Among the numerous pot bonuses being throw at the games in Evo 2015’s official lineup, one of the largest has been provided to Killer Instinct courtesy of Microsoft Studios, Iron Galaxy Studios, and the highly successful community fund. Apart from its normal payouts, the prize pool will divvy up a staggering $50,000 to the players who prove themselves strongest over the course of the weekend, and we now have an idea of how far into the standings that money will go.

According to new details provided to us by Evo organizer Joey Cuellar, the top 32 placers can look forward to receiving a slice of that pie, with over half going straight into the champion’s pocket. For a complete look at how the money will be divided, check out the table below.

Place Payout Percentage
1st $26,000 52%
2nd $10,000 20%
3rd $5,000 10%
4th $2,000 4%
5th $1,000 2%
7th $500 1%
9th $350 0.7%
13th $200 0.4%
17th $125 0.25%
25th $100 0.20%

Who do you think will walk away with the cash? Feel free to let us know below and get ready for Evo 2015 later this month on July 17-19.

Pathfinder Online: New Mule System Detailed

New Mule System Detailed

The Pathfinder Online site has been updated with a new blog post to tell players about the new mule system. Players can craft saddlebags to get their first mule that begins with a relatively small inventory and encumbrance level, but one that can be increased over time. Mules attacked by other players are considered an attack on the player. Mules reaching 0 HP will sit down and be free for the taking. Player death also frees the mule that can then be claimed by any other player in the area.

Competitor, Teacher, Legend; Upcoming Fighting Game Community Documentary Shares Segment on Alex Valle

It’s probably safe to say Alex “Calipower” Valle is one of the hardest working individuals in the fighting game community. From his early years of going toe-to-toe with fellow legends like Daigo Umehara to bringing up a fresh crop of competitors in Southern California, this pillar of our scene has worn just about every hat available and even created some himself.

That’s why, if you’re making a film about fighting games, you’ll definitely want to have a Valle segment. Fortunately, Shankar Tablada has done just that with his upcoming documentary “The Fighting Game Community.” He recently released a portion of the project that includes some commentary on Valle’s importance to the scene, with footage from a variety of events and interviews with EG|Justin Wong, PG|Filipino Champ, and more.

Check out the preview below and let us know what you think.
