The DeanBeat: How Berlin has become more tolerant than Trump’s America
Maybe they should move the Statue of Liberty to Berlin. 72 years after the fall of Adolph Hitler, the capital city of the former Nazi Germany could very well be more tolerant than many people in the United States.

When it comes to games, everybody’s a critic or a skeptic. But today, I feel like being a cheerleader.

The DeanBeat: I’m surrendering to the aliens in XCOM 2. It’s too hard
I have put dozens of hours into playing a single game of XCOM 2, the turn-based tactical strategy game from Take-Two Interactive’s 2K Games label. I have tried to turn back the alien conquest of Earth in a last-ditch guerrilla war by humanity. And now I am surrendering. The game is too hard, and I’m […] http://goo.gl/IlMQiU #Playistic
The DeanBeat: Nine memorable moments from gaming’s elite DICE Summit
Last week, I heard a lot of smart people talking about the game industry at the DICE Summit, the elite game industry event in Las Vegas.
