Gaming & Esports
In addition to my own personal blog, "Bean Talks Games" found here on this site, I've written over 30 gaming and esports-related articles for Esports Illustrated/Esports On SI. This content consists of articles that cover breaking news stories, recommendations for different ways to play games, and guides for players looking to improve their gameplay. This page contains a showcase of what I believe are my six best articles, and then a button to view a document with a link to the rest of my articles. Unfortunately, in October 2025, Esports On SI was abruptly shut down with minimal notice. Due to this, I've lost access to the vast majority of articles I've written.
Some Of My Projects
Best Tank Specs for Beginners in World of Warcraft
This article discusses what it means to tank in Blizzard Entertainment's iconic MMORPG World of Warcraft and provides analysis on each tank specialization in the game. I provide analysis of how each spec is designed and rank them in terms of difficulty to play before providing final recommendations and warnings for new players.
Console Valorant First Impressions
Breaking news stories and guides comprise most of what I've written. However, I can produce quality reviews of games as well. Here I showcase my ability to identify key aspects of a game's design and provide easy to read analysis to fans in the form of a review.
Best UI Addons for World of Warcraft
For this piece, I wrote about the importance of having a functional UI in World of Warcraft and provided recommendations for the UI addons I believe have the biggest impact on a player's gameplay and can help them improve the most.
5 Best Headsets for Call of Duty
I believe it's important as a gaming & esports writer to have an understanding of not only games, but also the peripherals that players will be using while playing games. In this article I showcase my understanding of headsets and provide analysis of recommendations for which headsets the consumer should consider buying.
Gaming & Esports Portfolio
With the volume of content I have published, it wouldn't be reasonable to showcase each and every individual piece directly here on this site. That's why I maintain a document contains a link to each and every piece of published content I have for gaming & esports related content. This document combined with my personal blog "Bean Talks Games" are a comprehensive look at my extensive experience as a gaming content writer.
