      Damn. I don't follow any of these composers (though I do know The Witcher 3 had a pretty good soundtrack).

      I would've been more interested in a panel that has the following:
      • Mick Gordon (Killer Instinct Seasons 1 & 2)
      • Manami Matsumae (Mega Man, Shovel Knight, Mighty No. 9)
      • Alexander Brandon (Jazz Jackrabbit series, upcoming Unreal Tournament)
      • Danny Baranowsky (Crypt of the Necrodancer)
      • Hideyuki Fukasawa (Street Fighter 4 & 5, Street Fighter X Tekken, Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works [not a game])
      • Jake Kaufman (DuckTales: Remastered, Double Dragon Neon, Shovel Knight, NUREN [not a game])
      • Toby Fox (Earthbound Halloween Hack, Undertale, Homestuck [not a game])
      • Sam Beddoes (Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures & Assimilation)
      • DM Ashura (DDR, Beatmania, Pump It Up, O2Jam)
      • Naoki Maeda (DDR [remember Dynamite Rave?])
      • Hiroyuki Sawano (Xenosaga Chronicles X, Attack on Titan [not a game], Sengoku Basara [also not a game])
      • DJ Cutman (erm... Does GameChops count as game-related? No? Aw...)

      Now THAT would've been an all-star Maestros of Video Games Panel that nobody in their right mind would attend and watch, simply because it was curated by an incredibly biased and short-sighted person... MEEEEEEE! Also would be pricey to fly so many artists over with hotel stay. And then there's the paying of the artists to be in the panel. And then there's the hiring of interpreters for anybody who isn't fluent in spoken English. And then there's the necessity of a very long table space to fit so many artists in. Yeeeeeep! I know how to setup a REAL panel that people wouldn't watch!

Their explosive growth illustrates how online gaming culture is redefining online casino gaming. The lines between online casino games and video gaming have blurred in the last decade. No place captures that better than in the rising popularity of casino games of the crash style—fast-paced online games where players bet and dash to cash out before a multiplie...

    What Are the Benefits of Playing Video Games?
    by Major 0

    When people think of video games and the act of playing them, they do not normally do so with the notion that there are benefits to playing them in mind. This point of view is easy to understand though as many might see someone who plays video games a lot as unproductive. However, video games are just like any other entertainment, such as movies, TV and even gambling. There is no doubt that online casinos are growing, and as they do, more people are turning to play and are discovering the...
