From video games to government: How to steer clear of social engineering scams - Security
Prevent different types of social engineering attacks, targeting everyone from CEOs to gamers to smart appliance users, with the right training and tools.

Technology can do lots of things better than humans can—playing chess, working a factory floor and soon (supposedly) driving our cars and trucks is just the start of a very long list. But technology, at least so far, can't trump the human when it comes to protection against cyber attacks .

Video games: Remade and remastered in 2020 – Boulder Daily Camera
When I first started to write about games in 1992, the future of gaming seemed outrageous. Thinking of the industry in 2020 evoked dreams of technological marvels and inconceivable wonders. Now that we're here, gaming in 2020 is both more and less than I imagined.
Take, for instance, one of my most anticipated games set to be released in the next couple of months: "Final Fantasy VII Remake."
In 1992, I looked pleadingly toward "Final Fantasy V," a game that would take seven years to make it to the West when Nintendo passed it over for being "too complicated for Americans."
For the Love of Video Games: UNC's eSports Club Growing on Campus
Founded three years ago by UNC senior and Physics major Zach Peters, as competitive gaming was gaining steam nationally, the eSports Club has grown to about 50 students on campus. Another 250 members affiliated with UNC joined on the club's Discord app, which is used by gamers to chat and text while playing games.

The club started as a casual way to bring together gamers on campus to play video games, said current president Alexander Puckett, a senior Computer Information Services major. Now, the club competes at a collegiate level against schools from around the country.
Video Game Layoffs Are So Common, This Person Built a Website to Track Them - VICE
83 days, 22 hours, 59 minutes, and 20 seconds. That's how long it's been, as of this writing, since the last "mass layoff" in the video game industry, when Hasbro laid off 86 employees working for one of its mobile game studios . The ominous countdown clock, tracking the next drop, comes courtesy of videogamelayoffs.com , a website whose mission statement is impossible to ignore. The numbers rise, second by second, until they inevitably start over.
* * *
Part of the problem is that keeping track of layoffs, however frequent, is difficult. The news cycle moves quickly, and not all layoffs become front page news. That's why a website like videogamelayoffs.com is useful—it puts the data in a single location. The website's look is methodically simple, essentially a dressed up Excel doc.
