Overwatch Open Beta: My Favourite Characters

Overwatch Open Beta: My Favourite Characters

I fully intended to have one character that I mained, but I quickly discovered Overwatch is not that kind of game. It is better to be able to play a wide variety of characters if you want to play the objective. Unlike TF2 where you could waste time fighting in open spaces, the maps in Overwatch are geared towards the objectives. Space between them serve only as transition areas with hold points…

Change is a great thing.

Change is a great thing. Khareesi.com is my blogging home for gaming now.

Have you noticed? The url for this blog is different. I’ve kind of abandoned this gaming blog in the last part of 2013, and I’ve actually felt a little bad about it. I still love gaming, I still follow the news, but because I stopped working so hard for the competitive TF2 community my interest kind of dropped off when writing was concerned. Yesterday I cut ties with the last of my TF2 comp self,…

The Day I Uninstalled TF2

The Day I Uninstalled TF2

It happened, I uninstalled TF2 and I feel pretty ambivalent about it. For six years Team Fortress 2 has been a huge part of my life, a huge part of my life. And it’s all because I  (deep breath) went to Hull University for the exchange program, was placed in Lambert, became friends with Maria who introduced me to cheerleading, dated Ben who introduced me to Valve games, picked South Korea, dated…

Aisha Tyler gives me hope.

I have been largely inactive on this blog for a reason. Gumbarglompers. I’m not going to waste anymore digital space talking about them but I let them do something awful. I let them ruin talking about games in a public forum for me. Their actions have made me unwilling to be openly passionate about a hobby that has shaped the way my life has turned out. I let them steal a part of me. I’d let…

All aboard the Overwatch Hype Train!

All aboard the @PlayOverwatch Hype Train! Choo Choo!

Introducing Overwatch, the second game that I’m hyped for that’s slated to be released in 2015. Blizzard describes Overwatch as “a team-based shooter where heroes do battle in a world of conflict“, I think it’s best described as Team Fortress 2 (TF2) meets Dota.

It’s pretty obvious by now that I’m a huge TF2 fan, and no matter what…

May: The Month of no TF2

May: The Month of no TF2

Well, the month of no PC games if I’m being honest. But we’re calling it the month of no TF2 because TF2 is the biggest offender.

It has come to my attention that I’m addicted to Team Fortress 2. I love playing the game in all forms, it’s a great stress reliever,  and a seemingly bottomless time sink. The reason I got into the game in the first place was how utterly engrossing and fulfilling it…

This post is just a word of warning to any TF2 players who tend to frequent idle servers and donate to said servers. About a year ago, a player by the name of Marmatote used to run a group and server under the name "Santo Games”.

After a while of being running, Marmatote shut everything down and just disappeared. As of today, I now know why he shut everything down and disappear.

Marmatote (aka “MisterMarmatote") was just on the UNFGaming.net idle server to do nothing but talk shit over his microphone, and during the discussion, he revealed that during the time he ran Santo Games, he made around $600 in donations, then shut everything down.

After being questioned about that, his response was “So I jewed people out of $600 and then shut down the server? So what? I feel good about it". Well most recently, Marmatote has started up….you guessed it, another Steam Group and a new TF2 32-slot idle server under the name "Tesseract Gaming”.

Do not under any circumstances donate to Tesseract Gaming. This is quite obviously another attempt at making easy money off of people which will no doubt end in Tesseract Gaming falling off the map.

According to the Tesseract Gaming website, he is also accepting TF2 items (1 key, 3 keys or 1 Earbuds) in place of actual money, which is again just a ploy to get rich.

MisterMarmatote has in the past been labelled as a scammer on SteamRep (how he got it appealed and why is beyond my knowledge), and this new information about him basically scamming people out of $600 for donations further cements the fact that he is a scammer.

I hate to ask this type of thing, but please spread this around, especially to places like the Steam Community forums, Facepunch, etc.

If this is true this is pretty scummy.

True or not, this story just highlights that we should be careful who we donate to.

Got anything you want to trade in? You get an extra 25% towards Steam Wallet Codes at GAME! Which is pretty handy if you have old console games to trade in ^___^

I love all my games and can't think of any I would trade in. So blegh, no extra monies for me.
