Knicks vs. Lakers: A Timeless Rivalry in the NBA
Knicks vs. Lakers: A Timeless Rivalry in the NBA The New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers stand as two of the most distinguished franchises in the history of the NBA. While their confrontations may not always evoke the same level of rivalry as the Celtics vs. Lakers, they nonetheless hold a distinct importance due to their storied pasts, legendary athletes, and the vibrant cities they represent. The Knicks, hailing from New York, and the Lakers, representing Los Angeles, exemplify the East Coast versus West Coast basketball rivalry, rendering their matchups exhilarating for fans around the globe.

Does Tarkov’s BTR Bring Any Value into the Game?
(Intro) The BTR is one of Tarkov’s most ambitious mechanics to ever be added into the game. Released with patch 0.14 which dropped in December of 2023, the BTR is a self-driving armored vehicle that moves around certain locations that you can enter to either take cover, pay to have items sent to your stash, move you to another part of the map, or to provide covering fire. This whole thing feels like something the modding community for this game would do. And while they have added some impressive mechanics into that version of EFT, for now, we just have the BTR. It’s size imposing for a single soldier, the ability to basically one-shot you with its turret means being in the wrong place at the wrong time can spell immediate doom for your raid. And while the mechanic itself is incredibly interesting, and I can’t imagine how challenging it was to get it added into the game, it also leaves a lot to be desired when you look at it a little deeper. The inaccessibility of it across the entire game, combined with how players can usually just walk past without really acknowledging it, the novelty of the BTR being in the game quickly goes away after seeing it the first couple of times. So today, I wanted to go over the BTR, the mechanics and services it provides, how they could maybe be either improved upon or expanded to see if this mechanic brings any real value into the game. And more importantly, will BSG ever expand on the BTR to give it more functionality.

Shoreline in Tarkov - What Makes It So Detested by Players?
(Intro) Shoreline is one of the defining maps of the mid-game for EFT. It sits nicely next to Interchange as the two maps that really open up to you once you begin acquiring quests from Peacekeeper and Ragman, respectively. And although the other traders will also provide things for you to do on Shoreline specifically, it’s really Peacekeeper who will send you there again and again; back-to-back. And because of this consistency with going back to the map, players can sometimes feel and overwhelming sense of dread when it comes to completing quests to get off the map. But those negative feelings towards Shoreline go much further than that. Just the structure and layout of the map itself proves to be quite challenging as well as annoying for many. But why? What about Shoreline has ground the gears of so many players for so many years? Today, we will be talking about Shoreline’s design, the different landmarks across it, how it’s evolved over the years and why it’s up there with a map like Lighthouse that have people detest it so much.

Continuous Healing in Tarkov – The Small, Silent Victories
(Intro) The medical system in Tarkov can be a complex beast when you first start off. Knowing which items do what and when to use them is something you will slowly learn overtime. But a common complaint from many players was the unnecessary need to constantly cancel healing animations when multiple body parts need to be healed. And to be fair, after years and years of having to do this, even though I have the muscle memory down start a heal, cancel it and then heal again, it’s something we didn’t need to be doing. Luckily, it finally seems like BSG agreed and with patch 0.16 added a feature that now allows players to only have to press their heal button once and the medical kit will simply heal them until they hit their maximum HP value, or the kit runs out of uses. Whichever comes first. In the grand scheme of things, this is a small change compared to things like new guns, equipment, major mechanics, events or map alterations. But even the smallest of changes can have massive implications on the game if done correctly. Fortunately for the community, it was implemented correctly, if a little weird looking. But today, let’s go over the continuous healing mechanic, how it works, why it’s so impactful and why little things like this can be such a nice quality of life improvement for the game as a whole.

Why Some Video Games Feel Like Home: The Psychology of Nostalgia in Gaming

The Goons are the Worst Bosses in Tarkov
(Intro) The Goons, Knight, Big Pipe, and Birdeye are the worst bosses in Tarkov. Now, that’s kind of a loaded statement, and depending on who you ask, and the context surrounding that initial statement, people’s choice for worst boss might be different. Bosses have always been a touchy subject across the entirety of EFT. People have varying opinions about many aspects regarding how they work, their spawn rates, and levels of aggression. It isn’t something that can be boiled down to a single slider going in one direction or the other. The many facets about all the AI also apply to the harder enemies in the game, namely the bosses across the maps. And while each boss provides different levels of challenge through different means, none even come close to the sheer powerhouses that are The Goons. Added with patch 0.12.12 which happened on June 29th 2022, for a while they were this kind of ominous group that could appear out of nowhere, were insanely aggressive, and in some aspects, broke the rules set in place for the world of EFT. And while the challenge is certainly there, it’s generally unfair if they function correctly. Emphasis on if because we’ll be going over that later. Today, I wanted to look at the Goons as a whole, what makes them so powerful, so frustrating to fight, where they fall short, and if they are really the hardest boss in the game.

Customs is Truly the Best Map in the Game
(Intro) Customs is one of the quintessential maps to ever be made for EFT. As one of the oldest maps in the game on offer, it has gone through many different iterations over the years. And with each adjustment or expansion, the map continued to get better. And now in 2025, we have ultimately reached the apex of what this map can offer. I doubt we will be getting any further expansions to it, and there are other maps in the game that need those resources and time put into it. To me, it ranks in the highest position possible for maps that I both enjoy playing, and think are the most immersive in terms of EFT’s world and atmosphere. The official description of the map reads:

Tarkov’s Found in Raid Hideout – 51 Days Later
(Intro) So, alongside the flea market changes that we discussed in the previous video, BSG also made it so that upgrading your modules in the hideout now needed the found in raid status for most barter items. A month and a half later, and we’re going to talk about the impact this change has had on the game and how people go about interacting with the hideout. Between the hideout and the flea market, I’d say the latter being locked off for two weeks was more impactful because almost everyone uses the flea market for one reason or another. But the hideout? Technically, you can play the game and never use it. You don’t have to invest any time, money or items into it. But EFT heavily incentivizes you to do so. There’s a lot of good that can come from the hideout, but you need to put in the work to see the fruits of that labor. Either way, a month and a half later, and people are still struggling to get even the basic modules upgraded to progress through the rest of the hideout. I know I was, and honestly are still there. It’s been quite a challenge that will hopefully be either adjusted going forward, or simply reverted for whenever the next wipe will occur.

What is Driving the Growth of Video Games?
Video games have come a long way since the days of Pong and Pac-Man. They are bigger than ever, with millions of players around the world. Once upon a time, players enjoyed the simple, pixelated graphics and basic beeping sounds. And it was a great experience all the same! No one could have imagined how far gaming would go, or what evolutionary changes were in store.

Tarkov’s Flea Market – 46 Days Later
(Intro) It has been over forty-six days since the start of the wipe, as of the recording for this video. But this wasn’t just a regular wipe. BSG wanted to try some new things with gameplay mechanics that have been integral since their introduction. One of which was completely locking down the flea market for two weeks just to see what would happen. Funnily enough, it ended up being closer to three weeks when everything was all said and done. It was the first time since the flea market was added that the entirety of it was locked off. No barters, no listings. Nothing. I was both excited and interested to see what the general consensus was going to be from the community. I had a feeling that people would despise the change and just want it back. But to my surprise, it seemed like people were okay with it being gone for two weeks. On top of that BSG was collecting data once the market was back through an in-game survey which we will be looking at and discussing too. So, let’s talk about Tarkov’s flea market, over a month later and how it might not be as universally loved in the early game as some might’ve thought.
