#TheRace has trended worldwide on Twitter and other social media networks when last year’s Call of Duty: Race to Prestige was held and gathered over 2.5 million viewers to see five gamer personalities stream their Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare gameplay. The Race to Prestige campaign was launched as a fundraising effort for the Call of Duty Endowment, which helps raising awareness of employment challenges that veterans are faced with every day.

As for this year’s Race to Prestige, Activision Publishing Inc. has partnered with Twitch.tv and Best Buy to bring us the most anticipated streaming marathon of the soon to be released Call of Duty: Black Ops III. Although we encourage you to check out the full press release of the upcoming event scheduled on November 4th, here are a few detail we know about this year’s marathon.

The official launch date of Call of Duty: Black Ops III is November 6, but from 12pm PST on November 5th until 5pm PST on November 10th, the Call of Duty: 2015 Race to Prestige will start streaming from the Treyarch Studious in Santa Monica, California. The five YouTube personalities that will guide you through the Black Ops III gameplay continuously for 5 days are: TmarTn, GoldGloveTV, iiJERiiCHOii, whom you’ve also saw in the last year’s race accompanied by Hutch and VernNotice. As you can see, this year’s participants are all very well known in game streaming communities and have a lot of tips and trick to offer us about the forthcoming Call of Duty we’re waiting to get our hands on.

More importantly, this streaming marathon event is the best way of raising awareness about The Call of Duty Endowment that helps veterans integrate back into society and finds them suiting employment opportunities since 2009. This non-profit organization, fully supported by Activision, is raising funds from audience members under the form of donations during The Race. All donated funds go directly to The Call of Duty Endowment, which has already proudly helped over 17,000 veterans by finding them jobs or directing them to group supports that assist them in finding careers.

Also, this week The Call of Duty Endowment has awarded three veteran serving organizations with the Prestigious Seal of Distinction. Operation: Job Ready Veterans  from Indianapolis, Mt. Carmel Center of Excellence from Colorado and Paralyzed Veterans of America are the awarded organizations. Alongside their recognition, they will receive from The Call of Duty Endowment’s behalf a $30,000 grant and the opportunity of applying for additional funding.

All in all, the upcoming marathon isn’t only about the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops III or our pure entertainment of watching gaming streams while learning tips and tricks for our future gameplays, it is also about giving to those in need. Needless to say, this type of event encourages donations which do a lot of good to our veterans who find themselves unemployed, psychologically damaged or physically disabled as they fight our wars.

Who doesn’t enjoy listening to a good story. Personally I love reading about the people who inspire me and what it took for them to achieve their success. As I am a bit of a self confessed tech geek I think there is no better way to discover these stories than by reading every day some articles or the newspaper . My bookcases are filled with good tech biographies, they remind me that anyone can be a success. So even if you come from an underprivileged part of society or you aren’t the smartest person in the room we all have a chance to reach the top. The same message shines in my beliefs. All it takes to succeed is a good idea, a little risk and a lot of hard work and any geek can become a success. VENI VIDI VICI .

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.
