Product Review: NVidia Geforce GTX 1080 Ti (11GB)

Released earlier this year, the Geforce GTX 1080 Ti is NVidia’s new flagship gaming graphics card promising to deliver the world’s most advanced GPU architecture. For those of you who do not know, NVidia is one of the leaders in the GPU space, offering a wide number of products catering to all consumers. In this case, NVidia’s Geforce GTX 1080 Ti is absolutely an enthusiast card catering to those willing to spend the extra money to get maximum performance out of their rig. Before buying, my criteria for a new card was being able to play games at 4K resolution, which is 3840 by 2160 pixels (8.3 Million), in addition to being able to power a virtual reality headset. The 1080 Ti fit the bill perfectly, though the price tag of $699.99 can be hard to swallow, consider that this card will be able to perform at a high level for many years to come. So, on the actual review of the card. First, the build quality of the card is great. The card uses the highest-grade materials and looks exception...

Blog Analysis

So, I wanted to dedicate this blog to analyzing a top blog in my niche. I chose to cover the popular blog Esports Marketing. When starting out as one of the smaller blogs, it is important to look at the more successful blogs to see what they offer and how they operate and see if any of what they do can be applied in order to help make your own blog successful. I see that Esports Marketing is well respected and popular so I wondered what they do to achieve this. First, this blog is consistently putting out work that is relevant and engaging. This news is up to date and accurate. This is extremely helpful when wanting to retain an audience over time. In addition to that, their content also is varied, utilizing different types of media, such as Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, to direct traffic to the blog. Also, it appears that there is good engagement by the readers, where they voice their opinion and there is feedback from the blog. Besides the actual blog content, I wanted to discuss the ...

Esports Is a Spectator Sport

I thought this was interesting, a recent blog post by Jurre Pannekeet at Newzoo examines the viewership of esports and what games the viewers are playing. There is a staggering amount of people who are watching esports. It is estimated that through 2017, over 190 million are frequently viewing esports. Compared to years ago, esports has rapidly increased in viewership, especially among millennials. What was interesting about their findings was that while 70% will only watch one particular game, 42% do not play the game which they are spectating. This means that these games are providing viewers with the entertainment without having to become fully invested in a game which may take many hours to become admirable in. These number are indicative of the world of esports being similar to other major spectator sports where the viewer do not play the sport, but still enjoy watching the game. With the massive number of viewers continuing to grow, this bodes well for the health of esports in ...

Product Recommendation: Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds

I was finally able to check a new relatively new game that has been a smash hit, selling over 4 million copies since its release in April. That game is Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds. The game is available on PC and is selling for $29.99. It is important to note this game is early access, meaning that it is not entirely complete and changes and fixes will be continuously implemented as the game nears completion.  So, with that said, let’s get into the premise of the game. Based upon the 2000 Japanese film Battle Royale, the player is dropped onto an island with other players with the sole purpose of eliminating the other players to be the last one surviving. This entails scavenging for weapons and supplies to better one’s chances of survival. Mechanically speaking, the game can be a little difficult to get into for those who are not seasoned PC gamers, but after a few rounds, that subsides and continues to diminish as time goes on. Whether you’re looking for a casual open world an...
