This weeks 20 Questions will be with Dan Mitre (Community Manager Battlefield EA) @dan_mitre As I write this over 159,456 players are playing Battlefield 4 online, just about half the amount who bought the first console Battlefield back in 2005. Compare that to the 11.5 million copies of Battlefield 4 sold across the world you can see that the series has become a giant in the FPS world— if not the giant. While the Battlefield player count will always grow, is the...
Merry Holiday of your choice, nondescript and easily offended gray blobs of the internet. Here’s hoping it gave you joy in a way that brought no pain to others. Except for the jerks who DDoS’d PSN and XBL. You guys just made everyone’s lives a little more miserable. Why? In the past few weeks I’ve done a few things, one of them has been continuing to read. In my long sojourn with The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People I came across something that stood...
Getting slaughtered in the harsh land of Mordor? Yeah, I was having a hard time too. A few moments of letting my guard down, led to the rapid promotion of a couple of captains. The world around me seemed to be growing at a pace I couldn’t keep up with. Outnumbered and under-powered, I decided to restart my journey and pay close attention to the world around, to learn to be the predator and not the prey. Here are some of the ways that I accomplished that. Learn to hunt...
One. Month. It has been one month since I started cutting games back to one day a week, and good things are going down! So let’s start this update with something I am very proud of, something I’ve always wanted to do. With my new found time I was able to go ring the bell for the Salvation Army. I live in a very poor area and so I did not expect to see much come out of my community. I was wrong. In the one hour I rang for (wanted to do more, couldn’t) I saw...

Hello again internet residents! I’ve conquered my first two weeks of this experiment. As I write this I am struck with the same thought that plagued me when I started. “You’re not completely giving up gaming, since you can play once a week. This seems like cheating. This doesn’t seem hard enough.” Well shut up negative me because this is in fact harder than you thought. Addiction. That’s how I would describe my relationship with gaming. I...
…Nintendo has been unable to create a new product that surpasses what they did 13 years ago. Like many of you, we here at LevelSave were chomping at the bits to try out the next iteration in the Super Smash Brothers series. Finally having had some time with the game I noticed something quite peculiar about how important the controls are to the game, specifically the GameCube controller. Preordering the Super Smash Brothers for Wii U bundle that came with...
Hello! My name is Chris Lock and you’re joining me for a personal experiment. I am going to give up games (mostly) for an entire year, just to see what happens. But first a little background as to why I am doing this. A few years ago I started writing for LevelSave, just for fun. The site grew and shrank, as sites do, but kept chugging along all the same. Because of my work I was able to do some stuff I hadn’t thought possible. Namely to interview developers, get...
As with most rogue-likes, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is very tough. From endless assaults of enemies to a single bad room that can take you down to 0 hearts from a full tank of them, there are many situations that will frustrate even the most seasoned players of the genre. Having experienced countless of these scenarios in the past week I decided I would hand out a couple of tips comprised of valuable information I have learned in my time exploring the disturbing world of...
Tripwire Interactive has showed the first of its upcoming sequel, Killing Floor 2, at New York Comic Con this weekend.
