In Sonic Mega Collection and Sonic Mega Collection Plus, Blue Sphere can be unlocked separately (in the former case by playing Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic 3D Blast 20 times each) and is accessible by itself from the game list. In Sonic Jam, it can be accessed by "locking-on" Sonic 1 to Sonic & Knuckles. Locking on Sonic & Knuckles to another copy of Sonic & Knuckles will also load the game normally.īlue Sphere is also available in certain compilation games. Some cartridges with particularly large ROM file sizes (including Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium and Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers) will not load Blue Sphere, but will instead boot Sonic & Knuckles as normal. Most other cartridges will allow the player to access only a single stage of the game, based on the cartridge's ROM header and the stage's code in the full Blue Sphere game. If the cartridge that is locked on to Sonic & Knuckles is the original Sonic the Hedgehog (as well as Sonic Classics, the Nick Arcade and Simon Wai prototype versions of Sonic the Hedgehog 2), then the full game of Blue Sphere is accessed with all stages. When any other Sega Mega Drive cartidge is inserted, background characters with a blue tint aren't shown to have animation on the title screen and the code of single Blue Sphere stage is shown. The scrolling text will be replaced by "Get Blue Spheres!". When the original Sonic the Hedgehog is locked on to the Sonic & Knuckles special cartridge, a screen appears with the Sonic & Knuckles logo, models of the characters Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Robotnik, and a line of scrolling text that says "No Way! No Way! No Way! No Way?" While this screen is visible, pressing, and at the same time changes the screen to the Blue Sphere menu.

![]() In addition to challenges based on individual shots, you can play 9-hole or 18-hole round challenges, among others. You can try-and if you're like us, fail-to match that incredible shot, as well as many others found in the different GamerNet challenges. Sure, it seemed like a once-in-a-lifetime-type shot but we gave it a go anyway. In another, the player had bounced the ball onto the green off the tee the ball then proceeded to bounce off of an official's stand on the backside of the green, and then, impossibly, roll backward into the hole. In one, a player had managed to "swish" (that is, no bounce or roll) the ball into the hole from about 160 yards out. Some of the example challenges already posted by Tiger 08 testers were intimidating to say the least. ![]() Challenges are organized into "channels" in the game, so you'll have a channel for trick shots, 9-hole rounds, 18-hole rounds, and so on. Your points total will also be posted to leaderboards so you can compare your performance against those of your friends or the rest of the Tiger 08 world. The more difficult the challenge, the more points you can earn if you beat it. Then you can set the challenge win conditions, which define what other players need to do to "beat" your shot, and try your hands at a few of the already posted challenges yourself. Later, you can take any of your performances and post them to EA's servers. At any time in the game, you can choose to record a shot or round to your local system. One of the most ambitious new features in Tiger 08 is the GamerNet feature, which will let you record on-course shots or rounds you've completed, then post them as challenges for other players to beat. Tiger is tearing up the links once again this year, with a host of new game features on the way. ![]() Though we got a brief look at the game back at E3 2007, Tiger 08 publisher EA Sports recently dropped off a preview copy of the game, which we were able to take out for a few rounds. While previous games focused on improved visuals, there hasn't been much about the new crop of Tiger games that screamed "next generation." That looks about set to change with the upcoming release of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08. EA Sports' Tiger Woods PGA Tour series has been coasting steadily since its Xbox 360 debut back in 2005. ![]() ![]() ![]() Just like the gamers’ demographic characteristics have shifted over the years regarding average age, gaming has also moved away from being a predominantly male hobby. (Statista, Entertainment Software Association) Still, senior gamers are a significant demographic, too: 15% of American gamers are older than 55. People between 18 and 34 make up the majority of the adult crowd. Most gamers in the United States are adults, and only 21% are under 18. People aged 18 to 34 comprise 38% of the US gaming population.Of 214.4 million gamers, 51.1 million are children, while 163.3 million are adults. Gaming has always been prominent in the US and has remained one of the nation’s favorite pastimes. More than 214 million Americans play video games.There is more to the gaming world than meets the eye. Two-thirds of Americans are heavily involved in gaming, with the majority in their 20s and 30s. Statistics and Demographics for Gamers in the US The exact ratio differs between countries: Some locations, like France, have more female gamers, while in Canada, it’s almost a perfect split. There are nearly as many female gamers as males in the world. Just like how gamer demographics testify to the datedness of the idea that games are just for kids, they do the same thing for gender norms. Globally, the male-to-female gamer ratio is close to 50:50.Online gaming is massive in this country, with over 742 million people playing online or engaging in multiplayer gaming. Over 742 million people in China play video games.Ĭhina is undoubtedly the biggest market in the world regarding video games, doubling in size between 20.However, the percentage of gamers is smaller than in Europe, where practically half the population between the ages of six and 60 play games. After all, as does most of the world’s population, many gaming companies hail from this continent. It should be no surprise that Asian countries have the most gamers globally. Asia is the biggest gaming market, with 1.6 billion players.All the Nintendo and Sega kids are now in their 30s and 40s the crowd witnessing the rise of arcades is still gaming today, too. The average age of gamers has been shifting upward in recent years as more people who grew up playing video games became game-loving adults. The average age of a video game player is 35.Īnother stereotype-defying fact is that the majority of gamers aren’t kids.This number of gamers is expected to hit 3.32 billion by 2024. ![]() It’s not just about the money uniting people deo games help unite people thanks to mobile phones and the lower entry price for some consoles. ![]() Video games have grown so much recently that the music and movie industries earn less than video games companies.

Statistics and Facts About Gaming Demographics Asia is the biggest gaming market, with 1.6 billion video game players.Over 50% of Europeans play video games.About 52% of gamers subscribe to at least one gaming service.The video game market is worth $197.11 billion as of 2023.There will be 3.32 billion gamers worldwide by 2024.There are 3.24 billion gamers worldwide as of 2023.We’ll review statistics, recent studies, and some fun facts to showcase how vast the gamer group is. To help fight the stereotype, today, we will be looking at the current state of the gaming world. Gaming has become a mainstream form of entertainment and a big business in turn, gamers are a new demographic that’s more diverse than ever. When you think about the word “gamer,” what’s the first thing that pops into your head? It’s probably one of the stereotypes about gamers that the media has been using to depict this particular demographic, right?Īlthough some still imagine them like that, long gone are the times of the archetypal pimply teen sitting in his parents’ basement.

So in such a case, you can use the best calendar bot for Discord, Sesh. If you look closely, you would find that Discord does not have any kind of scheduling or calendar management features available natively. I am pretty sure you won’t be disappointed. Simply put, if you want a useful Discord bot that is feature-rich in every aspect then you should test out the YAGPDB bot on your server. There is also a powerful Automatic Moderator that allows you to set rules to mute, kick and ban after a series of violations of rules. Other than that, you can create self-assigned roles for different purposes: reaction, moderation, banning, ignoring, and much more. It supports Reddit, and you can also configure other web pages manually. To give you a brief idea about the features, you can get feeds right on your server from multiple sources within a minute. On top of that, the stability is rock-solid no matter how you are configuring the bot to behave. However, the only difference between the two bots is that YAGPDB brings many new features that were lacking in MEE6. To be clear, YAGPDB is developed by the same developer who has created MEE6, a widely popular Discord Bot. ![]() YAGPDB stands for ‘Yet Another General Purpose Discord Bot’ so you can get a good idea about this bot. Similar to Tatsumaki and Dyno Bot, YAGPDB is another Discord bot for managing a range of tasks on the server.

In addition, you have the option to support the project on Patreon membership to access additional perks such as 24/7 access in the voice channel even when idle, exclusive premium Jockie bots, and more.

Not only are the controls bad, but you can’t even make a good camera that moves properly. The tools that you grab and move with should be followed by the camera quite easily, but that’s not the case at all. You made it that if you want the camera to move with the tools, you have to pull it all the way to the side rather than the camera constantly locking onto the tool you pick up which risks hitting Bob accidentally. The tools aren’t even accurate even if you tap to aim it. When I try cutting out the kidneys in the Kidney Transplant, it always misses and stabs Bob elsewhere. Even if I tap to aim with the tool, it still misses and goes elsewhere. I’m unable to pull it forward or backwards, it just stays in the constant position and I’m only able to move it up and down. Another dumb move you made, which has me unable to get an A++ on it.

Terraria developer Re-Logic has long been known for claiming its updates for one of the best crafting games are the ‘final update,’ and Labor of Love follows on from the previous two such final updates – Journey’s End and Journey’s Actual End. Labor of Love was pitched primarily as a quality of life and balance update, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t new items – and plenty of the changes give more than enough reason to return to one of the best sandbox games on PC one more time. We’ve compiled all the new additions and tweaks into one handy list for your perusal down below, but we’ll start off by detailing a few of the biggest changes you can expect in Terraria 1.4.4. A Void Bag rework causes the special sack to function as basically a second inventory that can be opened at will, and the addition of Terraria gear loadouts means you can switch between various equipment setups on the fly.įirst up, your Terraria inventory size is due to get a huge upgrade as the stack limit for most items in the game leaps from 999 to a massive 9999. Meanwhile, fans sick of having to go through extensive preparation and maintenance to keep their Jungle from being destroyed by evil biome corruption will be overjoyed to know that the addition of Infected Mud Grass means that your Jungle biome will never be turned into dirt again, and a new Biome Sight potion will make picking out those pesky evil nodes and cleaning them up vastly more straightforward. Terraria 1.4.4 update Labor of Love release date and cross-play details One of the strongest Terraria endgame accessories is getting a buff too – although it’s left fans a little split on its usefulness. The Terraria 1.4.4 update is due to release in late September, although there is no exact date at the time of writing. ![]() ![]() ![]() After the fighting inside is finished, and before heading down into Smuggler's Cove, take time to loot the inn.

Immediately after emerging on the other side of the Chantry doors, you must fight through several groups of darkspawn. Finally, Glassric the Weaponsmith is also in the main room, although his selection of items is quite limited. After assuring him that you will take care of the matter, you will be free to loot the rest of the Chantry. Immediately after leaving this room, a cutscene will begin, and a soldier will inform you of yet another darkspawn attack, this one emanating from the Crown and Lion inn.

However, the only DPI-based option in the GG software is a toggle that will cycle through each DPI setting on press. The button is, to be clear, completely programmable. I was never a fan of the concept, and obviously, this half-hearted implementation on the Aerox 5 Wireless hasn't changed that. SteelSeries, for some reason, chose to bring it back in physical form but skipped the ability actually to set the button as a DPI clutch.

The mock touchpad offers gesture control-one tap as a left mouse click, two taps for as a right click, and finger slide for up or down scrolling.
