Monday 2-12-18: Dota Plus, xQc, Shaq Fu, and Reviews

Monday is back. I apologize for last week, it was a heavy workload to handle. Here’s the news

  • Dota Plus
  • xQc Dropped
  • Shaq Fu is Expensive
  • Algo Bot Review
  • Fossil Hunters Review

Dota Plus


It’s not a new game mode for Valve’s popular MOBA. It’s a premium subscription mode. Now for $3.99 a month, you gain access to special perks and bonuses. The most interesting one is a real-time virtual assistant to suggest the current best options when playing. It bases its information on the current meta-game. You can read more about it on the Dota Plus webpage.

xQc Dropped


eSports news! Overwatch player xQc, playing tank for the Dallas Fuel team, has been dropped after receiving a four-game suspension for racist behavior on Twitch. They claim it’s a mutual decision, and he will be replaced by OGE come next season. Don’t be racist, kids.

Shaq Fool


For some reason, the Nintendo Switch version of Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn costs more($39.99) than the PS4 and Xbox One version ($29.99). When this was the case for L.A. Noire, It was because they needed to utilize a 64gb solid state cartridge. The game’s developers have yet to comment as to why this price change is present, and if it will also be there for the digital version of the game.

Algo Bot


A new review. Algo Bot is a programming learning game. It teaches you about how algorithms and functions work, kinda. You can read my full thoughts about it here.

Fossil Hunters


If you want a game that I DID enjoy, there’s Fossil Hunters. It’s a cute and casual game about finding fossils and building dinosaurs. You can read my full thoughts about it here.


Thanks for reading, everone. I know I’m keeping things inconsistent as ever. If you interested in seeing what I’m playing. Check out my Twitch channel! I’m going to start streaming more often. Check back tomorrow for more video game news. Otherwise, have a great night!
