Good seems to be the right word to describe this gamer’s abilities. However, it wasn’t just his skill that made him go viral, there was something else.

How could it not be, the gamer’s age is currently 71 years old. The gamer in question is a shooting game streamer. He is usually known as GrndPaGaming.

GrndPaGaming said he did not want to reveal his real name. He said this was done to avoid harassment.

Furthermore, netizens were excited by him, because Grandpa uploaded a short video, showing his prowess in playing Battlefield 2042. There he repeatedly got a headshot (a technique for killing an opponent by shooting the head).

Of course, after the FYP video on TikTok, many netizens gave various reactions. Most of them praised his skill in playing this shooting game made by DICE, which was published by Electronic Arts.

In fact, quite a few Indonesian netizens also commented on TikTok. One of them, from an account called Rois, thinks that this grandfather is better than himself.

“His aim is really hard. It’s different from me, whose aim is bad,” he said.

Until this news was written, the 50 second video had received more than 7.8 million views, 578.9 thousand likes, commented on by 5,058 people, and the content was saved 45.8 thousand times. It is likely that the numbers will continue to increase.

The Veteran Never Wrong

It seems that his greatness is a legacy of what he did when he was young. GrndPaGaming revealed that he had served in the United States Navy for 20 years.

During that time, he served in several regions such as Korea, Vietnam, Japan, Guam and Palembang. Therefore, his military background became the source of his grandfather’s love for first person shooter games.

Some of the games he likes include Fallout 4, Armored Warfare, World of Warships, World of Tanks, The Witcher 3, Battlefield 1, 2, 3 & 4, League of Legends, Doom and The Division, Apex Legends.

December 26, 2023 / adminagent1 / 0 Comments

Rans Entertainment today, Friday (22/12/2023), is holding an esports competition entitled Mendadak FF. The event was filled with battles between several artists, cosplayers, creators, comedians and pro players in playing the game made by Garena, namely Free Fire.

The event was held at Studio Sepat 72, Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta. A total of 16 players were divided into two teams, including Frost led by Raffi Ahmad and Fire led by Baim Wong.

Raffi’s team consists of Marshel Widianto (Komika), Jinan (Ex JKT48 Member), Rasyah Rasyid (Pro Player & Content Creator), El Rumi, Praz Teguh (Komika), Cindy Gulla (Ex JKT48 Member), and Punipun (Cosplayer).

Meanwhile, the Baim Wong team is staffed by Angie Marcheria (Content Creator), Jesslyn (Ex JKT48 Member), Aldi TV (Content Creator), Aldi Taher (Celebrity), Ummi Quary (Comedian), Ayana (Ex JKT48 Member), and Kameaam (Cosplayer). ).

This is different from Free Fire competitions in general, considering that Sudden FF starts immediately from the semifinals using the best of 3 (Bo3) format. However, here they are not playing in battle royale mode, but in clash squad mode.

So the battle is four vs four in one arena. Not 60 players gathered in one map, and trying to be the only team that survives until the end of the match.

So, the winner in the semi-final round has the right to advance to the grand final round to compete for the championship title. Who do you think will be the winner, is Raffi’s team or Baim’s team?

The sudden excitement of Free Fire was also enlivened by Tretan Muslim, Coki Pardede, and Mayden as casters. For those who are curious, you can watch the live broadcast on YouTube Rans Entertainment.

Very cool! Indonesian Gamer Makes Borobudur Temple in Minecraft in 100 Hours

December 21, 2023 / adminagent1 / 0 Comments

It’s really crazy, a man spent up to 100 hours making Borobudur Temple. So how did he do it?

This story comes from a gamer and creator from Indonesia. He is known as Baww.

His name started to attract public attention after the video went viral. So last year, he created content on YouTube about how much fun he had making Borobudur Temple in Minecraft Survival.

Baww did this for 100 hours, of which 10 hours were spent grinding (the process of collecting goods/items), and 90 hours were used to build the temple.

He said that the production was divided into three stages. First, make the outline, second, place the blocks, and finally do the detailing.

To complete the first stage, Baww takes up to 10 hours. Then entering the second stage, he managed to complete the foot of the temple in 27 hours and placed the blocks in the middle for up to 12 hours.

Continue to the final stage, namely detailing. Here Baww’s work is more difficult, because there is a lot to make, such as stairs, ornaments, stupas and other details.

According to him, the most complicated part was making the temple wall ornaments. Even though it only takes 15 minutes, he has to make a very large amount.

Nevertheless, Baww managed to complete what he had started alone. After 90 hours of struggling with many blocks, he succeeded in building Borobudur Temple.

At the end of the video, Baww said that this was dedicated to Indonesia, which was celebrating its 77th birthday. Interestingly, this video only went viral in 2023.

The First Indonesian Gamers Makes One Of Miracle World

Many people are amazed by his skills. Not a few also appreciate his genius, in calculating every corner of the temple where the blocks will be installed.

After going viral, it turned out that Baww received an email from Borobudur Park. They appreciated his work, and gave the Creator free access to Bobobudur Temple for life.

For those who are curious about the manufacturing process, you can watch it directly on the Baww YouTube channel. Currently, the almost 18 minute video has been watched 3.7 million times, received 219 thousand likes and 11,386 comments.

A little information, coincidentally the Game Station team has asked Baww for permission to use information regarding the construction of Borobudur Temple via its official Twitter account. However, until this news was published, Baww had not responded.

Sony Sells 50 Million PS5 Units in 3 Years, Almost Matching PS4 Record

December 21, 2023 / adminagent1 / 0 Comments

Sony managed to sell 50 million PS5 units. This mark was achieved in three years since the fifth generation game console was launched at the end of 2020.

Last July, Sony announced that it had sold 40 million PS5 units. This means that the Japanese technology giant managed to sell 10 million units during the second half of 2023, with the highest sales time in November.

PlayStation 5 sales almost equal the PS4, whose sales also reached 50 million units in three years. PS4 was released in 2013 and sold 50 million units in 2016.

But the PS5 took a week longer than the PS4 to reach sales of 50 million units. According to Financial Times data, PS5 took 161 weeks while PS4 took 160 weeks.

This achievement is quite impressive considering that initial PS5 sales were marred by supply chain problems in the midst of the pandemic, while PS4 sales did not experience similar problems.

The Era Of PS4 Is Over

The supply chain problems that haunt the PS5 will continue until 2022, making it difficult for many gamers to buy the console at normal prices on the market. Finally, in early January 2023, Sony announced that the PS5 shortage was over.

“We’re incredibly grateful to all the players who have joined the PS5 journey so far, and we’re thrilled this is the first holiday season since launch where we’ve had the consoles in full inventory — so anyone who wants to buy can get one,” said the President and Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan, as quoted from The Verge, Thursday (21/12/2023).

PS5 sales were also helped by the release of several popular games such as Spider-Man 2, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Alan Wake 2. Sony recently released a new version of the PS5 with thinner dimensions than the original version.

Sony also managed to win the console war with Microsoft this year. According to Ampere Analysis estimates, Sony managed to sell 22.5 million units throughout 2023 (up 65% from the previous year), while Microsoft sold 7.6 million Xbox Series S/X units, down 15% from 2022.

Dismantled, Game “Counter Strike 2” Reaches 1,000 FPS

December 13, 2023 / adminagent1 / 0 Comments

An overclocker (a person who likes to tinker with the clock speed of a computer’s processor/CPU) managed to make the game Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) run at a frame rate of 1,000 FPS (frames per second).

Frame rate is a unit commonly used to determine how much image is displayed on the screen. Usually, the frame rate is seen from how many images appear on the screen in one second (FPS), so the higher the FPS number, the smoother the animation in the game.

In some games, including CS2, users can actually get a level of smooth animation if their computer can run CS2 at around 60-90 FPS. However, in the competitive scene (e-sports), FPS figures will feel increasingly important. Because, the higher the FPS number, the faster the game will respond to player actions.

Returning to CS2 which ran at 1,000 FPS, this achievement was achieved by an overclocker who is usually known by the nickname “der8auer”. He showed the results of CS2 running at 1,000 FPS in a video on his YouTube channel under the name “der8auer EN”.

In the video, he explains that the CPU used to get 1,000 FPS in CS2 is an Intel Core i9-14900K, while the graphics processing unit (GPU) used is an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090. In particular, the speed of this CPU has been increased (overclocked). such that up to 8.1 GHz.

Counter Strike 2 1k FPS

Before reaching a CPU with that speed, he said that CS2 actually ran at around 900 FPS with a CPU speed of 7.4 GHz. However, this was deemed insufficient and he then increased the CPU clock speed to 7.8 GHz, so that it could run in the range of 1,000 FPS.

This increase in CPU speed is of course also accompanied by an extra cooling system based on liquid nitrogen. This liquid can be put into a nitrogen tube that is “attached” to the motherboard to cool other computer components, such as SSD storage media connected to the board.

This liquid nitrogen itself is needed to make computer hardware, such as the CPU and GPU cool. The reason is, the level of stability of FPS numbers usually depends on the temperature of the CPU or GPU, the hotter it is, the lower the FPS you get, and vice versa.

More Game Revenue, Tencent is ahead of Sony and Microsoft

December 11, 2023 / adminagent1 / 0 Comments

Recently, a study revealed that Tencent outperformed large companies such as Sony, Apple, Microsoft and Google in terms of revenue in the gaming industry. They occupy first position, with much more income.

This data was released by Newzoo, which collected sales information from each well-known game publisher during the first half of 2023. Compiled by Game Station from its official website, Monday (27/11/2023), they then compared it with the 2022 report.

It can be seen that here Sony, Apple and Microsoft have experienced an increase this year compared to before. But that’s not enough to overthrow Tencent, which has twice the revenue as them.

Referring to data revealed by Newzoo, Sony experienced growth of 8.7%. That way, game revenue in the first half of 2023 could reach USD 8 billion or around IDR 124.4 trillion.

Then Apple is in third place, because it was able to generate USD 6.9 billion or around Rp. 107.3 trillion. Meanwhile, Microsoft grew 3.5% compared to the first semester of 2022, so that previously the figure was USD 5.88 billion or around IDR 91.4 trillion, to USD 6 billion or around IDR 93.3 trillion.

As has been said, even though its income is very large and increasing, it is not yet able to compete with Tencent. This video game giant has more fantastic income.

Even though the numbers have fallen, this is still too much and difficult to overcome. They were recorded as earning USD 15.4 billion or around IDR 239.5 trillion during the half term of 2023.

The following are the 10 largest gaming companies that will have large revenues during the first semester of 2023:

1.Tencent – USD 15.4 billion or around IDR 239.5 trillion

2.Sony – USD 8 billion or around IDR 124.4 trillion

3.Apple – USD 6.9 billion or around IDR 107.3 trillion

4.Microsoft – USD 6 billion or around IDR 93.3 trillion

5.NetEase Games – USD 5 billion or around IDR 77.7 trillion

6.Google – USD 5 billion or around IDR 77.7 trillion

7.Activision Blizzard – USD 4.4 billion or around IDR 68.4 trillion

8.Electronic Arts – USD 3.8 billion or around IDR 59.1 trillion

9.Nintendo – USD 3.1 billion or around IDR 48.2 trillion

10.T2 – USD 2.4 billion or around IDR 37.3 trillion

From these values, it can be seen that Microsoft has a big chance to take second place. This is because they have acquired Activision Blizzard.

So Activision’s joining has an impact on the flow of funds coming into Microsoft from the gaming sector. This is because there are many games owned by Activision, which will soon be able to be enjoyed by Xbox gamers and Game Pass members.
