Our show Tarkov Talks has 4 more episodes. The 2nd is a silly debate about food preferences; the 3rd a highlight of the “birds aren’t real” conspiracy, the 4th a revealing of Elon Musks super villain plans, and finally a video discussing the new World of Warcraft Dragonflight expansion. Click through for links/embeds of each video (or go to the Alternate Image Gaming youtube). For a brief summary of the show, it’s like a podcast (usually gaming related topics) with some Escape from Tarkov gameplay in the background. Watch me discuss things and try not to get dead.

Gamer Art: August 2021
Check out August’s Featured Gamer Art, a monthly column of art that I’ve found found in the past few weeks. Art can include paintings, drawings, digital art, physical crafts, cosplay and more.
Woh, so there was an abundance of art around this month. I had several that I didn’t include just because it seems like only so many makes sense. This month’s Gamer Art features art and cosplay from Apex Legends, WoW, Nier, Cyberpunk 2077, League of Legends, Raid Shadow Legends, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and a God of War/Mario crossover. Continue on for the art!

Check out July’s Featured Gamer Art, a monthly column of art that I’ve found found in the past few weeks. Art can include paintings, drawings, digital art, physical crafts, cosplay and more.
So… art was a little slow this month (or I was slow in finding it). The gaming community was, in a large part, focused on other bigger issues. With regards to that, I had considered leaving out a particular developer, but I don’t think it makes sense to deny the artist a spotlight, so, I’m just doing the usual. This month we have video game art from World of Warcraft, the Witcher, Bioshock, and Genshin Impact.

This month features (above) one of the coolest World of Warcraft art pieces I’ve shown here on Gamer Art and maybe one of the coolest I’ve seen anywhere. There’s also Spawn, Akuma from Street Fighter, HZD (seems to have great art often), another Triss Merigold Cosplay (See last months), a WoW piece and a Tim Burton inspired pokemon drawing. As always, click the picture to see it larger and click the text link to go to the source where I found the image.
