Twitch Streamer Trick2g Banned For Swatting Stunt

Twitch fake swatting Trick2g

Over the weekend, popular Twitch streamer Trick2g put on a 24-hour long live event to commemorate his channel reaching 800,000 followers. Trick2g, known for his League Of Legends content on Twitch, decided to end his live event with something exciting – by having himself swatted on camera. It was all just a stunt, with the “police” that stormed his room actually being actors. The mock swatting seemed to go down well with Trick’s fans, but by Monday his account was banned.

Swatting, in case you’re out of the loop, is what you get when somebody makes a fake call to the police, saying that some kind of emergency is happening at a Twitch streamer’s residence – usually swatters go with a bomb threat or a hostage situation. The result is seeing a police SWAT team raid a streamer’s home live on camera. Results of swatting can vary based on a streamer’s location and their local police practises. Sometimes, only one or two officers show up with a polite knock on the door and nothing much happens. Other times, a full SWAT team rocks up and points ten assault rifles on the streamer. There was even an incident in which a Runescape streamer’s 10-year-old brother had a policeman hold a gun to his face.

Trick’s swatting event (which you can watch for yourself below) shows the latter scenario. Somebody screams “Police!” in the background and a couple of cops storm into the room. Trick shouts out “What the f***!” before being arrested. He even hits one of the policemen. Trick ends up being tackled to the ground and carted off. Of course, it was all fake. The two men dressed as cops were just actors. Trick’s manager, Cher Gambino, confirmed it was a stunt in a post on Team2g’s website. “An extreme FAKE ending for an extremely entertaining Trick2G.”

“Trick is an entertainer and that is just how it is, he streams 12 – 14 hours a day and brings constant laughter throughout each and every stream,” Gambino said on Trick’s banning. “To take that stream ending serious is absurd, Trick was laughing, the person used was NOT in disguise and was the same person who was on the stream all day yesterday setting up cameras and assisting the stream. The ending was scheduled for 3PM which again if thought process was used in any way, one would know that a swat team would not wait until the end of a stream to engage.”

Gambino says she isn’t sure how long the ban will last, but that she’s working on getting Twitch to lift it. Twitch has so far refused to comment.

Many of Trick’s viewers have responded negatively to the stunt, saying that the mock swatting was making light of events that could be very traumatising to some streamers. Many other fans are showing their support over Twitter.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
