THE FINAL ROUND!
We are in the FINAL stage now people! We are about to fight the GAME BOSS now, people! Are y’all ready to make some Steems delicious, new, awesome #gaming articles????
For this exercise, imagine that the GAME BOSS’ HP bar can only be brought down by posts submitted to the contest!
So, LAST THURSDAY … @archdruid wrapped up our 2000s contest and there were many great articles, even MORE new authors joining the #gaming tag who had never created #gaming contents before and it was really great and wonderful ! There were insightful gaming articles, funny reviews, fanarts, …… haikus….. and even a steamy fiction !!!! OH ME OH MY !
And now, we are at the precipice of the FINAL BATTLE! Will you all let the SEMI-FINAL to be the actual and real FINAL to this saga???? OR…..
WILL YOU MAKE THIS FINAL ROUND THE GREATEST BATTLE YET???
Welcome to the PRESENT DECADE era!
FIFTH and FINAL ROUND: 2010 to PRESENT TIME (future time is not included, sorry)
- You are to create a post about a game from the 2010s (2010 to NOW) :D
Finally! We have arrived at the PRESENT ERA! This decade is ahot mess… ahem, another respectable continuation to the emerging subculture that is Geekery and #Gaming. Yep. This decade remains dominated by the same major players from the previous decade (we need new protag, guys), and casual gaming continues its ascendancy (oh no). Mobile Phones became a newbattle arenamarket for time-poor adults who keep trying to latch into #gaming well into their adulting journeys. We are also seeing the advent of Virtual Gaming !
For more, check out this Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010s_in_video_gaming
The post does not need to be about a game review or a video of actual gameplay!
You can do fanart, or fanfic, or commentary piece about a game's soundtrack, or a cosplay of a character from a game that was released in the 2010s, or photography post with your collection of oldie-but-goodie games, ... you get the idea, right? MASH THEM ALL UP IN ONE POST!!! ANYTHING GOES AS LONG AS THE POST HAS A RELATION TO A GAME RELEASED SOMEWHERE IN THE 2010s! We are opening up the playfield and we welcome Steemians of various genres to come and join the @archdruid's love for gaming!
Limit of 3 entries per author. As tradition tells us to

https://steemit.com/spanish/@franz54/videojuego-de-carrera-f1-2019-race-videogame-f1-2019-esp-eng
Thanks!!! Still time for more entries ! :D
Thank you for organizing another contest, it's always great fun!
I've written my first entry:
https://steemit.com/gaming/@arjendesign/he-who-fights-spoilers
It's about how, in recent years, audiences on Twitch and YouTube tend to spoil games for content creators playing the games blind. I think it fits the theme, but I'll understand if you disagree.
Thank you! Great to see you participating again! :D
I've finished my second entry: https://steemit.com/gaming/@arjendesign/miwashiba-s-adorable-rpgs It's about the incredibly cute RPG games by lesser known developer Miwashiba, which were released on Steam in just the last few years. I really hope this article introduces more people to these games.
Thanks so much! Great entry :D Maybe you can squeeze one last entry before the deadline???? :D
Thank you, I really appreciate that! I'm going to give it a try, but I might not get the third article done in time.
My Final Entry is here! Fallout New Vegas Baby. B)
https://steempeak.com/@dlstudios/fallout-new-vegas-retro-review
Hey, I managed to finish my third entry in time: https://steemit.com/gaming/@arjendesign/preliminary-thoughts-zero-escape-zero-time-dilemma
I've been playing the Zero Escape games, but I've been having a lot of trouble with Zero Time Dilemma. I wanted to articulate why in this article to offer the perspective of someone who is far into the game, but hasn't quite finished it yet. I'll likely write a follow-up when I'm completely done.
Thanks again for organizing this contest! You've definitely pushed me to get creative and write more stuff.
Here is my second entry! I saw that the deadline is fast approaching... I have to get the next one done!
This is BattleTech...
