Gfinity Street Fighter V Challenger Series – Friday 30th June 2017

I entered another one of these online events this week, and sadly it turned out to be a bit of a wash out, as there were many no shows due to the event being rescheduled from Tuesday - when it couldn't go ahead thanks to Capcom's ridiculously awful server management. Because of this, I got …

That feeling when the streamer gets streamed!

After doing a load of test streams myself and of course posting videos and related articles here, I had a very strange experience earlier this week, when I finished a match of SFV online and then saw that my opponent had the title "Streamer" set. "Hmmm" I thought, and I wondered if they were actually …

V For the North!

Remy77077 here; after my best performance to date in a local Street Fighter V tournament last night, I am announcing my new sponsorship from Red Bull. I'm officially fighting FOR THE NORTH! House Remy: BIPSON IS COMING

Insert Dic Joke Here

I've been pretty quiet the last couple of months here on Agoners, but with good reason - it's mainly because I've been able to do a ton of lovely gaming! I entered my first ever Yomi tournament - the International Yomi League Season 4 - to be precise, and I've been having a lot of fun …

Back for more Dantics!

(For how this all got started, read here) Omatase shimashita saikyo fans! I've still been playing Dan whenever I've been on USF4 lately. But I hadn't had any especially good matches for a while that were post-worthy. As my ranking's been rising I've been having some really close fought battles and I've been edging closer …

Yomi: A Grave Decision

When I last wrote about Yomi, I was still very new to the game, but I'd decided to buy a single online character to get me started and to help me learn to play the game. I do think this is definitely the best way to get started at online Yomi, because I feel there's …

Yomi: An Intimidating Introduction?

There's been precious little in the way of competitive video games that have interested me recently. Whilst I've spent time in competitive games of Halo Reach, Street Fighter 2 HD Remix, StarCraft II and even Gears of War 3 lately, none are quite perfect to my taste or are lacking in some way to my …

The XBox Live Fail Update

The Xbox Live Fall Fail Update Late last autumn there was the usual “Fall Update” to Xbox 360s connected to  Xbox Live, this year with the moniker (as is the trend these days) of the “Metro” update. I hoped to write about this when it was more topical, but I wanted to wait until I’d …

FPS Remy

I just played some Halo Reach for the first time in a while. After playing so much of the Gears of War 3 beta, I was really struggling. I really deserved to be in Team Shitty Shotty at this point - I couldn't aim properly at all. I was randomly armour-locking all over the place …

The Revealing Use of Walkthrough Guides

There are a number of ways to tell how and why people play videogames and what type of player they are - are they an Agoner - what I would call an actual gamer - playing entertainment software as actual games and challenges for the kinds of reasons we discuss here, or is it for something …
