Riot Games facing staff walkout after attempts to block lawsuits

As much as League Of Legends studio Riot Games has sworn to clean up their act after multiple scathing reports of sexism and abuse within the company, it hasn’t been enough for their staff. While it doesn’t look like the in-house term ‘Rioter’ will become literal, Waypoint report that employees are considering walking out. This appears to be in response to the company’s attempts to use contractual arbitration clauses to shut down legal action from staff. Unsurprisingly, Riot hope to appease the unrest through “small group sessions” with their aggrieved developers.

Skyrim mod SkyTrek gives your Dragonborn autopilot

While fast travel is convenient in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, teleporting around loses the wonder of roaming an open world. If only we could have the convenience of automatic travel without atmosphere ruining-loading screens. Friends, with the wonders of modern modding, we can now set a destination for our Dragonborn and watch them automatically walk or ride to your destination in real time. Call it slow travel. Call them self-driving characters. Call it a game to idly watch. Call it… new mod SkyTrek.

Modder Superior: another tour for Jagged Alliance 2

Jagged Alliance 2 is still one of the best turn-based squad tactics games around, its own sequels falling short of its consummate majesty. Part XCOM, part A-Team, players manage and command a ragtag band of vaguely cartoonish mercenaries on a mission to liberate an impoverished banana republic from its tyrannical queen. JA2 has also spawned an insular but extremely productive mod scene, mostly on The Bear’s Pit forums. While their output has tapered off in the past year or two, and site reshuffles have made some older mods hard to access, it’s hard to go wrong with Jagged Alliance 2 v1.13.
