</p>\n\n<p>The game includes cynical get-rich-quick opportunities and parades celebrating the stars and stripes, alongside gunfights and carjacking. Like Assassin’s Creed, GTA V is another open-world game, allowing you to roam the fictional streets of Los Santos (Los Angeles).</p>\n\n<p>If you're looking for additional games available for <a href=\"/en/games/category/download-games/\">download</a>, you should also consider the all-action GTA Online multiplayer mode to get your teeth stuck into, ahead of 4th of July 2023.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"4.-red-dead-redemption\">4. Red Dead Redemption</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/-o7rES_3ymA\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Although everyone is talking about its prequel right now, Red Dead Redemption could just be<em> the perfect</em> 4th of July video game.</p>\n\n<p>Set amid the collapse of the American frontier in the early 20th century, you take charge of protagonist, John Marston. Marston is enraged at having lost his wife and son, who were taken hostage by the government while he worked for them as a “gun for hire”.</p>\n\n<p>This third-person game sees you explore much of western US and North Mexico on foot and horseback. An in-built morality system – influenced by the decisions you take with Marston – can build his in-game honor and reputation.</p>\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the “Dead Eye” shooting mechanic makes it possible to tackle multiple enemies in slow motion. It’s one of the finest video games of the modern era.</p>\n\n<p>Its development team at Rockstar San Diego spent time visiting historical US landmarks to get a feel for the environment. With unnerving realism, this is one of the elite action-adventure <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPGs</a> and a sure-fire winner for gamers on 4th of July.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"5.-mlb-the-show\">5. MLB The Show</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/D5o1y9qDVNc\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>We all know how we Americans love our sports, so we thought it prudent to squeeze <em>a second </em>sports sim into our 4th of July games list.</p>\n\n<p>MLB: The Show has been a celebration of Major League Baseball ever since its inaugural release in February 2006. It remains the <em>only </em>MLB baseball sim available on console and desktop. MLB: The Show 22 is the latest release, hitting the shelves in April this year.</p>\n\n<p>It was the first of the franchise to be made available on a Nintendo console – the Nintendo Switch – having been exclusively on Sony PlayStation and Microsoft’s Xbox suite of consoles.</p>\n\n<p>The latest iteration has received warm reviews from the industry and baseball fans alike. The gameplay and expansion of game modes like the March to October series have further improved its longevity beyond 4th of July too.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"6.-independence-day\">6. Independence Day</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/SO07evKu7EE\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>It would be somewhat remiss of us to overlook the 1997 video game classic Independence Day ahead of 4th of July.</p>\n\n<p>Inspired by Roland Emmerich’s Hollywood blockbuster the previous year, Independence Day was the brainchild of developers Radical Entertainment.</p>\n\n<p>Released on both the PlayStation and Sega Saturn – as well as desktop (Windows) – this combat flight simulator requires you to complete 13 aerial missions in a bid to thwart invading alien life forms in North America.</p>\n\n<p>As you complete each mission, you’ll unlock additional fighter jets that you can use for future missions, giving you extra pep in your step. Although sales of this game were strong upon release, it fared worse with industry critics.</p>\n\n<p>Many described it as perfectly playable, but somewhat one-dimensional, with many of the missions looking and feeling very similar.</p>\n\n<p>However, if you’re just looking for a one-off patriotic blast for the 4th of July holiday, then knock yourself out!</p>\n","date":"7/25/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Celebrating the 4th of July with video games!","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/4th-of-july-1.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14917"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/chinajoy/"},"strings":{"title":"ChinaJoy: Asia's #1 Gaming Con Explained","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>ChinaJoy, also known as the <strong>China Digital Entertainment Expo & Conference</strong>, is an annual event staged in Shanghai, China. It has rapidly grown into a gaming behemoth – the largest gaming and entertainment expo in China, or anywhere else on the continent!</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>In China, over 500,000,000 people play video games. In 2018, almost<em> a quarter</em> of the global gaming industry’s $100B revenue was derived from mainland China, making it the unofficial “Gaming Capital of the World”.</p>\n\n<p>It has been a real sea change for the Chinese gaming industry in the last two decades.</p>\n\n<p>In 2000, China announced a blanket ban on the use of video gaming consoles, in fear of their impact on the next generation. 15 years later, this ban was eventually lifted, exposing Chinese gamers to a whole new world of next-generation console gaming.</p>\n\n<p>However, the prohibition of console gaming between 2000 and 2015 created a new “black market” for desktop gamers, with PC games allowed to be hosted at internet cafes across the country.</p>\n\n<p>This ushered in a new wave of <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmorpg-games/\">MMORPG games</a>, led by gaming companies that are a tour de force of the Chinese market, including <a href=\"https://www.tencent.com/en-us/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Tencent</a> and <a href=\"https://www.neteasegames.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">NetEase</a>.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/nEtmZnFAJv4\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2>The History of the ChinaJoy Expo</h2>\n\n<p>Despite the prohibition of video gaming in China between 2000 and 2015, the nation played host to ChinaJoy from its inauguration in 2004. In 2022, the China Joy organization bids to celebrate its 20th year.</p>\n\n<p>Each year, as desktop and online gaming grew in popularity during the ban on consoles, the biggest gaming companies on the planet have sought to forge new links with China. ChinaJoy has proven to be the perfect mediator.</p>\n\n<p>Offshore publishers have increasingly sought to work collaboratively with domestic developers to not only raise exposure but deliver a localized version of their western games.</p>\n\n<p>In 2019 – the last ChinaJoy Expo pre-pandemic – three of the biggest gaming publishers made their mark. Nintendo, Ubisoft, and Sony all featured heavily, with a dedicated remit to build lucrative, localized versions of established franchises.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/chinajoy-2.webp\" /></p>\n\n<h3>Localizing Western Games </h3>\n\n<p>Sony confirmed that they would localize several of their main franchise titles that have been such a hit in the western market, most notably NBA 2K2, Shenmue 3, and Sangokushi 14. It was a similar story from Nintendo too.</p>\n\n<p>The Japanese firm even went as far as displaying the localized versions of their most popular western games at ChinaJoy 2019, committing to a bigger suite of console games to be made available in Simplified Chinese.</p>\n\n<p>At ChinaJoy 2019, Ubisoft’s CEO, Yves Guillemot, insisted he would love to see a mainline Assassin’s Creed release set within historic mainland China.</p>\n\n<p>Contrary to popular belief, Guillemot did not commit to such a plan, but his mention of it being a possibility served as further proof of the collective gaze of publishers toward the lucrative Chinese gaming market.</p>\n\n<h3>Simplified Chinese in Western Games</h3>\n\n<p>Gaming localization in Simplified Chinese is a strategy that’s already starting to pay off in a big way for several gaming studios.</p>\n\n<p>CDPR unveiled The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in Simplified Chinese, while Cyberpunk 2077 was also supplied with exclusive Simplified Chinese voiceovers and subtitles to create a relatable and immersive experience for gamers.</p>\n\n<p>The <strong>big difference between ChinaJoy and western gaming expos is that developers and publishers alike have to work harder in Asia</strong>. They already have a loyal and consistent customer base in the west.</p>\n\n<p>However, a steady approach to localization in the Chinese market is already starting to pay dividends.</p>\n\n<h3>ChinaJoy - A Gateway to the Asian Market</h3>\n\n<p>Polish game development studio, 11 Bit Studios, which successfully launched one of 2014’s best war survival <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPG games</a>, This War of Mine, experienced slow but steady growth in China-based sales as a consequence of localizing the game to the Simplified Chinese market.</p>\n\n<p>In 2013, sales from China represented a mere 1% of the title’s outright revenues. By 2018, the country was generating almost <em>a quarter</em> of its revenues from here.</p>\n\n<p>Investing in events like ChinaJoy is akin to playing the long game for overseas gaming companies. These firms need to forge trusted, cost-effective relationships with Chinese partners that can deliver premium quality dubbing and translation that’s hyper-relevant to Chinese culture.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/FkWp_Z7Jbtg\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2>When is ChinaJoy 2022?</h2>\n\n<p>While ChinaJoy 2021 proved to be a rip-roaring success at the Shanghai New International Expo Center, Chinese gamers and global gaming companies have been left disappointed by the news that ChinaJoy 2022 is to be hosted <em>exclusively online</em>.</p>\n\n<p>The re-emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic in mainland China has seen the event’s organizers pull the plug and stage the 20th anniversary of ChinaJoy on the web.</p>\n\n<p>The ChinaJoy Organizing Committee unanimously agreed to postpone the offline event, but quickly devised a new plan to host 2022’s gaming innovation in the metaverse.</p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">ChinaJoy officially announced that the 21st ChinaJoy was postponed.<a href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/ChinaJoy?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ChinaJoy</a> <a href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/Shanghai?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Shanghai</a><br />\n<br />\nIt was scheduled to be held from July 29th to Aug. 1st, 2022 in Shanghai.

Check out our guide below to find out how video game music can become seriously iconic!</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-video-game-sheet-music?\">What is Video Game Sheet Music?</h2>\n\n<p>Video game music, aka VGM, is the soundtrack that plays from the start until the end of a game. Early video game music was monotone and limited to simple tunes due to memory constraints.</p>\n\n<p>Early video game discs and cartridges only contained a single sound chip, such as a programmable sound generator (PSG), meaning there wasn’t much capacity to compose complex tunes.</p>\n\n<p>So when video game sheet music was first written, it was little more than simple synthesized beats. This 8-bit music, or chiptunes as they came to be known, were catchy. However, it didn’t set the mood in quite the same way as modern video game sheet music.</p>\n\n<p>Today, when you play the latest <a href=\"/en/games/genre/pvp-games/\">PvP</a>, for example, there are complex sounds that have an almost cinematic quality - in fact, that’s why video game music is described as a soundtrack.</p>\n\n<p>In both film and video games, a soundtrack is music that’s synchronized with specific images/video sequences in order to heighten and intensify the tension, drama, or any other emotion the creators want an audience to feel.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Video game music manipulates our feelings\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/video-game-music-4.webp\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"how-does-music-move-us?\">How Does Music Move Us?</h2>\n\n<p>Music moves everyone in different ways. However, the <a href=\"https://www.soundstripe.com/blogs/the-psychology-of-music\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">psychology of musical notes</a> and melodies tells us that we are moved by certain tunes. From a biological perspective, our brains start tuning into sounds in the womb.</p>\n\n<p><strong>From the 16th week of incubation, we’re already being shaped by sounds!</strong> This continues throughout our lives. Scientists have identified various parts of the brain that respond to music, but the five most responsive are:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>The Hippocampus</li>\n\t<li>The Frontal Lobe</li>\n\t<li>The Temporal Lobe</li>\n\t<li>The Amygdala</li>\n\t<li>The Cerebellum</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Each part of the brain responds differently. For example, lyrics are processed and understood in the temporal lobe.</p>\n\n<p>The amygdala deals with emotion. Basically, each part of the brain filters sound and music in a specific way and this contributes to our personal interpretation of it. The end result is a certain reaction.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Oftentimes overlooked, video game music is an essential part of any game!\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/video-game-music-2.webp\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-type-of-music-is-used-in-video-games?\">What Type of Music is Used in Video Games?</h2>\n\n<p>So, after establishing that we react in certain ways to music, and that it is used to influence our emotions, what <em>types </em>of music are common in video games? And, building on this, where can you find video game soundtracks?</p>\n\n<p>Looking at the types of music you’ll find in video games, the genres fall into two main categories: linear and adaptive.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Linear video game music plays continuously during a scene or in a setting</strong>. For example, when you start the game, there may be an introductory soundtrack that plays on a look. Linear video game music isn’t affected by your gameplay.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Adaptive video game music changes based on the situation and/or your actions</strong>. In other words, the music adapts and interacts with the game engine. For example, if you enter a fight sequence, a certain type of music might kick in or speed up.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"There are plenty of reasons for Video Game music being called a Soundtrack\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/video-game-music-3.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p>Within these two general categories, there are three main types of video game music:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><strong>Diegetic: This music emanates from an identifiable source within the environment you’re in.</strong> For example, if a car drives past and the radio is on, this would be a diegetic piece of music. What you’ll notice with this type of video game music is that it moves in line with the current dynamics. So, as the car gets closer, the music gets louder and, as it drives away, it gets quieter.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Extra-Diegetic: This type of video game music is also known as the underscore because it underpins a scene/setting</strong>. You can think of extra-diegetic music as background tunes that play while you’re performing a task. For example, this type of music might be playing while you walk from one scenario to another or when you engage in a battle.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Gameplay: This video game music is controlled by you (i.e. the player). You become the source of the music</strong>. For example, in Guitar Hero, you’re the person making the music.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-the-most-iconic-video-game-music?\">What is the Most Iconic Video Game Music?</h2>\n\n<p>That’s a great question, but it’s a tough one to answer! We’ve already established that video game music is an essential ingredient in the entertainment equation.</p>\n\n<p>However, when you open up the video game music archive and attempt to pick out the top tracks, things get tricky. Why? Because the tunes that <em>Person A</em> might class as the best video game music aren’t the ones <em>Person B</em> would choose.</p>\n\n<p>This is why we can’t simply say: here’s the best video game music. What we can do, however, is offer some <em>suggestions </em>based on different settings.</p>\n\n<p>For example, if you’re playing <a href=\"/en/games/genre/action-games/\">action games</a>, there will be a certain type of music that suits you. If you want to use video game music for studying, there are suitable tracks for that.</p>\n\n<p>Basically, by breaking things down into categories, it becomes slightly easier to search through the video game music archive and select some hits.</p>\n\n<p>So, to conclude, here are six tracks that, in our opinion, should be listed among the best video game music offerings of all time:</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"video-game-music-for-studying\">Video Game Music for Studying</h3>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/C9DbKkX5mDE\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>If you want something that’s calming, and playful, but not too intrusive while you study, check out the Piano Collections from Final Fantasy 7.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"video-game-music-for-action-titles\">Video Game Music for Action Titles</h3>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/57jIlw6HmCE\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>For a moving, haunting, and moody musical experience, try the soundtrack from Shadow Of The Colossus.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"video-game-music-for-pvp-titles\">Video Game Music for PvP Titles</h3>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/6p_a1SYs6Gs\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>PvP games are all about changing momentum, so you need a soundtrack that can go from calm to energetic.

This is why so many blockbuster games bend the laws of physics, give the player magical powers, or create worlds that could only ever exist in the imagination.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>However, we are not always searching for a fantastical escape. Sometimes, we want a gaming experience that more closely mirrors the real experience of our everyday lives. This is why life simulation games have proven so incredibly popular over the years.</p>\n\n<p>A simulation video game allows you to enjoy a more relaxed pace of play, while also introducing you to a realistic virtual world that is not based entirely on competition or kill counts.</p>\n\n<p>If you want to experience a more realistic type of gameplay, these are the simulation games you <em>need </em>to try.</p>\n\n<h2>10. Stardew Valley</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/8A7A1X1TVNc\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Released in 2016, Stardew Valley might just be the standard-bearer for farming-based, life simulation games.</p>\n\n<p>Rendered in gorgeous and very adorable 2D pixel art, this soothing game asks you to build a successful farm while navigating a complex web of relationships in your local community, with no shortage of heartwarming moments to boot.</p>\n\n<p>This game is about as low-stakes as it comes.</p>\n\n<h2>9. Harvest Moon</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/72es6X8BeYI\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>The precursor to Stardew Valley, this remains one of the most well-known farming simulation games ever, and for good reason. The game takes you to a quaint rural yesteryear, where you have the freedom to do as much or as little as you want.</p>\n\n<p>You can start a family, acquire pets, renovate your home, or stir up some beef with the neighboring farm. How you decide to play this simulation video game is up to you.</p>\n\n<h2>8. Rune Factory 5</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/p0jRiDK8oBo\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>If you love <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPGs</a> but still seek the relaxed pacing of life simulation games, then Rune Factory 5 is the one for you</p>\n\n<p>. This beautifully-rendered game contains many of the same farming elements of Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley, but with some adrenaline-boosting twists if you need them.</p>\n\n<p>This title adopts elements of the fantasy genre, and gives players the opportunity to do battle with enemies, as well as embark on the occasional epic quest. However, if you'd rather stay at home and tend your corn crops, that is also fine.</p>\n\n<h2>7. Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/8K3MHx-kK4c\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>We couldn't exclude this hilarious, relatable, and surprisingly incisive dating sim. In Dream Daddy, you play a recently-single dad who is on the market to meet another eligible dad and must navigate the messy world of contemporary dating to find your one true love.</p>\n\n<p>This game represents modern dating so well that it almost hurts, with every cringe-inducing detail included.<strong> It also deals with crucial topics of toxic masculinity, social anxiety, and ageism </strong>in ways that make this an absolute must-play, no matter your identity.</p>\n\n<h2>6. Gone Home</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/x5KJzLsyfBI\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>So, is there a real life simulation game? For those looking for an experience that truly feels real, Gone Home is a must-try.</p>\n\n<p>This short game puts you in the shoes of a college student who has just returned to the family home after a gap year and must piece together the life events that they have missed in their absence.</p>\n\n<p>The game is as real as it gets, including all of the mundane as well as the thrilling aspects of everyday life, with <strong>a surprising and heartwarming twist at the end</strong>.</p>\n\n<h2>5. The Stanley Parable</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/fBtX0S2J32Y\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Okay, this one leans a little bit more towards the unreal, but anyone who has ever worked a dead-end desk job as a cubicle robot will relate to this. The Stanley Parable takes place in a very nondescript office building, where you play an admin by the name of Stanley.</p>\n\n<p>One day, you come into the office and realize that your coworkers are nowhere to be found, with ominous signs that the corporation you work for has been up to something sinister. The game contains plenty of thrills and twists, all told through the minutiae of everyday office life.</p>\n\n<h2>4. Animal Crossing: Wild World</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/kNW4fHb9C7w\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Upon launching in 2005, the original Animal Crossing was quickly hailed as one of the best life simulation games ever to be released.</p>\n\n<p>The game takes place on a cutesy island filled with talking animals, and your role is to build up your home and business, all while navigating the unending grind of capitalism and paying off your debts.</p>\n\n<p>For such a surprisingly hard-nosed premise, this lighthearted and oftentimes hilarious game is an absolute joy to play.</p>\n\n<h2>3. VA-11 HALL-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/EZimx2-lmQg\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>This is another one of those life simulation games that so masterfully capture the experience of a specific profession, while also including some otherworldly elements and no shortage of social commentary.</p>\n\n<p>Cyberpunk Bartender Action puts you in the shoes of a smart-mouthed bartender in a dystopian future, where you learn more about the world you inhabit through the motley crew of customers that come through your doors.</p>\n\n<p>You might also learn a thing or two about mixology, while you're at it.</p>\n\n<h2>2. Animal Crossing: New Horizons</h2>\n\n<p>What is the best life simulation game? For us, it's a game that manages to capture the complex, ever-changing relationships we have with those around us, while also building a compelling world that feels like the one we all inhabit.</p>\n\n<p>This balance was struck perfectly with the latest Animal Crossing release, New Horizons. This game takes all of the things we love about the original and vastly increases your options, allowing you to build a life on the island that is truly whatever you wish to make it.</p>\n\n<h2>1. The Sims 2</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/t9u1zMCos8w\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>What is the number one simulation game? To receive this title, you need a game that gives you as broad a range of realistic options and interactions as possible.</p>\n\n<p>It also needs to capture the milestones and the often hilarious everyday interactions that comprise the human experience.</p>\n\n<p>For us, that game is the Sims 2. While some will not agree that this life simulation game is the best entry in the series, we believe that it captures the realism that simulation games should aspire to better than any other.</p>\n\n<p>Build your dream home, wreck your marriage with an affair, start a side hustle, and feud with your siblings over your inheritance. In The Sims 2, you can go your own way.</p>\n\n<h2>Simulation Games Blurring Between Genres</h2>\n\n<p>These are our top picks for life simulation games that you absolutely need to try, part of the reason being that none could fit under one single genre.</p>\n\n<p>This means that fans of almost any genre might find a good fit in one of the games above.

Well, the first thing to note is that, when most people talk about it, they are probably talking about San Diego Comic Con, or SDCC for short.</p>\n\n<p>Also known as the International Comic Con, this is the hallowed event that takes place at the San Diego Convention Center. It is often the staging ground for some of the biggest announcements and unveilings in the industry.</p>\n\n<p>It is the place where Marvel might screen <a href=\"https://deadline.com/2022/06/marvel-studios-sets-comic-con-return-1235051786/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">a new film trailer</a> for the first time, or where DC might unveil a new Batman comic book storyline.</p>\n\n<p>Basically, for all of the biggest events relating to comics and surrounding media, <strong>SDCC is the place to watch</strong>.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Get ready to see a ton of cosplay at Comic Con 2022!\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/comic-con-5.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p>It's worth noting that the event is also known for its attendees. Every year, <strong>more than 150,000 people will attend the event over the course of four days</strong>, often dressed as their favorite superheroes, characters from <a href=\"/en/games/genre/action-games/\">action games</a>, or Marvel memes.</p>\n\n<p>Oftentimes, the incredibly detailed Comic Con costumes will garner as much headline attention as the speakers themselves.</p>\n\n<h2>San Diego Comic Con 2022</h2>\n\n<p>So, what can attendees expect for 2022? As per usual,<strong> the event will be taking place at the San Diego Convention Center from July 21 to July 24</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>If you're wondering how much it would cost to go to Comic Con 2022, it's worth noting that all tickets, known as \"badges\", are currently <strong>sold out</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>However, canceled and returned badges are constantly being made available on the <a href=\"https://www.comic-con.org/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">SDCC website</a>, so keep an eye out if you haven't snapped one up yet.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Single-day badges range from $45 to $55 a piece, while a full four-day badge costs $254</strong>, a minor increase on previous years.</p>\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the Comic Con Museum will feature a much-anticipated, sprawling retrospective on the Spiderman franchise (starting July 20), making this a must-visit for Spidey fans.</p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Comic-Con welcomes its sixth wave of special guests for 2022, added to the 30 previously announced names: <a href=\"https://t.co/YGSgLj6lXT\">https://t.co/YGSgLj6lXT</a> <a href=\"https://t.co/E4p1DmMaGW\">pic.twitter.com/E4p1DmMaGW</a></p>\n— San Diego Comic-Con (@Comic_Con) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/Comic_Con/status/1534988757161721874?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 9, 2022</a></blockquote>\n<script async src=\"https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"></script>\n\n<p>In addition, SDCC keeps releasing names of some of the Special Guests as the event nears and progresses.</p>\n\n<p>These are some the top names that have been confirmed for the 2022 Comic Con:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Gilbert & Jaime Hernandez: Creators, Love & Rockets</li>\n\t<li>Kevin Maguire: Artist, Captain America, Guardians of the Galaxy, Team Titans</li>\n\t<li>Jim Benton: Author, Attack of the Stuff, Catwad, Dear Dumb Diary</li>\n\t<li>Phil Lamarr: Actor, Mad TV, Futurama, Family Guy, Futurama, Veep</li>\n\t<li>Amy Chu: Writer, Rick & Morty, Green Hornet, DOTA: Dragon's Blood</li>\n\t<li>Scott Snyder: Writer, Batman, Justice League, American Vampire</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p> </p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Be still my beating, geeky heart 🖤 Swooning because Freddie Prinze Jr. (90s heartthrob Zack Siler from She’s All That, Fred Jones from Scooby-Doo, Kanan Jarrus from Star Wars Rebels) is coming to NYCC.<br />\n<br />\nMeet Freddie Oct 8-9 for Photo Ops & Autographs: <a href=\"https://t.co/YKJiDkLXyh\">https://t.co/YKJiDkLXyh</a> <a href=\"https://t.co/CUvmDrpImV\">pic.twitter.com/CUvmDrpImV</a></p>\n— New York Comic Con (@NY_Comic_Con) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/NY_Comic_Con/status/1537842455227338752?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 17, 2022</a></blockquote>\n<script async src=\"https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"></script>\n\n<h2>New York Comic Con 2022</h2>\n\n<p><strong>New York Comic Con is also back with a bang, returning to the Javits Center on October 6-9, 2022</strong>.

A <strong>two-day ticket costs €108 ($115)</strong>, while a <strong>one-day ticket for either Saturday or Sunday is set at €65 ($70)</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>The tickets grant you access to Community MeetUps, Twitch Rivals, Meet & Greets, the Loot Cave, give a Chat Badge, and a Swag Bag.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Get ready for some fierce cosplay at TwitchCon 2022!\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/twitch-con-5.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p>For Amsterdam, you can <strong>pick up your badges from midday on July 15</strong>, or from 9 am on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, the Expo Hall & Rivals, Loot Cave, Content, and Drag Showcase finish at 7 pm, with there also being an Opening Ceremony at 11 am.</p>\n\n<p>On Sunday, there’s also the Cosplay Contest from 3 pm as well as TwitchCon Public Access from 5 pm to closing.</p>\n\n<p>Already listed as coming to TwitchCon in Europe are <strong>OllyBOT</strong>, <strong>Midnan</strong>, <strong>Shyphoebe</strong>, <strong>JustTrashee</strong>, <strong>Stallion</strong>, <strong>Rockzii</strong>, <strong>Daniellippens</strong>, and many more. As for ambassadors, you can expect to see <strong>Eevoh</strong>, <strong>Sharese</strong>, <strong>Ruby True</strong>, <strong>ReadySetBen</strong>, <strong>Armorra</strong>, <strong>Miabyte</strong>, and <strong>Abulic</strong>.</p>\n\n<p><strong>TwitchCon San Diego is bound to have much of the same formula</strong>, boasting a whole host of <a href=\"/en/games/category/popular-games/\">popular games</a>, and likely going bigger than in the Netherlands as it’s a <em>three-day</em> event. As it stands, though, there isn’t much to go on for specific details.</p>\n\n<p>We know that there’ll be cosplay and drag events, streaming sessions, and workshops, as well as a bunch of popular streamers, but details remain scant for now.</p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">We will be at Amsterdam's <a href=\"https://twitter.com/TwitchCon?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TwitchCon</a> 2022! 🤩<br />\n<br />\nCome meet us to get an exclusive look at Ultra Mega Xtra Party Challenge, our next game!<br />\n<br />\n📅 July 16 & 17<br />\n📍 Expo Floor, booth 136<br />\n<a href=\"https://t.co/AWUGlf2bzF\">https://t.co/AWUGlf2bzF</a> <a href=\"https://t.co/hPAmVNeop5\">pic.twitter.com/hPAmVNeop5</a></p>\n— Just For Games - BEASTIES releasing July 1st ♥ (@JustForGames) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/JustForGames/status/1542430062485569537?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 30, 2022</a></blockquote>\n<script async src=\"https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"></script>\n\n<h2>We Know What You Did Last TwitchCon</h2>\n\n<p>Along with a return to the San Diego Convention Center, TwitchCon branched out into Europe for the first time, hosting a <strong>two-day event at CityCube in Berlin, Germany</strong>. The European leg took place from April 13th to 14th, while the US event was held from September 27th to 29th.</p>\n\n<p>After such a successful 2019, Twitch made grand plans to repeat in 2020, but then the pandemic took hold. So, first, the Amsterdam TwitchCon from May 2nd to 3rd was canceled, and later, so too was the September 25th to 27th San Diego TwitchCon 2020.</p>\n\n<p>In its place, Twitch decided to revert back to its internet-based origins, bringing TwitchCon exclusively to its vast online platform. On November 14, <strong>GlitchCon proved to be an incredible success</strong>. According to <a href=\"https://www.thegamer.com/glitchcon-over-6-7-million-viewers/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">The Gamer</a>, 6.7 million people watched the event, with a peak of 175,000 concurrent viewers.</p>\n\n<p>While live and in-person TwitchCon events of the past have been superb, GlitchCon 2020 was a real tour de force, showcasing that Twitch is unrivaled in its online field.</p>\n\n<p>Over the course of 12 hours, there were 20 segments, popular streamers, professional gamers, and celebrities. In attendance were <strong>Pokimane, Zedd, and T-Pain</strong>, with the latter hosting a virtual after-party.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/kvyiYbsY1h0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2>TwitchCon to Bounce Back in 2022?</h2>\n\n<p>GlitchCon 2020 proved to be a huge success, but <strong>Twitch decided to completely cancel TwitchCon in 2021</strong>. So, 2022 will be the first live TwitchCon in the real world for three years and the first online in two years.</p>\n\n<p>It will undoubtedly be hoping to match or beat the comeback of <a href=\"/en/blog/comic-con/\">San Diego Comic-Con</a>.</p>\n\n<p>The immense convention canceled its usual summer slot for San Diego Comic-Con 2021 but then threw together a “Special Edition” in November 2021.</p>\n\n<p>While it pales in comparison to recent figures, Comic-Con still managed to welcome over 40,000 to the San Diego-based event. TwitchCon will almost certainly hope to return to its usual attendances of around 30,000 people.</p>\n\n<p>TwitchCon returns in 2022, and for anyone who can make it to Amsterdam in July or San Diego in October, it’s bound to be a huge event to celebrate its return!</p>\n","date":"7/4/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"TwitchCon 2022 is gonna be BIG","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/twitch-con-1.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14873"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/gaymer/"},"strings":{"title":"Are You a Gaymer?

Of course, in reality, it means much more than that to so many people who devote their hours to the worlds, stories, and competitions that it creates.</p>\n\n<p>More importantly, gaming brings people together from all walks of life into exciting communities.</p>\n\n<p>{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>However, almost since its inception, gaming has had an image problem: one propelled by stereotypes that, unfortunately, do regularly get reinforced by gamers and the industry. This stereotype is that it’s for young, white, cis males.</p>\n\n<p>When you look at the industry hierarchy and prominent characters, it’s easy to see why.</p>\n\n<p>As gaming is so immersive, compelling, and accessible, though, the stereotype was never going to hold up in reality.</p>\n\n<p>Increasingly so, people who defy the stereotype are reaching the peak of the gaming scene, with one of the most prominent of these almost-anti-establishment communities being that of the <strong>gaymer</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>To celebrate the revolutionary efforts of the gaymer community, we’re delving into what it means to be a gaymer, how prominent gaymers are changing the industry for the better, and the LGBT video games that have broken out.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/KHg0flHgYX8\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2>What Does Gaymer Mean?</h2>\n\n<p><strong>Gaymer is a portmanteau of “gay” and “gamer”</strong>, referring to someone who identifies as homosexual and enjoys playing video games (either casually or as a hardcore player).</p>\n\n<p>Nowadays, the term extends to represent the LGBT community as a whole, meaning that “gaymer” can include anyone whose self-identification falls under <a href=\"https://uwm.edu/lgbtrc/wp-content/uploads/sites/162/2021/07/LGBTRC-Gender-Graphic-1.png\" target=\"_blank\">the LGBT umbrella</a>, such as queer, non-binary or trans people.</p>\n\n<h2>Who Is Considered a Gaymer?</h2>\n\n<p>Essentially, a \"Gaymer\" encompasses all gamers who don't consider themselves heterosexual and / or cisgender, and take part in the gaming community, in any numbers of ways, such as by playing video games, competing in competitions, making games, and partaking in gaming communities </p>\n\n<h3>Members of the Gayming Community</h3>\n\n<p>While gaymer culture and gaymers are still wildly underrepresented across the industry, people and events are making a big difference. The online community has become manifest in the real world with <a href=\"https://gaymerx.org/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">GaymerX</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Having started in 2013, the annual conference brings the gaymer community together, often welcoming thousands of fans through its gates.</p>\n\n<p>As you’ll know, it’s the individual gamers who come out to proclaim their gaymer-ness who make the biggest difference for awareness and representation. The <a href=\"/en/blog/esports/\">eSports</a> scene is fairly diverse, welcoming people from all over the world, but one of the best and loudest representatives is also a gaymer.</p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">I’m a nonbinary gamer that just happens to be really godlike at fighting games and very outspoked about my beliefs.

Juneteenth 2022 will take place on Sunday, June 19th this year.</p>\n\n<p>{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2>Why Is It Called Juneteenth?</h2>\n\n<p>On September 22nd, 1862, Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. It stated that as of the following January, in 1863, any person who was still living in enslaved states that were engaged in rebellion against the Union would be free.</p>\n\n<p>While this was a huge step towards freedom, it only applied to those living in the confederacy. <a href=\"https://aaregistry.org/story/the-first-black-watch-night-service-occurs-in-america/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Freedom’s Eve</a> took place on January 1st, 1863. African Americans gathered together, awaiting the night when the Emancipation Proclamation would come into law.</p>\n\n<p>When it did, they held church services and marched across the country, spreading the good news. For areas that were not under the control of confederate states, it would be a long time before this could become enacted. Texas was the state furthest west and would be the last to benefit.</p>\n\n<p>It would take two and half years for this to happen. Turning up on June 19th, 1865, two thousand troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, and took control of the state. 250,000 Black citizens lived in slavery there, and it was announced that their freedom had arrived.</p>\n\n<p>This is the moment that slavery ended across the United States and is the reason that Juneteenth 2022 gets celebrated every year.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/eWuFpc0RYqI\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2>Is Juneteenth 2022 a National Holiday?</h2>\n\n<p>Juneteenth became an official federal holiday on June 17th, 2021. It is now known as the longest-running African American holiday and the Juneteenth 2022 celebrations take place on the 19th day of the month.</p>\n\n<h2>How to Celebrate Juneteenth 2022</h2>\n\n<p>Celebrations for Juneteenth have been taking place for around 150 years in the US. However, it has only become an official federal holiday recently. The first state to observe it was Texas when it became an official state holiday in 1980.</p>\n\n<p>New York signed it into law in 2020, and it became a federal holiday one year later in 2021.</p>\n\n<p>As it is a new holiday, it does not have the institutionalized traditions that other holidays do. Many people choose to celebrate in a range of diverse ways. Like most American holidays, this often involves food, BBQ, and fireworks.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Juneteenth - Photo by Tasha Jolley\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/juneteenth-2.webp\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 512px;\" /></p>\n\n<address>Photo by <a href=\"https://unsplash.com/@jolleytasha?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText\">Tasha Jolley</a> on <a href=\"https://unsplash.com/?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash</a></address>\n\n<p>Dressing in red, black, and green for the day is a common tradition, and Juneteenth decorations may also contain these colors, which are representative of African people across the world and their descendants.</p>\n\n<p>This red theme carries on into the food people eat and drink. Red velvet cakes, strawberry soda, and watermelon also commemorate the day.</p>\n\n<p>When enslaved Africans came to the United States and South Caribbean, hibiscus tea and kola nut tea were two drinks brought with them. Red beverages are a nod to this, as well as representing the blood of those enslaved or those who lost their lives.</p>\n\n<p>Others may choose to celebrate Juneteenth 2022 looking to the future, and supporting local businesses and innovations is a practical way to do this.</p>\n\n<h2>How Do We Celebrate Juneteenth in the Gaming Industry?</h2>\n\n<p>There is no official way to celebrate Juneteenth in the video game industry. There are outstanding African American and Black characters in games, along with the excellent staff who make them happen, but there is still a way to go.</p>\n\n<p>If it was not for the contribution of innovators like Gerald \"Jerry\" Lawson, we would not have had the concept of a games cartridge. Lawson and his team were the leaders of the Fairchild Channel F, the first console with removable games.</p>\n\n<p>This has continued through to modern gaming with developers such as Rockstar game's Shawn Alexander Allen, who worked on the Grand Theft Auto series and Red Dead Redemption.</p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Me, about these Black game developer lists:<br />\n“Those feel very strange to me.

Each team starts in its respective NBA playoffs bracket, and the best from the East and West eventually meet in the final.</p>\n\n<p>How Many Teams Make the NBA Playoffs?</p>\n\n<p>This is where it gets exciting - because 16 different franchises get the chance to win the <em>ultimate </em>crown.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"The NBA Playoffs never cease to surprise!\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/nba-playoffs-4.webp\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"who-is-in-the-nba-playoffs?\">Who is in the NBA Playoffs?</h2>\n\n<p>Check out the list below to see who is in the NBA playoffs this year:</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"eastern-conference\">Eastern Conference</h3>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Miami Heat</li>\n\t<li>Atlanta Hawks</li>\n\t<li>Philadelphia 76ers</li>\n\t<li>Cleveland Cavaliers</li>\n\t<li>Milwaukee Bucks</li>\n\t<li>New York Knicks</li>\n\t<li>Boston Celtics</li>\n\t<li>Brooklyn Nets</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h3 id=\"western-conference\">Western Conference</h3>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Phoenix Suns</li>\n\t<li>Los Angeles Lakers</li>\n\t<li>Los Angeles Clippers</li>\n\t<li>Sacramento Kings</li>\n\t<li>Golden State Warriors</li>\n\t<li>Denver Nuggets</li>\n\t<li>Memphis Grizzlies</li>\n\t<li>Minnesota Timberwolves</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Past NBA playoffs can't always predict the future\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/nba-playoffs-2.webp\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what’s-the-nba-playoffs-schedule?\">What’s the NBA Playoffs Schedule?</h2>\n\n<p>The NBA playoffs schedule consists of a knockout format where teams compete in the best of seven games. The winner progresses to the next round. Here’s a rundown of the schedule:</p>\n\n<p>The First Round – The top-ranked team from each conference faces the lowest-ranked team from their division. Second place faces off against seventh, and so on.</p>\n\n<p>Conference Semifinals – The winners of games one and two, as well as three and four in each conference play each other.</p>\n\n<p>Conference Finals – The remaining two teams in each conference compete for a place in the final.</p>\n\n<p>NBA Finals – The best teams from each conference are matched up in the final to crown the season’s champion.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"when-do-nba-playoffs-start?\">When do NBA Playoffs Start?</h3>\n\n<p>The NBA playoffs start towards the middle of April and run all the way until June, with the final game of 2023 scheduled for June 18th.</p>\n\n<p>In preparation for this spectacle, the NBA 2K League season ends at the start of June, meaning that there will be a lot of attention from gamers and basketball fans alike for the NBA playoffs final games.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"who’s-tipped-to-be-crowned-champion-this-season?\">Who’s Tipped to be Crowned Champion This Season?</h3>\n\n<p>Going into the NBA playoffs 2023, all the top ranked teams in the two conferences were in with a chance of making it all the way. These included the likes of the Celtics, the Nuggets, the Grizzlies, the 76ers, the Suns, and the Bucks.</p>\n\n<p>Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors battled their way to the NBA finals. The former have won 17 championships, with their most recent coming way back in 2008.</p>\n\n<p>Whilst the latter have won it more recently in 2018, they have only been crowned NBA Champions on five other occasions prior to that.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"why-do-the-nba-playoffs-appeal-to-esports-fans?\">Why do the NBA Playoffs Appeal to eSports Fans?</h2>\n\n<p>Thanks to the high-quality, enhanced graphics that the Eco-Motion engine has brought to the NBA 2K games, there’s little to separate gaming from reality.</p>\n\n<p>The fast-paced nature of basketball makes it the perfect option for a console title, and fans of the game tend to enjoy playing and watching virtual and live versions.</p>\n\n<p>It can also be considered a title within the genre of <a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">strategic games</a>, as players need to set up and manage their teams well in order to be in with a chance of success.</p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"LeBron James was named MVP in 2020\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/nba-playoffs-3.webp\" /></p>\n\n<h3 id=\"mvps-get-improved-stats-in-nba-2k-games\">MVPs get Improved Stats in NBA 2K Games</h3>\n\n<p>A lot of what happens in the real world translates to the NBA 2K games later. For example, MVPs from the NBA playoffs are often rewarded with better stats when the next update is released.</p>\n\n<p>Consider, for instance, <a href=\"https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/a/antetgi01.html\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Giannis Antetokounmpo</a> who was the recipient of the 2021 Bill Russell NBA Finals MVP award. Antetokounmpo then earned a whopping rating of 97 in NBA 2K23, making him the top-rated star in the game. Back in the 2017/18 season, he was rated at 91.</p>\n\n<p>Some of the other past MVPs include LeBron James in 2020, who has a rating of 96, Kawhi Leonard in 2019, who now has a rating of 95, and Kevin Durant in 2018, who is rated at 96 in the game.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"videogame-players-can-play-out-scenarios-to-predict-a-winner\">Videogame Players Can Play Out Scenarios to Predict a Winner</h3>\n\n<p>Everyone loves to predict who they think is going to win the NBA playoffs, and one of the best ways to do this is to play out the various scenarios on NBA 2K23.</p>\n\n<p>At the end of the regular season, it’s easy to set up a tournament using the NBA playoffs schedule with all the NBA playoffs teams and play with friends until a winner is determined.</p>\n\n<p>If you set up <a href=\"/en/games/genre/pvp-games/\">PVP</a> matches and play against people at a similar skill level, it’s likely that the sides with the best stats will make it to the final and you can generate a reasonably accurate prediction. Do you think you can work out which team is going to be crowned victor?</p>\n\n<p>You could simulate it multiple times to see who has the best chance.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Enjoy & make new memories with the NBA playoffs\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/nba-playoffs-5.webp\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"enjoy-the-nba-playoffs-2022\">Enjoy the NBA Playoffs 2022</h2>\n\n<p>There’s no doubt that the NBA playoffs is the most exciting time of the year for basketball fans.

Twitch emotes are an opportunity to help viewers feel engaged and as though they're part of a unified community.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>It doesn’t matter what kind of games you stream, custom Twitch emotes aligned with your channel’s theme are proven to drive engagement.</p>\n\n<p>If you’re completely new to the concept of Twitch emotes, you’ll be fascinated to learn that there's a whole new world of expressions, moods and poses to explore. Viewers can use these to interact with you and your fellow viewers in real-time.</p>\n\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Twitch Emotes help interact with others viewers\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/twitch-emotes-3.webp\" /></h2>\n\n<h2>The Two Types of Twitch Emotes</h2>\n\n<p>First and foremost, <strong>it's important to note that there are two types of emotes Twitch viewers will be familiar with</strong>, both of which can be used by streamers and viewers alike to express their feelings within the live chat box:</p>\n\n<h3>Global Emotes</h3>\n\n<p>Global Twitch emotes can be used by any user on the Twitch platform. They are the more generic emotes and expressions that would be relevant in almost any live gamer’s Twitch stream. We’re talking emotes like the :LUL: laughter emote or the :HeyGuys: greeting.</p>\n\n<p>None of the global emotes available to Twitch users are original to you or any channel, although they can come in handy if you want to quickly get a message across.</p>\n\n<h3>Custom Emotes</h3>\n\n<p>Custom-made Twitch emotes are some of the most in-demand animations and expressions on Twitch right now. As the platform’s popularity has soared in recent years, so too has the number of Twitch communities surrounding individual live streamers.</p>\n\n<p>Streamers can design Twitch animated emotes that incorporate a flavor of their channel, keeping everything consistently on-brand.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Express yourself more freely with Twitch Emotes for any occasion\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/twitch-emotes-2.webp\" /></p>\n\n<h2>What Are the Most Popular Twitch Emotes?</h2>\n\n<p>For any avid gamer, be it <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmorpg-games/\">MMORPGs</a> or <a href=\"/en/games/genre/casual-games/\">casual games</a> they're into, the best place to keep an eye on the most used Twitch emotes is StreamElements.</p>\n\n<p>Essentially, this portal monitors the usage of <em>all</em> Twitch animated emotes, which is particularly useful as there are trends that see emotes come in and out of vogue.</p>\n\n<p>For example, at the time of writing, the :forsenE: custom emote designed for Swedish video gamer <a href=\"https://www.twitch.tv/forsen\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Sebastian \"Forsen\" Fors</a>, is the most popular emote on the Twitch platform. It has been used over 8.5 billion times, according to StreamElements.</p>\n\n<p>This far outweighs the second and third most popular Twitch emotes - :homyLol: (6.9 billion times) and :triHard: (3.79 billion times).</p>\n\n<p>The main reason that :forsenE: remains the most popular emote is that Fors’ viewers regularly use the emote to spam rival gamer streams. It turns out to be hugely effective marketing for Fors, too!</p>\n\n<p>It's likely, however, that Fors' dominance won't remain constant and that another gamer will knock him off his spot within the foreseeable future. Such is the nature of competitive gaming.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Twitch Emotes make it easier to convey your true feelings\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/twitch-emotes-4.webp\" /></p>\n\n<h2>Are Twitch Emotes Free?</h2>\n\n<p><strong>There are loads of free Twitch emotes</strong> that you can download and incorporate into your Twitch chat. Twitch itself gives live streamers starting out over 120 free Twitch emotes for use, which are easily downloadable via the Subscriber Emote page on the Twitch platform.</p>\n\n<p>These can not only be used as Twitch emotes, but they can also serve as sub-badges for channel subscribers. It doesn’t cost you a penny to make and use your own Twitch emotes either, so this is another way to keep a lid on your channel’s overheads.</p>\n\n<h2>How to Make Twitch Emotes</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/01cgIrq0wUc\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>When it comes to designing your own custom emotes for a Twitch community, you need to think about the types of emotes that will resonate best with your viewers. One way to brainstorm is to ask your viewers outright what kind of custom emotes they would enjoy using.</p>\n\n<p>In fact, by bringing your community into the design process, you’re almost <em>guaranteeing </em>the success of your custom emotes from the moment they drop into your live chat box.</p>\n\n<p>Twitch has definitive guidelines for what it accepts as “standard” and “animated\" Twitch emotes:</p>\n\n<h3>Standard Emotes</h3>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>All images should be designed in .png format</li>\n\t<li>Single PNG sizes between 112x112px and 4096x4096px – or three separate image sizes of 28x28px, 56x56px and 112x112px</li>\n\t<li>All standard emotes must be square</li>\n\t<li>File sizes cannot be more than 1MB</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h3>Animated Emotes</h3>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>All images should be designed in .gif format</li>\n\t<li>Single PNG sizes between 112x112px and 4096x4096px – or three separate image sizes of 28x28px, 56x56px and 112x112px</li>\n\t<li>All animated emotes must be square Animated GIFs can include no more than 60 frames</li>\n\t<li>Animations cannot flicker or flash for over three times per second</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>How to Design Twitch Animated Emotes</h2>\n\n<p>If you want to know exactly how to make emotes for Twitch channels, it ultimately depends on your innate creativity and budget. If you have the funds to do so, you could look to use a freelance designer or artist to do the legwork.</p>\n\n<p>Alternatively, you could use industry-leading software yourself to get the job done.</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>\n\t<h3>Outsource your emotes</h3>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>There are plenty of willing freelance graphic designers out there that’ll take on your project to design custom Twitch emotes for your channel. Twitch has its own Art Section where you can find a suitable designer, while plenty of freelance portals are jam-packed with creatives waiting for your project to be advertised.</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>\n\t<h3>Create your own Twitch emotes using software</h3>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>There are free online sites that can help you put together animated emotes, but if you can afford the software, high-end solutions like Adobe Photoshop come in very handy.</p>\n\n<h2>How to Incorporate Custom Twitch Emotes Into a Channel</h2>\n\n<p>Once your new custom emotes are ready and waiting to rock, you’ll need to upload them to your Twitch channel. This is a quick and painless process, carried out via your channel’s dashboard.</p>\n\n<p>Head over to your dashboard and seek the “Affiliate/Partners Settings” tab. Tap on the “Emotes” link and upload your emotes. Once uploaded, hit the “Save Changes” button and the emotes will be housed within your library for future live streams.

Assassin’s Creed III</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/-pUhraVG7Ow\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Assassin’s Creed III is set in Native America, amid the Revolutionary War. The <em>fifth </em>major release from the Assassin’s Creed franchise, Assassin’s Creed III follows protagonist Connor Kenway, the ancestor of series protagonist Desmond Miles, in his fight to assume overall control of the colonies.</p>\n\n<p>The beauty of this release – and with so many of the Assassin’s Creed titles – is the open-world style, giving you the ability to explore 18th century Boston and New York City on foot from a third-person viewpoint during your 4th of July holiday.</p>\n\n<p><em>Word of caution:</em> it's fair to say that the United States isn’t painted in the saintliest of lights in this game, so if you're looking for a more uptempo and lighthearted play, it may be worth looking at another title.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"2.-madden-nfl-22\">2. Madden NFL 22</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/htZxwfGARGk\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p><a href=\"/en/blog/football-video-games\">American Football</a> is <em>undoubtedly </em>the most popular sport in the US, so 4th of July would be weird without a spot of gridiron! Madden NFL 22 is the latest available version of the Madden series, with <a href=\"https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/patriots/madden-nfl-23-leaked-ratings-99-club-members-and-release-date#:~:text=Madden%20NFL%2023%3A%20Leaked%20ratings%2C%2099%20club%20members%20and%20release%20date,-Jul%2022%2C%202022&text=The%20release%20date%20for%20Madden,19%2C%202022.\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">NFL 23 slated for release</a> in August ahead of the new season.</p>\n\n<p>It's no surprise that quarterbacks Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes star in a joint cover of this release as the formidable pair have remained on the lips of all football fans since Super Bowl LV.</p>\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing additions to Madden NFL 22 was the “home field advantage” system. Home teams were given the ability to generate “momentum credits”.</p>\n\n<p>The home crowd get louder and harder behind their team and the stamina of away teams is sapped faster than in previous versions. It’s an interesting take, with home advantage counting more heavily in real life too.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"3.-grand-theft-auto-v\">3. Grand Theft Auto V</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/QkkoHAzjnUs\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>The 2013 release of Grand Theft Auto V was an absolute hit with American gamers. In fact, it was still comfortably in the top ten of unit sales in the US as recently as 2020. Although it might be a somewhat strange choice as a patriotic 4th of July game, hear us out.</p>\n\n<p>Rockstar Games used this iteration to shine a spotlight on the harsh realities of the so-called “American Dream”. There is a sense of tongue-in-cheek about the pursuit of the American Dream.</p>\n\n<p>The game includes cynical get-rich-quick opportunities and parades celebrating the stars and stripes, alongside gunfights and carjacking. Like Assassin’s Creed, GTA V is another open-world game, allowing you to roam the fictional streets of Los Santos (Los Angeles).</p>\n\n<p>If you're looking for additional games available for <a href=\"/en/games/category/download-games/\">download</a>, you should also consider the all-action GTA Online multiplayer mode to get your teeth stuck into, ahead of 4th of July 2023.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"4.-red-dead-redemption\">4. Red Dead Redemption</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/-o7rES_3ymA\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Although everyone is talking about its prequel right now, Red Dead Redemption could just be<em> the perfect</em> 4th of July video game.</p>\n\n<p>Set amid the collapse of the American frontier in the early 20th century, you take charge of protagonist, John Marston. Marston is enraged at having lost his wife and son, who were taken hostage by the government while he worked for them as a “gun for hire”.</p>\n\n<p>This third-person game sees you explore much of western US and North Mexico on foot and horseback. An in-built morality system – influenced by the decisions you take with Marston – can build his in-game honor and reputation.</p>\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the “Dead Eye” shooting mechanic makes it possible to tackle multiple enemies in slow motion. It’s one of the finest video games of the modern era.</p>\n\n<p>Its development team at Rockstar San Diego spent time visiting historical US landmarks to get a feel for the environment. With unnerving realism, this is one of the elite action-adventure <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPGs</a> and a sure-fire winner for gamers on 4th of July.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"5.-mlb-the-show\">5. MLB The Show</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/D5o1y9qDVNc\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>We all know how we Americans love our sports, so we thought it prudent to squeeze <em>a second </em>sports sim into our 4th of July games list.</p>\n\n<p>MLB: The Show has been a celebration of Major League Baseball ever since its inaugural release in February 2006. It remains the <em>only </em>MLB baseball sim available on console and desktop. MLB: The Show 22 is the latest release, hitting the shelves in April this year.</p>\n\n<p>It was the first of the franchise to be made available on a Nintendo console – the Nintendo Switch – having been exclusively on Sony PlayStation and Microsoft’s Xbox suite of consoles.</p>\n\n<p>The latest iteration has received warm reviews from the industry and baseball fans alike.

It has rapidly grown into a gaming behemoth – the largest gaming and entertainment expo in China, or anywhere else on the continent!</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>In China, over 500,000,000 people play video games. In 2018, almost<em> a quarter</em> of the global gaming industry’s $100B revenue was derived from mainland China, making it the unofficial “Gaming Capital of the World”.</p>\n\n<p>It has been a real sea change for the Chinese gaming industry in the last two decades.</p>\n\n<p>In 2000, China announced a blanket ban on the use of video gaming consoles, in fear of their impact on the next generation. 15 years later, this ban was eventually lifted, exposing Chinese gamers to a whole new world of next-generation console gaming.</p>\n\n<p>However, the prohibition of console gaming between 2000 and 2015 created a new “black market” for desktop gamers, with PC games allowed to be hosted at internet cafes across the country.</p>\n\n<p>This ushered in a new wave of <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmorpg-games/\">MMORPG games</a>, led by gaming companies that are a tour de force of the Chinese market, including <a href=\"https://www.tencent.com/en-us/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Tencent</a> and <a href=\"https://www.neteasegames.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">NetEase</a>.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/nEtmZnFAJv4\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2>The History of the ChinaJoy Expo</h2>\n\n<p>Despite the prohibition of video gaming in China between 2000 and 2015, the nation played host to ChinaJoy from its inauguration in 2004. In 2022, the China Joy organization bids to celebrate its 20th year.</p>\n\n<p>Each year, as desktop and online gaming grew in popularity during the ban on consoles, the biggest gaming companies on the planet have sought to forge new links with China. ChinaJoy has proven to be the perfect mediator.</p>\n\n<p>Offshore publishers have increasingly sought to work collaboratively with domestic developers to not only raise exposure but deliver a localized version of their western games.</p>\n\n<p>In 2019 – the last ChinaJoy Expo pre-pandemic – three of the biggest gaming publishers made their mark. Nintendo, Ubisoft, and Sony all featured heavily, with a dedicated remit to build lucrative, localized versions of established franchises.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/chinajoy-2.webp\" /></p>\n\n<h3>Localizing Western Games </h3>\n\n<p>Sony confirmed that they would localize several of their main franchise titles that have been such a hit in the western market, most notably NBA 2K2, Shenmue 3, and Sangokushi 14. It was a similar story from Nintendo too.</p>\n\n<p>The Japanese firm even went as far as displaying the localized versions of their most popular western games at ChinaJoy 2019, committing to a bigger suite of console games to be made available in Simplified Chinese.</p>\n\n<p>At ChinaJoy 2019, Ubisoft’s CEO, Yves Guillemot, insisted he would love to see a mainline Assassin’s Creed release set within historic mainland China.</p>\n\n<p>Contrary to popular belief, Guillemot did not commit to such a plan, but his mention of it being a possibility served as further proof of the collective gaze of publishers toward the lucrative Chinese gaming market.</p>\n\n<h3>Simplified Chinese in Western Games</h3>\n\n<p>Gaming localization in Simplified Chinese is a strategy that’s already starting to pay off in a big way for several gaming studios.</p>\n\n<p>CDPR unveiled The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in Simplified Chinese, while Cyberpunk 2077 was also supplied with exclusive Simplified Chinese voiceovers and subtitles to create a relatable and immersive experience for gamers.</p>\n\n<p>The <strong>big difference between ChinaJoy and western gaming expos is that developers and publishers alike have to work harder in Asia</strong>. They already have a loyal and consistent customer base in the west.</p>\n\n<p>However, a steady approach to localization in the Chinese market is already starting to pay dividends.</p>\n\n<h3>ChinaJoy - A Gateway to the Asian Market</h3>\n\n<p>Polish game development studio, 11 Bit Studios, which successfully launched one of 2014’s best war survival <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPG games</a>, This War of Mine, experienced slow but steady growth in China-based sales as a consequence of localizing the game to the Simplified Chinese market.</p>\n\n<p>In 2013, sales from China represented a mere 1% of the title’s outright revenues. By 2018, the country was generating almost <em>a quarter</em> of its revenues from here.</p>\n\n<p>Investing in events like ChinaJoy is akin to playing the long game for overseas gaming companies. These firms need to forge trusted, cost-effective relationships with Chinese partners that can deliver premium quality dubbing and translation that’s hyper-relevant to Chinese culture.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/FkWp_Z7Jbtg\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2>When is ChinaJoy 2022?</h2>\n\n<p>While ChinaJoy 2021 proved to be a rip-roaring success at the Shanghai New International Expo Center, Chinese gamers and global gaming companies have been left disappointed by the news that ChinaJoy 2022 is to be hosted <em>exclusively online</em>.</p>\n\n<p>The re-emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic in mainland China has seen the event’s organizers pull the plug and stage the 20th anniversary of ChinaJoy on the web.</p>\n\n<p>The ChinaJoy Organizing Committee unanimously agreed to postpone the offline event, but quickly devised a new plan to host 2022’s gaming innovation in the metaverse.</p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">ChinaJoy officially announced that the 21st ChinaJoy was postponed.<a href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/ChinaJoy?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ChinaJoy</a> <a href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/Shanghai?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Shanghai</a><br />\n<br />\nIt was scheduled to be held from July 29th to Aug. 1st, 2022 in Shanghai.

Check out our guide below to find out how video game music can become seriously iconic!</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-video-game-sheet-music?\">What is Video Game Sheet Music?</h2>\n\n<p>Video game music, aka VGM, is the soundtrack that plays from the start until the end of a game. Early video game music was monotone and limited to simple tunes due to memory constraints.</p>\n\n<p>Early video game discs and cartridges only contained a single sound chip, such as a programmable sound generator (PSG), meaning there wasn’t much capacity to compose complex tunes.</p>\n\n<p>So when video game sheet music was first written, it was little more than simple synthesized beats. This 8-bit music, or chiptunes as they came to be known, were catchy. However, it didn’t set the mood in quite the same way as modern video game sheet music.</p>\n\n<p>Today, when you play the latest <a href=\"/en/games/genre/pvp-games/\">PvP</a>, for example, there are complex sounds that have an almost cinematic quality - in fact, that’s why video game music is described as a soundtrack.</p>\n\n<p>In both film and video games, a soundtrack is music that’s synchronized with specific images/video sequences in order to heighten and intensify the tension, drama, or any other emotion the creators want an audience to feel.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Video game music manipulates our feelings\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/video-game-music-4.webp\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"how-does-music-move-us?\">How Does Music Move Us?</h2>\n\n<p>Music moves everyone in different ways. However, the <a href=\"https://www.soundstripe.com/blogs/the-psychology-of-music\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">psychology of musical notes</a> and melodies tells us that we are moved by certain tunes. From a biological perspective, our brains start tuning into sounds in the womb.</p>\n\n<p><strong>From the 16th week of incubation, we’re already being shaped by sounds!</strong> This continues throughout our lives. Scientists have identified various parts of the brain that respond to music, but the five most responsive are:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>The Hippocampus</li>\n\t<li>The Frontal Lobe</li>\n\t<li>The Temporal Lobe</li>\n\t<li>The Amygdala</li>\n\t<li>The Cerebellum</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Each part of the brain responds differently. For example, lyrics are processed and understood in the temporal lobe.</p>\n\n<p>The amygdala deals with emotion. Basically, each part of the brain filters sound and music in a specific way and this contributes to our personal interpretation of it. The end result is a certain reaction.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Oftentimes overlooked, video game music is an essential part of any game!\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/video-game-music-2.webp\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-type-of-music-is-used-in-video-games?\">What Type of Music is Used in Video Games?</h2>\n\n<p>So, after establishing that we react in certain ways to music, and that it is used to influence our emotions, what <em>types </em>of music are common in video games? And, building on this, where can you find video game soundtracks?</p>\n\n<p>Looking at the types of music you’ll find in video games, the genres fall into two main categories: linear and adaptive.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Linear video game music plays continuously during a scene or in a setting</strong>. For example, when you start the game, there may be an introductory soundtrack that plays on a look. Linear video game music isn’t affected by your gameplay.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Adaptive video game music changes based on the situation and/or your actions</strong>. In other words, the music adapts and interacts with the game engine. For example, if you enter a fight sequence, a certain type of music might kick in or speed up.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"There are plenty of reasons for Video Game music being called a Soundtrack\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/video-game-music-3.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p>Within these two general categories, there are three main types of video game music:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><strong>Diegetic: This music emanates from an identifiable source within the environment you’re in.</strong> For example, if a car drives past and the radio is on, this would be a diegetic piece of music. What you’ll notice with this type of video game music is that it moves in line with the current dynamics. So, as the car gets closer, the music gets louder and, as it drives away, it gets quieter.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Extra-Diegetic: This type of video game music is also known as the underscore because it underpins a scene/setting</strong>. You can think of extra-diegetic music as background tunes that play while you’re performing a task. For example, this type of music might be playing while you walk from one scenario to another or when you engage in a battle.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Gameplay: This video game music is controlled by you (i.e. the player). You become the source of the music</strong>. For example, in Guitar Hero, you’re the person making the music.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-the-most-iconic-video-game-music?\">What is the Most Iconic Video Game Music?</h2>\n\n<p>That’s a great question, but it’s a tough one to answer! We’ve already established that video game music is an essential ingredient in the entertainment equation.</p>\n\n<p>However, when you open up the video game music archive and attempt to pick out the top tracks, things get tricky. Why? Because the tunes that <em>Person A</em> might class as the best video game music aren’t the ones <em>Person B</em> would choose.</p>\n\n<p>This is why we can’t simply say: here’s the best video game music. What we can do, however, is offer some <em>suggestions </em>based on different settings.</p>\n\n<p>For example, if you’re playing <a href=\"/en/games/genre/action-games/\">action games</a>, there will be a certain type of music that suits you. If you want to use video game music for studying, there are suitable tracks for that.</p>\n\n<p>Basically, by breaking things down into categories, it becomes slightly easier to search through the video game music archive and select some hits.</p>\n\n<p>So, to conclude, here are six tracks that, in our opinion, should be listed among the best video game music offerings of all time:</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"video-game-music-for-studying\">Video Game Music for Studying</h3>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/C9DbKkX5mDE\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>If you want something that’s calming, and playful, but not too intrusive while you study, check out the Piano Collections from Final Fantasy 7.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"video-game-music-for-action-titles\">Video Game Music for Action Titles</h3>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/57jIlw6HmCE\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>For a moving, haunting, and moody musical experience, try the soundtrack from Shadow Of The Colossus.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"video-game-music-for-pvp-titles\">Video Game Music for PvP Titles</h3>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/6p_a1SYs6Gs\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>PvP games are all about changing momentum, so you need a soundtrack that can go from calm to energetic.

VA-11 HALL-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/EZimx2-lmQg\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>This is another one of those life simulation games that so masterfully capture the experience of a specific profession, while also including some otherworldly elements and no shortage of social commentary.</p>\n\n<p>Cyberpunk Bartender Action puts you in the shoes of a smart-mouthed bartender in a dystopian future, where you learn more about the world you inhabit through the motley crew of customers that come through your doors.</p>\n\n<p>You might also learn a thing or two about mixology, while you're at it.</p>\n\n<h2>2. Animal Crossing: New Horizons</h2>\n\n<p>What is the best life simulation game? For us, it's a game that manages to capture the complex, ever-changing relationships we have with those around us, while also building a compelling world that feels like the one we all inhabit.</p>\n\n<p>This balance was struck perfectly with the latest Animal Crossing release, New Horizons. This game takes all of the things we love about the original and vastly increases your options, allowing you to build a life on the island that is truly whatever you wish to make it.</p>\n\n<h2>1. The Sims 2</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/t9u1zMCos8w\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>What is the number one simulation game? To receive this title, you need a game that gives you as broad a range of realistic options and interactions as possible.</p>\n\n<p>It also needs to capture the milestones and the often hilarious everyday interactions that comprise the human experience.</p>\n\n<p>For us, that game is the Sims 2. While some will not agree that this life simulation game is the best entry in the series, we believe that it captures the realism that simulation games should aspire to better than any other.</p>\n\n<p>Build your dream home, wreck your marriage with an affair, start a side hustle, and feud with your siblings over your inheritance. In The Sims 2, you can go your own way.</p>\n\n<h2>Simulation Games Blurring Between Genres</h2>\n\n<p>These are our top picks for life simulation games that you absolutely need to try, part of the reason being that none could fit under one single genre.</p>\n\n<p>This means that fans of almost any genre might find a good fit in one of the games above.

Well, the first thing to note is that, when most people talk about it, they are probably talking about San Diego Comic Con, or SDCC for short.</p>\n\n<p>Also known as the International Comic Con, this is the hallowed event that takes place at the San Diego Convention Center. It is often the staging ground for some of the biggest announcements and unveilings in the industry.</p>\n\n<p>It is the place where Marvel might screen <a href=\"https://deadline.com/2022/06/marvel-studios-sets-comic-con-return-1235051786/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">a new film trailer</a> for the first time, or where DC might unveil a new Batman comic book storyline.</p>\n\n<p>Basically, for all of the biggest events relating to comics and surrounding media, <strong>SDCC is the place to watch</strong>.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Get ready to see a ton of cosplay at Comic Con 2022!\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/comic-con-5.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p>It's worth noting that the event is also known for its attendees. Every year, <strong>more than 150,000 people will attend the event over the course of four days</strong>, often dressed as their favorite superheroes, characters from <a href=\"/en/games/genre/action-games/\">action games</a>, or Marvel memes.</p>\n\n<p>Oftentimes, the incredibly detailed Comic Con costumes will garner as much headline attention as the speakers themselves.</p>\n\n<h2>San Diego Comic Con 2022</h2>\n\n<p>So, what can attendees expect for 2022? As per usual,<strong> the event will be taking place at the San Diego Convention Center from July 21 to July 24</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>If you're wondering how much it would cost to go to Comic Con 2022, it's worth noting that all tickets, known as \"badges\", are currently <strong>sold out</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>However, canceled and returned badges are constantly being made available on the <a href=\"https://www.comic-con.org/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">SDCC website</a>, so keep an eye out if you haven't snapped one up yet.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Single-day badges range from $45 to $55 a piece, while a full four-day badge costs $254</strong>, a minor increase on previous years.</p>\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the Comic Con Museum will feature a much-anticipated, sprawling retrospective on the Spiderman franchise (starting July 20), making this a must-visit for Spidey fans.</p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Comic-Con welcomes its sixth wave of special guests for 2022, added to the 30 previously announced names: <a href=\"https://t.co/YGSgLj6lXT\">https://t.co/YGSgLj6lXT</a> <a href=\"https://t.co/E4p1DmMaGW\">pic.twitter.com/E4p1DmMaGW</a></p>\n— San Diego Comic-Con (@Comic_Con) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/Comic_Con/status/1534988757161721874?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 9, 2022</a></blockquote>\n<script async src=\"https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"></script>\n\n<p>In addition, SDCC keeps releasing names of some of the Special Guests as the event nears and progresses.</p>\n\n<p>These are some the top names that have been confirmed for the 2022 Comic Con:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Gilbert & Jaime Hernandez: Creators, Love & Rockets</li>\n\t<li>Kevin Maguire: Artist, Captain America, Guardians of the Galaxy, Team Titans</li>\n\t<li>Jim Benton: Author, Attack of the Stuff, Catwad, Dear Dumb Diary</li>\n\t<li>Phil Lamarr: Actor, Mad TV, Futurama, Family Guy, Futurama, Veep</li>\n\t<li>Amy Chu: Writer, Rick & Morty, Green Hornet, DOTA: Dragon's Blood</li>\n\t<li>Scott Snyder: Writer, Batman, Justice League, American Vampire</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p> </p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Be still my beating, geeky heart 🖤 Swooning because Freddie Prinze Jr. (90s heartthrob Zack Siler from She’s All That, Fred Jones from Scooby-Doo, Kanan Jarrus from Star Wars Rebels) is coming to NYCC.<br />\n<br />\nMeet Freddie Oct 8-9 for Photo Ops & Autographs: <a href=\"https://t.co/YKJiDkLXyh\">https://t.co/YKJiDkLXyh</a> <a href=\"https://t.co/CUvmDrpImV\">pic.twitter.com/CUvmDrpImV</a></p>\n— New York Comic Con (@NY_Comic_Con) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/NY_Comic_Con/status/1537842455227338752?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 17, 2022</a></blockquote>\n<script async src=\"https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"></script>\n\n<h2>New York Comic Con 2022</h2>\n\n<p><strong>New York Comic Con is also back with a bang, returning to the Javits Center on October 6-9, 2022</strong>.

It will likely be live-streamed on Twitch as well, but you will be able to attend TwitchCon in the flesh.</p>\n\n<h2>When is TwitchCon 2022 & Where Will it Be?</h2>\n\n<p>The first of the two events for TwitchCon this year takes place in <strong>Amsterdam, Netherlands</strong>, <strong>from July 16th to 17th at the RAI Amsterdam Convention Centre.</strong></p>\n\n<p>From <strong>October 7th to 9th, TwitchCon returns to the San Diego Convention Center.</strong></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Twitchcon 2022 is back IRL!\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/twitch-con-3.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p>Both venues were those penned in for the canceled TwitchCon 2020. </p>\n\n<p>This year’s TwitchCon will be as big and popular as it was before its pandemic-induced hiatus, and perhaps even bigger.

A <strong>two-day ticket costs €108 ($115)</strong>, while a <strong>one-day ticket for either Saturday or Sunday is set at €65 ($70)</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>The tickets grant you access to Community MeetUps, Twitch Rivals, Meet & Greets, the Loot Cave, give a Chat Badge, and a Swag Bag.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Get ready for some fierce cosplay at TwitchCon 2022!\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/twitch-con-5.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p>For Amsterdam, you can <strong>pick up your badges from midday on July 15</strong>, or from 9 am on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, the Expo Hall & Rivals, Loot Cave, Content, and Drag Showcase finish at 7 pm, with there also being an Opening Ceremony at 11 am.</p>\n\n<p>On Sunday, there’s also the Cosplay Contest from 3 pm as well as TwitchCon Public Access from 5 pm to closing.</p>\n\n<p>Already listed as coming to TwitchCon in Europe are <strong>OllyBOT</strong>, <strong>Midnan</strong>, <strong>Shyphoebe</strong>, <strong>JustTrashee</strong>, <strong>Stallion</strong>, <strong>Rockzii</strong>, <strong>Daniellippens</strong>, and many more.

So, first, the Amsterdam TwitchCon from May 2nd to 3rd was canceled, and later, so too was the September 25th to 27th San Diego TwitchCon 2020.</p>\n\n<p>In its place, Twitch decided to revert back to its internet-based origins, bringing TwitchCon exclusively to its vast online platform. On November 14, <strong>GlitchCon proved to be an incredible success</strong>. According to <a href=\"https://www.thegamer.com/glitchcon-over-6-7-million-viewers/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">The Gamer</a>, 6.7 million people watched the event, with a peak of 175,000 concurrent viewers.</p>\n\n<p>While live and in-person TwitchCon events of the past have been superb, GlitchCon 2020 was a real tour de force, showcasing that Twitch is unrivaled in its online field.</p>\n\n<p>Over the course of 12 hours, there were 20 segments, popular streamers, professional gamers, and celebrities. In attendance were <strong>Pokimane, Zedd, and T-Pain</strong>, with the latter hosting a virtual after-party.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/kvyiYbsY1h0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2>TwitchCon to Bounce Back in 2022?</h2>\n\n<p>GlitchCon 2020 proved to be a huge success, but <strong>Twitch decided to completely cancel TwitchCon in 2021</strong>.

Of course, in reality, it means much more than that to so many people who devote their hours to the worlds, stories, and competitions that it creates.</p>\n\n<p>More importantly, gaming brings people together from all walks of life into exciting communities.</p>\n\n<p>{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>However, almost since its inception, gaming has had an image problem: one propelled by stereotypes that, unfortunately, do regularly get reinforced by gamers and the industry. This stereotype is that it’s for young, white, cis males.</p>\n\n<p>When you look at the industry hierarchy and prominent characters, it’s easy to see why.</p>\n\n<p>As gaming is so immersive, compelling, and accessible, though, the stereotype was never going to hold up in reality.</p>\n\n<p>Increasingly so, people who defy the stereotype are reaching the peak of the gaming scene, with one of the most prominent of these almost-anti-establishment communities being that of the <strong>gaymer</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>To celebrate the revolutionary efforts of the gaymer community, we’re delving into what it means to be a gaymer, how prominent gaymers are changing the industry for the better, and the LGBT video games that have broken out.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/KHg0flHgYX8\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2>What Does Gaymer Mean?</h2>\n\n<p><strong>Gaymer is a portmanteau of “gay” and “gamer”</strong>, referring to someone who identifies as homosexual and enjoys playing video games (either casually or as a hardcore player).</p>\n\n<p>Nowadays, the term extends to represent the LGBT community as a whole, meaning that “gaymer” can include anyone whose self-identification falls under <a href=\"https://uwm.edu/lgbtrc/wp-content/uploads/sites/162/2021/07/LGBTRC-Gender-Graphic-1.png\" target=\"_blank\">the LGBT umbrella</a>, such as queer, non-binary or trans people.</p>\n\n<h2>Who Is Considered a Gaymer?</h2>\n\n<p>Essentially, a \"Gaymer\" encompasses all gamers who don't consider themselves heterosexual and / or cisgender, and take part in the gaming community, in any numbers of ways, such as by playing video games, competing in competitions, making games, and partaking in gaming communities </p>\n\n<h3>Members of the Gayming Community</h3>\n\n<p>While gaymer culture and gaymers are still wildly underrepresented across the industry, people and events are making a big difference. The online community has become manifest in the real world with <a href=\"https://gaymerx.org/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">GaymerX</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Having started in 2013, the annual conference brings the gaymer community together, often welcoming thousands of fans through its gates.</p>\n\n<p>As you’ll know, it’s the individual gamers who come out to proclaim their gaymer-ness who make the biggest difference for awareness and representation.

The name is a shortened version of June 19th, though this date is not always the day of celebration. Juneteenth 2022 will take place on Sunday, June 19th this year.</p>\n\n<p>{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2>Why Is It Called Juneteenth?</h2>\n\n<p>On September 22nd, 1862, Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. It stated that as of the following January, in 1863, any person who was still living in enslaved states that were engaged in rebellion against the Union would be free.</p>\n\n<p>While this was a huge step towards freedom, it only applied to those living in the confederacy. <a href=\"https://aaregistry.org/story/the-first-black-watch-night-service-occurs-in-america/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Freedom’s Eve</a> took place on January 1st, 1863. African Americans gathered together, awaiting the night when the Emancipation Proclamation would come into law.</p>\n\n<p>When it did, they held church services and marched across the country, spreading the good news. For areas that were not under the control of confederate states, it would be a long time before this could become enacted. Texas was the state furthest west and would be the last to benefit.</p>\n\n<p>It would take two and half years for this to happen. Turning up on June 19th, 1865, two thousand troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, and took control of the state. 250,000 Black citizens lived in slavery there, and it was announced that their freedom had arrived.</p>\n\n<p>This is the moment that slavery ended across the United States and is the reason that Juneteenth 2022 gets celebrated every year.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/eWuFpc0RYqI\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2>Is Juneteenth 2022 a National Holiday?</h2>\n\n<p>Juneteenth became an official federal holiday on June 17th, 2021. It is now known as the longest-running African American holiday and the Juneteenth 2022 celebrations take place on the 19th day of the month.</p>\n\n<h2>How to Celebrate Juneteenth 2022</h2>\n\n<p>Celebrations for Juneteenth have been taking place for around 150 years in the US. However, it has only become an official federal holiday recently. The first state to observe it was Texas when it became an official state holiday in 1980.</p>\n\n<p>New York signed it into law in 2020, and it became a federal holiday one year later in 2021.</p>\n\n<p>As it is a new holiday, it does not have the institutionalized traditions that other holidays do. Many people choose to celebrate in a range of diverse ways. Like most American holidays, this often involves food, BBQ, and fireworks.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Juneteenth - Photo by Tasha Jolley\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/juneteenth-2.webp\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 512px;\" /></p>\n\n<address>Photo by <a href=\"https://unsplash.com/@jolleytasha?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText\">Tasha Jolley</a> on <a href=\"https://unsplash.com/?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash</a></address>\n\n<p>Dressing in red, black, and green for the day is a common tradition, and Juneteenth decorations may also contain these colors, which are representative of African people across the world and their descendants.</p>\n\n<p>This red theme carries on into the food people eat and drink. Red velvet cakes, strawberry soda, and watermelon also commemorate the day.</p>\n\n<p>When enslaved Africans came to the United States and South Caribbean, hibiscus tea and kola nut tea were two drinks brought with them. Red beverages are a nod to this, as well as representing the blood of those enslaved or those who lost their lives.</p>\n\n<p>Others may choose to celebrate Juneteenth 2022 looking to the future, and supporting local businesses and innovations is a practical way to do this.</p>\n\n<h2>How Do We Celebrate Juneteenth in the Gaming Industry?</h2>\n\n<p>There is no official way to celebrate Juneteenth in the video game industry. There are outstanding African American and Black characters in games, along with the excellent staff who make them happen, but there is still a way to go.</p>\n\n<p>If it was not for the contribution of innovators like Gerald \"Jerry\" Lawson, we would not have had the concept of a games cartridge. Lawson and his team were the leaders of the Fairchild Channel F, the first console with removable games.</p>\n\n<p>This has continued through to modern gaming with developers such as Rockstar game's Shawn Alexander Allen, who worked on the Grand Theft Auto series and Red Dead Redemption.</p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Me, about these Black game developer lists:<br />\n“Those feel very strange to me.

Created in 1977, Haith was a founder of the National Juneteenth Celebration Foundation and littered the flag with symbolism.</p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Did you know: The Juneteenth Flag was created by former National Juneteenth Observance Foundation (NJOF) Massachusetts State Director and Founder of the National Juneteenth Celebration Foundation (NJCF), Ben Haith, in 1997. <a href=\"https://t.co/TOBTSfD4QL\">pic.twitter.com/TOBTSfD4QL</a></p>\n— B.L.A.C.

It featured a circle of humans, holding hands facing outward. The sculpture resides at the Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park in Grenada.</p>\n\n<p>Named The Vicissitudes, it is by the artist <a href=\"https://www.underwatersculpture.com/about/biography/?doing_wp_cron=1654081732.7066280841827392578125\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Jason DeCaires Taylor</a>.

The former have won 17 championships, with their most recent coming way back in 2008.</p>\n\n<p>Whilst the latter have won it more recently in 2018, they have only been crowned NBA Champions on five other occasions prior to that.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"why-do-the-nba-playoffs-appeal-to-esports-fans?\">Why do the NBA Playoffs Appeal to eSports Fans?</h2>\n\n<p>Thanks to the high-quality, enhanced graphics that the Eco-Motion engine has brought to the NBA 2K games, there’s little to separate gaming from reality.</p>\n\n<p>The fast-paced nature of basketball makes it the perfect option for a console title, and fans of the game tend to enjoy playing and watching virtual and live versions.</p>\n\n<p>It can also be considered a title within the genre of <a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">strategic games</a>, as players need to set up and manage their teams well in order to be in with a chance of success.</p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"LeBron James was named MVP in 2020\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/nba-playoffs-3.webp\" /></p>\n\n<h3 id=\"mvps-get-improved-stats-in-nba-2k-games\">MVPs get Improved Stats in NBA 2K Games</h3>\n\n<p>A lot of what happens in the real world translates to the NBA 2K games later.
