Battlefield 3: The most epic or the most lucky jet flyby, you decide

The key to success is timing and precision guys. Well, that’s what my teacher used to tell me but I believe that, along those things, luck is pretty much essential. You can be the best pilot in the world, but you sure as hell need to be lucky to achieve a dive like the one of the following video. YouTube’s member ‘2cgamingvids’ has witnessed the impossible; an epic jet dive that could very well lead to a crash. That player flying the jet is either one hell of a pilot, or really lucky. Oh, and the ‘jet-drifting’ at the end of this dive was simply amazing. So, what do you think? Epic or extremely lucky? Continue reading Battlefield 3: The most epic or the most lucky jet flyby, you decide

Notch further explains why he does not care about Minecraft’s piracy

In a shocking turn of events, Notch revealed yesterday that it’s okay if people pirate Minecraft. As Minecraft’s developer tweeted yesterday, those who can’t afford to pay for Minecraft can go ahead and pirate it. Just wow. But what does this mean? Is Notch encouraging to pirate his game? Apparently not, as he explained later on that he does not exactly approve it, but thinks that ‘it’s a minor offense in the scale of things‘. Notch was also surprised with how the media responded to his views on piracy. Continue reading Notch further explains why he does not care about Minecraft’s piracy

DSOGaming will join the fight against SOPA and will black-out on January 18th

 

I really wanted my first editorial article – for 2012 – to be about the things that have happened these past months in DSOGaming and its overall progress, but that will have to wait. As you may have heard, members of the House Committee will be discussing PIPA/SOPA in Washington, D.C. Although DSOGaming is not based in USA, we will join the fight against SOPA and will black-out in protest of legislation that would allow DNS and Search Engine Blocking. Hey, we know that we are a relatively small website, but when you do support something, you simply have to show it, right? We strongly suggest every major gaming site to join the fight. This is something that will affect all of us. Why you ask? Wait until you can’t reach our site at all because you won’t have the power to decide what websites you can and cannot reach. Yeah, SOPA is THAT bad. Continue reading DSOGaming will join the fight against SOPA and will black-out on January 18th
