Welcome to the inaugural post of Focus Fire, a place where geeks and nerds can let down their hair and squeal like schoolgirls at the exciting new information posted here everyday. Let's see what we have on the docket today:

League of Legends News: For anybody that plays LoL, they'll know that the recent patch was less then helpful. Crashing servers and three hour login times, were the direct result of unforeseen problems by Riot.


" The problems we’re experiencing are database-related – specifically, it’s a data throughput issue. Our infrastructure handles a massive volume of data and requests every day, and the backend changes in this patch introduced a new bottleneck."(LoL Forums) 

Though this all sounds quite terrible, there actually was some amazing discoveries found in patch 6-8 on the PBE(Public Beta Environment). Hidden files were found that contained moves and names of unreleased champions. There were files for six champions, Seth, Xara, Diana, Dark Soverign, Hexmage, and Teek. There were also files relating to new skins for Tryndamere, Jarvan, Cassiopeia and Malphite.  Exciting stuff and hopefully we hear more about those champs in the future.


Other Gaming News:  
-Dreams for a FFVII remake were shattered or at least postponed. In an article by IGN, they quoted CEO Yoichi Wada saying that they wouldn't work on a remake until the current franchises surpassed the quality of the beloved original game. I guess that means Final Fantasy fans can look forward to better games in the future or we'll never see the remake we wanted. Who knows?!


- Players will finally get to meet Team Fortress 2's Pyro in a new update. This will most likely contain new weapons for all the classes. Head over to the website to partake in the Pyromania

-After it's fantastic showing at E3, fans will have to curb their appetite for Far Cry 3 after a recent announcement that the game will be pushed back from September 2012 to December 2012. It's a long time but the game will be well worth the wait


-The Skyrim:Dawnguard DLC was relased today. Some of the new additions include the ability to be a  flying vampire lord and access the all new Dawnguard storyline. So if you need more dragon-slaying action go download that from the X-Box Marketplace or the PSN for 1600 MS points($20). 




That's all I have for right now. Comments, questions and concerns in the appropriate places.
